AMERICAN CAMPUS COMMUNITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


1. Organization and Description of Business

American Campus Communities, Inc. and American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P.  Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “ACC” mean American Campus Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as(“ACC”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) underthat commenced operations effective with the Internal Revenue Code,completion of an initial public offering (“IPO”) on August 17, 2004, and references to “ACCOP” mean American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership.  References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP.  References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. The following chart illustrates the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s corporate structure:
companyflowchart3312017a04.jpg 
The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of September 30, 2017, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties.  As of September 30, 2017, ACC owned an approximate 99.2% limited partnership interest in ACCOP.  As the sole memberone of the general partnerlargest owners, managers, and developers of ACCOP,high quality student housing properties in the United States in terms of beds owned and under management.  ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management.  Management operatesis a fully integrated, self-managed, and self-administered equity REIT with expertise in the Companyacquisition, design, financing, development, construction management, leasing, and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of student housing properties.

ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and ACC contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to theAmerican Campus Communities Operating Partnership.Partnership LP (“ACCOP” or “the Operating Partnership”). In return for those contributions, ACC receives a number of units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units,” see definition below)Units”) equal to the number of common shares it has issued in the equity offering. Contributions of properties to the Company can be structured as tax-deferred transactions through the issuance of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. Based on the terms of ACCOP’s partnership agreement, OP Units can be exchanged for ACC’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company maintains a one-for-one relationship between the OP Units of the Operating Partnership issued to ACC and ACC Holdings and the common shares issued to the public. The Company believes that combining the reports on Form 10-Q of ACC and ACCOP into this single report provides the following benefits:
(1)enhances investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
(2)eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
(3)creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.


ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC essentially has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in ACCOP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. However, the Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the entities operate as a consolidated company. All of the Company’s property ownership, development and related business operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. ACC also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of ACCOP, as disclosed in this report. ACC does not have any indebtedness, as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity.  Except for the net proceeds from ACC’s equity offerings, which are contributed to the capital of ACCOP in exchange for OP Units on a one-for-one common share per OP Unit basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include, but are not limited to, the Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facility, the issuance of unsecured notes, and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.  Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity, and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements consist of the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated joint ventures. The noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level and OP Unit holders of the Operating Partnership. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. A single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership when applicable (for example, noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, earnings per share or unit, etc.).  A combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents discrete information related to each entity, as applicable. This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.
In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the Company operates its business through the Operating Partnership. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

1. Organization and Description of Business
American Campus Communities, Inc. (“ACC”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that commenced operations effective with the completion of an initial public offering (“IPO”) on August 17, 2004.  Through ACC’s controlling interest in American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. (“ACCOP”), ACC is one of the largest owners, managers and developers of high quality student housing properties in the United States in terms of beds owned and under management.  ACC is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity REIT with expertise in the acquisition, design, financing, development, construction management, leasing and management of student housing properties.  ACC’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “ACC.”
The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC.  As of September 30, 2017, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties.  As of September 30, 2017, ACC owned an approximate 99.2% limited partnership interest in ACCOP.  As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management.  Management operates ACC and ACCOP as one business.  The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP.  ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC does not have significant assets other than its investment in ACCOP.  Therefore, the assets and liabilities of ACC and ACCOP are the same on their respective financial statements.  Referencescommon shares issued to the “Company” means collectively ACC, ACCOPpublic.

As used in this report, unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “ACC,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean American Campus Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and those entities/its consolidated subsidiaries, owned or controlled by ACC and/orincluding ACCOP.  References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP.  Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both

As previously announced, on April 18, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership.Partnership entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Abacus Parent LLC (“Parent”), Abacus Merger Sub I LLC (“Merger Sub I”), and Abacus Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub II”). Parent, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II are affiliates of Blackstone Core+ perpetual capital vehicles, primarily comprised of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and Blackstone Property Partners. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub II will merge with and into the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Merger”), with the Operating Partnership being the surviving entity, and immediately following the consummation of the Partnership Merger, the Company shall merge with and into Merger Sub I (the “Company Merger”), with Merger Sub I being the surviving entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be acquired for $65.47 per share (the “Merger Consideration”) in an all-cash transaction. During the term of the Merger Agreement, the Company may not pay dividends except as necessary to preserve its tax status as a REIT, and any such dividends would result in an offsetting decrease to the Merger Consideration.

