PROSPECTUS
2,612,806 Shares
Health and Retirement Properties Trust
Common Shares of Beneficial Interest
----------------------
This Prospectus relates to the reoffer and resale by certain selling
shareholders described herein (the "Selling Shareholders") of common shares of
beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share ("Common Shares"), of Health and
Retirement Properties Trust (the "Company"). The Company is a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") which invests primarily in healthcare related real
estate and in office buildings leased to various agencies of the United States
government. The Common Shares offered hereby (the "Offered Shares") are being
reoffered and resold for the account of the Selling Shareholders, and the
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from such reoffering and resale.
The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that the resale of
the Offered Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or
otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale or at prices
otherwise negotiated. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by
selling the Offered Shares to or through broker-dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of the Offered Shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of
customary commissions). Any broker-dealer acquiring the Offered Shares from the
Selling Shareholders may sell such securities in its normal market making
activities, through other brokers on a principal or agency basis, in negotiated
transactions, to its customers or through a combination of such methods. See
"Plan of Distribution".
The Company will bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with
the reoffering and resale of the Offered Shares, excluding any fees and
disbursements of underwriters, brokers or dealers, underwriting discounts and
commissions, broker or dealer discounts, concessions or commissions and certain
expenses of the Selling Shareholders. The Company's estimated expenses aggregate
$110,000, and the Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that their
estimated expenses aggregate $5,000.
The Common Shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbol "HRP." On May
6, 1998, the last sale price for the Common Shares on the NYSE was $20.125.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information as of April 29, 1998
with respect to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each Selling
Shareholder prior to the offering and the maximum number of Common Shares being

THE MERGER
The Merger and the Merger Agreement. The Offered Shares were originally
issued by the Company to GPI in a private placement pursuant to an Agreement of
Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement"), between the Company and GPI. The
Merger Agreement provided for the merger (the "Merger") of Government Property
Holdings Trust (together with its subsidiaries, except where the context
otherwise requires, "GPH"), a Maryland real estate investment trust which was a
wholly owned subsidiary of GPI, with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company ("HRP Merger Sub"). As a result of the Merger, all of the outstanding
shares of GPH converted into the right to receive the merger consideration
described below.
Through the Merger and pursuant to provisions of the Merger Agreement
contemplating additional acquisitions by the Company, the Company acquired or
agreed to acquire up to 30 office buildings containing approximately 3.4 million
square feet, substantially all of which is leased to various agencies of the
United States government. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had acquired 29
properties (containing approximately 3.3 million square feet), one of which is
under construction, and elected not to acquire one property. Subsequent to
December 31, 1997, one of the 29 properties was sold.
The consideration to be paid under the Merger Agreement was payable in
two portions, the "First Closing Consideration" and the "Second Closing
Consideration." The First Closing Consideration was payable in approximately 4.2
million Common Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger
Agreement, issuable in part on the date of the Merger and in part on subsequent
closing dates in respect of properties which GPH had a right to acquire or was
developing at the time of the Merger; the assumption by the Company through
subsidiaries of approximately $28 million of debt secured by mortgages on four
acquired properties and by the net cash payment of approximately $335 million to
retire other debt and pay certain obligations of GPI and its subsidiaries
assumed by the Company's subsidiaries at the time of the Merger.
Through March 1, 1998, the Company has issued an aggregate of 4,019,429
Common Shares as part of the First Closing Consideration. The Merger occurred on
March 25, 1997 (the "First Closing Date"), at which time the Company issued to
GPI 3,862,716 Common Shares. GPI transferred a portion of such Common Shares to
GovProp Sub-Debt Partners, L.P. and The 1818 Fund in repayment of certain
indebtedness owed to them by GPI. Subsequent closings occurred in respect of
three properties in respect of which the Company issued to GPI an aggregate of
156,713 Common Shares. Pursuant to the arrangements discussed more fully below
under "The Merger -- Registration Rights Agreement," the Company previously
registered for resale an aggregate of 3,985,028 of such Common Shares, and the
holders thereof have advised the Company that, through March 1, 1998, such
holders had disposed of an aggregate of 1,406,623 Common Shares pursuant to such
registered resale. The remaining 2,612,806 Common Shares issued on the First
Closing Date and such subsequent closing dates constitute the Offered Shares.
