Proper corporate governance is important to Diversified Healthcare Trust. We have a six member Board of Trustees, of which four are Independent Trustees. There are three standing Committees of the Board: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Our three standing Board Committees are comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Board's Audit Committee currently has a qualified Audit Committee "financial expert" as defined by SEC rules.
