ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS
On February 16, 2006, Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a definitive

approximately $95.0 million in cash from W2001 Pac Realty, L.L.C. The acquisition is expected to

The Company intends to convert the hotel to a luxury brand, which will then operate the hotel under

The Company has deposited $4.0 million under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and this deposit is
non-refundable except (i) in the event of a default under the Purchase and Sale Agreement by the
seller; or (ii) as expressly provided in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Consummation of the
transaction is subject to closing conditions, and the Company’s obligations under the Purchase and
Sale Agreement are conditioned upon satisfaction of customary conditions precedent related to title
of the property, performance of obligations, and similar matters. Accordingly, the Company can
give no assurance that all or part of the transaction will be consummated or that, if consummated,
it would follow all of the terms set forth in the agreements governing the transaction.
