Election of Trustees
Duffy became a Managing Trustee and CEO effective January 2026, joining the board within the past 24 months, which exempts her from the TSR performance trigger; she brings deep REIT and real estate operating experience, and no overboarding, attendance, or independence concerns are present.
ILPT's 3-year price return of +90% outpaces the ^FNER (FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index) 3-year return of +10.5% by +79.5 percentage points, which does not exceed the 65pp threshold required to trigger a No vote under the strong-positive TSR tier; Gans meets all attendance, independence, and qualification standards.
The TSR trigger does not fire given ILPT's +79.5pp outperformance versus ^FNER falling below the 65pp strong-positive threshold; Harris Jones meets all attendance, independence, and qualification criteria and has no overboarding concerns.
ILPT's 3-year outperformance of +79.5pp versus ^FNER does not breach the 65pp strong-positive TSR trigger; Morea is a CPA and investment banking veteran who serves as Audit Committee Chair and financial expert, meeting all policy standards.
No TSR trigger fires given ILPT's strong outperformance of the ^FNER benchmark; Phelan has deep commercial real estate and capital markets experience and meets all attendance, independence, and qualification requirements.
The TSR trigger does not apply given ILPT's +79.5pp 3-year outperformance versus ^FNER falling below the 65pp threshold; while Portnoy holds multiple RMR-managed company board seats, the proxy notes these are integral to his role as CEO of RMR and do not constitute traditional overboarding under these specific managed-REIT circumstances.
No TSR trigger fires and Youngs has no overboarding, attendance, or independence concerns; she brings valuable supply chain and logistics expertise directly relevant to ILPT's industrial portfolio focus.
All seven trustee nominees receive a FOR vote. ILPT's 3-year stock return of +90% outperforms the ^FNER (FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index) by +79.5 percentage points, which does not meet the 65pp underperformance threshold required to trigger votes against any director under the strong-positive TSR tier. Yael Duffy is additionally exempt as a director who joined within the past 24 months. No overboarding, attendance, independence, or qualification concerns were identified for any nominee.

Prior Support
N/A
ILPT's compensation structure is highly unusual: the company pays its CEO (Yael Duffy) only $153,326 in total compensation, consisting entirely of stock awards ($149,999) and a small amount of dividend distributions on unvested shares ($3,327), with zero cash salary or bonus paid directly by the company. This is because all executives are employees of the external manager RMR, which pays their cash compensation separately. The stock awards vest over five years, creating long-term alignment with shareholders, and ILPT's share price returned +69% over the past year and +90% over three years, significantly outperforming the ^FNER benchmark — indicating that the incentive structure is working as intended.
Auditor Ratification
✓ FORAuditor
Deloitte & Touche LLP
Tenure
6 yrs
Audit Fees
$1,249,740
Non-Audit Fees
$36,847
Non-audit fees (tax fees of $35,899 plus other fees of $948, totaling approximately $36,847) represent only about 2.9% of audit fees of $1,249,740, well below the 50% threshold that would raise independence concerns; Deloitte has served since June 2020 (roughly 6 years), far below the 25-year tenure threshold; and Deloitte is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a company of ILPT's size and complexity.
Overall Assessment
ILPT's 2026 annual meeting ballot is straightforward with four proposals: all seven trustee nominees receive FOR votes as the company's strong 3-year TSR of +90% dramatically outperforms the ^FNER (FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index) benchmark, and no governance concerns were identified; auditor Deloitte ratification is supported given minimal non-audit fees and appropriate tenure. The say-on-pay vote receives a FOR determination given the unusually lean compensation structure — the CEO receives only $153,326 in total direct pay from ILPT, all in stock awards, with no cash salary paid by the company — reflecting the externally managed REIT model where RMR separately compensates executives.
