<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have entered into a sales agreement (the &#147;sales agreement&#148;) relating to our Class&nbsp;A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per
share (our &#147;Class&nbsp;A Common Shares&#148;), offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus pursuant to a continuous offering program with each of Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA
Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Raymond James&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC, as Sales Agents (as defined below) and (except in the case of BTIG, LLC) as Forward Sellers, Nomura Securities International, Inc. (acting through BTIG, LLC as agent), as Forward Seller, and each of the Forward Purchasers (as
defined below). We refer to these entities, when acting in their capacity as our sales agents, individually as a &#147;Sales Agent&#148; and collectively as the &#147;Sales Agents&#148; and, if applicable, when acting in their capacity as agents for
the Forward Purchasers, individually as a &#147;Forward Seller&#148; and collectively as the &#147;Forward Sellers.&#148; In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, we may from time to time offer and sell our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares
having an aggregate gross sales offering price of up to $1,000,000,000 through or to the Sales Agents or by the Forward Sellers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The sales agreement
contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares by us through the Sales Agents (or to the Sales Agents acting as principals), we may also enter into one or more forward sale agreements from time to time with
each of Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, Bank of America, N.A., Bank of Montreal, Citibank, N.A., Jefferies LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Nomura Global Financial Products, Inc., Raymond
James&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc., Regions Securities LLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or one of their respective affiliates. We refer to these entities, when acting in such capacity, individually as a
&#147;Forward Purchaser&#148; and collectively as the &#147;Forward Purchasers.&#148; In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) will, at our request, use commercially reasonable efforts,
consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to borrow from third parties and sell, through its affiliated Forward Seller, a number of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares equal to the number of Class&nbsp;A
Common Shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement to hedge such forward sale agreement. We will not initially receive any proceeds from any sales of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares by a Forward Seller in connection with a forward sale
agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to certain conditions, we generally have the right to elect physical, cash or net share settlement under the forward sale agreements.
We expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any, with the relevant Forward Purchaser on one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement. We may also elect to either cash
settle or net share settle our obligations under the forward sale agreements if we determine that is in our best interest to do so. If we elect to cash settle any forward sale agreement, we may not receive any proceeds, and we may owe cash to the
relevant Forward Purchaser. If we elect to net share settle any forward sale agreement, we will not receive any proceeds, and we may owe Class&nbsp;A Common Shares to the relevant Forward Purchaser. See &#147;Plan of Distribution&#151;Sales Through
Forward Sellers.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each Sales Agent will be entitled to a commission at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of
the gross sales price per share for any Class&nbsp;A Common Shares sold through it. Each Forward Seller will receive from us a commission at a mutually agreed rate in the form of a reduction to the initial forward sale price under the related
forward sale agreement that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross sales price of the borrowed shares sold by such Forward Seller during the applicable forward hedge selling period for such shares. In connection with the sale of
our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares pursuant to the sales agreement, the Sales Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may be </P>

account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares to a Sales Agent, as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement with the Sales Agent, setting forth the terms of such transaction, and we will
describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No Sales Agent and no Forward Seller is required to sell any specific
number or dollar amount of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares, but, subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, each of the Sales Agents and the Forward Sellers has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its

Purchaser), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the sales agreement. Our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares offered and sold through the Sales Agents and the Forward Sellers pursuant to the sales agreement will be offered and sold
through only one Sales Agent or by one Forward Seller on any given trading day. The offering of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the sale of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares

formed on October&nbsp;19, 2012. We are focused on acquiring, developing, renovating, leasing and managing single-family homes as rental properties. We commenced operations in November 2012. We have an integrated operating platform that consists of
approximately 1,816<B> </B>personnel as of March&nbsp;31, 2023, dedicated to property management, acquisitions, development, marketing, leasing, financial and administrative functions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of March&nbsp;31, 2023, we held 58,639 single-family properties in selected <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-markets</FONT> of metropolitan statistical
areas within 21 states, including 903 properties classified as held for sale, and 56,049 of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) were occupied. We also held an additional 2,688 properties in unconsolidated joint ventures as of
March&nbsp;31, 2023.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe we have become a leader in the single-family home rental industry by aggregating a geographically diversified portfolio of
high-quality single-family homes and developing into a nationally recognized brand that is well-known for quality, value and resident satisfaction and is well respected in our communities. Our goal is to simplify the experience of leasing a home and
deliver peace of mind to households across the country. Our investments may be made directly or through investment vehicles with third-party investors. We began adding newly constructed
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;built-for-rental&#148;</FONT></FONT> single-family properties to our portfolio in 2017 through our internal &#147;AMH Development Program&#148; and through acquisitions from
third-party developers via our &#147;National Builder Program.&#148; Our objective is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders through dividends and capital appreciation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that we have been organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under U.S. federal income tax
laws for each of our taxable years commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 through the taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022. We expect to satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S.
federal income tax laws for our current taxable year ending December&nbsp;31, 2023 and subsequent taxable years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal executive office is

following risk factors, together with the other risks contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2022
and other documents filed by us with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement that are deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision. These risks are
not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations
and our ability to make cash distributions to our shareholders could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares could decline significantly, and you could lose all or part of your
investment. Some statements in this prospectus supplement, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled &#147;Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking

in the price of their securities. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management&#146;s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, our ability to execute our business

factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares is the dividend rate as a percentage of the share price, relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates increase, prospective
investors may seek alternative investments paying higher dividends or interest. As a result, interest rate fluctuations and capital market conditions can affect the market price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. In addition, to the extent we have
variable rate debt, rising interest rates would result in increased interest expense on our variable rate debt, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions on our Class&nbsp;A Common
Shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends regularly although we have done so in the past. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to pay dividends in the future is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash from our operations. We have regularly issued
new common shares of beneficial interest, and we have periodically issued new preferred shares and common shares pursuant to public offerings or acquisitions. Any new common shares of beneficial interest issued will substantially increase the cash
required to continue to pay cash dividends at current or higher levels. Any common shares or preferred shares that may in the future be issued to finance acquisitions, upon exercise of options or otherwise, would have a similar effect. </P>

approval, to cause us to issue additional common shares or to raise capital through the issuance of preferred shares (including equity or debt securities convertible into Class&nbsp;A Common Shares), options, warrants and other rights, on terms and

sales or issuances could occur, could cause the market price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares to decrease significantly. As of June&nbsp;5, 2023, we had 361,265,192 Class&nbsp;A Common Shares issued and outstanding. We cannot predict the effect, if
any, of future sales of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares, the issuance of preferred shares, options, warrants and other rights or the availability of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares for future sales on the value of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. </P>

