^The fund has adopted a managed distribution plan. Under a managed distribution plan, to the extent that sufficient investment income is not available on a monthly basis, the fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in order to maintain its managed distribution level. You should not draw any conclusions about the fund’s investment performance from the amount of the fund’s distributions or from the terms of the fund’s managed distribution plan. The Board of the fund may amend the terms of the plan or terminate the plan at any time without prior notice to the fund’s shareholders. The amendment or termination of a plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the fund’s common shares. The plan will be subject to periodic review by the Board. With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to shareholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the fund’s investment experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The fund will send shareholders a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. The fund may at times distribute more than its net investment income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may result in a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that shareholders invested in the fund is paid back to them. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. Any such returns of capital will decrease the fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make the level of distributions called for under its plan, the fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time. For estimated source information for distributions paid in prior periods, please see MFS.com and click on the following links: Products & Strategies, Closed-End Funds, Dividend Source Information.

*Distribution from “Other Sources” may contain sources of income other than ordinary income, such as short term capital gains, long term capital gains, or return of capital, which can not be determined until the close of the fund’s fiscal year end. Distributions that are treated for federal income tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares and, to the extent the distribution exceeds a shareholder’s adjusted tax basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale of shares. Please see the fund’s most recent dividend source information available from payable date at MFS.com for the breakdown of the distribution.

Investors who want to make changes to their accounts should contact their financial advisor, brokerage firm, or other nominee with whom the shares are registered. If shares are registered with the funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, the transfer agent may be contacted directly at 800-637-2304, or www.computershare.com.

Equity Commonwealth Declares Its Final Cash Liquidating Distribution of $1.60 Per Common Share and Its Plan to Delist from NYSE

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Trustees has authorized the Company’s final cash liquidating distribution of $1.60 per common share (the “Final Cash Liquidating Distribution”) which will be paid on April 22, 2025 to shareholders of record on April 11, 2025. This brings the aggregate cash liquidating distributions to $20.60 per common share, inclusive of the $19.00 per share paid in December.

The Company also intends to file a Form 25, or Notification of Removal from Listing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) relating to the delisting of the common shares on or about April 11, 2025. The Company’s last day of trading on NYSE will be April 21, 2025. After payment of the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution and delisting from NYSE, the Company will continue the process of winding down, transfer any remaining assets and liabilities to a Maryland liquidating trust and deregister with the SEC, which is likely to occur before the end of the second quarter of 2025. EQC’s common shares will then be converted into beneficial interest units in the liquidating trust, on a one for one basis. Distributions from the liquidating trust, if any, would be nominal.

Because the payment of the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution represents more than 25% of the price of the Company’s common shares, NYSE has advised the Company that its common shares will trade with “due bills” representing an assignment of the right to receive the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution from the record date of April 11, 2025 through the closing of trading on NYSE on April 21, 2025, the last day of trading (this period of time representing the “Dividend Right Period”).

Shareholders who sell their common shares during the Dividend Right Period will be selling their right to the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution, and such shareholders will not be entitled to receive the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution. Due bills obligate a seller of common shares to deliver the Final Cash Liquidating Distribution payable on such common shares to the buyer and holder of the common shares as of the payment date (the “Dividend Right”). The record date of April 11, 2025 will be used as the date for establishing the due bill tracking of the Dividend Right to the holder of common shares.

Due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing the buyers and the sellers of shares. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of the Company’s common shares should consult their brokers before trading to be sure they understand the effect of NYSE’s due bill procedures.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the cash liquidating distributions, as well as the Plan of Sale and Dissolution of the Company, are summarized in the Definitive Proxy.

About Equity Commonwealth

Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) is a Chicago based, internally managed and self-advised real estate investment trust (REIT).
