Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. |
Galvanic Portfolios acquired the Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business because it believ ed that the Shares reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.
On May 12, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons delivered a private letter to the Board of Trustees of the Issuer (the “Board”) expressing opposition to the Issuer’s proposed merger (the “Proposed Merger”) with Office Properties Income Trust, their intention to vote against the Proposed Merger, and their request that the Board pursue superior alternative actions. Certain of the Reporting Persons spoke with representatives of the Board on May 24, 2023, and June 7, 2023, and communicated their willingness to work constructively with the Issuer to pursue financing options.
The Reporting Persons do not have an intention to engage in any (i) control transaction with or in connection with the Issuer or (ii) contested solicitation for the election of directors of the Issuer. Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons and/or certain of their affiliates will review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the Issuer’s management and Board about a broad range of operational and strategic matters. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements which may include customary standstill provisions. Subject to applicable law and regulation and depending upon certain factors, including, without limitation, the financial performance of the Issuer, the availability and price of the Shares or other securities related to the Issuer, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other available investment opportunities and other general market and investment conditions, the Reporting Persons and/or certain of their affiliates may determine to take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate and may, from time to time determine to: (i) to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares and/or other equity, debt, derivative securities or other instruments that are convertible into Shares, or are based upon or relate to the value of the Shares or the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) on the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge its economic exposure to the Shares or other Securities without affecting the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Shares or other Securities. Such transactions may take place at any time and without prior notice. There can be no assurance, however, that any Reporting Person or any of their affiliates will take any such actions.
Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. |
(a), (b) Based upon the Issuer’s Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2023, there were 239,682,467 Shares issued and outstanding as of May 3, 2023. The 14,603,818 Shares beneficially owned by Galvanic Portfolios (the “Subject Shares”) represent approximately 6.1% of the Shares issued and outstanding.
Manager II, as the manager of Galvanic Portfolios, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Subject Shares. Adviser II, as the investment adviser of Galvanic Portfolios, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Subject Shares.

On June 12, 2023, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 6.1% of the Shares issued and outstanding. None of Manager II, Adviser II, DESCO LLC, or DESCO LP owns any of the Subject Shares directly, and each of Manager II, Adviser II, DESCO LLC, and DESCO LP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
CUSIP No. 25525P107 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 10 of 12 |

Shaw’s position as President and sole shareholder of DESCO II Inc., which is the managing member of DESCO LLC, which in turn is the managing member of Manager II, which in turn is the manager of Galvanic Portfolios, David E. Shaw may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Subject Shares as described above. Therefore, David E. Shaw may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares. David E. Shaw disclaims beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
As of June 12, 2023, neither any Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of any Reporting Person, any of the persons set forth in Item 2, owned any Shares other than those set forth in Item 5.