The Company Merger, Partnership Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Transactions”) are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s common stockholders. The Merger Transactions are expected to close during the third quarter of 2022. The Company can provide no assurances regarding whether the Merger Transactions will close as expected during the third quarter of 2022 or at all. The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, and has recommended approval of the merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, by the Company’s stockholders.
 
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company’s property portfolio contained 166 properties with approximately 102,500111,900 beds.  The Company’s property portfolio consisted of 130126 owned off-campus student housing properties that are in close proximity to colleges and universities, 3134 American Campus Equity (“ACE®ACE®”) properties operated under ground/facility leases, with 14 university systems and five6 on-campus participating properties (“OCPPs”) operated under ground/facility leases with the related university systems.  Of the 166 properties, 124 of 10 phases at 1 property were under development as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, and when completed will consist of a total of approximately 8,3003,700 beds.  The Company’s communities contain modern housing units and are supported by a resident assistant system and other student-oriented programming, with many offering resort-style amenities.

Through one of ACC’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), the Company also provides construction management and development services primarily for student housing properties owned by colleges and universities, charitable foundations, and others.  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, also through one of ACC’s TRSs, the Company provided third-party management and leasing services for 3836 properties that represented approximately 28,80028,400 beds.  Third-party management and leasing services are typically provided pursuant to management contracts that have initial terms that range from one year to five years.  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company’s total owned and third-party managed portfolio included 204202 properties with approximately 131,300140,300 beds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in U.S. dollars, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in the tables herein, except share per share, unit and per unitshare amounts, are stated in thousands unless otherwise indicated.

Principles of Consolidation


The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries and joint ventures (including partnerships and limited liability companies) over which it has control. Investments acquired or created are evaluated based on the accounting guidance relating to variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. If the investment is determined not to be a VIE, then the investment is evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest model.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2017,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12 (“ASU”) 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2017-12”), “Derivatives2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvementsother contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In March 2020, the Company elected to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition to that main objective, the amendments in this update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application ofapply the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The guidance is effectiveexpedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In May 2021, the Company elected to apply the contract modification expedient to contracts affected by reference rate reform. This expedient allows the Company to treat contract modifications related to reference rate reform as a modification without additional analysis, as long as there are no changes to contractual cash flows as a result of the beginningmodification. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currentlyguidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the process of assessing the effects of this ASU, but does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.market occur.

In February 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-05 (“ASU 2017-05”), “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The purpose of this ASU is to eliminate the diversity in practice in accounting for derecognition of a nonfinancial asset and in-substance nonfinancial assets (only when the asset or asset group does not meet the definition of a business or the transaction is not a sale to a customer). The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. This ASU is required to be adopted in conjunction with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-09, the new revenue recognition standard, which will be adopted as of January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of this ASU, application must be performed on a retrospective basis for each period presented in the Company’s financial statements or a retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company currently does not anticipate a material impact to its consolidated financial statements for property dispositions given the simplicity of the Company’s historical disposition transactions.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued an additional Accounting Standards Update clarifying aspects of the new lease accounting standard, which will be effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019. While the Company is still evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, it expects to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets related to ground leases under which it is the lessee.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”.  ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers (excluding certain contracts, such as lease contracts) to improve comparability within industries.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be paid in exchange for those goods and services and provide enhanced disclosures, all to provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued multiple Accounting Standards Updates clarifying multiple aspects of the new revenue recognition standard, which include the deferral of the effective date by one year.  ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent Accounting Standards Updates, is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be applied using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach upon adoption.