limit our ability to pay a dividend or other distribution to the holders of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. Our decision to issue securities in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot
predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future issuances, and purchasers of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares in this offering bear the risk of our future issuances reducing the market price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our board of trustees determines the amount and timing of distributions. In making this determination, our trustees will consider all relevant factors,
including the amount of cash available for distribution, our level of taxable income, capital expenditures, applicable laws, general operational requirements and the preferential distribution rights of holders of our outstanding preferred shares of
beneficial interest. We intend over time to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. However, we bear all expenses incurred by our operations, and the funds generated by our operations, after deducting these
expenses, may not be sufficient to cover desired levels of distributions to our shareholders. In addition, the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred shares of beneficial interest outstanding, including our Series G Cumulative
Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares and our Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares as well as any additional class or series of preferred shares of beneficial interest that we may issue, unless the terms of such class or series
provide otherwise, have preferential distribution rights to the holders of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. In addition, our board of trustees, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such cash in excess of the amount required to satisfy the
REIT distribution requirements for working capital. We cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to make distributions to you. We may be unable to pay, maintain or increase distributions over time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to shareholders. Because we may receive income from interest or rents
at various times during our fiscal year, distributions paid may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period. The amount of cash available for distributions will be affected by many factors, including without limitation, the
amount of time it takes for us to deploy the net proceeds of this offering in our target assets, the amount of income we earn from those investments, the levels of our operating expense and many other variables. Actual cash available for
distribution may vary substantially from estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While we intend to fund the payment of quarterly distributions to our shareholders entirely from
distributable cash flows, we may fund our quarterly distributions to our shareholders from a combination of available net cash flows, equity capital and proceeds from borrowings. In the event we are unable to consistently fund future quarterly
distributions to our shareholders entirely from distributable cash flows, the value of our shares may be negatively impacted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our ability to pay
dividends is limited by the requirements of Maryland law. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to pay dividends on our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares is limited by Maryland

Common Shares during the term of such forward sale agreement. If the specified daily rate is less than the spread under such forward sale agreement on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale
price. If the prevailing market price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares during the relevant valuation period under any forward sale agreement is above the relevant forward sale price, in the case of cash settlement, we would pay the relevant Forward
Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the difference or, in the case of net share settlement, we would deliver to the relevant Forward Purchaser a number of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares having a value equal to the difference, and, in each case,
such difference would include a commission to such Forward Purchaser. Thus, we could be responsible for a potentially substantial cash or stock payment. See &#147;Plan of Distribution&#151;Sales Through Forward Sellers&#148; for information on the

agreements from time to time and, subject to certain conditions, we have the right to elect physical, cash or net share settlement under these agreements at any time and from time to time, in part or in full. In the event that we elect to settle any
forward sale agreement for cash and the settlement price is below the applicable forward sale price, we would be entitled to receive a cash payment from the relevant Forward Purchaser. Under Section&nbsp;1032 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
&#147;Code&#148;), generally, no gains and losses are recognized by a corporation in dealing in its own shares, including pursuant to a &#147;securities futures contract,&#148; as defined in the Code by reference to the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Although we believe that any amount received by us in exchange for our common shares would qualify for the exemption under Section&nbsp;1032 of the Code, because it is not entirely clear whether a forward sale agreement
qualifies as a &#147;securities futures contract,&#148; the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any cash settlement payment we receive is uncertain. In the event that we recognize a significant gain from the cash settlement of a forward sale
agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code. In that case, we may be able to rely upon the relief provisions under the Code in order to avoid the loss of our REIT status. Even if the
relief provisions apply, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of (i)&nbsp;the excess of 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such income attributable to sources that qualify
under the 75% test or (ii)&nbsp;the excess of 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) over the amount of such gross income attributable to sources that qualify under the 95% test, multiplied in either case by a
fraction intended to reflect our profitability. In the event that these relief provisions were not available, we could lose our REIT status under the Code. </P>

owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (taking into account certain constructive ownership rules) at any time during the last half of any taxable year (other than our first taxable year) or during a proportionate part of any
shorter taxable year. In addition, our shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of each taxable year (other than our first taxable year) or during a proportionate part of any shorter taxable year. For the
purpose of preserving our qualification as a REIT, our declaration of trust contains certain restrictions on the acquisition of common shares and preferred shares to ensure compliance with these requirements. These restrictions could have the effect
of delaying, deferring, or preventing a transaction which holders of some, or a majority, of the common shares or preferred shares might believe to be in their best interests. See &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer&#148; in the

the applicable Forward Purchaser aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement in an amount equal to the number of shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. The forward sale price that we

hedge selling period for such shares less a forward hedge selling commission not to exceed 2.0% (which gross sales price will be adjusted for daily accruals based on a floating interest rate and specified amounts related to expected dividends on our
Class&nbsp;A Common Shares if an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;ex-dividend&#148;</FONT> date occurs during such forward hedge selling period). If, however, we elect to cash settle or net share settle any forward sale agreement, we would

maturity date of April&nbsp;15, 2025 but may be extended by AMH for up to one year under certain conditions. All borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at either an adjusted SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.45%

sales will be made pursuant to the terms of the sales agreement we entered into with the Sales Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers on June&nbsp;9, 2023. Sales of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares, if any, made through the Sales
Agents, acting as our sales agents, or the Forward Sellers, acting as agents for the applicable Forward Purchaser, or directly to a Sales Agent, acting as principal, as contemplated by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, may
be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be &#147;at the market&#148; offerings, including sales made directly on the NYSE or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Offers and sales may be
made to our officers, directors and affiliates. As our sales agents, the Sales Agents will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the price of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The sales agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by us of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares to or through the relevant Sales Agent, we
may enter into separate forward sale agreements with each of the Forward Purchasers. If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any Forward Purchaser, we expect such Forward Purchaser will attempt to borrow and sell, through its affiliated
Forward Seller, our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares to hedge such Forward Purchaser&#146;s exposure under such forward sale agreement, in accordance with the mutually accepted instructions related to such forward sale agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of the Sales Agents, acting as our sales agents, or the Forward Sellers, acting as agents for the relevant Forward Purchaser, if applicable, are required
to sell any specific number or dollar amount of our Class&nbsp;A Common Shares but, subject to the terms and conditions of the sales agreement, each has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales
practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares so designated by us (if acting as our sales agent) and all of the borrowed shares (if acting as agent for the relevant Forward Purchaser). Our Class&nbsp;A
Common Shares offered and sold through the Sales Agents, as our sales agents or as Forward Sellers, as agents for the relevant Forward Purchasers, pursuant to the sales agreement will be offered and sold through only one Sales Agent or Forward

considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many
of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. </P>

managing single-family homes as rental properties. We commenced operations in November 2012. We have an integrated operating platform that consists of approximately 1,816 personnel as of March&nbsp;31, 2023, dedicated to property management,
acquisitions, development, marketing, leasing, financial and administrative functions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of March&nbsp;31, 2023, we held 58,639 single-family properties
in selected <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-markets</FONT> of metropolitan statistical areas within 21 states, including 903 properties classified as held for sale, and 56,049 of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) were
occupied. We also held an additional 2,688 properties in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March&nbsp;31, 2023.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe we have become a leader in
the single-family home rental industry by aggregating a geographically diversified portfolio of high-quality single-family homes and developing into a nationally recognized brand that is well-known for quality, value and resident satisfaction and is
well respected in our communities. Our goal is to simplify the experience of leasing a home and deliver peace of mind to households across the country. Our investments may be made directly or through investment vehicles with third-party investors.
We began adding newly constructed <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;built-for-rental&#148;</FONT></FONT> single-family properties to our portfolio in 2017 through our internal &#147;AMH Development Program&#148;

