Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Home Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) has had an ongoing offering of its common stock, par value $.01 (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”). In addition, the Company has an ongoing offering of Common Stock by certain holders of units of limited partnership interest under the partnership agreement of the Company’s subsidiary Home Properties, L.P. Under the partnership agreement, such holders (the “Selling Shareholders”) are entitled to exchange their interests for shares of Common Stock and to have the resale of that Common stock registered. The interests were issued to the Selling Shareholders in connection with five acquisitions of apartment communities owned by them on October 4, 2006, February 15, 2007, March 28, 2007, November 1, 2007, and June 17, 2010.
Under the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are required to file new registration statements for ongoing offerings every three years. On February 28, 2013, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-186939) (the “Registration Statement”) covering its common stock, preferred stock and debt which may be offered from time to time. On March 1, 2013, the Company filed two prospectus supplements to the Registration Statement covering 2,912,342 shares of Common Stock issuable in the future to participants in the ongoing Plan, either from newly issued or treasury shares, and the resale by the Selling Shareholders of up to 819,832 shares of Common Stock.
A copy of the Plan is filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.1.
The shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan and to the Selling Shareholders were previously registered and remain unsold under the Company’s prior registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-165165).
