Governance Highlights

We are committed to maintaining strong corporate governance practices. Since our listing in 2015, we have implemented corporate governance best practices and improvements as highlighted below and we continue to seek feedback from all stakeholders as we evolve our governance profile.

No poison pill

The Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees include only independent directors

We publish an annual Corporate Responsibility Report available on our website at www.xeniareit.com/corporate-responsibility

Strategy and Our Board

We believe it is important to the success of our Company that our Board review the Company’s strategic framework and direction. Our Board regularly meets with members of the senior management team to consider our current and future strategies to meet our corporate objectives designed to maximize long-term stockholder value. In 2023, our Board met seven times and discussed both short- and long-term strategies.

Investor Outreach

We regularly engage with our investors on a variety of matters, which we believe is a strong corporate governance practice. In 2023 and early 2024, we reached out to, met with or engaged with institutional investors holding over 65% of our common stock as of December 31, 2023, and we continue to engage with additional stockholders on an ongoing basis.

Corporate Responsibility

We are committed to supporting the communities in which our properties are located. We also enable our employees to support the communities in which they live through our charitable organization spotlight program. We encourage our employees to give back to their communities in various ways, including regular team building events that benefit charities and through serving on charitable organization boards. Each year we invite several charitable organizations to visit our Company headquarters in order to share their purpose and needs with our employees. This program highlights altruistic opportunities in which our employees can and do participate. In 2019, we published our first Corporate Responsibility Report and in early 2020 we adopted and published our Enterprise Environmental Policy, Human Rights and Labor Rights Policy, and Supplier/Vendor Code of Conduct. In 2021, we published two updated Corporate Responsibility Reports disclosing key environmental sustainability metrics and other notable items, including our first Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) report to more specifically address climate-related risks to our business. In 2022, we set and published our intensity metric reduction targets for achievement by 2030. Our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report which contains our interim progress towards our intensity metric reduction goals can be found on our website at www.xeniareit.com/corporate-responsibility. Neither our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report nor our TCFD report is incorporated into this proxy statement, nor does either form a part of this proxy statement.

Compensation Highlights

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate experienced and talented executives who can help the Company to maximize stockholder value. We believe that we maintain a competitive compensation program that incorporates strong governance practices.

The Company’s compensation guiding principles are as follows:

ü We pay for performance. We utilize multiple performance measures across various performance periods. In order to earn any of the outstanding performance-based equity awards that are measured by absolute total stockholder return ("TSR"), we must achieve at least a six percent annualized total stockholder return.

ü We balance short-term and long-term incentives. Annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards comprise a significant portion of our named executive officers' ("NEOs") overall target compensation.

ü We align our NEOs' compensation with stockholders' interests. Our NEOs' compensation aligns with stockholders' interests, which means the granting of performance-based equity awards that are tied to total stockholder return on both a relative and absolute basis.

ü We maintain a clawback policy. Our clawback policy allows for the recovery of amounts inappropriately paid in the event of a restatement of our financial statements.

ü Payments pursuant to our NEOs' severance agreements are subject to a "double trigger." Any change in control cash payments pursuant to severance agreements with our NEO's are subject to a "double trigger."

ü We do not have tax gross-ups. We do not provide tax gross-ups on any severance, change-in-control or other payments.

As a result of our rigorous pay for performance program, the Company received a say-on-pay approval rate of over 97% for the 2022 compensation program, consistent with an average say-on-pay approval rate of 96% for all other years, excluding the 2020 program.

2023 Performance Highlights

In 2023, the Company continued to place a significant focus on maximizing hotel revenue growth and controlling expenses while also returning value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends and investing in portfolio improvements. During 2023, our hotel occupancy increased to 65.1% from 62.9% in 2022 and our average daily rate ("ADR") increased 0.6% to $260.40. The combined growth in occupancy and ADR resulted in an increase in revenue per available room ("RevPAR") of 4.1% to $169.46 during 2023. Hotel operating income decreased 1.1% from $325.3 million in 2022 to $321.7 million in 2023 due in part to higher labor and benefits costs at our hotels.

We also continued to focus on maximizing liquidity and balance sheet flexibility to remain in a position to capitalize on future opportunities. In January 2023, we entered into a new $675 million senior unsecured credit facility and amended an existing mortgage loan. Proceeds from these loans were used to repay an existing $125 million corporate credit facility term loan and a $95 million mortgage loan. As a result of these actions, the Company does not have any debt maturities until August 2025. Further, we balanced capital allocation priorities by returning over $177 million to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $164.7 million in cash and full availability on our $450 million revolving credit facility resulting in total liquidity of approximately $615 million. Additionally, we held $58.4 million of restricted cash and escrows primarily set aside to maintain our hotels.

During the year, we invested $120.9 million in portfolio improvements, completing several important capital projects, including comprehensive renovations at Kimpton Canary Hotel Santa Barbara, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Salt Lake City and Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando and made substantial progress on our largest and most impactful renovation project, the transformative renovation and upbranding of Hyatt Regency Scottsdale.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held on May 14, 2024

The board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation (referred to herein as “Xenia,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”), solicits your proxy to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, beginning at 8:00 a.m., local time, at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, One Grand Cypress Blvd, Orlando, Florida 32836, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are primarily furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders via the internet, rather than mailing paper copies of the materials. Internet distribution of the proxy materials is designed to expedite receipt by stockholders, lower costs and reduce the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting.

This proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and the Annual Report

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are available free of charge at www.proxyvote.com.

Beginning on or about April 1, 2024, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders as of the close of business on March 21, 2024, which contained instructions on how to access and review proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and how to submit proxies or voting instructions via the internet. On or about April 1, 2024, we also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to certain stockholders, including those who previously requested a paper copy of the proxy materials.

ARTICLE I: PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

1. Q: Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of the proxy materials?

A: The Board of Directors is delivering or providing access to proxy materials to its stockholders in connection with its solicitation of proxies to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. The SEC has adopted rules permitting the electronic delivery of proxy materials. In accordance with those rules, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials, which include this proxy statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 at www.proxyvote.com. We sent the Notice to our stockholders as of the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date, directing them to a website where they can access the proxy materials and view instructions on how to authorize proxies to vote their shares over the internet or by telephone. Stockholders who previously indicated a preference for paper copies of our proxy materials received paper copies. If you received a Notice but would like to request paper copies of our proxy materials going forward, you may still do so by following the instructions described in the Notice.

Choosing to receive your proxy materials over the internet will help conserve natural resources and reduce the costs associated with the printing and mailing of the proxy materials to you. Unless you affirmatively elect to receive paper copies of our proxy materials in the future by following the instructions included in the Notice, you will continue to receive a Notice directing you to a website for electronic access to our proxy materials.

2. Q: When and where is the Annual Meeting?

A: The Annual Meeting will be held at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, One Grand Cypress Blvd, Orlando, Florida 32836 on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 at 8:00 a.m., local time.

3. Q: What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

A: At our Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote upon the matters outlined in this proxy statement and in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders included with this proxy statement: the election of directors, the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive officers (“say-on-pay”), the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and the transaction of any other business as properly may come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

4. Q: How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

A: Only stockholders of record and beneficial owners of Xenia common stock as of the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date, or their duly authorized proxies, will be entitled to attend the Annual Meeting. To gain admittance, stockholders (or their proxies) must first obtain an admission ticket by registering no later than Friday, May 10, 2024. To register, follow the instructions provided in "Article X: Attending the Annual Meeting" of this proxy statement. You must bring your admission ticket and a valid, government-issued photo identification (such as a valid driver’s license or passport) in order to gain access to the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Xenia common stock (as described in Question 6 below), you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your broker or other nominee in order to vote at the Annual Meeting (as described in Question 7 below).

For directions to the meeting location, please contact us at 407-246-8100.

Stockholders may be required to enter through a security check point before being granted access to the meeting. No cameras, recording devices, other electronic devices or large packages will be permitted at the Annual Meeting. Photographs and videos taken at the Annual Meeting by or at the request of Xenia may be used by Xenia, and by attending the Annual Meeting, you waive any claim or rights with respect to those photographs and their use.

5. Q: What should I do if I receive more than one Notice or set of proxy materials?

A: You may receive more than one Notice or set of proxy materials. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, or if you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one Notice or set of proxy materials. Please be sure to submit your proxy or voting instructions for each account in which you hold shares.

6. Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a record holder versus a beneficial owner?

A: Many Xenia stockholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. There are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially:

Record Holders: If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record or record holder. As the stockholder of record as of the record date, you have the right to authorize a proxy to vote your shares or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners: If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice (or in some cases as described above, a full set of proxy materials) is being forwarded to you automatically, along with instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Your broker, bank or other nominee has provided voting instructions for you to use in directing how to vote your shares. If you do not provide specific voting instructions by the deadline set forth in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee can vote your shares with respect to discretionary items but not with respect to non-discretionary items. See Question 10 below for more information about broker non-votes.

7. Q: Who can vote and how do I vote?

A: Only stockholders as of the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please authorize a proxy to vote your shares as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

If you are a record holder, you may submit your proxy via the internet or by telephone, which will ensure your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may submit your proxy on the internet or by telephone, or you may submit your proxy by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card/voting instruction form. If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may revoke your proxy by voting in person, and any previous votes that you submitted will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting is not sufficient in and of itself to revoke your proxy.

Beneficial owners may submit voting instructions by telephone or internet if their bank, broker or other nominee makes those methods available, in which case the bank, broker or other nominee will provide instructions for doing so. Beneficial owners who wish to vote at the Annual Meeting must first obtain a legal proxy from their broker, bank or other nominee, giving the beneficial owner the right to vote the shares at the meeting and present such legal proxy at the Annual Meeting.

To attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, all stockholders must also register by Friday, May 10, 2024, as described in "Article X: Attending the Annual Meeting" of this proxy statement.

For further instructions on voting, see the Notice or proxy card. If you authorize a proxy or submit voting instructions by telephone, via the internet or by returning your proxy card/voting instructions, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions.

8. Q: What are my voting choices and how many votes are required for approval or election?

A: In the vote on the election of director nominees identified in this proxy statement to serve until the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualify, stockholders may (1) vote for specific nominees; (2) vote against specific nominees; or (3) abstain from voting for any specific nominees. Under our bylaws, to be elected in an uncontested election, director nominees must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of shares voted for a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted against that nominee. Shares of common stock not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be counted as a vote cast for or against a nominee’s election and will have no effect on the result of the vote. If an incumbent director were to fail to be re-elected by a majority of votes cast, that director would be required under our Corporate Governance Guidelines to offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action is recommended. The Board is required to act on

the offer to resign within 90 days after the election results are certified and promptly and publicly disclose its decision and rationale. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.

