Voluntary Petitions for Relief under Chapter
11
On October 30, 2025 (the
“Petition Date”), OPI and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors” or the “Company”)
commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter
11 Cases are being filed to implement a court-supervised financial restructuring pursuant to the terms described in the RSA (as defined
below). The Debtors are seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption “In re Office Properties Income
Trust, et al. ” The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession under
the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy
Court. The Debtors have filed a number of customary motions seeking “first day” relief intended to support operations during
the Chapter 11 Cases.
The Debtors will notice a
hearing for November 3, 2025, or such other date as stated on the docket, to seek emergency relief with respect to certain “first
day” matters. Participation at the hearing will only be permitted by an audio and video connection. The Debtors’ proposed
claims and noticing agent has established a website (link below), which contains the Debtors’ filings on the Bankruptcy Court’s
docket as well as instructions for how to participate in the hearing by audio and video connection. In addition, important information
about the Chapter 11 Cases, including court filings and other information may be found at the website. Such information may be filed
with the Bankruptcy Court without the filing of an accompanying Current Report on Form 8-K. This website contains third-party content
and is provided for convenience only. The documents and other information available on this website are not incorporated by reference

Restructuring Support Agreement
On October 30, 2025, OPI
entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with an ad hoc group of holders of OPI’s 9.000% Senior
Secured Notes due September 2029, issued pursuant to (a) that certain indenture, dated as of June 20, 2024, by and among OPI, the subsidiary
guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee and collateral agent,
and (b) that certain Indenture, dated as of October 8, 2024, by and among OPI, the subsidiary guarantors parties thereto, and U.S. Bank,
as trustee and collateral agent, each as may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time
to time in accordance with the terms thereof (such notes, collectively, the “September 2029 Senior Secured Notes”), and The
RMR Group LLC (“RMR”), in its capacity as manager of the Company (RMR, collectively with the other parties to the RSA other
than the Debtors, the “Consenting Stakeholders”).
The RSA, including the restructuring
term sheet attached thereto (the “Restructuring Term Sheet”), contemplates a comprehensive restructuring (the “Restructuring
Transactions”) of the Company’s debt obligations and capital structure. Among other things, the Restructuring Transactions
contemplate the following transactions and creditor treatment to be implemented in a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”)
to be filed in the coming weeks:
the
September 2029 Senior Secured Notes will convert their debt into reorganized common equity
valued at $98.0 million and $420.0 million of takeback debt in the form of secured
exit notes;
those
certain 3.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, issued pursuant to that certain Indenture,
dated as of December 11, 2024, by and among OPI, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto,
and U.S. Bank, as trustee and collateral agent, as may be amended, restated, amended and
restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof (the “2027 Senior Secured Notes”) will receive certain or all of
their collateral properties, cash, or takeback debt in full satisfaction of their claim;
OPI’s priority guaranteed notes and any unsecured deficiency claims of the 2027 Senior Secured Notes will receive reorganized
common equity after accounting for such equity (a) issued in proposed equity rights offerings and (b) in satisfaction of certain senior
and other claims;
OPI’s
other series of unsecured notes and any unsecured deficiency claims of the September 2029
Senior Secured Notes will receive (a) any remaining reorganized
common equity after accounting for equity (i) issued in two proposed equity rights offerings
(the “Equity Rights Offerings”) and (ii) in satisfaction of certain senior and other claims and
(b) subscription rights to purchase reorganized common equity in the Equity Rights Offerings;
and
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
the
remainder of the Debtors’ funded debt will be rendered unimpaired.
Upon consummation, the Restructuring
Transactions will substantially reduce the Company’s balance sheet liabilities from approximately $2.4 billion in total debt to
approximately $1.3 billion in total debt upon emergence.
The RSA contains certain
representations, warranties, and covenants on the part of the Company and the Consenting Stakeholders, including limitations on the parties’
ability to pursue alternative transactions, commitments by the Consenting Stakeholders to support the Plan, and commitments of the Company
and the Consenting Stakeholders to cooperate in good faith to finalize the documents and agreements contemplated by the RSA and the Restructuring
Term Sheet.
The RSA also
contemplates a new business management agreement and a new property management agreement with RMR pursuant to a term sheet attached
thereto, which agreements would take effect upon effectiveness of the Plan. Pursuant to the term sheet, the initial term of the new
management agreements is five years, with the annual fee under the business management agreement set at $14.0 million per year for
the first two years and the fees under the property management agreement consistent with the fees under the existing property
management agreement. OPI’s current management agreements with RMR will remain in effect during the pendency of the Chapter 11
Cases, and RMR will continue to manage OPI’s business in the ordinary course.
The RSA includes certain
milestones (the “Milestones”) for the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases, which include entry of an order by the Bankruptcy
Court confirming the Plan no later than 175 calendar days following the Petition Date and the occurrence of the effective date of the
Plan no later than 185 calendar days following the Petition Date. The Required Consenting September 2029 Senior Secured Noteholders (as
defined in the RSA) may extend or waive the Milestones pursuant to the terms of the RSA.
The RSA may be terminated
upon, among other things: (a) the failure to meet the Milestones; (b) the occurrence of certain breaches of the RSA; (c) the
mutual agreement of the parties; and (d) in the case of the Company, if the board of directors, board of managers, board of trustees,
or such similar governing body (including any special committee) reasonably determines in good faith, after consulting with, and receiving
written advice from, outside counsel that performance under the RSA would be inconsistent with its applicable fiduciary duties.
The Restructuring Transactions
are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the RSA, the Plan, and related definitive
documents. There can be no assurance that the Debtors will successfully complete the Restructuring Transactions on the terms contemplated
by the RSA and the Restructuring Term Sheet, on different terms, or at all.
The foregoing description
of the RSA and the Restructuring Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the RSA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 30, 2025, the
Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and related matters.
A copy of the press release
is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s
Securities
The Company cautions that
trading in its securities (including its common shares and notes) during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and
poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery,
if any, by holders of such securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of Company’s common shares of beneficial
interest could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.
Securities Law Matters
Any new securities to be
issued pursuant to the Plan or the Equity Rights Offerings will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or any state securities laws, but will be issued pursuant to exemptions from such registration, including those provided
by the Securities Act and/or section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws.
This Current Report does
not constitute an offer to sell or buy, nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or buy, any securities, nor is this Current Report a
solicitation of consents to or votes to accept any chapter 11 plan.
