INITIATIVES TO STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL POSITION AND IMPROVE UNITHOLDER VALUE
REVIEW OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES
On May 4, 2026, AHIP announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") initiated a review of strategic alternatives (the "Strategic Review") to maximize unitholder value. During the Strategic Review, the Board will analyze and evaluate a range of alternatives. AHIP has retained Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated ("Baird") as financial advisor to advise AHIP in connection with its Strategic Review.
AHIP has not established a definitive timeline to complete the Strategic Review or any potential transaction, and no decisions have been reached at this time. There can be no assurance that the engagement of Baird or the Strategic Review will result in any transaction or initiative or, if a transaction or initiative is undertaken, as to the terms or timing of such a transaction or initiative. AHIP does not currently intend to disclose further developments in connection with or arising from the Strategic Review or in connection with any transaction, initiative or related matter, unless and until it is determined that disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
ADDRESSING 2026 BALANCE SHEET OBLIGATIONS
AHIP has made significant progress on its plan to reduce debt and improve the quality of its portfolio through asset sales and loan refinancings. AHIP disposed of eighteen hotel properties in 2025 for total gross proceeds of $160.9 million and three hotel properties to date in 2026 for total gross proceeds of $67.3 million, which has improved the overall portfolio asset quality, while also significantly reducing leverage. AHIP also completed two loan refinancings in 2025 for total gross proceeds of $144.3 million. The net proceeds from these sales along with a portion of the proceeds from the loan refinancings, were used to repay the CMBS loans secured by those properties, a portion of the Portfolio Loan and to redeem $25.0 million of the outstanding Series C Shares. These transactions significantly improved the overall duration of AHIP's outstanding loans.
AHIP has no secured debt maturing until the fourth quarter of 2026, with a $22.3 million CMBS loan maturing in November 2026. AHIP is currently marketing each hotel in this portfolio for sale. Effective January 28, 2026, the dividend rate on the $50.0 million outstanding Series C Preferred Shares of U.S. Subsidiary Inc. ("Series C Shares") increased from 9.0% to 14.0% per annum and certain other provisions under the Investor Rights Agreement apply which may reduce AHIP's flexibility until such time as the Series C Shares have been fully redeemed. On March 13, 2026, AHIP redeemed $25.0 million of the $50.0 million stated face value of the Series C Shares, which results in a remaining $25.0 million stated face value. These restrictions are summarized below under the heading "Restrictions Under the Investor Rights Agreement". AHIP's 6.0% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the "Debentures") mature on December 31, 2026.
Regarding potential dispositions, AHIP currently has six hotels under contract for sale with additional hotels under consideration for sale. As noted above the Board is currently conducting the Strategic Review through which the Board considers a range of alternatives, which may include additional asset sales. The number of potential hotel dispositions will be dependent on the outcome of the Strategic Review as well as regional market factors, hotel performance, hotel size, nature and value of any offers and whether any portion of the remaining Series C Shares and/or Debentures are recapitalized. The continuation of AHIP as a going concern is subject to the successful implementation of the above strategies.
HOTEL DISPOSITIONS
2026 Hotel Dispositions
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, AHIP completed the disposition of one hotel property for total gross proceeds of $8.3 million. After adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, the sales price for the one hotel property sold in Q1 2026, represents a Cap Rate of 9.0% on 2025 annual hotel EBITDA1). The net proceeds from this disposition were used to repay a portion of the Portfolio Loan and added to AHIP's cash balances.
AHIP's enterprise value as at March 31, 2026 reflects an implied Cap Rate of 8.7% on 2025 annual hotel EBITDA for the portfolio of 30 hotel properties, based on the Canadian dollar closing price of $0.46 per unit on the TSX on March 31, 2026, and converted to US dollars at a foreign exchange rate of CDN$1.39 to US$1.
At March 31, 2026 and the date of the MD&A, AHIP has six hotel properties under purchase and sale agreements and classified as held for sale: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers in Fort Myers, FL Embassy Suites Tempe in Tempe, Springhill Suites Arundel Mills BWI Airport in Hanover, MD; Hilton Garden Inn Baltimore White Marsh in Baltimore, MD; Homewood Suites Dover Rockaway in Dover, NJ; and Homewood Suites Allentown West Fogelsville Allentown in PA. These sales are expected to close in the second and third quarter of 2026. Upon closing, these sales would represent total gross proceeds of $78.4 million at a blended Cap Rate of 5.9% on 2025 annual hotel EBITDA.
On April 1, 2026, AHIP completed the sale of Embassy Suites Cleveland Rockside in OH and Embassy Suites Colombus Dublin in OH. These two hotels, which were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2026, plus an additional hotel now unencumbered were previously part of a $58.3 million CMBS Loan which was fully repaid at closing. The total gross proceeds were $59.0 million at a blended Cap rate of 9.0% on 2025 annual EBTIDA. AHIP used the net proceeds from the sale of these hotels to repay the CMBS Loan secured by three hotel properties.
