Signature of Reporting Person Date
Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )This amendment is being filed to correct the type of security granted to the reporting person. The original report stated that the reporting person was granted restricted stock. Instead, he was granted LTIP units. Column 5 of Table 1 reflects the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock owned by the reporting person as of March 1, 2019.
( 2 )Represents LTIP Units in DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership ("DRHLP"), of which the Issuer is the general partner.
( 3 )Conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, each LTIP Unit will be converted automatically into a common unit of limited partnership interest in DRHLP ("Common OP Unit"). Each Common OP Unit acquired upon conversion of an LTIP Unit may be presented for redemption, at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the then fair market value of a share of the Issuer's common stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each Common OP Unit so presented for one share of common stock. The conversion feature of vested LTIP Units and the redemption rights for Common OP Units do not have expiration dates.
( 4 )The LTIP Units vest in three annual installments beginning on February 27, 2020.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
