Management Agreement with Tremont Management Agreement with Tremont
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by Tremont Realty Capital LLC, or Tremont, pursuant to a management agreement, which provides for the day to day management of our operations by Tremont, subject to the oversight and direction of our Board of Trustees.
We pay Tremont an annual base management fee payable quarterly (0.375% per quarter) in arrears equal to 1.5% of our “Equity,” as defined under our management agreement. We recognized base management fees of $1,072 and $1,063 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, we also pay Tremont management incentive fees, subject to Tremont earning those fees in accordance with the management agreement. We did not incur any management incentive fees for either of the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
Tremont, and not us, is responsible for the costs of its employees who provide services to us, unless any such payment or reimbursement is specifically approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees, is a shared services cost or relates to awards made under any equity compensation plan adopted by us. We are required to pay or to reimburse Tremont and its affiliates for all other costs and expenses of our operations. Some of these overhead, professional and other services are provided by RMR, pursuant to a shared services agreement between Tremont and RMR. These reimbursements include an allocation of the cost of personnel employed by RMR. These shared services costs are subject to approval by a majority of our Independent Trustees at least annually. We incurred shared services costs of $643 and $634 payable to Tremont for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We include these amounts in reimbursement of shared services expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See our 2022 Annual Report for further information regarding our management agreement with Tremont.
