Shareholders’ Equity

12 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2025

Common Shares

Class A Common Shares—Class A Common Shares entitle holders to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

Class B-1 Common Shares—ABP Trust owns 1,000,000 Class B-1 Common Shares that entitle the holder to ten votes for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each Class B-1 Common Share may, at the option of its holder, be converted into a Class A Common Share, on a one for one basis.

Class B-2 Common Shares—ABP Trust owns 15,000,000 Class B-2 Common Shares, which are paired with the 15,000,000 RMR LLC Class A Units and have no independent economic interest in RMR Inc. The Class A Units may, at the option of the holder, be redeemed for Class A Common Shares on a one to one basis and, upon such redemption, our Class B-2 Common Shares that are paired with the Class A Units are automatically canceled. RMR Inc. has the option to settle the redemption in cash. Each Class B-2 Common Share entitles the holder to ten votes per share, and, accordingly, the issuance of additional Class B-2 Common Shares would have a significant dilutive effect on the voting power of the then current holders of our Class A Common Shares.

Except as otherwise required in the charter or by applicable law, all holders of Class A Common Shares, Class B-1 Common Shares, and Class B-2 Common Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The holders of a class of common shares shall each be entitled to vote separately as a single class with respect to (and only with respect to) amendments to the charter that alter or change the powers or rights of the shares of such class of common shares so as to affect them materially and adversely; provided, however, if such amendments affect all holders of common shares materially and adversely in the same manner, the separate voting requirement shall not be applicable and all holders of common shares shall vote together as a single class.

Issuances and Repurchases

We award our Class A Common Shares to our Directors, officers and employees under the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Equity Plan, or the 2016 Plan, adopted at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we awarded to our Directors, officers and employees an aggregate of 272,872, 181,727 and 139,200, respectively, of our Class A Common Shares, of which an aggregate of 35,928, 25,314 and 18,000, respectively, were awarded to our Managing Directors and Independent Directors as part of their annual compensation for serving as Directors.

The Class A Common Shares awarded to our Independent Directors and Managing Directors, in their capacities as Directors, vest immediately and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Class A Common Shares awarded to our Managing Directors, in their capacities as our officers and employees, and to our other officers and employees vest in five equal, consecutive, annual installments beginning on the date of the award and are included in equity based compensation expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded general and administrative expenses of $600, $600 and $464, respectively, and equity based compensation expenses of $2,782, $2,705 and $2,662, respectively, related to awards we made under the 2016 Plan.

In connection with the vesting and issuance of awards of our Class A Common Shares to our Directors, officers and employees, we provide for the ability to repurchase our Class A Common Shares to satisfy tax withholding and payment obligations for those eligible to do so. The repurchase price is based on the closing price of our Class A Common Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq. The aggregate value of Class A Common Shares repurchased during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, was $903, $1,136 and $734, respectively, which is recorded as a decrease to additional paid in capital included in shareholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the issuances and repurchases of our Class A Common Shares, and as required by the RMR LLC operating agreement, RMR LLC concurrently issues or acquires an identical number of Class A Units from RMR Inc.

A summary of shares awarded and vested, including shares withheld, repurchased or forfeited, under the terms of the 2016 Plan for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
