RMR Real Estate Income Fund
File No.   811-22260
Sub-Item No. 77M: Merger
       On February 17, 2017, the Board of Trustees of RMR
Real Estate Income Fund (the "DE Fund") approved an
Agreement and Plan of Redomestication (the "Agreement")
that provided for the DE Fund to merge with and into a newly
formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the DE Fund organized
as a Maryland statutory trust (the "Fund"), which subsidiary
would be the surviving entity in the merger (the
"Redomestication").
       On April 13, 2017, at the annual meeting of
shareholders of the common shares and preferred shares of
beneficial interest of the DE Fund, the shareholders approved
the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, on April 18, 2017,
each common share of beneficial interest of the DE Fund
converted into a common share of beneficial interest of the
Fund, and each preferred share of beneficial interest of each of
the five series of the preferred shares of the DE Fund
(together, the "DE Preferred Shares") converted into a
corresponding preferred share of beneficial interest of the
Fund with substantively identically terms, including equal
aggregate liquidation preferences (together, the "MD Preferred
Shares"). The Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the DE
Fund, and the DE Fund ceased to exist. Common shares of the
Fund owned immediately after the Redomestication had an
aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value
of the DE Fund's common shares held immediately before the
Redomestication. The Fund, the DE Fund and shareholders of
the DE Fund should not recognize any capital gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a direct result of the
Redomestication.
       The purpose and effect of the Redomestication was to
redomesticate the DE Fund from a Delaware statutory trust to
a Maryland statutory trust. In connection with the
Redomestication the Fund adopted the DE Fund's registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and succeeded to
the DE Fund's registration under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REDOMESTICATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REDOMESTICATION
("Agreement") is adopted as of this 13th day of April, 2017 by
and between RMR Real Estate Income Fund, a Delaware
statutory trust and a registered closed-end investment

of the Merging Fund (the "Surviving Fund"). The Merging
Fund and the Surviving Fund are together referred to herein as
the "Funds."
              WHEREAS, each of the Merging Fund and
the Surviving Fund is a closed-end, registered investment
company of the management type; and
              WHEREAS, it is intended that (i) the

the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), (ii) this Agreement will be, and is hereby
adopted as, a "plan of reorganization" with respect to the
Redomestication within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code, and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and
1.368-3(a), and (iii) the parties to this Agreement will each be
a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(b) of the Code; and
              WHEREAS, the merger will consist of the
merger of the Merging Fund into the Surviving Fund, pursuant
to the provisions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the
"DSTA") and the Maryland Statutory Trust Act (the "MSTA"),
and will have the consequences described in Section 1.1 below
(such transaction, the "Redomestication"); and
              WHEREAS, the Boards of Trustees of the
Surviving Fund and of the Merging Fund have determined that
the Redomestication is in the best interests of the Surviving
Fund and the Merging Fund, respectively, and the interests of
the shareholders of the Merging Fund will not be diluted as a
result of the Redomestication;
              NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter
set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto
covenant and agree as follows:

Act"), and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and, if applicable, the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), except that the Merging Fund will

       3.1.	The Redomestication shall close on April 18,
2017 or such other date as the parties may agree (the "Closing

agreed to by the parties.  In the event that on the Valuation

primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Merging
Fund (each, an "Exchange") shall be closed to trading or
trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the
reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be
disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of
the Merging Fund or the Surviving Fund or the authorized
officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the
value of the net assets of the Surviving Fund or the Merging
Fund, respectively, is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be
postponed until the first business day after the day when
trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have
been restored.
       3.2.	With respect to the Redomestication:
       (a)	The Merging Fund's portfolio
securities, investments or other assets that are
represented by a certificate or other written
instrument shall be transferred and delivered by the
Merging Fund as of the Closing Date, or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter, to the Surviving
Fund's custodian for the account of the Surviving
Fund, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and
in such condition as to constitute good delivery
thereof.
       (b)	No later than the Closing, the
Merging Fund shall provide the Surviving Fund or its
transfer agent with the names, addresses, dividend
reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of
the Merging Fund shareholders as of the Valuation
Date and the information and documentation
maintained by the Merging Fund or its agents relating
to the identification and verification of the Merging
Fund shareholders under the USA PATRIOT Act and
other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules
and regulations and such other information as the
Surviving Fund may reasonably request.  The
Surviving Fund and its transfer agent shall have no
obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or
correctness of any such instruction, information or
documentation, but shall, in each case, assume that
such instruction, information or documentation is
valid, proper, correct and complete.
       (c)	The Surviving Fund shall issue and
deliver to the Merging Fund a confirmation

