We refer to Sotherly Hotels Inc. as the “Company,” Sotherly Hotels LP as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “common stock,” the Company’s preferred stock as “preferred stock,” and the Operating Partnership’s common partnership interest as “partnership units,” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred interest as the “preferred units.” References to “we” and “our” mean the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.
The Company conducts virtually all of its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner.

SOTHERLY HOTELS INC.
SOTHERLY HOTELS LP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Sotherly Hotels Inc. (the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated in Maryland on August 20, 2004. The Company historically has focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States. The Company’s portfolio, as of March 31, 2023, consisted of investments in ten hotel properties, comprising 2,786 rooms and two hotel commercial condominium units and their associated rental programs. Seven of our hotels operated under the Hilton, DoubleTree, and Hyatt brands, and three are independent hotels.
The Company commenced operations on December 21, 2004 when it completed its initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of six hotel properties (the “Initial Properties”). Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP (the “Operating Partnership”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) of the Operating Partnership, the Company, as general partner, is not entitled to compensation for its services to the Operating Partnership. The Company, as general partner, conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company’s administrative expenses are the obligations of the Operating Partnership. Additionally, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for any expenditure incurred by it on the Operating Partnership’s behalf.
For the Company to qualify as a REIT, it cannot operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership, which at March 31, 2023 was approximately 95.9% owned by the Company, and its subsidiaries, lease its hotels to direct and indirect subsidiaries of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “MHI TRS Entities”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The MHI TRS Entities have engaged Our Town Hospitality, LLC (“Our Town”), an eligible independent management company, to operate the hotels under management contracts. MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. (“MHI TRS”) is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes.
All references in these “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” to “we”, “us”, “our” and “Sotherly” refer to the Company, its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and predecessors, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.
Overview of Significant Transactions
Significant transactions occurring during the current period and prior fiscal year include the following:
On February 10, 2022, Louisville Hotel Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Company, closed on the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside hotel located in Jeffersonville, Indiana to Riverside Hotel, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, for a purchase price of $11.5 million, including the assumption by the buyer of the mortgage loan on the hotel.
On June 10, 2022, we closed the sale of the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University hotel. The Company used approximately $18.6 million of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the hotel to repay the existing mortgage on the property and approximately $19.8 million of the net cash proceeds to repay a portion of the secured notes (the “Secured Notes”) with KWHP SOHO, LLC and MIG SOHO, LLC (together, the “Investors”) as required by the terms of the Secured Notes. The Company used the remaining net cash proceeds for general corporate purposes. The Investors received approximately $19.8 million of the proceeds from the sale of the hotel, of which approximately $13.3 million was applied toward principal, approximately $6.3 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.2 million was applied toward accrued interest. Additionally, the terms of the Secured Notes allowed for the release of a portion of the interest reserves in the amount of approximately $1.6 million, of which approximately $1.1 million was applied toward principal and approximately $0.5 million was applied toward the exit fee.
On June 28, 2022, affiliates of the Company entered into amended loan documents to modify the existing mortgage loan on the Hotel Alba Tampa with the existing lender, Fifth Third Bank. Pursuant to the amended loan documents, the amended mortgage loan: (i) has an increased principal balance of $25.0 million; (ii) includes an extended maturity date of June 30, 2025, which may be further extended for additional periods of one year each, subject to certain conditions; (iii) bears a floating interest rate of SOFR plus 2.75%, subject to a floor rate of 2.75%; (iv) amortizes on a 25-year schedule and requires payments of monthly interest plus $40,600
15
monthly amortization payments; and (v) is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership up to $12.5 million, with the guaranty reducing to $6.25 million upon the successful achievement of certain performance milestones.
On June 29, 2022, the Company used the proceeds from the refinance of the Hotel Alba Tampa, along with approximately $0.2 million of cash on hand as well as the balance of the interest reserve under the Secured Notes of approximately $0.5 million, to satisfy and pay in full the Secured Notes. The Investors received approximately $8.3 million in satisfaction of the Secured Notes, of which approximately $5.6 million was applied toward principal, approximately $2.6 million was applied toward the exit fee owed under the Secured Notes, and approximately $0.02 million was applied toward accrued interest. Concurrent with the cancellation of the Secured Notes, the following agreements were also terminated in accordance with their terms: (i) Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) Pledge and Security Agreement; (iii) Board Observer Agreement; and (iv) other related ancillary agreements.
From March 24, 2022 through August 24, 2022, the Company entered into various privately-negotiated share exchange agreements with holders of its Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to those share exchange agreements, the Company has exchanged an aggregate of 806,849 shares of its common stock for 45,900 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, 38,500 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, and 1,900 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, together with all of the holder’s rights to receive accrued and unpaid dividends on those shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock. The common stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as amended, for securities exchanged by an issuer with an existing security holder in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was be paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such an exchange.
On February 26, 2023, the Company entered into amended loan documents to modify the mortgage loan on The Whitehall hotel located in Houston, TX with the lender, International Bank of Commerce. The amendment (i) extends the maturity date to February 26, 2028; (ii) maintains a floating interest rate of New York Prime Rate plus 1.25%; and (iii) subjects the interest rate to a floor rate of 7.50%. The mortgage loan continues to be guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The amendment also required us to establish a real estate tax reserve as well as a debt service reserve that approximates the aggregate amount of one year's debt service, which was initially established at approximately $1.5 million.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels Inc., the Operating Partnership, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership presented herein include all of the accounts of Sotherly Hotels LP, MHI TRS and subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Additionally, all administrative expenses of the Company and those expenditures made by the Company on behalf of the Operating Partnership are reflected as the administrative expenses, expenditures and obligations thereto of the Operating Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Variable Interest Entities – The Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity. The Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. All of the Company’s debt is an obligation of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
Investment in Hotel Properties – Investments in hotel properties include investments in operating properties which are recorded at fair value on acquisition date and allocated to land, property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. If substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset, the asset is not considered a business. When we conclude that an acquisition meets this threshold, acquisition costs will be capitalized as part of our allocation of the purchase price of the acquired asset. We capitalize the costs of significant additions and improvements that materially upgrade, increase the value of or extend the useful life of the property. These costs may include refurbishment, renovation, and remodeling expenditures, as well as certain direct internal costs related to construction projects. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 7 to 39 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.
