| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On January 14, 2026, we announced that we incurred an incentive management fee of $17.9 million for the 2025 calendar year under our Second Amended and Restated Business Management Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2015, with The RMR Group LLC, as amended to date, or the Business Management Agreement. The incentive management fee is payable by us in cash by January 30, 2026, and we will recognize this expense in our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Business Management Agreement, the incentive management fee was measured based on our total shareholder return exceeding the total shareholder return of the MSCI U.S. REIT/Health Care REIT Index for the three year measurement period ended December 31, 2025. For additional information regarding the calculation of the incentive management fee, see the full text of the Business Management Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on June 8, 2015, and the First Amendment thereto, effective as of August 1, 2021, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On January 9, 2026, we received a cash dividend of $27.2 million from AlerisLife Inc., or AlerisLife, in connection with AlerisLife’s sale of all its assets and wind-down of its business. We expect to receive an additional cash dividend of approximately $3.0 million to $7.0 million at the completion of the wind-down of AlerisLife’s business.