In the say-on-pay advisory vote, stockholders may (1) vote to approve the resolution; (2) vote against the resolution; or (3) abstain from voting on the resolution. The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the non-binding advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive officers. For purposes of this vote, shares of common stock not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be counted as a vote cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Although the advisory vote on Proposal 2 is non-binding, as provided by law, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will review the results of the vote and will take it into account in making future determinations concerning executive compensation. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

In the vote on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as Xenia’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024, stockholders may (1) vote for the ratification; (2) vote against the ratification; or (3) abstain from voting on the ratification. Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting; however, stockholder ratification is not required to authorize the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. For purposes of this vote, shares of common stock not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be counted as a vote cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

9. Q: What is the effect of an “abstain” vote on the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

A: Because a majority of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to elect a director, an “abstain” vote will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Because an “abstain” vote is not considered a vote “cast” and the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required for the stockholders to approve the say-on-pay advisory vote and the ratification of KPMG LLP as Xenia's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2024. An “abstain” vote will not have any impact on the outcome of those proposals. Both abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

10. Q: What is the effect of a “broker non-vote” on the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

A: A “broker non-vote” will occur with respect to any proposal that is a non-discretionary item if you are the beneficial owner of shares held by a broker or other custodian and you do not provide the broker or custodian with voting instructions with respect to such proposal. This is because under applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a broker or custodian may not vote on these matters without instruction from the underlying beneficial owner. Because the ratification of auditors is considered a discretionary item for which a broker or other custodian may vote shares that are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee and which are not voted by the applicable beneficial owners, we do not expect to receive any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. Except for the ratification of auditors, all of the proposals described in this proxy statement are non-discretionary items. A "broker non-vote" is not considered a vote "cast" and will not have any effect on the outcome of the election of directors, the say-on-pay advisory vote and the ratification of KPMG LLP as Xenia's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

11. Q: Who counts the votes?

A: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will count the votes. The Board of Directors has appointed Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., or an authorized third-party engaged by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., to serve as the inspector of elections.

12. Q: Revocation of proxy: May I change my vote after I return my proxy?

A: Yes, you may revoke your proxy if you are a record holder by filing written notice of revocation with Xenia’s corporate secretary at our principal executive offices at 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801 by submitting a later dated proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you need to contact the record holder of your shares regarding how to revoke your proxy.

13. Q: What if I submit a proxy but do not specify a choice for a matter?

A: Unless you indicate otherwise, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares FOR all of the nominees for director named in this proxy statement, FOR the say-on-pay proposal and FOR the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

14. Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: Presence at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum, permitting the Annual Meeting to proceed and business to be conducted. Proxies received with matters marked with abstentions, or that contain broker non-votes, will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

15. Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

A: We will publish final results on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

16. Q: Who will pay the costs of soliciting these proxies?

A: We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including costs incurred in connection with preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the Notice, this proxy statement and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Xenia common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of Xenia common stock for their reasonable costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by electronic means, mail, facsimile, telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other employees. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors, officers or other employees for such services.

We have hired Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a base fee of $8,250, plus additional amounts, which will vary depending upon the extent of services actually performed by Georgeson Inc., plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

17. Q: What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

A: Other than the three proposals described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other properly submitted business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Marcel Verbaas and Barry A.N. Bloom, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If any of our nominees for director are unavailable, or are unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board of Directors.

18. Q: How many shares of common stock are outstanding? How many votes do I have?

A: As of the close of business on March 21, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 101,963,677 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Xenia common stock held as of the record date.

19. Q: What is the deadline under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for stockholders to propose actions to be included in our proxy statement relating to our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and identified in our form of proxy relating to the 2025 annual meeting?

A: The deadline for stockholders to submit proposals to be included in our proxy statement and identified in our form of proxy under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is December 2, 2024. Proposals by stockholders must comply with all requirements of applicable rules of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, and be mailed to our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices at 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with Rule 14a-8 and other applicable requirements.

20. Q: What is the deadline under our current bylaws for stockholders to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors or propose other matters to be considered at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders?

A: Our proxy access bylaw permits an eligible stockholder (or group of up to 20 stockholders) owning 3% or more of our outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the Company’s proxy materials director candidates constituting the greater of two director nominees or director nominees constituting up to 20% of the total number of directors then serving on the Board of Directors, if the nominating stockholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the bylaws.

Stockholders who wish to nominate persons for election to our Board of Directors or propose other matters to be considered at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders must provide us advance notice of the director nomination or stockholder proposal, as well as the information specified in our current bylaws, no earlier than November 2, 2024 and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 2, 2024. Stockholders are advised to review our bylaws, which contain the requirements for advance notice of director nominations and stockholder proposals. Notice of director nominations and stockholder proposals must be mailed to our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices at 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801. The requirements for advance notice of stockholder proposals under our bylaws do not apply to proposals properly submitted under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, as those stockholder proposals are governed by Rule 14a-8.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any director nomination or stockholder proposal that does not comply with our bylaws and other applicable requirements.

21. Q: How do I submit a potential director nominee for consideration by the Board of Directors for nomination?

A: You may submit names of potential director nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination by our Board of Directors at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. Your submission should be mailed to our corporate secretary at our principal executive offices at 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801. See "Article II: Corporate Governance — Board Committees — Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee” for information on the nomination process used by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our Board of Directors. The deadline has passed to submit a potential director nominee to be considered for nomination by our Board of Directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting. The deadline to submit a potential director nominee for consideration by our Board of Directors for nomination at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 2, 2024.

The Company intends to file a proxy statement and a WHITE proxy card with the SEC in connection with its solicitation of proxies for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director if elected. If any of the nominees should be unavailable to serve for any reason, the Board of Directors may designate a substitute nominee or substitute nominees (in which event proxy holders will vote for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees). Alternatively, the Board of Directors may reduce the size of the Board of Directors or allow the vacancy or vacancies to remain open until a suitable candidate or candidates are identified by the Board of Directors.

Corporate Governance Profile and Board Leadership Structure

We have structured our corporate governance in a manner we believe closely aligns our interests with those of our stockholders. Notable features of our corporate governance structure include the following:

•our Board of Directors is not classified, so each of our directors is subject to election annually;

•director elections are subject to a majority voting standard;

•any director nominee who receives more votes "against" than votes "for" must submit his or her written resignation offer to the Board;

•of the eight persons standing for re-election to our Board, our Board has determined that seven, or 87.5%, satisfy the listing standards for independence of the NYSE;

•our Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC;

•all members of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees of the Board are independent of the Company and our officers and employees;

•we have opted out of the business combination provisions (provided that the business combination has been approved by the Board) and control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL;

•we have opted out of all provisions of the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act (“MUTA”);

•we have adopted a proxy access right for stockholders;

•stockholders have the right to amend our bylaws; and

•we do not have a stockholder rights plan.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors shall select its chair and the Company’s chief executive officer in any way it considers to be in the best interests of the Company. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy on whether the role of the chair and chief executive officer should be separate or combined. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee review this structure each year and has determined that it is in our best interest not to separate these positions. Mr. Verbaas, our Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Chair of the Board and assumed the role effective November 2017. Mr. Verbaas possesses a detailed knowledge of our industry, as well as an understanding of both the opportunities and challenges we face. The Board thus believes that Mr. Verbaas is best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most important matters facing the Company. The Board also believes that Mr. Verbaas’ combined role ensures clear accountability, enhances our ability to articulate our strategy and message to our employees, stockholders and business partners and enables decisive overall leadership.

To promote the independence of the Board and appropriate oversight of management and to demonstrate our commitment to strong corporate governance, the independent directors have designated an independent, non-employee director to serve as our Lead Director. The Lead Director helps to facilitate free and open discussion and communication among the independent, non-employee directors. While we do not have a formal attendance policy regarding the Lead Director's attendance at all committee meetings, our Lead Director makes every effort to attend each committee meeting. We believe that regular meetings of independent directors, without management present, and permitting all directors to add items to the agenda of meetings of the Board and its committees mitigates the risk that having our Chief Executive Officer serve as our Chair may cause management to have undue influence on the Board. The responsibilities of the Lead Director are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Mr. Oklak was appointed Lead Director and assumed the role effective May 2021. The Board believes this current leadership structure best serves the objectives of the Board’s oversight of management, the Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of the stockholders and the Company’s overall corporate governance. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will periodically review the leadership structure to determine whether it continues to best serve the Company and its stockholders.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our Board of Directors held seven meetings (and took action four times by unanimous written consent). The Audit Committee held five meetings, the Compensation Committee held five meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five meetings and the Executive Committee did not meet. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which such director served that were held during the period the director served in 2023. Additionally, all directors in the aggregate attended over 99% of the total Board and committee meetings held in 2023 and all directors elected or appointed at the time attended our 2023 annual meeting of the stockholders.

Our non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions of the Board and each committee without the presence of any members of management, with our Lead Director or the chair of the respective committee presiding over such sessions. Our directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, meetings of the committees of which they are members and any meeting of stockholders.

Director Retirement Policy

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines include a director retirement policy, which requires any director upon attaining the age of seventy-five (75), and annually thereafter, to tender a letter of proposed retirement from the Board to the chair of the Board with such effective date of retirement to be at the first annual meeting of the stockholders held thereafter. The Board shall review the director’s continuation on the Board, and in light of all the circumstances, the Board shall accept such proposed retirement or request that the director continue to serve. A majority of the disinterested directors on the Board shall determine the acceptance of the proposed retirement or election to request that the director continue to serve.

Stockholder Engagement and Investor Outreach Program

Our Board is deeply engaged in the Company's strategic direction and performance. To that end, building and maintaining long-term relationships with our stockholders is a core goal of the Company and there is no higher priority than earning and keeping the trust of our stockholders as we build value for the long-term. Additionally, both management and the Board believe that engaging with our stockholders is a year-round priority. Furthermore, both management and the Board are committed to both proactive and reactive engagement; and we are determined to solicit feedback from our stockholders while also listening to any suggestions they might have to strengthen the long-term prospects of the Company. Thus, the Company regularly contacts representatives of large stockholders to

conduct calls, meetings or property tours. In doing so, we provide a forum for discussions regarding the long-term strategy of value creation and feedback they might offer the Company. As a result, in 2023 and early 2024, the Company reached out to, met with or engaged with institutional investors holding over 65% of our common stock as of December 31, 2023, and we continue to engage with additional stockholders on an ongoing basis. These and other meetings have proved invaluable as a way to promote two-way dialogue with our stockholders regarding the Company's strategic vision for value creation; confirming the value of our stockholder-friendly governance structures and potential enhancements to our board composition and governance, our executive compensation program and alignment with a pay for performance model, our approach to sustainability, environmental and social responsibility matters and providing the Company with the opportunity to be responsive to stockholder feedback. The Board and management will continue this dialogue with our stockholders throughout the year and beyond.