The Company plans to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2018 and is currently evaluating each of its revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition under the new standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, as a substantial portion of its revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09, and will be evaluated with the adoption of the lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02, discussed above. The Company anticipates the primary effects of the new standard will be associated with the Company’s non-leasing revenue streams, which represent less than 5% of consolidated total revenues.


In addition, the Company does not expect the following accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements:

Accounting Standards UpdateEffective Date
ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”January 1, 2023

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”), “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this guidance clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-01 will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring subsequent to January 1, 2017. Under the new standard, the Company expects that most property acquisitions will be accounted for as asset acquisitions, and as a result, most transaction costs will be capitalized rather than expensed. The impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the size and volume of future acquisition activity.

In addition, on January 1, 2017,2022, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:


ASU 2017-03,2020-06 “Accounting Changesfor Convertible Instruments and Error CorrectionsContracts in an Entity’s Own Equity"

The abatements allow for variable ground rent payments in lieu of fixed ground rent payments until the occupancy for the project, which is currently being developed, is stabilized. These concessions are recorded as a reduction to ground/facility leases expense, in accordance with the FASB Staff Question & Answer “Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” issued in 2020 and expenses duringare presented in the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.following table:

Consolidated VIEs

The Company has investments in various entities that qualify as VIEs for accounting purposes and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and therefore includes the entities in its consolidated financial statements.  These VIEs include ACCOP, 7 joint ventures that own a total of 13 operating properties and 2 land parcels, and 6 properties owned under the on-campus participating property (“OCPP”) structure.  The VIE assets and liabilities consolidated within the Company's assets and liabilities are disclosed at the bottom of the assets as follows:accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

25-34 years (shorter of useful life or respective lease term)
Furniture, fixtures and equipment3-7 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of an owned real estate project, which include interest, property taxes, and amortization of deferred finance costs, are capitalized as construction in progress.  Upon completion of the project, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation commences.  Interest totaling approximately $3.4 million and $3.3 million was capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and interest totaling approximately $13.5 million and $9.0 million was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Management assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of the Company’s investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, or when a property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, at which time an impairment charge is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the property over the expected net proceeds from the disposal. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the conditions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. The Company believes that thereIn the case of any impairment, the valuation would be based on Level 3 inputs. There were no impairment indicatorsimpairments of the carrying values of itsthe Company's investments in real estate as of September 30, 2017, other than a $15.3 million impairment charge recorded during the second quarter 2017 for one property that is in the process of being transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017 (see Note 7).March 31, 2022.


The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business under ASU 2017-01.  If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:

Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or
The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction).

Property acquisitions deemed to qualify as a business are accounted for as business combinations, and the related acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties acquired in business combinations to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on their fair values.  Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property, the Company’s own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio, and other market data.  Information obtained about each property as a result of due diligence, marketing and leasing activities is also considered.  The value allocated to land is generally based on the actual purchase price if acquired separately, or market research/comparables if acquired as part of an existing operating property.  The value allocated to building is based on the fair value determined on an “as-if vacant” basis, which is estimated using a replacement cost approach that relies upon assumptions that the Company believes are consistent with current market conditions for similar properties. The value allocated to furniture, fixtures, and equipment is based on an estimate of the fair value of the appliances and fixtures inside the units. The Company has determined these estimates are primarily based upon unobservable inputs and therefore are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Acquisitions of properties that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions.  The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business combinations except that the acquisition consideration (including transaction costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis.  The relative fair values used to allocate the cost of an asset acquisition are determined using the same methodologies and assumptions as those utilized to determine fair value in a business combination. 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests

The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB regarding the classification and measurement of redeemable securities. Under this guidance, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets, at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company makes this determination based on terms in the applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. The Company initially records the redeemable noncontrolling interests at fair value. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is subsequently adjusted to the redemption value (assuming the noncontrolling interest is redeemable at the balance sheet date), with the corresponding offset for changes in fair value recorded in additional paid in capital. Reductions in fair value are recorded only to the extent that the Company has previously recorded increases in fair value above the redeemable noncontrolling interests’ initial basis. As the changes in redemption value are based on fair value, there is no effect on the Company’s earnings per share. Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ACC are referred to as redeemable limited partners on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Refer to Note 9 for a more detailed discussion of redeemable noncontrolling interests for both ACC and the Operating Partnership.

