No Table II lines on this filing.

F1Includes 138.381 shares acquired under the Select Income REIT Dividend Reinvestment Plan since the last Section 16 filing by Mr. Portnoy.
F2Represents the pecuniary interest of Mr. Portnoy in Common Shares owned by Reit Management & Research LLC ("RMR"), of which Reit Management & Research Trust ("RMR Trust") is the sole member. Mr. Portnoy is the Chairman and a director of RMR, and the Chairman, majority beneficial owner and a trustee of RMR Trust.
F3RMR may, under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), be deemed to beneficially own 24,918,421 Common Shares of the Issuer that are owned by Government Properties Income Trust ("GOV"), and therefore due to his relationships with RMR Trust and RMR, Mr. Portnoy may be considered a beneficial owner of a portion of such Common Shares, constituting more than ten percent of the Common Shares of the Issuer under Rule 16a-1(a)(1) under the Exchange Act, but Mr. Portnoy disclaims such beneficial ownership of the Common Shares owned by GOV.
