NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diversified Healthcare Trust and its subsidiaries, or we, us, or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, or our Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets. ~~We have made reclassifications to the financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or equity.~~

We have been, are currently, and expect in the future to be involved in claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, some of which may involve material amounts. Also, the defense and resolution of these claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings may require us to incur significant expense. We account for claims and litigation losses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, ~~ASC~~Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. Under ASC 450, loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable and estimable losses at our best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at our estimate of the minimum loss. These estimates are often developed prior to knowing the amount of the ultimate loss, require the application of considerable judgment, and are refined as additional information becomes known. Accordingly, we are often initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss and therefore the estimated minimum loss amount, which could be zero, is recorded; and then, as information becomes known, the minimum loss amount is updated, as appropriate. A minimum or best estimate amount may be increased or decreased when events result in a changed expectation.

We ~~have~~are party to a joint venture arrangement with an institutional ~~investor for 1 of our~~investor. This joint venture arrangement owns a life science ~~properties~~property located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor owns a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we own the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture. We have determined that this joint venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board, or~~ FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We concluded that we must consolidate this VIE because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses of, and the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be significant to the VIE, and therefore are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The assets of this VIE were ~~$981,204~~$935,340 and ~~$1,015,661~~$970,142 as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and consist primarily of the net real estate owned by the joint venture. The liabilities of this VIE were ~~$698,667~~$690,714 and ~~$704,344~~$697,129 as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and consist primarily of mortgage debts secured by the property. The investor's interest in this consolidated entity is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 76 for further information about this joint venture.

~~Note 2. Recent Events and Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Recent Events.~~ In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic and, in response to the outbreak, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency in the United States and many states and municipalities declared public health emergencies. Various governmental and market responses attempting to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus have negatively impacted, and continue to negatively impact, the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. In the United States, individuals are being encouraged to practice social distancing, are generally restricted from gathering in groups and, in

~~Table of Contents~~

~~DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)~~

~~(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)~~

some areas, either have been or are subject to stay at home orders, which restrict or prohibit social gatherings, travel and non-essential activities outside of their homes. We do not know when these restrictions will abate.

Our result of operations and cash flows from our senior living communities are dependent on our operators' ability to generate returns to us. Senior living community operators have experienced disruptions, including limitations on in-person tours and new move-ins, and are experiencing challenges in attracting new residents to our communities. In addition, our operators are experiencing increased expenses due to increased labor costs, including higher health benefits costs, and increased costs and consumption of supplies, including personal protective equipment, which costs reduce our returns.

As a result of the disruptions caused by the pandemic, we have taken various measures to improve our liquidity and financial flexibility. Since March 2020, we have reduced our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares to $0.01 per common share, reduced our planned capital expenditures, issued $1,000,000 of senior notes, repaid all amounts outstanding under our $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, sold assets for aggregate sales prices of $120,776 and entered agreements to sell additional properties for $167,392. In addition, on June 30, 2020, we amended the agreements that govern our revolving credit facility and our $200,000 term loan. Among other things, the amendments require that we maintain $200,000 of unrestricted cash and/or undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility and restrict our ability to incur additional debt (with the exception of borrowings under our revolving credit facility).

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements.~~ ~~In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)~~: ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~, which requires that entities use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. We adopted this standard which was effective as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.2. Real Estate Properties

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we owned ~~407~~392 properties located in 3736 states and Washington, D.C., including ~~22 properties classified as held for sale, 10 properties scheduled for closure and/or sale and~~ 1 life science property owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest.

We regularly evaluate our assets for indicators of impairment. Impairment indicators may include declining tenant or resident occupancy, weak or declining profitability from the property, decreasing tenant cash flows or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life, and legislative, market or industry changes that could permanently reduce the value of an asset. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the affected assets by

Table of Contents

DIVERSIFIED HEALTHCARE TRUST

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

comparing it to the expected future cash flows to be generated from those assets. The future cash flows are subjective and are based in part on assumptions regarding hold periods, market rents and terminal capitalization rates. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

~~Acquisition Activities:~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a reversal of impairment charges of $174 related to the estimated costs to sell 10 senior living communities that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and changed the status of those communities from held for sale to held and used as of March 31, 2021.

~~In January 2020, we acquired a vacant land parcel adjacent to a property we own in our portfolio of medical office~~Acquisitions and ~~life science properties, or our Office Portfolio, segment located in Tempe, Arizona for $2,600, excluding acquisition costs.~~

~~Disposition Activities:~~Dispositions:

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we sold 175 properties for an aggregate sales price of ~~$80,601,~~$104,500, excluding closing costs, as presented in the table below. The sales of these properties do not represent significant dispositions, individually or in the aggregate, ~~nor~~and we do wenot believe ~~they~~these sales represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of ~~the~~

Note 4.3. Leases

We are a lessor of medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the premises demised under the leases; therefore, we have determined to evaluate our leases as lease arrangements.

Certain of our leases provide for base rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over

the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term.

We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by ~~$491~~$1,679 and ~~$1,186~~$491 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$3,029~~$3,804 and ~~$3,550~~$3,029 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Rents receivable, excluding receivables related to our properties classified as held for sale, if any, include ~~$102,691~~$108,180 and ~~$99,297~~$104,803 of straight line rent receivables at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including changes in the index or market based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. ~~We recognized such~~Such payments ~~totaling~~totaled $17,930 and $18,501 ~~and $19,317~~ for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled ~~$1,428~~$17,875 and ~~$1,506,~~$18,550, respectively, and ~~$56,792~~$54,634 and ~~$57,687~~$56,792 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled ~~$3,522~~$54,495 and ~~$3,906,~~$56,742, respectively.

Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability. For leases where we are the lessee, we recognized a right of use asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments with rental payments being applied to the lease liability and the right of use asset being amortized over the term of the lease. The values of the right of use asset and related liability representing our future obligation under the lease arrangement for which we are the lessee were ~~$4,256~~$4,174 and ~~$4,423,~~$4,366, respectively, as of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$4,319~~$4,237 and ~~$4,461,~~$4,410, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

These leases are short term in nature, are cancelable with no fee or do not result in an annual expense in excess of our capitalization policy and, as a result, are not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The interest rate premium and facility fee are each subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. On March 31, 2021, we borrowed $800,000 under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and November ~~2, 2020,~~1, 2021, we ~~had 0 outstanding borrowings and $1,000,000 available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility.~~

At September 30, 2020, the annual interest rate payable on amounts outstanding under this term loan was 2.8%. The weighted average annual interest rate for amounts outstanding under this term loan was 2.7% and 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 2.7% and 3.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.

In February 2020, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by 1 of our life science properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,554, a maturity date in March 2026 and an annual interest rate of 6.25%. As a result of this prepayment, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $246 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowingswere fully drawn under our revolving credit facility.

In April 2020, we redeemed all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2020 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of $200,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $6,750. We funded this redemption with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In May 2020, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by 1 of our medical office properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,213, a maturity date in January 2022 and an annual interest rate of 7.49%. As a result of the prepayment of this mortgage note, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $155 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

~~In June 2020,~~February 2021, we issued ~~$1,000,000~~$500,000 aggregate principal amount of our ~~9.75%~~4.375% senior notes due ~~2025~~2031 in an underwritten public offering raising net proceeds of ~~$982,300,~~$491,357, after deducting estimated offering expenses and underwriters' discounts. These notes are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded subsidiaries, including pledged subsidiaries under the agreement governing our revolving credit facility, or our credit agreement, and require semi-annual interest payments through maturity. Prior to June 15, 2022, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of these notes at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of these notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the make-whole amount set forth in the indenture which governs these notes, as supplemented, or our 2025 Notes Indenture. Prior to June 15, 2022, we may also, at our option, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of these notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the 2025 Notes Indenture, so long as at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of these notes remains outstanding after each such redemption. In addition, we have the option to redeem all or a portion of these notes at any time on or after June 15, 2022 at the redemption prices set forth in the 2025 Notes Indenture. We used the net proceeds from this offering to prepay in full in February 2021 our ~~$250,000 unsecured~~$200,000 term loan which was scheduled to mature in ~~June 2020 and to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.~~September 2022.

In January 2021, we and our lenders amended the agreements governing our revolving credit facility and our $200,000 term loan, or collectively, our credit and term loan agreements, in order to provide us with certain flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the amendments:

•certain of the financial covenants under our credit and term loan agreements, including covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, have been waived through June 2022, or the Amendment Period;

•the revolving credit facility commitments have been reduced from $1,000,000 to $800,000, and as a result of the reduction in commitments, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021;

•we had the ability to fund $250,000 of capital expenditures per year, which increased to $350,000 per year following the repayment of our term loan in February 2021, and are restricted in our ability to acquire real property as defined in our credit agreement;

•the interest rate premium over LIBOR under our revolving credit facility and term loan increased by 30 basis points;

•certain covenants and restrictions on distributions to common shareholders, share repurchases, capital expenditures, acquiring additional properties and incurring additional indebtedness (in each case subject to various exceptions), and the minimum liquidity requirement of $200,000 will remain in place during the Amendment Period; and

•we are generally be required to apply the net cash proceeds from the disposition of assets, capital markets transactions, and debt financings ~~or COVID-19 government stimulus programs, if allowed,~~ to the repayment of any amounts outstanding ~~loans under the revolving credit facility, if any;~~

As of September 30, 2021, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our revolving credit facility and our public debt covenants as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our operations. We are not allowed to incur additional debt while this ratio is below 1.5x on a pro forma basis. We believe we were in compliance with the remaining terms and conditions of the respective covenants under our credit ~~and term loan agreements~~agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Although we have taken steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a protracted negative ~~economic~~ impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may cause increased pressure on our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants. Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. If our operating results and financial condition are significantly negatively impacted by economic conditions or otherwise, we may fail to satisfy covenants and conditions under our credit agreement or fail to satisfy our public debt covenants.

We ~~have~~are party to a joint venture arrangement with an institutional investor for 1 of our life science properties located in Boston, Massachusetts. The investor owns a 45% equity interest in the joint venture, and we own the remaining 55% equity interest in the joint venture.

The portion of the joint venture's net income and comprehensive income not attributable to us, or ~~$1,100~~$1,339 and ~~$1,444~~$1,100 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$3,838~~$4,238 and ~~$4,279~~$3,838 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, is reported as a noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

In assessing whether we have a controlling interest in this joint venture arrangement and are required to consolidate the accounts of the joint venture entity, we considered the members' rights to residual gains and obligations to absorb losses, which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and which member has the power to direct those activities.

In addition, prior to January 1, 2020, our SHOP segment included triple net leased senior living communities that provided short term and long term residential living and in some instances care and other services for residents and from which we received rents from Five Star. Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with new management and related agreements, or collectively, the New Management Agreements, for all of our senior living communities operated by Five Star. Prior periods have been recast to reflect these reportable segments for all periods presented.communities.

We also report “non-segment” operations, which consists of triple net leased senior living communities ~~which~~that are leased to operators ~~other than Five Star~~ from which we receive rents, and wellness centers, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.

Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, established ~~the~~a Provider Relief Fund. Retention and use of the funds received under the CARES Act are subject to certain terms and conditions. The terms and conditions require that the funds be utilized to compensate for lost revenues that are attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic and for eligible costs to prevent, prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not covered by other sources. Further, fund recipients are required to be participating in Medicare at the time of distribution and are subject to certain other terms and conditions, including quarterly reporting requirements. In addition, fund recipients are required to have billed Medicare during 2019 and to continue to provide care after January 31, 2020 for diagnosis, testing or care for individuals with possible or actual COVID-19 cases. Any funds not used in accordance with the terms and conditions must be returned to HHS. As of September 30, 2020, we had received $15,459 in funds from the Provider Relief Fund to be used to support the operations of our managed senior living communities; we have currently determined that $7,346 of such funds meet the required terms and conditions. We have recognized $18,967 and $7,346 as other income with respect to our SHOP segment for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020. We currently expect to return the remaining $8,113 of such funds to HHS in November~~2021 and 2020, unless and to the extent we determine that such funds meet the required terms and conditions and have therefore included that amount in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020.respectively. We have applied for additional funds that may be available under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund; however, we may not receive any additional funding.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data or as otherwise stated)

$22,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Also pursuant to the Transaction Agreement: (1) commencing February 1, 2019, the aggregate amount of monthly minimum rent payable to us by Five Star under our previously existing master leases with Five Star was set at $11,000 as of February 1, 2019, subject to adjustment,; and subsequently reduced in accordance with the Transaction Agreement as a result of our subsequent sales of certain of the leased senior living communities, and no additional rent was payable to us by Five Star from such date until the Conversion Time; and (2) as of April 1, 2019, we purchased from Five Star $49,155 of unencumbered Qualifying PP&E (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) related to our senior living communities leased and operated by Five Star.

Pursuant to the New Management Agreements, Five Star receives a management fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for its direct costs and expenses related to such communities, as well as an annual incentive fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of all communities on a combined basis exceeds the target EBITDA for all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year, provided that in no event shall the incentive fee be greater than 1.5% of the gross revenues realized at all communities on a combined basis for such calendar year.

~~The New Management Agreements expire in 2034, subject to Five Star's right to extend for 2 consecutive~~ •~~five~~ year terms if Five Star achieves certain performance targets for the combined managed communities portfolio, unless earlier terminated. The New Management Agreements also provide us with the right to terminate the New Management Agreement for any community that does not earn 90% of the target EBITDA for such community for two consecutive calendar years or in any two of three consecutive calendar years, with the measurement period commencing January 1, 2021 (and the first termination not possible until the beginning of calendar year 2023), provided we may not in any calendar year terminate communities representing more than 20% of the combined revenues for all communities for the calendar year prior to such termination. Pursuantpursuant to a guaranty agreement dated as of January 1, 2020 made by Five Star in favor of our applicable subsidiaries, Five Star has guaranteed the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under ~~the~~our applicable ~~New Management Agreements.~~management agreements with Five Star.

On April 1, 2019, we concluded that the Restructuring Transaction constituted a reconsideration event requiring us to assess whether we held a controlling financial interest in Five Star. As a result of this assessment, we determined that Five Star was a VIE effective as of the date of the Transaction Agreement. We determined not to consolidate Five Star in our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we do not have the power to direct the activities of Five Star that most significantly impact Five Star's economic performance and therefore are not the primary beneficiary of Five Star. Effective January 1, 2020, we determined that Five Star iswas not a VIE and we ~~will~~continue to account for our ~~33.9%~~33.7% investment in Five Star using the equity method of accounting because we are deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over Five Star's most significant activities. We have elected to use the fair value option to account for our investment in Five Star.

~~Our Senior Living Communities Formerly Leased by~~2021 Amendments to our Management Arrangements with Five ~~Star~~Star.~~. Prior~~ On June 9, 2021, we and Five Star amended our management arrangements. The principal changes to the ~~Conversion Time, we leased senior living communities to~~management arrangements include:

•that Five Star ~~pursuant to five master leases~~is cooperating with ~~Five Star, each of which was terminated as of January 1, 2020 pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.~~

~~Under our previously existing leases with Five Star, Five Star paid~~ us ~~annual rent plus percentage rent equal to 4.0% of the increase~~ in ~~gross revenues at certain~~transitioning 108 of our senior living communities ~~over base year gross revenues as specified in~~with approximately 7,500 living units to other third party managers without our payment of any termination fee to Five Star;

•that we no longer have the ~~applicable leases. We recognized rental income payable by Five Star~~right to sell up to an additional $682,000 of $32,738 and $105,451 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes $538 of percentage rent payments we received from Five Star. Rental income from Five Star represented 12.8% and 13.4% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and the properties Five Star leased from us represented 27.0%, excluding properties held for sale, of our real estate investments, at cost, as of September 30, 2019. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, commencing February 1, 2019, no percentage rent was payable to ussenior living communities currently managed by Five Star and ~~annual~~terminate Five Star's management of those communities without our payment of a fee to Five Star upon sale;

•that Five Star is continuing to manage 120 of our senior living communities with approximately 18,000 living units, and that the skilled nursing units in all of our continuing care retirement communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, which then included approximately 1,500 living units, have been closed and are in the process of being evaluated and repositioned;

•that beginning in 2025, we will have the right to terminate up to 10% of the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, based on total revenues per year for failure to meet 80% of a target earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for the applicable period;

•that the incentive fee that Five Star may earn in any calendar year for the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage is no longer subject to a cap and that any senior living communities that are undergoing a major renovation or repositioning are excluded from the calculation of the incentive fee;

•that RMR LLC will oversee any major renovation or repositioning activities at the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage; and

•that the term of our management agreements with Five Star for our senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage was extended by two years to December 31, 2036.

Pursuant to these changes, we and Five Star entered into an amended and restated master management agreement, or the Master Management Agreement, for the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage and interim management agreements for the senior living communities that we and Five Star agreed to transition to new operators. These agreements replaced our prior management and omnibus agreements with Five Star. In addition, Five Star delivered to us a related amended and restated guaranty agreement pursuant to which Five Star is continuing to guarantee the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable management agreements.

As of September 30, 2021, we transitioned 69 of the 108 senior living communities containing 4,755 living units to new third party managers. From September 30, 2021 to November 3, 2021, we completed the transition of 30 senior living communities containing 1,845 living units to new third party managers. As of November 3, 2021, we have entered into agreements to transition 8 of the remaining 9 senior living communities to be transitioned containing 819 living units to new third party managers. We expect to complete the transition of 107 senior living communities from Five Star by December 31, 2021 and we currently intend to close the remaining senior living community that we and Five Star agreed to transition and are assessing opportunities to redevelop that community. We lease our senior living communities that have been transitioned to new managers to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to

~~rent payable to us by Five Star was adjusted as noted above. We previously determined percentage rent due under~~retention and other transition costs for these ~~leases annually and recognized it when all contingencies were met, which was typically at year end.~~

Our previously existing leases with Five Star were “triple net” leases, which generally required Five Star to pay rent and all property operating expenses, to indemnify us from liability which may arise by reason of our ownership of the properties, to maintain the properties at Five Star's expense, to remove and dispose of hazardous substances on the properties in compliance with applicable law and to maintain insurance on the properties for Five Star's and our benefit.

Additionally, the new third party managers have the ability to earn incentive fees equal to 15% to 25% of the amount by which EBITDA of the communities exceeds the target EBITDA. The new third party managers can also earn a construction supervision fee ranging between 3% and 5% of construction costs.

The initial terms of the management agreements with the new third party managers are generally five years, subject to automatic extensions of successive terms of two years each unless earlier terminated or timely notice of nonrenewal is delivered. The management agreements with the new third party managers also generally provide us with the right to terminate the management agreements for communities that do not ~~increase as a result~~earn 70% to 80% of ~~these purchases.~~the target EBITDA for such communities, after an agreed upon stabilized period.

Note ~~11.~~10. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR LLC

We have 0no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC. We have 2 agreements with RMR LLC to provide management services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to the property level operations of our medical office and life science ~~properties.~~properties and major renovation or repositioning activities at our senior living communities. We also have a subsidiary level management agreement with RMR LLC related to ~~one of our~~the life science ~~properties~~property located in Boston, Massachusetts, which we entered in connection with the joint venture arrangement for that life science property. Under that agreement, our subsidiary pays RMR LLC certain ~~business~~ management fees directly, which fees are credited against the business management fees payable by us to RMR LLC. See Note 1211 for further information regarding our relationship, agreements and transactions with RMR LLC.

~~Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR LLC, we~~We recognized net business management fees of ~~$5,004~~$5,986 and ~~$6,616~~$5,004 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$15,614~~$17,627 and ~~$20,917~~$15,614 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The net business management fees we recognized include $725 and $2,175 of management fees related to our subsidiary level management agreement with RMR LLC entered in connection with our joint venture arrangement for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of each of September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019, 0~~no estimated incentive fees are included in the net business management fees we recognized for the three or nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 or ~~2019.~~2020. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for ~~2020,~~2021, if any, will be based on our common share total return as defined in our business management agreement, for the ~~three-year~~three-year period ending December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, and will be payable in ~~2021.~~January 2022. We did not incur any incentive fee payable for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. We recognize business management and incentive fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

We and RMR LLC amended our business management agreement effective August 1, 2021 to replace the benchmark index used in the calculation of incentive management fees. Pursuant to ~~our property~~the amendment, for periods beginning on and after August 1, 2021, the MSCI U.S. REIT/Health Care REIT Index will replace the discontinued SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index and be used to calculate benchmark returns per share for purposes of determining any incentive management ~~agreement with~~fee payable by us to RMR ~~LLC, we~~LLC. For periods prior to August 1, 2021, the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index will continue to be used. Accordingly, the calculation of incentive management fees for the next three measurement periods will continue to use the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index in calculating the benchmark returns for periods through July 31, 2021. This change of index was due to S&P Global ceasing to publish the SNL U.S. REIT Healthcare Index.

We recognized aggregate net property management and construction supervision fees of ~~$3,477~~$2,931 and ~~$3,289~~$3,477 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We recognized aggregate net property management and construction supervision fees of $9,276 and $10,076 ~~and $9,844~~ for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of those amounts, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and ~~2019, respectively.

Note ~~13.~~12. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as such, are generally not subject to federal and most state income taxation on our operating income provided we distribute our taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain organization and operating requirements. We do, however, lease our managed senior living communities to our wholly owned TRSs that, unlike most of our subsidiaries, file a separate consolidated federal corporate income tax return and are subject to federal and state income taxes. Our consolidated income tax provision includes the income tax provision related to the operations of our TRSs and certain state income taxes we incur despite our taxation as a REIT. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, we recognized income tax expense of ~~$365~~$595 and ~~benefit of $146,~~$365, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, we recognized income tax expense of ~~$1,048~~$1,024 and ~~benefit of $47,~~$1,048, respectively.

Note ~~14.~~13. Weighted Average Common Shares (share amounts in thousands)

We calculate basic earnings per common share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of our common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested share awards and other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 39 and ~~2019,~~ 237 ~~and 42~~ unvested common shares, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 25 and ~~2019,~~ 235 ~~and 26~~ unvested common shares, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report.

~~Impact of COVID-19~~OVERVIEW

~~In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as~~We are a ~~pandemic~~REIT that was organized under Maryland law and ~~in response to the outbreak, the U.S. Health~~which owns medical office and ~~Human Services Secretary declared a public health emergency in the United States~~life science properties, senior living communities and ~~many states and municipalities declared public health emergencies. The virus that causes COVID-19 has continued to spread~~other healthcare related properties throughout the United ~~States~~States. As of September 30, 2021, we owned 392 properties located in 36 states and ~~the world. Various governmental and market responses attempting to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus have negatively impacted, and continue to negatively impact, the global economy,~~Washington, D.C., including ~~the U.S. economy. As a result, most market observers believe the global economy and the U.S. economy are~~one life science property owned in a ~~recession. States~~joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest. At September 30, 2021, the gross book value of our real estate assets at cost plus certain acquisition costs, before depreciation and ~~municipalities across the United States have generally allowed most businesses to re-open~~purchase price allocations and have generally eased certain restrictions they had previously implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, often in stages that are phased in over time, although some states and municipalities have imposed or re-imposed certain restrictions in response to increases in COVID-19 infections experienced since then. Recently, economic data have indicated that the U.S. economy has increasingly improved since the lowest periods experienced in March and April 2020, although the U.S. gross domestic product remains below pre-pandemic levels. It is unclear whether the increases in the number of COVID-19 infections will continue or amplify in the United States or elsewhere and, if so, what the impact of that would be on human health and safety, the economy, our manager and tenants or our business.less impairment write downs, was $8.2 billion.

