DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)
 
Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diversified Healthcare Trust and its subsidiaries, or 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, 2023, or our 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. 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 our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets.
We have been, are currently, and expect in the future to be involved in claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, some of which may involve material amounts. Also, the defense and resolution of these claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings may require us to incur significant expense. We account for claims and litigation losses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. Under ASC 450, loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable and estimable losses at our best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at our estimate of the minimum loss. These estimates are often developed prior to knowing the amount of the ultimate loss, require the application of considerable judgment, and are refined as additional information becomes known. Accordingly, we are often initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss and therefore the estimated minimum loss amount, which could be zero, is recorded; and then, as information becomes known, the minimum loss amount is updated, as appropriate. A minimum or best estimate amount may be increased or decreased when events result in a changed expectation.
Note 2.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-07, which requires public entities to: (i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or the CODM, and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, in interim periods; and (iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. Public entities with a single reportable segment must apply all the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2023-07, as well as all the existing segment disclosures under ASC 280. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 are incremental to the requirements in ASC 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU No. 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance their annual income tax disclosures by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 3.  Real Estate and Other Investments
As of March 31, 2024, we owned 371 properties located in 36 states and Washington, D.C., including four properties classified as held for sale and two closed senior living communities, and we owned an equity interest in each of two unconsolidated joint ventures that own medical office and life science properties located in five states.
Acquisitions and Dispositions:
We did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold one property for a sales price of $3,600, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sale of this property does not represent a significant disposition and we do not believe this sale represents a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations for this property are included in continuing operations through the date of sale of such property in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As of March 31, 2024, we had four properties classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as follows:
Type of PropertyNumber of PropertiesReal Estate Properties, Net
Medical Office and Life Science3$34,245 
Senior Living11,525 
4$35,770 
As of May 2, 2024, we had two properties under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10,375, excluding closing costs. We may not complete the sales of any or all of the properties we currently plan to sell. Also, we may sell some or all of these properties at amounts that are less than currently expected and/or less than the carrying values of such properties and we may incur losses on any such sales as a result.
Impairment:
We regularly evaluate our assets for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows 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 an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated from those assets. The future cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $12,142 related to two medical office properties that were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024.

(3)This mortgage loan requires interest only payments until the anticipated repayment date on August 6, 2026, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest along with the principal balance of $620,000 is expected to be repaid. This mortgage loan matures on November 6, 2028 and any unpaid principal from the anticipated repayment date through the maturity date bears interest at a variable rate of the greater of 6.53% or the then effective U.S. swap rate for the swap terminating on the maturity date plus 5.00%.
(4)The debt securing these properties is non-recourse to us.
(5)This mortgage loan matures on February 9, 2025 and requires interest to be paid at an annual rate of the one month term secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a premium of 1.90%. This joint venture has also purchased an interest rate cap through February 2025 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 4.48% and an initial premium of $1,200. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is subject to two remaining one-year extension options.

We account for the unconsolidated joint venture for 10 medical office and life science properties in which we own a 20% equity interest, or the LSMD JV, and the unconsolidated joint venture for a life science property located in Boston, Massachusetts in which we own a 10% equity interest, or the Seaport JV, using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we recognized a $1,613 and $(647) change in the fair value of our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures. These amounts are included in equity in net earnings (losses) of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). See Note 6 for further information regarding the valuation of our investment in these joint ventures.
Equity Method Investment in AlerisLife:
As of March 31, 2024, we owned approximately 34.0% of the outstanding common shares of AlerisLife Inc., or AlerisLife. We account for our 34.0% non-controlling interest in AlerisLife using the equity method of accounting.
As of March 31, 2024, our investment in AlerisLife had a carrying value of $15,740. The cost basis of our investment in AlerisLife exceeded our proportionate share of AlerisLife's total stockholders' equity book value on the date of acquisition of our initial interest in AlerisLife, which was February 16, 2024, by an aggregate of $29,500. As required under GAAP, we are amortizing this difference to equity in earnings of an investee over 21 years, the weighted average remaining useful life of the real estate assets owned by AlerisLife and the intangible contract asset with us as of the date of acquisition. We recorded amortization of the basis difference of $174 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We recognized income of $111 related to our investment in AlerisLife for the three months ended March 31, 2024. These amounts are included in equity in net earnings (losses) of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). See Note 11 for further information regarding our investment in AlerisLife.

Note 4.  Leases
We are a lessor of medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the premises demised under the leases; therefore, we have determined to evaluate our leases as lease arrangements.
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.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $291 and $2,448 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding receivables related to our properties classified as held for sale, if any, include $74,704 and $75,306 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including 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 $11,350 and $11,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $11,284 and $11,924, respectively.
Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability: For leases where we are the lessee, we recognized a right of use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments with rental payments being applied to the lease liability and the right of use asset being amortized over the term of the lease. The values of the right of use assets and related liabilities representing our future obligation under the respective lease arrangements for which we are the lessee were $22,555 and $22,937, respectively, as of March 31, 2024, and $23,366 and $23,748, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. The right of use assets and related lease liabilities are included within other assets, net and other liabilities, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we lease equipment at certain of our managed senior living communities. These leases are short term in nature, are cancelable with no fee or do not result in an annual expense in excess of our capitalization policy and, as a result, are not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 5.  Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations, excluding any debt obligations of our joint ventures, at March 31, 2024 were: (1) $2,100,000 outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (2) $940,534 outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; and (3) $8,669 principal amount of mortgage debt secured by one property. The mortgaged property had a net book value of $13,466 at March 31, 2024. We also had two properties subject to finance leases that expire in 2026 with lease obligations totaling $3,528 at March 31, 2024; these two properties had an aggregate net book value of $22,365 at March 31, 2024.
Until its repayment in full on December 21, 2023, we had a $450,000 credit facility that was fully drawn. As of December 21, 2023, our former credit facility was paid off in full and the related credit agreement was terminated. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our former credit facility was 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In January 2023, pursuant to the credit agreement, we repaid $113,627 in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility and the commitments were reduced to $586,373. In February 2023, we and our lenders amended the credit agreement to reduce the commitments from $586,373 to $450,000 following our repayment of $136,373 in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility, and as a result of that reduction in commitments, we recorded a loss on modification or early extinguishment of debt of $1,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, all $940,534 of our senior secured notes due 2026 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and senior secured basis, by certain of our subsidiaries that own 95 properties, or the Collateral Guarantors, and on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all our subsidiaries other than the Collateral Guarantors and certain excluded subsidiaries, and all $500,000 of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and all $500,000 of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries. The notes and related guarantees (other than our senior secured notes and the guarantees provided by the
9

DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)
Collateral Guarantors) are effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and the notes and related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $1,100,000 of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees as of March 31, 2024.
Our senior secured notes due 2026 and the guarantees provided by the Collateral Guarantors are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in each of the collateral properties and 100% of the equity interests in each of the Collateral Guarantors. No cash interest will accrue on these notes prior to maturity. The accreted value of these notes will increase at a rate of 11.25% per annum compounded semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, such that the accreted value will equal the principal amount at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized discount accretion of $20,659 for our senior secured notes due 2026 in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We have a one-time option to extend the maturity date of these notes by one year, to January 15, 2027, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. If we exercise this option, interest payments will be due semiannually during the extension period at an initial interest rate of 11.25% with increases of 50 basis points every 90 days these notes remain outstanding.
Note 6.  Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The following table presents certain of our assets that are measured at fair value at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, categorized by the level of inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP, used in the valuation of each asset.

(1)The 10% equity interest we own in the Seaport JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are a discount rate of 8.00%, an exit capitalization rate of 6.00%, a holding period of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of the property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(2)The 20% equity interest we own in the LSMD JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are discount rates of between 6.50% and 8.00%, exit capitalization rates of between 4.75% and 7.00%, holding periods of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions we made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(3)We have assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $12,142 to reduce the carrying value of two medical office properties that are classified as held for sale to their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell, of $19,744 under agreements to sell that we have entered into with third parties. See Note 3 for further information about impairment charges and the properties we have classified as held for sale.
In addition to the assets described in the table above, our financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, certain other assets, senior unsecured notes, senior secured notes, secured debt and finance leases and certain other unsecured obligations and liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of such dates, except as follows:

(1)Includes unamortized net discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs.
(2)We assumed certain of these secured debts in connection with our acquisition of certain properties. We recorded the assumed mortgage notes at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and we are amortizing the fair value adjustments, if any, to interest expense over the respective terms of the mortgage notes to adjust interest expense to the estimated market interest rates as of the date of acquisition.
We estimated the fair values of our two issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2042 and 2046 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We estimated the fair values of our three issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2025, 2028 and 2031 and our issuance of senior secured notes due 2026 using an average of the bid and ask price on Nasdaq on or about March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimated the fair values of our secured debts by using discounted cash flows analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair values may differ materially from the actual fair values.
Note 7.  Shareholders' Equity
Common Share Purchases:
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we purchased an aggregate of 30,176 of our common shares, valued at a weighted average share price of $2.58 per common share, from certain former employees of RMR in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of prior awards of our common shares. We withheld and purchased these common shares at their fair market values based upon the trading prices of our common shares at the close of trading on Nasdaq on the applicable purchase dates.
Distributions:
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we declared and paid quarterly distributions to common shareholders as follows:
Declaration DateRecord DatePayment DateDistribution Per ShareTotal Distributions
January 11, 2024January 22, 2024February 15, 2024$0.01 $2,404 
On April 11, 2024, we declared a quarterly distribution to common shareholders of record on April 22, 2024 of $0.01 per share, or approximately $2,404. We expect to pay this distribution on or about May 16, 2024 using cash on hand.
Note 8.  Segment Reporting
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two segments: Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio and senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP. We aggregate the operating results of our properties in these two reporting segments based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. Our Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio segment primarily consists of medical office properties leased to medical providers and other medical related businesses, as well as life science properties primarily leased to biotech laboratories and other similar tenants. Our SHOP segment consists of managed

senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential living and, in some instances, care and other services for residents where we pay fees to managers to operate the communities on our behalf.
We also report “non-segment” operations, which consists of triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers that are leased to third party operators from which we receive rents, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.

Note 9. Senior Living Community Management Agreements
Our managed senior living communities are operated by third parties pursuant to management agreements. Five Star Senior Living, or Five Star, which is an operating division of AlerisLife, manages many of our SHOP communities. Five Star manages these communities for us pursuant to a master management agreement. AlerisLife guarantees the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable management agreements.
In connection with ABP Trust’s acquisition of AlerisLife on March 20, 2023, we amended the master management agreement with AlerisLife to eliminate any change of control default or event of default provisions. See Note 11 for further information regarding ABP Trust's acquisition of AlerisLife.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Five Star. Five Star managed 119 of our senior living communities as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs.
We incurred management fees payable to Five Star of $10,407 and $10,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $9,998 and $9,137, respectively, of the total management fees were expensed to property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $409 and $877, respectively, were capitalized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.

DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)
We incurred fees of $10 and $879 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with respect to rehabilitation services Five Star provided at our senior living communities that are payable by us. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
We lease to Five Star space at certain of our senior living communities, which it uses to provide certain outpatient rehabilitation and wellness services.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Other Third Party Managers. Several other third party managers managed 111 of our senior living communities as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by these third party managers to our TRSs.
In March 2024, we terminated our management agreement with one of our third party managers which manages certain of our communities located in Wisconsin and Illinois. We have transitioned these communities to another third party manager which we have an existing relationship with. The terms of the management agreement for these communities are generally consistent with the terms of the existing management agreements with our other third party managers. We paid termination and other fees of $1,106 during the second quarter of 2024, and expect to incur additional costs during 2024, related to the transition of these communities.
We incurred management fees payable to these third party managers of $5,725 and $5,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
The following table presents residents fees and services revenue from all of our managed senior living communities disaggregated by the type of contract and payer:

Note 10. 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 the property level operations of many of our properties, including our medical office and life science properties, and major renovation or repositioning activities at our senior living communities that we may request RMR to manage from time to time. See Note 11 for further information regarding our relationship, agreements and transactions with RMR.
We recognized net business management fees of $4,878 and $3,270 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include $849 of estimated incentive fees based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement. Although we recognized estimated incentive fees in accordance with GAAP, the actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2024, 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, 2024, and will be payable in January 2025. We did not incur any incentive fee payable for the year ended December 31, 2023. We recognize business management and incentive fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
We recognized aggregate net property management and construction supervision fees of $1,904 and $1,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $1,538 and $1,463, respectively, of the total property management fees were expensed to property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $366 and $529, respectively, were capitalized as building

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)
improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We are generally responsible for all our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR's employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR's employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our properties, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR's centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR's costs for providing our internal audit function, or as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR. We reimbursed RMR $3,728 and $3,533 for these expenses and costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or general and administrative expenses, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for these periods.
Management Agreements between our Joint Ventures and RMR. We have two separate joint venture arrangements with third party institutional investors, the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV. RMR provides management services to both of these joint ventures. Our joint ventures are not our consolidated subsidiaries and, as a result, we are not obligated to pay management fees to RMR under our management agreements with RMR for the services it provides regarding the joint ventures.
Note 11. Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR, RMR Inc., AlerisLife (including Five Star) and others related to them, including other companies to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services and some of which have trustees, directors or officers who are also our Trustees or officers. RMR Inc. is the majority owned subsidiary of RMR. The Chair of our Board of Trustees and one of our Managing Trustees, Adam D. Portnoy, is the sole trustee, an officer and the controlling shareholder of ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of RMR Inc., the chair of the board of directors, a managing director and the president and chief executive officer of RMR Inc., an officer and employee of RMR and, until the acquisition of AlerisLife by ABP Trust on March 20, 2023, the chair of the board of directors and a managing director of AlerisLife, and currently the sole director of AlerisLife. Jennifer F. Francis, our other Managing Trustee, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and a former managing director of AlerisLife served as an officer of RMR until December 31, 2023 and will remain an employee of RMR until her retirement on July 1, 2024. Our current President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer are also employees and officers of RMR. Jennifer B. Clark, our Secretary and former Managing Trustee, also serves as a managing director and the executive vice president, general counsel and secretary of RMR Inc., an officer and employee of RMR, an officer of ABP Trust and secretary of AlerisLife and, until March 20, 2023, a managing director of AlerisLife. Certain of AlerisLife's officers are officers and employees of RMR. Some of our Independent Trustees also serve as independent trustees of other public companies to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services. Mr. Portnoy serves as the chair of the board and as a managing trustee of these companies. Other officers of RMR, including Ms. Clark and certain of our officers, serve as managing trustees or officers of certain of these companies. In addition, officers of RMR and RMR Inc. serve as our officers and officers of other companies to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services. As of March 31, 2024, ABP Trust and Mr. Portnoy owned 9.8% of our outstanding common shares.
AlerisLife. Until March 20, 2023, we were AlerisLife's largest stockholder, owning approximately 31.9% of AlerisLife's outstanding common shares, and ABP Acquisition LLC, or ABP Acquisition, a subsidiary of ABP Trust, together with ABP Trust, owned approximately 6.1% of AlerisLife's outstanding common shares. Five Star is an operating division of AlerisLife. Five Star manages certain of the senior living communities we own. RMR provides management services to both us and AlerisLife.
On February 2, 2023, AlerisLife entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the ALR Merger Agreement, with certain subsidiaries of ABP Trust, pursuant to which ABP Trust acquired all of the publicly held outstanding AlerisLife common shares at a price of $1.31 per share by tender offer.
In connection with the ALR Merger Agreement, on February 2, 2023, we agreed to tender all the AlerisLife common shares that we and our subsidiary then owned, into the tender offer at the tender offer price, subject to the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, on or before December 31, 2023, AlerisLife common shares at the tender offer price, and otherwise pursuant to a stockholders agreement to be entered into at the time of any such purchase. On December 20, 2023, we and ABP Trust extended our right to purchase AlerisLife common shares until March 31, 2024.
15

DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)
On February 16, 2024, we exercised this purchase right and acquired, together with our applicable TRS, approximately 34.0% of the then outstanding AlerisLife common shares from ABP Trust at the tender offer price, for a total purchase price of $14,890, and we, our applicable TRS, ABP Trust and AlerisLife entered into a stockholders agreement. Following this acquisition, ABP Trust owns the remaining approximately 66.0% of AlerisLife.
See Note 9 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with AlerisLife (including Five Star).
Our Joint Ventures. In connection with our entering into the LSMD JV in January 2022, we paid mortgage escrow amounts and closing costs that were payable by that joint venture. The remaining costs totaled $6,080 as of March 31, 2024 and are included in other assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. RMR provides management services to each of the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV. See Note 10 for further information regarding those management agreements with RMR.
Our Manager, RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us. See Note 10 for further information regarding our management agreements with RMR.
Leases with RMR. We lease office space to RMR in certain of our properties for RMR’s property management offices. We recognized rental income from RMR for this leased office space of $109 and $61 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, see our Annual Report.
Note 12.  Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as such, are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We do, however, lease our managed senior living communities to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated federal corporate income tax return and are subject to federal and state income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state income taxes we incur despite our taxation as a REIT. Our current income tax expense (or benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our income, including gains on the disposition of properties or losses in a particular quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $187 and benefit of $31, respectively.
Note 13. Weighted Average Common Shares
We calculate basic earnings per common share using the two class method. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested share awards and other potentially dilutive common shares, together with the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted earnings per share.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report.
OVERVIEW
We are a REIT organized under Maryland law that primarily owns medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2024, we owned 371 properties located in 36 states and Washington, D.C., including four properties classified as held for sale and two closed senior living communities. At March 31, 2024, the gross book value of our real estate assets at cost plus certain acquisition costs, before depreciation and purchase price allocations and less impairment write downs, was $7.2 billion.
As of March 31, 2024, we owned an equity interest in each of the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV that own medical office and life science properties located in five states with an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million rentable square feet that were 98% leased with an average (by annualized rental income) remaining lease term of 5.1 years.
We are closely monitoring the impacts of the current economic and market conditions on all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, high interest rates, prolonged high inflation, labor market challenges, supply chain disruptions, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, geopolitical risks, economic downturns or a possible recession and changes in real estate utilization. We expect to experience continued volatility in labor, insurance and food costs in our SHOP segment.
In response to significant and prolonged increases in inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times since the beginning of 2022. Although the U.S. Federal Reserve has indicated that it may lower interest rates in 2024, we cannot be sure that it will do so, and interest rates may remain at the current high levels or continue to increase. These inflationary pressures in the United States, as well as global geopolitical instability and tensions, have given rise to uncertainty regarding economic downturns or a possible recession and potential disruptions in the financial markets. An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets, could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our managers, operators and tenants, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our managers, operators, tenants or residents to pay amounts owed to us, could impair our ability to effectively deploy our capital or realize our target returns on our investments, may restrict our access to, and would likely increase our cost of, capital, and may cause the values of our properties and of our securities to decline.
We are encouraged by positive trends, including increases in rates and occupancy, in our SHOP segment. Additionally, we expect that favorable supply and demand dynamics in the senior living industry will enable our managers to generate better returns at our communities than we experienced in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. While certain costs, primarily labor, insurance and food costs, have increased, we expect these cost increases to moderate, which will provide our managers the opportunity to increase rates in excess of increases in costs, resulting in improving returns to us.
For further information and risks relating to these economic uncertainties, including changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on our business and financial condition, see Part I, Item 1, "Business" and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we entered into renewal leases at three of our wellness centers totaling 129,600 square feet at rates that were 7.5% higher than prior rents for the same space at a weighted average lease term of five years. We did not incur any leasing costs or concessions commitments for these renewals.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars and square feet in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two segments: Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio and SHOP. We aggregate the operating results of our properties in these two reporting segments based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. Our Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio segment primarily consists of medical office properties leased to medical providers and other medical related businesses, as well as life science properties primarily leased to biotech laboratories and other similar tenants. Our SHOP segment consists of managed senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential living and, in some instances, care and other services for residents where we pay fees to managers to operate the communities on our behalf.
We also report “non-segment” operations, which consists of triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers that are leased to third party operators from which we receive rents, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.
The following table summarizes the results of operations of each of our segments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, wages and benefit costs of community level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, management fees, cleaning expense and other direct costs of operating these communities.

(2)Consists of properties that we have owned and which have been reported in the same segment and leased to the same operator continuously since January 1, 2023; excludes properties classified as held for sale, if any.
(3)All tenant operating data presented are based upon the operating results provided by our tenants for the most recent prior period for which tenant operating results are available to us. Rent coverage is calculated using the annualized operating cash flows from our triple net lease tenants' operations of our properties, before subordinated charges, if any, divided by annualized rental income. We have not independently verified tenant operating data. Excludes data for historical periods prior to our ownership of certain properties, as well as data for properties sold or classified as held for sale, if any, or for which there was a transfer of operations during the periods presented. Excludes rent coverage for one of our closed senior living communities, the tenant of which was in default under the applicable lease with us as of March 31, 2024.
Rental income. Rental income decreased at our comparable properties primarily due to a cash settlement and higher cash rents received during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from a tenant previously in default under leases for six of our wellness centers. In January 2023, we agreed to amend the lease for three of these wellness centers and repossess the remaining three wellness centers. The three wellness centers we repossessed were subsequently re-leased to other tenants.
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, insurance and other expenses that are not paid directly by our tenants. There was not a significant change in property operating expenses.
Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above.
Consolidated:
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the purchase of capital improvements at certain of our properties, partially offset by certain depreciable assets becoming fully depreciated and dispositions since January 1, 2023.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense consists of fees paid to RMR under our business management agreement, legal and accounting fees, fees and expenses of our Trustees, equity compensation expense and other costs relating to our status as a publicly traded company. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to $849 of estimated business management incentive fees that we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of our total shareholder return exceeding the returns for the MSCI U.S. REIT/Health Care REIT Index over the applicable measurement period and an increase in our business management fees of $759.
Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs. Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs incurred with acquisitions and non-recurring transactions that we expensed under GAAP.
23


Impairment of assets. For information about our asset impairment charges, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.
(Loss) gain on sale of properties. For information regarding (loss) gain on sale of properties, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.
Gains and losses on equity securities, net. Gains and losses on equity securities, net, represent the net unrealized losses to adjust our investment in AlerisLife to its fair value. For further information regarding our investment in AlerisLife, see Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Interest and other income. The decrease in interest and other income is primarily due to lower average invested cash balances, partially offset by increased interest rates on invested cash balances during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of $940,534 of our senior secured notes due 2026 in December 2023, resulting in discount accretion of $20,659 in the 2024 period. This increase was partially offset by the repayment and termination of our former credit facility and the redemption of $250,000 of our senior notes that were scheduled to mature in May 2024. The net proceeds from our $940,534 senior secured notes due 2026 were used to make these repayments aggregating $700,000.
Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.
Equity in net earnings (losses) of investees. Equity in net earnings (losses) of investees is the change in the fair value of our investments in our joint ventures and also represents our proportionate share of the earnings of our equity method investment in AlerisLife. For further information regarding our investment in AlerisLife, see Notes 3 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
We present certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including funds from operations, or FFO, normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, and NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss). We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.
Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO and Normalized FFO as shown below. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties, equity in net earnings or losses of investees, loss on impairment of real estate assets, gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, and including adjustments to reflect our proportionate share of FFO of our equity method investees, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO, we adjust for the items shown below including similar adjustments for our unconsolidated joint ventures, if any, and include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as an expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and reconciliations of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to FFO and Normalized FFO appear in the following table. This table also provides a comparison of distributions to shareholders, FFO and Normalized FFO and net income (loss) per share for these periods.

