Item 5.07.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 20, 2018, we held a special meeting of our shareholders at which our shareholders were asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

1.              Approval of the merger, or the Merger, of us with and into GOV MS REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Government Properties Income Trust, with GOV MS REIT as the surviving entity in the Merger, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 14, 2018, as it may be amended from time to time, or the Merger Agreement, by and among Government Properties Income Trust, GOV MS REIT and us and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to which we are a party (which we refer to as the Merger Proposal); and

2.              Approval of the adjournment of our special meeting of shareholders from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to which we are a party if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve such proposal (which we refer to as the Adjournment Proposal).

Each of the foregoing proposals is described in detail in the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018.

For each of the proposals, a quorum was present.  According to the report of the Inspector of Elections, the Merger Proposal was approved by the requisite vote of the holders of our common shares.  The voting results for the Merger Proposal is as follows:

The results reported above are final voting results.

We did not call the vote on the Adjournment Proposal as there were sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal.