In addition to the First Closing Consideration, the Company has agreed
to pay the Second Closing Consideration in an amount equal to the greater of $8
million or 3% of the aggregate cost of certain additional properties acquired by
the Company from GPI as described in the Merger Agreement prior to the first
anniversary of the First Closing Date (the "Second Closing Date") by the
issuance of Common Shares valued at the arithmetic average of the closing sales
prices for the Common Shares as reported by the NYSE for the 20 trading days
immediately prior to the Second Closing Date.
The Second Closing Consideration payable in Common Shares is to be
adjusted (i) if the amounts paid to GPI or its successor pursuant to the Service
Contract (as hereafter defined) (the "Service Contract Payment") are less than
the amounts actually paid by GPI or its successor for office expenses, salaries
and other operating expenses through July 31, 1997, by the addition of an amount
of up to the difference between such amounts, provided that such amount shall
not exceed the difference between $974,935 and the Service Contract Payment;
(ii) if the aggregate amount funded or anticipated to be funded by the Company
subsequent to the consummation of the Merger to complete one of the GPI
properties located in Golden, Colorado (including interest thereon) exceeds
$9,046,823, by the deduction of one-half of such excess; and (iii) if the
aggregate amount funded or anticipated to be funded by the Company subsequent to
the consummation of the Merger to complete one of the GPI properties located in
San
5
<PAGE>
Diego, California (including interest thereon) exceeds $1,063,264, by the
deduction of one-half of such excess. The Company has issued to GPI 251,999
Common Shares in respect of the Second Closing Consideration. Additional Common
Shares may be payable in respect of the Second Closing Consideration, the amount
of which is still being determined.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The description of
the Merger set forth herein describes certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement, but does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified
in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Merger Agreement,
including the definition of certain terms therein.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the agreements described below (the
"Additional Agreements") were also entered into by certain parties to the Merger
Agreement and others. A copy of the form of each Additional Agreement and each
of certain other related agreements is filed as a schedule to the Merger
Agreement. The descriptions of the Additional Agreements describe the material
provisions of each of the Additional Agreements, but do not purport to be
complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to,
all of the provisions of each of the Additional Agreements, including the
definition of certain terms therein.
Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to an investment and
registration rights agreement between the Company and GPI (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement relating to the offer and sale of Common
Shares delivered on the First Closing Date to GPI pursuant to the Merger
Agreement by the holders thereof. The Company has also agreed to amend such
registration statement from time to time to include additional Common Shares
delivered after the First Closing Date to GPI and its successors pursuant to the
Merger Agreement. The Company is required to use its best efforts to have such
registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable
after filing and to maintain the continuous effectiveness of such registration
statement for three years from the First Closing Date or such shorter period as
will terminate when all such Common Shares have been sold. The Company has filed
the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for
suspension periods when the registration statement is not effective and for
block out periods in connection with other offerings of the securities of the
Company, each on customary terms and conditions. The Registration Rights
Agreement also provides certain cross-indemnities between the Company and
sellers of the Common Shares subject to the Registration Rights Agreement. Such
indemnities may be unenforceable, in whole or in part, under federal or state
securities laws or certain public policies.
Indemnification Agreement. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement
between the Company and GPI (the "Indemnification Agreement"), GPI will
indemnify the Company and other related parties for certain losses arising out
of any breach of any warranty or representation made by GPI in the Merger
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Indemnification Agreement;
provided that, any claim for indemnification must be made by December 31, 1997.