Corporate Governance Developments

As a result of the Company’s ongoing annual stockholder engagement and investor outreach program described above and in furtherance of our goal to closely align our corporate governance structure with the interests of our stockholders, the Company has made a number of stockholder-friendly revisions to the Company’s corporate governance profile over time. These enhancements are outlined below.

MUTA Opt-Out

Opt-out of all Provisions of Maryland’s Unsolicited Takeovers Act

In 2017, our Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to opt out of all of the provisions of MUTA. To effect that decision, in 2017 we filed articles supplementary to our charter with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland and at the 2018 annual meeting of the stockholders we submitted for stockholder approval another amendment to our charter to eliminate our specific election to be subject to Section 3-804(c) of the MGCL. The 2018 charter amendment proposal received the requisite stockholder approval at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, and we amended our charter and bylaws to complete our full opt-out of MUTA. We are not permitted to opt back into any provisions of MUTA without the approval of our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast on the matter by stockholders of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company.

November 2018

In November 2018, after extensive discussions in 2017 and 2018 with the Company’s institutional stockholders holding over 30% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (approximately 40% of all institutional holders), the Board adopted the following significant stockholder-friendly revisions to the Company’s corporate governance profile.

Stockholder Right to Proxy Access

We granted our stockholders a right to submit nominations for directors for inclusion in our proxy statement if both the stockholder proponents and their director nominees satisfy the requirements specified in our Company’s bylaws (our “bylaws”). This right is commonly known as “proxy access.” We adopted the “3/3/20/2 or 20” model for proxy access. A stockholder (or a group of up to 20 stockholders) owning at least 3% (including at least 0.1% by each group member) of the outstanding common stock for at least three years may submit director nominees (the greater of (i) two director nominees or (ii) up to 20% of the Board, rounded down) for inclusion in our proxy statement by satisfying the requirements specified in our bylaws. The Board believes the ownership thresholds outlined above enable stockholders that hold a meaningful stake in the Company for several years to propose director nominees to be included in the Company’s proxy materials.

Majority Voting Standard - Director Resignation Policy

We amended our bylaws to provide that in an uncontested election, each director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the total votes cast for and against such director nominee. In a contested election, each director nominee shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast. In connection with such bylaw amendment, the Board also amended its Corporate Governance Guidelines to establish procedures pursuant to which any director who is nominated for re-election to the Board but not elected by a majority of votes cast for and against such director shall offer his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the offer to resign, and the Board will make a decision within 90 days and report the decision via a press release or a filing with the SEC. Such amended Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found on the Investor Relations pages of the Company’s website.

Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws

In November 2018, we granted our stockholders a right to propose amendments to adopt, alter or repeal our bylaws, or to make new bylaws. In doing so, we adopted a “1/1/5” model for bylaws amendments. A stockholder (or a group of up to 5 stockholders) owning at least 1% (0.1% for each group member) of the outstanding common stock for at least one year could propose amendments to adopt,

alter or repeal our bylaws, or to make new bylaws, by satisfying the requirements specified in our bylaws. A stockholder proposal submitted under the 2018 amendment to our bylaws could not, without the approval of the Board, alter or repeal, (i) Article XII of the bylaws regarding indemnification of directors and officers of the Company or (ii) Article XV of the bylaws regarding the procedures for amendment of the bylaws.

February 2020

Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws

In February 2020, our Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to amend our bylaws to grant stockholders who satisfy the ownership requirements of Rule14(a)(8) of the Exchange Act the right to propose amendments to adopt, alter or repeal our bylaws, or to make new bylaws. Furthermore, the Board removed the Board’s exclusive right to approve amendments to Articles XII and XV of the bylaws. To amend the bylaws, the proposal must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock pursuant to a binding proposal properly submitted to the stockholders for approval at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and non-employee directors to align the financial interests of our executive officers and non-employee directors with those of our stockholders. Pursuant to our guidelines, our executive officers and non-employee directors shall hold shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to or greater than the multiple of his or her base salary or annual base retainer, as applicable, as shown in the following table.


Executive Officers/Non-Employee Directors						Multiple of Base Salary/Annual Base Retainer
Chief Executive Officer						5X
Other Executive Officers						3X
Non-Employee Directors						5X

Shares of our common stock owned directly by our executive officers and non-employee directors, including restricted shares and shares deliverable upon settlement of restricted stock units, other than those restricted shares or restricted stock units that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions, and LTIP Units (as defined in “Article II: Corporate Governance — Compensation of Directors — Equity Compensation” and “Article IV: Executive Compensation — Elements of Executive Compensation Program — Equity Compensation”) of XHR LP, our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), other than those LTIP Units that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions, count toward the executive officers’ and non-employee directors’ stock ownership goals. Shares owned indirectly will count toward an executive officer’s and non-employee director’s stock ownership goal if the executive officer or non-employee director has an economic interest in the shares. All executive officers and non-employee directors have five years after first becoming subject to the guidelines to attain the applicable ownership threshold. If an executive officer or non-employee director becomes subject to a greater ownership threshold, due to a promotion or an increase in his or her base salary or annual base retainer, as applicable, the executive officer or non-employee director is expected to meet the higher ownership threshold within three years. At the time of filing this proxy, all of our named executive officers and non-employee directors subject to the guidelines were in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines or are expected to meet the guidelines within the applicable time period.

During any time period in which an executive officer’s or non-employee director’s stock ownership goal has not been achieved, including during the five-year period to attain compliance with the ownership guidelines, the executive officer or non-employee director will be required to retain at least 75% of the “net shares” delivered through our equity incentive compensation plans. “Net shares” include shares of our common stock or units of our Operating Partnership and include those shares that are owned by the executive officer or non-employee director after shares are sold, swapped or traded to pay applicable withholding taxes. If the executive officer’s or non-employee director’s stock ownership goal is not attained by the end of the five-year period, the retention requirement shall be increased to 100%. Once an executive officer or non-employee director achieves his or her stock ownership goal, the retention restrictions no longer apply unless a disposition would cause the executive officer’s or non-employee director’s stock ownership to fall below his or her goal. In the event that there is a significant decline in our stock price that causes an executive officer’s or non-employee director’s holdings to fall below the applicable threshold, the executive officer or non-employee director will not be required to purchase additional shares to meet the threshold, but the executive officer or non-employee director shall not be permitted to sell or transfer any shares until the threshold has again been achieved.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

The Board has adopted an insider trading policy that contains restrictions on hedging and pledging securities issued by us or our Operating Partnership. With respect to hedging, directors, named executive officers, executive officers and employees are prohibited from engaging in any hedging transactions involving any securities issued by us or our Operating Partnership, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, or other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the equity securities. With respect to pledging, directors, named executive officers, executive officers and employees are prohibited from holding securities issued by us or our Operating Partnership in a margin account or pledging these securities as collateral for a loan.

Clawback Policy

In light of rules recently issued by the SEC regarding clawback policies, we adopted a revised mandatory compensation recovery policy in 2023 which complies with SEC rules and the NYSE’s listing standards (the "clawback policy"). Our revised clawback policy provides that we shall recover from current or former executive officers excess incentive-based compensation (i.e., incentive compensation that is granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the attainment of one or more financial reporting measures) in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, unless the Compensation Committee determines that recovery would be impracticable. The full text of our revised clawback policy can be found as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Corporate Responsibility

Many of our hotels and resorts participate in a variety of environmental sustainability initiatives, such as energy monitoring and preservation, water conservation and waste reduction, mobile key implementation, and recycling. Our comprehensive energy-efficiency program is aimed not only at making our hotels and resorts more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly, but also at enhancing the profitability of our hotels and resorts and appealing to those customers who desire these aspects. Among these energy-efficiency programs are the use of solar energy to heat pools, retro-fitting incandescent lighting systems with new LED fixtures, installing guestroom “smart” thermostats that adjust room conditions based upon occupancy status, making central plant efficiency upgrades, installing low-flow toilet systems and recycling laundry water. Additionally, many of our hotels and resorts participate in the Clean the World program; a well-respected and highly recognized hospitality organization that sterilizes, recycles and remanufactures unused soap and bottled hygiene products, reducing the waste into landfills and providing aid worldwide. In 2019, we published our first Corporate Responsibility Report and in early 2020 we adopted and published our Enterprise Environmental Policy, Human Rights and Labor Rights Policy, and Supplier/Vendor Code of Conduct. In 2021, we published two Corporate Responsibility Reports disclosing additional key environmental sustainability metrics and other notable items, including our first Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) report to more specifically address climate-related risks to our business. In 2022, we set and published our intensity metric reduction targets for achievement by 2030. Our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report which contains our interim progress towards our intensity metric reduction goals can be found on our website at www.xeniareit.com/corporate-responsibility. Neither our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report nor our TCFD is incorporated into this proxy, nor does either form a part of this proxy.

We are committed to the appropriate expansion of these practices as we continue to seek new environmental innovations and practices to implement across our portfolio. Our various hotel brands and operators are also aligned with us in their desire to advance environmental programs and practices. Together we are committed to improving energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of our hotels and resorts.

Corporate Citizenship, Community Impact and Diversity and Inclusion

The Company takes seriously its responsibility to invest in and strengthen the communities in which our properties are located and believes in giving back. In addition to supporting our operators in the communities in which our hotels and resorts are located, we have made a significant effort to embrace and support local charitable organizations in the Central Florida area, where our corporate office is located. Since our listing on the NYSE, at our employees’ request, we have invited over 30 different charitable organizations to visit our office and meet our employees. This has helped our employees volunteer and directly contribute to worthy causes within our local community.

As of December 31, 2023, 33% of our corporate workforce identified as women and 40% as underrepresented ethnic and racial groups. We are very proud of our diverse workforce and believe that having such a diverse mix consisting of representation from numerous racial and ethnic backgrounds brings a unique perspective and enhances the way we work together as a team. We are committed to upholding an inclusive work culture that recognizes and celebrates our diversity.

