Previous wording

We are subject to numerous risks associated with our debt, including the risk that our cash flows could be insufficient for us to make required payments and risks associated with high interest rates for an extended period of time. There are no limits in our organizational documents on the amount of debt we may incur; however, our current leverage effectively limits us from incurring additional debt at this time. Our debt may increase our vulnerability to adverse market and economic conditions, limit our flexibility in planning for changes in our business and place us at a disadvantage in relation to competitors that have lower debt levels. Our debt could increase our costs of capital, limit our ability to incur additional debt in the future and increase our exposure to floating interest rates. High interest rates have significantly increased our borrowing costs. Although we have options to extend the maturity date of certain of our debt upon payment of a fee and meeting other conditions, the applicable conditions may not be met or we may incur significant costs complying with such conditions, including in connection with obtaining any required interest rate caps, and we may be required to repay or refinance the outstanding borrowings with new debt on less favorable terms. Excessive or expensive debt could reduce the available cash flow to fund, or limit our ability to obtain financing for, lease obligations, working capital, capital expenditures, refinancing, acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects or other purposes and hinder our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.

Our debt agreements contain financial and/or operating covenants. Certain of these covenants limit our operational flexibility. For example, certain of our debt agreements require lender approval to sell the properties securing the debt, which approval is subject to us meeting certain financial thresholds that are difficult to achieve in light of current market conditions, among other things. These requirements therefore restrict our ability to reduce our leverage. We may not be able to satisfy all of these conditions or may default on some of these covenants for various reasons, including for reasons beyond our control. If any of the covenants in these debt agreements are breached and not cured within the applicable cure period, we could be required to repay the debt immediately, even in the absence of a payment default, or be prevented from refinancing maturing debt or issuing new debt. As a result, covenants which limit our operational flexibility or a default under applicable debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends on our tenants satisfying their lease obligations. The financial capacities of our tenants to pay us rent will depend upon their abilities to successfully operate their businesses, which may be adversely affected by factors over which we and they have no control, including market and economic conditions, such as uncertainties surrounding interest rates and inflation and economic downturns or a possible recession. In addition, emerging technologies and changes in consumer behaviors could reduce the demand for industrial and logistics space. The failure of our tenants and any applicable parent guarantor to satisfy their lease obligations to us, whether due to a downturn in their business or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect us.

We face significant competition for tenants at our properties. Some competing properties may be newer, better located or more attractive to tenants. Competing properties may have lower rates of occupancy than our properties, which may result in competing owners offering available space at lower rents than we offer at our properties. In addition, strong demand for industrial and logistics properties in recent years encouraged new development of these properties; however, such development has slowed. If the development of new industrial and logistics properties exceeds the increase in demand, our existing properties may be unable to successfully compete for tenants with newer developed buildings and our income and the values of our properties may decline. Competition may make it difficult for us to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents we are able to charge and the values of our properties.

We also face competition for acquisition opportunities from other investors, including publicly traded and private REITs, numerous financial institutions, individuals, foreign investors and other public and private companies. We believe that the growth in e-commerce sales will continue to result in strong demand and increase the competition for industrial real estate. Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources than us, and may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants and guarantors and the extent of leverage used in their capital structure. Due to competition for acquisitions, we may be unable to acquire desirable properties or we may pay higher prices for, and realize lower net cash flows than we hope to achieve from, acquisitions.

Current wording

Unfavorable market and industry conditions have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to our shareholders.

Previous wording

Our business and operations may be adversely affected by market and economic volatility experienced by the United States and global economies, the commercial real estate industry and/or the local economies in the markets in which our properties are located. Unfavorable economic and industry conditions may be due to, among other things, uncertainties surrounding interest rates and inflation, supply chain disruptions, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, pandemics, geopolitical instability and tensions, economic downturns or a possible recession, labor market conditions, changes in real estate utilization and other conditions beyond our control. As economic conditions in the United States may affect the demand for industrial and logistics space, real estate values, occupancy levels and property income, current and future economic conditions in the United States, including slower growth or a possible recession and capital market volatility or disruptions, could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition. Economic conditions may be affected by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the pace of economic growth and/or recessionary concerns, inflation, increases in the levels of unemployment, energy prices, uncertainty about government fiscal and tax policy, geopolitical events, the regulatory environment, the availability of credit and interest rates. Unfavorable market conditions have negatively impacted our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders and these or other conditions may continue to have similar impacts in the future and on our results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