(1)Incentive fees under our business management agreement are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In calculating net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, we recognize estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although we recognize this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income (loss), we do not include these amounts in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined.
Property Net Operating Income (NOI)
We calculate NOI as shown below. The calculation of NOI excludes certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We define NOI as income from our real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of cash to meet operating and capital expenses, pay our debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are the operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay our debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for at least the next 12 months. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon:
our ability to receive rents from our tenants;
our ability to maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rates at, our properties;
our and our managers' abilities to control operating expenses and capital expenses at our properties, including increased operating expenses that we may incur in response to wage and commodity price inflation, limited labor availability and increased insurance costs; and
our managers' abilities to maintain or increase our returns from our managed senior living communities.
Although the senior living industry has been adversely affected by a slow recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as economic and market conditions, there have been signs of recovery. While we are encouraged by positive trends, including increases in rates and occupancy in our SHOP segment and favorable supply and demand dynamics in the senior living industry, generally, we cannot be sure that these trends will continue to benefit us and any benefits we do realize may be uneven. While we continue to experience volatility in labor, insurance and food costs in our SHOP segment, we expect increases in these costs to moderate and we continue to work with our senior living operators to manage these costs and to increase rates and occupancy at our communities, which we believe will enable our managers to generate better returns to us.
27

We also continue to invest capital in our SHOP segment in order to capitalize on these positive trends and increase the probability of higher cash flows to us.
On December 21, 2023, we completed a private offering of $940.5 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior secured notes due January 2026, with a one-year extension option. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $730.4 million after deducting initial purchaser discounts and estimated offering costs. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full the $450.0 million outstanding under our then secured credit facility and to redeem $250.0 million of our senior notes that were scheduled to mature in May 2024. As a result of these transactions, we have no significant debt maturities until June 2025 when $500.0 million of our senior notes will become due, and as of March 31, 2024, we had $207.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service is above the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our senior notes, on a pro forma basis. We are able to refinance existing or maturing debt and issue new debt as long as this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis at the time of such refinancing or issuance.
Until its repayment in full and termination on December 21, 2023, we had a $450.0 million credit facility that was fully drawn.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold one property for a sales price of $3.6 million, excluding closing costs. As of May 2, 2024, we had two properties under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10.4 million, excluding closing costs. We may not complete the sales of any or all of the properties we currently plan to sell. Also, we may sell some or all of these properties at amounts that are less than currently expected and/or less than the carrying values of such properties and we may incur losses on any such sales as a result.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (dollars in thousands):
 Three Months Ended March 31,
 20242023
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period$246,961 $688,302 
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities28,602 6,042 
Investing activities(58,839)(56,744)
Financing activities(8,561)(254,931)
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period$208,163 $382,669 
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources
We generally receive minimum rents from tenants at our medical office and life science properties, triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers monthly, we receive residents fees and services revenues, net of expenses, from our managed senior living communities monthly and we receive percentage rents from tenants at certain of our senior living communities monthly, quarterly or annually.
The change in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to increased NOI as a result of increased rates and occupancy at the senior living communities in our SHOP segment. Additionally, cash interest payments decreased in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period primarily due to the repayment and termination of our former credit facility and the redemption of $250.0 million of senior notes that were scheduled to mature in May 2024.
Our Investing Liquidity and Resources
The change in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to our purchase on February 16, 2024 of approximately 34.0% of the then outstanding AlerisLife common shares from ABP Trust at the tender offer price of $1.31 per share for a total purchase price, including transaction related costs, of $15.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in real estate improvements in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period.

Total development, redevelopment and other activities$1,902 $18,145 
(1)Lease related costs generally include capital expenditures to improve tenants' space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and other leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and tenant inducements.
(2)Building improvements generally include capital expenditures to replace obsolete building components that extend the useful life of existing assets or other improvements to increase the marketability of the property.
(3)Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include capital expenditures that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenue.
We generally plan to continue investing capital in our properties, including redevelopment projects, to better position these properties in their respective markets in order to increase our returns in future years. However, we have deferred, and may continue to defer, our capital expenditures to preserve liquidity.
As of March 31, 2024, we had estimated unspent leasing related obligations at our triple net leased wellness centers and our medical office and life science properties of approximately $43.2 million, of which we expect to spend approximately $33.1 million during the next 12 months. We expect to fund these obligations using operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities, cash on hand, proceeds from the disposition of certain properties and future financing activities with unencumbered properties.
We are currently in the process of redeveloping certain properties in our Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio and a number of our managed senior living communities, which projects are expected to be completed at various times between 2024 and 2025. We continue to assess opportunities to redevelop other properties in our Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio and SHOP segment. These redevelopment projects may require significant capital expenditures and time to complete, and we have deferred, and may in the future defer, certain redevelopment projects to preserve liquidity.
Due to labor availability constraints and wage and commodity price inflation, the capital investments we plan to make may be delayed or cost more than we expect. For further information regarding our dispositions, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our Financing Liquidity and Resources
The change in cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to higher repayments of borrowings under our former credit facility during the 2023 period.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $207.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. We typically use cash balances, net proceeds from offerings of securities, debt issuances or dispositions of assets and cash flows from our operations to fund our operations, debt repayments, distributions, acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures and other general business purposes.
Until its repayment in full and termination on December 21, 2023, we had a $450.0 million credit facility that was fully drawn. At December 21, 2023, our former credit facility required interest to be paid on borrowings at an annual rate of 8.4%, plus a facility fee of $0.3 million per quarter.
29

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid quarterly cash distributions to our shareholders totaling approximately $2.4 million using existing cash balances. On April 11, 2024, we declared a quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on April 22, 2024 in the amount of $0.01 per share, or approximately $2.4 million. We expect to pay this distribution on or about May 16, 2024 using cash on hand. For further information regarding the distribution we paid during 2023, see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We believe we may have access to certain types of financings, including debt or equity offerings, to fund our operations and repay our debts and other obligations as they become due. Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt or equity transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness and our ability to be in compliance with our debt covenants as discussed below. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit and debt ratings depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out that intention. A protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate, wage and commodity price inflation, high interest rates, increased insurance costs, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including the delayed recovery of the senior housing industry, economic downturns and a possible recession, may have various negative consequences including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, those conditions could also disrupt capital markets and limit our access to financing from public sources, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions.
In January 2023, pursuant to the then existing credit agreement, we repaid $113.6 million in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility and the commitments were reduced to $586.4 million. In February 2023, we and our lenders amended the credit agreement to reduce the commitments from $586.4 million to $450.0 million following our repayment of $136.4 million in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility.
In December 2023, we issued $940.5 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of our senior secured notes due 2026 in a private offering, raising net proceeds of $730.4 million, after deducting initial purchaser discounts and estimated offering costs. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and senior secured basis, by the Collateral Guarantors, and on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all our subsidiaries other than the Collateral Guarantors and certain excluded subsidiaries. These notes and the guarantees provided by the Collateral Guarantors are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in each of the collateral properties and 100% of the equity interests in each of the Collateral Guarantors. No cash interest will accrue on these notes prior to maturity. The accreted value of these notes will increase at a rate of 11.25% per annum compounded semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay in full and terminate our then $450.0 million secured credit facility and to redeem $250.0 million of our senior notes which were scheduled to mature in May 2024.
In January 2024, Moody's Investors Service, or Moody's, upgraded our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 ratings from Ca to Caa3 and our senior unsecured debt rating from C to Ca, and Moody's also assigned a Caa2 rating to our senior secured notes due 2026.
In January 2024, Standard & Poor's Rating Services, or Standard & Poor's, upgraded our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 rating from CCC+ to B, our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 rating from CCC+ to B and our senior unsecured debt rating from CCC- to CCC, and Standard & Poor's also assigned a B rating to our senior secured notes due 2026.
For further information regarding our outstanding debt, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Debt Covenants
Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2024 were: (1) $2.1 billion outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (2) $940.5 million outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; and (3) $8.7 million aggregate principal amount of mortgage notes (excluding discounts, premiums and net debt issuance costs) secured by one property. For further information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
30

Our senior notes are governed by our senior notes indentures and their supplements. Our senior notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default. Our senior notes indentures and their supplements also contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts and require us to maintain various financial ratios. As of March 31, 2024, we believe we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our senior notes indentures and their supplements and our other debt obligations. Although we continue to take steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from wage or commodity price inflation, high interest rates, geopolitical risks or other economic, market or industry conditions, including the delayed recovery of the senior housing industry, economic downturns or a possible recession, may cause increased pressure on our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants. If our operating results and financial condition are significantly negatively impacted by economic conditions or otherwise, we may fail to satisfy our debt covenants and conditions.
Our senior notes indentures and their supplements do not contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. See "—Our Financing Liquidity and Resources" above for information regarding recent changes to our issuer credit rating and senior debt ratings.
Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of more than $20.0 million ($50.0 million or more in the case of our senior notes indentures and supplements entered in February 2016, February 2018, June 2020, February 2021 and December 2023).
The loan agreements governing the aggregate $620.0 million secured debt financing related to the Seaport JV contain customary covenants and provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default. We no longer include this $620.0 million of secured debt financing in our condensed consolidated balance sheet following the deconsolidation of the net assets of this joint venture; however, we continue to provide certain guaranties on this debt. The debt secured by the properties included in the LSMD JV in which we own a 20% equity interest is guaranteed by this joint venture and is non-recourse to us.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
On May 28, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025. We subsequently redeemed $500.0 million of this debt in June 2022, with $500.0 million remaining outstanding. On February 3, 2021, we issued $500.0 million of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031. As of March 31, 2024, all $500.0 million of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and all $500.0 million of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries. The notes and related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $1.1 billion of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees.
A subsidiary guarantor's guarantee of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, as applicable, and all other obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under the indenture governing the notes will automatically terminate and such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under such subsidiary guarantee and the indenture under certain circumstances, including on or after the date (a) the notes have an investment grade rating from two rating agencies and one of such investment grade ratings is a mid-BBB investment grade rating and (b) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due on our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 or our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 or the respective guarantees, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payments. The rights of holders of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, as applicable, to benefit from any of the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries are subject to the prior satisfaction of claims of those subsidiaries' creditors and any preferred equity holders. As a result, our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 and the respective guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness, guarantees and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, including guarantees of other indebtedness of ours, payment obligations under lease agreements, trade payables and preferred equity.

Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR, RMR Inc., AlerisLife (including Five Star) and others related to them. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 9, 10 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of 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 our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2023.
Impact of Government Reimbursement
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, substantially all of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants' and residents' private resources, and a small amount of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from Medicare and Medicaid payments. Nonetheless, we own, and our tenants, managers and operators operate, facilities in many states that participate in federal and state healthcare payment programs, including the federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare payment programs. Also, some of our medical office and life science property tenants participate in federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other government healthcare payment programs.
32

For more information regarding the government healthcare funding and regulation of our business, please see the section captioned “Business—Government Regulation and Reimbursement” in our Annual Report and the section captioned “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of Government Reimbursement” in our Annual Report.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.
We may in the future enter into hedge arrangements or derivative contracts from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.
Fixed Rate Debt
There have been no material changes to market interest rate risks associated with our fixed rate debt during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For a discussion of market interest rate risks associated with our fixed rate debt, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in Part II, Item 7A of our 2023 Annual Report.
Floating Rate Debt
At March 31, 2024, we did not have any floating rate debt obligations.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(a)amend, modify or waive any provision of the Charter or Bylaws or the governing documents of such Subsidiary or enter into, amend, modify or waive any provision of any written agreement among the Company and any of its stockholders or such Subsidiary and any of its equityholders (other than this Agreement which can only be amended pursuant to Section 8.10), in each case, in a manner (i) disproportionately adverse to the DHC Parties as compared to all other stockholders of the Company holding the same class of Company Shares as the DHC Parties or (ii) materially adverse to the DHC Parties (it being understood the amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of the Charter or Bylaws or any such governing documents or the entering into, or amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of, any such agreements to permit the authorization and effect the issuance of Company Shares with preferences or priorities over the Company Common Stock shall not be deemed adverse to the DHC Parties in their capacity as holders of Company Common Stock; provided, that any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of the Charter or Bylaws or the governing documents of a Subsidiary or the entering into, or amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of, any agreements among the Company and any of its stockholders or a Subsidiary and any of its equityholders that would cause the Company to be in breach of, or be otherwise unable to comply with its obligations under, this Agreement shall be deemed materially adverse to the DHC Parties); or

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
Section 3.01General Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)Except for Permitted Transfers or in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 3.06 or Section 3.07, each Stockholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily Transfer any of its Company Shares. Any Company Shares transferred to a Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 3.06 or Section 3.07 shall cease to be subject to this Agreement.
(b)In addition to any legends required by Applicable Law and any legends set forth in the Organizational Documents, any certificate representing the Company Shares held by a Stockholder shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY). NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT AND (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE,
8



BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT.”
(c)Each Stockholder shall give notice to the Company and the other Stockholders prior to any proposed Transfer (whether or not a Permitted Transfer) of any of its Company Shares. In connection with the consummation of any Transfer by a Stockholder of any of its Company Shares (including by operation of law) to a Permitted Transferee, such Permitted Transferee shall be required to execute and deliver to the Company and each other Stockholder, a Joinder Agreement; it being understood that such Permitted Transferee shall automatically be deemed to be a party to, and shall be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, whether or not such Permitted Transferee has executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 4.04(b), each Stockholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, Transfer any of its Company Shares (i) if it would cause a violation of the Securities Act or other applicable federal or state securities laws (it being understood that, upon request by the Company, there must be delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act), (ii) if it would cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (iii) if it would cause the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be deemed plan assets as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company.
(e)Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Company Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the purported transferor shall continue be treated) as the owner of the Company Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.
Section 3.02Right of First Offer.
(a)Subject to Section 3.06(g), one or more DHC Parties (the “Electing DHC Parties”) may Transfer all or any portion of their Company Shares to a Third Party Purchaser; provided, however, that any such Transfer must be in compliance with this Section 3.02; and, provided further, that the DHC Parties may only initiate a Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.02 once in any calendar year.
(b)Prior to Transferring any Company Shares to any Third Party Purchaser, the Electing DHC Parties shall provide ABP with notice (a “DHC Offer Notice”) of their desire to Transfer some or all of their Company Shares to a Third Party.
(c)The DHC Offer Notice shall specify the number of Company Shares that the Electing DHC Parties desire to Transfer (such Company Shares, the “Offered Shares”) and shall include a valuation (without any reduction for minority interests) of the Offered Shares from a Third Party Valuation Firm (the “DHC ROFO Price”), together with reasonable supporting information. Upon request of the Electing DHC Parties, the Company and ABP shall provide the Third Party Valuation Firm appointed by the Electing DHC Parties to determine the DHC ROFO Price with such information related to the Offered Shares, the Company and ABP as such Third Party Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. Except as provided in Section 3.06(g), the Electing DHC Parties shall bear the costs of such Third Party Valuation Firm.
(d)Upon receipt of the DHC Offer Notice, ABP shall have ten (10) Business Days (the “Initial ROFO Exercise Period”) to elect, by delivering notice to the Electing DHC Parties, that ABP will (i) purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares at the DHC ROFO Price (a “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) or (ii) provide the Electing DHC Parties with a valuation of the Offered Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) from an alternative Third Party Valuation Firm (a “ROFO Alternative Value”), together with reasonable supporting information, within forty-five (45) days after the end of the Initial ROFO Exercise Period (such notice, a “ROFO Alternative Value Notice”). Any ROFO Acceptance Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by ABP.
9



(e)If ABP delivers a ROFO Acceptance Notice during the Initial ROFO Exercise Period, the Electing DHC Parties shall sell, and ABP shall purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares at the DHC ROFO Price. If ABP does not deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice or a ROFO Alternative Value Notice during the Initial ROFO Exercise Period, or if it delivers a ROFO Alternative Value Notice but does not thereafter provide the ROFO Alternative Value when and as required by Section 3.02(f)(i), then ABP shall be deemed to have waived its rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02 with respect to such DHC Offer Notice.
(f)If ABP provides a ROFO Alternative Value Notice during the Initial ROFO Exercise Period, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)the ROFO Alternative Value Notice shall specify the Third Party Valuation Firm selected by ABP to provide the ROFO Alternative Value, which Third Party Valuation Firm shall be required to deliver to the Electing DHC Parties and ABP within forty-five (45) days after the end of the Initial ROFO Exercise Period its determination of the ROFO Alternative Value, together with reasonable supporting information. ABP shall bear the costs of the Third Party Valuation Firm appointed by it.
(ii)If the ROFO Alternative Value is at least ninety percent (90%) and not more than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the DHC ROFO Price, then ABP shall have the right, to be exercised within three (3) Business Days of the date of the delivery of the ROFO Alternative Value, to again send a ROFO Acceptance Notice and if ABP sends a ROFO Acceptance Notice, ABP shall purchase, and the Electing DHC Parties shall sell, all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares to ABP at the average of the DHC ROFO Price and the ROFO Alternative Value.
(iii)If the ROFO Alternative Value is greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the DHC ROFO Price or less than ninety percent (90%) of the DHC ROFO Price, then ABP and the Electing DHC Parties shall jointly appoint a Joint Valuation Firm to determine the value of the Offered Shares, which shall be instructed to provide the Electing DHC Parties and ABP with its determination of the value of the Offered Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) (the “Determined ROFO Price”), together with reasonable supporting information, within thirty (30) days of its appointment. The Joint Valuation Firm shall be provided with the prior valuations of the Offered Shares obtained by the Electing DHC Parties and ABP, but shall not be obligated to base its determination on such valuations. ABP shall also provide the Joint Valuation Firm such additional information related to the Offered Shares and ABP as the Joint Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. Except as provided in Section 3.06(g), the cost of the Joint Valuation Firm will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Electing DHC Parties and fifty percent (50%) by ABP or as they may otherwise agree. The Joint Valuation Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and the decision of the Joint Valuation Firm as to the Determined ROFO Price, absent manifest error, shall be final and non-appealable.
(iv)If the Determined ROFO Price is greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the DHC ROFO Price or less than ninety percent (90%) of the DHC ROFO Price, the Electing DHC Parties shall have ten (10) days following delivery of the Determined ROFO Price (the “Withdrawal Period”) to provide ABP with notice of their withdrawal of the DHC Offer Notice, in which event, the Electing DHC Parties shall not be permitted to sell the Offered Shares to a Third Party Purchaser without sending a new DHC Offer Notice in accordance with, and otherwise complying with, this Section 3.02. If the DHC Parties do not send notice of their withdrawal of the DHC Offer Notice during the Withdrawal Period, then ABP shall have ten (10) days following the end of the Withdrawal Period (the “Second ROFO Exercise Period”) to again deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice to the Electing DHC Parties and in such event the Electing DHC Parties shall sell, and ABP shall purchase all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares at the Determined ROFO Price. If ABP does not deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice during the Second ROFO Exercise Period, it shall be deemed to have waived its rights to purchase the Offered Shares under this Section 3.02 with respect to such DHC Offer Notice.
(g)The closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares to ABP pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall occur on a date that is not later than seventy-five (75) days after the date on which ABP delivers a ROFO Acceptance Notice pursuant to this Section 3.02, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Electing DHC Parties and ABP. At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares to ABP pursuant to this Section 3.02, ABP shall deliver to the Electing DHC Parties the purchase price for the Offered Shares as determined pursuant to this Section 3.02 by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Electing DHC Parties shall deliver to ABP the certificate(s) representing the Offered Shares, if any,
10



(or an affidavit of loss with respect to such certificate(s)) accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary.
(h)If ABP does not deliver a ROFO Acceptance Notice or a ROFO Alternative Value Notice during the Initial ROFO Exercise Period or a ROFO Acceptance Notice during the Second ROFO Exercise Period, or has otherwise waived or been deemed to have waived its rights to purchase the Offered Shares, the Electing DHC Parties may, during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period immediately following the later of the expiration of the Initial ROFO Exercise Period or the Second ROFO Exercise Period, as applicable (the “Waived ROFO Transfer Period”), Transfer all of the Offered Shares to a Third Party Purchaser at a price not less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the lesser of the DHC ROFO Price, the average of the DHC ROFO Price and the ROFO Alternative Value or the Determined ROFO Price. If the Electing DHC Parties do not Transfer the Offered Shares within the Waived ROFO Transfer Period, the Electing DHC Parties may not Transfer the Offered Shares unless the Electing DHC Parties send a new DHC Offer Notice in accordance with, and otherwise comply with, this Section 3.02.
(i)Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Transfer contemplated by this Section 3.02, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.
(j)During the Waived ROFO Transfer Period, neither the Company nor any Initial Stockholder Party shall engage in any marketing for sale or sale of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether by merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries) or any Company Shares (including by way of issuance of Company Shares, but other than the Offered Shares on behalf of the Electing DHC Parties) and the Company and ABP shall provide the Electing DHC Parties with reasonable assistance and cooperation at the Electing DHC Parties’ expense in connection with their marketing and sale of their Offered Shares.
(k)ABP’s rights under this Section 3.02 to acquire the Offered Shares may be assigned in whole or in part to the Company or any other Stockholder.
Section 3.03Drag-along Rights.
(a)Drag-along Rights. For so long as the Initial Stockholder Parties own, or hold voting control over, in aggregate at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Company Shares on a fully diluted basis, if such Stockholders (the “Dragging Stockholders”) receive a bona fide offer from a Third Party Purchaser to consummate, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, a Company Change of Control (a “Drag-along Sale”), and if the Dragging Stockholders have delivered a copy of such bona fide offer from such Third Party Purchaser to the Company and each DHC Party and each other Stockholder, then the Dragging Stockholders shall have the right to require that each DHC Party and other Stockholder (each, a “Drag-along Stockholder” and the Drag-along Stockholders, the Dragging Stockholders, and any other stockholders of the Company participating in the Drag-along Sale, the “Drag-along Participating Stockholders”) participate in such Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 3.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 4.04(b), each Dragging Stockholder and each Drag-along Stockholder shall vote in favor of the Transfer and take all actions to approve such transaction and to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other similar rights.
(b)Exercise. The Dragging Stockholders shall exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 3.03 by delivering a notice (the “Drag-along Notice”) to each Drag-along Stockholder no later than thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of such Drag-along Sale. The Drag-along Notice shall set forth:
(i)the total number of Company Shares to be sold in the Drag-along Sale to the Third Party Purchaser if the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Company Shares and the percentage of the outstanding Company Shares represented by such Company Shares;
(ii)the identity of the Third Party Purchaser;
(iii)the proposed date and time of the closing, if known, of the Drag-along Sale;
11