(&#147;Class&nbsp;B common shares,&#148; and together with the Class&nbsp;A common shares, the &#147;common shares&#148;), and 100,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (&#147;preferred shares&#148;). Except as
provided below, the Class&nbsp;A common shares and Class&nbsp;B common shares have the same rights and privileges, rank equally and are otherwise identical in all respects. Our declaration of trust authorizes our board of trustees, with the approval
of a majority of the entire board and without any action on the part of our shareholders, to amend our declaration of trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares or the number of authorized shares of any class or series
without shareholder approval. Maryland law provides, and our declaration of trust provides, that none of our shareholders are personally liable for any of our obligations solely as a result of that shareholder&#146;s status as a shareholder. </P>

least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter unless a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, is set forth in the REIT&#146;s
declaration of trust. Our declaration of trust provides that such actions (other than certain amendments to the provisions of our declaration of trust related to the removal of trustees, the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our shares and
termination of the trust) may be taken if declared advisable by a majority of our board of trustees and approved by the vote of shareholders holding a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the provisions of our declaration of trust regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our shares and except as may otherwise be
specified in our declaration of trust, each outstanding Class&nbsp;A common share entitles the holder to one vote, and each outstanding Class&nbsp;B common share entitles the holder to 50 votes, on all matters on which the shareholders of
Class&nbsp;A common shares are entitled to vote, including the election of trustees, and, except as provided with respect to any other class or series of shares, the holders of Class&nbsp;A common shares and Class&nbsp;B common shares will vote
together as a single class and will possess the exclusive voting power. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Class&nbsp;B common shares are not entitled to vote on any matter requiring &#147;Partnership Approval.&#148; &#147;Partnership
Approval&#148; is defined in the agreement of limited partnership of our operating partnership, as amended, as approval obtained when the sum of the (1)&nbsp;the percentage interest of partners consenting to the transaction, plus (2)&nbsp;the
product of (a)&nbsp;the percentage of the outstanding Class&nbsp;A units held by the general partner entity multiplied by (b)&nbsp;the percentage of the votes that were cast in favor of the transaction by the holders of the common shares of
beneficial interest (or other comparable equity interest) of the general partner entity equals or exceeds the percentage required for the general partner entity&#146;s shareholders to approve the transaction. In addition, in no event may holders of
shares beneficially owned by HF Investments 2010, LLC, as determined in accordance with Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13d-3</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), vote more than 30% of
the total votes entitled to be cast on any particular matter nor more than 18% of the total votes of the Class&nbsp;A common shares. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our trustees, which means that the shareholders entitled to cast a
majority of the votes of the outstanding common shares can elect all of the trustees then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any trustees. Each trustee shall be elected by the vote of a majority
of the votes cast with respect to the trustee at any meeting for the election of trustees at which a quorum is present, provided that if the number of persons lawfully nominated exceeds the number of trustees to be elected, the trustees shall be
elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present. Under a plurality voting standard, trustees who receive the greatest number of votes cast in their favor are elected to the board of trustees. A
majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless a higher vote is required herein or by statute or
by our declaration of trust. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Power to Reclassify and Issue Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our board of trustees may classify any unissued preferred shares, and reclassify any unissued common shares or any previously classified but unissued preferred
shares into other classes or series of shares, including one or more classes or series of shares that have priority over our common shares with respect to voting rights or distributions or upon liquidation, and authorize us to issue the newly
classified shares. Prior to the issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of trustees is required by Title 8 of the MGCL and our declaration of trust to set, subject to the provisions of our declaration of trust regarding the
restrictions on ownership and transfer of our shares, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each such
class or series. These actions can be taken without shareholder approval, unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law, the terms of any other class or series of our shares or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation
system on which our shares may be then listed or quoted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conversion of Class&nbsp;B Common Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The holder of our Class&nbsp;B common shares also owns the units of limited partnership, or OP units, in our operating partnership. In the event a holder of
Class&nbsp;B common shares transfers its OP units to a transferee, other than a &#147;qualified transferee,&#148; which includes family members and affiliates of or other entities controlled by such holder, then one Class&nbsp;B common share held by
such holder automatically converts into one Class&nbsp;A common share for every 49 OP units transferred by the holder. If the holder of Class&nbsp;B common shares transfers any OP units to a qualified trustee, and then such qualified trustee in turn
transfers the same OP units to another qualified trustee of the original transferor, then one Class&nbsp;B common share held by the first qualified transferee will automatically convert into one Class&nbsp;A common share for every 49 OP units
transferred by the first qualified transferee. In such case, if the first qualified transferee does not own a sufficient number of Class&nbsp;B common shares, then the initial transferor will be responsible for the deficiency in Class&nbsp;B common
shares, and a number of Class&nbsp;A common shares equal to such deficiency held by the initial transferor (or, if the initial transferor does now own sufficient Class&nbsp;B common shares, then one or more other qualified transferees of such
initial transferor) will automatically convert into one Class&nbsp;A common share for every 49 OP units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Class&nbsp;B common shares transferred to a transferee other than a qualified transferee will automatically
convert into an equal number of Class&nbsp;A common shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Power to Increase or Decrease Authorized Shares and Issue Additional Shares of Our Common
and Preferred Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our declaration of trust authorizes our board of trustees, with the approval of a majority of the entire board, to amend our
declaration of trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares or the number of authorized shares of any class or series without shareholder approval. We believe that the power of our board of trustees to increase or decrease
the number of authorized shares and to classify or reclassify unissued common shares or preferred shares and thereafter to cause us to issue such shares will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and
acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise. The additional classes or series, as well as the additional shares, will be available for issuance without further action by our shareholders, unless such action is required by applicable
law, the terms of any other class or series of shares or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. Although our board of trustees does not intend to do so, it could authorize us to
issue a class or series that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of our company that might involve a premium price for our shareholders or otherwise be in
their best interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer </B></P>

the last half of a year); transferring equity shares if such transfer would result in our equity shares being owned by less than 100 persons; and beneficially owning equity shares if such beneficial ownership would otherwise cause us to fail to

if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. We also have the right to withhold, from any amounts otherwise payable to you, with respect to all distributions (deemed or actual) to the extent
that withholding is or was required for such distributions under applicable tax withholding rules. You should review the information appearing in the last paragraph under the caption &#147;<B> &#151;</B>Dividends&#148; for information regarding the

deposit agreement among us, the depositary named therein and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary receipt will be entitled, in proportion to
the fractional interest of a preferred share of a particular series represented by the depositary shares evidenced by such depositary receipt, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred shares represented by such depositary shares (including
dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the

the applicable form of deposit agreement and depositary receipt may be obtained from us upon request, and the statements made hereunder relating to the deposit agreement and the depositary receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain

depositary receipts owned by such holders, subject to certain obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the preferred shares depositary. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the preferred shares depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary
receipts entitled thereto, subject to certain obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the preferred shares depositary, unless the preferred shares depositary determines
that it is not feasible to make such distribution, in which case the preferred shares depositary may, with our approval, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to such holders. </P>

delivery at such office, to or upon such holder&#146;s order, of the number of whole or fractional preferred shares and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares evidenced by such depositary receipts. Holders of depositary
receipts will be entitled to receive whole or fractional preferred shares on the basis of the proportion of preferred shares represented by each depositary share as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, but holders of such preferred

