Equity Commonwealth Files Preliminary Proxy in Connection with Proposed Plan of Sale and Dissolution of the Company

Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) (the “Company”) today announced that it has filed a preliminary proxy statement (the “Preliminary Proxy”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to a special shareholder meeting for the following purpose: (i) to consider and vote upon the Plan of Sale and Dissolution of the Company (the “Plan of Sale”), including the wind-down and complete liquidation of the Company, and the dissolution and termination of the Company, including the establishment of a Liquidating Entity (as defined in the Preliminary Proxy), and (ii) on an advisory, non-binding basis, to consider and vote upon compensation that may become payable by the Company to its named executive officers in connection with the Plan of Sale.

The Plan of Sale, which the Company’s Board of Trustees has determined is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, authorizes the Company to sell all of its remaining properties, wind-down the Company’s affairs and distribute the net proceeds to shareholders.

After receiving clearance from the SEC, the Company will file a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy”), which will be sent to shareholders. The Definitive Proxy will contain details of the special shareholder meeting (the “Special Shareholder Meeting”), including the record date, the meeting date and how shareholders can participate in and vote at the meeting.