Pre-development Expenditures

Pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects are expensed as incurred, until such time that management believes it is probable that the contract will be executed and/or construction will commence, at which time the Company capitalizes the costs.  Because the Company frequently incurs these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained, the Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations.  As such, management evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis and expenses any deferred costs related to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is unlikely and/or the costs may not provide future value to the Company in the form of revenues.  Such write-offs are included in third-party development and management services expenses (in the case of third-party development projects) or general and administrative expenses (in the case of owned development projects) on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company has deferred approximately $5.6 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.  Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

3. Earnings perPer Share – Company
 
Basic earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of American Campus Communities Operating PartnershipOP Units (“OP Units”) and common share awards granted.  Only those items having a dilutive impact on basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share.

The following potentially dilutive securities were outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effects of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Mortgage and Construction Loans Payable     

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid off approximately $30.5 million of fixed rate mortgage debt secured by one wholly-owned property. In the third quarter of 2017, as part of the Core Transaction discussed in detail in Note 3, Core JV I paid off $68.7 million of construction debt with proceeds from the Company's initial investment in the joint venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid off approximately $152.6 million of fixed rate mortgage debt secured by nine wholly-owned properties.

In May 2017, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Blanton Common, a wholly-owned property located near Valdosta State University which was acquired as part of the GMH student housing transaction in 2008, sent a formal notice of default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. The property generates insufficient cash flow to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $27.4 million at September 30, 2017 and a contractual maturity date of August 2017.  In May 2017, the lender began receiving the net operating cash flows of the property each month in lieu of scheduled monthly mortgage payments. In August 2017, the property transferred to receivership and a third-party manager began managing the property on behalf of the lender. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was cooperating with the lender to allow for a consensual foreclosure process upon which the property will be surrendered to the lender in satisfaction of the mortgage loan. As discussed in Note 2, in June 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge for this property of $15.3 million.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities.  The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  Forward starting swaps are used to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a forecasted issuance of debt. The effective portionThese agreements containprovisions such that if the Company defaults on any of changes inits indebtedness, regardless of whether the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair valuerepayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender or not, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not in default on any of its indebtedness or derivative instruments. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company is recognized directly in earnings.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swapsof March 31, 2022 and forward starting swaps, for nontrading purposes.  The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk arising from previously unhedged interest payments associated with variable rate debt and forward starting swaps to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on forecasted issuances of debt.  Through September 30, 2017, derivative financial instrumentsDecember 31, 2021. There were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges.  Derivative contracts with positive net fair values inclusive of net accrued interest receiptsno Level 1 or payments are recorded in other assets.  Derivative contracts with negative net fair values, inclusive of net accrued interest payments or receipts, are recorded in other liabilities.  The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative.  This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.  The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts).  The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contractsLevel 3 measurements for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting andperiods presented.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty.  However, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.  As a result, the Company has determined each of its derivative valuations in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The OP Unit component of redeemable noncontrolling interests has a redemption feature and is marked to its redemption value.  The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and therefore, is calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date.  Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, these instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

As discussed in Note 2 and Note 9, the redeemable noncontrolling interests related to the joint venture partners in the Core Transaction are marked to their redemption value at each balance sheet date.  The redemption value is based on the fair value of the underlying properties held by the joint ventures.  This analysis incorporates information obtained from a number of sources, including the Company’s analysis of comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio, estimations of net operating results of the properties, capitalization rates, discount rates, and other market data. The Company has determined these estimates are primarily based upon unobservable inputs and therefore are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Student Contracts Receivable, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities:  The Company estimates that the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Loans Receivable:  The fair value of loans receivable is based on a discounted cash flow analysis consisting of scheduled cash flows and discount rate estimates to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use.  These financial instruments utilize Level 3 inputs.
Mortgage Loans Payable: The fair value of mortgage loans payable is based on the present value of the cash flows at current market interest rates through maturity.  The Company has concluded the fair value of these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs as the majority of the inputs used to value these instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bonds Payable: The fair value of bonds payable is based on quoted prices in markets that are not active due to the unique characteristics of these financial instruments; as such, the Company has concluded the inputs used to measure fair value fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