number of depositary shares representing preferred shares so redeemed, provided we shall have paid in full to the preferred shares depositary the redemption price of the preferred shares to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the corresponding proportion of the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable with respect to the preferred shares. If
fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional depositary shares) or by any other equitable method determined by us
that will not result in a violation of the ownership restrictions in our declaration of trust. See &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From and after the date fixed for redemption, all dividends in respect of the preferred shares so called for redemption will cease to accrue, the depositary
shares so called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares so called for redemption will cease, except the right to receive any moneys payable
upon such redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of such depositary receipts were entitled upon such redemption and surrender thereof to the preferred shares depositary. </P>

of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable preferred shares are entitled to vote, the preferred shares depositary will mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts evidencing
the depositary shares which represent such preferred shares. Each record holder of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred shares) will be entitled to
instruct the preferred shares depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of preferred shares represented by such holder&#146;s depositary shares. The preferred shares depositary will vote the amount of preferred
shares represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by the preferred shares depositary in order to enable the preferred shares depositary to
do so. The preferred shares depositary will abstain from voting the amount of preferred shares represented by such depositary shares to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary receipts evidencing such
depositary shares. The preferred shares depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote, or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-action</FONT> is in good faith and does not result from negligence or willful misconduct of the preferred shares depositary. </P>

be amended by agreement between us and the preferred shares depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary receipts or that would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of the related preferred shares will not be effective unless such amendment has been approved by the existing holders of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the applicable depositary shares
evidenced by the applicable depositary receipts then outstanding. No amendment shall impair the right, subject to certain exceptions in the deposit agreement, of any holder of depositary receipts to surrender any depositary receipt with instructions
to deliver to the holder the related preferred shares and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with law. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any such amendment becomes
effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the deposit agreement as amended thereby. </P>

termination is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT or (ii)&nbsp;a majority of each series of preferred shares affected by such termination consents to such termination, whereupon the preferred shares depositary shall deliver or make available
to each holder of depositary receipts, upon surrender of the depositary receipts held by such holder, such number of whole or fractional preferred shares as are represented by the depositary shares evidenced by such depositary receipts together with
any other property held by the preferred shares depositary with respect to such depositary receipts. We have agreed that if the deposit agreement is terminated to preserve our status as a REIT, then we will use our best efforts to list the preferred
shares issued upon surrender of the related depositary shares on a national securities exchange. In addition, the deposit agreement will automatically terminate if (i)&nbsp;all outstanding depositary shares shall have been redeemed, (ii)&nbsp;there
shall have been a final distribution in respect of the related preferred shares in connection with our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders of depositary receipts evidencing the

transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the deposit agreement. In addition, we will pay the fees and expenses of the preferred shares depositary in connection with the performance of its duties under
the deposit agreement. However, holders of depositary receipts will pay the fees and expenses of the preferred shares depositary for any duties requested by such holders to be performed which are outside of those expressly provided for in the

different Trustees for different series of debt securities, each Trustee will be a Trustee of a trust or trusts separate and apart from the trust or trusts administered by any other Trustee under the Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in any
applicable prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a Trustee may be taken by such Trustee only with respect to the one or more series of debt securities for which it is the Trustee under the Indenture. Any Trustee under the
Indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities. All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and all registration, transfer, exchange, authentication and delivery (including
authentication and delivery on original issuance of the debt securities) of, the debt securities of a series will be effected by the Trustee with respect to that series at an office designated by the Trustee. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may maintain corporate trust relationships in the ordinary course of business with the Trustee. The Trustee shall have and be subject to all the duties and

the request of any holder of debt securities, unless offered indemnity or security satisfactory to it by the holder against the losses, damages, costs, expense and liabilities which might be incurred thereby. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture is deemed to contain limitations on the right of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of our operating
partnership, to obtain payment of claims in some cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee may engage in other transactions with our operating partnership. If it acquires any
conflicting interest under the Trust Indenture Act relating to any of its duties with respect to the debt securities, however, it must eliminate the conflict or resign as Trustee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to our qualification and taxation as a REIT, and the
acquisition, holding, and disposition of our Class&nbsp;A common shares, preferred shares, and depositary shares (together with our common shares and preferred shares, the &#147;shares&#148;), as well as our warrants and rights. A summary of the
U.S. federal income tax considerations to you as a prospective holder of a particular series of our operating partnership&#146;s debt securities will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement. For purposes of the following discussion,
references to &#147;our Company,&#148; &#147;the Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; and &#147;us&#148; mean only American Homes 4 Rent and not its subsidiaries or affiliates. This discussion is based upon the Code, the U.S. Treasury Regulations, rulings
and other administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS (including administrative interpretations and practices expressed in private letter rulings which are binding on the IRS only with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested
and received those rulings), and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or
that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. We have not sought and will not seek an advance ruling from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this section. The discussion is also based upon
the assumption that we will operate the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities in accordance with their applicable organizational documents. This discussion is for general information only, and does not purport to discuss all aspects
of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular investor in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to investors subject to special tax rules, including: </P>

as a REIT commencing with our first taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. A REIT generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that it distributes to shareholders provided that the REIT meets the applicable REIT distribution
requirements and other requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We believe that we have been organized and operated in a manner so as to satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend
to continue to be organized and operated in a manner that will allow us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including through our actual
annual (or in some cases quarterly) operating results, requirements relating to income, asset ownership, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership, and the various other REIT qualification requirements imposed under the Code. Given the
complex nature of the REIT qualification requirements, the ongoing importance of factual determinations and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, we cannot provide any assurances that we have been or will be organized or operated
in a manner so as to satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, or that we will meet in the future the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify as a REIT.&#148;

qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our &#147;REIT taxable income&#148; (generally, taxable income subject to specified adjustments, including a deduction for dividends paid and
excluding our net capital gain) that is distributed currently to our shareholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the &#147;double taxation&#148; at the corporate and shareholder levels that generally results from an investment in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> &#147;C&#148; corporation. A <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> &#147;C&#148; corporation is a corporation that generally is required to pay tax at the corporate level. Double taxation means
taxation once at the corporate level when the income is earned and once again at the shareholder level when the income is distributed. In general, the income that we generate is taxed only at the shareholder level upon a distribution of dividends to
our shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. shareholders generally will be subject to taxation on dividends distributed by us (other than designated capital gain dividends
and &#147;qualified dividend income&#148;) at rates applicable to ordinary income, instead of at lower capital gain rates. For taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2026, generally, U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts or estates
may deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary dividends distributed by us, subject to certain limitations. Capital gain dividends and qualified dividend income will continue to be subject to a maximum 20% rate. </P>

generally is considered an individual. However, a trust that is a qualified trust under Code Section&nbsp;401(a) generally is not considered an individual, and beneficiaries of a qualified trust are treated as holding shares of a REIT in proportion

persons required to include in gross income the dividends paid by us). We must maintain a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with this demand as part of our records. We could be subject to monetary penalties if we fail to comply
with these record-keeping requirements. A shareholder that fails or refuses to comply with the demand is required by Treasury Regulations to submit a statement with its tax return disclosing the actual ownership of our shares and other information.