16
The Company assesses the carrying values of its investments in hotel properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse permanent changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel property exceeds its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are found to be less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property’s estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss recognized.
The Company recognized no impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash – Restricted cash includes real estate tax escrows, insurance escrows, mortgage servicing and reserves for replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment pursuant to certain requirements in our various mortgage agreements.

Concentration of Credit Risk – We hold cash accounts at several institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) protection limits of $250,000. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of the failure of these institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC protection limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors, on a regular basis, the financial condition of the financial institutions along with the balances there on deposit to minimize our potential risk.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel guest and banqueting receivables. With ongoing evaluations of our trade receivables, credit customer's risk assessment and limiting credit to only a few larger companies or organizations, our potential for expected credit losses is insignificant. Our revenue is mainly based on cash or credit card sales as of the date of service, with limited trade receivables. An allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible.
Inventories – Inventories, consisting primarily of food and beverages, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a method that approximates first-in, first-out basis.
Franchise License Fees – Fees expended to obtain or renew a franchise license are amortized over the life of the license or renewal. The unamortized franchise fees as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $229,164 and $241,038, respectively. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled $11,874 and $12,007, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs – Deferred financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in issuing debt and are reflected in mortgage loans, net and unsecured notes, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred offering costs are recorded at cost and consist of offering fees and other costs incurred in advance of issuing equity and are reflected in prepaid expenses, inventory and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivative Instruments – Our derivative instruments are reflected as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value. Derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as an interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital to the extent the hedge is effective. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings along with the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting or is not designated as a hedge, the change in fair value each period is reported in earnings.
We use derivative instruments to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we currently use interest rate swaps which act as cash flow hedges and are not designated as hedges. We
17
value our interest rate swaps at fair value, which we define as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We do not enter into contracts to purchase or sell derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.
Fair Value Measurements –
We classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. |
Level 3 |
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table represents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the basis for that measurement (our interest rate swaps are the only assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no non-recurring assets or liabilities for fair value measurements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively):

Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership – Certain hotel properties were acquired, in part, by the Operating Partnership through the issuance of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is: (i) increased or decreased by the limited partners’ pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or net loss, respectively; (ii) decreased by distributions; (iii) decreased by redemption of partnership units for the Company’s common stock; and (iv) adjusted to equal the net equity of the Operating Partnership multiplied by the limited partners’ ownership percentage immediately after each issuance of units of the Operating Partnership and/or the Company’s common stock through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Net income or net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the period.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including the sales of rooms, food and beverage, and other ancillary services. Room revenue is recognized over a customer’s hotel stay. Revenue from food and beverage and other ancillary services is generated when a customer chooses to purchase goods or services separately from a hotel room and revenue is recognized on these distinct goods and services at the point in time or over the time period that goods or services are provided to the customer. Some contracts for rooms or food and beverage services require an upfront deposit which is recorded as advanced deposits (or contract liabilities) shown on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied.
Certain ancillary services are provided by third parties and the Company assesses whether it is the principal or agent in these arrangements. If the Company is the agent, revenue is recognized based upon the gross commission earned from the third party. If the Company is the principal, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the gross sales price. With respect to the hotel condominium rental programs that the Company operates at the Hyde Resort and Hyde Beach House, the Company has determined that it is an agent and recognizes revenue based on its share of revenue earned under the rental agency agreement.
18
Certain of the Company’s hotels have retail spaces, restaurants or other spaces which the Company leases to third parties. Lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and included in other operating revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The Company collects sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes at its hotels which are presented on a net basis on the consolidated statements of operations.
Lease Revenue – Several of our properties generate revenue from leasing commercial space adjacent to the hotel, the restaurant space within the hotel, apartment units and space on the roofs of our hotels for antennas and satellite dishes. We account for the lease income as revenue from other operating departments within the consolidated statements of operations pursuant to the terms of each lease. Lease revenue was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
A schedule of minimum future lease payments receivable for the remaining nine and twelve-month periods is as follows:

Income Taxes – The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. MHI TRS, our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary which leases our hotels from subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, is subject to federal and state income taxes.
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is “more-likely-than-not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will or will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain financial statement periods. The “more-likely-than-not” analysis means the likelihood of realization is greater than 50%, that we either will or will not be able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets against future taxable income. The net amount of deferred tax assets that are recorded on the financial statements must reflect the tax benefits that are expected to be realized using these criteria. As of March 31, 2023, we have determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not be able to fully utilize our deferred tax assets for future tax consequences, therefore a 100% valuation allowance is required. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, deferred tax assets each totaled $0, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2023, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject generally include 2014 through 2022. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions to which MHI TRS is subject, because of open NOL carryforwards, generally include 2014 through 2022.
The Operating Partnership is generally not subject to federal and state income taxes as the unit holders of the Partnership are subject to tax on their respective shares of the Partnership’s taxable income.
Stock-based Compensation – The Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2022, permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and service/performance share compensation awards to its employees and directors for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders.
Under the 2022 Plan, the Company may issue a variety of service or performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of March 31, 2023, 451,668 service-based stock awards have been granted.
19
The Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which the Company’s stockholders approved in April 2013, permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and service or performance share compensation awards to its employees and directors for up to 750,000 shares of common stock. All future awards will be made under the 2022 Plan.
As of March 31, 2023, under the 2013 Plan, the Company has made cumulative service-based stock awards totaling 745,160 shares, including 700,160 unrestricted shares and 45,000 restricted shares issued to certain executives and employees and to its independent directors. All awards have vested except for 45,000 shares issued to certain employees, which will vest over the next two years. The remaining 4,840 shares have been deregistered.