Board Refreshment

Our Board of Directors is committed to active board refreshment to ensure optimal board structure, composition, and diversity. To

meet this goal, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee focuses on obtaining a desired mix of skills, experience,

perspective and diversity relevant to the Company’s overall strategies. In 2021, the Board appointed Mr. Moorehead to the Board of Directors and in 2022 the Board appointed Ms. Isaacs-Lowe. The appointments of Mr. Moorehead and Ms. Isaacs-Lowe were based on a robust search process utilizing the assistance of a search firm and the Board believes that both Mr. Moorehead and Ms. Isaacs-Lowe possess the desired skill sets and diversity traits that can best serve the Company and enhance the overall composition of the Board.

Director Onboarding and Continuing Education

As new directors join our Board, each new director participates in a robust onboarding process facilitated by senior management team members including education on our industry, our operating partners and other important stakeholders, Company history, values and our strategic mission. The onboarding programs are designed to familiarize new directors with the Company’s business, strategies and challenges and to assist new directors in developing and maintaining skills necessary or appropriate for the performance of their responsibilities. On an ongoing basis, management coordinates and prepares additional educational sessions for directors on matters relevant to the Company and its business, including presentations by industry experts and other relevant interactive sessions.

Succession Planning

Our Board of Directors, along with input from our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, regularly reviews succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and key employees to cover emergency and other possible occurrences resulting in a vacancy in the position of Chief Executive Officer or other key management positions. In addition to succession planning for management positions, the Board, with input from our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, also administers our Board refreshment process and director succession planning.

Role of our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is informed oversight of our risk management process as well as strategic risks to the Company. At least annually, the Company’s executive officers who are responsible for the Company’s day-to-day risk management practices present to the Board a comprehensive report on the material risks to the Company, including cyber-risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, environmental and social risk and operational risk. At that time, the management team also reviews with the Board the Company’s risk mitigation policies and strategies specific to each risk that is identified. Throughout the year, management monitors the Company’s risk profile and updates the standing committees and the Board as new material risks are identified or as the aspects of a risk previously presented to the Board materially change. Our Board administers this oversight function directly, with support from its standing committees, each of which addresses risks within its respective areas of oversight. In particular and as more fully described below, our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and, management of cyber-related risks in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provides oversight with respect to corporate governance and oversight of ethical conduct and monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance and environmental and sustainability programs. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks related to the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee. The principal functions of each committee are briefly described below. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee comply with the applicable listing requirements and other rules and regulations of the NYSE, as amended or modified from time to time, with respect to each of these committees and each of these committees is comprised exclusively of independent directors.

Additionally, our Board may from time to time establish other committees or sub-committees to facilitate the Board’s oversight of management of the business and affairs of our company.

Audit Committee

Ms. Goulet, Ms. Isaacs-Lowe, Ms. McCormick and Mr. Moorehead are the current members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with Ms. Goulet serving as Chair. Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the

Exchange Act. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE, Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the applicable SEC regulations. Our Board has determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is “financially literate” as that term is defined by the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. The Audit Committee has oversight responsibilities regarding:

•the integrity of our financial statements;

Messrs. Gartland, Bass, and Moorehead are the current members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with Mr. Gartland serving as Chair. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee is independent, as defined by the rules of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

•annually reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and, based upon this evaluation, setting our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation;

•reviewing and setting the compensation of our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer;

•reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding director compensation;

The Compensation Committee has retained Ferguson Partners Consulting, L.P., formerly known as FPL Associates L.P. (“FPC”) to serve as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant since our listing on the NYSE on February 4, 2015. FPC was engaged to assist the Compensation Committee with a variety of tasks, which for 2023 included, among other things, developing our public peer group, analyzing pay by both magnitude and structure across our peer group, evaluating our compensation

programs for both executives and non-employee directors, providing market trends and information on best practices, and assisting with the design of our pay systems, which includes a long-term incentive program for our executives. FPC does not provide additional services to the Company other than those described herein. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of FPC, including consideration of the independence factors specified in the NYSE listing standards, and concluded that no conflict of interest existed in 2023 that would prevent FPC from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee retains its authority over, and is responsible for, all compensation decisions.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee, which is available on our website at www.xeniareit.com under the headings “Investor Relations — Corporate Overview — Corporate Governance — Compensation Committee Charter.”

Selection of Director Nominees

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending to the Board of Directors those candidates to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider relevant experience, skills and knowledge as well as minimum individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, industry knowledge or experience, and an ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a set policy for considering or weighing diversity in identifying nominees, however it will consider all factors it considers appropriate, which may include age, gender, ethnic and racial background, existing commitments to other businesses, other board service, potential conflicts of interest with other pursuits, legal considerations, corporate governance background, financial and accounting background, executive compensation background and the size, composition and combined expertise of the existing Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and our full Board of Directors continue to appropriately consider the racial and ethnic diversity of our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will screen all potential candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The review is expected to be based on any written materials provided with respect to potential candidates, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the materials to determine the qualifications, experience and background of the candidates. Final candidates are expected to be interviewed by the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may retain a search firm to assist with identifying and recruiting director candidates for our Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates properly recommended by stockholders for our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

Executive Summary

2023 Company Performance Achievements

Our total portfolio RevPAR, which includes the results of hotels sold or acquired for the period of ownership by the Company, increased 4.1% to $169.46 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $162.75 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in our total portfolio RevPAR for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was driven by increases in both occupancy and ADR as well as both business transient and group demand and robust leisure transient demand in the first quarter.

Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased 65.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared 2022. Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted FFO attributable to common stock and unit holders decreased 2.0% and 4.0%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2022.

The Company completed the following significant events during the year ended December 31, 2023:

•Entered into a new $675 million senior unsecured credit facility comprised of a $450 million revolving line of credit, a $125 million term loan a $100 million delayed draw term loan and used the proceeds to pay off the $125 million corporate credit facility term loan as well as the $99.5 million outstanding mortgage loan collateralized by Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel & Convention Center.

•Amended the mortgage loan collateralized by Andaz Napa to update the variable index from one-month LIBOR to Term SOFR, increase the credit spread, increase the principal amount to $55 million and extend the maturity date through January 2028.

•The repurchase in the open market and retirement of $35.3 million aggregate principal of 6.375% 2020 Senior Notes due 2025.

•Returned over $177 million to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividends.

•Invested of $120.9 million in portfolio improvements, which we believe will drive positive performance at these properties in the future.

In addition to the above we made significant strides in strategic planning for comprehensive renovations expected to yield significant returns on investments including Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch. During 2023, significant projects in the Company’s portfolio included:

•Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, Autograph Collection – Completed the comprehensive renovation of public spaces including meeting space, lobby, restaurant, bar, Starbucks, and creation of a rooftop bar as well as a comprehensive renovation of the guest rooms which began in the second quarter and was completed in November.

•Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa – Completed the significant upgrade to the resort's spa and wellness amenities which reopened as a Miraval Life in Balance Spa.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

Compensation Best Practices

Our executive compensation program incorporates the following best practices:

What we do

What we don't do

Our executives’ total compensation opportunity is substantially based on Company performance, awarded through our annual and long-term incentive compensation programs.

We do not provide change in control excise tax “gross-up” payments.

Our Chief Executive Officer received approximately 70% and other named executive officers received approximately 63% of target total compensation in the form of "at-risk" performance-based incentives.

We do not provide guarantees for equity awards or cash incentive payments.

Any change in control cash payments pursuant to severance agreements with our named executive officers are subject to a “double-trigger.”

No automatic annual increase in executive salaries.

Named executive officers are required to accumulate and hold a meaningful amount of stock. Refer to the subsection entitled “Stock Ownership Guidelines” for more detail.

The Company does not maintain a pension plan and does not provide excessive perquisites to the named executive officers.

Our Compensation Committee retains and meets regularly with an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive compensation.

No pledging, hedging or short sales of Company securities by directors, officers or employees.

Our Compensation Committee regularly reviews the Company’s compensation plans and programs to ensure they are designed to create and maintain stockholder value and do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

No counting of unvested performance equity awards toward our stock ownership guidelines.

The Compensation Committee considers, in making its compensation decisions, whether our compensation arrangements create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

We maintain a mandatory clawback policy in compliance with SEC rules and the NYSE listing company standards pursuant to which the Company must recover amounts inappropriately paid in the event of a restatement of our financial statements, unless the Compensation Committee determines that recovery would be impracticable.

We review and consider stockholder feedback in structuring executive compensation.

We apply multi-year vesting requirements to all equity awards to facilitate retention and ensure performance alignment.

We conduct an annual advisory vote on executive compensation (“say-on-pay”).

The Company believes compensation should reinforce and promote its business objectives. The Company also believes that executive officers who are motivated and challenged by their duties are more likely to achieve the individual and corporate performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee. The primary purpose of our executive compensation program is to achieve the Company’s business objectives by attracting, retaining and motivating talented executive officers by providing financial incentives and economic security.

Since our listing on the NYSE, the Company has maintained a compensation program which bases a significant percentage of compensation for our executive officers on Company performance. Performance-based pay aligns the interests of management with the Company’s stockholders. Consistent with years past, the compensation program for 2023 placed a total of approximately 70% of Mr. Verbaas’ compensation and an average of approximately 63% of the Company’s other named executive officers’ target total compensation "at-risk". The charts below depict the composition, at target levels, of each element of the 2023 compensation program, including those that were performance-based.

The Company consistently seeks to align the interests of its executive officers with those of its stockholders by providing a significant portion of executive officers’ compensation in the form of equity or equity-based awards, either through shares of common stock, restricted stock units or units of limited partnership interest in the Company’s Operating Partnership. Through robust share ownership guidelines for executive officers and grants of time- and performance-based vesting LTIP Units, the value of the executive officers’ total compensation increases as total returns to stockholders increase. Moreover, the Company’s executive compensation program is designed to reward favorable total stockholder returns, both in an absolute amount and relative to peers of the Company, taking into consideration the Company’s competitive position within the lodging REIT industry and each executive’s long-term career contributions to the Company.

The rigorous “pay for performance” program the Company has implemented since its listing on the NYSE has received overwhelming stockholder support in every year other than 2021, both through voting outcomes on say-on-pay as well as direct feedback from investors, proxy advisory firms and other stakeholders. In 2023, the program received a 97% level of support of votes cast by stockholders in favor of the program and its design and effectiveness, consistent with an average say-on-pay approval rate of 96% in all other years except for 2021. In all years other than 2021, the Company received positive reviews and recommendations to vote “FOR” on the Company’s say-on-pay from two of the largest proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis.