purposes, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its pro rata share of the assets of the partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, based on its
capital interest in such partnership or limited liability company. Also, the REIT will be deemed to be entitled to the income of the partnership or limited liability company attributable to its pro rata share of the assets of that entity. The assets
and gross income of the partnership or limited liability company retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of Section&nbsp;856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests and the asset tests. Thus, our pro rata
share of the assets and items of income of our operating partnership, including our operating partnership&#146;s share of these items of any partnership or limited liability company in which our operating partnership owns an interest, are treated as

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have included a brief summary of the rules governing the U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships and limited liability companies and their partners or

partnership and the subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies in which our operating partnership invests in a manner consistent with the requirements for our qualification and taxation as a REIT. We have interests in several joint
ventures in which we are a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-managing</FONT> member in a limited liability company. In the future, we may be a limited partner or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-managing</FONT> member in some of our
partnerships and limited liability companies. If such a partnership or limited liability company were to take actions which could jeopardize our qualification as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such
entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a REIT income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in a time frame that would allow us
to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless entitled to relief, as described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, liability is imposed on the partnership (rather than its partners) for adjustments to reported partnership taxable
income resulting from audits or other tax proceedings. The liability can include an imputed underpayment of tax, calculated by using the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate, as well as interest and penalties on such imputed underpayment of
tax. Using certain rules, partnerships may be able to transfer these liabilities to their partners. In the event any adjustments are imposed by the IRS on the taxable income reported by any subsidiary partnerships, we intend to utilize certain rules
to the extent possible to allow us to transfer any liability with respect to such adjustments to the partners of the subsidiary partnerships who should properly bear such liability. However, there is no assurance that we will qualify under those
rules or that we will have the authority to use those rules under the operating agreements for certain of our subsidiary partnerships. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Ownership of

subsidiary will be treated as our assets, liabilities and such items (as the case may be) for all purposes of the Code, including the REIT qualification tests. For this reason, references in this discussion to our income and assets should be

REIT in which we directly or indirectly hold stock, and that has made a joint election with us to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section&nbsp;856(l) of the Code. A taxable REIT
subsidiary also includes any corporation other than a REIT in which a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours owns, directly or indirectly, securities (other than certain &#147;straight debt&#148; securities), which represent more than 35% of the total
voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. For purposes of the following discussion, the term &#147;taxable REIT subsidiary&#148; includes subsidiaries of the taxable REIT subsidiaries. Other than some activities
relating to lodging and health care facilities, a taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services to our tenants without causing us
to receive impermissible tenant service income under the REIT gross income tests. A taxable REIT subsidiary is required to pay regular U.S. federal income tax, and state and local income tax where applicable, as a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-REIT</FONT> &#147;C&#148; corporation. In addition, a taxable REIT subsidiary may be prevented from deducting interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by us if certain tests regarding the taxable REIT
subsidiary&#146;s debt to equity ratio and interest expense are not satisfied. If dividends are paid to us by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, then a portion of the dividends we distribute to shareholders who are taxed at individual rates will
generally be eligible for taxation at lower capital gains rates, rather than at ordinary income rates. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of U.S. Shareholders&#151;Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders&#151;Qualified Dividend Income.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, a taxable REIT subsidiary can perform impermissible tenant services without causing us to receive impermissible tenant services income under the
REIT income tests. However, several provisions applicable to the arrangements between us and our taxable REIT subsidiaries ensure that such taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income taxation. For
example, we will be obligated to pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments we receive from, or on certain expenses deducted by, or service income imputed to, our taxable REIT subsidiaries if the economic arrangements between us, our tenants and such
taxable REIT subsidiaries are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and any future taxable REIT subsidiaries acquired by us, may make payments to us and to third parties in connection with
activities related to our properties. There can be no assurance that the IRS might not seek to impose the 100% excise tax on a portion of payments received by us from, or expenses deducted by, or service income imputed to, our taxable REIT
subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed in greater detail below, in certain circumstances, we transfer to our taxable REIT subsidiaries homes or portfolios of homes
the sale of which may not qualify for the safe harbor for prohibited transactions. In connection with those transfers, any post-transfer operating income recognized by the applicable taxable REIT subsidiary in respect of such homes and any gain
recognized by the applicable taxable REIT subsidiary on a subsequent sale of such homes will be subject to a corporate level tax. In addition, if such homes are transferred by our operating partnership to one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-deferred</FONT> transaction under Section&nbsp;351 of the Code and there is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">built-in</FONT> loss in such homes, the applicable taxable REIT subsidiary would not recognize the <FONT

our properties and believe that we have not provided services at levels that will cause us to fail to meet the gross income tests. We provide services and may provide access to third party service providers at some or all of our properties. Based
upon our experience in the markets where the properties are located, we believe that all access to service providers and services provided to tenants by us (other than through a qualified independent contractor or a taxable REIT subsidiary) either
are usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental of real property and not otherwise considered rendered to the occupant, or, if considered impermissible services, will not result in an amount of impermissible tenant service income

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Interest Income.</I> Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% gross income test to the extent that the obligation
upon which such interest is paid is secured by a mortgage on real property or an interest in real property. Except as provided in the next sentence below, if we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real
property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will be
apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. In the case of real
estate mortgage loans that are secured by both real property and personal property, if the fair market value of such personal property does not exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all property securing the loan, then the personal property
securing the loan will be treated as real property for purposes of determining whether the interest income on such loan is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Code, if the terms of a loan are modified in a manner constituting a &#147;significant modification,&#148; such modification triggers a deemed

securing a loan for purposes of the gross income and asset tests in connection with a loan modification that is: (1)&nbsp;occasioned by a borrower default; or (2)&nbsp;made at a time when we reasonably believe that the modification to the loan will
substantially reduce a significant risk of default on the original loan. If we modify a mortgage loan in the future, no assurance can be provided that all of our loan modifications will qualify for the safe harbor in Revenue Procedure <FONT

where all or a portion of the amount of interest or rental income payable is contingent, such income generally will qualify for purposes of the gross income tests only if it is based upon the gross receipts or sales, and no part is based on the net
income or profits, of the borrower or lessee, a tenant or subtenant of the borrower or lessee, or any other person. However, this limitation does not apply where the borrower or lessee derives substantially all of its income from leasing
substantially all of its interest in the property to tenants or subtenants, to the extent that the rental income derived by the borrower or lessee, as the case may be, would qualify as rents from real property had we earned the income directly. </P>

generally will be qualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests if they are received in consideration for entering into an agreement to make a loan secured by real property and the fees are not determined by income and
profits. Other fees are not qualifying income for purposes of either the 75% or the 95% gross income tests. Any fees earned by a taxable REIT subsidiary will not be included for purposes of determining whether we have satisfied the gross income

dividends from such corporations to cause us to exceed the limit on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> income under the 75% gross income test. Dividends that we receive from other qualifying REITs will qualify for purposes of