2026 FIRST QUARTER REVIEW
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, ADR increased 5.0% to $142, and occupancy increased by 70 bps to 68.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Overall, improved ADR and occupancy resulted in an increase of 5.4% in RevPAR to $97, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The improved performance is attributable to the disposition of hotel properties with lower-than-average portfolio RevPAR and an increase in same property ADR of 2.2%.
NOI was $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreases of 35.0% compared to NOI of $12.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in NOI was primarily due to the disposition of the eighteen hotel properties completed in 2025.
NOI margin was 22.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of 340 bps compared to 26.1% for the same period of 2025. The decrease in NOI margin was due to higher operating expenses as a result of increases in room labour expenses, utilities, and maintenance expenses partially offset by the disposal of underperforming hotels.
Diluted FFO per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was ($0.03) compared to diluted FFO per unit of ($0.02) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in diluted FFO per unit was mainly due to lower NOI as a result of sold properties, higher operating expenses on same properties, partially offset by a reduction in the weighted average number of Units outstanding and lower corporate and administrative expenses in the current year.
SAME PROPERTY KPIs
The following table summarizes key performance indicators ("KPIs") for the portfolio for the five most recent quarters with a comparison to the same period in the prior year on a same-property basis.

In the first quarter of 2026, same property ADR was $142, an increase of 2.2% compared to the same period in 2025. Same property occupancy decreased by 30 bps to 68.7% in the current quarter, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in same property ADR is primarily attributable to improved retail segment, partially offset by a reduction in government travel. Overall, the increase in same property ADR was partially offset by a small decrease in same property occupancy.
Same property NOI decreased by 13.1% and same property NOI margin decreased by 430 bps in the current quarter, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in same property NOI and NOI margin was primarily driven by increases in room labour, food and beverage expenses and utility expenses. Two of the Embassy Suites properties were sold following the end of the quarter.

(1) See "Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures"
Debt to gross book value was 50.1% as at March 31, 2026, an increase of 140 bps compared to December 31, 2025. Debt to EBITDA as at March 31, 2026 was 10.4x, an increase of 1.0x compared to December 31, 2025. The change in debt to gross book value and debt to EBITDA ratios was driven by reduction in unrestricted cash balances from the Series C Share redemption of $25.0 million and use of net proceeds from completed dispositions to reduce outstanding debt. As at March 31, 2026, AHIP had an unrestricted cash balance of $15.5 million compared to $36.4 million as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the redemption of $25.0 million of the $50.0 million outstanding Series C Shares. As at March 31, 2026 AHIP held a restricted cash balance of $22.9 million and had an additional $13.1 million available under the Portfolio Loan for capital improvements related to the properties secured by the loan.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
AHIP's capital projects include hotel brand mandated property improvement plans ("PIPs") and FF&E improvements. Select projects may generate positive return on investment through the refreshment and upgrade of guest-facing items, ensuring that each property maintains its competitive advantage in the marketplace. AHIP currently has one hotel project in the construction phase, one hotel project in the pre-construction phase, and two hotel projects in the design phase for future renovations.
Actual capital spend on PIPs and FF&E was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The majority of this capital spend was funded through restricted cash contributed by AHIP in prior periods. PIP spend was focused on the renovation at the Fairfield Inn & Suites, South Hill VA which was substantially complete at the end of the first quarter of 2026 and to prepare for the renovation of the Hampton Inn Emporia VA renovation planned for the second quarter of 2026.

2 NOI and NOI margin included the IFRIC 21 property taxes adjustment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, ADR, Occupancy and RevPAR increased compared to the same period in the prior year. The overall improved performance is primarily attributable to the disposition of hotel properties with lower-than-average portfolio RevPAR. Revenue in the current quarter decreased by 25.2% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenue was due to the disposition of eighteen hotel properties completed in 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, NOI decreased by 35.0% and NOI margin decreased by 340 bps compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in NOI was primarily due to the disposition of eighteen hotel properties in 2025. The decrease in NOI margin was largely driven by higher operating expenses as a result of general cost inflation, repair and maintenance expenses, partially offset by disposition of hotels with lower than average NOI margin.