13.11. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Construction Contracts: As of September 30, 2017, excluding four properties under construction and subject to presale arrangements which are being funded by construction loans,March 31, 2022, the Company estimates additional costs to complete eight wholly-owned1 owned development projectsproject under construction to be approximately $383.6$27.2 million.


Charitable Donation: In connection with the ACC / HS Joint Ventures: Venture Transaction in December 2021, the Company committed to donate $5.0 million to Arizona State University for scholarships, programs that support student success, and sustainability.

the purchase price, elected upgrades, and capitalized transaction costs. The Company is obligated to purchase the property as long as certain construction completion deadlines and other closing conditions are met.

The Company expects to fund the commitments mentioned above through a combination of proceeds from cash flows generated from operations, anticipated property dispositions, joint venture activity, and a combination of debt and equity transactions, which may include net proceeds from the ATM Equity Program discussed in Note 8, borrowings under the Company’s existing unsecured credit facilities, and accessing the unsecured bond market.

Development-related Guarantees: For certain of its third-party development projects, the Company commonly provides alternate housing and project cost guarantees, subject to force majeure. These guarantees are typically limited, on an aggregate basis, to the amount of the projects’ related development fees or a contractually agreed-upon maximum exposure amount.  Alternate housing guarantees generally require the Company to provide substitute living quarters and transportation for students to and from the university if the project is not complete by an agreed-upon completion date. These guarantees typically expire at the later of five days after completion of the project or once the Company has moved all students from the substitute living quarters into the project.

Under project cost guarantees, the Company is responsible for the construction cost of a project in excess of an approved budget. The budget consists primarily of costs included in the general contractors’ guaranteed maximum price contract (“GMP”). In most cases, the GMP obligates the general contractor, subject to force majeure and approved change orders, to provide completion date guarantees and to cover cost overruns and liquidated damages. In order to mitigate risk due to change orders, all final development budgets also include a contingency line item. In addition, the GMP is typicallyin certain cases secured with payment and performance bonds. Project cost guarantees expire upon completion of certain developer obligations, which are normally satisfied within one year after completion of the project. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure amount under the above guarantees iswas approximately $4.0$24.4 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, management diddoes not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to third-party development projects currently in progress.

As a part of the normal course of business,development agreement with Walt Disney World® Resort, the Company enters into various development-related purchase commitments with parties that provide development-related goodshas guaranteed the completion of construction of a $614.6 million project to be delivered in phases from 2020 to 2023. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has completed construction on 6 full phases and services.1 partial phase of the 10-phase project within the targeted delivery timeline. In addition, the Company is subject to a development guarantee in the event that the substantial completion of a project phase is delayed beyond its respective targeted delivery date, except in circumstances resulting in unavoidable delays. The agreement dictates that the Company shall pay damages of $20 per bed for each day of delay for any Disney College Internship Program participant who was either scheduled to terminate development services priorlive in the delayed phase as well as any participant who was not able to participate in the program due to the completionlack of projects under construction,available housing and would have otherwise been housed in the delayed phase. Under the agreement, the maximum exposure related to the Disney project assuming all remaining beds are not delivered on their respective delivery date is approximately $0.1 million per day. The Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding purchase orders with such parties.   anticipates completing all remaining phases within the targeted delivery timeline.


Conveyance to University: In August 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to convey fee interest in a parcel of land, on which one of the Company’s student housing properties resides (University Crossings), to Drexel University (the “University”). Concurrent with the land conveyance, the Company as lessee entered into a ground lease agreement with the University as lessor for an initial term of 40 years, with three3 10-year extensions, at the Company’s option. The Company also agreed to convey the building and improvements to the University at an undetermined date in the future and to pay real estate transfer taxes not to exceed $2.4 million. The Company paid approximately $0.6 million in real estate transfer taxes upon the conveyance of land to the University, leaving approximately $1.8 million to be paid by the Company upon the transfer of the building and improvements.