Our business is focused on healthcare related properties, including medical office and life science properties, senior living communities, wellness centers and other medical and healthcare related properties. We believe that the healthcare sector and many of our tenants, managers and operators provide essential services across the United States. Due to restrictions intended to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, certain of our medical office and wellness center tenants, which include physician practices that had discontinued non-essential surgeries and procedures and fitness centers, that had been ordered closed by state executive orders ~~have~~ experienced disruptions to their businesses. Our senior living community operators ~~have~~ also experienced disruptions, including limitations on in-person tours and new admissions, and ~~are experiencing~~experienced challenges in attracting new residents to their communities in addition to experiencing increased expenses due to increased labor costs, including higher health benefits costs, and increased costs and consumption of supplies, including personal protective equipment. There will be lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as states and municipalities have eased and may further ease restrictions. Our tenants and their businesses may become increasingly negatively impacted, which may result in our tenants seeking assistance from us regarding their rent obligations owed to us, their being unable or unwilling to pay us rent, their ceasing to pay us rent and their ceasing to continue as going concerns.

We are closely monitoring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, labor availability and cost pressures from supply chain disruptions and commodity price inflation in our SHOP segment.

With respect to our SHOP segment, we expect that our senior living community ~~operators~~managers will be operating our communities at lower average occupancy with higher operating expenses per resident as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which will likely lead to decreased returns to ~~us as a result of this pandemic. As of October 31, 2020, we have been notified that 1.0% of residents in our senior living communities have active COVID-19 cases.~~us. Our ~~operators~~managers continue to follow federal, state and local health department guidelines and their own infection prevention protocols but we expect to see additional cases of COVID-19 in our senior living communities.

~~We are closely monitoring~~Throughout the ~~impact~~first quarter of 2021, Five Star coordinated multiple COVID-19 vaccination clinics at all senior living communities in our SHOP segment for residents and staff. As previously disclosed, all of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic on~~communities in our SHOP segment have completed vaccination clinics and are accepting new residents. On September 13, 2021, Five Star reported full compliance with its previously announced requirement that all ~~aspects~~ of ~~our business, including:~~

•~~our tenants and their ability to withstand the current economic conditions and continue to pay us rent;~~

•~~our senior living community operators' ability to operate our communities, mitigate and contain the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19~~its team members at our communities ~~and to keep the residents~~managed by Five Star be fully vaccinated.

We also believe that we and our ~~operators' employees at our communities safe and healthy;~~

•~~our operations, liquidity and capital needs and resources;~~

•~~conducting financial modeling and sensitivity analyses;~~

•~~actively communicating with our tenants, our~~managers, operators and impacted tenants have and may continue to benefit from provisions of the CARES Act, signed into law in March 2020 and further supplemented by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, or other ~~key constituents and stakeholders~~federal or state relief programs allowing them to continue or resume business activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $19.0 million in ~~order to help assess market conditions, opportunities, best practices and mitigate risks and potential adverse impacts; and~~

•~~monitoring, with the assistance of counsel~~interest and other ~~specialists, possible government relief funding sources and other programs that may be available~~income in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) related to ~~us, our tenants, or our operators to enable us and them to operate through~~funds received under the ~~current economic conditions and enhance our tenants' ability to pay us rent or our operators' ability to operate our communities.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

CARES Act.

We ~~believe that our current financial position and recent financing activities will enable us to withstand the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath due in part to the following:~~

•On June 2, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% senior notes due 2025. We used the net proceeds from this offering to prepay in full our $250.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on June 12, 2020 and to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility;

•Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares to $0.01 per share, conserving approximately $33.3 million of cash per calendar quarter compared to our prior quarterly distribution rate;

•~~As of November 2, 2020, we had $1.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility; and~~

•~~Our next debt maturity does not occur until our $300.0 million senior unsecured notes mature in December 2021.~~

~~In light of the above actions, resources, expectations and conditions, we~~ believe that we are well positioned to weather the present disruptions facing the real estate industry and, in particular, the real estate healthcare industry, including senior living. ~~However, as a result~~In the first quarter of 2021, following the ~~COVID-19 pandemic, some~~holiday season, the reopening of our tenants have requested relief from their obligations to pay rent due to us. While the number and value of these monthly requests have been declining, we continue to evaluate these requests as they are made on a tenant-by-tenant basis. As of November 2, 2020, we granted requests to 74 of our tenants to defer rent payments totaling $2.2 million with respect to leases that represent, as of September 30, 2020, approximately 5.3% of our annualized rental income. Those 74 of our tenants consist of 73 tenants in our Office Portfolio segment, which accounted for $1.8 million of deferrals, and one triple net senior living tenant. As of September 30, 2020, we recognized an increase in our accounts receivable balance related to these deferred rent payments of $4.5 million. These tenants are obligated to pay, in most cases, the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we collected approximately 99% of our contractual rents due from tenants in our Office Portfolio segment. These deferred amounts did not negatively impact our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, the deferred rents have temporarily reduced our operating cash flows.

~~We do not have any employees~~economies and the personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC pursuant to our business and property management agreements with RMR LLC for our Office Portfolio. RMR LLC has implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and social distancing guidelines at its corporate headquarters and regional offices, as well as business continuity plans to ensure that RMR LLC employees remain safe and able to support us and other companies managed by RMR LLC or its subsidiaries, including providing appropriate information technology such as notebook computers, smart phones, computer applications, information technology security applications and technology support.

With respect to our properties where property management is provided by RMR LLC, all RMR LLC property management and engineering personnel have been trained on COVID-19 precaution procedures. As states and local communities acrosseasing of restrictions, the United States ~~moved to stay at home orders, RMR LLC worked to reduce~~experienced peak numbers of COVID-19 infections. In some cases, certain states and ~~optimize our operating costs at our properties by:~~

•~~reducing non-essential building services and staff; and~~

•~~reducing~~imposed certain other restrictions. It is unclear whether the ~~frequency~~number of ~~trash removal.~~

RMR LLC’s property management teams have also established business continuity plans to ensure operational stability at our properties. RMR LLC regional management offices limit walk-in visitors and maintain maximum office occupancy limits as required by state and local guidelines, including weekly rotations of employees as needed.

~~As stay at home orders were and may be lifted~~COVID-19 infections will further increase or ~~loosened across~~amplify in the United States ~~RMR LLC has implemented additional procedures at our properties based~~or elsewhere and, if so, what the impact of that would be on ~~recommended guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other regulatory agencies. For example:~~

•~~focusing on sanitizing high touch points in common areas and restrooms;~~

•~~shutting down certain building amenities;~~

~~Table of Contents~~

•~~prudently managing the execution or deferment of tenant work orders to limit RMR LLC staff and tenant interactions at our properties;~~

•~~installing signage throughout our properties with social distancing reminders;~~

•changing certain building HVAC systems and equipment, including adjusting outdoor air control programs to increase the amount of outside air delivered to interior spaces and to adjust control sequences to maintain space relative humidity in order to help minimize the concentration of the virus;

•~~flushing domestic water systems to prepare for re-occupancy;~~

•~~performing service calls and preventative maintenance after business hours to limit social interactions;~~

•requiring vendors to follow best practices under COVID-19 pandemic conditions, including providing RMR LLC with documented preventative measures for their employees and requiring staff to wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working at our properties; and

•~~altering cleaning schedules to perform vacuuming at times intended to reduce the potential airborne spread of the virus.~~

RMR LLC has significantly reduced non-essential work travel and its regional leadership personnel have not been allowed to work in the same locations at the same time. RMR LLC also requires its employees who work at our properties to use personal protective equipment and business continuity bonus payments have been provided by RMR LLC to certain essential workers at our properties.

~~With respect to our SHOP segment, Five Star has taken a number of proactive measures to protect the~~human health and safety, ~~of their staff~~the economy, or our managers', operators' and ~~our residents and patients, including:~~

•restricting access to our senior living communities to essential visitors and team members and only reopening communities when it is determined safe to do so in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations and guidelines, and Five Star's internal criteria;

•~~enhancing infectious disease prevention and control policies, procedures and protocols;~~

•~~providing additional and enhanced training to team members at all levels of the organization;~~

•~~working with vendors to provide adequate supplies and personal protective equipment to our senior living communities; and~~

•~~effectively transitioning to virtual sales and marketing activities and thoughtfully proceeding with resident move-ins, when appropriate.~~

We also believe that we, Five Star and our impacted tenants may benefit from provisions of the CARES Act, signed into law in March 2020, or other federal or state relief programs allowing them to continue or resume business activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized other income of $7.3 million related to funds received under the CARES Act.

~~There are extensive uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. These uncertainties include, among others:~~

•~~the duration and severity of the negative economic impact;~~

•~~the strength and sustainability of any economic recovery;~~

•the timing and process for how federal, state and local governments and other market participants may oversee and conduct the return of economic activity when the COVID-19 pandemic abates, such as what continuing restrictions and protective measures may remain in place or be added and what restrictions and protective measures may be lifted or reduced in order to foster a return of increased economic activity in the United States; and

As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to determine what the ultimate ~~impact~~impacts will be on our, our tenants', our managers', our operators' and other stakeholders' businesses, operations, financial results and financial position.

~~RESTRUCTURING OF BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS WITH FIVE STAR~~

~~As of December 31, 2019,~~ Five Star ~~operated 244~~amended our management arrangements. The principal changes to the management arrangements include:

•that Five Star is cooperating with us in transitioning 108 of our senior living communities inwith approximately 7,500 living units to other third party managers without our ~~SHOP segment,~~payment of ~~which 166 communities were leased~~any termination fee to Five ~~Star and 78~~Star;

•that we no longer have the right to sell up to an additional $682 million of senior living communities ~~were~~currently managed by Five Star ~~for~~and terminate Five Star's management of those communities without our ~~account. Pursuant~~payment of a fee to ~~the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with~~ Five Star ~~were terminated and replaced with the New Management Agreements for all~~upon sale;

•that Five Star is continuing to manage 120 of our senior living communities ~~operated by~~with approximately 18,000 living units, and that the skilled nursing units in all of our continuing care retirement communities that Five ~~Star. The Conversion was~~Star is continuing to manage, which then included approximately 1,500 living units, have been closed and are in the process of being evaluated and repositioned;

•that beginning in 2025, we will have the right to terminate up to 10% of the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage, based on total revenues per year for failure to meet 80% of a ~~significant change~~target EBITDA for the applicable period;

•that RMR LLC will oversee any major renovation or repositioning activities at the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage; and

•that the term of our ~~historical arrangements~~management agreements with Five Star ~~and has resulted, and likely will continue to result in future periods, in our realizing significantly different operating results from~~for our senior living communities ~~including increased variability.~~ that Five Star is continuing to manage was extended by two years to December 31, 2036.

