    V. Percentage of eligible portfolio that (i) has obtained an energy rating and (ii) is certified to ENERGY STAR®, by sector (SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-130a.4). See SASB Accounting Metric Code 130a.5 in Section I for a description of how building energy management considerations are integrated into property investment analysis and operational strategy. VI. Water management integration discussion (SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-140a.4). On our behalf, RMR supports water management practices at our Office Portfolio that reduce operating costs as well as our impact on the consumption of natural resources. Water usage is managed by benchmarking water performance to establish a baseline and to measure performance improvements resulting from conservation measures. Water benchmarking is performed through the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager online platform. Some cities and states in which we own properties require annual whole-building energy and water use disclosure. In these jurisdictions, RMR engages with tenants to collect and report any direct tenant-paid energy and water consumption for our Office Portfolio. RMR also routinely implements water efficiency and water use reduction projects for our Office Portfolio, which include upgrades to indoor plumbing fixtures, low-flow water closets and urinals, low-flow flush valves, low-flow automatic faucet controls, low-flow faucet aerators and shower heads, water-efficient landscaping, cooling tower water management and leak detection and notification. Sections VII, VIII and IX below provide SASB-aligned water-related metrics.

  3. Our Board’s Role in Oversight of Risk Management

    Our Audit Committee takes a leading role in helping our Board fulfill its responsibilities for oversight of our financial reporting, internal audit function, risk management, including cybersecurity, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Board and Audit Committee review reports annually from our independent auditors regarding potential risks, including risks related to our internal control over financial reporting, and at other times, as may be warranted. Our Audit Committee also annually reviews an internal audit plan developed by members of our internal audit group with the goal of helping us systematically evaluate the effectiveness of our risk management, control and governance processes on an annual basis. Our Audit Committee meets at least quarterly and reports its findings and results of its monitoring activities and oversight on our financial reporting, internal audit function, risk management, including cybersecurity, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, as applicable, to our Board. Our Audit Committee also meets quarterly with members of our internal audit group to review the results of our internal audits and receive reports, and directs or recommends to our Board actions or changes it determines appropriate to enhance or improve the effectiveness of our risk management, including cybersecurity, as it determines appropriate. Our Audit Committee considers risks related to cybersecurity, and receives annual reports from our management regarding cybersecurity risks and countermeasures being undertaken or considered by us, including updates on the internal and external cybersecurity landscape and relevant technical developments, and more frequent reports as it may direct or as warranted. RMR has conducted an external assessment of its cybersecurity controls using a qualified third party. In addition, RMR’s cybersecurity program is aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. RMR conducts annual data security education and testing for its employees, including RMR employees who provide services to us, in addition to penetration testing and unannounced email phishing exercises. Our Compensation Committee whose responsibilities are detailed in its charter, among other responsibilities, evaluates RMR’s performance under our business and property management agreements, including any perceived risks created by compensation arrangements. Also, our Compensation Committee and our Board consider that we have a share award program that requires share awards to executive officers to vest over a period of years. We believe that the use of share awards vesting over time rather than stock options mitigates the incentives for our management to undertake undue risks and encourages management to make long term and appropriately risk balanced decisions. It is not possible to identify all of the risks that may affect us or to develop processes and controls to eliminate all risks and their possible effects, and processes and controls employed to address risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, it is necessary for us to bear certain risks to achieve our objectives. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, our ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations. To learn more about the risks we face, you can review the matters discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The risks described in the Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that may currently be deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

  14. Compensation Overview

    RMR’s named executive officer compensation planning process incorporates key areas of evaluation, including: • external market data; • internal benchmarking; and • quantitative and qualitative assessments of Company, group and individual performance. Named Executive Officer Compensation Practices. RMR’s pay for performance compensation philosophy is reflected in its compensation practices, including: • no guaranteed salary increases or guaranteed cash bonuses; • no specific performance targets on which bonuses would be paid; • no specific incentive or additional performance awards for growing assets under management or for exceeding return benchmarks; • no excessive perquisites; • no tax gross-ups; • annual assessment of named executive officer compensation against peer companies and best practices; • holistic performance evaluations; and annual salary cap.

