Braemar to contest Al Shams discovery petition

Braemar Hotels & Resorts faced a Texas Rule 202 discovery petition filed by shareholder Al Shams Investments seeking depositions of two former directors.

The petition does not assert a claim or allege wrongdoing, positioning the filing as pre-suit discovery tied to a potential lawsuit.

Braemar plans to fight the petition, calling it a fishing expedition intended to build a case.

The dispute extends a more than two-year campaign by Al Shams principal Wafic Said to gain influence at the REIT.