Under the 2013 Plan, the Company was able to issue a variety of performance-based stock awards, including nonqualified stock options. The value of the awards is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period based on the value of the award as determined by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant or issuance. As of March 31, 2023, no performance-based stock awards have been granted. Total compensation cost recognized under the 2013 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $22,883 and $406,007, respectively.
Additionally, the Company sponsors and maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. We reflect unearned ESOP shares as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Dividends on unearned ESOP shares, when paid, are considered compensation expense. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the ESOP compensation cost was $12,195 and $14,154, respectively. To the extent that the fair value of the Company’s ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the differential is recognized as additional paid in capital. Because the ESOP is internally leveraged through a loan from the Company to the ESOP, the loan receivable by the Company from the ESOP is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.
Advertising – Advertising costs, including internet advertising, were $705,703, and $622,684 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Involuntary Conversion of Assets – We record gains or losses on involuntary conversions of assets due to recovered insurance proceeds to the extent the undepreciated cost of a nonmonetary asset differs from the amount of monetary proceeds received. The gain on involuntary conversion of assets, is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. We do not have any items of comprehensive income other than net income.
Segment Information – We have determined that our business is conducted in one reportable segment: hotel ownership.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements –In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments -Credit Losses(Topic 326), which replaced the existing "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, the forward looking "expected loss" model will generally result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments -Credit Losses, which clarified that operating lease receivables accounted for under ASC 842 are not in the scope of ASU 2016-13. With the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023, we have determined there is no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The update provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions as a result of this reference rate reform. The option expedients and exceptions contained within this update, in general, only apply to contract amendments and modifications entered into prior to January 1, 2023. The provisions of this update will most likely affect our financial reporting process relating to modifications of contracts with lenders and the hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract. In general, the provision of the update would benefit us by allowing modifications of debt contracts with lenders that fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 740 to be accounted for as a non-substantial modification and
20
not be considered debt extinguishment. As of December 31, 2022, we have not entered into any contract modification as it directly relates to reference rate reform, with the exception of a modification to the mortgages on The Whitehall in Houston, Texas, which changed the reference rate from LIBOR to the New York Prime Rate, and on Hotel Alba Tampa, Tapestry Collection in Tampa, Florida, which changed the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. On March 14, 2023, the Company modified the floating-rate mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport to change the reference rate from 1-month LIBOR to SOFR. The Company anticipates no additional loan modifications will be required. With the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2023, we have determined there is no significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

PPP Loans. The Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries have received PPP Loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration pursuant to the CARES Act. Each PPP Loan has a term of two years, which may be extended to five years and carries an interest rate of 1.00%. Equal payments of principal and interest begin no later than 10 months following origination of the loan and are amortized over the remaining term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of each PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs. The promissory note for each PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breach of representations and warranties or of provisions of the relevant promissory note. Under the terms of the CARES Act, each borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. No assurance is provided that any borrower will obtain forgiveness under any relevant PPP Loan in whole or in part.
On April 16, 2020, our Operating Partnership entered into a promissory note with Village Bank in connection with a PPP Loan and received proceeds of $333,500.
On April 28, 2020, we entered into a promissory note and received proceeds of $9,432,900 under a PPP Loan from Fifth Third Bank, National Association.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
Ground, Building, Parking and Land Leases – We lease 2,086 square feet of commercial space next to The DeSoto for use as an office, retail or conference space, or for any related or ancillary purposes for the hotel and/or atrium space. In December 2007, we signed an amendment to the lease to include rights to the outdoor esplanade adjacent to the leased commercial space. The areas are leased under a six-year operating lease, which expired October 31, 2006 and has been renewed for the fourth of five optional five-year renewal periods expiring October 31, 2026. Rent expense for this operating lease for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, each totaled $20,983, respectively.
We lease, as landlord, the entire fourteenth floor of The DeSoto hotel property to The Chatham Club, Inc. under a ninety-nine year lease expiring July 31, 2086. This lease was assumed upon the purchase of the building under the terms and conditions agreed to by the previous owner of the property. No rental income is recognized under the terms of this lease as the original lump sum rent payment of $990 was received by the previous owner and not prorated over the life of the lease.
22
We lease land adjacent to the Hotel Alba Tampa for use as parking under a five-year renewable agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation that commenced in July 2009. In May 2014, we extended the agreement for an additional five years. We signed a new agreement in April 2019, which commenced in July 2019, goes for five years and can be renewed for an additional five years. The new agreement expires in July 2024, requires annual payments of $2,432, plus tax, and may be renewed for an additional five years. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled $651 and $653, respectively,
We lease approximately 8,500 square feet of commercial office space in Williamsburg, Virginia under an agreement with a ten-year term beginning January 1, 2020. The initial annual rent under the agreement was $218,875, with the rent for each successive annual period increasing by 3.0% over the prior annual period’s rent. The annual rent will be offset by a tenant improvement allowance of $200,000, to be applied against one-half of each monthly rent payment until such time as the tenant improvement allowance is exhausted. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, each totaled $55,902, respectively.
We lease the land underlying all of the Hyatt Centric Arlington hotel pursuant to a ground lease. The ground lease requires us to make rental payments of $50,000 per year in base rent and percentage rent equal to 3.5% of gross room revenue in excess of certain thresholds, as defined in the ground lease agreement. The initial term of the ground lease expires in 2025 and may be extended for five additional renewal periods of 10 years each. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was $139,101 and $72,013, respectively.
We lease the parking garage and poolside cabanas associated with the Hyde Beach House. The parking and cabana lease requires us to make rental payments of $270,100 per year with increases of 5% every five years and has an initial term that expires in 2034 and which may be extended for four additional renewal periods of 5 years each. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, each totaled $67,750, respectively.
