Proper corporate governance is important to Office Properties Income Trust. A majority of our Board of Trustees is independent, and all of our Board’s Committees, including our Audit Committee, is comprised solely of Independent Trustees.
Office Properties Income Trust has a eight member Board of Trustees, of which six are Independent Trustees. There are three standing Committees of the Board: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board has also adopted Governance Guidelines and Committee Charters for each of these Committees.
The Board’s Audit Committee currently has a qualified Audit Committee "financial expert" as defined by SEC rules. We also have a Director of Internal Audit who reports directly to the Board’s Audit Committee.
All of the company’s Trustees, officers and personnel are subject to a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
We also have a Governance Hotline that allows users to report concerns or complaints about accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and any violation or possible violation of the Trust's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