Pursuant to these changes, we and Five Star entered into the Master Management Agreement for the senior living communities that Five Star is continuing to manage and interim management agreements for the senior living communities that we and Five Star agreed to transition to new operators. These agreements replaced our prior management and omnibus agreements with Five Star. In addition, Five Star delivered to us a related amended and restated guaranty agreement pursuant to which Five Star is continuing to guarantee the payment and performance of each of its applicable subsidiary's obligations under the applicable management agreements.

As of September 30, ~~2020, Five Star managed 239~~2021, we transitioned 69 of the 108 senior living communities containing 4,755 living units to new third party managers. From September 30, 2021 to November 3, 2021, we completed the transition of 30 senior living communities containing 1,845 living units to new third party managers. As of November 3, 2021, we have entered into agreements to transition eight of the remaining nine senior living communities to be transitioned containing 819 living units to new third party managers. We expect to complete the transition of 107 senior living communities from Five Star by December 31, 2021 and we currently intend to close the remaining senior living community that we and Five Star agreed to transition and are assessing opportunities to redevelop that community. We lease our senior living communities that have been transitioned to new managers to our TRSs. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to retention and other transition costs for these communities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $3.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of these costs to acquisition and certain other transaction related costs in our ~~account.~~condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

~~For further information regarding~~Pursuant to the ~~Restructuring Transaction,~~terms of the ~~Transaction Agreement~~management agreements with the new third party managers, the terms are generally as follows: the new third party managers will receive a management fee equal to 5% to 6% of the gross revenues realized at the applicable senior living communities plus reimbursement for direct costs and expenses related to such communities. These agreements generally also provide for the new third party managers to earn a minimum base fee for a portion of the term of the agreement. Additionally, the new third party managers have the ability to earn incentive fees equal to 15% to 25% of the amount by which EBITDA of the communities exceeds the target EBITDA. The new third party managers can also earn a construction supervision fee ranging between 3% and 5% of construction costs.

Table of Contents

The initial terms of the management agreements with the new third party managers are generally five years, subject to automatic extensions of successive terms of two years each unless earlier terminated or timely notice of nonrenewal is delivered. The management agreements with the new third party managers also generally provide us with the right to terminate the management agreements for communities that do not earn 70% to 80% of the target EBITDA for such communities, after an agreed upon stabilized period.

The following table presents a breakout of communities that Five Star is continuing to manage and communities that we are in the process of transitioning from Five Star to other third party managers (dollars in thousands):

(4)Our medical office and life science property leases include some triple net leases where, in addition to paying fixed rents, the tenants assume the obligation to operate and maintain the properties at their expense, and some net and modified gross leases where we are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the properties and we charge tenants for some or all of the property operating costs. A small percentage of our medical office and life science property leases are full-service leases where we receive fixed rent from our tenants and no reimbursement for our property operating costs.

~~(6)Includes 920 units for communities scheduled for closure and/or sale.~~

~~(7)~~Residents fees and services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 for our SHOP segment is net of a $4,005 reserve for an estimated Medicare refund we expect to pay. Property operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 for our SHOP segment includes $2,167 of estimated penalties, compliance costs and professional fees, net of management fees reimbursable by Five Star, related to the Medicare refund we expect to pay.

~~(9)~~(6)Excludes data for periods prior to our ownership of certain properties, data for properties sold or classified as held for sale, if any, and data for which there was a transfer of operations during the periods presented.

~~(10)~~(7)Operating data for other triple net leased senior living communities leased to third party operators ~~other than Five Star~~ and wellness centers are presented based upon the operating results provided by our tenants for the 12three months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, or the most recent prior period for which tenant operating results are made available to us. We have not independently verified tenant operating data.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we anticipate that leasing activity may remain slow in our Office Portfolio and that we may continue to be prevented from, or impeded in, pursuing or accepting additional residents at our senior living communities due to restrictions intended to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, including restricting nonessential visitors from some of our senior living communities. As a result, we expect to experience further decreases in occupancy at our senior living communities. Further, as noted above, we expect to continue to incur higher operating costs at our senior living communities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These expected declines in occupancy and increases in operating costs at our senior living communities are expected to result in further decreases in income or returns from those properties.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we entered into ~~lease renewals for 135,177 square feet~~new and ~~new~~renewal leases ~~for 66,544 square feet~~ at our medical office and life science ~~properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars and square feet in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following two segments: Office Portfolio and SHOP. We aggregate each of these two reporting segments based on their similar operating and economic characteristics. Our Office Portfolio segment consists of medical office properties leased to medical providers and other medical related businesses, as well as life science properties leased to biotech laboratories and other similar tenants. Our SHOP segment consists of managed senior living communities that provide short term and long term residential living and in some instances care and other services for residents where we pay fees to managers to operate the operator to manage the communities for our account. In addition, prior to January 1, 2020, our SHOP segment included triple net leased senior living communities that provided short term and long term residential living and in some instances care and other services for residents and from which we received rents from Five Star. Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with the New Management Agreements for all of our senior living communities operated by Five Star. Prior periods have been recast to reflect these reportable segments for all periods presented.communities.

We also report “non-segment” operations, which consists of triple net leased senior living communities that are leased to operators ~~other than Five Star~~ from which we receive rents, and wellness centers, which we do not consider to be sufficiently material to constitute a separate reporting segment, and any other income or expenses that are not attributable to a specific reporting segment.

The following table summarizes the results of operations of each of our segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019:~~2020:

Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to our disposition of 11 properties since July 1, 2020 and assets being taken out of service and/or undergoing redevelopment, partially offset by an increase in rental income at our comparable properties. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to higher average rents achieved from our new and renewal leasing activity and increased parking revenue at certain of our comparable properties as states and municipalities have eased restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and tenants' employees have increasingly returned to the office and commercial activity has increased, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and tax escalation income at certain of our comparable properties.

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, management fees, salaries and benefit costs of property level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, cleaning expense and other direct costs of operating these properties. The decrease in property operating expenses is primarily due to our disposition of 11 properties since July 1, 2020 and a decrease in property operating expenses at our comparable properties. Property operating expenses at our comparable properties decreased primarily due to certain repairs that occurred in the 2020 period and decreases in other direct costs at certain of our comparable properties.

Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income and property operating expenses described above.

Residents fees and services. Residents fees and services are the revenues earned at our managed senior living communities. We recognize these revenues as services are provided and related fees are accrued. Residents fees and services decreased primarily due to our disposition of six properties since July 1, 2020 and decreases in occupancy primarily due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at both comparable and non-comparable properties for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, along with decreases in average monthly rates at certain of our comparable properties. Additionally, residents fees and services at our comparable properties decreased due to the closure of skilled nursing units during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses consist of real estate taxes, utility expenses, insurance, salaries and benefit costs of property level personnel, repairs and maintenance expense, management fees, cleaning expense and other direct costs of operating these communities. Property operating expenses decreased primarily due to our disposition of six properties since

July 1, 2020 and a decrease in property operating expenses at our comparable properties. Property operating expenses at our comparable properties decreased primarily due to decreases in costs associated with staffing and dietary expenses primarily due to reduced occupancy at our comparable properties as a result of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of skilled nursing units during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to the sale of three senior living communities leased to private operators since July 1, 2020, partially offset by an increase in rental income at our comparable properties and increased rents resulting from our purchase of improvements at our comparable properties since July 1, 2020. Rental income increased at our comparable properties primarily due to higher cash rents received from a tenant of six of our wellness centers during the 2021 period, partially offset by lease renewals with tenants of certain of our wellness centers at lower average rental rates. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 many of our wellness centers had been ordered closed by state or local executive orders. We have elected to recognize rental income from a tenant of six of our wellness centers as rent payments are received.

Net operating income. The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income described above.

Consolidated:

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the purchase of capital improvements at certain of our properties since July 1, 2020, partially offset by our disposition of 20 properties, certain

depreciable leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated and certain of our acquired resident agreements becoming fully amortized since July 1, 2020.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense consists of fees paid to RMR LLC under our business management agreement, legal and accounting fees, fees and expenses of our Trustees, equity compensation expense and other costs relating to our status as a publicly traded company. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to an increase in our base business management fees expense as a result of higher consolidated indebtedness during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs incurred in connection with costs related to the transition of certain senior living communities to new third party managers and the Master Management Agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs incurred in connection with the 2020 restructuring of our business arrangements with Five Star, or the 2020 Restructuring Transaction. For information regarding the Master Management Agreement or the 2020 Restructuring Transaction, see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Impairment of assets. For information about our asset impairment charges, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.

Gain (loss) on sale of properties. Gain (loss) on sale of properties is the net result of our sale of certain of our properties during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. For further information regarding gain (loss) on sale of properties, see Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of our Annual Report.

Gains and losses on equity securities, net. Gains and losses on equity securities, net, represent the net unrealized gains and losses to adjust our investment in Five Star to its fair value. For further information regarding our investment in Five Star, see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest and other income. The increase in interest and other income is primarily due to $786 of funds we received from the U.S. government pursuant to the CARES Act during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased primarily due to our issuance in February 2021 of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes due 2031 and an increase in average borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This increase was partially offset by our prepayment in February 2021 of our $200,000 term loan and our redemption in June 2021 of all $300,000 of our 6.75% senior notes due 2021.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.

was of the type that Five Star periodically undertakes to test its compliance with applicable Medicare billing rules. As a result of this discovery, we and Five Star made an initial voluntary disclosure to the OIG pursuant to the OIG’s Provider Self-Disclosure Protocol. Five Star has since completed its review and assessment of these matters and we and Five Star will submit a final supplemental disclosure to the OIG in November 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had accrued a revenue reserve of $4,005 for historical Medicare payments we received that we expect to repay as a result of the inadequate documentation Five Star identified. In addition, we have recorded expenses for additional costs incurred or expected to be incurred, including OIG-imposed penalties, as a result of this matter totaling $2,167 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, of which the entire $2,167 remains accrued and not paid at September 30, 2020.

~~Rental income.~~ Rental income decreased due to the termination of our previously existing master leases with Five Star. Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with the New Management Agreements for all of our senior living communities operated by Five Star. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding the Restructuring Transaction.

Residents fees and services. Residents fees and services ~~are the revenues earned at our managed senior living communities. We recognize these revenues as services are provided and related fees are accrued. Residents fees and services increased~~decreased primarily due to ~~the Restructuring Transaction~~our disposition of nine properties since January 1, 2020 and the resulting change to our management arrangement with Five Star for all of our senior living communities that it operates, our acquisition of one active adult rental property since July 1, 2019 and increased average monthly rates at our comparable properties, partially offset by decreases in occupancy primarily due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at both comparable

and non-comparable properties for the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, ~~compared~~partially offset by increases in average monthly rates at certain of our comparable properties. Additionally, residents fees and services at our comparable properties decreased due to the ~~three~~closure of skilled nursing units during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We expect to experience continued downward pressure on our occupancy and average monthly rates as normal resident move-outs may not be replaced by new resident move-ins and potential residents may increasingly delay or forgo moving into senior living communities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents fees and services for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is net of a $4,005 reserve for an estimated Medicare refund we expect to pay.2021.

Property operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 includes $2,167 of estimated penalties, compliance costs and professional fees, net of management fees reimbursable by Five Star, related to the Medicare refund we expect to pay.2021.

(1)Consists of properties that we have owned and which have been leased to the same operator continuously since ~~July~~January 1, ~~2019;~~2020; excludes properties classified as held for sale, if any.

