NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Office Properties Income Trust and its subsidiaries, or OPI, we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or our 2022 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and assessment of impairment of real estate and the related intangibles.
Note 2. Real Estate Properties
As of March 31, 2023, our wholly owned properties were comprised of 157 properties containing approximately 20,895,000 rentable square feet, with an undepreciated carrying value of $ 3,999,551 , including $ 4,913 classified as held for sale. We also had noncontrolling ownership interests of 51 % and 50 % in two unconsolidated joint ventures that own three properties containing approximately 444,000 rentable square feet. We generally lease space at our properties on a gross lease, modified gross lease or net lease basis pursuant to fixed term contracts expiring between 2023 and 2053. Some of our leases generally require us to pay all or some property operating expenses and to provide all or most property management services. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we entered into 16 leases for approximately 203,000 rentable square feet for a weighted (by rentable square feet) average lease term of 6.8 years and we made commitments of $ 8,747 for leasing related costs. As of March 31, 2023, we had estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $ 139,874 .
We regularly evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could indicate an impairment in the value of long lived assets. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, lack of progress releasing vacant space, tenant bankruptcies, low long term prospects for improvement in property performance, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of a property. If there is an indication that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, we estimate the projected undiscounted cash flows to determine if an impairment loss should be recognized. The future net undiscounted cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. We determine the amount of any impairment loss by comparing the historical carrying value to estimated fair value. We estimate fair value through an evaluation of recent financial performance and projected discounted cash flows using standard industry valuation techniques. In addition to consideration of impairment upon the events or changes in circumstances described above, we regularly evaluate the remaining useful lives of our long lived assets. If we change our estimate of the remaining useful lives, we allocate the carrying value of the affected assets over their revised remaining useful lives.
Disposition Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold three properties containing approximately 89,000 rentable square feet for a sales price of $ 5,350 , excluding closing costs. The sale of these properties does not represent a significant disposition, nor does it represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations of these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).We recorded a $ 2,548 gain on sale of real estate during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of this sale.
As of March 31, 2023, we had one property containing approximately 107,000 rentable square feet under agreement to sell for a sales price of $ 4,900 , excluding closing costs, which was classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. This pending sale is subject to conditions, and accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete this sale or that this sale will not be delayed or the terms will not change.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We own interests in two joint ventures that own three properties. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of the following:
OPI Carrying Value of Investments at
Joint Venture OPI Ownership March 31,
2023 December 31, 2022 Number of Properties Location Rentable Square Feet
Prosperity Metro Plaza 51 % $ 19,001 $ 19,237 2 Fairfax, VA 329,000
1750 H Street, NW 50 % 17,557 15,892 1 Washington, D.C. 115,000
Total $ 36,558 $ 35,129 3 444,000
The following table provides a summary of the mortgage debt of our two unconsolidated joint ventures:
Joint Venture Interest Rate (1)
Maturity Date Principal Balance at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (2)
Prosperity Metro Plaza 4.09 % 12/1/2029 $ 50,000
1750 H Street, NW 3.69 % 8/1/2024 32,000
Weighted Average / Total 3.93 % $ 82,000
(1) Includes the effect of mark to market purchase accounting.
(2) Reflects the entire balance of the debt secured by the properties and is not adjusted to reflect the interests in the joint ventures we do not own. None of the debt is recourse to us.
At March 31, 2023, the aggregate unamortized basis difference of our two unconsolidated joint ventures of $ 6,367 was primarily attributable to the difference between the amount we paid to purchase our interest in these joint ventures, including transaction costs, and the historical carrying value of the net assets of these joint ventures. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the related properties and the resulting amortization expense is included in equity in net losses of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Note 3. Leases
Our leases provide for base rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. Allowances for bad debts are recognized as a direct reduction of rental income. In certain circumstances, some leases provide the tenant with the right to terminate if the legislature or other funding authority does not appropriate the funding necessary for the tenant to meet its lease obligations; we have determined the fixed non-cancelable lease term of these leases to be the full term of the lease because we believe the occurrence of early terminations to be a remote contingency based on both our historical experience and our assessments of the likelihood of lease cancellation on a separate lease basis.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $ 4,173 and $ 2,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding properties classified as held for sale, included $ 90,478 and $ 86,305 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including payments determined by changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Such payments totaled $ 21,370 and $ 22,536 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $ 20,066 and $ 21,475 , respectively.