We also lease certain storage facilities, furniture and equipment under agreements expiring between December 2023 and June 2026.

Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into various employment contracts with employees that could result in obligations to the Company in the event of a change in control or termination without cause.
Management Agreements – As of March 31, 2023, our ten wholly-owned hotels, and our two condo-hotel rental programs, operated under management agreements with Our Town (see Note 8). The management agreements expire on March 31, 2035 and may be extended for up to two additional periods of five years each, subject to the approval of both parties. Each of the individual hotel management agreements may be terminated earlier than the stated term upon the sale of the hotel covered by the respective management agreement, in which case we may incur early termination fees.
Franchise Agreements – As of March 31, 2023, seven of our hotels operate under franchise licenses from national hotel companies. Under the franchise agreements, we are required to pay a franchise fee generally between 3.0% and 5.0% of room revenues, plus additional fees for marketing, central reservation systems, and other franchisor programs and services that amount to between 3.0% and 4.0% of gross revenues from the hotels. The franchise agreements currently in force expire between October 2024 and March 2038. Each of our franchise agreements provides for early termination fees in the event the agreement is terminated before the stated term.
Restricted Cash Reserves – Each month, we are required to escrow with the lenders on the Hotel Ballast, The DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, the Hyatt Centric Arlington and the Georgian Terrace an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual real estate taxes due for the properties. Several of our lenders also required us to establish individual property improvement funds to cover the cost of replacing capital assets at our properties. Each month, those contributions equal 4.0% of gross revenues for the Hotel Ballast, The DeSoto, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, The Whitehall and the Georgian Terrace and equal 4.0% of room
23
revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and the Hyatt Centric Arlington. We are also required by some lenders to have a debt service reserve that approximates the aggregate amount of one year's debt service, which was initially established at approximately $1.5 million, in 2022.
ESOP Loan Commitment – The Company’s board of directors approved the ESOP on November 29, 2016, which was adopted by the Company in December 2016 and effective January 1, 2016. The ESOP is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company. The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning funds are loaned to the ESOP from the Company. The Company entered into a loan agreement with the ESOP on December 29, 2016, pursuant to which the ESOP may borrow up to $5.0 million to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market. Under the loan agreement, the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time may not exceed $5.0 million and the ESOP may borrow additional funds up to that limit in the future, until December 29, 2036. At March 31, 2023, the balance on the loan was approximately $2.6 million leaving capacity for additional borrowing of approximately $2.4 million under the commitment.
Litigation –We are involved in routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, all of which we expect to be covered by insurance and we believe it is not reasonably possible such matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations or cash flows.

Our Town Hospitality. Our Town is currently the management company for each of our ten wholly-owned hotels, as well as the manager of our rental programs at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. As of March 31, 2023, an affiliate of Andrew M. Sims, our Chairman, an affiliate of David R. Folsom, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew M. Sims Jr., our Vice President - Operations & Investor Relations, beneficially owned approximately 63.0%, 7.0%, and 15.0%, respectively, of the total outstanding ownership interests of Our Town. Mr. Sims, Mr. Folsom, and Mr. Sims Jr. serve as directors of Our Town. The following is a summary of the transactions between Our Town and us:
Accounts Receivable – At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we were due approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from Our Town.
Accounts Payable – At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we owed Our Town approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
26
Management Agreements – On September 6, 2019, the Company entered into a master agreement with Our Town related to the management of certain of our hotels, as amended on December 13, 2019 (as amended, the “OTH Master Agreement”). On December 13, 2019, and subsequent dates we entered into a series of individual hotel management agreements for the management of our hotels. The hotel management agreements for each of our ten wholly-owned hotels and the two rental programs are referred to as, individually an “OTH Hotel Management Agreement” and, together the “OTH Hotel Management Agreements”. The term of the OTH Hotel Management Agreements extends through March 31, 2035, and may be extended for two periods of five years each.
The OTH Master Agreement provides for an adjustment to the fees payable by us under the OTH Hotel Management Agreements in the event the net operating income of Our Town falls below $250,000 for any calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The OTH Master Agreement expires on March 31, 2035 but shall be extended beyond 2035 for such additional periods as an OTH Hotel Management Agreement remains in effect. The base management fees for each hotel under management with Our Town is 2.50%. For any new individual hotel management agreements, Our Town will receive a base management fee of 2.00% of gross revenues for the first full year from the commencement date through the anniversary date, 2.25% of gross revenues the second full year, and 2.50% of gross revenues for every year thereafter.
Base management and administrative fees earned by Our Town for our properties were approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Each OTH Hotel Management Agreement sets an incentive management fee equal to 10.0% of the amount by which gross operating profit, as defined in the relevant management agreement, for a given year exceeds the budgeted gross operating profit for such year; provided, however, that the incentive management fee payable in respect of any such year shall not exceed 0.25% of the gross revenues of the hotel included in such calculation. Incentive management fees earned for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022, were $222,958 and $258,538, respectively.
Each OTH Hotel Management Agreement provides for the payment of a termination fee upon the sale of the hotel equal to the lesser of the management fee paid with respect to the prior twelve months or the management fees paid for the number of months prior to the closing date of the hotel sale equal to the number of months remaining on the current term of the management agreement.
Sublease – On December 13, 2019, we entered into a sublease agreement with Our Town pursuant to which Our Town subleases 2,245 square feet of office space from Sotherly for a period of 5 years, with a 5-year renewal subject to approval by Sotherly, on terms and conditions similar to the terms of the prime lease entered into by Sotherly and the third-party owner of the property. Lease payments due to the Company were $284,549 and $184,620, as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Employee Medical Benefits – We purchase employee medical coverage for eligible employees that are employed by Our Town and who work exclusively for our properties and elect to participate in Our Town’s self-insured plan. Gross premiums for employee medical benefits paid by the Company (before offset of employee co-payments) were approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, Our Town's policy is to rebate 70% of our pro rata share of any annual surplus in its self-insured health plan back to the Company and retain the remaining 30%.
