Management Agreement with Tremont Management Agreement with Tremont
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us, pursuant to a management agreement with Tremont which provides for the day to day management of our operations, subject to the oversight and direction of our Board of Trustees.
We pay Tremont an annual base management fee payable quarterly (0.375% per quarter) in arrears equal to 1.5% of our “Equity,” as defined under our management agreement. We include these amounts in base management fees in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, we also pay Tremont management incentive fees, subject to Tremont earning those fees in accordance with the management agreement. We include these amounts in incentive fees in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Tremont, and not us, is responsible for the costs of its employees who provide services to us, unless any such payment or reimbursement is specifically approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees, is a shared services cost or relates to awards made under any equity compensation plan adopted by us. We are required to pay or to reimburse Tremont and its affiliates for all other costs and expenses of our operations. Some of these overhead, professional and other services are provided by RMR, pursuant to a shared services agreement between Tremont and RMR. These reimbursements include an allocation of the cost of personnel employed by RMR. These shared services costs are subject to approval by a majority of our Independent Trustees at least annually. We include these amounts in reimbursement of shared services expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See our 2025 Annual Report for further information regarding our management agreement with Tremont.
