Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Diversified Healthcare Trust and its subsidiaries, or we, us, or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or our Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairments of real estate and intangible assets.
We have been, are currently, and expect in the future to be involved in claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, some of which may involve material amounts. Also, the defense and resolution of these claims, lawsuits, and regulatory and other governmental audits, investigations and proceedings may require us to incur significant expense. We account for claims and litigation losses in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, or ASC 450. Under ASC 450, loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable and estimable losses at our best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at our estimate of the minimum loss. These estimates are often developed prior to knowing the amount of the ultimate loss, require the application of considerable judgment, and are refined as additional information becomes known. Accordingly, we are often initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss and therefore the estimated minimum loss amount, which could be zero, is recorded; and then, as information becomes known, the minimum loss amount is updated, as appropriate. A minimum or best estimate amount may be increased or decreased when events result in a changed expectation.
Going Concern
The senior living industry has been adversely affected by the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the current economic and market conditions. These conditions continue to have a significant negative impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Although there have been signs of recovery and increased demand recently when compared to the low levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot be sure when or if the senior housing business will return to historic pre-pandemic levels. To mitigate the effects of the slow recovery coming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased variability in operating cash flows from our senior housing operating portfolio, or SHOP, segment, we continue to work with our senior living operators to manage costs, especially labor costs, and to increase rates and occupancy. In order to increase the probability of a recovery of our cash flows, we have continued to invest capital in our SHOP segment, which has reduced our cash balances since the filing of our Annual Report on March 1, 2023. Our ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to debt service was below the 1.5x incurrence requirement under our credit agreement and our public debt covenants as of March 31, 2023, and we cannot be certain how long this ratio will remain below 1.5x. We are unable to issue any debt until this ratio is at or above 1.5x on a pro forma basis. As of March 31, 2023, we had $380,117 of cash and cash equivalents and $700,000 of outstanding debt due within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements, or May 8, 2023. This included $450,000 in outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, which matures on January 15, 2024. Our credit facility is secured by 61 properties which had an appraised value in excess of $1,300,000 based on appraisals completed to secure our credit facility. In addition to our credit facility maturity in January of 2024, we also have $250,000 of senior notes that mature on May 1, 2024.
Based on the challenges described above, as well as our reduced cash balances, additional capital commitments in both our Office Portfolio and SHOP segments and upcoming debt maturities, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements, or May 8,
2023. As described below, we have entered into an agreement to merge with and into Office Properties Income Trust, or OPI. The combined company is expected to be in compliance with its financial covenants following the closing of the merger, which is expected to provide the combined company with increased access to debt capital. While we believe this transaction will alleviate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we cannot provide assurance that the merger will close on the contemplated terms or timeline or at all. If the merger does not close, we will seek to raise additional capital, but we are limited in the type of financings we can pursue as we cannot issue any debt, as described above. Due to deteriorating capital market conditions, we do not believe it is probable as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, or May 8, 2023, that we will raise sufficient capital to meet our upcoming contractual commitments. As of May 8, 2023, we cannot demonstrate that our management's plans to alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern will be probable in mitigating the conditions that raise the substantial doubt because our plan to merge with OPI is subject to shareholder and other customary approvals and our potential plan to raise rescue capital is subject to market conditions beyond our control.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Pending Merger with Office Properties Income Trust
On April 11, 2023, we and OPI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereof, we will be merged with and into OPI, with OPI continuing as the surviving entity in the merger, or the Merger.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the date and time the Merger becomes effective, or the Effective Time, each of our common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, or our common shares, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.147 (such ratio, the Exchange Ratio) common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, of OPI, or the OPI Common Shares, subject to adjustment for certain reclassifications, distributions, recapitalizations or similar transactions and other exceptional distributions as described in the Merger Agreement, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. At the Effective Time, any outstanding unvested common share awards under our equity compensation plan will be converted into an award under OPI’s equity compensation plan, subject to substantially similar vesting requirements and other terms and conditions, of a number of OPI Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of our unvested common shares subject to such award by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number). Other than as provided in the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the market price of our common shares or the OPI Common Shares prior to the Effective Time. The OPI Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding common shares of beneficial ownership of the surviving entity following the Merger. OPI expects to change its name from “Office Properties Income Trust” to “Diversified Properties Trust” at the Effective Time.
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof were evaluated, negotiated and recommended to our Board of Trustees, or our Board, by a special committee of our Board, or the DHC Special Committee, and to OPI’s board of trustees, or the OPI Board, by a special committee of OPI’s Board, or the OPI Special Committee, each consisting of disinterested, independent trustees of us and OPI, respectively. Following the recommendations of the DHC Special Committee and the OPI Special Committee, our Board and the OPI Board each approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and resolved to recommend that our and OPI's shareholders, respectively, vote in favor of approval of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby. Our shareholders will be asked to vote on the approval of the Merger and related matters at a special meeting of our shareholders.
The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others: (1) the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our outstanding common shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (2) the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding OPI Common Shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (3) the approval of the issuance of the OPI Common Shares to be issued in the Merger, or the Share Issuance, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes cast by holders of outstanding OPI Common Shares at the meeting held for that purpose; (4) the absence of any statute, rule or regulation by any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction or any temporary, preliminary or permanent judgment, order or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction which would prohibit or
make illegal or prevent the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (5) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4, or the Form S-4, to be filed by OPI with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in connection with the Share Issuance; (6) the approval (subject to notice of issuance) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, of the listing of the OPI Common Shares to be issued in the Merger; (7) the extension or replacement of OPI’s existing revolving credit facility, on terms that, among other things, would not be reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business, operations or financial condition of OPI after giving effect to the Merger and would not delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger; (8) the receipt of certain tax opinions by us and OPI; and (9) the other party’s representations and warranties being accurate (subject to certain customary materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed or complied in all material respects with its agreements and covenants in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants providing that we and OPI will use reasonable best efforts to conduct our and its respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, and to refrain from taking certain types of actions without the other party’s consent during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of the Merger Agreement, subject in each case to specified exceptions.
