Organization | NOTE 1: Organization Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on March 26, 2009. Our primary purposes are to acquire, own, operate, improve and manage multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of September 30, 2021, we owned and operated 57 multifamily apartment properties that contain 16,109 units across non-gateway U.S. markets including Atlanta, Dallas, Louisville, Memphis, Raleigh, and Tampa. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP (“IROP”), of which we are the sole general partner. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, IROP and their subsidiaries. Pending Merger On July 26, 2021, we, together with IROP, and IRSTAR Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRT (“IRT Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (“STAR”) and its operating partnership, Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“STAR OP”). On the terms, and subject to the conditions of, the Merger Agreement, STAR will merge with and into IRT Merger Sub (the “REIT Merger”), with IRT Merger Sub surviving the REIT Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRT; and immediately thereafter, STAR OP will merge with and into IROP (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the REIT Merger, the “Mergers”), with IROP surviving the Partnership Merger. In the REIT Merger, each outstanding share of STAR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“STAR common stock”) will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.905 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a newly issued share of IRT common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“IRT common stock”). In the Partnership Merger, each outstanding unit of limited partnership of STAR OP (each, a “STAR OP common unit”) will be converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio of a newly issued common unit of limited partnership of IROP (each, an “IROP common unit”). Consummation of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, receipt of IRT stockholder approval and STAR stockholder approval and we currently expect the Mergers to close in December 2021. In conjunction with the Mergers, we have incurred approximately $5,276 in merger-related transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The merger-related costs incurred to date primarily consist of advisory fees, attorney fees, accountant fees and SEC filing fees. These costs are presented in a separate line item on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
