**Sustainability**

**Overview.** Our business strategy for our life science and medical office portfolio (our "Office Portfolio") incorporates a focus on sustainable approaches to operating these properties in a manner that benefits our shareholders, tenants and the communities in which we are located. We seek to operate those properties in ways that improve the economic performance of their operations, while simultaneously ensuring tenant comfort and safety and managing energy and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

Our strategy for our senior housing operating portfolio ("SHOP") is to work with our SHOP managers, to prioritize the safety and well-being of our residents, while also seeking to maximize the operating efficiencies of our senior living communities.

Our environmental, social and governance initiatives for our Office Portfolio are primarily implemented by our manager, RMR, and for our SHOP, by our operators and focus on a complementary set of objectives, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Responsible Investment:** We seek to invest capital in our properties
that both improves environmental performance and enhances asset value. During the acquisition of properties, RMR assesses, among other
things, environmental sustainability opportunities and physical and policy driven climate related risks as part of the due diligence process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Environmental Stewardship:** We seek to improve the environmental footprint
of our properties, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and water usage, especially when doing so may reduce
operating costs and enhance the properties' competitive position. As a result of these ongoing efforts RMR has helped in generating
the following portfolio-wide achievements for our Office Portfolio:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Certifying
 more than 1.2 million square feet across 14 properties through the Environmental Protection
 Agency's ("EPA") ENERGY STAR® program, representing 28.1% of ENERGY
 STAR certification-eligible square feet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Benchmarking
 2.4 million square feet across 31 properties, using the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Portfolio
 Manager tool;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Certifying
 1.8 million square feet of our properties as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
 ("LEED") certified properties, a certification program by the U.S. Green Building
 Council that recognizes performance in location and planning, sustainable site development,
 water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, waste reduction, indoor environmental
 quality, innovative strategies and attention to priority regional issues. 1.1 million square
 feet are certified to a LEED Gold level; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Earning
 recognition as a Gold-Level 2024 Green Lease Leader by the U.S. Department of Energy's
 Better Buildings Alliance and the Institute for Market Transformation for leasing activities
 that include lease clauses that promote energy efficiency and increased collaboration between
 tenant and landlord aiming to reduce the carbon footprint and operating costs of our properties.

In 2022, RMR announced its "Zero Emissions Promise." For all properties for which RMR directly manages energy, which includes 37 properties in our Office Portfolio, RMR is committing to a goal of net zero by 2050 and a 50% reduction by 2029 from a 2019 baseline as it relates to scope 1 and 2 emissions. RMR's 50% reduction commitments have been validated by the Science-based Targets Initiative. We believe that our properties that fall within RMR's operational carbon neutrality commitments will benefit from these emissions reduction efforts and that achieving net zero emissions will occur through a combination of strategic capital investments in energy efficiency, stakeholder engagement to promote sustainable behavior, deployment of onsite solar and the purchase of energy from renewable sources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Quality of the Resident Experience in our SHOP properties:** Our operators provide comprehensive
 resident enrichment programs and memory care programming designed to provide our residents
 fulfilling lives and positive experiences at our communities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Certifying
 more than 1.9 million square feet of SHOP properties through the EPA ENERGY STAR® program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Investments in Human Capital:** We have no employees of our own. We rely
on our manager, RMR, to hire, train, and develop a workforce that meets the needs of our business, contributes positively to our society
and helps reduce our impact on the natural environment.

**RMR**

RMR employs approximately 860 real estate professionals across the United States. In 2025, RMR was recognized as a 2025 USA Today Top Workplace.

professional development, many of RMR's employees seek out credentials and association memberships, with any membership costs reimbursed
by RMR. Examples of credentials and association memberships include: Building Owners and Managers Association Membership and Event Participation,
Certified Property Manager, Certified Public Accountant, National Association of Industrial and Office Properties, LEED Accredited Professional,
Certified Energy Manager and Fitwel Ambassador.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Board and Management Composition:** Our Board and its committees reflect
an overall balance of professional background, knowledge, experience, perspective, skill and expertise. RMR is an equal opportunity employer
that believes workforce excellence starts at the highest levels of its organization and extends to every employee within the organization.
Members of our Board and RMR's leadership teams are comprised of individuals who exhibit ethics and integrity, have business acumen,
sound judgment and a strong record of achievements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**·** **Inclusive Work Culture:** We believe an inclusive workplace positions
RMR to achieve extraordinary results for our company. RMR seeks to attract and retain top talent through an inclusive work culture with
leadership programs and initiatives like Leading with Impact, the RMR internship programs and other internal investments in broad-based
training and development.

*SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-130a.5: Energy management integration discussion.* 

RMR deploys on our behalf energy management best practices at our Office Portfolio, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Centralized
 utility bill processing and payment system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** ENERGY
 STAR® benchmarking and certifications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Real-time
 energy monitoring;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Daytime
 and nighttime energy audits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Light
 Emitting Diodes lighting upgrades;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Annual
 energy engagement competitions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Energy
 performance training for property operations teams;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Utilize
 green lease language, where possible, to promote mutual commitment to environmentally friendly
 practices and operational efficiencies with our tenants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Energy
 performance review for end-of-life HVAC equipment replacements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**o** Exposure
 to and compliance with Building Performance Standards ("BPS") laws.

As a result of these energy management efforts, we have reduced energy and water usage helping to generate both economic and environmental benefits.

