SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 1 to the original Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 21, 2012 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), by CommonWealth REIT (“CommonWealth”), Reit Management & Research LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMR”), Reit Management & Research Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (“RMR Trust”), Barry M. Portnoy and Adam D. Portnoy (individually, a “Reporting Person”, and together, the “Reporting Persons”) is being filed to reflect a material decrease in the percentage of the common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Select Income REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Issuer”), beneficially owned by CommonWealth, due to the issuance of additional Shares by the Issuer on December 11, 2012, as more fully described below.

ITEM 1.                                                SECURITY AND ISSUER.

The class of equity securities to which this Amendment No. 1 relates is the Shares of the Issuer.  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at Two Newton Place, 255 Washington Street, Suite 300, Newton, Massachusetts 02458.

ITEM 2.                                                IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

The persons filing this statement are the Reporting Persons.  There have been no material changes to the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the Reporting Persons.

ITEM 3.                                                SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

There have been no material changes to the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the Reporting Persons.

ITEM 4.                                                PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

There have been no material changes to the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the Reporting Persons.

ITEM 5.                                                INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

“Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer” of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a)                     Amount beneficially owned and percentage of class:

As described in the Original Schedule 13D, CommonWealth beneficially owns 22,000,000 Shares.  As of December 11, 2012, these 22,000,000 Shares represent approximately 56.0% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares.

Neither RMR nor RMR Trust holds any Shares.  RMR, as manager of CommonWealth, and RMR Trust, as the sole member of RMR, may, under applicable regulatory definitions, be deemed to beneficially own (and have shared voting and dispositive power over) the 22,000,000

SCHEDULE 13D/A

Shares beneficially owned by CommonWealth, but each expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of CommonWealth’s 22,000,000 Shares.

Mr. Barry M. Portnoy and Mr. Adam D. Portnoy each beneficially own 2,000 Shares.  In their respective positions with RMR and RMR Trust described in Item 2 above, Mr. Barry M. Portnoy and Mr. Adam D. Portnoy may also be deemed to beneficially own (and have shared voting and dispositive power over) the 22,000,000 Shares beneficially owned by CommonWealth, but each expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of CommonWealth’s 22,000,000 Shares.

Mr. Barry M. Portnoy and Mr. Adam D. Portnoy each beneficially own less than 1% of the Shares, and RMR and RMR Trust beneficially own none of the Shares.  Reference is made to Item 5(a) above as to the Shares beneficially owned by CommonWealth that may, under applicable regulatory definitions, be deemed to be beneficially owned by RMR, RMR Trust, Mr. Barry M. Portnoy or Mr. Adam D. Portnoy.  If all Shares beneficially owned by CommonWealth were beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons, the percentage beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Shares by each such Reporting Person would be approximately 56.0%.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the other individuals named in Item 2 above beneficially own an aggregate of 16,450 Shares (a portion of which are subject to vesting requirements), which represent less than 1% of the issued and outstanding Shares and which are not included in the percentages owned by the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any beneficial ownership of these Shares.

(b)                     Number of Shares as to which such person has:

(i)                         Sole power to vote or direct the vote:

(ii)                      Shared power to vote or direct the vote:

SCHEDULE 13D/A

(iii)                   Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

(iv)                  Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

Reference is made to Item 5(a) above as to the Issuer’s Shares beneficially owned by CommonWealth, which may, under applicable regulatory definitions, be deemed to be beneficially owned by RMR, RMR Trust, Mr. Barry M. Portnoy or Mr. Adam D. Portnoy.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the other individuals named in Item 2 above have sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, all of the Shares they beneficially own.

(c)           Transactions effected in the past sixty days:

No transactions in Shares have been effected during the past sixty days by any of the Reporting Persons or the trustees, directors or executive officers, if applicable, of any Reporting Person.

(d)   No other person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this statement.

(e)           Not applicable.

SCHEDULE 13D/A

ITEM 6.                                                CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

“Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer” of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Issuer was formed on December 19, 2011 as a real estate investment trust that is focused on owning and investing in net leased, single tenant properties.  On February 16, 2012, CommonWealth transferred 251 properties to the Issuer, and, in return, the Issuer issued to CommonWealth 22,000,000 Shares (including the 1,000 Shares initially issued to CommonWealth) and a $400 million demand promissory note.  The Issuer filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with respect to its initial public offering of Shares, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 6, 2012, at which time the registration of the Shares under the Act also became effective.  On March 12, 2012, the Issuer completed its issuance and sale of 9,200,000 Shares in its initial public offering (including 1,200,000 Shares sold pursuant to an underwriters’ over allotment option).  Giving effect to its initial public offering, the Issuer remains a subsidiary of CommonWealth, and three of the Issuer’s five trustees, including both of its managing trustees, are also Trustees of CommonWealth.

In connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, CommonWealth and the Issuer entered into or amended various agreements and arrangements with each other and RMR, which provides management services to both CommonWealth and the Issuer, including:  (i) a transaction agreement between CommonWealth and the Issuer, which provides, among other things, that CommonWealth and the Issuer will cooperate to enforce the ownership limitations in its respective declarations of trust as may be appropriate to qualify for and maintain REIT tax status and otherwise to promote its respective orderly governance and future relations; (ii) a business management agreement between the Issuer and RMR, which provides, among other things, that under certain circumstances RMR may be entitled to an incentive fee payable in Shares, in addition to its cash compensation; (iii) a property management agreement between the Issuer and RMR; and (iv) an amendment to the business management agreement between CommonWealth and RMR.

On December 11, 2012, the Issuer issued 8,050,000 additional Shares in an underwritten public offering (including 1,050,000 Shares sold pursuant to an underwriters’ option to acquire additional Shares).

For additional information relating to the relationships and other transactions among the Issuer, CommonWealth, RMR, the other Reporting Persons and other companies to which RMR provides management services and others affiliated with or related to them, please refer to CommonWealth’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC (including the portion of the sections captioned “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Related Person Transactions” and Note 9 to the notes to CommonWealth’s consolidated financial statements appearing therein that appear in Exhibit 99.2 hereto), to the portion of the section captioned “Related Person Transactions and Company Review of Such Transactions” in CommonWealth’s definitive Proxy Statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 8, 2012, dated February 28, 2012, that appears in Exhibit 99.2 hereto, the portion of Item 1.01 to CommonWealth’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 12, 2012, that appears in Exhibit 99.2 hereto, to CommonWealth’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