Our properties are substantially all industrial and logistics properties leased to single tenants. This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic downturns in the industrial and logistics sector to a greater extent than if we were invested in other sectors of the commercial real estate industry. Further, as of December 31, 2024, subsidiaries of FedEx Corporation, or FedEx, and subsidiaries of Amazon.com Services, Inc., or Amazon, leased 22.6% and 8.0% of our total leased square feet, respectively, and represented 29.1% and 6.8% of our total annualized rental revenues, respectively. The value of single tenant properties is materially dependent on the performance of our tenants under their respective leases. Many of our single tenant leases require that certain property level operating expenses and capital expenditures, such as real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and repairs, including increases with respect thereto, be paid, or reimbursed to us, by our tenants. Accordingly, in addition to our not receiving rental income, a tenant default on such leases could make us responsible for paying these expenses. Because most of our properties are leased to single tenants, the adverse impact of individual tenant defaults or non-renewals is likely to be greater than would be the case if our properties were leased to multiple tenants. In addition, the default, financial distress or bankruptcy of a tenant could cause interruptions in the receipt of rental revenue and/or result in a vacancy, which is, in the case of a single tenant property, likely to result in the complete reduction in the operating cash flows generated by the property and may decrease the value of that property.

In response to significant increases in inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates multiple times during 2022 and 2023, which has significantly increased our interest expense. The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times in late 2024, and it may further reduce interest rates, increase interest rates or maintain current interest rates. Interest rates remain high compared to historical levels, and high interest rates may materially and negatively affect us in several ways, including:

•one of the factors that investors typically consider important in deciding whether to buy or sell our common shares is the distribution rate on our common shares relative to prevailing interest rates. Our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares is currently $0.01 per common share in order to enhance our liquidity until our leverage profile otherwise improves. At current interest rate levels, investors may expect a higher distribution rate than we are able to pay, which may increase our cost of capital, or they may sell our common shares and seek alternative investments with higher distribution rates. Sales of our common shares may cause a decline in the market price of our common shares;

We have purchased interest rate caps as required pursuant to the terms of certain of our debt, and we may elect or be required to use similar or other derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility on debt instruments in the future, including hedging for future debt issuances, as well as to increase our exposure to floating interest rates. There can be no assurance that any such hedging arrangements will have the desired beneficial impact, or that we will be able to purchase additional interest rate caps or similar or other derivatives in the future cost effectively or at all. Such arrangements, which can include a number of counterparties, may expose us to additional risks, including failure of any of our counterparties to perform under these contracts, and may involve extensive costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate them. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our shareholders. The REIT provisions of the IRC may limit our ability to utilize advantageous hedging techniques or cause us to implement some hedges through a TRS, which could further reduce our overall returns. In addition, under certain of our debt, failure to purchase an interest rate cap is an event of default, which would permit the lenders under such debt to demand immediate payment of such debt and sell the mortgaged properties securing such debt. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

We plan to selectively sell certain properties or other assets from time to time to reduce our leverage, fund capital expenditures and future acquisitions and strategically update, rebalance and reposition our investment portfolio. Certain of our debt agreements require lender approval to sell the properties securing the debt; approval is subject to us meeting certain financial thresholds that are difficult to achieve in light of current market conditions, among other things. These requirements therefore restrict our ability to sell properties and reduce our leverage. Our ability to sell properties or other assets, including additional equity interests in our consolidated joint venture, and the prices we may receive for any such sales, may also be affected by various factors. In particular, these factors could arise from weaknesses in or a lack of established markets for the properties we may identify for sale, the availability of financing to potential purchasers on reasonable terms, changes in the financial condition of prospective purchasers for and the tenants of the properties, the terms of leases with tenants at certain of the properties, the characteristics, quality and prospects of the properties, the number of prospective purchasers, the number of competing properties in the market, unfavorable local, national or international economic conditions, such as uncertainties surrounding interest rates and inflation, supply chain challenges, economic downturns or a possible recession and labor market conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the properties are located. For example, current market conditions have caused, and may continue to cause, increased capitalization rates which, together with high interest rates, has resulted in reduced commercial real estate transaction volume, and such conditions may continue or worsen. We may be prohibited from selling properties under provisions of our debt agreements or otherwise may not succeed in selling properties or other assets and any sales may be delayed or may not occur or, if sales do occur, the terms may not meet our expectations, and we may incur losses in connection with any sales. If we are unable to realize proceeds from the sale of assets sufficient to allow us to reduce our leverage to a level we, or possible financing sources, believe appropriate, we may be unable to fund capital expenditures or future acquisitions to grow our business. In addition, we may elect to change or abandon our strategy and forego or abandon property or other asset sales.