The Indemnification Agreement provides that GPI shall be liable only for losses
in excess of $1,500,000 in the aggregate (except for certain losses related to
the property located in College Park, Maryland) and that GPI shall have no
liability for losses in excess of the Second Closing Consideration.
Voting Agreement. At the time of the Merger, the Company and The 1818
Fund and RRLP (the "Principal Stockholders") entered into the voting agreement
(the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which each Principal Stockholder agreed
that it will not, until the occurrence of a Change in Management (as defined in
the Voting Agreement) or until such Principal Stockholder, with its affiliates,
owns less than 25% of the aggregate Common Shares issued pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Trustees of the Company,
(i) transfer any Common Shares held by Principal Stockholder to any person who,
to the Principal Stockholders' knowledge, holds directly, or is an affiliate of
a person who holds, 5% or more of the aggregate Common Shares at the time
outstanding; (ii) make directly or indirectly or participate in an unsolicited
offer to purchase any Common Shares; (iii) vote (or direct to be voted) any
Common Shares or any other shares of equity interest in the Company as to which
either has direct or indirect voting power or control in favor of any
transaction that could result in a Change of Control (as defined in the Voting
Agreement) of the Company; or (iv) present any shareholder proposal dealing with
a Change of Control of the Company.
6
<PAGE>
Information Access Agreement. At the time of the Merger, the Company
and the Principal Stockholders entered into an information access agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed upon request to permit the Principal
Stockholders to inspect the Company's properties, provide certain financial
information, make certain of the Company's officers available for consultation
and inform the Principal Stockholders of significant corporate actions. Each
Principal Stockholder has agreed to hold all such information in confidence.
Such information access agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the
First Closing Date.
Service Contract. At the time of the Merger, GPI and M&P Partners
Limited Partnership ("M&P"), an affiliate of HRPT Advisors, Inc. ("Advisors"),
the Company's investment advisor at the time of the Merger, which is owned by
Advisors and Messrs. Gerard M. Martin and Barry M. Portnoy, the Managing
Trustees of the Company, entered into a service contract (the "Service
Contract"), pursuant to which certain employees of GPI provide administrative
and support services to HRP Merger Sub until July 31, 1997. HRP Merger Sub was
required to reimburse GPI for such employees' compensation and for rent payments
for GPI's office space in Washington, D.C. until July 31, 1997 in an amount not
to exceed $700,000.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Declaration of Trust ("Declaration") authorizes the Company to
issue an aggregate of 175,000,000 shares of beneficial interest in the Company
("Shares"), including (i) 125,000,000 Common Shares, par value $.01 per share,
and (ii) 50,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred
Shares"). The Declaration permits the Company's Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to amend the Declaration to increase or decrease the authorized
shares of beneficial interest of the Company without the requirement of
shareholder approval.
The Declaration authorizes the Trustees, without shareholder approval,
from time to time to divide the Preferred Shares into classes or series and to
set (or change, if the class or series has been previously established) the par
value, if any, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms and
conditions of redemption of such Preferred Shares as are not prohibited by the
Declaration or applicable law. In connection with the adoption of the Company's
shareholders rights plan (see "Redemption; Business Combinations and Control
Share Acquisitions -- Rights Plan," below), the Trustees established an
authorized but unissued class of 1,250,000 Preferred Shares, par value $.01 per
share (the "Junior Participating Preferred Shares"), described more fully below,
and as of April 29, 1998 no other class or series of Preferred Shares had been
established.
As of April 29, 1998 there were 106,521,956 Shares outstanding, all of
which were Common Shares. The Company also had outstanding as of such date
approximately $205.0 million aggregate principal amount convertible subordinated
debentures of various series, all of which are convertible into Common Shares at
an exercise price equal on such date to $18 per share.
The following descriptions do not purport to be complete and are
subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the more complete
descriptions thereof set forth in the Declaration. Capitalized terms not defined
herein are as defined in the Declaration.