Note 4. Concentration
Tenant and Credit Concentration
We define annualized rental income as the annualized contractual base rents from our tenants pursuant to our lease agreements as of the measurement date, plus straight line rent adjustments and estimated recurring expense reimbursements to be paid to us, and excluding lease value amortization. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the U.S. government and certain state and other government tenants combined were responsible for approximately 28.5 % and 29.0 %, respectively, of our annualized rental income. The U.S. government is our largest tenant by annualized rental income and represented approximately 19.6 % and 19.4 % of our annualized rental income as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Geographic Concentration
At March 31, 2023, our 157 wholly owned properties were located in 30 states and the District of Columbia. Properties located in California, Illinois, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Georgia were responsible for approximately 11.9 %, 11.0 %, 11.0 %, 10.4 % and 9.1 % of our annualized rental income as of March 31, 2023, respectively.
Note 5. Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2023 were: (1) $ 245,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $ 750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility; (2) $ 2,212,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; and (3) a $ 50,000 outstanding principal amount for one mortgage note.
Our $ 750,000 revolving credit facility is governed by a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, with a syndicate of institutional lenders that includes a feature under which the maximum aggregate borrowing availability may be increased to up to $ 1,950,000 in certain circumstances. Our revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is July 31, 2023 and, subject to our payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one six month period. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayment is due until maturity.
In March 2023, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, replace LIBOR with the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, as the benchmark interest rate for calculating interest payable on the amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We are required to pay interest at a rate of SOFR plus a premium, which was 110 basis points per annum at March 31, 2023, on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We also pay a facility fee on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility, which was 25 basis points per annum at March 31, 2023. Both the interest rate premium and facility fee are subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.0 % and 5.4 %, respectively. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 5.6 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Effective April 1, 2023, the interest rate premium and facility fee increased to 145 basis points per annum and 30 basis points per annum, respectively, based upon changes to our credit ratings. We did not borrow any funds under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and April 25, 2023, we had $ 245,000 and $ 260,000 , respectively, outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and $ 505,000 and $ 490,000 , respectively, available for borrowing.
Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements also contain covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, require us to comply with certain financial covenants and, in the case of our credit agreement, restrict our ability to make distributions under certain circumstances. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the respective covenants under our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements at March 31, 2023.
At March 31, 2023, one of our properties with a net book value of $ 54,256 was encumbered by a mortgage note with a principal balance of $ 50,000 . Our mortgage note is non-recourse, subject to certain limited exceptions and does not contain any material financial covenants.

(1) Includes unamortized debt premiums, discounts and issuance costs totaling $ 22,256 and $ 24,208 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We estimated the fair values of our senior unsecured notes (except for our senior unsecured notes due 2050) using an average of the bid and ask price of the notes (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. We estimated the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2050 based on the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, (Level 1 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. We estimated the fair value of our mortgage note payable using discounted cash flow analyses and currently prevailing market rates (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP) as of the measurement date. Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair value may differ materially from the actual fair value.
Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity
Share Purchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we purchased an aggregate of 975 of our common shares of beneficial interest, $ 0.01 par value per share, or our common shares, valued at a weighted average share price of $ 13.50 from certain former officers and employees of RMR in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of our common shares.
Distributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we declared and paid regular quarterly distributions to common shareholders as follows:
Declaration Date Record Date Paid Date Distributions Per Common Share Total Distributions
January 12, 2023 January 23, 2023 February 16, 2023 $ 0.55 $ 26,710
On April 13, 2023, we declared a regular quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on April 24, 2023 in the amount of $ 0.25 per share, or approximately $ 12,100 . We expect to pay this distribution on or about May 18, 2023.
Note 8. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to our property level operations.

Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR, we recognized net business management fees of $ 3,951 and $ 4,710 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of March 31, 2023, no estimated incentive fees are included in the net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2023, if any, will be based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, for the three year period ending December 31, 2023, and will be payable in January 2024. We did no t incur an incentive fee payable to RMR for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 10. Subsequent Events
Pending Merger with Diversified Healthcare Trust
On April 11, 2023, we and Diversified Healthcare Trust, or DHC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereof, DHC will be merged with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving entity in the merger, or the Merger.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the date and time the Merger becomes effective, or the Effective Time, each common share of beneficial interest, $ 0.01 par value per share, of DHC, or the DHC Common Shares, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.147 (such ratio, the Exchange Ratio) of our common shares, subject to adjustment for certain reclassifications, distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions and other exceptional distributions as described in the Merger Agreement, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market price of our common shares or the DHC Common Shares prior to the Effective Time. Our common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding common shares of beneficial ownership of the surviving entity following the Merger. We expect to change our name from “Office Properties Income Trust” to “Diversified Properties Trust” at the Effective Time.
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof were evaluated, negotiated and recommended to our Board of Trustees, or our Board, by a special committee of our Board, or the OPI Special Committee, and to DHC’s board of trustees, or the DHC Board, by a special committee of DHC’s Board, or the DHC Special Committee, each consisting of disinterested, independent trustees of us and DHC, respectively. Following the recommendations of the OPI Special Committee and the DHC Special Committee, our Board and the DHC Board each approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and resolved to recommend that the OPI and DHC shareholders, respectively, vote in favor of approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby. Our shareholders will be asked to vote on the approval of the Merger and related matters, including the issuance of our common shares in the Merger, at a special meeting of our shareholders.
The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others: (1) the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding DHC Common Shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (2) the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our outstanding common shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (3) the approval of the issuance of our common shares to be issued in the Merger, or the Share Issuance, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes cast by holders of our outstanding common shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (4) the absence of any statute, rule or regulation by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction or any temporary, preliminary or permanent judgment, order or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction which would prohibit or make illegal or prevent the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (5) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, or the Form S-4, to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in connection with the Share Issuance; (6) the approval (subject to notice of issuance) of Nasdaq of the listing of our common shares to be issued in the Merger; (7) the extension or replacement of our existing revolving credit agreement, on terms that, among other things, would not be reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, operations or financial condition of us after giving effect to the Merger and would not delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger; (8) the receipt of certain tax opinions by us and DHC; and (9) the other party’s representations and warranties being accurate (subject to certain customary materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed or complied in all material respects with its agreements and covenants in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants providing that we and DHC will use reasonable best efforts to conduct our and its respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, and to refrain from taking certain types of actions without the other party’s consent during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, subject in each case to specified exceptions.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter, dated as of April 11, 2023, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., or JPM, pursuant to which JPM has committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions of the commitment letter, a senior secured bridge facility to us in an aggregate principal amount of $ 368,000 .
Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement and Letter Agreement
RMR serves as our and DHC’s manager and will continue to manage the surviving entity following the Merger. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on April 11, 2023, we and RMR entered into a Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, or the Amended Property Management Agreement. The effectiveness of the Amended Property Management Agreement is conditioned upon and will be concurrent with the consummation of the Merger. If the Merger is not consummated, the Amended Property Management Agreement will not become effective and the Second Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement, or the Current Property Management Agreement, will remain in effect.
Pursuant to the Amended Property Management Agreement, at the Effective Time properties currently owned by DHC that are subject to its existing property management agreement, including its medical office and life science properties, will become subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Property Management Agreement. Also pursuant to the Amended Property Management Agreement, RMR will be entitled to a renovation and repositioning fee equal to 3 % of the cost of any major capital projects and repositionings at senior living communities currently owned by DHC that the surviving entity may request RMR to oversee from time to time, consistent with DHC’s existing property management agreement with RMR. The terms of the Amended Property Management Agreement are otherwise consistent with the terms of the Current Property Management Agreement.
In addition, contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we, DHC and RMR entered into a letter agreement, or the RMR Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to conditions contained therein, DHC and RMR have acknowledged and agreed that, effective upon consummation of the Merger, DHC shall have terminated its business and property management agreements with RMR for convenience, and RMR shall have waived its right to receive payment of the termination fee pursuant to each such agreement upon such termination. The foregoing terminations and waivers apply only in respect of the Merger and do not apply to any other transaction or arrangement.
