On
December 3, 2008, RMR
Preferred Dividend Fund (the Fund) sent a notice of redemption to The
Depository Trust Company (DTC), the record holder of the Funds issued and
outstanding Preferred Shares, Series M, CUSIP #74963N208 (the Preferred
Shares), indicating the Funds intention to redeem 80 of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares on January 9, 2009. The Preferred Shares will be redeemed at a
price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends up to,
but not including, January 9, 2009.
Upon completion of the redemption, 64 shares of the
series will remain issued and outstanding.
The Fund intends that the number of shares set
forth above will be redeemed by random lottery from the participant
broker-dealer accounts with DTC. Each
participant broker-dealer, as nominee for underlying beneficial owners (street
name shareholders), in turn will determine how redeemed shares are to be
allocated among its underlying beneficial owners. The procedures used by various broker-dealers
to allocate redeemed shares among beneficial owners may differ from each other
as well as from the procedures used by DTC.
