Seven Hills Realty Trust Welcomes Ann M. Danner as Independent Trustee

Seven Hills Realty Trust (Nasdaq: SEVN) strengthens its leadership with the recent election of Ann M. Danner as an Independent Trustee, expanding its board to seven members, of which 71% are now independent. Danner brings a wealth of experience in the real estate sector, having founded RHA Advisors LLC in 2018 and previously serving as CEO of Residential Homes of America, Inc. (RHA), which she established in 1986. With over 40 years in the industry, her expertise encompasses residential and multifamily development, making her a valuable addition to Seven Hills Realty Trust as it navigates the complexities of the commercial real estate landscape.

Danner's extensive background includes pivotal roles at American United, Inc. and various advisory positions, underscoring her commitment to the real estate community. Her involvement with organizations such as the Professional Advisory Board of ALSAC and as Director Emeritus of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital highlights her dedication to both business and philanthropic efforts. Adam Portnoy, Chair of the Board of Trustees at SEVN, expresses confidence that Danner’s insights into residential real estate will significantly contribute to the company’s strategic objectives, particularly in enhancing shareholder value.

The appointment of Danner is facilitated by the Nominating and Governance Committee, with support from Korn Ferry, a well-regarded executive search firm. This move signals Seven Hills Realty Trust's commitment to strengthening its governance structure and bringing diverse expertise to its board. As a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust, SEVN focuses on originating and investing in first mortgage loans secured by middle-market transitional commercial real estate. The trust is managed by Tremont Realty Capital, an affiliate of The RMR Group, which oversees nearly $41 billion in assets, showcasing a robust management foundation that aligns with Danner’s extensive experience.

In addition to the board expansion, Seven Hills Realty Trust maintains a strong commitment to investor interests and corporate governance.