2023 Say-On-Pay Results and Investor Outreach

At our 2023 annual meeting, over 97% of votes cast were in favor of our “say-on-pay” proposal. This marks the sixth year since 2017 (every year other than 2021) that the Company has received in excess of 93% support on our “say-on-pay” proposal. Though the members of the Compensation Committee believe that the stockholder vote on our 2023 “say-on-pay” proposal endorses the Company’s compensation program, the Compensation Committee endeavors to continuously improve the Company’s compensation program to align with the interests of our stockholders. Following the 2023 “say-on-pay frequency” vote, our Board of Directors resolved to continue to hold annual "say-on-pay" votes. In 2023 and early 2024, we contacted institutional investors representing over 65% of our common stock as of December 31, 2023, and ultimately held meetings with institutional investors which held approximately 58% of our common stock as of December 31, 2023. These engagement meetings provide our stockholders the opportunity to provide candid, constructive feedback and create a forum to discuss our executive compensation program and its alignment with performance and the Company’s strategy. We use these engagement meetings to solicit feedback on our compensation program and practices and consistent with prior years in 2023 and early 2024 we continued to receive positive feedback from our stockholders on the compensation program. The Compensation Committee also continued its engagement with FPC to assist it in reviewing our executive compensation program.

Our compensation program and pay practices in 2023 were consistent with prior compensation programs in place in those years in which we received overwhelming say-on-pay support and were endorsed by stockholders during the Company's stockholder outreach and engagement meetings held in 2023 and early 2024.

Summary of Compensation Outcomes for 2023

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the annual long-term equity awards, which were consistent with prior years’ awards and primarily consist of performance-based awards which are "at-risk". For each of the named executive officers, 75% of such named executive officer's target equity grant consisted of performance-based Class A Units and 25% consisted of Time-Based LTIP Units. In March 2023, the Compensation Committee approved an annual non-equity incentive plan based primarily on performance-based financial goals. These goals included both Company financial performance goals and individual performance goals specific to each named executive officer. The 2023 compensation program as approved by the Compensation Committee demonstrates the Company's long-standing commitment to developing and maintaining a compensation program that properly aligns pay for performance. Overall, the Compensation Committee believes the 2023 pay outcomes appropriately align pay and both short- and long-term performance while also balancing the performance and retention objectives of the compensation program. The charts below depict the weighting of each element of compensation awarded in 2023.

Highlighted below are the key objectives and elements of our executive compensation program, the purpose of each element and the process for determining each element.

Article 4.04.01 Key Objectives and Elements of Executive Comp Program v3.jpg

Determination of Compensation

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the amount and composition of compensation paid to all of our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee exercises its independent discretion in reviewing and approving the executive compensation program, as well as specific compensation levels for each named executive officer. In its role, the Compensation Committee utilizes market data from publicly available sources and as provided by FPC. Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to compensation decisions of our named executive officers other than himself. The Compensation Committee believes it is valuable to consider the recommendations of Mr. Verbaas with respect to these matters because, given his knowledge of the day-to-day responsibilities of our executive officers, he is in a unique position to provide the Compensation Committee perspective into the performance of our executive officers.

Though the members of the Compensation Committee believe that the stockholder vote in 2023 on our say-on-pay proposal is representative of the overall historical quality and rigor of the Company’s compensation program, the Compensation Committee endeavors to continuously improve the Company’s compensation program to align with the interests of our stockholders. Following the 2023 “say-on-pay frequency” vote, our Board of Directors resolved to continue to hold annual say-on-pay votes.

Independent Consultant

FPC advises our Compensation Committee on compensation program design and the amounts payable to our executive officers. FPC provides our Compensation Committee with information on executive compensation trends, best practices and advice for potential improvements to the executive compensation program. FPC does no work for management, receives no compensation from the Company other than for its work in advising our Compensation Committee, and maintains no other economic relationships with the Company.

Annual Process

At the end of each year, our Compensation Committee reviews the total compensation of each of our named executive officers for that year, including an estimate of the incentive plan compensation for the year. At this meeting, our Compensation Committee also reviews appropriate compensation studies and surveys provided by FPC. After the review, our Compensation Committee finalizes and approves the design of the compensation program for the upcoming year. In 2023, FPC provided consultation and resources to the Compensation Committee throughout the year.

Use of Competitive Peer Group

Our Compensation Committee engages FPC annually to provide a study of our executive officer compensation compared to executive officer compensation at nine similarly situated lodging REITs, or what we call our “Peer Group.” Our Peer Group was selected because their total assets, asset characteristics, revenues, number of employees and market capitalization were comparable to ours. For 2023, the Peer Group consisted of nine publicly traded hospitality REITs that the Company and FPC consider to be the most relevant peer group against which to review compensation for our named executive officers. As of December 31, 2023, the Peer Group had total enterprise values ranging from approximately 1.0x to 3.7x the Company’s total enterprise value. The members of our Peer Group are:

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.

Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.

DiamondRock Hospitality Company

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc.

Hersha Hospitality Trust*

RLJ Lodging Trust

Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.

*Hersha Hospitality Trust was acquired in late 2023 and ceased operating as a publicly traded company.

Following the review of the study and considering the experience and skill level of each executive, our Compensation Committee sets an appropriate base salary for the named executive officers along with target bonuses and equity awards for the following year. While the Compensation Committee examines market data, including data derived from the Peer Group, the Compensation Committee also takes into consideration a number of qualitative factors and individual assessments in arriving at an appropriate compensation package for each individual executive officer and the Compensation Committee does not set the compensation of the named executive officers to a particular percentile of the Peer Group or any single component thereof, such as base salary, total cash compensation, incentive compensation or total compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation information to inform itself of the compensation amounts paid by the Company’s competitors to their executive officers and therefore required for executive officer recruitment and retention.

Subsequent to the end of the year and once the financial results for the prior year are available, our Compensation Committee reviews the achievement of the formulaic components of the cash incentive program and individual objectives. Based on this review, our Compensation Committee finalizes and approves the annual cash incentive compensation for the prior year. Additionally, our Compensation Committee finalizes the structure of the current year annual cash incentive compensation program and the amount and

structure of the long-term equity incentive awards. We believe our programs are effectively designed and working well in alignment with the interests of our stockholders and are instrumental to achieving our business strategy.

Elements of Executive Compensation Program

Annual Base Salary

2023 and 2024 Salaries

Our named executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to the Company. The base salary payable to each of the executives is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. For 2023 and 2024, the base salary of each of our named executive officers was based on the following qualitative and quantitative factors:

•an amount necessary to retain the named executive officers;

•the scope of the named executive officer’s responsibilities;

•the experience and skill set possessed by the particular named executive officer;

•the role within the executive management team; and

•the competitive market compensation paid to executive officers in similar positions within our Peer Group.

The 2023 annual base salaries for the named executive officers are provided in the "Summary Compensation Table" or in the footnotes to the same. For 2024, after considering the information and analysis provided by FPC regarding the compensation levels of executive officers of the applicable peer group, the Compensation Committee decided not to increase the base salary for Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom and Shah. Based on market data and to more closely align each individual's overall compensation with the applicable peer group, Messrs. Kessel and Johnson received base salary increases. As a result, the Compensation Committee approved annual base salaries for 2024 for Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom, Shah, Kessel and Johnson of $900,000, $580,000, $550,000, $465,000, and $405,000, respectively.

Non-Equity Incentive Program

2023 Annual Cash Bonus

In 2023, our named executive officers were eligible to participate in an annual bonus program under which participants may earn annual cash performance bonuses based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria.

The threshold, target and maximum bonus levels for each of our named executive officers for 2023 were:


Name	Threshold Annual Bonus (% of annual base salary)	Target Annual Bonus (% of annual base salary)	Maximum Annual Bonus (% of annual base salary)
Marcel Verbaas	100%	170%	270%
Barry A.N. Bloom	75%	125%	200%
Atish Shah	60%	100%	160%
Taylor C. Kessel	60%	100%	160%
Joseph T. Johnson	45%	75%	120%

Performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum levels is interpolated on a straight-line basis. Under the annual bonus compensation program, the 2023 performance metrics were: (1) Adjusted FFO per share, (2) Hotel EBITDA Margin, (3) RevPAR and (4) individual performance objectives. Adjusted FFO per share and Hotel EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. The Compensation Committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances when evaluating performance, including changing market conditions and broad corporate strategic initiatives, along with overall responsibilities and contributions, and retains the ability and authority to exercise its judgment and discretion to adjust an award up or down. Additionally, appropriate adjustments to objectives may be made based on transactions and significant market circumstances. For 2023, the Compensation Committee adjusted the Adjusted FFO per share performance metric to account for share repurchases which occurred during the year and after the adoption of the initial performance metrics. The weighting of each performance element for the annual bonus compensation program for each of our named executive officers in 2023 was as follows:

Article 4.05.03 - Performance Element Weighting v2.jpg


Metric	Weighting	Threshold 0.6x	Target 1.0x	Maximum 1.6x	Actual Performance
Adjusted FFO per share	55.0%	$1.147	$1.509	$1.871	$1.540
Hotel EBITDA Margin	15.0%	24.0%	27.0%	30.0%	26.4%
RevPAR	10.0%	$163.91	$172.54	$181.17	$169.46
Individual Performance Objectives	20.0%	Varies Per Executive			Achieved at Maximum Level


Metric			Weighting
Adjusted FFO per share			55.0%

Adjusted FFO per share is determined by adjusting the Company’s FFO per share as calculated in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), to adjust for terminated transaction and pre-opening expenses, amortization of debt origination costs share-based compensation, non-cash ground rent and straight-line rent expense, and other expenses we believe do not represent recurring operations.

The Company believes that Adjusted FFO per share, which is a non-GAAP measure, is a useful and key supplemental measure of operating performance, as it excludes the effect of nonrecurring items and historical cost accounting metrics, such as real estate depreciation and amortization, which may be of lesser significance in evaluating current performance. We believe that the use of Adjusted FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, making the metric beneficial to investors’ complete understanding of our operating performance.

Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined that 55.0% of the overall cash bonus for each executive officer would be based upon the level of Adjusted FFO per share generated by the Company during 2023. The Company's adjusted threshold, target and maximum levels of Adjusted FFO per share for 2023 were $1.147, $1.509 and $1.871, respectively. The Company’s 2023 Adjusted FFO per share of $1.540 for 2023 fell between the adjusted target and maximum levels of performance for this metric.


Metric			Weighting
Hotel EBITDA Margin			15.0%

Hotel EBITDA Margin is a commonly used measure of performance in the lodging REIT industry and is calculated by dividing Hotel EBITDA by Total Revenues. Hotel EBITDA represents net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) corporate-level costs and expenses, (5) hotel acquisition and terminated transaction costs, and (6) certain state and local excise taxes resulting from our ownership structure.

