As of December 31, 2020, the Company had commitments to acquire 323 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of $81.7 million, as well as $72.3 million in purchase commitments for land relating to our AMH Development Program.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company, as a condition for entering into some of its development contracts, had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $47.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively. Captive Insurance Company In January 2021, the Company formed a wholly owned captive insurance company, American Dream Insurance, LLC, which provides general liability insurance coverage for losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party liability insurance policy. The Company created American Dream Insurance, LLC as part of its overall risk management program and to stabilize its insurance costs, manage exposure and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program. The captive insurance company’s impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements is immaterial. Legal Matters During the third quarter of 2020, we received a notice from the Georgia Attorney General’s Office seeking certain information relevant to an investigation they are conducting about our customary landlord-tenant matters. We are cooperating with the Georgia Attorney General’s Office on this matter. We are involved in various other legal and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. We believe these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution. COVID-19 Pandemic The global economy has continued to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we anticipate will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our second fiscal quarter and likely beyond. The extent to which our operations will be impacted will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, including with respect to new variants or strains, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine distribution, vaccine adoption rates and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.
