Companies that benchmark against DHC
5 companies name DHC as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses DHC in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named DHC in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “With respect to Proposal 1, a proxy marked "WITHHOLD ALL" or "FOR ALL EXCEPT" will have the same effect as an abstention for all nominees or for those nominees noted in the appropriate portion of the proxy card, respectively, and will not be counted for purposes of determining a plurality of votes cast, but will be counted as a vote "AGAINST" for purposes of determining a majority of votes cast under our Company's Trustee resignation policy.”.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “With respect to Proposal 1, a proxy marked "WITHHOLD ALL" or "FOR ALL EXCEPT" will have the same effect as an abstention for all nominees or for those nominees noted in the appropriate portion of the proxy card, respectively, and will not be counted for purposes of determining a plurality of votes cast, but will be counted as a vote "AGAINST" for purposes of determining a majority of votes cast under the Company's Trustee resignation policy.”.

c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions are not votes cast and, therefore, will not be included in vote totals and will have no effect on the outcome of any Proposal to be acted upon at the 2024 Annual Meeting.”.

Approval percentages are the company's own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

10a

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Diversified Healthcare Trust names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.

Reciprocity shown where the peer's own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer's filing. A dash means the peer's current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Diversified Healthcare Trust.

10b

Chief executive pay against the peer group

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.
