Business Wire
Initiates Voluntary Chapter 11 Process to Implement Terms of Agreement
Receives Commitment for $125 Million in New Money Financing to Support Operations During Restructuring
RMR will Continue as Manager and Operations will Continue Uninterrupted During Restructuring
Office Properties Income Trust (“OPI” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) with an ad hoc group (the “September 2029 Ad Hoc Group”) of certain holders of its senior secured notes due September 2029 (the “September 2029 Notes”) to restructure its corporate debt and allow the Company to substantially deleverage its balance sheet. The transactions contemplated by the RSA provide the Company with a significantly improved capital structure and reduced debt service obligations, including by the equitization of approximately $1 billion of existing notes, and allow the Company to increase liquidity while maintaining its business operations in the normal course.
To implement the restructuring contemplated by the RSA, OPI and certain of its subsidiaries have filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Throughout this process, The RMR Group (Nasdaq: RMR) will continue to manage the Company and lease and maintain its properties without interruption. The Company will continue to honor its agreements with tenants, brokers and vendors in the ordinary course.
OPI has received a commitment for $125 million in new money, debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing from the September 2029 Ad Hoc Group to be syndicated to other holders of the September 2029 Notes. Upon Bankruptcy Court approval, this additional financing, together with cash generated from the Company's ongoing operations, is expected to support the business during the court-supervised process.
Yael Duffy, President and Chief Operating Officer of OPI, made the following comment:
“Following a thorough review of strategies to address OPI’s funded debt obligations, we are pleased to have reached an agreement with certain noteholders that will meaningfully strengthen OPI’s balance sheet by reducing leverage, lowering debt service obligations and simplifying its capital structure. We remain committed to serving our tenants and working with our brokers and other vendors with the continued support of our manager, The RMR Group. We expect no disruptions to our business or properties during the pendency of the proceedings and expect OPI to emerge as a more stable and financially flexible company, well positioned to advance its strategic initiatives.”
The RSA also contemplates a new management arrangement with RMR for an initial term of five years. Throughout the restructuring process, RMR will continue to manage OPI’s business in the ordinary course and expects no interruption or disruption to OPI’s day-to-day operations.
Additional Information
OPI has filed a number of customary “first day” motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval to operate its business in the normal course during the court-supervised process. The Company expects the Court to approve these first day motions in the coming days.

Playing a game of chicken
On September 30, 2025, we did not make (i) the required interest payment of approximately $27.4 million due on our 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due September 2029, or the September 2029 Notes, and (ii) the required interest payment of approximately $3.4 million due on our 3.250% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027, or the March 2027 Notes. Under the indentures governing the September 2029 Notes and the March 2027 Notes, we have a 30-day grace period to make the required interest payment before non-payment constitutes an “event of default”. We continue to work with our advisors to pursue our restructuring efforts.