Except as otherwise determined by the Trustees with respect to any
class or series of Preferred Shares, all Shares: (i) will participate equally in
dividends payable to shareholders when, as and if declared by the Trustees and
ratably in net assets available for distribution to shareholders on liquidation
or dissolution; (ii) will have one vote per share on all matters submitted to a
vote of the shareholders, (iii) will not have cumulative voting rights in the
election of Trustees; and (iv) will have no preference, conversion, exchange,
sinking fund, redemption rights or preemptive or similar rights.
Upon issuance in accordance with the Declaration and applicable law,
the Offered Shares will be fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of Shares
do not have preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional Shares
or other securities of the Company.
7
<PAGE>
The authorized but unissued Shares will be available for issuance from
time to time by the Company at the sole discretion of its Board of Trustees for
any proper trust purpose, which could include raising capital, providing
compensation or benefits to employees and others, paying stock dividends or
acquiring companies, businesses or properties. The issuance of such unissued
Shares could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value
per share of currently outstanding Shares.
In connection with the adoption of the Company's shareholders rights
plan, the Trustees established an authorized but unissued class of 1,250,000
Junior Participating Preferred Shares. See "Redemption; Business Combinations
and Control Share Acquisitions" below. Certain powers, preferences and rights
and certain qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Junior
Participating Preferred Shares, when and if issued, are as follows. The
statements below with respect to the Junior Participating Preferred Shares are
in all respects subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the
applicable provisions of the Declaration (including the applicable articles
supplementary) and By-Laws.
The holder of each Junior Participating Preferred Share is entitled to
quarterly dividends in the greater amount of $5.00 or 100 times the quarterly
per share dividend, whether cash or otherwise, declared upon the Common Shares.
Dividends on the Junior Participating Preferred Shares are cumulative. Whenever
dividends on the Junior Participating Preferred Shares are in arrears, the
Company, among other things, is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends,
making other distributions on, or redeeming or repurchasing Common Shares or
other Shares ranking junior to the Junior Participating Preferred Shares, and
upon failure of the Company to pay such dividends for six quarters, the holders
of the Junior Participating Preferred Shares will be entitled to elect two
Trustees. The holder of each Junior Participating Preferred Share is entitled to
100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, voting (unless
otherwise provided in the Declaration or by law) together with holders of Common
Shares as one class. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
the holders of Junior Participating Preferred Shares are entitled to a
liquidation preference of $100 per share plus the amount of any accrued and
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon (the "Liquidation Preference"), prior
to payment of any distribution in respect of the Common Shares or any other
Shares ranking junior to the Junior Participating Preferred Shares. Following
payment of the Liquidation Preference, the holders of Junior Participating
Preferred Shares are not entitled to further distributions until the holders of
Common Shares shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Share
Adjustment") equal to the Liquidation Preference divided by 100 (adjusted to
reflect events such as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations
affected the Common Shares) (the "Adjustment Number"). Following the payment of
the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and the Common Share Adjustment,
holders of Junior Participating Preferred Shares are entitled to participate
proportionately on a per share basis with holders of Common Shares in the
distribution of the remaining assets to be distributed in respect of Shares in
the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one, respectively. The powers, preferences
and rights of the Junior Participating Preferred Shares are subject to the
superior powers, preferences and rights of any senior series or class of
Preferred Shares which the Trustees shall, from time to time, authorize and
issue.
For certain other information with respect to the Shares, see
"Limitation of Liability; Shareholder Liability" and "Redemption; Business
Combinations and Control Share Acquisitions" below.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY
Maryland law permits a REIT to provide, and the Declaration provides,
that no trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of the Company shall be
held to any personal liability, jointly or severally, for any obligation of or
claim against the Company, and that, as far as practicable, each written
agreement of the Company is to contain a provision to that effect. Despite these
facts, counsel has advised the Company that in some jurisdictions the
possibility exists that shareholders of a non-corporate entity such as the
Company may be held liable for acts or obligations of the Company. Counsel has
advised the Company that the State of Texas may not give effect to the
limitation of shareholder liability afforded by Maryland law, but that Texas law
would likely recognize contractual limitations of liability such as those
discussed above. The Company intends to conduct its business in a manner
designed to minimize potential shareholder liability by, among other things,
inserting appropriate provisions in written agreements of the Company; however,
no assurance can be given that shareholders can avoid liability in all instances
in all jurisdictions.
