Al Shams Investments Nominates Five Independent Candidates for Braemar Hotels & Resorts' Board
Al Shams Investments Limited, Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc.'s largest shareholder, has nominated five independent candidates to stand for election at the company's November 2026 annual meeting. The nominees bring extensive experience in real estate, finance, law, and corporate governance across decades of professional careers. The move follows a significant decline—over 90% since Braemar separated from Ashford Hospitality Trust in 2013—and concerns over shareholder value erosion amid high fees paid to the company's external advisor. Al Shams argues that current board governance has not adequately served shareholders and is offering an alternative through these experienced nominees. The proposed candidates include Jennifer Bitterman, Jonathan Klein, Anna Massion, Sir Michael Peat, and Wayne R. Walker—each with notable roles in real estate investment, financial leadership, legal expertise, or royal service.
