Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the specific collateral and security structures for the Hilton Suites Galleria and Wyndham Dallas North properties.
- Review the company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K for context on total debt levels and liquidity, as this 8-K does not provide aggregate balance sheet data.