8
<PAGE>
The Declaration provides that, upon payment by a shareholder of any
such liability, the shareholder will be entitled to indemnification by the
Company. There can be no assurance that, at the time any such liability arises,
there will be assets of the Company sufficient to satisfy the Company's
indemnification obligation. The Trustees intend to conduct the operations of the
Company, with the advice of counsel, in such a way as to minimize or avoid, as
far as practicable, the ultimate liability of the shareholders of the Company.
The Trustees do not intend to provide insurance covering such risks to the
shareholders.
REDEMPTION; BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
Redemption and Business Combinations
For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), in any taxable year, not more than 50% in value
of its outstanding Shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals during the last six months of such year, and the shares must be
owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or a
proportionate part of a taxable year less than 12 months. In order to meet these
and other requirements, the Trustees have the power to redeem or prohibit the
transfer of a sufficient number of Shares to maintain or bring the ownership of
the Shares into conformity with such requirements. In connection with the
foregoing, if the Trustees shall, at any time and in good faith, be of the
opinion that direct or indirect ownership of shares representing more than 8.5%
in value of the total Shares outstanding (the "Excess Shares") has or may become
concentrated in the hands of one beneficial owner, other than Excepted Persons,
as defined in the Declaration, the Trustees shall have the power (i) to purchase
from any shareholder of the Company such Excess Shares, and (ii) to refuse to
transfer or issue Shares to any person whose acquisition of such Shares would,
in the opinion of the Trustees, result in the direct or indirect beneficial
ownership by any person of Shares representing more than 8.5% in value of the
outstanding Shares. Any transfer of Shares, options, or other securities
convertible into Shares that would create a beneficial owner (other than any of
the Excepted Persons) of Shares representing more than 8.5% in value of the
total Shares outstanding shall be deemed void ab initio, and the intended
transferee shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein. Further the
Declaration provides that transfers or purported acquisitions, directly,
indirectly or by attribution, of Shares, or securities convertible into Shares,
that could result in disqualification of the Company as a REIT are null and void
and permits the Trustees to repurchase Shares or other securities to the extent
necessary to maintain the Company's status as a REIT. The purchase price for any
Shares so purchased shall be determined by the price of the Shares on the
principal exchange on which they are then traded, or if no such price is
available, then the purchase price shall be equal to the net asset value of such
Shares as determined by the Trustees in accordance with applicable law. From and
after the date fixed for purchase by the Trustees, and so long as payment of the
purchase price for the Shares to be so redeemed shall have been made or duly
provided for, the holder of any Excess Shares so called for purchase shall cease
to be entitled to distributions, voting rights and any and all other benefits
with respect to such Shares, except the right to payment of the purchase price
for the Shares.
The Declaration also requires that Business Combinations, as defined in
the Declaration, between the Company and a beneficial holder of 10% or more of
the outstanding Shares (a "Related Person") be approved by the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least 75% of the Shares unless (1) the Trustees by
unanimous vote or written consent shall have expressly approved in advance the
acquisition of the outstanding Shares that caused the Related Person to become a
Related Person or shall have approved the Business Combination prior to the
Related Person involved in the Business Combination having become a Related
Person; or (2) the Business Combination is solely between the Company and a 100%
owned affiliate of the Company. As permitted by law, the Company has elected to
be governed by such provisions rather than the provisions of Subtitle 6 of Title
3 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland
regarding business combinations.