We may seek to develop, redevelop or reposition certain of our properties, which could subject us to certain associated risks. These risks include cost overruns and untimely completion of construction due to, among other things, weather conditions, inflation, labor or material shortages or delays in receiving permits or other governmental approvals, as well as the availability and pricing of financing on favorable terms or at all. While the rate of inflation has declined significantly in 2024, it remains above historic levels, and the global economy continues to experience commodity pricing and other inflation, including inflation impacting wages and employee benefits. It is uncertain whether inflation will decline, remain relatively steady or increase; however, some market forecasts indicate that inflation rates may remain elevated for a prolonged period. These conditions have increased the costs for materials, other goods and labor, including construction materials, and caused some delays in construction activities, and these conditions may continue and worsen. These pricing increases, as well as increases in labor costs, could result in substantial unanticipated delays and increased development and renovation costs and could prevent the initiation or the completion of development, redevelopment or repositioning activities. In addition, decreased demand for industrial and logistics space, as well as current economic conditions and volatility in the commercial real estate markets, generally, may cause delays in leasing these properties or possible loss of tenancies and may negatively impact our ability to generate cash flows from these properties that meet or exceed our cost of investment. Any of these risks associated with our current or future development, redevelopment and repositioning activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although inflation has eased since its peak in 2021 and 2022, inflationary pressures continue, due in part to changing tariffs and trade policies and related uncertainty. The potential for increased tariffs and trade barriers, as well as geopolitical risks, adds uncertainty to the long-term outlook for inflation and interest rates and a reacceleration of inflation could trigger a reversal in recent interest rate decreases. It is uncertain whether inflation will decline, remain relatively steady or increase. Commodity pricing and other inflation, including inflation impacting wages and employee benefits, have increased in the past several years and may further increase. These conditions have increased the costs for materials, other goods and labor, including construction materials, and caused some delays in construction activities, and these conditions may continue and worsen. These pricing increases, as well as increases in labor costs, could result in substantial unanticipated delays and increased development and renovation costs and could prevent the initiation or the completion of development, redevelopment or repositioning activities.

A significant number of our properties are located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, which creates geographic concentration risks. Oahu’s remote location on a volcanic island makes our properties there vulnerable to certain risks from natural disasters, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, as well as possible sea rise as a result of climate change, which could cause damage to our properties, affect our Hawaii tenants’ abilities to pay rent to us and cause the values of our properties and our securities to decline. Further, the operating results and values of our Hawaii Properties can be impacted by local market conditions, including economic downturns or a possible recession as a result of inflationary conditions or otherwise, as well as possible government action that may limit our ability to increase rents.

We are subject to risks and could be exposed to additional costs from adverse weather, natural disasters and adverse impacts from global climate change. For example, our properties could be severely damaged or destroyed from either singular extreme weather events (such as floods, storms and wildfires) or through long-term impacts of climatic conditions (such as precipitation frequency, weather instability and rise of sea levels). We own a significant number of properties in the southeastern United States which has been increasingly impacted by severe weather and rising sea levels in recent years. Severe weather events and climatic conditions could also adversely impact us and the tenants of our properties if we or they are unable to operate our or their businesses due to damage resulting from such events. Insurance may not adequately cover all losses sustained by us or the tenants of our properties. If we fail to adequately prepare for such events, our revenues, results of operations and financial condition may be impacted. In addition, we may incur significant costs in preparing for possible future climate change and we may not realize desirable returns on those investments.

In recent years, the global economy, including the U.S. economy, experienced supply chain disruptions, and these supply chain challenges reduced the availability of goods and materials, which caused price inflation and increased the time from order to receipt of goods and materials. Although supply chain conditions have since stabilized, we cannot assure that there will not be future, similar supply chain disruptions. In addition, increasing market and government concerns about climate change may cause changes in the process for manufacturing, producing and transporting of goods and materials. Market and governmental responses to supply chain challenges and climate change could result in reduced transporting of goods and lower demand for industrial and logistics properties. For example, if increased nearshoring of manufacturing, decreased global trade and increased localization of commercial ecosystems occur, there may be reduced volume of, and travel distance for, transporting goods, which may reduce demand for our properties. In addition, emerging technologies could reduce the demand for industrial and logistics properties. For example, if 3D printing technology, which allows for more localized manufacture and production of products, expands and gains wide market acceptance, the demand for transporting and storing goods at our properties may decrease and other technological changes could be developed and adopted in the future that have a similar effect. If so, our properties may decline in value and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

For these reasons, among others, our distribution rate may not increase for an indefinite period or we may cease paying distributions to our shareholders.

