This Amendment No. 3 (this "***Amendment***") amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 initially filed by AlerisLife Inc., a Maryland corporation ("***ALR***" or the "***Company***") on February 17, 2023 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "***Schedule 14D-9***").