(iv)the per Company Share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and
(v)a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.
(c)Amount of Company Shares Transferred. If the Drag-along Sale is structured as a Transfer of Company Shares, then, subject to Section 3.03(d) and Section 3.05, each Drag-along Participating Stockholder shall Transfer the amount of Company Shares equal to the product of (i) the total amount of Company Shares to be sold to the Third Party Purchaser as stated in the Drag-along Notice, and (ii) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the amount of Company Shares then held by such Drag-along Participating Stockholder, and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the amount of Company Shares then held in aggregate by the Drag-along Participating Stockholders.
(d)Consideration; Representations. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03(d) and Section 3.05, the consideration to be received by each Drag-along Participating Stockholder in the Drag-along Sale shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Company Share (or, if Third Party Purchaser gives any Drag-along Participating Stockholder an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given to each Drag-along Participating Stockholder) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall be the same for all Drag-along Participating Stockholders; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any DHC Party be required to accept any consideration having a minimum value less than the Base Price. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Drag-along Stockholder be required to: (i) accept any consideration in a Drag-along Sale other than cash or freely marketable publicly traded securities; (ii) enter into any non-compete, non-solicitation or similar agreements in connection with such Drag-along Sale; or (iii) make any representations, warranties or indemnities other than with respect to such Drag-along Stockholder’s ownership of its Company Shares and its power and right to enter into and consummate such Drag-along Sale; provided, however, that each Drag-along Stockholder may be required to participate in any indemnities with respect to representations related to the Company made to the Third Party Purchaser on a pro rata basis with the other Drag-along Participating Stockholders based on the aggregate consideration received by such Drag-along Participating Stockholder (except with respect to representations and warranties or covenants or indemnities as to any specific Drag-along Participating Stockholder for which only such Drag-along Participating Stockholder shall be responsible), so long as the aggregate indemnification obligations and liability for fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of the Company of any Drag-along Stockholder in connection with such Drag-along Sale do not exceed the actual amount of proceeds received by such Drag-along Stockholder in such Drag-along Sale and in no event shall any Drag-along Participating Stockholder be liable to a Third Party Purchaser for any fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of any other Drag-along Participating Stockholder.
(e)Expenses. The fees and expenses of each Dragging Stockholder incurred in connection with a Drag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Drag-along Participating Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Dragging Stockholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Drag-along Participating Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third Party Purchaser, shall be shared on a pro rata basis by each Drag-along Participating Stockholder based on the aggregate consideration received by such Drag-along Participating Stockholder in the Drag-along Sale; provided, that no Drag-along Stockholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Drag-along Sale.
(f)Cooperation. Each Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Drag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates, assignments and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates, as applicable, being delivered by each Dragging Stockholder and the terms of this Section 3.03.
(g)Timing of Closing. The Dragging Stockholders shall have one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of the Drag-along Notice in which to consummate the Drag-along Sale, on the terms set forth in the Drag-along Notice and the terms of this Section 3.03 (which one hundred and eighty (180) day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any required approvals or consents). If at the end of such period the Dragging Stockholders have not completed the Drag-along Sale, then the Dragging Stockholders may not thereafter effect a Transfer of Company Shares pursuant to this Section 3.03 without again sending a new Drag-along Notice and complying with the provisions of this Section 3.03.
12



Section 3.04Tag-along Rights.
(a)Tag-along Rights. If at any time one or more Initial Stockholder Parties (the “Selling Stockholders”) propose to Transfer any of their Company Shares to a Third Party Purchaser (the “Proposed Transferee”), and if such Selling Stockholders cannot or have not elected to exercise the rights of Dragging Stockholders set forth in Section 3.03 in connection with such Transfer (a “Tag-along Sale”), then each DHC Party and each other Stockholder (each, a “Tag-along Stockholder” and the Selling Stockholders, the Tag-along Stockholders and any other stockholders of the Company participating in such Tag-along Sale, collectively, the “Tag-along Participating Stockholders”) shall be permitted to participate in such Tag-along Sale with respect to the Company Shares owned by such Tag-along Stockholder on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04.
(b)Notice. The Selling Stockholders shall deliver to the Company and each Tag-along Stockholder a notice (a “Sale Notice”) of the proposed Tag-along Sale no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the closing date of such Tag-along Sale. The Sale Notice shall set forth:
(i)the total number of Company Shares the Proposed Transferee has offered to acquire and the percentage of the outstanding Company Shares represented by such Company Shares;
(ii)the number of Company Shares that the Selling Stockholders propose to Transfer in the Tag-along Sale and the percentage of the outstanding Company Shares owned by the Selling Stockholders represented by such Company Shares;
(iii)the identity of the Proposed Transferee;
(iv)the proposed date and time of the closing, if known, of the Tag-along Sale;
(v)the per Company Share purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Transfer, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; and
(vi)a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.
(c)Exercise. Each Tag-along Stockholder shall exercise its right to participate in a Tag-along Sale by delivering to the Selling Stockholders a notice (a “Tag-along Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of its Company Shares it desires to Transfer in such Tag-along Sale (up to the maximum number it is permitted to Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.04) no later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-along Period”). The election by a Tag-along Stockholder set forth in its Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable except as provided in this Section 3.04(c), and such Tag-along Stockholder shall be bound and obligated, and entitled, to Transfer such Company Shares in the proposed Tag-along Sale on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.04. Each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right to Transfer in a Tag-along Sale up to the same percentage of its Company Shares as the percentage of the Company Shares held by the Selling Stockholders being Transferred in such Tag-along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate number of Company Shares that the Tag-along Participating Stockholders have elected to Transfer in the Tag-along Sale exceeds the number of Company Shares that the Proposed Transferee is willing to acquire, then the number of Company Shares that each Tag-along Participating Stockholder will Transfer in the Tag-along Sale shall be proportionately reduced until the aggregate number of Company Shares that the Tag-along Participating Stockholders will Transfer in such Tag-along Sale equals the number of Company Shares that the Proposed Transferee is willing to acquire; provided, that in no event will the number of Company Shares that the Tag-along Stockholder is permitted to sell in the Tag-along Sale be reduced to less than the same percentage of such Tag-along Stockholder’s Company Shares as the percentage of the Company Shares held by the Selling Stockholders being Transferred in such Tag-along Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms of, or agreements for, a Tag-along Sale materially change from those provided in the Sale Notice or if the percentage of the Company Shares owned by the Selling Stockholders to be Transferred in the Tag-along Sale shall change from the percentage set forth in the Sale Notice, the Selling Stockholders shall deliver to each Tag-along Stockholder (whether or not such Tag-along Stockholder has previously sent a timely Tag-along Notice) an updated Sale Notice reflecting such changes and each Tag-along Stockholder shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days, to elect to participate in, change its participation in or withdraw its participation in such Tag-along Sale.
13



(d)Transfer. A Tag-along Stockholder who does not deliver a timely Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 3.04(c) shall be deemed to have waived its rights to participate in such Transfer and the Selling Stockholders shall (subject to the rights of any other Tag-along Stockholders who have provided a timely Tag-along Notice) thereafter be free to Transfer to the Proposed Transferee its Company Shares at a per Company Share price that is not greater than one hundred and two percent (102%) of the per Company Share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable in the aggregate to the Selling Stockholders than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Stockholders.
(e)Consideration; Representations. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04(e) and Section 3.05, the consideration to be received by a Tag-along Stockholder in the Tag-along Sale shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Company Share to be received by the Selling Stockholders (or, if the Selling Stockholders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, the same option shall be given to each Tag-along Stockholder) and the terms and conditions of such Transfer shall be the same as those upon which each Selling Stockholder Transfers its Company Shares. Each Tag-along Stockholder shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as each Selling Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Stockholders or any other Tag-along Participating Stockholder, a Tag-along Stockholder shall only make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that (i) the Selling Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities to be made by each Tag-along Participating Stockholder to be several and not joint obligations of the Tag-along Participating Stockholders and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by each Tag-along Stockholder, any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations, warranties and covenants (other than those that pertain to an individual Tag-along Participating Stockholder, which shall be the sole obligation of such Tag-along Participating Stockholder) shall be borne on a pro rata basis by each Tag-along Participating Stockholder based on the aggregate consideration received by such Tag-along Participating Stockholder in such Tag-along Sale; provided, that in no event shall (x) the amount of the indemnification obligation and liability for fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of the Company of a Tag-along Stockholder exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Tag-along Stockholder in such Tag-along Sale; (y) any Tag-along Stockholder be required to enter into any non-compete, non-solicitation or similar agreements in connection with such Tag-along Sale and (z) in no event shall any Tag-along Stockholder be liable for any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any other stockholder of the Company.
(f)Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Selling Stockholders incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Tag-along Participating Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders for their sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Tag-along Participating Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by each Tag-along Participating Stockholder on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by such Tag-along Participating Stockholder; provided, that no Tag-along Stockholder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-along Sale.
(g)Cooperation. Each Tag-along Stockholder shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates, assignments, and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates, as applicable, being delivered by the Selling Stockholders and the terms of this Section 3.04.
(h)Timing of Closing. The Selling Stockholders shall have ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to consummate such Tag-along Sale to the Proposed Transferee, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice and this Section 3.04 (which ninety (90) day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional ninety (90) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any required approvals and consents). If at the end of such period the Selling Stockholders have not completed such Transfer, then the Selling Stockholders may not thereafter effect a Transfer of Company Shares subject to this Section 3.04 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.04.
Section 3.05Multiple Classes of Shares. If at any time the Company has more than one class of Company Shares which may impact the application of the provisions of Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 in connection with a Drag-along
14



Sale or a Tag-along Sale, respectively, including in connection with the consideration to be paid by the Third Party Purchaser for any class of Company Shares, the Directors and the Drag-along Participating Stockholders and Tag-along Participating Stockholders shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate to apply Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, as applicable, in good faith in a reasonable and equitable manner in consideration of the capital structure of the Company, in order to carry out the intent of such provisions; provided, that there shall be no minority or other similar discount for less than a controlling interest or for nonvoting Company Shares, and no premium for voting Company Shares or a controlling interest, in the Company.
Section 3.06Repurchase Rights.
(a)Subject to Section 3.06(g), following a Termination Event, ABP shall have the right (a “Repurchase Right”), exercised by notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) given to the DHC Parties any time prior to the one year anniversary of such Termination Event, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Company Shares then owned by the DHC Parties (the “Repurchase Shares”). The Repurchase Notice shall include a valuation (without any reduction for minority interests) of the Repurchase Shares as of the date of the Termination Event from a Third Party Valuation Firm (the “Repurchase Price”), together with reasonable supporting information.
(b)Upon receipt of the Repurchase Notice, the DHC Parties shall have ten (10) Business Days (the “Repurchase Exercise Period”), to elect, by delivering notice to ABP, that the DHC Parties will (i) sell the Repurchase Shares at the Repurchase Price (the “Repurchase Acceptance Notice”) or (ii) provide ABP with a valuation of the Repurchase Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) as of the date of the Termination Event from an alternate Third Party Valuation Firm (a “Repurchase Alternative Value”), together with reasonable supporting information, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Repurchase Exercise Period (such notice, a “Repurchase Alternative Value Notice”).
(c)If the DHC Parties provide a Repurchase Acceptance Notice during the Repurchase Exercise Period, the DHC Parties shall sell, and ABP shall purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Repurchase Shares at the Repurchase Price. If the DHC Parties fail to provide a Repurchase Acceptance Notice or a Repurchase Alternative Value Notice during the Repurchase Exercise Period, or if they deliver a Repurchase Alternative Value Notice but do not thereafter provide the Repurchase Alternative Value when and as required by Section 3.06(d)(i), then they will be deemed to have delivered a Repurchase Acceptance Notice.
(d)If the DHC Parties provide a Repurchase Alternative Value Notice during the Repurchase Exercise Period, the following provisions will apply:
(i)The Repurchase Alternative Value Notice shall specify the Third Party Valuation Firm (the “DHC Valuation Firm”) selected by the DHC Parties to provide the Repurchase Alternative Value, which Third Party Valuation Firm shall be required to deliver to the DHC Parties and ABP within thirty (30) days after the end of the Repurchase Exercise Period its determination of the Repurchase Alternative Value, together with reasonable supporting information. ABP shall provide the DHC Valuation Firm such additional information related to the Repurchase Shares and ABP as the DHC Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. The DHC Parties shall bear the costs of the DHC Valuation Firm.
(ii)If the Repurchase Alternative Value is at least ninety percent (90%) and not more than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Repurchase Price, then, subject to Section 3.06(a), the DHC Parties shall be deemed to have delivered a Repurchase Acceptance Notice and the DHC Parties shall sell, and ABP shall purchase, all, but not less than all, of the Repurchase Shares at the average of the Repurchase Price and the Repurchase Alternative Value.
(iii)If the Repurchase Alternative Value is less than ninety percent (90%) or greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Repurchase Price, then ABP and the DHC Parties shall jointly appoint a Joint Valuation Firm to determine the value of the Repurchase Shares, which shall be instructed to provide the DHC Parties and ABP with its determination of the value of the Repurchase Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) as of the date of the Termination Event (the “Determined Repurchase Price”), together with reasonable supporting information, within thirty (30) days of its appointment. The Joint Valuation Firm shall be provided with the prior valuations of the Repurchase Shares obtained by the DHC Parties and ABP, but shall not be obligated to base its determination on such valuations. ABP shall also provide the Joint Valuation Firm such additional information related to the Repurchase Shares and ABP as the Joint
15



Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. The cost of the Joint Valuation Firm will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the DHC Parties and fifty percent (50%) by ABP or as they may otherwise agree. The Joint Valuation Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and the decision of the Joint Valuation Firm as to the Determined Repurchase Price, absent manifest error, shall be final and non-appealable. Upon delivery of the Determined Repurchase Price, ABP shall purchase, and the DHC Parties shall sell, all, but not less than all, of the Repurchase Shares at the Determined Repurchase Price, subject to Section 3.06(d)(iv).
(iv)If the Determined Repurchase Price is more than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Repurchase Price, ABP shall have ten (10) days following delivery of the Determined Repurchase Price (the “Repurchase Withdrawal Period”) to withdraw the Repurchase Notice by notice given to the DHC Parties; provided, that ABP shall reimburse the Electing DHC Parties for the costs of the DHC Valuation Firm and Joint Valuation Firm incurred by them in connection with any ROFO Process that was terminated as provided in Section 3.06(g)(iii). If ABP does not withdraw the Repurchase Notice in such ten (10) day period, then ABP shall purchase, and the DHC Parties shall sell, all, but not less than all, of the Repurchase Shares at the Determined Repurchase Price.
(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any DHC Party be required to accept a Repurchase Price having a minimum value less than the Base Price.
(e)The closing of the purchase and sale of the Repurchase Shares pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall occur on a date that is not later than ninety (90) days after the purchase price for the Repurchase Shares has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.06 or as otherwise agreed in writing by the DHC Parties and ABP. At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Repurchase Shares to ABP pursuant to this Section 3.06, ABP shall deliver to the DHC Parties the purchase price for the Repurchase Shares as determined pursuant to this Section 3.06 by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the DHC Parties shall deliver to ABP the certificate(s) representing the Repurchase Shares, if any, (or an affidavit of loss with respect to such certificates) accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary.
(f)If ABP withdraws the Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.06(d)(iv), the DHC Parties may during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period immediately following the date that they receive the notice from ABP that it is withdrawing the Repurchase Notice (the “Waived Repurchase Transfer Period”), Transfer all of the Repurchase Shares to any Third Party Purchaser at a price not less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the lesser of the Repurchase Price, the average of the Repurchase Price and the Repurchase Alternative Value or the Determined Repurchase Price and the provisions of Section 3.02(i) and Section 3.02(j) shall apply mutatis mutandis during the Waived Repurchase Transfer Period.
(g)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.04(b), (i) ABP may not exercise the Repurchase Right at any time during the pendency of a Drag-along Sale, a Tag-along Sale or a transaction which is reasonably likely to result in a Company Change of Control; (ii) if a Termination Event has occurred, the DHC Parties may not thereafter send an DHC Offer Notice until a date that is not less than ninety (90) days following the date of the Termination Event or after such ninety (90) day period if ABP has then delivered a Repurchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.06 unless and until such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.06(d)(iv); (iii) if as of the date a Termination Event occurs, the process with respect to an outstanding DHC Offer Notice is then pending pursuant to Section 3.02 (a “ROFO Process”), then (A) the ROFO Process shall be suspended for ninety (90) days following the Termination Event, and terminated if ABP sends a Repurchase Notice within such ninety (90) day period; (B) if ABP fails to send a Repurchase Notice in such ninety (90) day period, then as of the ninety-first (91st) day following the Termination Event, at the Electing DHC Parties’ option, the ROFO Process shall resume with any applicable time periods extended to reflect such suspension; and (C) if ABP sends a Repurchase Notice within such ninety (90) period following the Termination Event and thereafter withdraws the Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.06(d)(iv), the DHC Parties shall have the right following such withdrawal to send another DHC Offer Notice to ABP even if the DHC Parties have previously sent an DHC Offer Notice in that calendar year; and (iv) if a ROFO Process is reinstated pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 3.06(g) or the DHC Parties send an DHC Offer Notice permitted by clause (ii) of this Section 3.06(g), ABP shall not thereafter have the right to send a Repurchase Notice unless and until the applicable ROFO Process has been completed in accordance with Section 3.02 and the Repurchase Right will only be exercisable with respect to the remaining Company Shares owned by the DHC Parties after the ROFO Process has been completed. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.06 limits the
16



right of the DHC Parties to Transfer any or all of their Repurchase Shares at any time pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 or otherwise in compliance with this Agreement.
(h)ABP may assign the Repurchase Right in whole or in part to the Company or any other Stockholder.
Section 3.07Put Rights.
(a)At any time that a Put Event then exists, each REIT Party shall have the right (a “Put Right”) exercised by notice to ABP (the “Put Notice”) to require ABP to purchase from such REIT Party (the “Electing Put Party”), such number of the Company Shares owned by such REIT Party as is necessary to cause the Company Shares owned by such REIT Party to not exceed the Company Shares that such REIT Party may own pursuant to the limit in Section 4.04(b) (such number of Company Shares to be purchased, the “Put Shares”). The purchase price per Put Share shall initially be the Base Price (the “Put Price”).
(b)Upon receipt of the Put Notice, ABP shall within three (3) Business Days purchase all of the Put Shares at the Put Price, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.07.
(c)Without limiting the obligation of ABP to purchase the Put Shares pursuant to Section 3.07(b), the Electing Put Party shall have ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of the Put Notice (the “Put Exercise Period”), to elect, by delivering notice to ABP, that ABP provide the Electing Put Party with a valuation of the Put Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) as of the date of the Put Notice from a Third Party Valuation Firm (a “Put Alternative Value”), together with reasonable supporting information, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Put Exercise Period (such notice, a “Put Alternative Value Notice”).
(d)If ABP provides a Put Alternative Value Notice during the Put Exercise Period, the following provisions will apply:
(i)The Put Alternative Value Notice shall specify the Third Party Valuation Firm (the “Alternative Put Valuation Firm”) selected by ABP to provide the Put Alternative Value, which Alternative Put Valuation Firm shall be required to deliver to the Electing Put Party and ABP within thirty (30) days after the end of the Put Exercise Period its determination of the Put Alternative Value, together with reasonable supporting information. The Company and ABP shall provide the Alternative ABP Valuation Firm such additional information related to the Put Shares, the Company and ABP as the Alternative Put Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. ABP shall bear the costs of the Alternative Put Valuation Firm.
(ii)If the Put Alternative Value is less than the Base Price or not more than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Put Price, then the purchase price for the Put Shares shall the Put Price.
(iii)If the Put Alternative Value is greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Put Price, then ABP and the Electing Put Party shall jointly appoint a Joint Valuation Firm to determine the value of the Put Shares, which shall be instructed to provide the Electing Put Party and ABP with its determination of the value of the Put Shares (without any reduction for minority interests) as of the date of the Put Notice (the “Determined Put Price”), together with reasonable supporting information, within thirty (30) days of its appointment. The Joint Valuation Firm shall be provided with the prior valuation of the Put Shares obtained by ABP, but shall not be obligated to base its determination on such valuation. The Company and ABP shall also provide the Joint Valuation Firm such additional information related to the Put Shares, the Company and ABP as the Joint Valuation Firm may reasonably request in connection with its determination. The cost of the Joint Valuation Firm will be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Electing Put Party and fifty percent (50%) by ABP or as they may otherwise agree. The Joint Valuation Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and the decision of the Joint Valuation Firm as to the Determined Put Price, absent manifest error, shall be final and non-appealable. Upon delivery of the Determined Put Price, the purchase price for the Put Shares shall be adjusted to the Determined Put Price, but shall in no event be lower than the Put Price.
17



(e)If the final purchase price determined for the Put Shares pursuant to this Section 3.07 (the “Final Price”) is greater than the Put Price, ABP shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, pay to the Electing Put Party the difference between the Put Price and the Final Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(f)At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Put Shares pursuant to this Section 3.07, ABP shall deliver to the Electing Put Party the purchase price for the Put Shares as determined pursuant to this Section 3.07 by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Electing Put Party shall deliver to ABP the certificate(s) representing the Put Shares, if any, (or an affidavit of loss with respect to such certificates) accompanied by stock powers and all necessary stock transfer taxes paid and stamps affixed, if necessary.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the REIT Parties under this Section 3.07 are in addition to any other rights or remedies of the REIT Parties at equity or under Applicable Law as a result of the occurrence of a Put Event.
(h)ABP may assign its right (but not its obligation) to purchase the Put Shares, in whole or in part, to the Company or any other Stockholder.

Section 4.03Certain Pre-emptive Rights for Additional Equity.
(a)Issuance of Additional Company Shares. The Company hereby grants to each Stockholder (each, a “Pre-emptive Stockholder”) the right to purchase a pro rata portion of any Company Shares (other than Excluded Shares) proposed to be issued or sold after the date hereof by the Company to any Person (“Additional Company Shares”). The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary to not be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, except as a result of the issuance or sale by such Subsidiary of Excluded Shares.
(b)Additional Issuance Notices. If the Company desires to issue Additional Company Shares, the Company shall give notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of the proposed issuance or sale to each Pre-emptive Stockholder within seven (7) days following any meeting of the Directors at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall be accompanied by a written offer to purchase such Additional Company Shares from each prospective purchaser of such Additional Company Shares (each, a “Pre-emptive Purchaser”) and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including:
(i)The identity of each Pre-emptive Purchaser, if known, and the aggregate amount and a description of the Additional Company Shares proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company Shares that such issuance would represent;
(ii)the proposed issuance date, which subject to Section 4.03(g), shall be at least thirty (30) days from the date of the Issuance Notice;
(iii)the proposed purchase price per Company Share of the Additional Company Shares and the form of such purchase price if other than cash; and
(iv)if the consideration to be paid by any Pre-emptive Purchaser includes non-cash consideration, the Directors’ good faith determination of the fair market value thereof.
The Issuance Notice shall also be accompanied by a statement of the Company Shares ownership of each stockholder of the Company and a calculation in reasonable detail as to each Pre-emptive Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Additional Company Shares.
(c)Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. Each Pre-emptive Stockholder shall for a period of twenty (20) days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Pre-emptive Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Additional Company Shares, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, by delivering notice to the Company (a “Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice”) specifying the number of Additional Company Shares it desires to purchase. The delivery of a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by a Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be a binding and irrevocable subscription by such Pre-emptive Stockholder for the number of Additional Company Shares described in its Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.03. The failure of a Pre-emptive Stockholder to deliver an Acceptance Notice by the end of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section 4.03 with respect to the purchase of such Additional Company Shares, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of Additional Company Shares.
(d)Over-allotment. No later than seven (7) days following the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Pre-emptive Stockholder in writing of the number of Additional Company Shares that each Pre-emptive Stockholder has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-allotment Notice”). Each Pre-emptive Stockholder exercising its rights to purchase its pro rata share of the Additional Company Shares in full (an “Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Pre-emptive Stockholder has failed to exercise its right under this Section 4.03, or any other stockholder of the Company having pre-emptive rights to purchase Company Shares in such transaction has failed, to purchase its pro rata share of the Additional Company Shares in full (each, a “Non-Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholder”), such Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholder may purchase its pro rata share (computed on the basis of the Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholders and other stockholders of the Company who choose to purchase in the over-allotment in proportion to their pro rata share of the Additional Company Shares, and otherwise so that one hundred percent (100%) of the over-allotment may be subscribed for
19



