|
This amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 4) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on November 24, 2014 (the Initial Statement and, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 4, collectively the Statement), by the undersigned, relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), of Ashford Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Statement.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.
Except as specifically supplemented by this Amendment No. 4, the Statement is unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On October 21, 2019, Ashford Trust filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, disclosing that on October 21, 2019, Ashford Trust declared the distribution of its remaining 205,086 shares of the Issuers Common Stock. Common stockholders and unitholders of Ashford Trust will receive their pro-rata share of the Issuers Common Stock.
The distribution to Ashford Trust common stockholders and unitholders will be completed through a pro-rata taxable dividend of the Issuers Common Stock on November 5, 2019 (the Distribution Date) to stockholders and unitholders of record (Ashford Trust Record Holders) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 29, 2019 (the Record Date). On the Distribution Date, each Ashford Trust Record Holder will receive approximately 0.0017 share of the Issuers Common Stock for every unit and/or share of Ashford Trust common stock held by such Ashford Trust Record Holder on the Record Date. The distribution is not contingent upon the Issuers planned acquisition of Remington Holdings, L.P.s hotel management business. After the distribution, Ashford Trust will not have any ownership interest in the Issuer.