Under the Declaration the number of trustees may be fixed from time to
time by two-thirds of the Trustees or by an amendment of the Declaration by the
shareholders of the Company, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 12
trustees, a majority of whom must be Independent Trustees, as defined in the
Declaration. The Declaration fixes the current number of trustees of the Company
at five and divides the Trustees into three groups. Trustees in each group are
elected to three-year terms. As the trustees' terms expire, replacements are
elected by a majority of the outstanding Shares. The classified nature of the
Trustees may make it more difficult for the
9
<PAGE>
shareholders to remove the management of the Company than if all trustees were
elected on an annual basis. Vacancies may be filled by a majority of the
remaining trustees, except that a vacancy among the Independent Trustees must be
filled by a majority of the remaining Independent Trustees or by majority vote
of the Company's shareholders. Any trustee may be removed for cause by all the
remaining trustees, or without cause by vote of two-thirds of the Shares then
outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
The provisions regarding business combinations and the classified
nature of the Trustees and certain other matters may not be repealed or amended
without the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shareholders of the Company,
provided that the Trustees, by two-thirds vote, may, without the approval or
consent of the shareholders, adopt any amendment that they in good faith
determine to be necessary to permit the Company to qualify as a REIT under the
Code.
The foregoing provisions may have the effect of discouraging unilateral
tender offers or other takeover proposals which certain shareholders might deem
in their interests or pursuant to which they might receive a substantial premium
for their Shares. The provisions could also have the effect of insulating
current management against the possibility of removal and could, by possibly
reducing temporary fluctuations in market price caused by accumulations of
Shares, deprive shareholders of opportunities to sell at a temporarily higher
market price. However, the Trustees believe that inclusion of the business
combination provisions in the Declaration may help assure fair treatment of
shareholders and preserve the assets of the Company.
Control Share Acquisition
Maryland law provides for a limitation of voting rights in a "control
share acquisition." The Maryland statute defines a control share acquisition at
the 20%, 33 1/3% and 50% acquisition levels, and requires a two-thirds vote
(excluding shares owned by the acquiring person and certain members of
management) to accord voting rights to shares acquired in a control share
acquisition. The statute would require the target company to hold a special
meeting at the request of an actual or proposed control share acquiror subject
to compliance with certain conditions by such acquiror. In addition, unless the
charter, declaration of trust or By-Laws provide otherwise, the statute gives
the Company, within certain time limitations, various redemption rights if there
is a shareholder vote on the issue and the grant of voting rights is not
approved, or if an "acquiring person statement" is not delivered to the target
company within 10 days following a control share acquisition. Moreover, unless
the charter, declaration of trust or By-Laws provide otherwise, the statute
provides that if, before a control share acquisition occurs, voting rights for
control shares are approved at a shareholders' meeting and the acquiror becomes
entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, then all other
shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. The statute does not apply to shares
acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the company is a party
to the transaction. An acquisition of shares may be exempted from the control
share statute provided that a charter, declaration of trust or By-Law provision
is adopted for such purpose prior to the control share acquisition. There are no
such provisions in the Declaration or By-Laws of the Company.
Rights Plan
In October 1994 the Trustees adopted a shareholder rights plan (the
"Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan provides for the distribution of one Junior
Participating Preferred Share purchase right (a "Right") for each Common Share.
Each Right entitles the holder to buy 1/100th of a Junior Participating
Preferred Share (or, in certain circumstances, to receive cash, property, Common
Shares or other securities of the Company) at an exercise price of $50 per
1/100th of a Junior Participating Preferred Share. Certain powers, preferences
and rights and certain qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the
Junior Participating Preferred Shares are summarized above under "Description of
Shares."
Initially, the Rights are attached to certificates representing Common
Shares. The Rights will separate from such Common Shares and a "Distribution
Date" will occur upon earlier of (1) 10 business days (or such later date as the
Trustees may determine before a Distribution Date occurs) following a public
announcement by the Company that a person or group affiliated or associated
persons, with certain exceptions (an "Acquiring Person"), has acquired, or has
obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the
outstanding Common
10
<PAGE>
Shares (the date of such announcement being a "Share Acquisition Date") or (ii)
10 business days (or such later date as the Trustees may determine before a
Distribution Date occurs) following the commencement of a tender offer or
exchange offer that would result in a person becoming an Acquiring Person.