Current wording

For these reasons, among others, our distribution rate may decline or we may cease paying distributions to our shareholders.

Previous wording

The SEC has adopted rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and periodic disclosure of a registrant’s cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance in annual reports. With the SEC particularly focused on cybersecurity, we expect increased scrutiny of RMR’s policies and systems designed to manage our cybersecurity risks and our related disclosures. In addition, the SEC has indicated that one of its examination priorities for the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is to continue to examine cybersecurity procedures and controls, including testing the implementation of these procedures and controls.

Current wording

Public companies are required to disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and periodic disclosure of a registrant’s cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance in annual reports. With the SEC’s continued focus on cybersecurity, we expect increased scrutiny of RMR’s policies and systems designed to manage our cybersecurity risks and our related disclosures.

Previous wording

Any failure by RMR or other third party vendors to maintain the security, proper function and availability of their respective information technology and systems could result in financial losses, interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, cause us to be in default of material contracts and subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

Current wording

Any failure by RMR or other third party vendors to maintain the security, proper function and availability of their respective information technology and systems or to adequately protect personal data, or any failure by RMR, our or other third party vendors to provide the appropriate regulatory and other notifications in a timely manner could result in financial losses, interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, cause us to be in default of material contracts and subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

Previous wording

RMR is incorporating artificial intelligence, or AI, into some of its business workflows and processes, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability and increased regulatory costs and adversely affect our results of operations.

Current wording

RMR incorporates artificial intelligence into some of its business workflows and processes, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability and increased regulatory costs and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Previous wording

RMR has begun using AI and machine learning technologies to enhance certain workflows and processes used in its business, and its research into and continued deployment of such capabilities remain ongoing. AI is still in its early stages, and the introduction and incorporation of AI technologies may result in unintended consequences or other new or expanded risks and liabilities. If the content, analyses or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are, or are alleged to be, deficient, inaccurate or biased, such as due to limitations in AI algorithms, insufficient or biased base data or flawed training methodologies, our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation may be adversely affected. Additionally, AI technology is continuously evolving, and RMR may adopt and deploy AI technologies that could become obsolete earlier than expected, and there can be no assurance that we will realize the desired or anticipated benefits from AI. Also, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products and services more quickly or more successfully than RMR, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations.

Current wording

RMR uses generative artificial intelligence and/or machine learning technologies, or collectively, AI Technologies, to enhance certain workflows and processes used in its business, and its research into and continued deployment of such capabilities remain ongoing. AI Technologies are evolving, and the introduction and incorporation of AI Technologies may result in unintended consequences or other new or expanded risks and liabilities and RMR may not be able to anticipate, prevent, mitigate or remediate all potential risks and liabilities. If the content, analyses or recommendations that AI Technologies applications assist in producing are, or are alleged to be, deficient, inaccurate or biased, such as due to limitations in AI Technologies algorithms, insufficient or biased base data or flawed training methodologies, our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation may be adversely affected. Additionally, AI Technologies are continuously evolving, and RMR may adopt and deploy AI Technologies that could become obsolete earlier than expected, and there can be no assurance that we will realize the desired or anticipated benefits from AI Technologies. Also, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI Technologies into their products and services more quickly or more successfully than RMR, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations.

Previous wording

The use of AI applications to support business processes carries inherent risks related to data privacy and security, such as unintended or inadvertent transmission of proprietary or sensitive information, including personal data. AI presents emerging ethical issues, and RMR may be unsuccessful in identifying and resolving these issues before they arise. If RMR’s use of AI becomes controversial, it may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liability. There is uncertainty in the legal and regulatory landscape for AI, which is not fully developed, and any laws, regulations or industry standards adopted in response to the emergence of AI may be burdensome, could entail significant costs and may restrict or impede RMR’s ability to successfully develop, adopt and deploy AI technologies efficiently and effectively.

