SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D filed jointly by Tremont Realty Capital LLC (f/k/a Tremont Realty Advisors LLC), a Maryland limited liability company (“TRC”), The RMR Group LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and the sole member of TRC (“RMR LLC”), The RMR Group Inc., a Maryland corporation and the managing member of RMR LLC (“RMR INC”), ABP Trust, a Maryland statutory trust and the controlling shareholder of RMR INC, and Adam D. Portnoy (individually, a “Reporting Person,” and together, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 4, 2021 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Seven Hills Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate trust (the “Issuer”). Except as amended herein, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.

“Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration” is hereby amended by adding the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D summarizing certain provisions of the letter agreement dated as of May 11, 2022, between TRC and Diane Portnoy (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which TRC purchased Common Shares from Diane Portnoy, is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

“Item 4. Purpose of Transaction” of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

On May 11, 2022 TRC purchased 882,407 Common Shares from Diane Portnoy pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement at a purchase price of $10.73 per share. TRC funded the transaction with cash on hand.

“Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer” of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

TRC is the direct record owner of 1,708,058 Common Shares, ABP Trust is the direct record owner of 78,879 Common Shares, and Adam D. Portnoy is the direct record owner of 175,426 Common Shares.

The aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by TRC is 1,708,058, representing approximately 11.7% of the Common Shares outstanding as of April 25, 2022.

Voting and investment power with respect to the Common Shares owned by TRC may be deemed to be shared by RMR LLC, RMR INC, ABP Trust and Adam D. Portnoy. TRC is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of RMR LLC, which is the direct majority owned operating subsidiary of RMR INC. Neither RMR LLC nor RMR INC directly owns any Common Shares. Each of RMR LLC and RMR INC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 1,708,058 Common Shares held by TRC, representing approximately 11.7% of the Common Shares outstanding as of April 25, 2022.

ABP Trust may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,786,937 Common Shares, consisting of the 78,879 Common Shares it directly holds and the 1,708,058 Common Shares held by TRC, representing approximately 12.2% of the Common Shares outstanding as of April 25, 2022.

Voting and investment power with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by ABP Trust may be deemed to be shared by Adam D. Portnoy as the President, controlling shareholder and sole trustee of ABP Trust. Therefore, Adam D. Portnoy may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,962,363 Common Shares, consisting of the 175,426 Common Shares he directly holds and the 1,786,937 Common Shares beneficially owned by ABP Trust, representing approximately 13.4% of the Common Shares outstanding as of April 25, 2022.

The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Schedule 13D are based on approximately 14,597,079 Common Shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer outstanding as of April 25, 2022, based on information provided by the Issuer.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, as of March 31, 2022, the other individuals named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D beneficially owned 78,114 Common Shares as follows: Jennifer B. Clark, 10,295 Common Shares; Jennifer F. Francis, 5,778 Common Shares; Matthew P. Jordan, 28,672 Common Shares; G. Douglas Lanois, 12,518 Common Shares; Thomas J. Lorenzini, 5,430 Common Shares; John G. Murray, 9,428 Common Shares; and Jonathan M. Pertchik, 5,993 Common Shares.

Except as described in Items 3 and 4, there have been no reportable transactions with respect to the Common Shares within the last 60 days by the Reporting Persons.