Until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the
certificates for Common Shares and will be transferred with and only with such
Common Share certificates, (ii) Common Share certificates will contain a
notation incorporating the rights agreement pursuant to which the Rights were
issued (the "Rights Agreement") by reference and (iii) the surrender for
transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding will also constitute
the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such
certificates.
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will
expire at the close of business on October 17, 2004, unless earlier redeemed or
exchanged by the Company as described below. Until a Right is exercised, the
holder thereof, as such, has no rights as a shareholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
In the event (a "Flip-In Event") a Person becomes an Acquiring Person
(except pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for all outstanding Common Shares
at a price and on terms which a majority of the Company's Outside Trustees (as
defined in the Rights Agreement) determines to be fair to and otherwise in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders (a "fair offer")), each
holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of
such Right, Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other
securities of the Company) having a Current Market Price (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of any Flip-In Event,
all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights
Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person (or by certain
related parties) will be null and void in the circumstances set forth in the
Rights Agreement. However, Rights will not be exercisable following the
occurrence of any Flip-In Event until such time as the Rights are no longer
redeemable by the Company as set forth below.
In the event (a "Flip-Over Event") that, at any time on or after the
Share Acquisition Date, (i) the Company shall take part in a merger or other
business combination transaction (other than certain mergers that follow a fair
offer) and the Company shall not be the surviving entity or (ii) the Company
shall take part in a merger or other business combination transaction in which
the Common Shares are changed or exchanged (other than certain mergers that
follow a fair offer) or (iii) 50% or more of the Company's assets or earning
power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which
previously have been voided, as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right
to receive, upon exercise, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring
company having a Current Market Price equal to two times the exercise price of
the Right. Flip-In Events and Flip-Over Events are collectively referred to as
"Triggering Events."
The Purchase Price payable and the number of Junior Participating
Preferred Shares (or the amount of cash, property or other securities) issuable
upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to
prevent dilution (i) in the event of a share dividend on, or a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of, the Junior Participating Preferred Shares,
(ii) if holders of the Junior Participating Preferred Shares are granted certain
rights or warrants to subscribe for Junior Participating Preferred Shares or
convertible securities at less than the Current Market Price of the Junior
Participating Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the
Junior Participating Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(excluding regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or
warrants (other than those referred to above). With certain exceptions, no
adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments
amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. The Company is not required to
issue fractional Shares upon the exercise of any Right, and in lieu thereof, a
cash payment will be made.
At any time until 10 business days following the Share Acquisition
Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of
$.01 per Right, payable, at the option of the Company, in cash, Common Shares or
other consideration as the Trustees may determine. Immediately upon the
effectiveness of the action of the Trustees ordering redemption of the Rights,
the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to
receive the $.01 per Right redemption price.
11
<PAGE>
The term of the Rights, other than key financial terms and the date on
which the Rights expire, may be amended by the Trustees prior to the
Distribution Date. Thereafter, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be
amended by the Trustees only in order to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of
holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person and certain
other related parties) or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the
Rights Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to lengthen the time
period governing redemption is permitted to be made at such time as the Rights
are not redeemable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders have provided the Company with the following
information concerning the reoffer and resale of the Offered Shares. Sales of
the Offered Shares by the Selling Shareholders may be made from time to time in
one or more transactions, including block transactions, on the NYSE or any other
exchange or quotation system on which the Offered Shares may be listed or quoted
pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable rules of the exchanges, or in
the over the counter market, in negotiated transactions or in a combination of
any such methods of sale, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices or at negotiated prices. The Offered Shares may be offered directly, to
or through agents designated from time to time, or to or through brokers or
dealers, or through any combination of these methods of sale. Such agents,
brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers
of the Offered Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom
they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). A member firm of an
exchange may be engaged to act as an agent in the sale of Offered Shares by the
Selling Shareholders.
