[8-K] Seven Hills Realty Trust Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Seven Hills Realty Trust authorized the purchase from The RMR Group LLC of a $40 million hotel loan (SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Revere, MA) and a $27 million industrial loan (400 Devon Park Drive, Wayne/ Tredyffrin Township, PA), with closing expected by year‑end. The purchase price for each loan equals its current unpaid balance, and each party will bear its own out‑of‑pocket costs.

As of September 30, 2025, the hotel loan had committed principal $37,000,000, a coupon S + 3.95%, maturity 7/1/2026, LTV 73%, and risk rating 3. The industrial loan had committed principal $27,000,000, a coupon S + 4.25%, maturity 7/18/2027, LTV 62%, and risk rating 3. Given relationships among SEVN, Tremont, and RMR (including Tremont owning 11.3% of SEVN’s common shares as of September 30, 2025), the transaction was considered and authorized by the Independent Trustees and the Board, acting separately.

Insights

REIT credit analyst

SEVN plans to acquire two related‑party loans with mid‑teens LTVs and risk rating 3.

Seven Hills Realty Trust plans to buy two loans from RMR, priced at each loan’s current unpaid balance. As of September 30, 2025, the hotel asset shows 73% LTV and coupon S + 3.95% to 7/1/2026. The industrial asset shows 62% LTV and coupon S + 4.25% to 7/18/2027. Both carry risk rating 3, indicating moderate risk within the manager’s scale.

Governance is a focal point because SEVN, Tremont, and RMR are affiliated. The filing notes the transaction was considered and authorized by Independent Trustees and the Board, acting separately. Cash consideration will depend on current unpaid balances; each party covers its own expenses.

Execution depends on closing by year‑end. The shorter hotel maturity (2026) concentrates near‑term refinancing or payoff timing, while the industrial loan’s later maturity (2027) staggers exposure. Subsequent disclosures may provide updates on closing and balances.
