As of the close of business on the date hereof, the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially owned an aggregate of 445,437 Shares, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding.
 
Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer owned by the other Reporting Persons.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.
 
 
(d)
No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
Lakewood Capital Partners has entered into certain cash-settled total return swap agreements with Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”). The swaps with CSFB constitute economic exposure to 86,000 notional Shares.  Lakewood Capital Partners has also entered into certain cash-settled total return swap agreements with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MSCO”). The swaps with MSCO constitute economic exposure to 2,995,228 notional Shares.
 
Lakewood Capital Partners’ swap agreements with each of CSFB and MSCO (collectively, the “Swap Agreements”) provide Lakewood Capital Partners with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide it with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the Shares that are the subject of the Swap Agreements (such shares, the “Subject Shares”). Taking into account the Subject Shares, Lakewood Capital Partners has economic exposure to 3,481,877 Shares (representing approximately 5.8% of the outstanding Shares on the same basis). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.
 
On December 5, 2014, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed, among other things, to (a) the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Issuer and (b) solicit proxies for the election of the Nominee at the 2015 Annual Meeting (the “Solicitation”).  The Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Pursuant to a letter agreement, Lakewood Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates have agreed to indemnify Mr. Lenehan against any and all claims of any nature arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions.  A copy of the indemnification letter agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP NO. 81618T100
 
Lakewood Capital Partners has signed a compensation letter agreement with Mr. Lenehan, pursuant to which Lakewood Capital Partners agrees to pay him: (i) $25,000 in cash as a result of the submission by Lakewood Capital Partners of its nomination of Mr. Lenehan to the Issuer and (ii) $25,000 in cash upon the filing of a definitive proxy statement by Lakewood Capital Partners with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the solicitation of proxies in favor of Mr. Lenehan’s election as a trustee at the 2015 Annual Meeting.  Pursuant to the compensation letter agreement, Mr. Lenehan has agreed to use the after-tax proceeds from such compensation to acquire securities of the Issuer (the “Nominee Shares”) at such time that Mr. Lenehan shall determine, but in any event no later than 14 days after receipt of such compensation.  If elected or appointed to serve as a trustee of the Board, Mr. Lenehan agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Nominee Shares within two (2) years of his election or appointment as a trustee; provided, however, in the event that the Issuer enters into a business combination with a third party, Mr. Lenehan may sell, transfer or exchange the Nominee Shares in accordance with the terms of such business combination. A copy of the compensation letter agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Re:
Select Income REIT
 
Dear Mr. Lenehan:

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Trustees of Select Income REIT (the “Company”) in connection with the proxy solicitation that Lakewood Capital Partners, LP and its affiliates (collectively, the “Lakewood Capital Group”) is considering undertaking to nominate and elect trustees at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, or any other meeting of shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Lakewood Capital Group Solicitation”).  Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its shareholders.  This letter (“Agreement”) will set forth the terms of our agreement.
 
The members of the Lakewood Capital Group agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from the Lakewood Capital Group Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions or material breach of the terms of this agreement; provided further, that upon your becoming a trustee of the Company, this indemnification shall not apply to any claims made against you in your capacity as a trustee of the Company.  This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Lakewood Capital Group Solicitation and any related transactions (each, a “Loss”).
 
In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give the Lakewood Capital Group prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify the Lakewood Capital Group shall not relieve us from any liability which we may have on account of this Agreement, except to the extent we shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure).  Upon receipt of such written notice, the Lakewood Capital Group will provide you with counsel to represent you.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you.  In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein.  The Lakewood Capital Group may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.
 
You hereby agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any party, without the consent of the Lakewood Capital Group, any confidential, proprietary or non-public information (collectively, “Information”) of the Lakewood Capital Group, its affiliates or any members of any group formed by the Lakewood Capital Group pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Schedule 13D Group”) which you have heretofore obtained or may obtain in connection with your service as a nominee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Information shall not include any information that is publicly disclosed by the Lakewood Capital Group, its affiliates or any members of any Schedule 13D Group or any information that you can demonstrate is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on your part, otherwise generally known to the public.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process to disclose any Information you may do so provided that you first promptly notify the Lakewood Capital Group so that the Lakewood Capital Group or any member thereof may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in the Lakewood Capital Group’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or the Lakewood Capital Group does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you may consult with counsel at the cost of the Lakewood Capital Group and you may furnish only that portion of the Information which you are advised by counsel is legally required to be so disclosed and you will request that the party(ies) receiving such Information maintain it as confidential.
 
 
 

 

All Information, all copies thereof, and any studies, notes, records, analysis, compilations or other documents prepared by you containing such Information, shall be and remain the property of the Lakewood Capital Group and, upon the request of a representative of the Lakewood Capital Group, all such information shall be returned or, at the Lakewood Capital Group’s option, destroyed by you, with such destruction confirmed by you to the Lakewood Capital Group in writing.

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.

Dear Mr. Lenehan:
 
This letter sets forth our mutual agreement with respect to compensation to be paid to you for your agreement to be named and serve as a nominee of a group of investors (the “Lakewood Capital Group”), including Lakewood Capital Partners, LP, an affiliate of Lakewood Capital Management, LP, for election as a trustee of Select Income REIT (the “Company”) at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, or any other meeting of shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, (the “Annual Meeting”).
 
In consideration of your agreement to be named and serve as nominee of the Lakewood Capital Group for election as a trustee of the Company at the Annual Meeting, the undersigned hereby agrees to pay you (i) $25,000 in cash upon the Lakewood Capital Group submitting a letter to the Company nominating you for election as a trustee of the Company (with such payment to be made as soon as reasonably practicable after you have been nominated) and (ii) $25,000 in cash upon the filing by the Lakewood Capital Group of a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to a solicitation of proxies in favor of your election as a trustee of the Company at the Annual Meeting.  You hereby agree to use the after-tax proceeds from such compensation, or an equivalent amount of other funds, to acquire securities of the Company (the “Nominee Shares”) at such time that you shall determine, but in any event no later than 14 days after receipt of such compensation; provided, however, in the event you are unable to transact in the securities of the Company due to possession of material non-public information or any other limitation or restriction, you shall have 14 days from the first date that you can transact in the securities of the Company to acquire such securities.  If elected or appointed to serve as a trustee of the Company’s Board, you agree not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Nominee Shares within two (2) years of your election or appointment as a trustee; provided, however, in the event that the Company enters into a business combination with a third party, you may sell, transfer or exchange the Nominee Shares in accordance with the terms of such business combination.
 
The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws, and by applicable laws of the United States.  The parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction of the New York State and United States courts located in New York County, New York for the resolution of any disputes hereunder and agree that venue shall be proper in any such court notwithstanding any principle of forum non conveniens and that service of process on the parties hereto in any proceeding in any such court may be effected in the manner provided herein for the giving of notices.  The parties hereto waive trial by jury in respect of any such proceeding.
 
 
 

 
 
This letter agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of you and your heirs, successors and assigns.
 
This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