Previous wording

There remains a continued focus from regulators, investors, tenants and other stakeholders concerning corporate sustainability. For example, the SEC has adopted climate change related regulations and certain states have enacted climate focused disclosure laws and we may incur significant costs in compliance with such rules if and when such regulations become effective. Some investors may use ESG factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us, or otherwise do business with us, if they believe our or RMR’s policies relating to corporate sustainability are inadequate. Third party providers of corporate sustainability ratings and reports on companies have increased in number, resulting in varied and, in some cases, inconsistent standards. In addition, the criteria by which companies’ corporate sustainability practices are assessed are evolving, which could result in greater expectations of us and RMR and cause us and RMR to undertake costly initiatives to satisfy such new criteria. Alternatively, if we or RMR elect not to or are unable to satisfy such new criteria or do not meet the criteria of a specific third party provider, some investors may conclude that our or RMR’s policies with respect to corporate sustainability are inadequate. Pursuant to RMR’s zero emissions goal, RMR has pledged to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to net zero by 2050 with a 50% reduction commitment by 2029 from a 2019 baseline. We and RMR may face reputational damage in the event that our or their corporate sustainability procedures or standards do not meet the goals that we or RMR have set or the standards set by various constituencies. If we and RMR fail to comply with ESG related regulations and to satisfy the expectations of investors and our tenants and other stakeholders or our or RMR’s announced goals and other initiatives are not executed as planned, our and RMR’s reputation could be adversely affected, and our revenues, results of operations and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted. In addition, we may incur significant costs in attempting to comply with regulatory requirements, ESG policies or third party expectations or demands.

Current wording

There remains a continued focus from regulators, investors, tenants and other stakeholders concerning corporate sustainability. We are, and expect to continue to be, subject to various proposed, new and evolving sustainability laws and requirements adopted by certain states and regulators, including both voluntary and mandatory disclosure requirements that may impact how we conduct business, and we may incur significant costs in compliance with such rules if and when such regulations become effective. Some investors may use ESG factors to guide their investment strategies and, in some cases, may choose not to invest in us, or otherwise do business with us, if they believe our or RMR’s policies relating to corporate sustainability are not aligned with their own policies. Third party providers of corporate sustainability ratings and reports on companies have increased in number, resulting in varied and, in some cases, inconsistent standards. If we or RMR elect not to or are unable to satisfy the criteria by which companies’ corporate responsibility practices are assessed or do not meet the criteria of a specific third party provider, some investors may conclude that our or RMR’s policies with respect to corporate sustainability are inadequate. Pursuant to RMR’s zero emissions goal, RMR has pledged to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to net zero by 2050 with a 50% reduction commitment by 2029 from a 2019 baseline. We and RMR may face reputational damage in the event that our or their corporate sustainability procedures or standards do not meet the goals that we or RMR have set or the standards set by various constituencies. In addition, there are efforts by some stakeholders and governmental authorities to reduce companies’ efforts regarding ESG, including human capital management-related matters, and anti-ESG or anti-diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, sentiment has gained momentum across the United States, with several states and governmental authorities enacting or proposing anti-ESG or anti-DEI policies or legislation and filing suits alleging that ESG or DEI measures or initiatives violate law. Additionally, in January 2025, President Trump signed a number of executive orders focused on DEI, which indicate continued scrutiny of DEI initiatives and potential related investigations of certain private entities with respect to DEI initiatives, including publicly traded companies. If our and RMR’s practices and programs are deemed to be in contradiction of such initiatives, we and RMR could be subject to government investigations or lawsuits that could negatively impact us and RMR and affect our business, financial condition or reputation. Increasingly, different stakeholder groups and government authorities have divergent views on ESG matters, which increases the risk that any action or lack thereof with respect to ESG matters will be perceived negatively by at least some stakeholders or governmental authorities and adversely impact our repu…

We are party to transactions with related parties, including with entities controlled by Adam D. Portnoy or to which RMR or its subsidiaries provide management services. Our agreements with related parties or in respect of transactions among related parties may not be on terms as favorable to us as they would have been if they had been negotiated among unrelated parties. Our shareholders or the shareholders of RMR Inc. or other related parties may challenge such related party transactions. If any challenges to related party transactions were to be successful, we might not realize the benefits expected from the transactions being challenged. Moreover, any such challenge could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and growth and could adversely affect our ability to realize the benefits expected from the transactions, whether or not the allegations have merit or are substantiated.

Previous wording

Dividends payable by U.S. corporations to noncorporate shareholders, such as individuals, trusts and estates, are generally eligible for reduced federal income tax rates applicable to “qualified dividends.” Distributions paid by REITs generally are not treated as “qualified dividends” under the IRC and the reduced rates applicable to such dividends do not generally apply. However, for tax years beginning before 2026, REIT dividends paid to noncorporate shareholders are generally taxed at an effective tax rate lower than applicable ordinary income tax rates due to the availability of a deduction under the IRC for specified forms of income from passthrough entities. More favorable rates will nevertheless continue to apply to regular corporate “qualified” dividends, which may cause some investors to perceive that an investment in a REIT is less attractive than an investment in a non-REIT entity that pays dividends, thereby reducing the demand and market price of our common shares.
