RMR Funds' Revised Merger Documents Filed With SEC

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund

today announced that it has filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to effect its combination with RMR Real Estate Income Fund

. On June 6, 2011, RIF filed a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus to effect a merger of RAP into RIF. Among other matters, that merger was conditioned upon receipt of a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, that the merger would be a tax free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(

) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. After further consultation with the IRS, the Boards of Trustees of RAP and RIF have determined to restructure the proposed combination so that RIF will now be merged into RAP, with the substantive results of the combination remaining unchanged, insofar as the surviving fund in the merger will be substantively identical to RIF.
