Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The RMR Group Inc. announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, The RMR Group LLC, entered into new long-term management agreements with Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) as OPI emerged from chapter 11 protection on June 17, 2026. These Third Amended and Restated Business and Property Management Agreements each have an initial five-year term.

Under the amended business management agreement, RMR LLC will receive a $14.0 million annual fee for the first two years. The amended property management agreement provides for a 3% property management fee and a 5% construction supervision fee, consistent with prior terms. RMR LLC will also receive OPI common shares equal to 2% of OPI’s common equity on the effective date, with the potential for up to an additional 8% of OPI’s common equity based on financial and/or performance metrics set by OPI’s board. The filing emphasizes that these arrangements and future equity issuance are subject to various business, operational and market risks outlined in the company’s SEC reports.

Insights

RMR secures a multi-year fee stream and potential equity upside tied to OPI’s post-bankruptcy performance.

The RMR Group LLC locked in five-year amended business and property management agreements with Office Properties Income Trust as OPI exited chapter 11. The structure includes a fixed $14.0 million annual business management fee for the first two years plus percentage-based property and construction fees.

The equity component is notable: RMR LLC receives OPI common shares equal to 2% of OPI’s common equity at emergence and may receive up to an additional 8% if future financial and/or performance metrics, to be set by OPI’s board, are met. This ties part of RMR’s economics directly to OPI’s recovery.

The filing highlights risks around OPI’s operations after chapter 11 and the uncertainty of meeting performance metrics. Actual value from fees and equity will depend on OPI’s tenant relationships, financing environment and broader market conditions, as discussed in RMR’s and OPI’s ongoing SEC risk factor disclosures.

Initial term of agreements Five years Amended OPI Management Agreements term length
Restructuring Support Agreement financial
"entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with OPI"
A restructuring support agreement is a written deal between a company and its key creditors or stakeholders that lays out how debts, contracts, or ownership will be changed to fix the company’s finances. It matters to investors because it reduces uncertainty by signaling a negotiated path to solvency or debt relief—like neighbors agreeing on a repayment plan—so it influences how much creditors and shareholders are likely to recover and how quickly the company can move forward.
Chapter 11 regulatory
"commenced voluntary cases (the “OPI Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11"
Chapter 11 is a U.S. bankruptcy process that lets a financially distressed company keep operating while it reorganizes its debts and business plan under court supervision. Think of it as a formal pause that allows the company to renegotiate payments, shed contracts or assets, and seek a path to profitability instead of being liquidated; investors watch it because it can change the value and priority of claims, equity dilution, or the likelihood of recovery.

forward-looking statements regulatory
"contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

As previously reported, on October 30, 2025, Office Properties Income Trust (“OPI”), and certain of OPI’s subsidiaries, commenced voluntary cases (the “OPI Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with the OPI Chapter 11 Cases, on October 30, 2025, The RMR Group LLC (“RMR LLC”), the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, in its capacity as manager of OPI, entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with OPI, certain of OPI’s lenders and certain of OPI’s subsidiaries. Pursuant to the RSA, RMR LLC agreed to terms for a new business management agreement and a new property management agreement with OPI, as set forth in the management term sheet attached to the RSA.

 

As previously reported, on April 21, 2026, OPI filed the Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Office Properties Income Trust and Its Debtor Affiliates (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented in accordance with its terms, the “Plan”).  On April 22, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Confirming Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Office Properties Income Trust and Its Debtor Affiliates (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the Plan.

 

On June 17, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective, and OPI emerged from chapter 11 protection. On the Effective Date, RMR LLC entered into (a) a Third Amended and Restated Business Management Agreement (the “Amended Business Management Agreement”) and (b) a Third Amended and Restated Property Management Agreement (the “Amended Property Management Agreement” and, together with the Amended Business Management Agreement, the “Amended OPI Management Agreements”), each with OPI.

 

The initial term of each Amended OPI Management Agreement is five years, and RMR LLC will be paid (i) an annual fee under the Amended Business Management Agreement of $14.0 million for the first two years, and (ii) a 3% property management fee and 5% construction supervision fee under the Amended Property Management Agreement, consistent with RMR LLC’s prior property management agreement with OPI.

 

In addition, the Amended Business Management Agreement provides for (i) the issuance to RMR LLC of a number of OPI common shares equal to 2% of OPI’s common equity on the Effective Date and (ii) the issuance to RMR LLC of a number of OPI common shares equal to up to 8% of OPI’s common equity upon the satisfaction of certain financial and/or performance metrics to be determined by OPI’s board of trustees. The Amended Property Management Agreement also contains certain customary major decisions requiring the approval of a majority of OPI’s board of trustees.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended OPI Management Agreements does not purport to be complete.  Copies of the Amended Business Management Agreement and Amended Property Management Agreement have been included as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by OPI on June 23, 2026.