  15. Analysis of 2023 Awards under the Share Award Plan

    shareholders and motivate the executives to remain employees of RMR and to continue to provide services to us through the term of the awards. Under its charter, our Compensation Committee evaluates, approves and administers our equity compensation plans, which currently consist solely of the Share Award Plan. Our Compensation Committee has historically determined to use awards of Common Shares under the Share Award Plan rather than seek to issue stock options as equity compensation. Because the value of the Common Shares may be determined in part by reference to its dividend yield relative to market interest rates rather than by its potential for capital appreciation, we believe a conventional stock option plan might not provide appropriate incentives for management for a business like ours, but a share award plan may create a better identity of interests between management and other shareholders. Also, because we believe a stock option plan could have the potential to encourage excessive short term risk taking, we have historically granted share awards rather than issue stock options. Our Compensation Committee uses comparative information about the applicable Other RMR Managed REITs as additional data to help it determine whether it is awarding share amounts that are reasonable based on the characteristics of those REITs and their respective officers. Our Compensation Committee also considers the size and structure of the applicable Other RMR Managed REITs and other RMR Clients, and the experience, length of service and scope of duties and responsibilities of the officers at these other companies to assess the appropriateness of the value of the share awards proposed for our officers in light of the proposed awards for officers with comparable roles at the other companies. Our Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation data regarding the applicable Other RMR Managed REITs and their officers, together with the other factors discussed above in “Overview of 2023 Compensation Actions,” but our Compensation Committee did not undertake a detailed comparison of the named executive officers across the applicable Other RMR Managed REITs or other RMR Clients or assign weight to any particular characteristic of these other companies or their officers because our Compensation Committee determines the share amounts in its sole discretion on a non-formulaic basis. In 2023, our Compensation Committee considered the foregoing factors and the factors set forth above in “Overview of Fiscal 2023 Compensation Actions” and decided to award the same number of Common Shares to Ms. Francis that she received in 2022. The award to Mr. Brown of Common Shares in 2023 was in his capacity as an officer of RMR prior to his becoming our executive officer. Mr. Siedel did not receive an award of Common Shares in 2023. Our Compensation Committee considered Ms. Francis level of performance and length of service to us in determining her award. Her share award was made in accordance with the recommendation of RMR and the Chair of our Compensation Committee. Such share award also provides for vesting upon the occurrence of certain corporate “change in control” or termination events. We determine the fair market value of the shares awarded based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the date of the award. Our Compensation Committee has imposed, and may impose, vesting and other conditions on the awarded Common Shares because it believes that time based vesting encourages the recipients of the share awards to remain employed by RMR and to continue to provide services to us. Our Compensation Committee currently uses a vesting schedule under which one fifth of the shares vest immediately and the remaining shares vest in four equal, consecutive annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the award. Our Compensation Committee utilizes a four year time based vesting schedule to provide an incentive to provide services for a long term and in consideration of the tax treatment of the share awards to us and to the recipients. In the event a recipient who received a share award ceases to render significant services, whether as an employee or otherwise, to us, RMR or any RMR Client or their respective affiliates during the vesting period, we may cause the forfeiture of the Common Shares that have not yet vested. As with other issued Common Shares, vested and unvested shares awarded under the Share Award Plan are entitled to receive distributions that we make, if any, on the Common Shares. Because the consideration of share awards by our Compensation Committee and our Board is determined on a regular schedule (i.e., in September for our officers and employees of RMR and at the first meeting of our Board after the annual meeting of shareholders for the Trustees), any proximity of any awards to earnings announcements or other market events is coincidental. Our Compensation Committee believes that its compensation philosophy and programs are designed to foster a business culture that aligns the interests of its named executive officers with those of its shareholders.

    Pay Versus Performance The following table and footnotes summarize the total compensation we paid to our Named Executive Officers (our “NEOs”), compensation “actually paid” to the NEOs (calculated in accordance with SEC rules), the cumulative total shareholder return of the Company, the peer group total shareholder return and our net income for the past four fiscal years. We do not use any financial performance measures to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs by us to the Company’s performance. Accordingly, pursuant to the SEC rules, we have not included a “company selected measure” or the tabular list of performance measures. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Overview” above for an explanation of why we pay our NEOs no cash compensation. For information regarding the compensation paid by RMR and RMR Inc. to our NEOs, please see the above “RMR and RMR Inc. Compensation Practices section.

    * Because the Company does not pay cash compensation to its NEOs, the total compensation from the summary compensation table does not include cash compensation received by our NEOs. The negative values for Compensation Actually Paid in 2022 reflect the decline in value of the share awards granted by us to our NEOs. ** Peer group total shareholder return is based on the MSCI U.S. REIT/ Health Care REIT Index.
