ST., STE. 300 NEWTON MA 02458 1 0 1 0 Common Shares of Beneficial Interest 2012-03-29 4 J 0 17613 24.03 A 31363 D These shares were issued pursuant to a business management agreement between the Issuer and Reit Management & Research LLC ("RMR") of which Mr. Portnoy is a director and minority beneficial owner. Mr. Portnoy purchased these shares from RMR upon their issuance. Such transfers were exempt from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16a-13 thereunder. In accordance with the business management agreement referred to above, certain historical share price information was used to determine the number of common shares of beneficial interest paid to RMR. The per share price amount listed above is the closing sale price of the issuer's common shares of beneficial interest on the New York Stock Exchange on March 29, 2012, when the shares were issued and purchased. The reporting person may, under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, be deemed to beneficially own shares of the issuer held by CommonWealth REIT ("CWH") and therefore be considered a beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the common shares of beneficial interest of the issuer under Rule 16a-1(a)(1) under the Exchange Act, but disclaims such beneficial ownership of shares held by CWH. /s/ Adam Portnoy 2012-03-29
