Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on September 14, 2018, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, GOV MS REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust, or Merger Sub, and Select Income REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust, or SIR, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereof, SIR has agreed to merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity in the merger, or the Merger. On October 9, 2018, the Company completed the sale of the 24,918,421 common shares of beneficial interest of SIR that the Company then owned for approximately $434.7 million of net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses) in an underwritten public offering, or the Secondary Sale, pursuant to an underwriting agreement described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on October 5, 2018, or the October 5 Form 8-K. The completion of the Secondary Sale was one of the conditions to the completion of the Merger.
In accordance with the Presentation of Financial Statements Topic of The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM, we have reclassifed our equity method investment in SIR as income from discontinued operations for each period presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (including the comparable period of the prior year). Accounting interpretations of the SEC require that we reclassify our previously issued annual financial statements for each of the three years included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our Annual Report, to reflect the discontinued operations, if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings with the SEC. These reclassifications have no effect on our reported net income or net income available for common shareholders.

ALSO, WHENEVER THE COMPANY USES WORDS SUCH AS “BELIEVE”, “EXPECT”, “ANTICIPATE”, “INTEND”, “PLAN”, “ESTIMATE”, “WILL”, “MAY” AND NEGATIVES OR DERIVATIVES OF THESE OR SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS, IT IS MAKING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED UPON THE COMPANY’S PRESENT INTENT, BELIEFS OR EXPECTATIONS, BUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO OCCUR AND MAY NOT OCCUR. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY THE COMPANY’S FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS. FOR EXAMPLE:
| • | THE LIKELIHOOD THAT WE WILL COMPLETE THE PENDING MERGER, |
| • | OUR SALES AND ACQUISITIONS OF PROPERTIES, |
| • | OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE FOR ACQUISITIONS AND TENANCIES EFFECTIVELY, |
| • | THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OUR TENANTS WILL PAY RENT OR BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY CYCLICAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, |
| • | THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OUR TENANTS WILL RENEW OR EXTEND THEIR LEASES AND NOT EXERCISE EARLY TERMINATION OPTIONS PURSUANT TO THEIR LEASES OR THAT WE WILL OBTAIN REPLACEMENT TENANTS, |
| • | THE LIKELIHOOD THAT OUR RENTS WILL INCREASE WHEN WE RENEW OR EXTEND OUR LEASES OR ENTER NEW LEASES, |
| • | OUR ABILITY TO PAY DISTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND TO SUSTAIN THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DISTRIBUTIONS, |
| • | OUR POLICIES AND PLANS REGARDING INVESTMENTS, FINANCINGS AND DISPOSITIONS, |
| • | THE FUTURE AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY, |
| • | OUR EXPECTATION THAT THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO ACQUIRE, AND THAT WE WILL ACQUIRE, ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES IN THE METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON, D.C. MARKET AREA OR ELSEWHERE, INCLUDING PROPERTIES THAT ARE MAJORITY LEASED TO GOVERNMENT TENANTS, GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR TENANTS OR OTHER PRIVATE TENANTS, |
| • | OUR EXPECTATIONS REGARDING DEMAND FOR LEASED SPACE BY GOVERNMENT TENANTS, |

| • | OUR ABILITY TO PAY INTEREST ON AND PRINCIPAL OF OUR DEBT, |
| • | OUR ABILITY TO APPROPRIATELY BALANCE OUR USE OF DEBT AND EQUITY CAPITAL, |
| • | OUR CREDIT RATINGS, |

| • | THE CREDIT QUALITIES OF OUR TENANTS, |
| • | OUR QUALIFICATION FOR TAXATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, OR REIT, AND |
| • | OTHER MATTERS. |
OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN OR IMPLIED BY OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS. FACTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND UPON OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE FOR COMMON SHAREHOLDERS, NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE FOR COMMON SHAREHOLDERS, CONSOLIDATED PROPERTY NET OPERATING INCOME, CASH FLOWS, LIQUIDITY AND PROSPECTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