Rental income. Rental income decreased primarily due to the sale of 11three senior living communities leased to private operators since July 1, 2019 and a decrease in rental income at our comparable properties, partially offset by increased rents resulting from our purchase of improvements at our comparable properties since July 1, 2019. Rental income decreased at our comparable properties primarily due to a tenant default under leases for six of our wellness centers. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our wellness centers had been ordered closed by state or local executive orders. In April 2020, we agreed to defer rent payments for four wellness centers in the second quarter of 2020 in exchange for the tenant agreeing to pay the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments which commenced in September 2020. In October 2020, the lease for these four wellness centers was renewed for a 12-year term. We continue to evaluate our options for our wellness centers operated by tenants in default of their lease obligations.

~~Net operating income.~~ ~~The change in NOI reflects the net changes in rental income described above.~~

~~Consolidated~~:

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of consolidated results for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

~~Depreciation and amortization expense.~~ Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to our disposition of 50 properties, certain depreciable leasing related assets becoming fully depreciated and certain of our acquired resident agreements becoming fully amortized since July 1, 2019, partially offset by our acquisition of an active adult rental property and the purchase of capital improvements at certain of our properties since July 1, 2019.

~~General and administrative expense~~. General and administrative expense consists of fees paid to RMR LLC under our business management agreement, legal and accounting fees, fees and expenses of our Trustees, equity compensation expense and other costs relating to our status as a publicly traded company. General and administrative expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in our

~~business management fees expense as a result of lower trading prices for our common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.~~

~~Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs.~~ ~~Acquisition and certain other transaction related costs primarily represent costs incurred in connection with the Restructuring Transaction.~~

~~Impairment of assets.~~ ~~For further information about our asset impairment charges, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~

~~(Loss) gain on sale of properties.~~ (Loss) gain on sale of properties is the result of our sale of certain of our properties during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For further information regarding (loss) gain on sale of properties, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~Gains on equity securities, net.~~ ~~Gains on equity securities, net, represent the net unrealized gains to adjust our investment in Five Star to its fair value.~~

~~Interest and other income.~~ ~~Interest and other income represents interest earned on investable cash on hand and restricted cash.~~

~~Interest expense.~~ Interest expense increased primarily due to our issuance in June 2020 of $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% senior notes due in 2025. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our redemption in April 2020 of all $200,000 of our 6.75% senior notes due 2020, our prepayment in December 2019 of our $350,000 term loan, a lower interest rate, as compared to our $350,000 term loan, on our new $250,000 term loan we obtained in December 2019, which we subsequently repaid in June 2020, and decreases in LIBOR, resulting in a decrease in interest expense with respect to our floating rate debt.

~~Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax (expense) benefit is the result of operating income we earned in certain jurisdictions where we are subject to state income taxes.~~

~~Equity in earnings of an investee.~~ Equity in earnings of an investee represents our proportionate share of earnings from our investment in AIC. The decrease in equity in earnings of an investee is due to the dissolution of AIC in February 2020.

~~Rental income.~~ ~~Rental income decreased due to the termination of our previously existing master leases with Five Star. Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective~~ January 1, 2020 ~~our previously existing master leases and management and pooling agreements with Five Star were terminated and replaced with the New Management Agreements for all of our senior living~~

communities operated by Five Star. See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding the Restructuring Transaction.

~~Residents fees and services.~~ Residents fees and services are the revenues earned at our managed senior living communities. We recognize these revenues as services are provided and related fees are accrued. Residents fees and services increased primarily due to the Restructuring Transaction and the resulting change to our management arrangement with Five Star for all of our senior living communities that it operates and our acquisition of one active adult rental property since January 1, 2019, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and average monthly rates primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at both comparable and non-comparable properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

~~Property operating expenses.~~ Property operating expenses increased primarily due to the Restructuring Transaction and the resulting change to our management arrangement with Five Star for all of our senior living communities that it operates, our acquisition of one active adult rental property since January 1, 2019 and increased costs associated with staffing and supplies due to the COVID-19 pandemic at both comparable and non-comparable properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to continue experiencing higher operating expenses primarily driven by increased labor costs and increased cost and consumption of supplies, including personal protective equipment.

~~Rental income.~~ Rental income decreased primarily due to the sale of 11 senior living communities leased to private operators, the transfer of one senior living community we own from a triple net leased senior living community to a managed senior living community now included in our SHOP segment since January 1, 2019 and a decrease in rental income at our comparable properties, partially offset by increased rents resulting from our purchase of improvements at our comparable properties since January 1, ~~2019.~~2020. Rental income decreased at our comparable properties primarily due to lease renewals with tenants of certain of our wellness centers at lower average rental rates, partially offset by a tenant default under leases for six of our wellness ~~centers.~~centers during the 2020 period. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 many of our wellness centers had been ordered closed by state or local executive orders. ~~In April 2020, we agreed~~We have elected to ~~defer rent payments for four wellness centers in the second quarter~~recognize rental income from a tenant of 2020 in exchange for the tenant agreeing to pay the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments which commenced in September 2020. In October 2020, the lease for these four wellness centers was renewed for a 12-year term.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

We present certain "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or FFO attributable to common shareholders, normalized funds from operations attributable to common shareholders, or Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, and NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019.~~2020. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders

We calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown below. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of properties, loss on impairment of real estate assets and gains or losses on equity securities, net, if any, including adjustments to reflect our proportionate share of FFO of our equity method investment in Five Star, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, we adjust for the items shown below and include business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as an expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of our core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year.below. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders differently than we do.

Our calculations of FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 and reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders appear in the following table. This table also provides a comparison of distributions to shareholders, FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders and net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per share for these periods.

Property Net Operating Income (NOI)

We calculate NOI as shown below. The calculation of NOI excludes certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. We define NOI as income from our real estate less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as depreciation and amortization. We use NOI to evaluate individual and ~~company wide~~company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of cash to meet operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are the operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties. We believe that these sources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon:

•our ability to receive rents from our tenants, including in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and ~~resulting economic downturn and generally;~~its impact on our tenants' businesses;

•our ability to maintain or increase the occupancy of, and the rental rates at, our properties or reduce the extent of the declines in occupancy and rental rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ~~resulting~~current economic ~~downturn,~~conditions, particularly at our senior living communities;

~~Table of Contents~~

•our ability to control operating expenses and capital expenses at our properties, including increased operating expenses that we may incur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; and

•our ~~manager's ability~~managers' abilities to ~~operate~~manage our managed senior living communities, ~~during~~including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~and generally so as~~ to maintain or increase our returns ~~or, during the COVID-19 pandemic~~ and ~~resulting economic downturn,~~ to reduce the extent of the declines in our returns.

We continue to carefully monitor the developments of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic ~~downturn~~conditions and their impact on our tenants, managers, operators and other stakeholders, including at our senior living communities.

In ~~response to the operating challenges and uncertain economic challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, in June 2020,~~February 2021, we issued ~~$1.0 billion~~$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of ~~our 9.75%~~4.375% senior notes due ~~2025.~~2031. We used ~~the~~ net proceeds from this offering to prepay in full our ~~$250.0~~$200.0 million ~~unsecured~~ term loan ~~that was scheduled~~and used the remaining net proceeds and cash on hand to ~~mature~~redeem all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2021 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of $300.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $10.1 million in June 2021, when these notes became redeemable with no prepayment premium. In addition, on ~~June 12, 2020 and to reduce amounts outstanding~~March 31, 2021, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit ~~facility. Additionally, beginning~~facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the ~~second quarter of 2020,~~COVID-19 pandemic. Although we ~~reduced~~have taken steps to enhance our ~~quarterly cash distribution rate~~ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, a protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may cause further increased pressure on our ~~common shares~~ability to ~~$0.01 per share.~~satisfy financial and other covenants. We may fail to satisfy covenants and conditions under our credit agreement or fail to satisfy our public debt covenants. As ~~of November 2, 2020, we granted requests for certain of our tenants to defer rent payments totaling $2.2 million with respect to leases that represent, as~~ of September 30, ~~2020, approximately 5.3%~~2021, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our ~~annualized rental income. These tenants~~revolving credit facility and our public debt covenants as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our operations. We are ~~obligated~~not allowed to ~~pay, in most cases,~~incur additional debt while this ratio is below 1.5x on a pro forma basis. For additional responses and measures taken relating to the ~~deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we collected approximately 99%~~COVID-19 pandemic, see Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of ~~our contractual rents due from tenants~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our ~~Office Portfolio segment.~~Annual Report and Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we sold 17five properties for an aggregate sales price of $80.6 million, excluding closing costs. In October and November 2020, we sold four properties for an aggregate sales price of $49.0 million, excluding closing costs, and as of November 2, 2020, we had 21 properties under agreements to sell for an aggregate sales price of approximately $167.4$104.5 million, excluding closing costs. The ~~impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic conditions is likely~~measures we have taken to ~~cause many of these property sales~~enhance our ability to ~~be delayed or occur over a protracted period of time or not at all.

Our Operating Liquidity and Resources

We generally receive minimum rents from our tenants monthly or quarterly, we receive residents fees and services revenues, net of expenses, from our managed senior living communities monthly and we receive percentage rents from certain of our senior living community tenants monthly, quarterly or annually.

The ~~decrease~~change in cash (used in) provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the ~~Restructuring Transaction and~~continued impact of the ~~results from~~COVID-19 pandemic on the ~~converted managed communities for the 2020 period being less than our rental income for these~~senior living communities in ~~the 2019 period, as well as~~our SHOP segment, along with reduced NOI as a result of dispositions of properties during ~~2019 and~~ 2020 and ~~resulting changes~~2021. As it relates to our SHOP segment, in September 2021, we paid approximately $22.2 million of payroll taxes reimbursed to Five Star pursuant to our working capital assets and liabilities from the converted managed communities which are now included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets commencing in the 2020 period. Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, effective January 1, 2020, our previously existing master leases and management ~~and pooling~~ agreements with Five Star that were ~~terminated and replaced with~~deferred as allowed under the ~~New Management Agreements for all of our senior living communities operated by Five Star,~~CARES Act as ~~described~~previously disclosed. As noted elsewhere in ~~Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of~~ this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q. The decreases noted above~~10-Q, we expect that the transition of the management of the 107 senior living communities from Five Star to other third party managers will be completed by December 31, 2021 and we currently intend to close the remaining senior living community that we and Five Star agreed to transition and are ~~partially offset by a decrease~~assessing opportunities to redevelop that community. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur costs related to retention and other transition costs for these communities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $3.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of these costs to acquisition and certain other transaction related costs in ~~business management fee expenses in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period, particularly as a result~~our condensed consolidated statements of ~~no business management incentive fee expense having been paid in the 2020 period.~~

price inflation. As of November 1, 2021, we granted requests for certain of our tenants to defer rent payments totaling ~~$2.2~~$1.8 million. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we recognized an increase in our accounts receivable balance related to these deferred rent payments of ~~$4.5~~$0.1 million. These tenants are obligated to pay, in most cases, the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments, ~~beginning in 2020.~~which payments have commenced. For the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we collected approximately 99% of our contractual rents due from tenants in our Office Portfolio segment. While these deferred amounts have not negatively impacted our results of operations, the deferred rents have temporarily reduced our operating cash flows. We are handling requests from our tenants for relief on an individual basis. ~~We also believe that, other than in our SHOP segment, overall tenant retention levels may increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

Our Investing Liquidity and Resources

The ~~increase~~decrease in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the prior ~~year~~ period was primarily due to ~~proceeds from our sale of all of the RMR Inc. class A common stock that we owned in the 2019 period, partially offset by a decrease in real estate improvements and~~ higher proceeds from the sale of real estate properties in the ~~2020~~2021 period compared to the ~~2019~~2020 period, partially offset by an increase in real estate improvements in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we invested ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.1 million, respectively, in revenue producing capital improvements at certain of our triple net leased senior living communities leased to private operators, and, as a result, annual rent payable to us increased ~~by approximately $0.03 million and $0.07 million, respectively,~~ pursuant to the terms of the applicable leases. We used cash on hand ~~and borrowings under our revolving credit facility~~ to fund these purchases. These capital improvement amounts are not included in the table above.

