Sotherly Hotels Receives a Notification Letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market On August 12, 2025, Sotherly Hotels Inc., received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it had been granted an additional 180 days, or until February 9, 2026 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. In order to be eligible to receive the Second Compliance Period, the Company applied to have its common stock (the “Common Stock”) transferred from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. In connection with the grant of the Second Compliance Period, the application was approved and the Common Stock will move to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the opening of business on August 14, 2025. As previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before February 9, 2026, the bid price of the Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance, subject to the Staff’s discretion to extend the minimum bid price compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Second Compliance Period, the Common Stock will become subject to delisting. In the event that the Company receives notice that the Common Stock is being delisted, the Nasdaq listing rules permit the Company to appeal a delisting determination by the Staff to a hearings panel. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and the Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded under the symbol “SOHO.” The Company intends to continue to monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock between now and February 9, 2026, and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.8% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.8% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$5.0m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (€24.8m market cap, or US$27.0m).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.9% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent.
