On September 22, 2011, Daniel J. Rosenberg was appointed as Senior Vice President — Legal and General Counsel of Behringer Harvard Multifamily REIT I, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us”).  Mr. Rosenberg will continue to serve as our Secretary, a position he has held since December 2007.  Mr. Rosenberg serves in the same capacities for our advisor and our property manager.  Mr. Rosenberg joined Behringer Harvard in June 2004.  Mr. Rosenberg is responsible for legal matters related to Behringer Harvard’s multifamily platform.  Prior to the formation of the first Behringer Harvard sponsored multifamily program in 2006, Mr. Rosenberg was responsible for all legal aspects of Behringer Harvard’s private offerings.  Prior to joining Behringer Harvard, Mr. Rosenberg was a corporate associate at the New York office of what was then Katten Muchin Zavis Rosenman LLP, a leading national law firm, where he represented private and public companies in a wide range of corporate transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, financings, joint ventures, private placements and high-yield debt offerings.  Mr. Rosenberg received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and a Juris Doctor degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia.  Mr. Rosenberg is licensed as an attorney in Texas and New York.

 

The appointment of Mr. Rosenberg was not made pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person. We do not directly compensate our officers for services rendered to us. Other than his affiliation with our advisor and our property manager and our ongoing relationship with them as previously reported, Mr. Rosenberg does not have any direct or indirect material interests in any transaction with us or in any currently proposed transaction to which we are a party.

On September 22, 2011, our board of directors authorized distributions payable to the stockholders of record each day for October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.  Distributions payable to each stockholder of record will be paid in cash on or before the 16th day of the following month.  The declared distributions equal a daily amount of $0.0016438 per share of common stock.  If this rate were paid each day for a 365-day period, it would equal a 6.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share.  A portion of each distribution may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.  There is no assurance that we will continue to declare distributions or at this rate.
