Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust” or the "Company"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2016. This Form 10-K/A is being filed for the purpose of providing separate consolidated financial statements of PIM Highland Holding LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and to correct a typographical error in the exhibit index of the originally filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 5, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2015 through March 5, 2015, and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014, and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and Report of Independent Auditors, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and are included as financial statement schedules in Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” of this Form 10-K/A. Ashford owned a 71.74% common equity interest and a 50% preferred equity interest in the Company, and Ashford accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting. As of March 6, 2015, Ashford Trust owns 100% interest in PIM Highland Holding LLC. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 5, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2015 through March 5, 2015, were not available at the time that Ashford Trust filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K on February 29, 2016.
The consent of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors for PIM Highland Holding LLC, is also filed as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In addition, this Form 10-K/A includes an updated exhibit index in respect thereof and certifications under Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A is not intended to update or modify any other information presented in Ashford Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as originally filed. This Amendment No. 1 does not update or modify in any way the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures in Ashford Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and does not reflect events occurring after the Form 10-K’s original filing date of February 29, 2016. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