The Company believes that Hotel EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP measure, provides our investors a useful financial measure to evaluate our hotel operating performance, excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest), our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), income taxes, and our corporate-level expenses. We believe property-level results provide investors with supplemental information on the ongoing operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of our third-party management companies that operate our business on a property-level basis.

The Compensation Committee believes that Hotel EBITDA Margin is an appropriate additional performance metric because it is reflective of management's effort and success in controlling operating costs of our hotels. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined that 15.0% of the overall cash bonus for each executive officer would be based upon the level of Hotel EBITDA Margin generated by the Company during 2023. The Company's threshold, target and maximum levels of Hotel EBITDA margin for 2023 were 24.0%, 27.0%, and 30.0%, respectively. The Company’s 2023 Hotel EBITDA Margin of 26.4% for 2023 fell between the threshold and target levels of performance for this metric.


Metric			Weighting
RevPAR			10.0%

RevPAR is a measure commonly used in the lodging industry to quantify nightly room revenue. The measure can be applied to a single hotel, market, or the industry and can pertain to a single night, week, month or year. RevPAR is calculated as either (1) the product of the average daily rate (“ADR”) and occupancy rate or (2) dividing hotel room revenue by room nights available to guests for a given period, and does not include non-room revenues such as food and beverage revenue or other operating revenues.

RevPAR is a metric used in the hotel industry to make an assessment regarding a hotel's operations and its ability to fill its available rooms at an average rate. Increasing a property's RevPAR means that its average room rate and/or its occupancy rate are increasing. RevPAR is an industry-wide metric used to measure top-line revenue growth, which we believe gives a useful measure of our performance.

Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined that 10.0% of the overall cash bonus for each executive officer would be based upon the level of RevPAR generated by the Company during 2023. The Company's threshold, target and maximum levels of RevPAR for 2023 were $163.91, $172.54, $181.17, respectively. The Company’s RevPAR for 2023 of $169.46 fell between the threshold and target levels of performance for this metric.


Metric			Weighting
Individual Performance Objectives			20.0%

Twenty percent of each executive’s annual cash incentive is based on achievement of individual objectives. Our Compensation Committee established individual objectives for each of the executive officers, which objectives varied by individual depending on their specific responsibilities. The following is a summary of each of our named executive officers’ individual objectives:

Our Compensation Committee asked our Chief Executive Officer to provide his assessment of each executive officer as it relates to the individual performance objectives. Following the review of the Chief Executive Officer’s assessment and a detailed discussion with our Chief Executive Officer regarding each of the other named executive officers, our Compensation Committee concluded that each of the named executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, earned a maximum payout for the individual performance component of each executive’s bonus. Our Compensation Committee reached this conclusion upon weighing the accomplishments achieved by the Company in 2023. Not only did each executive officer professionally perform the objectives personal to him at a high level, but together the executive officers achieved the accomplishments for the Company outlined above under “2023 Company Performance Achievements.”

The actual cash incentive compensation earned and paid for 2023 performance as a percentage of base salary and as a percentage of target were as follows:


	2023 Cash Incentive Earned
Name	% of Base Salary	% of Target	Total ($)
Marcel Verbaas	190.1%	111.8%	$	1,710,979

Equity Compensation

We maintain the Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc., XHR Holding, Inc. and XHR LP 2015 Incentive Award Plan, as amended in 2023, (the “2015 Incentive Award Plan” or "2015 Plan") in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our named executive officers) and consultants of our Company and certain of our affiliates, to enable our Company and certain of our affiliates to obtain and retain the services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success, and to establish an equity-based compensation program suitable for a publicly traded company. In February 2023, each of our named executive officers was granted Class A Units and Time-Based LTIP Units under the 2015 Incentive Award Plan. Generally, we target providing at least half of each executive’s total target compensation opportunity in the form of long-term equity incentives, which for performance-based equity awards are measured over a three-year performance period. However, our Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, the actual amount of equity to be awarded to our executive officers each year reflecting our performance in the prior year, individual performance and competitive levels of long-term incentive compensation among our Peer Group. Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom, Shah, Kessel, and Johnson received a total target equity grant of $3,450,000, $1,700,000, $1,300,000, $800,000, and $550,000 (each, a “Target Equity Grant”), respectively, of which 75% of such Target Equity Grant was in the form of Class A Units and 25% was in the form of Time-Based LTIP Units based on the average of the Company’s four-day closing price ending on February 24, 2023, with the potential to receive up to 2x the Target Equity Grant if maximum performance is achieved under the Class A Units awards as further discussed below. The equity awards are subject to accelerated vesting in the event of certain terminations of employment and/or a change in control, as more fully described in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section.

Elements of 2023 Long-Term Equity Awards

Performance-Based Equity Awards ("LTIP Units")

LTIP Units may be issued to eligible participants in the 2015 Incentive Award Plan for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. LTIP Units (other than Class A Units that have not vested), whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as common units in the Operating Partnership (“Common Units”), which equal the per-share dividends on shares of our common stock. Class A Units that have not performance vested generally receive quarterly per-unit distributions equal to ten percent of the distributions made with respect to an equivalent number of Common Units.

Initially, LTIP Units do not have full parity with Common Units with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units may be converted into an equal number of Common Units at any time, and thereafter enjoy all the rights of Common Units, including redemption rights. Common Units are redeemable for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock, or, at the election of the Company, an equal number of shares of our common stock, each subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, specified extraordinary distributions or similar events.

In order to achieve full parity with Common Units, LTIP Units must be fully vested and the holder’s capital account balance in respect of such LTIP Units must be equal to the per-unit capital account balance with respect to the Common Units owned, directly and indirectly, by the Company.

Class A Units

General: Pursuant to the Class A Unit awards granted in February 2023, each executive is eligible to vest in a number of units ranging from 0% to 100% of the total units granted, based on our TSR during the performance period commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”), measured on both an absolute basis and relative to the TSRs of a specified peer group of companies during the Performance Period, subject to the executive’s continued service. TSR generally refers to the compounded annual growth rate in the value per share of our common stock during the Performance Period due to the appreciation in the price per share plus dividends declared during the Performance Period, assuming dividends are reinvested in shares of our common stock on the date that they were paid. Class A Units are subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the 2015 Incentive Award Plan, or the Class A Unit award agreement governing such Class A Units, and the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, as amended from time to time (the “Partnership Agreement”).

Performance Vesting: A portion of each award of Class A Units is designated as a number of “base units.” Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Class A base units are designated as “absolute TSR base units” and seventy-five percent (75%) of the Class A base units are designated as “relative TSR base units.” With respect to the absolute TSR base units, in the event that our annualized TSR percentage over the Performance Period (the “Company TSR Percentage”) is achieved at the threshold, target or maximum level as set forth below, the award will become vested with respect to the percentage of absolute TSR base units set forth below. Under the rigorous performance vesting standards currently in place, if the Company does not achieve a significant return over the three-year Performance Period which results in an annualized Company TSR Percentage of at least 6.0%, then zero absolute TSR base units (25% of the total base units) will vest.


	Company TSR Percentage	Absolute TSR Vesting Percentage
	< 6.0%	0.00%
Threshold Level	6.0%	14.29%
Target Level	9.0%	42.90%
Maximum Level	> 13.0%	100.00%

If the Company TSR Percentage falls between the threshold, target or maximum levels, the percentage of absolute TSR base units that vest will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels.

The relative TSR base units vest based on the Company TSR Percentage as compared to the TSR percentages of the following eleven similarly situated lodging REITs, or what we call our “Equity Award Peer Group.” The following lodging REITs are included in our Equity Award Peer Group(1):

Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.

Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.

Chatham Lodging Trust, Inc.

Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc.

DiamondRock Hospitality Company

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.

Hersha Hospitality Trust(2)

RLJ Lodging Trust

(1)Our Equity Award Peer Group includes additional lodging REITs as compared to the Peer Group used for our analysis of total executive compensation. We include lodging REITs with a wider range of market capitalizations in our Equity Award Peer Group in order to reflect a larger number of companies that investors could consider as alternative investments and that are appropriate benchmarks for our relative industry performance. Additionally, inclusion of a larger number of companies in our Equity Award Peer Group ensures a greater probability of having a sufficient population against which to measure our performance over the length of time over which the performance awards vest (typically a three-year period) in the event companies in our Equity Award Peer Group are merged or acquired.

(2)During 2023, Hersha Hospitality Trust was acquired by a private company and ceased operating as a publicly-traded company. Per the respective Class A award agreements, Hersha Hospitality Trust was removed as an Equity Award Peer Group member.

In the event that the Company TSR Percentage compared to the TSR percentages of the Equity Award Peer Group (the "Equity Award Peer Group Relative Performance") is achieved at the threshold, target or maximum level as set forth below, the award will become vested with respect to the percentage of relative TSR base units set forth below. If the Company does not achieve an Equity Award Peer Group Relative Performance of at least the 25th percentile, then no relative TSR base units will vest.

The Class A Units granted in February 2023 reflected the maximum number of units that could vest over the Performance Period. The following table sets forth summaries of the threshold, target and maximum number of absolute TSR base units and relative TSR base units, respectively, that could vest:


	Threshold Base Units		Target Base Units		Maximum Base Units
Name	Absolute	Relative	Absolute	Relative	Absolute	Relative
Class A Units
Marcel Verbaas	15,222	45,665	45,697	137,090	106,519	319,557
Barry A.N. Bloom	7,501	22,501	22,517	67,552	52,488	157,463
Atish Shah	5,736	17,207	17,219	51,657	40,138	120,413

Joseph T. Johnson	2,427	7,280	7,285	21,855	16,981	50,944

With respect to Class A Units, in addition to the base units, an additional number of Class A Units (the “distribution equivalent units”) are included in each award. A number of distribution equivalent units having a value equal to the dividends that would have been paid during the Performance Period on the shares of our common stock corresponding to the base units that become performance vested (less any actual distributions made with respect to such units) will vest following the completion of the Performance Period up to the maximum number of units that are included in the award. For purposes of calculating the number of distribution equivalent units, the dividend amount will be adjusted (plus or minus) to reflect the gain or loss on such amount had the dividends been reinvested in shares of our common stock on the applicable payment date.

The table below sets forth the total number of Class A Units awarded to each of our named executive officers on February 24, 2023, as well as the number of Class A Units that constitute absolute TSR base units and relative TSR base units.


Name	Total Class A Units	Absolute TSR Base Units	Relative TSR Base Units
Marcel Verbaas	489,988	106,519	319,557
Barry A.N. Bloom	241,444	52,488	157,463
Atish Shah	184,634	40,138	120,413
Taylor C. Kessel	113,620	24,700	74,100
Joseph T. Johnson	78,114	16,981	50,944

Time-Based LTIP Units

General: Pursuant to the Time-Based LTIP Unit awards, each executive is eligible to vest in a number of LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership based on the executive’s continued service with the Company. LTIP Units are subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the 2015 Incentive Award Plan, the Time-Based LTIP Unit award agreement governing such LTIP Units, and the Partnership Agreement.

