Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 31, 2020, Presentation Technologies, LLC, a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. ("PTI"), and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Loan Parties"), and Comerica Bank, a Texas banking association, amended that certain credit agreement dated as of November 1, 2017, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), and certain of the loan documents delivered under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Amendment").

As a result of the Amendment, the Credit Agreement now contemplates a $3.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Note") and a $20.0 million senior secured term loan (the "Term Note"). The Amendment extended the maturity date of PTI's obligations under the Revolving Note and Term Note to January 1, 2024, with the potential for a further one-year extension at PTI's option subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the absence of defaults, payment of a one-time, permanent principal reduction of the Term Note of not less than $2.5 million, and payment of an extension fee of 0.25% of the sum of: (i) the face amount of the Revolving Note; and (ii) the outstanding amount owed under the Term Note as of the date of PTI's election to extend.

Pursuant to the Amendment, PTI's obligations to comply with certain financial and other covenants in the Credit Agreement were waived, adjusted, paused or eliminated, as described below:

· PTI's failure to comply with the Leverage Ratio covenant for the fiscal

quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 was waived, and the

Leverage Ratio covenant has been eliminated from the Credit Agreement;

· PTI's failures to comply with the Pre-Distribution Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio


   and the Post-Distribution Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter
   ending September 30, 2020 were waived, and those covenants have been eliminated
   from the Credit Agreement. Those covenants were replaced with a covenant,
   commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, that PTI maintain a
   Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0, calculated as of the
   end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarterly periods most recently
   ended; and

· PTI's failure to comply with covenants to make timely payments of principal and

interest on indebtedness under the Credit Agreement for the month ending

December 31, 2020 and to remain solvent to continue to do business as a going

concern were waived, as were any other defaults under the Credit Agreement that

occurred and were directly related to and as a result of any of the foregoing.

In addition, the Amendment confirms that any direct material impact on the financial results and operations of PTI and the other Loan Parties arising from the March 13, 2020 declaration of the national emergency relating to COVID-19 and the federal, state and local measures related thereto, as disclosed to Comerica, will not be deemed to constitute a material adverse effect on the Loan Parties for purposes of the Credit Agreement.

As a result of the Amendment, amounts borrowed under the Revolving Note and the Term Note will bear interest at Comerica's prime rate plus a margin of 1.25%, with the margin increasing by 0.25% beginning on July 1, 2021 and at the beginning of each successive quarter thereafter. PTI will pay a commitment fee of 1.5% of the Term Note in installments, with the possibility that the last $0.1 million installment, scheduled to be paid on December 31, 2022, be forgiven if PTI's obligations under the Credit Agreement have been satisfied in full in advance of that date. The Amendment suspended PTI's amortizing payment obligations under the Term Note through December 2021. Commencing January 1, 2022, PTI will be required to make monthly payments under the Term Note of $0.2 million through June 2022, $0.25 million through December 2022, and $0.3 million thereafter.

The Amendment required PTI to establish an operating reserve account with Comerica in an initial amount equal to $3.0 million, with such amounts to be applied to scheduled interest payments due under the Revolving Note and the Term Note. PTI must replenish such amount quarterly in an amount necessary to service interest expense and projected operating costs for the upcoming quarterly period based on projections delivered by PTI to Comerica as part of an enhanced set of financial reporting requirements established by the Amendment. Funds in the operating reserve account may be released to PTI if it is able to: (i) maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0 for two consecutive fiscal quarters; and (ii) demonstrate average availability under the Revolving Note of at least $1.0 million throughout the three-month period most recently ended. The Amendment also imposed a post-closing obligation on PTI and the other Loan Parties to establish a lockbox and deposit account, exclusively accessed and controlled in each case by Comerica, with amounts deposited into each to be applied daily against amounts owed to Comerica under the Revolving Note.
