On December 12, 2014, American Homes 4 Rent (the “Company”) and its operating partnership, American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. (the “OP”) entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with American Homes 4 Rent, LLC (“AH LLC”). Pursuant to the Agreement, AH LLC contributed to the OP all of AH LLC’s interest in 45 single family residential properties (the “Properties”) owned by AH LLC. The value of the Properties was determined by broker price opinions prepared by independent third parties. In exchange for the Properties, the OP issued to AH LLC 653,378 Class A units of the OP valued at $17.11 per unit, the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for the Company’s Class A common stock on December 11, 2014. A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

AH LLC is the owner of approximately 21.8% of the Company’s outstanding common shares and OP Units.  HF Investments 2010, LLC, which is comprised of trusts established by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, B. Wayne Hughes, for certain of his heirs, owns approximately 88.66% membership interest in AH LLC.

Singelyn (4.93% membership interest), Chief Operating Officer, John Corrigan (4.93% membership interest), Executive Vice President, David Goldberg (1% membership interest) and  Marvin M.