Closing Date, or provide other evidence satisfactory
to the Merging Fund that such shares have been
credited to the Merging Fund shareholders' accounts
on the books of the Surviving Fund.
       (d)	One Surviving Fund Common
Share of a net asset value per share equal to the net
asset value per share of each Merging Fund Common
Share shall be issued by the Surviving Fund to each
holder of Merging Fund Common Shares in exchange
for each Merging Fund Common Share held by such
holder.  The net asset value per share of such shares
shall be determined as set forth in Section 2 above.
       (e)	One Surviving Fund Preferred
Share of a liquidation preference per share equal to
the liquidation preference per share of each Merging
Fund Preferred Share shall be issued by the Surviving
Fund to each holder of Merging Fund Preferred
Shares in exchange for each Merging Fund Preferred
Share held by such holder.  The terms of the
Surviving Fund Preferred Shares shall be
substantially the same as the terms of the Merging
Fund Preferred Shares.
       (f)	The Surviving Fund shall not issue
certificates representing Surviving Fund Common
Shares in connection with the Redomestication.  Any
certificates representing ownership of Merging Fund
Common Shares that remain outstanding at the
Closing Time shall be deemed to be cancelled by
operation of law and shall no longer evidence
ownership of the Merging Fund or its shares.
4.	CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS
OF THE SURVIVING FUND AND THE
MERGING FUND
       With respect to the Redomestication, if any of the
conditions set forth below have not been satisfied on or before
the Closing Date with respect to the Merging Fund or the
Surviving Fund, the Merging Fund or the Surviving Fund,
respectively, shall, at its option, not be required to
consummate the transactions contemplated for such
Redomestication by this Agreement:
       4.1.	The Agreement shall have been approved by
the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding Merging
Fund Common Shares and Merging Fund Preferred Shares.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the
Merging Fund nor the Surviving Fund may waive the
condition set forth in this Section 4.1; and
       4.2.	The Merging Fund and the Surviving Fund
shall have received on or before the Closing Date an opinion
of Skadden in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Merging Fund and the Surviving Fund, to the effect that the
Redomestication will qualify as a reorganization described in
Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code.  In rendering such opinions,
Skadden may request and rely upon representations contained
in certificates of officers of the Merging Fund, the Surviving
Fund, the Advisor and others, and the officers of the Merging
Fund, the Surviving Fund and the Advisor shall use their best
efforts to make available such truthful certificates.
5.	FEES AND EXPENSES
       The Merging Fund will bear all expenses relating to
the Redomestication.  The Merging Fund will bear these
expenses regardless of whether the Redomestication is
consummated.
6.	TERMINATION
	This Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned (i) by
mutual agreement of the Merging Fund and the Surviving
Fund, (ii) by the Merging Fund if any condition of the
Surviving Fund's obligations set forth in this Agreement has
not been fulfilled or waived by the Merging Fund, or (iii) by
the Surviving Fund if any condition of the Merging Fund's
obligations set forth in this Agreement has not been fulfilled
or waived by the Surviving Fund, notwithstanding approval
thereof by the Merging Fund's shareholders, if circumstances
should develop that, in such parties judgment, make
proceeding with this Agreement inadvisable.
7.	AMENDMENTS
       This Agreement may be amended, modified or
supplemented in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon
in writing by the parties; provided, however, that following the
approval of this Agreement by shareholders of a Merging
Fund and/or the Surviving Fund, no such amendment may
have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the
number of Surviving Fund shares to be paid to the Merging
Fund's shareholders under this Agreement to the detriment of
such Merging Fund shareholders or shall otherwise materially
amend the terms of this agreement without their further
approval.
8.	HEADINGS; GOVERNING LAW;
COUNTERPARTS; ASSIGNMENT;
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
       8.1.	The Article and Section headings contained
in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall
not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this
Agreement.
       8.2.	This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland and applicable federal law, without regard to its
principles of conflicts of laws.
       8.3.	This Agreement shall bind and inure with
respect to the Redomestication to the benefit of the parties to
the Redomestication and their respective successors and
assigns, but no assignment or transfer hereof or of any rights
or obligations hereunder shall be made by any such party
without the written consent of the other parties to such
Redomestication. Nothing herein expressed or implied is
intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any
person, firm or corporation, other than the parties with respect
to such Redomestication and their respective successors and
assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this
Agreement.
       8.4.	This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an
original.
       8.5.	It is expressly agreed that the obligations of
the parties hereunder shall not be binding upon any of their
respective directors or trustees, shareholders, nominees,
officers, agents, or employees personally, but shall bind only
the property of the Merging Fund or the Surviving Fund as
provided in the DE Governing Documents or the MD
Governing Documents, respectively.  The execution and
delivery by such officers shall not be deemed to have been
made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on
any of them personally, but shall bind only the property of
such party.
       8.6.	Any notice, report, statement or demand
required or permitted by any provisions of this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be given by fax or certified mail
addressed to the Merging Fund and the Surviving Fund, each
at Two Newton Place, 255 Washington Street, Suite 300,