Others. We employed Ashley S. Kirkland, the daughter of our Chairman, as Corporate Counsel and Compliance Officer until her departure in January 2022 and continue to employ Robert E. Kirkland IV, her husband, as our General Counsel. We also employ Andrew M. Sims Jr., the son of our Chairman, as Vice President – Operations & Investor Relations. Total compensation for all three individuals, including salary and benefits, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled $186,135 and $132,699, respectively.
9. Retirement Plans
401(k) Plan - We maintain a 401(k) plan for qualified employees which is subject to “safe harbor” provisions. Those provisions include a matching employer contribution consisting of 100.0% of the first 3.0% of employee contributions and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of employee contributions. In addition, all employer matching funds vest immediately. Contributions to the plan totaled $34,009 and $23,139, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan in December 2016, effective January 1, 2016, which is a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company. The Company sponsors and maintains the ESOP and related trust for the benefit of its eligible employees. The ESOP is a leveraged ESOP, meaning funds are loaned to the ESOP from the Company. The Company entered into a loan agreement with the ESOP on December 29, 2016, pursuant to which the ESOP may borrow up to $5.0 million to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market, which serve as collateral for the loan.
27
Between January 3, and February 28, 2017, the Company’s ESOP had purchased 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market at a cost of approximately $4.9 million. Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as contributions are made to the ESOP by the Company. The share allocations will be accounted for at fair value at the date of allocation.
A total of 308,035 shares with a fair value of $614,530 remained allocated or committed to be released from the suspense account, as of March 31, 2023. We recognized as compensation cost $12,195 and $14,154, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The remaining 357,788 unallocated shares have an approximate fair value of $713,787, as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the ESOP held a total of 301,646 allocated shares, 6,389 committed-to-be-released shares and 357,788 suspense shares. Dividends on allocated and unallocated shares are used to pay down the ESOP loan from the Operating Partnership.
The share allocations are accounted for at fair value on the date of allocation as follows:

12. Loss Per Share and Per Unit
Loss per Share. The limited partners’ outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (which may be redeemed for common stock upon notice from the limited partner and following our election to redeem the units for stock rather than cash) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. The shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except upon the occurrence of a change of control, and have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no impact on the current controlling stockholders. The non-committed, unearned ESOP shares are treated as reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares and similarly reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The unallocated ESOP shares have been excluded in the weighted average for the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. The computation of basic net loss per share is presented below:

Share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are now participating securities and included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Our grants of restricted stock awards to our employees and directors are considered participating securities, and we have prepared our earnings per share calculations to include outstanding unvested restricted stock awards in the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation.

Overview
Sotherly Hotels Inc. is a self-managed and self-administered lodging REIT incorporated in Maryland in August 2004 and focused on the acquisition, renovation, up-branding and repositioning of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States. Sotherly may also opportunistically acquire hotels throughout the United States. Substantially all of the assets of Sotherly Hotels Inc. are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Sotherly Hotels LP. We commenced operations in December 2004 when we completed our initial public offering and thereafter consummated the acquisition of the Initial Properties.
Our hotel portfolio currently consists of ten full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels, comprising 2,786 rooms, as well as interests in two condominium hotels and their associated rental programs. The Company owns hotels that operate under well-known brands such as DoubleTree by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and Hyatt Centric, as well as independent hotels. We sometimes refer to our independent and soft-branded properties as our collection of boutique hotels. As of March 31, 2023, our portfolio consisted of the following hotel properties:

We conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, and we own an approximate 95.9% interest in our Operating Partnership, as of the date of this report, with the remaining interest being held by limited partners who were the contributors of our Initial Properties and related assets.
To qualify as a REIT, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership can operate our hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to our MHI TRS Entities, which are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Our MHI TRS Entities then engage eligible independent hotel management companies to operate the hotels under a management
33
agreement. Our MHI TRS Entities have engaged Our Town to manage our hotels. Our MHI TRS Entities, and their parent, MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., are consolidated into each of our financial statements for accounting purposes. The earnings of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc. are subject to taxation similar to other C corporations.
Key Operating Metrics
In the hotel industry, room revenue is considered the most important category of revenue and drives other revenue categories such as food, beverage, catering, parking, and telephone. There are three key performance indicators used in the hotel industry to measure room revenues:
RevPAR changes that are primarily driven by changes in occupancy have different implications for overall revenues and profitability than changes that are driven primarily by changes in ADR. For example, an increase in occupancy at a hotel would lead to additional variable operating costs (such as housekeeping services, laundry, utilities, room supplies, franchise fees, management fees, credit card commissions and reservations expense), but could also result in increased non-room revenue from the hotel’s restaurant, banquet or parking facilities. Changes in RevPAR that are primarily driven by changes in ADR typically have a greater impact on operating margins and profitability as they do not generate all of the additional variable operating costs associated with higher occupancy.
When calculating composite portfolio metrics, we include available rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences that participate in our rental programs and are not reserved for owner-occupancy.
We also use FFO, Adjusted FFO and Hotel EBITDA as measures of our operating performance. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Results of Operations
The following tables illustrate the key operating metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2019, respectively, for the Company’s wholly-owned properties (“actual” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the actual data does not include the participating condominium hotel rooms of the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences. The ten wholly-owned properties in the portfolio that were under the Company’s control during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the corresponding periods in 2022 and 2019 are considered same-store properties (“same-store” portfolio metrics). Accordingly, the same-store data does not reflect the performance of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside which was sold in February 2022, or the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University which was sold in June 2022. The composite portfolio metrics represent the Company’s wholly-owned properties and the participating condominium hotel rooms at the Hyde Resort & Residences and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the corresponding periods in 2022 and 2019. The same-store (composite) portfolio metrics includes all properties with the exceptions of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside, DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Brownstone University and the Hyde Beach House Resort & Residences, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the corresponding periods in 2022 and 2019.