| • | THE IMPACT OF CONDITIONS AND CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY AND THE CAPITAL MARKETS ON US AND OUR TENANTS, |
| • | COMPETITION WITHIN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY, PARTICULARLY IN THOSE MARKETS IN WHICH OUR PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED AND WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNMENT TENANCIES, |
| • | THE IMPACT OF CHANGES IN THE REAL ESTATE NEEDS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OF GOVERNMENT TENANTS, |
| • | COMPLIANCE WITH, AND CHANGES TO, FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, ACCOUNTING RULES, TAX LAWS AND SIMILAR MATTERS, |
| • | ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING OUR MANAGING TRUSTEES, THE RMR GROUP LLC, OR RMR LLC, RMR INC., SIR, AIC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM, |
| • | LIMITATIONS IMPOSED ON OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO SATISFY COMPLEX RULES IN ORDER FOR US TO QUALIFY FOR TAXATION AS A REIT FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES, AND |
| • | ACTS OF TERRORISM, OUTBREAKS OF SO CALLED PANDEMICS OR OTHER MANMADE OR NATURAL DISASTERS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. |
FOR EXAMPLE:
| • | 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 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, |
| • | OUR ABILITY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE OUR DISTRIBUTIONS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON OUR ABILITY TO BUY PROPERTIES AND LEASE THEM FOR RENTS, LESS THEIR |
PROPERTY OPERATING COSTS, THAT EXCEED OUR CAPITAL COSTS. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROPERTIES THAT WE WANT TO ACQUIRE OR TO NEGOTIATE ACCEPTABLE PURCHASE PRICES, ACQUISITION FINANCING OR LEASE TERMS FOR NEW PROPERTIES,
| • | AS PART OF OUR LONG TERM FINANCING PLANS TO REDUCE OUR LEVERAGE, WE EXPECT TO DISPOSE OF CERTAIN OF OUR PROPERTIES. CURRENTLY, WE ARE MARKETING OR PLAN TO MARKET FOR SALE THREE PROPERTIES. WE CANNOT BE SURE WE WILL SELL ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES OR WHAT THE TERMS OF ANY SALE MAY BE. WE MAY SELL SOME OR ALL OF THESE PROPERTIES AT PRICES THAT ARE LESS THAN OUR CARRYING VALUES AND WE MAY OTHERWISE INCUR LOSSES AS A RESULT OF CONSIDERING AND PURSUING THESE SALES. FURTHER, WE MAY ELECT TO CHANGE WHICH PROPERTIES WE MAY TO SEEK TO SELL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DIFFERENT PROPERTIES AND FEWER OR GREATER NUMBER OF PROPERTIES BEING SOLD OR MARKETED FOR SALE, |
| • | 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, |
| • | SOME GOVERNMENT TENANTS MAY EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS TO VACATE THEIR SPACE BEFORE THE STATED EXPIRATIONS OF THEIR LEASES, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEW TENANTS TO MAINTAIN THE HISTORICAL OCCUPANCY RATES OF, OR RENTS FROM, OUR PROPERTIES, |
| • | RENTS THAT WE CAN CHARGE AT OUR PROPERTIES MAY DECLINE BECAUSE OF CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS OR OTHERWISE, |
| • | CONTINGENCIES IN OUR ACQUISITION AND SALE AGREEMENTS MAY NOT BE SATISFIED AND OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS AND SALES MAY NOT OCCUR, MAY BE DELAYED OR THE TERMS OF SUCH TRANSACTIONS MAY CHANGE, |
| • | WE INTEND TO CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES IN A MANNER THAT WILL AFFORD US REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. HOWEVER, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN THIS REGARD AND WE MAY NOT HAVE REASONABLE ACCESS TO CAPITAL, |
| • | CONTINUED AVAILABILITY OF BORROWINGS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO OUR SATISFYING CERTAIN FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND OTHER CREDIT FACILITY CONDITIONS THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SATISFY, |
| • | ACTUAL COSTS UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY OR OTHER FLOATING RATE DEBT WILL BE HIGHER THAN LIBOR PLUS A PREMIUM BECAUSE OF FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DEBT, |
| • | THE INTEREST RATES PAYABLE UNDER OUR FLOATING RATE DEBT OBLIGATIONS DEPEND UPON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A NEGATIVE CREDIT RATINGS OUTLOOK BY MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, WHICH MAY IMPLY THAT OUR CREDIT RATINGS MAY BE DOWNGRADED. IF OUR CREDIT RATINGS ARE DOWNGRADED, OUR BORROWING COSTS WILL INCREASE, |
| • | OUR ABILITY TO ACCESS DEBT CAPITAL AND THE COST OF OUR DEBT CAPITAL WILL DEPEND IN PART ON OUR CREDIT RATINGS. IF OUR CREDIT RATINGS ARE DOWNGRADED, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS DEBT CAPITAL OR THE DEBT CAPITAL WE CAN ACCESS MAY BE EXPENSIVE, |
| • | WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPAY OUR DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHEN THEY BECOME DUE, |
| • | THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS MAY BE INCREASED TO UP TO $2.5 BILLION ON A COMBINED BASIS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES; HOWEVER, INCREASING THE MAXIMUM BORROWING AVAILABILITY UNDER OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS IS SUBJECT TO OUR OBTAINING ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS FROM LENDERS, WHICH MAY NOT OCCUR, |
| • | WE HAVE THE OPTION TO EXTEND THE MATURITY DATE OF OUR REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY UPON PAYMENT OF A FEE AND MEETING OTHER CONDITIONS; HOWEVER, THE APPLICABLE CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE MET, |
| • | THE BUSINESS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US AND RMR LLC HAVE CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS. HOWEVER, THOSE AGREEMENTS PERMIT EARLY TERMINATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CONTINUING 20 YEAR TERMS, |
| • | WE BELIEVE THAT OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR RELATED PARTIES, INCLUDING RMR LLC, RMR INC., SIR, AIC AND OTHERS AFFILIATED WITH THEM MAY BENEFIT US AND PROVIDE US WITH COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES IN OPERATING AND GROWING OUR BUSINESS. HOWEVER, THE ADVANTAGES WE BELIEVE WE MAY REALIZE FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS MAY NOT MATERIALIZE, |
| • | AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017, WE HAD ESTIMATED UNSPENT LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS OF $31.3 MILLION. OUR UNSPENT LEASING RELATED OBLIGATIONS MAY COST MORE OR LESS AND MAY TAKE LONGER TO COMPLETE THAN WE CURRENTLY EXPECT, AND WE MAY INCUR INCREASED AMOUNTS FOR THESE AND SIMILAR PURPOSES IN THE FUTURE, |
| • | WE, OUR WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY AND SIR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE MERGER AGREEMENT. THE CLOSING OF THE MERGER IS SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE RECEIPT OF REQUISITE APPROVALS BY OUR AND SIR’S SHAREHOLDERS. WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT ANY OR ALL OF SUCH CONDITIONS WILL BE SATISFIED OR WAIVED. ACCORDINGLY, THE MERGER MAY NOT CLOSE WHEN EXPECTED OR AT ALL, OR THE TERMS OF THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT MAY CHANGE, |
| • | THE MERGER REQUIRES APPROVAL OF SIR’S SHAREHOLDERS AND THE ISSUANCE OF OUR COMMON SHARES IN THE MERGER REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS. SUCH APPROVALS WILL BE SOLICITED BY A JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, A PRELIMINARY VERSION OF WHICH WAS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4, AS AMENDED, OR THE FORM S-4, THAT WE FILED WITH THE SEC. THE FORM S-4 MUST BE DECLARED EFFECTIVE BY THE SEC BEFORE THE DEFINITIVE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS CAN BE MAILED TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND SIR’S SHAREHOLDERS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE SEC TO DECLARE THE FORM S-4 EFFECTIVE IS BEYOND OUR AND SIR’S CONTROL. ACCORDINGLY, WE CANNOT BE SURE THAT THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS WILL BE CONSUMMATED WITHIN A SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD OR AT ALL OR THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS WILL NOT CHANGE, AND |
| • | FOLLOWING CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER, THE COMBINED COMPANY IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS ITS INVESTMENTS IN OFFICE PROPERTIES PRIMARILY IN MARKETS THAT IT BELIEVES HAVE STRONG ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS TO SUPPORT GROWTH. THE COMBINED COMPANY IS ALSO EXPECTED TO SEEK INVESTMENTS PRIMARILY IN FIRST GENERATION BUILDINGS WHERE IT BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A REASONABLY HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF RENEWING THE TENANTS IN PLACE AND WHERE IT EXPECTS ONGOING CAPITAL NEEDS TO BE RELATIVELY MODEST WHEN COMPARED TO OLDER BUILDINGS. THE COMBINED COMPANY MAY FAIL TO EXECUTE SUCCESSFULLY ON ITS EXPANDED BUSINESS STRATEGY FOLLOWING CONSUMMATION OF THE MERGER AND THEREFORE OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT REALIZE THE BENEFITS WE EXPECT FROM THE MERGER. |
CURRENTLY UNEXPECTED RESULTS COULD OCCUR DUE TO MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, SUCH AS CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT TENANTS’ NEEDS FOR LEASED SPACE, ACTS OF TERRORISM, NATURAL DISASTERS OR CHANGES IN CAPITAL MARKETS OR THE ECONOMY GENERALLY.
