On July 26, 2021, Tremont Mortgage Trust, or we, our or TRMT, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus, as amended and supplemented from time to time, or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, with respect to (i) the special meeting of the shareholders of RMR Mortgage Trust, or RMRM, to be held on September 17, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., at which the shareholders of RMRM will be asked to, among other things, approve the issuance of RMRM common shares of beneficial interest as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 26, 2021, or the Merger Agreement, by and between TRMT and RMRM, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereof, we have agreed to merge with and into RMRM, with RMRM continuing as the surviving entity in the merger, or the Merger, and (ii) the special meeting of our shareholders to be held on September 17, 2021, at 11:00 a.m., at which our shareholders will be asked to, among other things, approve the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to which we are a party.

 

Eight lawsuits have been filed by purported shareholders of TRMT and RMRM in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits were brought by the plaintiffs individually and are captioned (i) Bishins v. Tremont Mortgage Trust, et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05435 (S.D.N.Y., filed June 21, 2021), (ii) Lee v.

The Parthenakis complaint names as defendants RMRM and the RMRM board of trustees.

 

We and RMRM continue to believe that all allegations in the complaints are without merit. However, we and RMRM wish to make certain supplemental disclosures related to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement solely for the purpose of mooting the allegations contained in the complaints and avoiding the expense and burden of litigation. Nothing in the supplemental disclosures set forth below shall be deemed an admission of the materiality under applicable law of any of the supplemental disclosures.

 

Important information concerning the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. TRMT and RMRM commenced mailing the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to their respective shareholders on or about July 26, 2021. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented by, and should be read as part of, and in conjunction with, the information set forth in this supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

 

 

 

SUPPLEMENT TO JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

 

We and RMRM have agreed to make the following amended and supplemental disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. These amended and supplemental disclosures should be read in conjunction with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. Page references in the below disclosures are to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Without admitting in any way that the disclosures below are material, we and RMRM make the following amended and supplemental disclosures:

 

1. The following supplemental disclosure is added at the end of the sixth full paragraph on page 93 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the sub-heading “Background of the Merger and the Other Transactions.”

 

TRMT and RMRM did not enter into any confidentiality agreement with each other, nor did either TRMT or RMRM enter into any with any third parties in relation to the proposed Merger or the Merger Agreement.

 

2. The following supplemental disclosure is added after the second full paragraph on page 100 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the sub-heading “Background of the Merger and the Other Transactions.”

 

At this same meeting of the RMRM special committee, representatives of Skadden and UBS and the RMRM special committee also discussed whether the Merger Agreement should use a collar mechanism to ensure that the Merger consideration would remain within a range that was reasonable and beneficial to the interests of RMRM shareholders. Following the discussion, the RMRM special committee determined that a collar mechanism with respect to the Merger consideration was not necessary in light of the companies’ familiarity with each other and the substantial similarity of their respective businesses.

 

3. The following supplemental disclosure is added at the end of the first full paragraph on page 105 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the sub-heading “Background of the Merger and the Other Transactions.”

 

Neither RMRM nor TRMT have any employees. The personnel and various services RMRM and TRMT require to operate their businesses are provided to them by TRA pursuant to their respective management agreements, which provide for the day to day management of the companies’ operations by TRA, subject to the oversight and direction of the RMRM and TRMT boards of trustees, respectively. None of the TRMT special committee, TRMT board of trustees, RMRM special committee, or RMRM board of trustees discussed the possibility of RMRM’s entering into any employment agreements with any executives of TRMT that would entitle such executives to severance packages should their employment be terminated under certain circumstances. Nor, prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, did any of the TRMT special committee, TRMT board of trustees, RMRM special committee, or RMRM board of trustees discuss the appointment of directors to the surviving entity in the Merger.

 

4. The following supplemental disclosure restates in its entirety the second full paragraph and chart on page 119 of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, under the sub-heading “RMRM Selected Public Companies Analysis.”

Citi calculated implied terminal values for TRMT by applying to TRMT’s calendar year 2025 estimated book value of equity a range of BVPS multiples of 0.90x to 1.10x, selected based on Citi’s professional judgment and taking into account observed implied BVPS multiples of selected companies in the mortgage REIT sector over time. The present values (as of December 31, 2020) of such dividends and terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 22.2% to 30% derived from a weighted average cost of capital calculation. This analysis indicated an approximate implied per share equity value reference range for TRMT of $4.73 to $6.70.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever we use words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. For example:

 

· This supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus states that we and RMRM believe that the allegations contained in the complaints are without merit. Nonetheless, litigation may be distracting to our management and expensive, and this distraction and expense may continue.
     
· As previously announced, the Merger is expected to close on or about September 30, 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions, including the receipt of requisite approvals by TRMT’s and RMRM’s shareholders. We cannot be sure that these conditions will be satisfied or waived. Accordingly, the Merger may not close by September 30, 2021 or at all, or the terms of the Merger may change.