and purchased by the Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholders and such other stockholders) of such Non-Exercising Pre-emptive Stockholders’ unsubscribed for allotment, by giving notice to the Company within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Over-allotment Notice (the “Over-allotment Exercise Period”).
(e)Sale of Additional Shares. Any Additional Company Shares not subscribed for by a Pre-emptive Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(d) may be sold by the Company following the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-allotment Exercise Period, to the Pre-emptive Purchasers on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice and, for the avoidance of doubt, at a price at least equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice; provided, such sale is completed no later than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Over-allotment Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such sixty (60) day period for a reasonable time not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any third party approvals). If the Company has not sold all of the remaining Additional Company Shares to the Pre-emptive Purchasers by such date, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any such Additional Company Shares without first again offering such Additional Company Shares to the Pre-emptive Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.03 and no Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be obligated to complete the purchase of the Additional Company Shares that it subscribed for pursuant to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(d).
(f)Additional Company Shares Sale Closing. Except as provided in Section 4.03(g), the closing of any purchase by any Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be consummated substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the sale to the Pre-emptive Purchasers. The Company shall deliver the Additional Company Shares to be purchased by a Pre-emptive Stockholder in accordance with this Section 4.03 free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall represent and warrant to such Pre-emptive Stockholder that such Additional Company Shares shall be, upon issuance thereof to such Pre-emptive Stockholder and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company, in the discretion of its Directors, may deliver to each purchasing Pre-emptive Stockholder certificates evidencing the Additional Company Shares. Each purchasing Pre-emptive Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the Additional Company Shares purchased by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of Additional Company Shares pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Directors in their discretion may at any time prior to the closing of the issuance and sale of any Additional Company Shares, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Pre-emptive Stockholders, cancel the issuance and sale of such Additional Company Shares in their entirety, in which event the Company shall not thereafter issue any Additional Company Shares without first again offering such Additional Company Shares to the Pre-emptive Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.03.
(g)Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.03, if approved by the Directors, the Company may, in lieu of concurrently offering any Additional Company Shares to all Stockholders, initially offer, sell and issue Additional Company Shares to only certain Stockholders so long as promptly, but in any event, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company provides an Issue Notice (which Issue Notice shall include the material details of the prior issuance of Additional Company Shares pursuant to this Section 4.03) to each Pre-emptive Stockholder and complies with the provisions of this Section 4.03(g) with respect to all Pre-emptive Stockholders by offering to such Pre-emptive Stockholders their share of such Additional Company Shares (as otherwise determined pursuant to Section 4.03(a) prior to any sales and issuances permitted by this Section 4.03(g)); provided, that (i) prior to the Company complying with the provisions of this Section 4.03(g), no Additional Company Shares issued pursuant to this Section 4.03(g) shall be entitled to vote on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company and the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Additional Company Shares issued to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 4.03(g) and (ii) in no event shall any Pre-emptive Stockholder be required to acquire any Additional Company Shares from any other Stockholder in connection with its exercise of its rights under this Section 4.03.

Section 4.04REIT Compliance.
(a)Adverse Regulatory Event. In the event of an Adverse Regulatory Event arising from or in connection with this Agreement or a REIT Party’s ownership of Company Shares, the Company and the Stockholders shall work together in good faith to eliminate the impact of such Adverse Regulatory Event, including entering into such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate or to permit such REIT Party to effect the Transfer of its Company Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adverse Regulatory Event” means any time that an Applicable Law imposes upon a REIT Party (or could impose upon a REIT Party in its reasonable opinion) any material threat to such REIT Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code.
(b)Ownership of Company Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any Stockholder shall have any authority to take, and none shall take, any action which shall cause any REIT Party to own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at any time more than thirty-four percent (34%) in aggregate of the vote or value of the then outstanding Company Shares (as determined under each of Sections 856(d)(3) (inclusive of Section 856(d)(5)), 856(d)(9)(F), and 856(l)(2) of the Code).

Section 8.13Dispute Resolution.
(a)Disputes. Any disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Organizational Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any disputes, claims or controversies brought by or on behalf of a party hereto, a direct or indirect parent of a party, or any holder of equity interests (which, for purposes of this Section 8.13, shall mean any holder of record or any beneficial owner of equity interests, or any former holder of record or beneficial owner of equity interests) of a party, either on its own behalf, on behalf of a party or on behalf of any series or class of equity interests of a party or holders of any equity interests of a party against a party or any of their respective trustees, directors, members, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its parent and their respective successor), agents or employees, including any disputes, claims or controversies relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance, application or enforcement of this Agreement, including the agreements set forth in this Section 8.13, or the governing documents of a party (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such Dispute or Disputes, be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may be modified in this Section 8.13. For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are intended to include derivative actions against the trustees, directors, officers or managers of a party and class actions by a holder of equity interests against those Persons and a party. For the avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on behalf of one party against another party.
25



(b)Selection of Arbitrators. There shall be three (3) arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, each party shall select one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt by respondent of a copy of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of such parties. If there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be, one (1) arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand for arbitration. Such arbitrators may be affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the case may be. If either a claimant (or all claimants) or a respondent (or all respondents) fail(s) to timely select an arbitrator, then the party (or parties) who has selected an arbitrator may request the AAA to provide a list of three (3) proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules (each of whom shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) and the party (or parties) that failed to timely appoint an arbitrator shall have ten (10) days from the date the AAA provides such list to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA. If the party (or parties) fail(s) to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by that time, the party (or parties) who have appointed the first (1st) arbitrator shall then have ten (10) days to select one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators proposed by the AAA to be the second (2nd) arbitrator; and, if they should fail to select the second (2nd) arbitrator by such time, the AAA shall select, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, one (1) of the three (3) arbitrators it had proposed as the second (2nd) arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly appoint the third (3rd) and presiding arbitrator (who shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the second (2nd) arbitrator. If the third (3rd) arbitrator has not been appointed within the time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.
(c)Location of Arbitration. Any arbitration hearings shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, but the seat of arbitration shall be Maryland.
(d)Scope of Discovery. There shall be only limited documentary discovery of documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the arbitrators. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that there shall be no depositions and no other discovery other than limited documentary discovery as described in the preceding sentence.
(e)Arbitration Award. In rendering an award or decision (an “Award”), the arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered hereunder, and the validity, effect and interpretation of the agreements set forth in this Section 8.13 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. An Award shall be in writing and may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. Any monetary Award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset. Subject to Section 8.13(f), each party against which an Award assesses a monetary obligation shall pay that obligation on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such Award or such other date as such Award may provide.
(f)Costs. Except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the parties thereto, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law of the State of Maryland, each party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an Award that would include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or, in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of a party’s Award to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. Each party (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand, respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two (2) parties to the Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third (3rd) appointed arbitrator.
(g)Appeals. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, any Award, including, but not limited to, any interim Award, may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”). An Award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Award by filing a notice of appeal with any AAA office. Following the appeal process, the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, and despite any contrary provision of the Appellate Rules, Section
26



8.13(g) shall apply to any appeal pursuant to this Section 8.13 and the appeal tribunal shall not render an Award that would include shifting of any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any party.
(h)Final Judgment. Following the expiration of the time for filing the notice of appeal, or the conclusion of the appeal process set forth in Section 8.13(g), an Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between those parties relating to the Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrators. Judgment upon an Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or with respect to any Award made, except for actions relating to enforcement of the agreements set forth in this Section 8.13 or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(i)Intended Beneficiaries. This Section 8.13 is intended to benefit and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective shareholders, stockholders, members, beneficial interest owners, direct and indirect parents, trustees, directors, officers, managers (including The RMR Group LLC or its parent and their respective successor), members, agents or employees and their respective successors and assigns and shall be binding on the parties, and such Persons and be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that such Persons may have by contract or otherwise.
Section 8.14Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Stockholder, the Company and each transferee of Company Shares agrees, at the request of the Company or any Stockholder, to execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and to take such further actions as may be required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 8.15Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 8.16No Liability. NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, SHAREHOLDER, MEMBER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF ANY PARTY SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, SUCH PARTY. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SUCH PARTY IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF SUCH PARTY FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diversified Healthcare Trust and its subsidiaries, or 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, 2023, or our 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. 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 our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets.
We have been, are currently, and expect in the future to be involved in claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, some of which may involve material amounts. Also, the defense and resolution of these claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings may require us to incur significant expense. We account for claims and litigation losses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. Under ASC 450, loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable and estimable losses at our best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at our estimate of the minimum loss. These estimates are often developed prior to knowing the amount of the ultimate loss, require the application of considerable judgment, and are refined as additional information becomes known. Accordingly, we are often initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss and therefore the estimated minimum loss amount, which could be zero, is recorded; and then, as information becomes known, the minimum loss amount is updated, as appropriate. A minimum or best estimate amount may be increased or decreased when events result in a changed expectation.

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-07, which requires public entities to: (i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or the CODM, and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, in interim periods; and (iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. Public entities with a single reportable segment must apply all the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2023-07, as well as all the existing segment disclosures under ASC 280. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 are incremental to the requirements in ASC 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU No. 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance their annual income tax disclosures by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Real Estate [Abstract]  
Real Estate and Other Investments Real Estate and Other Investments
As of March 31, 2024, we owned 371 properties located in 36 states and Washington, D.C., including four properties classified as held for sale and two closed senior living communities, and we owned an equity interest in each of two unconsolidated joint ventures that own medical office and life science properties located in five states.
Acquisitions and Dispositions:
We did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold one property for a sales price of $3,600, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sale of this property does not represent a significant disposition and we do not believe this sale represents a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of operations for this property are included in continuing operations through the date of sale of such property in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Senior Living11,525 
4$35,770 
As of May 2, 2024, we had two properties under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $10,375, excluding closing costs. We may not complete the sales of any or all of the properties we currently plan to sell. Also, we may sell some or all of these properties at amounts that are less than currently expected and/or less than the carrying values of such properties and we may incur losses on any such sales as a result.
Impairment:
We regularly evaluate our assets for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows 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 an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by comparing it to the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated from those assets. The future cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $12,142 related to two medical office properties that were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024.
Equity Method Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:

(1)Amounts are not adjusted for our minority equity interest.
(2)We provide certain guaranties on this debt.
(3)This mortgage loan requires interest only payments until the anticipated repayment date on August 6, 2026, at which time all accrued and unpaid interest along with the principal balance of $620,000 is expected to be repaid. This mortgage loan matures on November 6, 2028 and any unpaid principal from the anticipated repayment date through the maturity date bears interest at a variable rate of the greater of 6.53% or the then effective U.S. swap rate for the swap terminating on the maturity date plus 5.00%.
(4)The debt securing these properties is non-recourse to us.
(5)This mortgage loan matures on February 9, 2025 and requires interest to be paid at an annual rate of the one month term secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a premium of 1.90%. This joint venture has also purchased an interest rate cap through February 2025 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 4.48% and an initial premium of $1,200. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is subject to two remaining one-year extension options.

