Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 16, 2020, J. Robison Hays, III resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Ashford Inc. (the “Company”). As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 30, 2020, Mr. Hays also recently ceased to serve as the Company’s Co-President and Chief Strategy Officer and was instead appointed to serve as Senior Managing Director of the Company. Mr. Hays will continue to serve as the Company’s Senior Managing Director following his Board resignation. These changes were made in order to allow Mr. Hays to focus his attention on his new position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (“Ashford Trust”) and to ensure that his interests are better aligned with those of Ashford Trust’s stockholders. The board resignation was effective June 16, 2020. There are no disagreements between Mr. Hays and the Company in connection with his resignation.