Given the drastic and unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results in 2021 and 2020, we believe that a comparison of our results through the three-month periods ending March 31, 2023, to both the March 31, 2022 and March 31,
34
2019 comparable periods in this overview section, allows for a better understanding of the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the progress of our recovery.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased approximately $5.1 million, or 13.4%, to approximately $43.5 million compared to total revenue of approximately $38.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. There was an aggregate increase in total revenue of approximately $7.9 million from our ten wholly-owned properties, offset by decreases of approximately $0.6 million, at our Hyde Resort & Residences and at our Hyde Beach House & Resort, both in Hollywood Beach, Florida and a decrease of approximately $2.2 million as a result of the disposition of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022. There were increases in leisure, small group and corporate business travel demand in the first quarter 2023 while demand in the same period in 2022 was negatively impacted by the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
Room revenue increased approximately $3.5 million, or 14.3%, to approximately $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to room revenue of approximately $24.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in room revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $5.0 million from ten of our properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.5 million as a result of the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022. The improvement was mainly due to an increase in occupancy from 53.9% to 60.4% coupled with an increase in ADR from $187.23 to $197.07 resulting in an increase in RevPAR from $100.89 to $119.06. These improvements are mainly due to increases in leisure, small group and corporate business travel demand while demand in the same period in the prior year was negatively impacted by the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
Food and beverage revenues increased approximately $3.1 million, or 55.7%, to approximately $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to food and beverage revenues of approximately $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in food and beverage revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $3.4 million from eight of our properties, offset by decreases of approximately $0.2 million, at two of our hotel properties and by the loss of food and beverage revenue of approximately $0.1 million during the quarter following the sale of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022.
Revenue from other operating departments decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 19.5%, to approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to revenue from other operating departments of approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Moderate increases across our portfolio were offset by a decrease of approximately $0.6 million at our Hyde Resort and Residences and Hyde Beach House properties in Hollywood, Florida. Additionally, we received a one-time grant from the state of North Carolina of $1.0 million in the prior year period. The remainder of the decrease was the result of the disposition of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022.
Hotel Operating Expenses. Hotel operating expenses, which consist of room expenses, food and beverage expenses, other direct expenses, indirect expenses and management fees, increased approximately $3.0 million, or 10.7%, to approximately $31.4 million for
35
the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to total hotel operating expenses of approximately $28.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in hotel operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate increase in total hotel operating expenses of approximately $4.6 million, offset by decreases of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the sales of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022. This increase in hotel operating expenses was directly related to the increase in revenue.
Rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased slightly by approximately 7.8%, to approximately $6.4 million, compared to rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of approximately $5.9 million. The increase in rooms expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $0.9 million from ten of our hotel properties, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.4 million mostly as a result of the sales of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022.
Food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased approximately $2.0 million, or 53.0%, to approximately $5.9 million, compared to food and beverage expenses of approximately $3.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net increase in food and beverage expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate increase of approximately $2.1 million, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million as a result of the sales of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022. The increase was directly related to the increase in food and beverage revenue.
Expenses from other operating departments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 slightly decreased approximately $0.2 million or 6.8%, to approximately $2.3 million, compared to other operating departments expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of approximately $2.5 million. The decrease in other operating departments expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate decrease of approximately $0.3 million from seven of our properties, offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million from seven of our properties, including the two disposed properties.
Indirect expenses at our wholly-owned properties for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased approximately $0.7 million, or 4.3%, to approximately $16.8 million, compared to indirect expenses of approximately $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in indirect expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, resulted from an aggregate increase in total indirect expenses of approximately $1.7 million, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million as a result of the disposition of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022.
Corporate General and Administrative. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased approximately $0.5 million, or 30.8%, to approximately $2.0 million compared to corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increased salaries, audit, legal and other professional fees of approximately $0.5 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 28.0%, to approximately $4.1 million, as compared to interest expense of approximately $5.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was substantially related to decreases in the amount of corporate debt especially attributable to the sales of the Sheraton Louisville Riverside in February 2022 and the DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University in June 2022 and the extinguishment of the Secured Notes in June 2022.
Unrealized (Loss)/Gain on Hedging Activities. As of March 31, 2023, the fair market value of our interest rate swap assets are approximately $0.9 million. The unrealized loss on hedging activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately ($0.4) million and was approximately a $1.0 million gain during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the unrealized loss on hedging activities was driven by changes in expectation of short-term rates over the term of the hedging instruments.
Income Taxes. We had an income tax provision of $15,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an income tax provision of $9,654, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. MHI TRS realized operating losses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
36
Net Income (Loss). We realized a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of approximately $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, because of the operating results discussed above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We consider the non-GAAP financial measures of FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders (including FFO per common share and unit), Adjusted FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders, EBITDA and Hotel EBITDA to be key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance and could be considered along with, not alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of the Company’s performance. These measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or amounts available for the Company’s discretionary use and should not be considered alternative measures of net income, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP.
FFO and Adjusted FFO. Industry analysts and investors use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, gains or losses from involuntary conversions of assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization or impairment, stock compensation costs and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself.
We consider FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Although FFO is intended to be a REIT industry standard, other companies may not calculate FFO in the same manner as we do, and investors should not assume that FFO as reported by us is comparable to FFO as reported by other REITs.
We further adjust FFO Available to Common Stockholders and Unitholders for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains on extinguishment of preferred stock, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, management contract termination costs, operating asset depreciation and amortization, change in control gains or losses, ESOP and stock compensation expenses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among other REITs and is more
37
indicative than FFO of the on-going performance of our business and assets. Our calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar measures calculated by other REITs.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Adjusted FFO, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

EBITDA. We believe that excluding the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, and the portion of those items related to unconsolidated entities, all of which are also based on historical cost accounting and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can help eliminate the accounting effects of depreciation and financing decisions and facilitate comparisons of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, even though EBITDA also does not represent an amount that accrued directly to shareholders.