GPI, one of the Selling Shareholders, expects in the near future to,
and may, from time to time, distribute all or a portion of its Offered Shares to
its stockholders. At the time such a distribution is made, to the extent
required, a supplement to this Prospectus will be distributed which will set
forth the names and beneficial ownership of Common Shares of such GPI
stockholders receiving Offered Shares as new Selling Shareholders hereunder.
The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of the Offered Shares may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any profit on the sale of such Offered Shares by them and any
discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers
or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. At the time a particular underwritten offer of Offered Shares is
made, to the extent required, a supplement to this Prospectus will be
distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Offered Shares being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
underwriters, dealers or agents, and discounts, commissions and other items
constituting compensation from the Selling Shareholders and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
The Company and the Selling Shareholders entered into the Registration
Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Offered
Shares held by the Selling Shareholders and maintain an effective registration
statement for a period of time after the registration statement is declared
effective by the Commission. The Offered Shares registered hereunder are being
registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company agreed in
the Registration Rights Agreement to bear all expenses incurred by it in
connection with the reoffering and resale of the Offered Shares, excluding any
fees and disbursements of underwriters, brokers or dealers, underwriting
discounts and commissions, broker or dealer discounts, concessions or
commissions and certain expenses of the Selling Shareholders. Under the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Selling Shareholders will be indemnified by
the Company against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, and the Company will be indemnified by the Selling Shareholders
against certain other civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments at December 31, 1997.
A. Represents the Company's acquisition on March 30, 1998 of a commercial
office property located at 1600 Market Street in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania ("1600 Market Street"). This acquisition was funded by
drawing under the Company's existing revolving line of credit.
B. Represents the Company's acquisitions, during January 1998, February 1998,
March 1998 and April 1998 of two medical office properties and three
commercial office properties located in Pennsylvania, four commercial
office properties located in Texas, a medical office property and a
commercial office property located in Massachusetts, a commercial office

C. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of the government office properties ("Government
Office Properties") from Government Property Investors, Inc. ("GPI"). Also
reflects the decrease in interest expense arising from the Company's
issuance of its common shares of beneficial interest in a March 1997
offering, the proceeds of which were used in part to repay amounts then
outstanding under the Company's revolving line of credit, net of an
increase in interest expense related to the Company's assumption of
certain debt in connection with the acquisition of the Government Office
Properties.
D. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of two medical office properties and two parking
structures located in Los Angeles, California ("CSMC"), as well as the
increase in interest expense due to the use of the Company's revolving
line of credit to fund this acquisition.
E. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of a) a 200 unit retirement housing property located
in Spokane, Washington and 20 medical office clinics and ancillary

buildings located in Pennsylvania during the third quarter ("Third Quarter
Acquisitions") and c) a medical office property located in Colorado, a
medical office property located in Maryland, a medical office property
located in Rhode Island, three medical office properties located in
California, and a medical office property located in Washington, D.C.
during the fourth quarter ("Fourth Quarter Acquisitions"), as well as the
increase in interest expense due to the use of the Company's revolving
line of credit to fund these acquisitions.
F. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of West 34th Street in New York City ("West 34th
Street"), as well as the increase in interest expense due to the use of
the Company's revolving line of credit to fund the acquisition.
G. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of Franklin Plaza in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
("Franklin Plaza"), as well as the increase in interest expense due to the
use of the Company's revolving line of credit to fund the acquisition.
H. Represents the increase in rental income, operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative expenses arising from the
Company's acquisition of Bridgepoint Square, Austin, Texas ("Bridgepoint
Square"). Bridgepoint Square consists of five properties, of which one
property was under
F-5
<PAGE>
construction at September 30, 1997 and one property was completed in July
