On May 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc. (the “Company”) and on May 13, 2016, the Company’s sole stockholder approved an amendment and restatement to the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement to: (1) add a new Class R common stock, $0.01 par value per share; and (2) modify the classification of 1,200,000,000 shares of authorized common shares, of which 600,000,000 shares were classified as Class A common stock and 600,000,000 shares were classified as Class T common stock, such that 480,000,000 shares are classified as Class A common stock, 240,000,000 shares are classified as Class R common stock and 480,000,000 shares are classified as Class T common stock. The Company filed the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on May 16, 2016 (the “Amended Articles”).

The material terms of the Amended Articles described herein are qualified in their entirety by the Amended Articles, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 13, 2016, the Company’s sole stockholder, in lieu of holding a special meeting, executed a written consent pursuant to Section 2-505(a) of the Maryland General Corporation Law approving the Amended Articles.





Item 8.01    Other Events.

The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to $1,300,000,000 in shares of its common stock on February 5, 2016 (the “Public Offering”). The terms of the Company’s public offering required the Company to deposit all subscription proceeds in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Company’s escrow agreement with UMB Bank, N.A., the Company’s escrow agent, until the earlier of the date the Company received subscriptions aggregating at least $2,000,000 (including shares purchased in the Company’s public offering by the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates and directors and officers) or February 5, 2017. On May 16, 2016, the Company received subscriptions aggregating at least $2,000,000, and the subscription proceeds held in escrow were released to the Company. On May 16, 2016, the Company had received and accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 89,780 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and zero shares of the Company’s Class T common stock in the Public Offering, resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $2,027,709.
Pursuant to the Company’s independent directors’ compensation plan, upon raising $2,000,000 in gross offering proceeds in the Public Offering, each of the Company’s three independent directors, Stephen R. Bowie, Ned W. Brines and Janice M. Munemitsu, received a grant of 2,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Class A common stock. The shares of restricted Class A common stock vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the date of grant and ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted stock will fully vest on the earlier to occur of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability, or (2) a change in control of the Company.