We plan to continue investing ~~essential~~ capital in our senior living communities, including redevelopment projects, to better position these communities in their respective markets in order to increase our returns in future ~~years, but certain projects have been delayed and may continue to be delayed in the future due to COVID-19 related community access restrictions and other state and local ordinances that may limit our~~years. Our ability to ~~proceed with these projects on a timely basis.~~make capital investments is currently limited to $350.0 million per year pursuant to our credit agreement through the Amendment Period.

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we have estimated unspent leasing related obligations at our triple net leased senior living communities and our medical office and life science properties of approximately ~~$18.4 million.~~$64.6 million, of which we expect to spend approximately $45.7 million during the next 12 months. We expect to fund these obligations using operating cash flows we generate as rental income from our leased properties, residents fees and services revenues from our managed communities, cash on hand and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties.

Our redevelopment in San Diego, CA has been substantially completed and we expect to incur additional leasing costs in 2021 to lease the remaining available space. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we entered into five leases

with a weighted (by annualized rental income) average lease term of approximately 11 years at a weighted average rental rate that is approximately 22% higher than the prior rental rate for the same space at this San Diego, CA property. As of November 1, 2021, we have executed new leases for 100% of the leasable square footage at this property. We are currently in the process of redeveloping ~~three~~two properties in our Office Portfolio located in Lexington, MA and Tempe, AZ. Our redevelopments in Lexington, MA and Tempe, AZ ~~San Diego, CA~~are currently expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. We have entered into a new ten year lease for the entire building at the Lexington, MA property at a rental rate that is 46% higher than the prior rental rate for the same space. Additionally, as of November 1, 2021, we have signed a letter of intent for the entire building at our redevelopment undergoing in Tempe, AZ. We are also currently reviewing strategic alternatives at properties in our Office Portfolio located in Silver Springs, MD and ~~Lexington, MA.~~in Decatur, GA, including opportunities to redevelop these properties. These redevelopment projects may require significant capital expenditures and time to complete. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into a new 10-year lease at a rental rate that is approximately 20% higher than the prior rental rate for the same space at one of these buildings located in San Diego, CA. We have continued to progress on ~~these~~our redevelopments during ~~2020.~~2021 and continue to assess opportunities to redevelop other properties in our portfolio.

~~We expect disruptions~~As noted above, our ability to ~~future disposition activity~~make capital investments is currently limited pursuant to our credit agreement through the Amendment Period.

Pursuant to the Restructuring Transaction, on January 1, 2020, Five Star issued 10,268,158 Five Star common shares to us and an aggregate of 16,118,849 Five Star common shares to our shareholders of record as of December 13, 2019. In consideration of these share issuances, we provided Five Star with $75.0 million of additional consideration.

Our Financing Liquidity and Resources

The ~~decrease~~change in cash ~~used in~~provided by (used in) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the prior period was primarily due to increased net borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from our issuance in February 2021 of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes, decreased term loan repayment amounts in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period, and a reduction in distributions paid to our shareholders in the 2021 period, partially offset by increased senior unsecured notes repayment amounts in the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period and net proceeds from our issuance in June 2020 of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% senior notes, decreased repayments of senior unsecured notes in the 2020 period and a reduction in distributions paid to our shareholders in the 2020 period, partially offset by our repayment in June 2020 of our $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan and increased repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period.notes.

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$82.2~~$794.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and ~~$1.0 billion available to borrow~~were fully drawn under our revolving credit facility. We typically use cash balances, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, net proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities, net proceeds from the disposition of assets and the cash flows from our operations to fund our operations, debt repayments, distributions, property acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures and other general business purposes.

In order to fund ~~acquisitions~~investments and to meet cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of rents and our desire or need to make distributions or pay operating or capital expenses, we maintain a ~~$1.0 billion unsecured~~ revolving credit facility. ~~The~~As of September 30, 2021, the maturity date of our revolving credit facility iswas January ~~15, 2022, and, subject~~2022. In October 2021, we exercised our option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year to January 2023. Subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting other conditions, we have ~~the~~an additional option to extend the maturity date of the facility ~~for an additional year.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

by one year to January 2024. Our revolving credit facility generally provides that we can borrow, repay and re-borrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. The facility also includes a feature pursuant to which, following the termination of the Amendment Period, in certain circumstances maximum borrowings under the facility may be increased to up to $2.0 billion. At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our revolving credit facility required interest to be paid on borrowings at the annual rate of ~~2.6%~~2.9%, plus a facility fee of 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under the facility. The interest rate premium and facility fee are each subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. On March 31, 2021, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and November ~~2, 2020,~~1, 2021, we ~~had no outstanding borrowings~~were fully drawn under our revolving credit facility.

In ~~June 2020,~~January 2021, we and our lenders amended our credit and term loan ~~agreements. The amendments modify~~ agreements in order to provide us with certain flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the amendments:

•certain of the financial covenants under ~~these~~our credit and term loan agreements, including covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, have been waived through the Amendment ~~Period, during which, subject~~Period;

September 30, 2021 to secure our obligations, which pledges and/or mortgage liens may be removed or new ones may be added during the Amendment Period ~~prior to June 30, 2021, subject to certain conditions. During the Amendment Period:~~based on outstanding debt amounts, among other things;

•we have the ability to fund $350.0 million of capital expenditures per year and we are restricted in our ability to acquire real property as defined in our credit agreement;

•the interest rate premium over LIBOR under our revolving credit facility and term loan increased by 5030 basis points;

•certain covenants and restrictions on distributions to common shareholders, share repurchases, capital expenditures, acquiring additional properties and incurring additional indebtedness (in each case subject to various exceptions), and the minimum liquidity requirement of $200.0 million will remain in place during the Amendment Period; and

•we ~~will~~are generally be required to apply the net cash proceeds from the disposition of assets, capital markets transactions, and debt financings ~~or COVID-19 government stimulus programs, if allowed,~~ to the repayment of any amounts outstanding ~~loans~~under our revolving credit facility.

In September 2021, we and our lenders further amended our credit agreement. Among other things, the amendment sets forth the mechanics for establishing a replacement benchmark rate under our revolving credit facility ~~if any;~~at such time as LIBOR is no longer available to calculate interest payable on amounts outstanding thereunder.

•we will be subject to certain additional covenants, including additional restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness (with exceptions for borrowings under our revolving credit facility and certain other categories of secured and unsecured indebtedness), and to acquire real property or make other investments (with exceptions for, among other things, certain categories of capital expenditures and costs);

•~~we will be required to maintain unrestricted liquidity (unrestricted cash and undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility) of not less than $200.0 million; and~~

•our ability to pay distributions on our common shares will be limited to paying a cash dividend of $0.01 per common share per quarter and amounts required to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT and to avoid the payment of certain income and excise taxes.

~~When~~Generally, when significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility, or as the maturities of our indebtedness approach, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring additional debt, selling certain properties and issuing new equity securities. In addition, we may also seek to expand our existing joint venture arrangements or to participate in additional joint ventures or other arrangements that may provide us additional sources of financing. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but it does not assure that there will be buyers for such securities. We may also assume debt in connection with our acquisitions of properties or place new debt on properties we own.

We have a $200.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on September 28, 2022. This term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased to up to $400.0 million in certain circumstances. At September 30, 2020, this term loan required interest to be paid at the annual rate of 2.8%. The interest rate premium is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we paid quarterly cash distributions to our shareholders totaling approximately ~~$40.4~~$7.2 million using existing cash ~~balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.~~balances. On October ~~15, 2020,~~14, 2021, we declared a quarterly distribution payable to common shareholders of record on October ~~26, 2020,~~25, 2021 in the amount of $0.01 per share, or approximately $2.4 million. We expect to pay this distribution on or about November ~~19, 2020~~18, 2021 using cash on hand. For further information regarding the distribution we paid during ~~2020,~~2021, see Note 87 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We believe we will have access to various types of financings, including debt or equity offerings, to fund our future acquisitions and to pay our debts and other obligations as they become ~~due.~~due, subject to limitations on debt offerings in agreements governing our debt. Our ability to complete, and the costs associated with, future debt transactions depends primarily upon credit market conditions and our then creditworthiness. We have no control over market conditions. Our credit and debt ratings, which were recently downgraded, depend upon evaluations by credit rating agencies of our business practices and plans, including our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. Similarly, our ability to raise equity capital in the future will depend primarily upon equity capital market conditions and our ability to conduct our business to maintain and grow our operating cash flows. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital

for investment and financing activities, but we cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully carry out that intention. ~~As noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it~~It is uncertain what the duration and severity of the ~~current~~COVID-19 pandemic and its economic ~~downturn~~impact will be. A protracted negative impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~will be. A protracted economic downturn~~ may have various negative consequences including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, ~~such~~those conditions could also disrupt capital markets and limit our access to financing from public sources, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions.

In February 2020, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by one of our life science properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1.6 million, a maturity date in March 2026 and an annual interest rate of 6.25%. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

~~In March 2020, our issuer credit rating was downgraded from BB+ to BB~~by S&P Global, or S&P, following our fourth quarter 2019 earnings release and the beginning of the awareness of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Our unsecured debt rating was downgraded below BBB- by S&P and, as a result, the interest rate premiums under our revolving credit facility and then existing term loans increased effective April 1, 2020.

In April 2020, we redeemed all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2020 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of $200.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $6.75 million. We funded this redemption with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In May 2020, Moody's Investors Service, or Moody's, downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating from Ba1 to Ba2. However, Moody's assigned a Ba1 rating to our recently issued 9.75% senior notes due 2025.

Also in May 2020, we prepaid a mortgage note secured by one of our medical office properties with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1.2 million, a maturity date in January 2022 and an annual interest rate of 7.49%. We prepaid this mortgage using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

~~In June 2020,~~2021, we issued ~~$1.0 billion~~$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our ~~9.75%~~4.375% senior notes due ~~2025~~2031 in an underwritten public offering. These notes are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries, except for certain excluded ~~subsidiaries.~~subsidiaries, including pledged subsidiaries under our credit agreement. We used the net proceeds from this offering to prepay in full our ~~$250.0~~$200.0 million ~~unsecured~~ term loan ~~that~~which was scheduled to mature in September 2022. In June 2021, we used the remaining net proceeds from this offering and cash on ~~June 12, 2020~~hand to redeem all of our outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2021 for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of $300.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $10.1 million, when these notes became redeemable with no prepayment premium. Our next significant debt maturity does not occur until $250.0 million of our senior notes mature in May 2024.

In February 2021, Moody's Investors Service downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating from Ba2 to ~~reduce amounts outstanding under~~B1 and our ~~revolving credit facility.~~9.75% senior notes due 2025 rating from Ba1 to Ba3 and assigned a Ba3 rating to our 4.375% senior notes due 2031, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating from BB to BB- and our 9.75% senior notes due 2025 rating from BB+ to BB and assigned a BB rating to our 4.375% senior notes due 2031.