to one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap or cap agreements, option agreements, and futures or forward contracts.
Income of a REIT, including income from a pass-through subsidiary, arising from &#147;clearly identified&#148; hedging transactions that are entered into to manage the risk of interest rate or price changes with respect to borrowings, including gain
from the disposition of such hedging transactions, to the extent the hedging transactions hedge indebtedness incurred, or to be incurred, by the REIT to acquire or carry real estate assets (each such hedge, a &#147;Borrowings Hedge&#148;), will not
be treated as gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, and will not be treated as gross income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Income of a REIT arising from hedging transactions that are entered into to manage the risk of
currency fluctuations with respect to our investments (each such hedge, a &#147;Currency Hedge&#148;) will not be treated as gross income for purposes of either the 95% gross income test or the 75% gross income test, provided that the transaction is
&#147;clearly identified.&#148; This exclusion from the 95% and 75% gross income tests also will apply if we previously entered into a Borrowings Hedge or a Currency Hedge, a portion of the hedged indebtedness or property is disposed of, and in
connection with such extinguishment or disposition we enter into a new &#147;clearly identified&#148; hedging transaction to offset the prior hedging position. In general, for a hedging transaction to be &#147;clearly identified,&#148; (1) it must
be identified as a hedging transaction before the end of the day on which it is acquired, originated, or entered into; and (2)&nbsp;the items of risks being hedged must be identified &#147;substantially contemporaneously&#148; with entering into the
hedging transaction (generally not more than 35 days after entering into the hedging transaction). To the extent that we hedge with other types of financial instruments or in other situations, the resultant income will be treated as income that does
not qualify under the 95% or 75% gross income tests unless the hedge meets certain requirements and we elect to integrate it with a specified asset and to treat the integrated position as a synthetic debt instrument. We intend to structure any
hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our qualification as a REIT but there can be no assurance we will be successful in this regard. </P>

customers in the ordinary course of business (commonly referred to as &#147;dealer property&#148;) including our share of any such gain realized by our operating partnership, either directly or through its subsidiary partnerships and limited
liability companies, will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. For purposes of determining the amount of income subject to the penalty tax, gains from sales of dealer property may not be offset by

supervision or control exercised by the taxpayer over any representative selling the property; and the time and effort the taxpayer habitually devotes to the sale. The frequency and substantiality of sales is often cited by the courts as the most
important objective factor in determining whether the taxpayer is engaged in the business of selling real estate to customers. The fact that the taxpayer holds some or even a substantial portion of its properties for lease and for long-term
investment (i.e., not as dealer property) does not necessarily preclude other properties from being viewed as dealer property if the specific facts and circumstances relating thereto indicate that such properties were acquired and held for sale to

preceding the sale are less than 30% of the net selling price of the property, and (iii)&nbsp;we either (a)&nbsp;have seven or fewer sales of property (excluding certain property obtained through foreclosure) for the year of sale, or (b)&nbsp;the
aggregate adjusted basis of property sold during the year is 10% or less of the aggregate adjusted basis of all of our assets as of the beginning of the taxable year, or (c)&nbsp;the fair market value of property sold during the year is 10% or less
of the aggregate fair market value of all of our assets as of the beginning of the taxable year, or (d)&nbsp;the aggregate adjusted basis of property sold during the year is 20% or less of the aggregate adjusted basis of all of our assets as of the
beginning of the taxable year and the aggregate adjusted basis of property sold during the three-year period ending with the year of sale is 10% or less of the aggregate tax basis of all of our assets as of the beginning of each of the three taxable
years ending with the year of sale, or (e)&nbsp;the fair market value of property sold during the year is 20% or less of the aggregate fair market value of all of our assets as of the beginning of the taxable year and the fair market value of
property sold during the three-year period ending with the year of sale is 10% or less of the aggregate fair market value of all of our assets as of the beginning of each of the three taxable years ending with the year of sale. If we rely on clauses
(b), (c), (d), or (e)&nbsp;in the preceding sentence, substantially all of the marketing and development expenditures with respect to the property sold must be made through an independent contractor from whom we derive no income or our taxable REIT
subsidiary. The sale of more than one property to one buyer as part of one transaction constitutes one sale for purposes of this &#147;safe harbor.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We structure our activities to avoid transactions that are prohibited transactions. However, the avoidance of prohibited transactions could cause us to
undertake fewer sales of property than we would otherwise undertake in order to maximize our profits. In addition, we may have to sell numerous properties to a single or a few purchasers, which could cause us to be less profitable than would be the
case if we sold properties on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">property-by-property</FONT></FONT> basis. In certain circumstances, we may transfer one or more homes or portfolio of homes to one of our taxable REIT
subsidiaries prior to marketing them for sale. In connection with those transfers, any post-transfer, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-sale</FONT> operating income and gain recognized by the applicable taxable REIT subsidiary on a subsequent
sale thereof will be subject to a corporate level income tax, as discussed above in &#147;&#151;Effect of Subsidiary Entities&#151;Ownership of Interests in Taxable REIT Subsidiaries,&#148; but generally should not be subject to the 100% penalty
tax. However, in the event that the IRS were to assert successfully that any such subsequent sale should be treated as having been made by the REIT (instead of our taxable REIT subsidiary), we could be subject to the penalty tax on gain recognized
on such sales if the homes are otherwise determined to have been held by the REIT as dealer property and the safe harbor does not apply. In addition, the extent to which we can transfer homes to a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to the constraint
that the aggregate value of the equity and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-mortgage</FONT> debt securities of all taxable REIT subsidiaries in which we hold an interest cannot exceed 20% of the Company&#146;s total assets at the end of any
calendar quarter. Further, because dividends that we receive from the applicable taxable REIT subsidiary constitute nonqualifying gross income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, we could be constrained in our ability to cause the applicable

Foreclosure property is real property and any personal property incident to such real property (1)&nbsp;that we acquire as the result of having bid on the property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced the property to ownership or possession

If these relief provisions are inapplicable to a particular set of circumstances, we will fail to qualify as a REIT. As discussed above, under &#147;&#151;Taxation of the Company as a REIT&#151;General,&#148; even if these relief provisions apply, a

adjusted, we will be required to pay tax on the undistributed amount at regular corporate tax rates. We believe that we have made, and we intend to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these annual distribution requirements.
In certain circumstances, we may elect to retain, rather than distribute, our net long-term capital gains and pay tax on such gains. In this case, we could elect for our shareholders to include their proportionate share of such undistributed
long-term capital gains in income, and to receive a corresponding federal income tax credit for their share of the federal income tax that we paid. Our shareholders would then increase their adjusted basis of their shares by the difference between
(1)&nbsp;the amounts of capital gain dividends that we designated and that they included in their taxable income, minus (2)&nbsp;the federal income tax that we paid on their behalf with respect to that income. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2022, we had a net operating loss carryforward from prior taxable years that is estimated to be $11.8&nbsp;million. That net operating
loss carryforward generally may be used to reduce our REIT taxable income to the extent that REIT taxable income is not reduced by our dividends paid deduction. If, in the future, we generate net operating losses, those net operating losses cannot
be carried back, but can be carried forward subject to a limitation equal to 80% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction). </P>

above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the
inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in arriving at our taxable income. If these timing differences occur, we may need to arrange for short-term, or possibly long-term, borrowings or need to pay dividends in the form of taxable dividends in
order to meet the distribution requirements. Under Revenue Procedure <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2017-45,</FONT> we are also permitted to qualify for the dividends paid deduction by paying dividends with up to 80% of the value in stock and at

