The RMR transaction has further aligned RMR’s interests with HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR shareholders. In June 2015, HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR acquired approximately half of The RMR Group for $11.52 per share. The four REITs distributed approximately half of their shares to their shareholders and on December 15, 2015, The RMR Group began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker “RMR”. On June 2, 2017, RMR’s closing price was $51.90 per share, an approximately 300% increase over the REITs’ purchase price. In addition, since December 15, 2015, RMR has paid aggregate dividends of $1.30 per common share. RMR shares were acquired by the REITs at a significant discount in exchange for 20 year management agreements and The historical owners of RMR became owners of a significant number of restricted shares of HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR and those shares are subject to lock up agreements through 2025.payment was principally made in REIT shares. HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR own RMR shares and benefit when RMR does well. With RMR as a public company, there is greater transparency for HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR shareholders into RMR management, including RMR’s compensation practices and financial and operating results. The RMR transaction came soon after a significant prior restructuring of the RMR management agreements with HPT, SNH, GOV and SIR, which also further aligned interests: the agreements were changed to provide monthly management fees based on the lower of historical cost of real estate or total market capitalization as well as to provide incentive fees based on total shareholder returns compared to relevant benchmark indices over a three year period.