Vesting: Each award of Time-Based LTIP Units granted in February 2023 vests as follows, subject to the executive’s continued service through each applicable vesting date: 33% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date of the award, 33% on the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and 34% on the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date.

The table below sets forth the number of Time-Based LTIP Units awarded to each of our named executive officers during 2023:


Name						Time-Based LTIP Units
Marcel Verbaas						60,869
Barry A.N. Bloom						29,993
Atish Shah						22,936
Taylor C. Kessel						14,115
Joseph T. Johnson						9,704

Other Elements of Compensation

We provide customary employee benefits to our full- and part-time employees, including our named executive officers, including medical and dental benefits, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and group life insurance.

Our employees are also eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. Any employee, including our named executive officers, who satisfies certain eligibility requirements may defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed tax code limits, through contributions to the 401(k) plan. For 2023, we matched 100% of the contributions made by each participant in the 401(k) plan for the first $5,000 of the employee’s contributions. The Company also made a safe harbor contribution to the 401(k) plan of 3% of each employee’s salary, subject to applicable statutory compensation limitations.

Outstanding Performance-Based Equity Awards

In March 2021, we granted awards of Class A Units to Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom, Shah, Kessel, and Johnson which vested based on our TSR during the performance period commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 (the “2021-2023 Performance Period”), measured on both an absolute basis and relative to the TSRs of a specified peer group of companies during the 2021-2023 Performance Period, subject to the executives’ continued service. Our annualized absolute TSR during the 2021-2023 Performance Period was below threshold, at (2.2)% which was below the 6.0% required threshold and thus resulted in none of the absolute Class A Unit awards vesting. Our relative TSR during the 2021-2023 Performance Period was between threshold and target, at the 30th percentile, which resulted in 20.0% of each relative Class A Unit award vesting.

In February 2022, we granted awards of Class A Units to Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom, Shah, Kessel, and Johnson which will vest based on our TSR during the performance period commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024 (the “2022-2024 Performance Period”), measured on both an absolute basis and relative to the TSRs of a specified peer group of companies during the 2022-2024 Performance Period, subject to the executives’ continued service. Our annualized absolute TSR during the 2022-2024

Performance Period as of December 31, 2023 was below threshold, at (13.8)% which was below the 6.0% required threshold and thus would have resulted in none of the absolute Class A Unit awards vesting had the performance period ended on December 31, 2023. Our relative TSR during the 2022-2024 Performance Period as of December 31, 2023 was below threshold, at the 20th percentile and thus would have resulted in none of the relative Class A Unit awards vesting had the performance period ended on December 31, 2023.

In February 2023, we granted awards of Class A Units to Messrs. Verbaas, Bloom, Shah, Kessel, and Johnson which will vest based on our TSR during the performance period commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “2023-2025 Performance Period”), measured on both an absolute basis and relative to the TSRs of a specified peer group of companies during the 2023-2025 Performance Period, subject to the executives’ continued service. Our annualized absolute TSR during the 2023-2025 Performance Period as of December 31, 2023 was below threshold, at 5.9% which was below the 6.0% required threshold and thus would have resulted in none of the absolute Class A Unit awards vesting had the performance period ended on December 31, 2023. Our relative TSR during the 2023-2025 Performance Period as of December 31, 2023 was below threshold, at the 20th percentile and thus would have resulted in none of the relative Class A Unit awards vesting had the performance period ended on December 31, 2023.

The following is a timeline tracking the status of the unvested performance-based equity awards as of December 31, 2023:

Accounting Considerations

Grants of stock-based compensation are accounted for under ASC Topic 718 which requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. The Compensation Committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to equity compensation awards. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align the cost of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “proxy statement”) and, based on such review and discussions, recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the proxy statement.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our named executive officers are entitled to certain payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment (whether or not such termination is in connection with a change in control) or upon a change in control. The following discussion describes the payments and benefits to which our named executive officers would have become entitled upon a qualifying termination or change in control, as applicable, occurring on December 31, 2023.

Severance Agreements

We have entered into a severance agreement with each of our named executive officers (the “Severance Agreements”). Under the named executive officers’ respective Severance Agreements in effect during 2023, if the executive’s employment was terminated by the Company without “cause,” or by the executive for “good reason” (each, as defined in the applicable Severance Agreement), then in addition to any accrued amounts, the executive would be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits:

•payment in an amount equal to a multiple of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, payable in equal installments over a period of 12 months commencing within 60 days following the executive’s termination date, or, in the event that the qualifying termination occurs within the 24 month period following a change in control, payable in a lump sum amount within 60 days following the executive’s termination date; and

•reimbursement by the Company of premiums for healthcare continuation coverage under COBRA for the executive and his dependents for up to 18 months after the termination date.

The cash severance multiple for each executive for both non-change in control and change in control termination scenarios as of December 31, 2023 was as follows:

Name

Non-Change
in Control

Change in
Control

Marcel Verbaas

2.99x

Barry A.N. Bloom

Atish Shah

Taylor C. Kessel

Joseph T. Johnson

Additionally, in the event of a qualifying termination, the Severance Agreements provide that any outstanding unvested equity awards will be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement and equity compensation plan; provided that any award agreements evidencing performance-based vesting awards provide that in the event of a change in control, the award will vest based on actual performance through the date of the change in control, without any proration to reflect the shorter performance period resulting from the change in control (subject to the executive’s continued service until the change in control).

The executive’s right to receive the severance payments and benefits described above is subject to the executive’s delivery and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, and the executive’s continued compliance with certain covenants set forth in the Severance Agreement, including confidentiality covenants that apply indefinitely, and certain noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants that apply during the executive’s employment and for six months (or twelve months for Mr. Verbaas) following the executive’s termination of employment. Following a change in control of the Company, the executive will not be subject to the noncompetition covenant with respect to any period following a termination of his employment. Each Severance Agreement also includes a mutual non-disparagement covenant by the executive and the Company.

To the extent that any payment or benefit received by an executive in connection with a change in control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, such payments and/or benefits would be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the executive than receiving the full amount of such payments.

Equity Awards

Class A Unit Awards

In the event of a change in control of the Company prior to the completion of the Performance Period, subject to the executive’s continued service until immediately prior to the change in control, the award (including any distribution equivalent units) will become vested immediately prior to such change in control in the amount equal to the sum of (A) the number of base units which would be performance vested base units (if any) assuming the completion of the Performance Period as of the date of the change in control, plus (B) the distribution equivalent units (calculated with respect only to the number of base units which would vest under (A) above).

If an executive’s service terminates due to his death or disability, or by us other than for “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” (collectively a “qualifying termination”), in any case, prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the award (including any distribution equivalent units) will become vested at the greater of (i) actual performance assuming the completion of the Performance Period as of the date of the qualifying termination, prorated based on the number of days that the executive was employed during the Performance Period, and (ii) target level performance.

Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards

In the event of a change in control of the Company or if the executive experiences a qualifying termination, the Time-Based LTIP Unit awards will vest in full immediately prior to such change in control or upon such qualifying termination, as applicable.

Performance-Based RSUs

In the event of a change in control of the Company prior to the completion of the Performance Period, subject to the executive’s continued service until immediately prior to the change in control, the award will become vested immediately prior to such change in control in the amount equal to the number of RSUs which would be performance vested RSUs (if any) assuming the completion of the Performance Period as of the date of the change in control.

If an executive experiences a qualifying termination, prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the award will become vested at the greater of (i) actual performance assuming the completion of the Performance Period as of the date of the qualifying termination, prorated based on the number of days that the executive was employed during the Performance Period, and (ii) target level performance.

Time-Based RSUs

In the event of a change in control of the Company or if the executive experiences a qualifying termination, the Time-Based RSU awards will vest in full immediately prior to such change in control or upon such qualifying termination, as applicable.

Retirement Policy

Effective as of February 18, 2020, our Compensation Committee adopted the Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Retirement Policy (the “Retirement Policy”). The Retirement Policy provides that, in the event of a participant’s “qualifying retirement,” all time-based equity awards held by the participant will become vested in full, and all performance-based equity awards held by the participant will remain outstanding and eligible to vest on a prorated basis in accordance with the terms of the Retirement Policy. For purposes of the Retirement Policy, a “qualifying retirement” includes a participant’s voluntary retirement after the participant has attained at least 60 years of age and completed 10 years of service, provided that the participant has provided the Company with at least six months’ advance written notice of the participant’s retirement. As of December 31, 2023, none of our named executive officers were eligible for a qualifying retirement pursuant to the terms of the Retirement Policy.

Summary of Potential Payments

The following table summarizes the payments that would be made to our named executive officers upon the occurrence of certain qualifying terminations of employment or a change in control, assuming such named executive officer’s termination of employment with the Company occurred on December 31, 2023. No payments would be owed to any of the named executive officers and no accelerated vesting of equity awards would occur in the event of a termination “for cause” or resignation without “good reason.” Amounts shown in the table below do not include (1) accrued but unpaid salary or bonuses, (2) deductions for federal, state and/or excise tax obligations, or (3) other benefits earned or accrued by the named executive officer during his employment that are available to all salaried employees, such as accrued vacation, and assume that the "best pay cap" reduction described above would not apply.

(2)Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the "Compensation Actually Paid" columns was determined by reference to (i) for solely service-vesting awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price per share on the applicable vesting date(s); and (ii) for market-based awards, the fair value calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the applicable year-end date(s), which utilizes multiple input variables, including expected volatility of our stock price and other assumptions appropriate for determining fair value, to estimate the probability of satisfying the performance objective established for the award, including the expected volatility of our stock price relative to the applicable comparative index and a risk-free interest rate derived from linear interpolation of the term structure of Treasury Constant Maturities yield rates for the applicable period. For additional information on the assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards, see the Note 12 to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and prior fiscal years.

(3)For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR (the "Peer Group TSR") of the Dow Jones U.S. Hotel and Lodging REIT Index.

(4)Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share is a non-GAAP measure. We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, as amended in the 2018 Restatement White Paper, which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation, amortization and impairments, gains (losses) from sales of real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and consolidated variable interest entities, and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary. We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in Nareit’s definition of FFO such as terminated transaction and pre-opening expenses, amortization of debt origination costs and share-based compensation, non-cash ground rent and straight-line rent expense, operating results from properties that are sold and other items we believe do not represent recurring operations. Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share represents Adjusted FFO divided by our weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted-average vested Operating Partnership units for the respective periods as presented in our press release for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, furnished on Form 8-K, dated February 27, 2024, March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2022, respectively.