Hotel EBITDA. We define Hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) income tax provision or benefit, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (6) gains and losses on disposal and/or sale of assets, (7) gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (8) unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (9) loss on early debt extinguishment, (10) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) debt forgiveness, (11) gain on exercise of development right, (12) corporate general and administrative expense, and (13) other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and its operators have direct control. We believe Hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the on-going operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies operating our business on a property-level basis.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Hotel EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of cash are cash from hotel operations, proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock, proceeds from the sale of secured and unsecured notes, proceeds of mortgage and other debt and hotel property sales. Our principal uses of cash are acquisitions of hotel properties, capital expenditures, debt service and balloon maturities, operating costs, corporate expenses and dividends. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $23.4 million of unrestricted cash and $8.6 million of restricted cash.
Operating Activities. Our net cash flow provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $10.0 million generally consisting of net cash flow provided by hotel operations. The positive cash flow from operations during the quarter and increase from the prior year was due to the increase in occupancy at our hotels as a result of increases in leisure transient, small group and corporate business travel. Cash used in or provided by operating activities generally consists of the cash flow from hotel operations, offset by the interest portion of our debt service, corporate expenses and positive or negative changes in working capital.
Investing Activities. Our cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $1.1 million. Of this amount approximately $1.5 million was related to capital expenditures for improvements and additions to hotel properties. There were also insurance proceeds related to involuntary conversions of approximately $0.4 million.
Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company and Operating Partnership made principal payments on its mortgages of approximately $1.9 million, payments on its unsecured notes of approximately $0.1 million, payments on deferred financing costs of approximately $0.1 million and paid preferred dividends of approximately $2.0 million.
Capital Expenditures
We intend to maintain all our hotels, including any hotel we acquire in the future, in good repair and condition, in conformity with applicable laws and regulations and, when applicable, with franchisor’s standards. Routine capital improvements are determined through the annual budget process over which we maintain approval rights, and which are implemented or administered by our management company.
From time to time, certain of our hotel properties may undergo renovations as a result of our decision to upgrade portions of the hotel, such as guestrooms, meeting space and restaurants, in order to better compete with other hotels in our markets. In addition, we may be required by one or more of our franchisors to complete a property improvement program (“PIP”) in order to bring the hotel up to the franchisor’s standards. Generally, we expect to fund renovations and improvements out of working capital, including restricted cash, proceeds of mortgage debt or equity offerings.
Historically, we have aimed to maintain overall capital expenditures, except for those required by our franchisors as a condition to a franchise license or license renewal, at 4.0% of gross revenue. In 2020, we postponed all major non-essential capital expenditures. As travel demand returned and occupancy, and RevPAR gradually increased, we increased the level of capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for 2023 to be approximately $7.3 million.
We expect capital expenditures for the recurring replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at our properties will be funded by our replacement reserve accounts, other than costs that we incur to make capital improvements required by our franchisors. Reserve accounts are escrowed accounts with funds deposited monthly and reserved for capital improvements or expenditures with respect to all of our hotels. Except as temporarily provided through loan modifications and forbearance agreements, we deposit an amount equal to 4.0% of gross revenue for The DeSoto, the Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach, the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverside, the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel, The Whitehall and the Georgian Terrace as well as 4.0% of room revenues for the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport on a monthly basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had total cash of approximately $32.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $4.6 million. We expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow from our hotels should be adequate to fund continuing operations, recurring capital expenditures for the refurbishment and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding any balloon payments due upon maturity of our mortgage debt).
On May 4, 2023, we secured a $10.0 million mortgage loan on the DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel hotel with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. Pursuant to the loan documents, the loan has a maturity date of May 6, 2028; carries a fixed rate of interest of 7.35%;
39
required monthly payments of interest only; and cannot be prepaid until the last four months of the loan term. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay the existing first mortgage on the hotel and will use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
As of the date of this report, we were current on all loan payments on all other mortgages per the terms of our mortgage agreements, as amended. We were in compliance with all loan covenants except the Debt Service Coverage Requirement (“DSCR”) covenant under the mortgage secured by the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport. We anticipate receiving a waiver from the lender of the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport. If we are unable to obtain a waiver, we may be required to reduce the outstanding balance with a prepayment of up to approximately $1.6 million per the terms of the loan agreement.
In October 2023, the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport matures. We intend to refinance the mortgage at the level of the existing indebtedness or request an extension at existing terms.
We intend to continue to invest in hotel properties as suitable opportunities arise. The success of our acquisition strategy depends, in part, on our ability to access additional capital through other sources, which we expect to be limited as a result of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There can be no assurance that we will continue to make investments in properties that meet our investment criteria or have access to capital during this period. Additionally, we may choose to dispose of certain hotels as a means to provide liquidity.
Over the long term, we expect to meet our liquidity requirements for hotel property acquisitions, property redevelopment, investments in new joint ventures and debt maturities, and the retirement of maturing mortgage debt, through net proceeds from additional issuances of common shares, additional issuances of preferred shares, issuances of units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, secured and unsecured borrowings, the selective disposition of non-core assets, and cash on hand. We remain committed to a flexible capital structure and strive to maintain prudent debt leverage.
Financial Covenants
Mortgage Loans
Our mortgage loan agreements contain various financial covenants directly related to the financial performance of the collateralized properties. Failure to comply with these financial covenants could result from, among other things, changes in the local competitive environment, disruption caused by renovation activity, major weather disturbances, general economic conditions as well as the effects of the ongoing global pandemic.
As described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, as of March 31, 2023, we failed to meet certain financial covenants under the mortgage secured by the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport. We anticipate receiving a waiver from the lender of the mortgage on the DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport.