For further information regarding our outstanding debt, see Note 54 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except for the limitations in the amendments to our credit ~~and term loan agreements~~agreement described above, our strategy related to property acquisitions and dispositions is materially unchanged from that disclosed in our Annual Report. Our plans for particular properties and other strategic considerations may cause us to change our acquisition and disposition strategies, and we may do so at any time and without shareholder approval. Further, ~~such~~those plans may ~~continue to~~ be further impacted by the ~~scope and duration of the~~ COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Off Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

As of September 30, 2020, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Debt Covenants

Our principal debt obligations at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 were: (1) ~~$2.7~~outstanding borrowings under our $800.0 million revolving credit facility; (2) $2.9 billion outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; ~~(2) $200.0 million outstanding principal amount under our term loan;~~ and (3) ~~$685.0~~$683.0 million aggregate principal amount of mortgage notes (excluding premiums, discounts and net debt issuance costs) secured by seven properties. For further information regarding our indebtedness, see Note 54 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our senior unsecured notes are governed by our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements. Our credit ~~and term loan agreements~~agreement and our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit ~~and term loan agreements,~~agreement, a change of control of us, as defined, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business and

property manager. Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements and our credit ~~and term loan agreements~~agreement also contain covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts and require us to maintain various financial ratios, and our credit ~~and term loan agreements contain~~agreement contains covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our revolving credit facility and our public debt covenants as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to adversely impact our operations. We are not allowed to incur additional debt while this ratio is below 1.5x on a pro forma basis, and as such, prior to falling below the 1.5x incurrence requirement, we borrowed $800.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The proceeds from this borrowing may be used for general business purposes. As of September 30, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all of the other covenants under our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, our credit ~~and term loan agreements~~agreement and our other debt obligations. Although we have taken steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a protracted negative ~~economic~~ impact on the economy or the industries in which our properties and businesses operate resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may cause increased pressure on our ability to satisfy financial and other covenants. Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. If our operating results and financial condition are significantly negatively impacted by the economic conditions or otherwise, we may fail to satisfy covenants and conditions under our credit agreement or fail to satisfy our public debt covenants. Further, if we believe we would not be able to satisfy our financial or other covenants, we would seek waivers, amendments, or ~~amendments~~in the case of our public debt covenants, draw upon any undrawn amounts if again available from our revolving credit facility prior to any covenant violation, consistent with our previous approach in March 2021, which may lead to increased costs and interest rates, additional restrictive covenants or other lender protections. We can provide no assurance that we would be able to obtain these waivers or amendments or repay the related debt facilities when due, which would lead to an event of default or potential acceleration of amounts due on our outstanding debt.

Neither our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements, nor our credit ~~and term loan agreements,~~agreement, contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our debt ratings. However, under our credit ~~and term loan agreements,~~agreement, our senior unsecured debt ratings are used to determine the fees and interest rates we pay. Accordingly, following our debt ratings downgrades, our interest expense and related costs under our credit ~~and term loan agreements have~~agreement has increased. See "—Our Financing Liquidity and Resources" above for information regarding recent downgrades of our issuer credit rating and senior unsecured debt rating that resulted in a change in the interest rate premiums under our revolving credit facility and term loan.

Our senior unsecured notes indentures and their supplements contain cross default provisions to any other debts of more than $20.0 million ($50.0 million or more in the case of our senior unsecured notes indentures and supplements entered in

Supplemental Guarantor Information

In March 2020, the SEC released Release No. 33-10762, Financial Disclosures About Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant's Securities, or Release 33-10762.

Impact of Government Reimbursement

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, substantially all of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from our tenants' and residents' private resources, and ~~the remainder~~a small amount of our NOI was generated from properties where a majority of the revenues are derived from Medicare and Medicaid payments. Nonetheless, we own, and our tenants, managers and ~~manager~~operators operate, facilities in many states that participate in federal and state healthcare payment programs, including the federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other federal and state healthcare payment programs. Also, some of our medical office and life science property tenants participate in federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs and other government healthcare payment programs.

Under the CARES Act, HHS established a Provider Relief Fund as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have recognized $18,967 as other income with respect to our SHOP segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For more information regarding the government healthcare funding and regulation of our business, please see the section captioned “Business—Government Regulation and Reimbursement” in our Annual Report and the section captioned “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of Government Reimbursement” in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates has not materially changed since December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Other than as described below, we do not currently foresee any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

Although we have no present plans to do so, we may in the future enter into hedge arrangements or derivative contracts from time to time to mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates.

(1)The principal balances and interest rates are the amounts stated in the applicable contracts. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying values and recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time we assumed certain of these debts. This table does not include obligations under finance leases.

(2)The life science property encumbered by these mortgages is owned in a joint venture arrangement in which we own a 55% equity interest. The principal amounts listed in the table for these debts have not been adjusted to reflect the equity interest in the joint venture that we do not own.

No principal repayments are due under our unsecured notes until maturity. Our mortgage notes generally require principal and interest payments through maturity pursuant to amortization schedules. Because these debts require interest to be paid at a

~~Table of Contents~~

fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the term of these debts will not affect our interest obligations. If these debts were refinanced at interest rates which are one percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our annual interest cost would increase or decrease by approximately ~~$33.3~~$35.3 million.

Changes in market interest rates also would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations; increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balances outstanding at September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and discounted cash flows analyses through the respective maturity dates, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point increase in interest rates would change the fair value of those obligations by approximately ~~$35.4~~$29.9 million.

Our senior unsecured notes and certain of our mortgages contain provisions that allow us to make repayments earlier than the stated maturity date. In some cases, we are not allowed to make early repayment prior to a cutoff date and we are generally allowed to make prepayments only at a premium equal to a make whole amount, as defined, which is generally designed to preserve a stated yield to the noteholder. In the past, we have repurchased and retired some of our outstanding ~~debts~~debt and we may do so again in the future. These prepayment rights and our ability to repurchase and retire outstanding debt may afford us opportunities to mitigate the risk of refinancing our debts at maturity at higher rates by refinancing prior to maturity.

Floating Rate Debt

At September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our floating rate debt obligations consisted of $800.0 million outstanding under our ~~$1.0 billion~~revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2021, the maturity date of our revolving credit facility ~~under which~~was January 2022. In October 2021, we ~~had no outstanding borrowings, and~~exercised our ~~$200.0 million term loan. Our~~option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility ~~matures in~~by one year to January ~~2022, and, subject~~2023. Subject to ~~our~~the payment of an extension fee and ~~our~~ meeting other conditions, we have ~~the~~an additional option to extend the ~~stated~~ maturity date of the

Table of Contents

facility by one year to January ~~2023.~~2024. Generally, no principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility prior to maturity, and we can borrow, repay and re-borrow funds available, subject to conditions, at any time without penalty. ~~Our $200.0 million term loan matures in September 2022 and is prepayable without penalty at any time.~~

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility ~~and term loan~~ are in U.S. dollars and interest is required to be paid at the rate of LIBOR plus ~~premiums~~a premium that ~~are~~is subject to adjustment based upon changes to our credit ratings. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk for changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR, and to changes in our credit ratings. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of our revolving credit facility, ~~or our term loan,~~ we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit characteristics. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.

The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of September 30, ~~2020~~2021 (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):

The following table presents the impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense as of September 30, 2020 if we were fully drawn on our revolving credit facility and our term loan remained outstanding (dollars in thousands except per share amounts):

The foregoing ~~tables show~~table shows the impact of an immediate increase in floating interest rates. If interest rates were to increase gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the amount of our borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility or other floating rate debt.

LIBOR Phase Out

LIBOR is currently expected to be phased out ~~in 2021.~~for new contracts by December 31, 2021 and for pre-existing contracts by June 30, 2023. We are required to pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility ~~and term loan~~ at floating rates based on LIBOR. ~~Future~~Interest we may pay on any future debt that we may incur may also require that we pay interest based upon LIBOR. ~~We currently expect that~~In September 2021, we amended our credit agreement to set forth the ~~determination of interest~~mechanics for establishing a replacement benchmark rate under our revolving credit facility ~~and term loan agreements would be revised~~at such time as ~~provided under the agreement or amended as necessary~~LIBOR is no longer available to ~~provide for an~~calculate interest ~~rate that approximates the existing interest rate as calculated in accordance with LIBOR.~~payable on amounts outstanding thereunder.

We ~~do not know~~cannot be sure what standard, if any, will replace LIBOR if it is phased out or transitioned.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our ~~Managing Trustees, our~~ President and Chief ~~Operating~~Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our ~~Managing Trustees, our~~ President and Chief ~~Operating~~Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For example:

•If the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic continues for an extended period or if business activity and the economy fail to sufficiently improve if and when the substantial adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic abate, we may realize sustained losses and liquidity challenges. Further, we may incur increased operating expenses, particularly at our senior living communities, for supplies and personnel to address the current COVID-19 pandemic and we may be prevented from accepting additional residents at certain of our senior living communities if we become restricted from doing so due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, underUnder the current economic conditions for the industries in which our properties and businesses operate, our tenants, managers and operators may not be able to profitably operate their businesses at our properties, our tenants may become unable or unwilling to pay rent owed to us, or the ~~manager~~managers or operators of our senior living communities may be unable to generate our minimum returns for sustained ~~periods.~~periods as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise. Additionally, our ability to borrow under our credit facility is subject to us satisfying financial and other covenants, and if we default under our credit facility or other debt obligations due to the ~~impact~~impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, we may be required to repay our outstanding borrowings and other debt. Further, although we have taken steps to enhance our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, unanticipated events, such as emergencies in addition to, or as an expansion of, the current ~~impact~~impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may require us to expend amounts not currently planned,

Our distribution rate may be set and reset from time to time by our Board of Trustees. Our Board of Trustees will consider many factors when setting or resetting our distribution rate, including our historical and projected net income, Normalized FFO, ~~our then current and expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations, distributions which we may be required to pay~~requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance, our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Trustees in its discretion. Further, our projected cash available for distribution may change and may vary from our expectations. Accordingly, future distributions to our shareholders may be increased or decreased and we cannot be sure as to the rate at which future distributions will be paid,

•Our ability to make future distributions to our shareholders and to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon a number of factors, including our future earnings, the capital costs we incur to lease and operate our properties and our working capital requirements. We may be unable to pay our debt obligations or to maintain our current rate of distributions on our common shares and future distributions may be reduced or eliminated,

In addition, in the case of our capital recycling program, we cannot be sure that we will acquire replacement properties that improve the quality of our portfolio or our ability to increase our distributions to shareholders, and, we may sell properties at prices that are less than expected and less than their carrying values and therefore incur losses,

•Some of our tenants may not renew expiring leases, and we may be unable to obtain new tenants to maintain or increase the historical occupancy rates of, or rents from, our properties,

•Our ability to grow our business and maintain or increase our distributions to shareholders depends in large part upon our ability to buy properties and arrange for their profitable operation or lease them for rents, less their property operating expenses, that exceed our capital costs. We are currently generally prohibited from making acquisitions pursuant to our credit agreement during the Amendment Period. In addition, even after these restrictions expire, we may be unable to identify properties that we want to acquire, ~~and are currently subject to limitations from making acquisitions under the agreements governing our debt,~~ and we may fail to reach agreement with the sellers and complete the purchase of any properties we do want to acquire. In addition, we may not realize the returns we expect on any properties we ~~may~~ acquire, may not provide us with rents or revenues less property operating costs that exceed our capital costs or achieve our expected returns.

