Property Management Agreement with RMR. We entered into a property management agreement with RMR in July 2023 with respect to real estate owned in Yardley, PA. Pursuant to this agreement, RMR provides property management services and we pay management fees equal to 3.0% of gross collected rents. Also under the terms of this property management agreement, we pay RMR additional fees for construction supervision services equal to 5.0% of the cost of such construction. Either we or RMR may terminate this agreement upon 30 days' prior notice. No termination fee would be payable as a result of terminating the agreement. We recognized property management and construction supervision fees of $20 and $21 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to real estate owned.
Purchase of Mortgage Loans. On November 10, 2025 we purchased from RMR two floating rate first mortgage loans that were originated in 2024 and secured by hotel and industrial properties in Revere, MA and Wayne, PA, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $61,733, which represented the outstanding principal balance of the loans at the time of acquisition.
Rights Offering. On October 30, 2025, we announced our intent to commence a transferable rights offering, or the Rights Offering, to issue 7,532,861 new common shares and to raise gross proceeds of approximately $65,200. We and Tremont entered into a backstop agreement, pursuant to which Tremont agreed to exercise its pro rata primary subscription right in full and, upon the completion of the Rights Offering, to purchase 100% of all remaining common shares not otherwise subscribed for pursuant to all other rights holders’ primary subscription rights and over-subscription privileges, subject to the terms and conditions of the backstop agreement, or the Backstop Commitment. Tremont did not receive any fees or other consideration in connection with the Backstop Commitment. Through the exercise of their respective primary subscription rights, Tremont purchased 854,029 common shares, Adam Portnoy purchased 109,669 common shares and ABP Trust purchased 58,266 common shares in the Rights Offering. The Rights Offering resulted in subscriptions for approximately 5,517,113 of our common shares, or approximately 73.2% of the 7,532,861 common shares. Accordingly, pursuant to the Backstop Commitment, Tremont purchased 2,015,748 common shares that remained unsubscribed upon expiration of the Rights Offering.
