Office Properties Income Trust Enters into Restructuring Support Agreement with Noteholders to Reduce Debt and Strengthen Balance Sheet

Initiates Voluntary Chapter 11 Process to Implement Terms of Agreement

Receives Commitment for $125 Million in New Money Financing to Support Operations During Restructuring

RMR will Continue as Manager and Operations will Continue Uninterrupted During Restructuring

Office Properties Income Trust (โ€œOPIโ€ or the โ€œCompanyโ€) today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (โ€œRSAโ€) with an ad hoc group (the โ€œSeptember 2029 Ad Hoc Groupโ€) of certain holders of its senior secured notes due September 2029 (the โ€œSeptember 2029 Notesโ€) to restructure its corporate debt and allow the Company to substantially deleverage its balance sheet. The transactions contemplated by the RSA provide the Company with a significantly improved capital structure and reduced debt service obligations, including by the equitization of approximately $1 billion of existing notes, and allow the Company to increase liquidity while maintaining its business operations in the normal course.

To implement the restructuring contemplated by the RSA, OPI and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions (the โ€œChapter 11 Casesโ€) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, Texas (the โ€œBankruptcy Courtโ€). Throughout this process, The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR) will continue to manage the Company and lease and maintain its properties without interruption. The Company will continue to honor its agreements with tenants, brokers and vendors in the ordinary course.

OPI has received a commitment for $125 million in new money, debtor-in-possession (โ€œDIPโ€) financing from the September 2029 Ad Hoc Group to be syndicated to other holders of the September 2029 Notes. Upon Bankruptcy Court approval, this additional financing, together with cash generated from the Company's ongoing operations, is expected to support the business during the court-supervised process.

Yael Duffy, President and Chief Operating Officer of OPI, made the following comment:

โ€œFollowing a thorough review of strategies to address OPIโ€™s funded debt obligations, we are pleased to have reached an agreement with certain noteholders that will meaningfully strengthen OPIโ€™s balance sheet by reducing leverage, lowering debt service obligations and simplifying its capital structure. We remain committed to serving our tenants and working with our brokers and other vendors with the continued support of our manager, The RMR Group. We expect no disruptions to our business or properties during the pendency of the proceedings and expect OPI to emerge as a more stable and financially flexible company, well positioned to advance its strategic initiatives.โ€

The RSA also contemplates a new management arrangement with RMR for an initial term of five years. Throughout the restructuring process, RMR will continue to manage OPIโ€™s business in the ordinary course and expects no interruption or disruption to OPIโ€™s day-to-day operations.

Additional Information

OPI has filed a number of customary โ€œfirst dayโ€ motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval to operate its business in the normal course during the court-supervised process. The Company expects the Court to approve these first day motions in the coming days.
