Office Properties Income Trust Announces Amendments to Private Exchange Offers Relating to Existing Unsecured Senior Notes

Office Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: OPI) (“OPI”) today announced certain amendments to its previously announced private exchange offers (as amended, the “Amended Exchange Offers”) to exchange its outstanding senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Existing 2025 Notes”), 2026 (the “Existing 2026 Notes”), 2027 (the “Existing 2027 Notes”) and 2031 (the “Existing 2031 Notes”, and together with the Existing 2025 Notes, Existing 2026 Notes and the Existing 2027 Notes, the “Existing Notes”) for new 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “New Notes”) and related guarantees pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Offering Memorandum, dated as of May 1, 2024 (the “Offering Memorandum”).

Amended Exchange Consideration

Under the terms of the Amended Exchange Offers, holders exchanging their Existing Notes will be entitled to receive the revised amounts of New Notes set forth in the table below (the “Amended Exchange Consideration”), subject to pro rata reduction as described below. The Amended Exchange Consideration is the same as the early exchange consideration offered to holders who previously tendered prior to the May 14, 2024 early delivery time.

Amended Acceptance Priority Levels; New Priority Amounts for Each Series

The Acceptance Priority Levels for Existing Notes are also being modified as part of the Amended Exchange Offers. Each series of Existing Notes will take priority up to the Priority Amount of New Notes to be issued in exchange therefor as set forth in the Updated Consideration Table below.

If the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes of any series that participates in the exchange would, if fully accepted, result in the issuance of New Notes in excess of the Priority Amount for such series, then the amount of Existing Notes of such series participating in the exchange will be reduced on a pro rata basis. However, to the extent that New Notes issued in respect of any series of Existing Notes would be less than the Priority Amount for such series (the difference between the Priority Amount for such series and the New Notes issued in respect of such series, an “Undersubscribed New Notes Amount”), the Undersubscribed New Notes Amount will be allocated to holders of other series of Existing Notes, if any, that exceeded the applicable Priority Amount for such series in accordance with the assigned Acceptance Priority Levels shown in the Updated Consideration Table below, with 1 being the highest and 4 being the lowest, subject to pro rata reduction.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued in connection with the Amended Exchange Offers remains $610 million.
