Subsidiaries of Dallas hotel investment trusts Ashford Hospitality Trust and Braemar Hotels & Resorts received loans under the government's Paycheck Protection Program.
Ashford estimates more than 1 million shares, or nearly a third of its common stock, will be cashed out. It’ll cost the company more than $12 million including transaction expenses. As of Dec. 31, the company had more than $30 million of corporate cash, according to Ashford’s fourth-quarter results. After the reverse split, stockholders owning 10,000 or more shares of the company’s common stock would have a forward split of 10,000-for-1 applied to their shares.Ashford’s goal with the stock split strategy is to help the company reduce its shareholders to less than 300 so it doesn’t have to report to the SEC and to offer liquidity to smaller stockholders without a brokerage commission, according to the statement.
If all goes as Ashford hopes, after shareholders meet this summer and approve the reverse stock split, then it will terminate its registration with the SEC and delist from NYSE.U.S. home insurance premiums may hit a record this year, report warns U.S. home insurance rates are expected to reach a record high this year, with the biggest increases occurring in states prone to severe weather events, according to a new analysis.The Motley Fool likes Starbucks' prospects: Besides its valuable brand, the company’s sophisticated digital ordering capabilities are a key to its success., Business Reporter.
