(b) Special distribution.
The regular monthly distributions declared today have been declared pursuant to each Fund's level rate dividend policy. Because each Fund has substantial investments in real estate investment trusts which generally will classify distributions to each Fund subsequent to the end of a calendar year as ordinary income, net capital gain or return of capital, it is expected that some portion of the distributions declared by each Fund will be similarly characterized for tax purposes subsequent to year end.
RMR, RHR, RFR, RDR, RAP and RAF are closed end investment companies advised by RMR Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of Reit Management & Research LLC. Reit Management & Research LLC and its affiliates have been in business since 1986.