regard to certain deductions, including those for net interest expense, and net operating loss carryforwards. If we or our subsidiaries, as applicable, are eligible to make and make a timely election (which is irrevocable), the 30% limitation does
not apply to a trade or business involving real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, rental, operation, acquisition, conversion, disposition, management, leasing or brokerage, within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;469(c)(7)(C) of the Code. If this election is made, certain depreciable real property (including certain improvements) held by the relevant trade or business must be depreciated under the alternative depreciation system under the Code,
which is generally less favorable than the generally applicable system of depreciation under the Code. If we do not make the election or if the election is determined not to be available with respect to all or certain of our business activities, the
interest deduction limitation could result in us having more REIT taxable income and thus increase the amount of distributions we must make to comply with the REIT requirements and avoid incurring corporate level tax. Similarly, the limitation could

that are made to our shareholders will not be deductible by us. As a result, our failure to qualify for taxation as a REIT would significantly reduce the cash available for distributions by us to our shareholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify

of the REIT asset tests, we include our pro rata share of assets, based on capital interests, of assets held by our operating partnership, including its share of its subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies. See
&#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#151;Effect of Subsidiary Entities&#151;Ownership of Interests in Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies.&#148; </P>

partnership and the subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies involve special tax considerations, including the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status of one or more of these entities as a partnership or disregarded
entity, and assert that such entity is an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If our operating partnership, or a subsidiary partnership or limited liability company, were treated as an association, it would be
taxable as a corporation and would be required to pay an entity-level tax on its income. In this situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income could change and could preclude us from satisfying the REIT asset tests and possibly
the REIT income tests. See &#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#151;Gross Income Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; This, in turn, would prevent us from qualifying as a REIT.
See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify as a REIT&#148; for a discussion of the effect of our failure to meet these tests for a taxable year. In addition, a change in our operating partnership&#146;s or a subsidiary partnership&#146;s or limited
liability company&#146;s status as a partnership for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax liability without any related cash distributions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe each of our operating partnership and our other partnerships and limited liability companies (other than our taxable REIT subsidiaries) is properly
treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations under Section&nbsp;7701 of the Code, a partnership is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless it
elects to be treated as a corporation or would be treated as a corporation because it is a &#147;publicly traded partnership.&#148; A &#147;publicly traded partnership&#148; is any partnership (i)&nbsp;the interests in which are traded on an
established securities market or (ii)&nbsp;the interests in which are readily tradable on a &#147;secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.&#148; </P>

right of a holder of OP units to redeem the units for Class&nbsp;A common shares could cause OP units to be considered readily tradable on the substantial equivalent of a secondary market. Under
the relevant Treasury Regulations, interests in a partnership will not be considered readily tradable on a secondary market or on the substantial equivalent of a secondary market if the partnership qualifies for specified &#147;safe harbors,&#148;
which are based on the specific facts and circumstances relating to the partnership. We and our operating partnership believe that our operating partnership has qualified and will qualify for at least one of these safe harbors at all times in the
foreseeable future. Our operating partnership cannot provide any assurance that it will continue to qualify for one of the safe harbors mentioned above. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If our operating partnership is a publicly traded partnership, it will be taxed as a corporation unless at least 90% of its gross income consists of
&#147;qualifying income&#148; under Section&nbsp;7704 of the Code. Qualifying income is generally real property rents and other types of passive income. We believe that our operating partnership has sufficient qualifying income so that it would be
taxed as a partnership, even if it were a publicly traded partnership. The income requirements applicable to us in order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code and the definition of qualifying income under the publicly traded partnership rules
are very similar. Although differences exist between these two income tests, we do not believe that these differences would cause our operating partnership not to satisfy the 90% gross income test applicable to publicly traded partnerships. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If our operating partnership were taxable as a corporation, most, if not all, of the tax consequences described herein would be inapplicable. In particular,
we would not qualify as a REIT because the value of our ownership interest in our operating partnership would exceed 5% of our assets and we would be considered to hold more than 10% of the voting securities (and more than 10% of the value of the
outstanding securities) of another corporation (see &#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#151;Asset Tests&#148; above). In this event, the value of our shares could be materially adversely affected (see &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The partnership agreement of our operating partnership generally provides that items of operating income and loss will be allocated to reflect the distribution
and liquidation preferences of certain holders of OP units, and then to the holders of units in proportion to the number of units held by each such unit holder. Certain limited partners may agree in the future to guarantee debt of our operating
partnership, either directly or indirectly through an agreement to make capital contributions to our operating partnership under limited circumstances. As a result of these guarantees or contribution agreements, such limited partners could under
limited circumstances be allocated net loss that would have otherwise been allocable to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an allocation of partnership income or loss does not
comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners&#146; interests in the partnership. This reallocation
will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. Our operating partnership&#146;s allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to
comply with the requirements of Section&nbsp;704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Tax Allocations with Respect to

contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership, must be allocated in a manner so that the contributing partner is charged with the unrealized gain or benefits from the unrealized loss associated with the property at the
time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value or book value and the adjusted tax basis of the property at the time of contribution. These allocations
are solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners. The partnership agreement requires that these allocations be made in a manner consistent with

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Treasury Regulations issued under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code provide partnerships with a choice of
several methods of accounting for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> differences. We and our operating partnership have used the &#147;traditional method&#148; for accounting for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT>
differences for properties contributed to our operating partnership. Under the traditional method, which is the least favorable method from our perspective, the carryover basis of contributed properties in the hands of our operating partnership
(i)&nbsp;may cause us to be allocated lower amounts of depreciation and other deductions for tax purposes than would be allocated to us if all contributed properties were to have a tax basis equal to their fair market value at the time of the
contribution and (ii)&nbsp;in the event of a sale of such properties, could cause us to be allocated taxable gain in excess of our corresponding economic or book gain (or taxable loss that is less than our economic or book loss) with respect to the
sale, with a corresponding benefit to the contributing partners. Therefore, the use of the traditional method could result in our having taxable income that is in excess of economic income and our cash distributions from our operating partnership.
This excess taxable income is sometimes referred to as &#147;phantom income&#148; and will be subject to the REIT distribution requirements described in &#147;&#151;Annual Distribution Requirements.&#148; Because we rely on our cash distributions
from our operating partnership to meet the REIT distribution requirements, the phantom income could adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements and cause our shareholders to recognize additional dividend income
without an increase in distributions. See &#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#148; and &#147;&#151;Requirements for Qualification as a REIT&#151;Annual Distribution Requirements.&#148; We and our operating partnership may use the
traditional method to account for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> differences for other properties acquired by our operating partnership in the future. Any property acquired by our operating partnership in a taxable transaction will