Certain of our loan agreements also include financial covenants that trigger a “cash trap” requiring substantially all the revenue generated by the hotel to be deposited directly into a lockbox account and swept into a cash management account for the benefit of the lender until the property meets the criteria in the loan agreement for exiting the “cash trap”.
Dividend Policy
In March 2020, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we announced that the record date for the dividends on the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, originally set for March 31, 2020, with a payment date of April 15, 2020, had been indefinitely deferred. We may not make distributions with respect to any shares of our common stock, unless and until full cumulate distributions on the outstanding preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside.
On January 24, 2023, we announced that we will resume quarterly distributions to holders of our preferred stock and set a record date of February 28, 2023 with a payment date of March 15, 2023 for the preferred distribution declared in January 2020.
On April 24, 2023, we announced the declaration of another quarterly distribution to holders of our preferred stock with a record date of May 31, 2023 and a payment date of June 15, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, the amount of cumulative unpaid dividends on our outstanding preferred shares as approximately $23.9 million. We expect that any reduction in the level of cumulative unpaid distributions will be made in the form of a series of special distributions. The amount, timing and frequency of distributions will be authorized by our board of directors and based upon a variety of factors deemed relevant by the directors. No assurance can be given that the distribution policy will not change in the future.
40
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Inflation
We generate revenues primarily from lease payments from our MHI TRS Entities and net income from the operations of our MHI TRS Entities. Therefore, we rely primarily on the performance of the individual properties and the ability of the management company to increase revenues and to keep pace with inflation. Operators of hotels, in general, possess the ability to adjust room rates daily to keep pace with inflation. However, competitive pressures at some or all of our hotels may limit the ability of the management company to raise room rates.
Our expenses, including hotel operating expenses, administrative expenses, real estate taxes and property and casualty insurance are subject to inflation. These expenses are expected to grow with the general rate of inflation, except for energy, liability insurance, property and casualty insurance, property tax rates, employee benefits, and some wages, which are expected to increase at rates that differ from the general rate of inflation.
Geographic Concentration and Seasonality
Our hotels are located in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse market conditions in these geographic areas, including industry downturns, relocation of businesses, local stay-at-home and business closure orders, and any oversupply of hotel rooms or a reduction in lodging demand. Adverse economic developments in the markets in which we have a concentration of hotels, or in any of the other markets in which we operate, or any increase in hotel supply or decrease in lodging demand resulting from the local, regional or national business climate, could materially and adversely affect us.
The operations of our hotel properties have historically been seasonal. The months of April and May are traditionally strong, as is October. The periods from mid-November through mid-February are traditionally slow with the exception of hotels located in certain markets, namely Florida and Texas, which typically experience significant room demand during this period.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liability at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. It is possible that the actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. It is also possible that actual amounts may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgment on an ongoing basis, based on information that is available to us, our business and industry experience, and various other matters that we believe are reasonable and appropriate for consideration under the circumstances. All of our significant accounting policies, including certain critical accounting policies, are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes in these critical accounting policies or the methods or assumptions we apply.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recently adopted and newly issued accounting pronouncements, please refer to the New Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that could occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. These disclosures are not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only indicators of reasonably possible losses. As a result, actual future results may differ materially from those presented. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates.
To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we will borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. From time to time we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
41
As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $307.9 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237%, mortgage on our Tampa, Florida hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.576%, and the PPP Loan of $2.1 million, with a fixed rate of 1.0% and approximately $14.2 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.84%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in the Prime Rate. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $14.2 million, the balance at March 31, 2023, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in the Prime Rate, would be approximately $0.1 million.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $310.2 million of fixed-rate debt, including the mortgage on our DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport hotel, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.237%, the mortgage on our Hotel Alba Tampa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, which is fixed by an interest rate swap to 5.576% and the PPP Loans of $2.5 million, with a fixed rate of 1.0% and approximately $14.2 million of variable-rate debt. The weighted-average interest rate on the fixed-rate debt was 4.83%. A change in market interest rates on the fixed portion of our debt would impact the fair value of the debt but have no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. Our variable-rate debt is exposed to changes in interest rates, specifically the changes in 1-month LIBOR, SOFR, and in Prime Rate. Assuming that the aggregate amount outstanding on the mortgage on The Whitehall remains at approximately $14.2 million, the balance at December 31, 2022, the impact on our annual interest incurred and cash flows of a one percent increase in 1-month LIBOR, SOFR, and in Prime Rate, would be approximately $0.1 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Sotherly Hotels Inc.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the supervision and participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, its disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Sotherly Hotels Inc. have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.
Sotherly Hotels LP
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Operating Partnership’s management, under the supervision and participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions, and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
42
The Operating Partnership’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Sotherly Hotels Inc., as general partner, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Sotherly Hotels LP have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in Sotherly Hotels LP’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during Sotherly Hotels LP’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Sotherly Hotels LP’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any material legal proceedings, nor to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us. We are involved in routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business most of which is expected to be covered by insurance, and none of which is expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
From time to time, the Operating Partnership issues limited partnership units to the Company, as required by the Partnership Agreement, to mirror the capital structure of the Company to reflect additional issuances by the Company and to preserve equitable ownership ratios.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
Preferred Stock
The Company’s distribution on the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for nine quarterly periods. When distributions on any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Company’s preferred stock shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional directors of the Company, at a special meeting or at the next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of the stockholders until full cumulative distributions for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside. In addition, the Company may not make distributions with respect to any shares of its common stock, unless and until full cumulative distributions on the preferred stock for all past unpaid periods are paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set aside.
As of May 12, 2023, the Company has deferred payment and is in arrears on dividends for the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock for the periods ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023. The relevant distributions were as follows:
The Company has declared dividends in the respective amounts shown above for each of the Series B, Series C, and Series D Preferred Stock, for the distribution period ending June 30, 2020, payable on June 15, 2023. The total arrearage of unpaid cash dividends undeclared on each of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock through May 12, 2023, are $8,784,600, $7,950,470, and $7,196,681, respectively.