Pay Versus Performance: Most Important Measures

We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:

•Relative TSR

•Absolute TSR

•Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share

•Hotel EBITDA Margin

•RevPAR

"RevPAR" or "revenue per available room" means rooms revenues divided by room nights available, regardless of operational status, in a given period, and does not include non-rooms revenues such as food and beverage revenues or other operating revenue.

"Hotel EBITDA" represents net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization, (4) corporate-level costs and expenses, (5) hotel acquisition and terminated transaction costs, and (6) certain state and local excise taxes resulting from our ownership structure. We believe that Hotel EBITDA provides our investors a useful financial measure to evaluate our hotel operating performance excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense), our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization), income taxes, and our corporate-level expenses (corporate expenses and hotel acquisition and terminated transaction costs). Hotel EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Hotel EBITDA by Total Revenues.

Relationship Between Financial Performance Measures

The graphs below compare the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our remaining named executive officers, with (i) our cumulative TSR, (ii) our Peer Group TSR, (iii) our net income (loss)*, and (iv) our Adjusted FFO per Diluted Share, in each case, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100 and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

*The Company does not currently utilize net income as a metric in any of its incentive programs.

CEO PAY RATIO

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Marcel Verbaas, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”). We consider the pay ratio specified below to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2023, our last completed fiscal year:

•the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than our CEO) was $253,394; and

•the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" included in this proxy statement, was $7,264,099.

Based on this information, for 2023, the annual total compensation of our CEO was approximately 29 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than the CEO).

Determining the Median Employee

Employee Population

We chose December 31, 2023, as the date for establishing our employee population used to identify the median employee. As of such date, our employee population consisted of 45 individuals.

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee

To identify the median employee from our employee population, we used total cash compensation earned in 2023 and annualized the compensation of all permanent employees who were hired in 2023.

Compensation Measure and Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee and CEO

With respect to the annual total compensation of the median employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation for 2023 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, which includes salary, cash bonus, equity awards, and other perquisites required to be disclosed under SEC rules. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of the "Summary Compensation Table" included in this proxy statement.

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT

The Company believes that our compensation policies and practices appropriately balance near-term performance improvement with sustainable long-term value creation, and that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking. In 2023, the Company’s management team completed an extensive review of the design and operation of our compensation program and its findings were presented to the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The review included an assessment of the level of risk associated with the various elements of compensation.

PROPOSAL 2 - NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION (“SAY-ON-PAY”)

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to consider and vote upon the following resolution to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as reported in this proxy statement:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and related narrative discussion of this proxy statement.”

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of the Company’s stockholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee has developed and maintained a compensation program that is intended to reward performance and encourage actions that drive long-term success in our business objectives. As described in more detail under “Article IV: Executive Compensation — Overview of Executive Compensation Program” the Company’s primary objective is to deliver attractive long-term total returns to stockholders through appreciation in the value of our stock and by providing income to stockholders through the establishment of and increases in distributable cash flow. The Company’s compensation philosophy and structure for our senior executives is designed to achieve these objectives.

In determining actual 2023 compensation for our named executive officers, and as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee reviewed progress made against planned objectives established at the beginning of 2023, as discussed on page 34, the executive summary on page 27, and progress made against individual performance objectives. At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted in favor of holding annual say-on-pay votes, and following the 2023 stockholder vote, our Board of Directors agreed with the stockholders’ advisory vote and resolved to continue to hold annual advisory say-on-pay votes. Unless our Board of Directors modifies its determination regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay advisory votes, the next say-on-pay vote will be held at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2025.

We believe that the Compensation Committee has developed a compensation program for our named executive officers that motivates outstanding performance and rewards behavior that aligns management’s interest with those of stockholders.

Vote Required

Approval of the say-on-pay proposal requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.


ü						THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2 TO APPROVE, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

ARTICLE V: INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We are asking our stockholders to ratify our Audit Committee's appointment of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our charter, bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of KPMG to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Furthermore, the Audit Committee will take the results of the stockholder vote regarding KPMG’s appointment into consideration in future deliberations. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee, or the chair of the Audit Committee, shall pre-approve any audit and non-audit service provided to the Company by the independent auditor, unless the engagement is entered into pursuant to appropriate preapproval policies established by the Audit Committee or if such service falls within available exceptions under SEC rules or NYSE listing rules.

Vote Required

Approval of the ratification of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.

ARTICLE VI: REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS*

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, the reporting process and maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s independent auditors are engaged to audit and express opinions on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

In addition to fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as set forth in its charter and further described in the section of the Company’s proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders titled “Audit Committee,” the Audit Committee has performed the following:

• Prior to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

• Discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by KPMG under auditing standards established from time to time by the PCAOB or SEC rules and regulations.

• Evaluated KPMG’s qualifications, performance and independence (consistent with SEC requirements), which included the receipt and review of the written disclosures and presentations from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussions with KPMG regarding its independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions with management and KPMG cited above, including the review of KPMG’s disclosures to the Audit Committee and review of the representations of management and the reports of KPMG, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.

Submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE VIII: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

STATEMENT OF POLICY REGARDING TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy regarding the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our “related person policy.” Our related person policy requires that management present to the Audit Committee any proposed “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest), including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. The Audit Committee will review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third-party, whether the related party transaction is inconsistent with the interests of the Company and its stockholders, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction. If advance Audit Committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the Audit Committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the Audit Committee subject to ratification of the transaction by the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification shall not be forthcoming, management shall make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul such transaction. Any related person transaction shall be consummated and shall continue only if the Audit Committee has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with Section 2-419 of the MGCL (if applicable), or any successor provision thereto, the Company’s charter and bylaws and the guidelines set forth in the related person policy.

ARTICLE X: MISCELLANEOUS

AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

This proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are available free of charge at www.proxyvote.com. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC (exclusive of exhibits and documents incorporated by reference), may also be obtained for free by directing written requests to: Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc., Attention: VP – Finance, 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801. Copies of exhibits and basic documents filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K or referenced therein will be furnished to stockholders upon written request and payment of a nominal fee in connection with the furnishing of such documents. You may also obtain the Annual Report on Form 10-K over the internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.xeniareit.com.

HOUSEHOLDING

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. A number of brokers with account holders who are stockholders may be householding the Company’s proxy materials. If you receive a householding notification from your broker, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received by your broker. Once you receive notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to

request householding of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, if you receive a householding notification and wish to receive a separate Annual Report or proxy statement at your address, you should also contact your broker directly. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy materials for the 2024 Annual Meeting, we will deliver them promptly upon request sent to Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 200 S. Orange Avenue, Suite 2700, Orlando, Florida 32801 or by calling 407-246-8100.

The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are based on certain assumptions of management and describe the Company's future plans, strategies and expectations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of words such as "may," "could," "expect," "intend," "plan," "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "guidance," "predict," "potential," "continue," "likely," "will," "would," "illustrative," references to "outlook" and "guidance" and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this proxy statement include, among others, statements about our plans, strategies, or other future events, the outlook related to macroeconomic factors and general economic uncertainty and a potential contraction in the U.S. or global economy or low levels of economic growth, including such effects on the demand for travel, transient and group business, capital expenditures, timing of renovations, financial performance, prospects or future events. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. As a result, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) general economic uncertainty and a contraction in the U.S. or global economy or low levels of economic growth; (ii) macroeconomic and other factors beyond our control that can adversely affect and reduce demand for hotel rooms, food and beverage services, and/or meeting facilities, such as wars, prolonged geopolitical unrest, actual or threatened terrorist or cyber-attacks, mass casualty events, government shutdowns and closures, travel-related health concerns, global outbreaks of pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or

contagious diseases, or fear of such outbreaks, weather and climate-related events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes,

floods, wildfires, and droughts, and natural or man-made disasters; (iii) inflation and inflationary pressures which increases our labor and other costs of providing services to guests and meeting hotel brand standards, as well as costs related to construction and other capital expenditures, property and other taxes, and insurance which could result in reduced operating profit margins; (iv) bank failures and concerns over a near-term recession; (v) the Company’s dependence on third-party managers of its hotels, including its inability to implement strategic business decisions directly; (vi) risks associated with the hotel industry, including competition, increases in wages and benefits, energy costs and other operating costs, cyber incidents, information technology failures, downturns in general and local economic conditions, prolonged periods of civil unrest in our markets, and cancellation of or delays in the completion of anticipated demand generators; (vii) the availability and terms of financing and capital and the general volatility of securities markets; (viii) risks associated with the real estate industry, including environmental contamination and costs of complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws; (ix) interest rate increases; (x) ability to successfully negotiate amendments and covenant waivers with its unsecured and secured indebtedness; (xi) the Company's ability to comply with covenants, restrictions, and limitations in any existing or revised loan agreements with our unsecured and secured lenders; (xii) the possible failure of the Company to qualify as a REIT and the risk of changes in laws affecting REITs; (xiii) the possibility of uninsured or under insured losses, including those relating to natural disasters, terrorism, government shutdowns and closures, civil unrest, or cyber incidents; (xiv) risks associated with redevelopment and repositioning projects, including disruption, delays and cost overruns; (xv) levels of spending in business and leisure segments as well as consumer confidence; (xvi) declines in occupancy and average daily rate; (xvii) the seasonal and cyclical nature of the real estate and hospitality businesses; (xviii) changes in distribution arrangements, such as through Internet travel intermediaries; (xix) relationships with labor unions and changes in labor laws, including increases to minimum wages; (xx) the impact of changes in the tax code and uncertainty as to how some of those changes may be applied; (xxi) monthly cash expenditures and the uncertainty around predictions; (xxii) labor shortages; (xxiii) disruptions in supply chains resulting in delays or inability to procure required products; and (xiv) the risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in its Quarterly Reports. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company's expectations will be realized. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date of this proxy statement. Additionally, we may provide information herein that is not necessarily “material” under the federal securities laws for SEC reporting purposes, but that is informed by various ESG standards and frameworks (including standards for the measurement of underlying data), and the interests of various stakeholders. Much of this information is subject to assumptions, estimates or third-party information that is still evolving and subject to change. For example, our disclosures based on any standards may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable government policies, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements,

except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING

Our Board of Directors knows of no matters other than those referred to in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter should be properly presented for consideration and voting at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote the shares represented by all valid proxies in accordance with their discretion on such matters.
