Irenic Capital Management, LP, one of the top shareholders of Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) (“EQC” or the “Company”), today issued the following statement regarding the need for the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to heed shareholder feedback and pursue a liquidation of EQC:

“After a decade of underperformance, it is time for EQC’s Board to focus exclusively on an orderly liquidation. This value-maximizing path offers certainty for shareholders, who are clearly opposed to gambling on any ‘transformative’ acquisition. We agree with Indaba Capital and Land & Buildings, and we urge the Board to heed the clear shareholder feedback and commit to scheduling a vote on a prospective liquidation when second quarter earnings are announced next week.”
