TRMT is managed by Tremont Realty Advisors LLC, a registered investment adviser subsidiary of The RMR Group LLC, the operating subsidiary of The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR). RMR is an alternative asset management company that was founded in 1986 to manage real estate companies and related businesses. RMR primarily provides management services to four publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts, or REITs, and three real estate related operating businesses. In addition to managing TRMT, RMR manages Service Properties Trust, a REIT that owns a diverse portfolio of hotels and net lease service and necessity-based retail properties, Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, a REIT that owns industrial and logistics properties, Office Properties Income Trust, a REIT that owns buildings primarily leased to single tenants and those with high credit quality characteristics such as government entities, and Diversified Healthcare Trust, a REIT that owns high-quality, private-pay healthcare properties like medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and wellness centers. RMR also provides management services to Five Star Senior Living Inc., a publicly traded operator of senior living communities, Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, a privately owned operator and franchisor of hotels and cruise ships, and TravelCenters of America Inc., a publicly traded operator and franchisor of travel centers along the U.S. Interstate Highway System and restaurants. RMR also owns RMR Advisors LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary and SEC registered investment adviser. RMR Advisors LLC is investment adviser to RMR Mortgage Trust (Nasdaq: RMRM), which is in the process of converting from a registered investment company to a publicly traded mortgage REIT and focuses on originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage whole loans, secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate. As of June 30, 2020, RMR had $32.0 billion of real estate assets under management and the combined RMR managed companies had approximately $12 billion of annual revenues, over 2,100 properties and nearly 45,000 employees. We believe that being managed by RMR is a competitive advantage for TRMT because of RMR’s depth of management and experience in the real estate industry. We also believe RMR provides management services to us at costs that are lower than we would have to pay for similar quality services if we were self-managed.