We account for the unconsolidated joint venture for 10 medical office and life science properties in which we own a 20% equity interest, or the LSMD JV, and the unconsolidated joint venture for a life science property located in Boston, Massachusetts in which we own a 10% equity interest, or the Seaport JV, using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we recognized a $1,613 and $(647) change in the fair value of our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures. These amounts are included in equity in net earnings (losses) of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). See Note 6 for further information regarding the valuation of our investment in these joint ventures.
Equity Method Investment in AlerisLife:
As of March 31, 2024, we owned approximately 34.0% of the outstanding common shares of AlerisLife Inc., or AlerisLife. We account for our 34.0% non-controlling interest in AlerisLife using the equity method of accounting.
As of March 31, 2024, our investment in AlerisLife had a carrying value of $15,740. The cost basis of our investment in AlerisLife exceeded our proportionate share of AlerisLife's total stockholders' equity book value on the date of acquisition of our initial interest in AlerisLife, which was February 16, 2024, by an aggregate of $29,500. As required under GAAP, we are amortizing this difference to equity in earnings of an investee over 21 years, the weighted average remaining useful life of the real estate assets owned by AlerisLife and the intangible contract asset with us as of the date of acquisition.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We are a lessor of medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the premises demised under the leases; therefore, we have determined to evaluate our leases as lease arrangements.
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.
We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $291 and $2,448 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding receivables related to our properties classified as held for sale, if any, include $74,704 and $75,306 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including 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 $11,350 and $11,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $11,284 and $11,924, respectively.
Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability: For leases where we are the lessee, we recognized a right of use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments with rental payments being applied to the lease liability and the right of use asset being amortized over the term of the lease. The values of the right of use assets and related liabilities representing our future obligation under the respective lease arrangements for which we are the lessee were $22,555 and $22,937, respectively, as of March 31, 2024, and $23,366 and $23,748, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. The right of use assets and related lease liabilities are included within other assets, net and other liabilities, respectively, within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we lease equipment at certain of our managed senior living communities. These leases are short term in nature, are cancelable with no fee or do not result in an annual expense in excess of our capitalization policy and, as a result, are not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Indebtedness Indebtedness
Our principal debt obligations, excluding any debt obligations of our joint ventures, at March 31, 2024 were: (1) $2,100,000 outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (2) $940,534 outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; and (3) $8,669 principal amount of mortgage debt secured by one property. The mortgaged property had a net book value of $13,466 at March 31, 2024. We also had two properties subject to finance leases that expire in 2026 with lease obligations totaling $3,528 at March 31, 2024; these two properties had an aggregate net book value of $22,365 at March 31, 2024.
Until its repayment in full on December 21, 2023, we had a $450,000 credit facility that was fully drawn. As of December 21, 2023, our former credit facility was paid off in full and the related credit agreement was terminated. The weighted average annual interest rate for borrowings under our former credit facility was 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In January 2023, pursuant to the credit agreement, we repaid $113,627 in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility and the commitments were reduced to $586,373. In February 2023, we and our lenders amended the credit agreement to reduce the commitments from $586,373 to $450,000 following our repayment of $136,373 in outstanding borrowings under our former credit facility, and as a result of that reduction in commitments, we recorded a loss on modification or early extinguishment of debt of $1,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, all $940,534 of our senior secured notes due 2026 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and senior secured basis, by certain of our subsidiaries that own 95 properties, or the Collateral Guarantors, and on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all our subsidiaries other than the Collateral Guarantors and certain excluded subsidiaries, and all $500,000 of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 and all $500,000 of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 were fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and unsecured basis, by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries. The notes and related guarantees (other than our senior secured notes and the guarantees provided by the
Collateral Guarantors) are effectively subordinated to all of our and the subsidiary guarantors' secured indebtedness, respectively, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness, and the notes and related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. Our remaining $1,100,000 of senior unsecured notes do not have the benefit of any guarantees as of March 31, 2024.
Our senior secured notes due 2026 and the guarantees provided by the Collateral Guarantors are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in each of the collateral properties and 100% of the equity interests in each of the Collateral Guarantors. No cash interest will accrue on these notes prior to maturity. The accreted value of these notes will increase at a rate of 11.25% per annum compounded semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, such that the accreted value will equal the principal amount at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized discount accretion of $20,659 for our senior secured notes due 2026 in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We have a one-time option to extend the maturity date of these notes by one year, to January 15, 2027, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. If we exercise this option, interest payments will be due semiannually during the extension period at an initial interest rate of 11.25% with increases of 50 basis points every 90 days these notes remain outstanding.

(1)The 10% equity interest we own in the Seaport JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are a discount rate of 8.00%, an exit capitalization rate of 6.00%, a holding period of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of the property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(2)The 20% equity interest we own in the LSMD JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are discount rates of between 6.50% and 8.00%, exit capitalization rates of between 4.75% and 7.00%, holding periods of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions we made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(3)We have assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $12,142 to reduce the carrying value of two medical office properties that are classified as held for sale to their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell, of $19,744 under agreements to sell that we have entered into with third parties. See Note 3 for further information about impairment charges and the properties we have classified as held for sale.
In addition to the assets described in the table above, our financial instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, certain other assets, senior unsecured notes, senior secured notes, secured debt and finance leases and certain other unsecured obligations and liabilities.

(2)We assumed certain of these secured debts in connection with our acquisition of certain properties. We recorded the assumed mortgage notes at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and we are amortizing the fair value adjustments, if any, to interest expense over the respective terms of the mortgage notes to adjust interest expense to the estimated market interest rates as of the date of acquisition.
We estimated the fair values of our two issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2042 and 2046 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We estimated the fair values of our three issuances of senior unsecured notes due 2025, 2028 and 2031 and our issuance of senior secured notes due 2026 using an average of the bid and ask price on Nasdaq on or about March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimated the fair values of our secured debts by using discounted cash flows analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair values may differ materially from the actual fair values.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two segments: Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio and senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP. We aggregate the operating results of our properties in these two reporting segments based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. Our Medical Office and Life Science Portfolio segment primarily consists of medical office properties leased to medical providers and other medical related businesses, as well as life science properties primarily leased to biotech laboratories and other similar tenants. Our SHOP segment consists of managed
senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential living and, in some instances, care and other services for residents where we pay fees to managers to operate the communities on our behalf.
We also report “non-segment” operations, which consists of triple net leased senior living communities and wellness centers that are leased to third party operators from which we receive rents, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.

Senior Living Community Management Agreements Senior Living Community Management Agreements
Our managed senior living communities are operated by third parties pursuant to management agreements. Five Star Senior Living, or Five Star, which is an operating division of AlerisLife, manages many of our SHOP communities. Five Star manages these communities for us pursuant to a master management agreement. AlerisLife guarantees the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable management agreements.
In connection with ABP Trust’s acquisition of AlerisLife on March 20, 2023, we amended the master management agreement with AlerisLife to eliminate any change of control default or event of default provisions. See Note 11 for further information regarding ABP Trust's acquisition of AlerisLife.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Five Star. Five Star managed 119 of our senior living communities as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by Five Star to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs.
We incurred management fees payable to Five Star of $10,407 and $10,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $9,998 and $9,137, respectively, of the total management fees were expensed to property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $409 and $877, respectively, were capitalized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We incurred fees of $10 and $879 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with respect to rehabilitation services Five Star provided at our senior living communities that are payable by us. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
We lease to Five Star space at certain of our senior living communities, which it uses to provide certain outpatient rehabilitation and wellness services.
Our Senior Living Communities Managed by Other Third Party Managers. Several other third party managers managed 111 of our senior living communities as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023. We lease our senior living communities that are managed by these third party managers to our TRSs.
In March 2024, we terminated our management agreement with one of our third party managers which manages certain of our communities located in Wisconsin and Illinois. We have transitioned these communities to another third party manager which we have an existing relationship with. The terms of the management agreement for these communities are generally consistent with the terms of the existing management agreements with our other third party managers. We paid termination and other fees of $1,106 during the second quarter of 2024, and expect to incur additional costs during 2024, related to the transition of these communities.
We incurred management fees payable to these third party managers of $5,725 and $5,238 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

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 the property level operations of many of our properties, including our medical office and life science properties, and major renovation or repositioning activities at our senior living communities that we may request RMR to manage from time to time. See Note 11 for further information regarding our relationship, agreements and transactions with RMR.
We recognized net business management fees of $4,878 and $3,270 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 include $849 of estimated incentive fees based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement. Although we recognized estimated incentive fees in accordance with GAAP, the actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2024, 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, 2024, and will be payable in January 2025. We did not incur any incentive fee payable for the year ended December 31, 2023. We recognize business management and incentive fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
We recognized aggregate net property management and construction supervision fees of $1,904 and $1,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, $1,538 and $1,463, respectively, of the total property management fees were expensed to property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and $366 and $529, respectively, were capitalized as building
improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts capitalized are being depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.
We are generally responsible for all our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR's employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR's employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our properties, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR's centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR's costs for providing our internal audit function, or as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR. We reimbursed RMR $3,728 and $3,533 for these expenses and costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or general and administrative expenses, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for these periods.
Management Agreements between our Joint Ventures and RMR. We have two separate joint venture arrangements with third party institutional investors, the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV. RMR provides management services to both of these joint ventures. Our joint ventures are not our consolidated subsidiaries and, as a result, we are not obligated to pay management fees to RMR under our management agreements with RMR for the services it provides regarding the joint ventures.

In addition, officers of RMR and RMR Inc. serve as our officers and officers of other companies to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services. As of March 31, 2024, ABP Trust and Mr. Portnoy owned 9.8% of our outstanding common shares.
AlerisLife. Until March 20, 2023, we were AlerisLife's largest stockholder, owning approximately 31.9% of AlerisLife's outstanding common shares, and ABP Acquisition LLC, or ABP Acquisition, a subsidiary of ABP Trust, together with ABP Trust, owned approximately 6.1% of AlerisLife's outstanding common shares. Five Star is an operating division of AlerisLife. Five Star manages certain of the senior living communities we own. RMR provides management services to both us and AlerisLife.
On February 2, 2023, AlerisLife entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the ALR Merger Agreement, with certain subsidiaries of ABP Trust, pursuant to which ABP Trust acquired all of the publicly held outstanding AlerisLife common shares at a price of $1.31 per share by tender offer.
In connection with the ALR Merger Agreement, on February 2, 2023, we agreed to tender all the AlerisLife common shares that we and our subsidiary then owned, into the tender offer at the tender offer price, subject to the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, on or before December 31, 2023, AlerisLife common shares at the tender offer price, and otherwise pursuant to a stockholders agreement to be entered into at the time of any such purchase. On December 20, 2023, we and ABP Trust extended our right to purchase AlerisLife common shares until March 31, 2024.
On February 16, 2024, we exercised this purchase right and acquired, together with our applicable TRS, approximately 34.0% of the then outstanding AlerisLife common shares from ABP Trust at the tender offer price, for a total purchase price of $14,890, and we, our applicable TRS, ABP Trust and AlerisLife entered into a stockholders agreement. Following this acquisition, ABP Trust owns the remaining approximately 66.0% of AlerisLife.
See Note 9 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with AlerisLife (including Five Star).
Our Joint Ventures. In connection with our entering into the LSMD JV in January 2022, we paid mortgage escrow amounts and closing costs that were payable by that joint venture. The remaining costs totaled $6,080 as of March 31, 2024 and are included in other assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. RMR provides management services to each of the Seaport JV and the LSMD JV. See Note 10 for further information regarding those management agreements with RMR.
Our Manager, RMR. We have two agreements with RMR to provide management services to us. See Note 10 for further information regarding our management agreements with RMR.
Leases with RMR. We lease office space to RMR in certain of our properties for RMR’s property management offices. We recognized rental income from RMR for this leased office space of $109 and $61 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, see our Annual Report.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as such, are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We do, however, lease our managed senior living communities to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated federal corporate income tax return and are subject to federal and state income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state income taxes we incur despite our taxation as a REIT. Our current income tax expense (or benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our income, including gains on the disposition of properties or losses in a particular quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $187 and benefit of $31, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-07, which requires public entities to: (i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, or the CODM, and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; (ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, in interim periods; and (iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. Public entities with a single reportable segment must apply all the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2023-07, as well as all the existing segment disclosures under ASC 280. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 are incremental to the requirements in ASC 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU No. 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance their annual income tax disclosures by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(1)The 10% equity interest we own in the Seaport JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are a discount rate of 8.00%, an exit capitalization rate of 6.00%, a holding period of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of the property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(2)The 20% equity interest we own in the LSMD JV is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, and is reported at fair value, which is based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value analysis are discount rates of between 6.50% and 8.00%, exit capitalization rates of between 4.75% and 7.00%, holding periods of 10 years and market rents. The assumptions we made in the fair value analysis are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from appraisers. See Note 3 for further information regarding this joint venture.
(3)We have assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $12,142 to reduce the carrying value of two medical office properties that are classified as held for sale to their estimated sales price, less estimated costs to sell, of $19,744 under agreements to sell that we have entered into with third parties. See Note 3 for further information about impairment charges and the properties we have classified as held for sale.