Some cities and states in which we own properties require annual whole-building energy and water use disclosure or achieving certain energy or emissions performance standards. In these jurisdictions, RMR engages with tenants to collect and report any direct tenant-paid energy and water consumption and with operators to request compliance documentation. RMR's programs also aid in complying with BPS by actively seeking out cost effective ways to reduce energy and emissions across properties managed by them and where tenants directly manage energy.

*SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-140a.4: Water management integration discussion.* 

On our behalf, RMR supports water management practices at our Office Portfolio that reduce operating costs as well as our impact on the consumption of natural resources. Water usage is managed by benchmarking water performance to establish a baseline and to measure performance improvements resulting from conservation measures. Water benchmarking is performed through the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager online platform.

Some cities and states in which we own properties require annual whole-building energy and water use disclosure. In these jurisdictions, RMR engages with tenants to collect and report any direct tenant-paid energy and water consumption for our Office Portfolio.

RMR also routinely implements water efficiency and water use reduction projects for our Office Portfolio, which include upgrades to indoor plumbing fixtures, low-flow water closets and urinals, low-flow flush valves, low-flow automatic faucet controls, low-flow faucet aerators and shower heads, water-efficient landscaping, cooling tower water management and leak detection and notification.

*SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-410a.3: Description of approach to measuring, incentivizing, and improving sustainability impacts of tenants.* 

On our behalf, RMR seeks to provide best-in-class Office Portfolio operations and healthy, efficient environments for our tenants and encourage continual engagement that promotes long lasting relationships and sustainable behaviors.

RMR has internal policies that govern environmentally responsible property operations. We also utilize green lease language, where possible, to promote mutual commitment to environmentally friendly practices and operational efficiencies with our tenants. These efforts earned us Green Lease Leader Gold recognition in 2021 through 2025.

RMR prioritizes LEED certification and recertification projects by reviewing a variety of sustainability and leasing criteria such as high ENERGY STAR® scores and access to public transportation and near-by amenities. We believe that taking the initiative to submit for and attain LEED certification adds value to our properties and enhances tenant satisfaction, which reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability.

*SASB Accounting Metric Code: IF-RE-450a.2: Description of climate change risk exposure analysis, degree of systematic portfolio exposure, and strategies for mitigating risks.*

We define climate change resilience as our ability to anticipate, prepare for and recover from adverse physical climate activity such as increased severity of acute weather events and chronic changes to weather patterns as well as identify and plan for climate-related transitional activities such as changes in policy and market-driven expectations.

In preparation for and in response to property-level natural hazards, RMR utilizes dynamic geographic mapping tools which allows them to quickly assess the risk to our Office Portfolio from

the rapidly changing natural hazards related to coastal and river flooding and other potential adverse impacts that may occur from named storms.

In advance of a natural hazard event, RMR directs resources to our Office Portfolio identified as potentially impacted through these mapping tools. The resources made available include access to senior management and mobilization of equipment and personnel. Rapid response personnel may also be directed to properties after a weather event has occurred.

Properties susceptible to inundation from flood waters are evaluated routinely. The evaluation may include implementing tenant and local agency coordination protocols, property incident response plan reviews, insurance provider assessments and the implementation of physical protection elements, such as flood and wind protection barriers.

We routinely utilize technology to evaluate our properties for energy and water performance. Such activities support lower operating expenses, improve comfort for our tenants and reduce our exposure to impacts from policies targeting building energy performance and greenhouse gas emissions.

Our portfolio strategy includes the development of hazard and vulnerability assessments of our existing properties and scenario planning and economic risk reviews of property development opportunities over long term ownership periods. In 2021 RMR, in coordination with a third party consultant, began physical climate scenario analyses for substantially all our properties. In 2024 and early 2025, RMR refreshed these analyses. The climate scenario assessments under evaluation include current physical climate risk exposure and assessments of future physical climate risk exposure models that consider a "business as usual" approach, a 2.0°C emissions mitigation approach in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and a "middle" approach, all based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ("IPCC") fifth Assessment Report ("AR") Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5, 2.6, and 4.5, respectively, mapped to the latest IPCC AR6 Shared Social Economic Pathways ("SSP") SSP1, SSP2 and SSP5, respectively. The following table summarizes physical and transitional climate change risks and opportunities identified for our portfolio.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Risks** | **Opportunities** |
| **·** Over time, chronic or acute climate stressors such as extreme heat, increased precipitation, inland flooding or storm surges could lead to the need for capital investments to meet landlord commitments or improve asset resilience.<br>**·** Increases in regional water stress may lead to water use restrictions and impact our operators' and tenants' ability to provide services to their guests and patrons.<br>· Energy or emissions performance standards require capital investments to meet standards and offset regulatory fines.<br>· Maintaining comfort for vulnerable populations may become more costly for SHOP managers.<br>**·** Maintaining electrical power during climate disasters is critical. | · Energy-efficient, low-carbon footprint and climate change resilient properties may be in high demand, increasing revenue potential.<br>**·** Onsite solar power generation can drive down utility expenses and provide clean energy and covered parking for tenants. Battery energy storage may further reduce operating expenses and contribute to an increase of localized grid reliability.<br>**·** Innovative solutions such as smart buildings, healthy buildings and buildings with sought-after amenities such as and electric vehicle ("EV") charging stations may attract high-quality, investment-grade tenants.<br>**·** Senior living communities provide safe environments during climate-related emergencies. |