In general, a U.S. shareholder&#146;s adjusted basis will equal the U.S. shareholder&#146;s acquisition cost, increased by the excess for net capital gains deemed distributed to the U.S. shareholder (discussed above) less tax deemed paid on it and
reduced by returns on capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, capital gains recognized by individuals and other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S.
shareholders upon the sale or disposition of our shares will be subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 20%, if our shares are held for more than one year, and will be taxed at ordinary income rates (of up to 37%) if our shares are held
for one year or less. Gains recognized by U.S. shareholders that are corporations are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 21%, whether or not such gains are classified as long-term capital gains. The IRS has the authority to
prescribe, but has not yet prescribed, Treasury Regulations that would apply a capital gain tax rate of 25% (which is higher than the long-term capital gain tax rates for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. shareholders) to a
portion of capital gain realized by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. shareholder on the sale of our shares that would correspond to our &#147;unrecaptured Section&nbsp;1250 gain.&#148; U.S. shareholders should consult

individuals, who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year). Similarly, capital losses recognized by a U.S. shareholder upon the disposition of our shares that were held for one year or less at the time of disposition will be considered
short-term capital losses, and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the shareholder but not ordinary income (except in the case of individuals, who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year). In addition, any loss
upon a sale or exchange of our shares by a U.S. shareholder who has held the shares for six months or less, after applying holding period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of distributions that we make that are treated
by the U.S. shareholder as long-term capital gain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a shareholder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition of our shares in an amount that
exceeds a prescribed threshold, it is possible that the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving &#147;reportable transactions&#148; could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss-generating transaction to the IRS.
These regulations, though directed towards &#147;tax shelters,&#148; are broadly written, and may apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. The Code imposes significant penalties for failure to comply with these
requirements. U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of our shares, or transactions that we might undertake directly or indirectly. </P>

disposition) of our preferred shares or depositary shares to a holder of such shares can only be determined on the basis of the particular facts as to each holder at the time of redemption. In
general, a holder of our preferred shares or depositary shares will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount received by the holder of such shares upon the redemption and such holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in
the shares redeemed (provided the preferred shares are held as a capital asset) if such redemption (i)&nbsp;is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; with respect to the holder of the preferred shares under Section&nbsp;302(b)(1) of
the Code, (ii)&nbsp;is a &#147;substantially disproportionate&#148; redemption with respect to the shareholder under Section&nbsp;302(b)(2) of the Code, or (iii)&nbsp;results in a &#147;complete termination&#148; of the holder&#146;s interest in all
classes of our shares under Section&nbsp;302(b)(3) of the Code. In applying these tests, there must be taken into account not only any series or class of the shares being redeemed, but also such holder&#146;s ownership of other classes of our shares
and any options (including share purchase rights) to acquire any of the foregoing. The holder of our preferred shares or depositary shares also must take into account any such securities (including options) which are considered to be owned by such
holder by reason of the constructive ownership rules set forth in Sections 318 and 302(c) of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the holder of preferred shares or depositary
shares owns (actually or constructively) none of our voting shares, or owns an insubstantial amount of our voting shares, based upon current law, it is probable that the redemption of preferred shares from such a holder would be considered to be
&#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend.&#148; However, whether a distribution is &#147;not essentially equivalent to a dividend&#148; depends on all of the facts and circumstances, and a holder of our preferred shares or depositary shares
intending to rely on any of these tests at the time of redemption should consult its tax advisor to determine their application to its particular situation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Satisfaction of the &#147;substantially disproportionate&#148; and &#147;complete termination&#148; exceptions is dependent upon compliance with the
respective objective tests set forth in Section&nbsp;302(b)(2) and Section&nbsp;302(b)(3) of the Code. A distribution to a holder of preferred shares or depositary shares will be &#147;substantially disproportionate&#148; if the percentage of our
outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the shareholder immediately following the redemption of shares (treating preferred shares redeemed as not outstanding) is less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting shares
actually and constructively owned by the shareholder immediately before the redemption, and immediately following the redemption the shareholder actually and constructively owns less than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company.
Because the Company&#146;s preferred shares and depositary shares are nonvoting shares, a shareholder would have to reduce such holder&#146;s holdings (if any) in our classes of voting shares to satisfy this test. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the redemption does not meet any of the tests under Section&nbsp;302 of the Code, then the redemption proceeds received from our preferred shares or
depositary shares will be treated as a distribution on our shares as described under &#147;Taxation of U.S. Shareholders&#151;Taxation of Taxable U.S. Shareholders&#151;Distributions Generally.&#148; If the redemption of a holder&#146;s preferred
shares or depositary shares is taxed as a dividend, the adjusted basis of such holder&#146;s redeemed shares will be transferred to any other shares held by the holder. If the holder owns no other shares, under certain circumstances, such basis may
be transferred to a related person, or it may be lost entirely. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Conversion of Our Preferred Shares into Class</I><I></I><I>&nbsp;A Common Shares.</I>

the Class&nbsp;A common shares received upon conversion generally will be the same as those of the converted preferred shares (but the basis will be reduced by the portion of adjusted tax basis allocated to any fractional share of common stock
exchanged for cash). Any Class&nbsp;A common shares received in a conversion that is attributable to accumulated and unpaid dividends on the converted preferred shares will be treated as a distribution on our shares as described above in

exchange for such fractional share of common stock, and gain or loss will be recognized on the receipt of cash in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the adjusted tax basis allocable to the fractional share of
common stock deemed exchanged. This gain or loss will be long-term capital </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax
on dividends in respect of our shares if paid to a foreign entity unless: (i)&nbsp;the foreign entity is a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; that undertakes certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligations, or in
the case of a foreign financial institution that is a resident in a jurisdiction that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement to implement FATCA, the entity complies with the diligence and reporting requirements of such agreement,
(ii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is not a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; and either certifies it does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; (as defined in the Code) or identifies certain of its U.S. investors, or
(iii)&nbsp;the foreign entity otherwise is exempted under FATCA. Proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final
Treasury Regulations are issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If withholding is required under FATCA on a payment related to our shares, investors that otherwise would not be subject
to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of withholding) generally will be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction (provided that such benefit is available).
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of FATCA in their particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Taxation of Holders of Our

depositary shares representing preferred shares or common shares, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of the warrant will be equal to the sum of the holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the warrant and the exercise price paid. A
holder&#146;s holding period in the preferred shares, depositary shares representing preferred shares or common shares, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of the warrant will not include the period during which the warrant was held by
the holder. Upon the expiration of a warrant, a holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to his or her adjusted tax basis in the warrant. Upon the sale or exchange of a warrant to a person other than us, a holder will recognize gain
or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and the holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the warrant. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if
the warrant was held for more than one year. Upon the sale of the warrant to us, the IRS may argue that a holder should recognize ordinary income on the sale. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of a sale
of a warrant to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of a rights offering, the tax consequences of the receipt, expiration, and exercise of the rights we issue will be
addressed in detail in a prospectus supplement. Prospective investors should review the applicable prospectus supplement in connection with the ownership of any rights, and consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of investing in the
rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Treatment of Depositary Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Owners of
depositary shares will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if they are owners of the preferred shares represented by such depositary shares. Accordingly, such owners will be entitled to take into account, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, income and deductions to which they would be entitled if they were holders of such preferred shares. In addition, (i)&nbsp;no gain or loss will be recognized for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the withdrawal of preferred shares to
an exchange owner of depositary shares, (ii)&nbsp;the tax basis of each share of preferred stock to an exchanging owner of depositary shares will, upon such exchange, be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the depositary shares exchanged
therefor, and (iii)&nbsp;the holding period for preferred shares in the hands of an exchanging owner of depositary shares will include the period during which such person owned such depositary shares. </P>

these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer&#146;s treatment of the loss is proper. Investors should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual
circumstances. </P>