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred income taxes. Current income taxes and deferred income taxes are recognized in loss and comprehensive loss, except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity. Current income tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

NON-IFRS AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management believes the following non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, capital management measures and supplementary financial measures are relevant measures to monitor and evaluate AHIP's financial and operating performance. These measures and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures and ratio are included to provide investors and management additional information and alternative methods for assessing AHIP's financial and operating results and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
FFO: FFO measures operating performance and is calculated in accordance with Real Property Association of Canada's ("REALPAC") definition. FFO - basic is calculated by adjusting income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of property, IFRIC 21 property taxes, fair value gain or loss, impairment of property, deferred income tax, and other applicable items. FFO - diluted is calculated as FFO - basic plus the interest, accretion, and amortization on convertible debentures if convertible debentures are dilutive. The most comparable IFRS measure to FFO is loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
AFFO: AFFO is defined as a recurring economic earnings measure and calculated in accordance with REALPAC's definition. AFFO - basic is calculated as FFO - basic less maintenance capital expenditures. AFFO - diluted is calculated as FFO - diluted less maintenance capital expenditures. The most comparable IFRS measure to AFFO is loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Normalized FFO: calculated as FFO adjusting for non-recurring items. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 normalized FFO was equal to FFO as there were no non-recurring items. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized FFO is loss and comprehensive loss, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Normalized NOI: For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 normalized NOI was equal to NOI as there were no non-recurring items. The most comparable IFRS measure to normalized NOI is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Hotel EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for hotel management fees. The most comparable IFRS measure to hotel EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
EBITDA: calculated by adjusting NOI for hotel management fees and general administrative expenses. The sum of hotel management fees and general administrative expenses is equal to corporate and administrative expenses in the Financial Statements. The most comparable IFRS measure to EBITDA is NOI, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Debt: calculated as the sum of term loans, revolving credit facility (where applicable) and Portfolio Loan, the face value of convertible debentures, unamortized portion of debt financing costs, and lease liabilities. The most comparable IFRS measure to debt is total liabilities, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Gross book value: calculated as the sum of total assets, accumulated depreciation and impairment on property, buildings and equipment, and accumulated amortization on intangible assets. The most comparable IFRS measure to gross book value is total assets, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
Interest expense: calculated by adjusting finance costs for gain/loss on debt settlement, amortization of debt financing costs, accretion of debenture liability, amortization of debenture costs, dividends on series B preferred shares, and accretion of management fee because interest expense excludes certain non-cash accounting items and dividends on preferred shares. The most comparable IFRS measure to interest expense is finance costs, for which a reconciliation is provided in this news release.
NON-IFRS RATIOS:
FFO per Unit - basic/diluted: calculated as FFO - basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of Units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.
Normalized FFO per Unit - basic/diluted: calculated as normalized FFO - basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of Units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.
AFFO per Unit - basic/diluted: calculated as AFFO - basic/diluted divided by weighted average number of Units outstanding - basic/diluted respectively for the reporting periods.
NOI margin: calculated as NOI divided by total revenue-
Hotel EBITDA margin: calculated as hotel EBITDA divided by total revenue.
EBITDA margin: calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenue.
Capitalization rate ("Cap Rate"): calculated as 2024 annual hotel EBITDA for properties sold in 2025 and 2025 annual Hotel EBITDA for properties sold or under contract for sale in 2026, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% furniture, fixtures, and equipment ("FF&E") reserve, divided by the actual and estimated gross proceeds of the asset dispositions.
Implied capitalization rate ("Implied Cap Rate"): calculated as 2025 annual hotel EBITDA, after adjusting for an industry standard 4% FF&E reserve, for the portfolio of 30 hotel properties divided by the enterprise value.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES:
Debt to gross book value: calculated as debt divided by gross book value. Debt to gross book value is a primary measure of capital management and leverage.
Debt to EBITDA: calculated as debt divided by the trailing twelve months ("TTM") EBITDA. Debt to EBITDA measures the amount of income generated and is available to pay down debt before covering interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses.
Interest coverage ratio: calculated as TTM EBITDA divided by interest expense for the trailing twelve months. The interest coverage ratio is a measure of AHIP's ability to service the interest requirements of its outstanding debt.
SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL MEASURES:
Occupancy is a major driver of room revenue as well as food and beverage revenues. Fluctuations in occupancy are normally accompanied by fluctuations in most categories of variable hotel operating expenses, including housekeeping and other labour costs. Higher ADR increases room revenue with limited impact on hotel operating expenses. Increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in occupancy may reduce EBITDA and EBITDA margins, while increase in RevPAR attributable to increase in ADR typically result in increases in EBITDA and EBITDA margins.
Occupancy: calculated as the total number of hotel rooms sold divided by the total number of rooms available for the reporting periods. Occupancy is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to measure the utilization of hotels' available capacity.
Average daily rate ("ADR"): calculated as total room revenue divided by total number of rooms sold for the reporting periods. ADR is a metric commonly used in the hotel industry to indicate the average revenue earned per occupied room in a given time period.
Revenue per available room ("RevPAR"): calculated as occupancy multiplied by ADR for the reporting periods.
Same property ADR, occupancy, RevPAR, and NOI margin: measured for properties owned by AHIP for both the current reporting periods and the same periods in 2025.
Enterprise value: is a supplementary financial measure and is calculated as the sum of (i) total debt obligations as reflected on the March 31, 2026 Statement of Financial Position (ii) AHIP's market capitalization (which is calculated as the Canadian dollar closing price of the Units on the TSX as of March 31, 2026, converted to US dollars at a foreign exchange rate of CDN$1.39 to US$1, multiplied by the total number of Units issued and outstanding as at such date), and (iii) face value of Series C Shares, less (iv) the amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents reflected on the March 31, 2026 Statement of Financial Position.
