Distributions

On November 16, 2017, we paid a quarterly dividend on our Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 Common Shares, in the amount of $0.25 per Class A Common Share and Class B-1 Common Share, or $4,041. This dividend was paid to our shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 23, 2017. This dividend was funded by a distribution from RMR LLC to holders of its membership units in the amount of $0.25 per unit, or $7,791, of which $4,041 was distributed to us based on our then aggregate ownership of 16,164,066 membership units of RMR LLC and $3,750 was distributed to ABP Trust based on its ownership of 15,000,000 membership units of RMR LLC.

On January 19, 2018, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 Common Shares payable to our shareholders of record as of January 29, 2018, in the amount of $0.25 per Class A Common Share and Class B-1 Common Share, or $4,041. This dividend will be funded by a distribution from RMR LLC to holders of its membership units in the amount of $0.25 per unit, or $7,791, of which $4,041 will be distributed to us based on our expected then aggregate ownership of 16,162,338 membership units of RMR LLC and $3,750 will be distributed to ABP Trust based on its ownership of 15,000,000 membership units of RMR LLC. We expect to pay this dividend on or about February 22, 2018.

Repurchases

On January 2, 2018, we withheld and repurchased 1,728 of the Class A Common Shares awarded to one of our former officers in satisfaction of tax withholding and payment obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted common shares. The aggregate value of the withheld and repurchased shares was $103, which will be reflected as a decrease to shareholders' equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in the second fiscal quarter. In connection with the acquisition of 1,728 Class A Common Shares, and as required by the RMR LLC operating agreement, RMR LLC concurrently acquired 1,728 Class A Units from RMR Inc.
