Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. Completes Internalization of Its Management

NEW YORK, September 30, 2014 - Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. (NYSE: SBY) (the “Company” or “Silver Bay”) announced today that it has closed the previously announced transaction to internalize the Company’s management (the “Internalization”) after receiving the required stockholder approval for the transaction. The Internalization was completed under the terms of a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) among Silver Bay, Pine River Domestic Management L.P., Provident Real Estate Advisors LLC, PRCM Real Estate Advisers LLC (the “Manager”), and Silver Bay Operating Partnership L.P., Silver Bay’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), pursuant to which Silver Bay acquired the Manager in exchange for 2,231,511 common units of the Operating Partnership.

“The successful completion of the management internalization is a significant milestone for Silver Bay,” said David N. Miller, Silver Bay’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The transaction will benefit our stockholders by enhancing the Company’s cash flow profile beginning in the fourth quarter. We look forward to the next phase of our Company’s growth and development as a leading institution in the single family rental industry.”

Silver Bay now owns all material assets and intellectual property rights of the Manager previously used in the conduct of its business and continues to be managed by officers and employees who worked for the Manager and became employees of Silver Bay or a subsidiary thereof as a result of the Internalization. David N. Miller, Silver Bay’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Christine Battist, Silver Bay’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Lawrence B. Shapiro, Silver Bay’s Chief Operating Officer, continue to serve in those roles. Upon closing of the Internalization, Irvin R. Kessler assumed his position as Chairman of the Board following the resignation of Brian C. Taylor, which resignation was made pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and effective as of the closing of the Internalization. In addition, Daniel J. Buechler, who previously worked for the Manager, was appointed Silver Bay’s General Counsel following the resignation of Timothy W.J. O’Brien, who continues to serve as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer of Pine River.
