2024 Proxy Statement

ISG Principle
|
| |
Our Practice
|
|
Principle 1:
Boards are accountable to shareholders.
|
| |
•
All of our Trustees stand for annual election.
•
We adopted a proxy access bylaw.
|
|
Principle 2:
Shareholders should be entitled to voting rights in proportion to their economic interest.
|
| |
•
We do not have a dual class structure; each shareholder gets one vote per share.
|
|
Principle 3:
Boards should be responsive to shareholders and be proactive in order to understand their perspectives.
|
| |
•
In 2023, we had a proactive shareholder outreach and had active engagements with shareholders owning approximately 64% of our Common Shares.
•
Our engagement topics included business strategies, governance reform priorities, sustainability and social strategy, Board composition, leadership and refreshment, succession planning and executive compensation program disclosure.
|
|
Principle 4:
Boards should have a strong, independent leadership structure.
|
| |
•
We have a Lead Independent Trustee with clearly defined duties and robust responsibilities that are disclosed to shareholders.
•
Our Board considers the appropriateness of its leadership structure at least annually.
•
All of our committees are comprised solely of Independent Trustees.

ISG Principle
|
| |
Our Practice
|
|
Principle 5:
Boards should adopt structures and practices that enhance their effectiveness.
|
| |
•
75% of Board members are independent.
•
Our Board is comprised of 25% women and 25% members of underrepresented communities.
•
We have an active Board refreshment plan, including an ongoing engagement with an executive search and consulting firm to identify and evaluate candidates to expand and refresh our Board; three new Independent Trustees have joined our Board since 2020.
•
Our Trustees then in office attended at least 75% of all Board and applicable committee meetings in 2023, and each of our Trustees then in office attended the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.
|
|
Principle 6:
Boards should develop management incentive structures that are aligned with the long term strategy of the company.
|
| |
•
Our Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves incentive compensation program design, goals and objectives for alignment with compensation and business strategies.
•
Although we do not pay any cash compensation directly to our officers and have no employees, we have adopted the Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Share Award Plan”) to reward our named executive officers and other officers and employees of RMR and Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (“Sonesta”) who provide services to us or our taxable real estate investment trust (“REIT”) subsidiary and to align their interests with those of our shareholders.
•
RMR’s compensation is tied to our performance.

Risks
|
| | |
Opportunities
|
|
|
•
Over time, chronic or acute climate stressors such as extreme heat, increased precipitation, inland flooding or storm surges could lead to the need for capital investments to meet landlord commitments or improve asset resilience. These climate stressors may also impact public infrastructure such as roadways and bridges, limiting access to our properties.
•
Increases in regional water stress may lead to water use restrictions and impact our operators’ and tenants’ ability to provide services to their guests and patrons.
•
Energy or emissions performance standards require capital investments to meet standards and offset regulatory fines.
|
| | |
•
Energy-efficient, low-carbon footprint and climate change resilient properties may be in high demand, increasing revenue potential.
•
On-site solar power generation can drive down utility expenses and provide clean energy and covered parking for tenants. Battery energy storage may further reduce operating expenses and contribute to an increase of localized grid reliability.
•
Innovative solutions such as smart buildings, healthy buildings and buildings with sought-after amenities such as alternative fuels and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations may attract high-quality, investment-grade tenants or increase corporate and leisure travel to our hotels.