This may imply that we will maintain or increase the percentage of our NOI generated from private resources at our senior living communities. However, our residents and patients may become unable to fund our charges with private resources and we may be required or may elect for business reasons to accept or pursue revenues from government sources, which could result in an increased part of our NOI and revenue being generated from government payments and our becoming more dependent on government ~~payments,~~

If the government fails to pay us or our tenants or managers amounts due to us or them because of government defaults, shutdowns, budgetary constraints or otherwise, we and Five Star have made a voluntary disclosure to the OIG of certain inadequate documentation Five Star identified related to Medicare billing and other issues at a senior living community Five Star manages for us, and we have accrued a revenue reserve of $4.0 million for Medicare payments we expect to repay and recognized $2.2 million of estimated related penalties, compliance costs and professional fees, net of management fees reimbursable by Five Star, with respect to this matter. There can be no assurance that the OIG will agree with the amounts of repayments and penalties which we have estimated. Accordingly, the revenue reserve of $4.0 million and the other related penalties, compliance costs and professional fees, net of management fees reimbursable by Five Star, of $2.2 millionthey may be ~~inadequate to resolve these matters, and any increased amounts may be material,~~significantly negatively impacted,

PART II. Other Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

~~Our business faces many risks, a number of which are described under the caption “Risk Factors”~~There have been no material changes to risk factors from those we previously disclosed in our Annual Report. The COVID-19 pandemic may subject us to additional risks that are described below. The risks described in our Annual Report and below may not be the only risks we face. Other risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also materially and adversely impact our business operations or financial results. If any of the events or circumstances described in the risk factors contained in our Annual Report or described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted and the value of an investment in our securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the risks described in our Annual Report and below, and the information contained under the caption “Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q before deciding whether to invest in our securities.

Our business, operations, financial results and liquidity have been materially and adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is not known what the duration of this pandemic will be or what its ultimate adverse impact on us and our business will be, but we expect it will be substantial.

COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and in response to the outbreak, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial adverse impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and has resulted in a global economic recession. These conditions have materially and adversely impacted our and many of our tenants' and our senior living communities' manager's businesses, results of operations and liquidity.

Our senior living communities have experienced increased operating costs. These increased costs result from staffing, including overtime, particularly if a community experiences a reduction in available personnel due to illness or otherwise, the increased need and cost for supplies, including personal protective equipment, adopting enhanced disinfection measures and/or implementing quarantines for residents. In addition, our senior living communities are experiencing downward pressures on occupancy as a result of restrictions on allowing outside persons to enter senior living communities due to social distancing and other containment measures, limitations on prospective residents being able to visit our senior living communities and perceptions that senior living communities are unsafe during a pandemic or other widespread illness. The occupancy at our senior living communities has declined since the start of the pandemic and we expect occupancy to continue to decline as a result of the pandemic and economic downturn, and the costs for operating those senior living communities have increased and we expect they may continue to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, and these declines in occupancy and increases in operating costs may be significant. Those conditions would reduce the returns we realize from our senior living communities and the fees earned by the manager of our senior living communities, and these conditions may result in residents at our senior living communities being unable or unwilling to pay us rent and resident fees. Further, our manager and tenants may be limited in operating our senior living communities if they are unable to obtain the necessary staffing and supplies, such as a result of illness of staff, shortages of supplies due to supply chain or production challenges, or for other reasons. Additionally, downturns or stagnation in the U.S. housing market as a result of an economic downturn could adversely affect the ability, or perceived ability, of seniors to afford the resident fees and services at our senior living communities as prospective residents may use the proceeds from the sale of their homes to cover the cost of such fees.

In addition, economic downturns and recessions in the United States have historically negatively impacted the commercial office real estate market, including increased tenant defaults, decreased occupancies and reduced rental rates. The current economic conditions have had, and we expect that they will continue to have, similar negative impacts on our Office Portfolio and we expect that the extent of those negative consequences will depend to a large extent on the duration and depth of the economic recession in the United States and the strength and sustainability of any economic recovery that may follow.

~~We cannot predict the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or the severity and duration of its economic impact, but we expect it will be substantial.~~

Further, the extent and strength of any economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic ends or otherwise are uncertain and subject to various factors and conditions. Our business, operations and financial position may continue to be negatively impacted after the COVID-19 pandemic ends and may remain at depressed levels compared to prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and those conditions may continue for an extended period.

~~Table of Contents~~

We have taken several actions in an attempt to address the operating and financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, and we continue to assess and explore other actions, but those actions and plans may not be sufficient to avoid continued and potentially increased substantial harm to our business, operations and financial condition.

~~We have taken several actions in an attempt to address the operating and financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, including:~~

•~~we reduced our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares to $0.01 per share payable;~~

•~~we amended certain financial covenants under our credit and term loan agreements through June 30, 2021 in order to provide us with additional flexibility;~~

•~~we have been in regular, frequent contact with our senior living communities' manager to adopt measures to minimize losses, preserve liquidity and maintain operations; and~~

•we have communicated with many of our medical office, life science and other tenants regarding their operation of or at our properties in the current challenging economic conditions, and we have agreed to provide deferrals of approximately $2.2 million of rent owed to us that are generally required to be repaid in installments beginning later this year.

~~There can be no assurance that these actions or others that we may take will be successful or that they will enable us to maintain sufficient liquidity and withstand the current economic challenges.~~

We recently reduced our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares to $0.01 per share; future distributions may remain at this level for an indefinite period or be eliminated and the form of payment could change.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our quarterly cash distributions on our common shares to $0.01 per share. We currently intend to continue to make quarterly distributions to our shareholders at this rate for at least the Amendment Period, subject to applicable REIT tax requirements. However:

•our ability to make or sustain the rate of distributions may continue to be adversely affected by the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath on our business, results of operations and liquidity;

•our making of distributions is subject to restrictions contained in our credit and term loan agreements, including being limited to amounts required to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT and $0.01 per common share per quarter during the Amendment Period, and may be subject to restrictions in future debt obligations we may incur; during the continuance of any event of default under our credit and term loan agreements, we may be limited or in some cases prohibited from making distributions to our shareholders; and

•the timing and amount of any distributions will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on various factors that our Board of Trustees deems relevant, including our historical and projected net income, Normalized FFO, our then current and expected needs and availability of cash to pay our obligations, distributions which we may be required to pay to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Trustees in its discretion.

~~For these reasons, among others, our distribution rate may not increase for an indefinite period and could be eliminated.~~

In order to preserve liquidity, we may elect to pay distributions to our shareholders, in part, in a form other than cash, such as issuing additional common shares of ours to our shareholders, as permitted by the applicable tax rules.

~~Our investment activities, other than capital expenditures at our existing properties, have been significantly curtailed and we expect that to continue for an indefinite period.~~

We are not actively pursuing acquisitions at this time. In addition, we have reduced our expectations for capital spending significantly. In addition, our credit and term loan agreements limit our ability to make acquisitions. As a result, we will be limited in pursuing investments, which may limit our ability to grow and to act upon opportunities we believe would benefit us.

~~Table of Contents~~

Further, to the extent we defer capital expenditures, we may be required to make increased capital expenditures in later periods as a result and some of the expenditures may be greater in scope and amount than they may have been if made sooner.

~~We expect that the sale of assets that we previously announced an intention to sell will be delayed and could be changed or abandoned.~~

We expect that the sales of some of our assets that we had previously identified for sale will be delayed until 2021 as a result of current market conditions. However, any sales of these assets may be delayed beyond our current expectations, they may not occur or, if they do occur, they may be sold at prices less than previously expected and we may realize losses from those assets. Our ability to sell these assets, and the prices we receive upon a sale, may continue to be affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may be unable to execute our strategy.

Some of our tenants have requested relief from their obligations to pay rent due to us as a result of market disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect to receive additional similar requests in the future; we have provided certain limited relief in response to these requests and may determine to grant additional relief in the future if we determine it prudent or appropriate to do so.

The current economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our tenants' businesses, operations and liquidity. As a result of market disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our tenants have requested relief from their obligations to pay rent due to us. As of November 2, 2020, we granted requests for certain of our tenants to defer rent payments totaling $2.2 million. These tenants are obligated to pay, in most cases, the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in 2020. We expect to receive additional similar requests in the future, and we may determine to grant additional relief in the future, which may vary from the type of relief we have granted to date, and could include more substantial relief, if we determine it prudent or appropriate to do so. If conditions do not sufficiently and sustainably improve for these tenants, they may be unable to pay deferred or future rent owed to us when due or otherwise. In addition, if our tenants and senior living communities' manager are unable to continue as going concerns as a result of the current economic conditions or otherwise, we will experience a reduction in rents and returns received and we may be unable to find suitable replacement tenants and managers for an extended period or at all and the terms of our agreements with those replacement tenants and managers may not be as favorable to us as the terms of our agreements with our existing tenants and manager.

~~We may need waivers or amendments from our lenders in order to avoid defaulting under our revolving credit facility.~~

We may need to obtain waivers or amendments from our lenders under our revolving credit facility in the future in order to avoid failing to satisfy certain financial covenants under our credit and term loan agreements, but our lenders are not required to grant any such waivers and may determine not to do so. If we fail to receive any required waiver, we may default under our credit and term loan agreements and the lenders could terminate the credit facility and require us to pay our then outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. Any future waiver we may obtain may impose restrictions, which may limit our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders, make investments that we believe we should make and could reduce our ability to pursue business opportunities, grow our business and improve our operating results.

~~We do not expect to reduce our debt leverage in accordance with the timing contemplated by our previous plans and our debt leverage may remain at or above current levels for an indefinite period.~~

We previously announced an intention to reduce our debt leverage from proceeds from the planned sales of certain of our assets. As noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we expect that the sale of some of these assets will be delayed, they may not occur and, if they do occur, they may be sold at prices less than previously expected. We expect the delay in these sales will also delay our ability to reduce our debt leverage. Further, if we realize a lower amount of proceeds from any asset sales than we previously expected, any corresponding reduction in our debt leverage would be similarly reduced. In addition, we may elect to incur additional debt in order to try to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to manage through the current economic conditions and any extended economic downturn or recession that may result.

~~The COVID-19 pandemic may have significant impacts on workplace practices and those changes could be detrimental to our business.~~

Temporary closures of businesses and stay in place orders and the resulting remote working arrangements for nonessential personnel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in long-term changed work practices that could negatively impact us and our business. For example, the increased adoption of and familiarity with remote work practices could result in decreased demand for office space, which could materially adversely impact our Office Portfolio and the values of our office properties. In addition, certain of our tenants' businesses depend on people gathering in close proximity, including fitness

~~Table of Contents~~

centers, among others. To the extent that social distancing practices that have been adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic become sustained practices, those tenants' businesses may be materially adversely impacted, which will reduce their ability to pay us rent, increase the likelihood they will default in paying us rent and likely reduce the value of those properties.

The high levels of infected COVID-19 patients and deaths at senior living communities and resulting negative publicity may have a long term significant detrimental impact on the senior living industry, including us, even if our senior living communities do not experience similar levels of COVID-19 infections and deaths as others in the industry.

COVID-19 has proven to be particularly harmful to seniors and persons with other pre-existing health conditions. If the senior living industry continues to experience high levels of residents infected with COVID-19 and related deaths, and news accounts emphasize these experiences, seniors may increasingly delay or forgo moving into senior living communities or using other services provided by senior living operators. These trends could be realized across the senior living industry and not discriminate among owners and operators that have higher or lower levels of residents experiencing COVID-19 infections and related deaths. As a result, our operating results from our senior living communities, and the values of those communities, may experience a long term significant detrimental impact.