ContingenciesOther Guarantees: In June 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to buy a land parcel initially scheduled to close on or before June 30, 2021, with potential extensions at the Company’s option to June 1, 2022 or June 1, 2023. In February 2021, the Company provided notice in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement and elected to extend the scheduled close date to June 1, 2022.  In connection with the execution of the agreement and the closing extension, the Company has made earnest money deposits totaling $2.4 million which are included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As a part of the agreement, within 60 days of certain conditions not being met, the seller of the property can either terminate the agreement or exercise an option to require the Company to purchase the undeveloped land, with the Company retaining all rights to fully own, develop, and utilize the land. If the option is exercised, the Company must pay the agreed upon purchase price of $28.7 million, a commission calculated as a percentage of the sales price, and demolition costs.

Pre-development expenditures: The Company incurs pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits, and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects.  The Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot be arranged or the Company is unable to obtain the required permits and authorizations for the project.  As such, management periodically evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction and expenses any deferred costs related to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is unlikely and/or the costs may not provide future value to the Company in the form of revenues. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has deferred approximately $24.6 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.  Such costs are net of any contractual arrangements through which the Company could be reimbursed by another party. Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation: The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings, as well as other matters that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.  However, the outcome of claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty.  Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, the ultimate results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty.
Letters of Intent:  In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures.  Such letters of intent are non-binding (except with regard to exclusivity and confidentiality), and neither party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties.  Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the acquisition and disposition of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate that such contracts will provide the acquirer with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the acquirer will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any material deposit or earnest money.  There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or that the Company will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract.  Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed.  Once the due diligence period expires, the Company is then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to

When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” ���project,“project,” “should,” “will,” “result”“result,” and similar expressions, do not relate solely to historical matters and are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and will be impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements.

Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: general risks affecting the real estate industry; risks associated with changes in University admission or housing policies; risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments; failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction; risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, volatility in capital and credit markets, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets; costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws; potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; risks associated with our Company’s potential failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; risks related to the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic, risks associated with the Merger, including our ability to consummate the Merger Transactions on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to securing the necessary stockholder approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the Merger Transactions and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, and the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” contained in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021 and Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and subsequent reports we file with the SEC.

Same Store Properties:  The increase in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to an increase in average rental rates for the 2017/2018 academic year, partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average occupancy from 92.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 91.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2017/2018 academic year and our ability to obtain appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy for the 2018/2019 academic year at our various properties.
The increase in operating expenses from our same store properties was primarily due to: (i) an increase in repairs and maintenance expense of approximately $1.9 million related to cleanup and repairs for water intrusion, roofing, and landscaping at the Company’s communities located in Florida and Texas, as a result of hurricanes Harvey and Irma; (ii) an increase in property taxes and related consulting fees due to increased property tax assessments in various markets; and (iii) other general inflationary factors. We anticipate that operating expenses for our same store property portfolio for 2017 will increase as compared to 2016 as a result of the reasons discussed above.

The James is a property held by a joint venture formed as part of the Core Transaction. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue increased by approximately $2.8 million, from $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  This increase was due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction of a fourth phase at the University of California, Irvine during the third quarter 2017.  This project contributed approximately $2.9 million in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Development services revenues are dependent on our ability to successfully be awarded such projects, the amount of the contractual fee related to the project and the timing and completion of the development and construction of the project. In addition, to the extent projects are completed under budget, we may be entitled to a portion of such savings, which are recognized as revenue when performance has been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been verified by an independent third-party. It is possible that projects for which we have deferred pre-development costs will not close and that we will not be reimbursed for such costs. The pre-development costs associated therewith will ordinarily be charged against income for the then-current period. We anticipate third-party development services revenue to increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 as a result of the closing and commencement of construction of additional anticipated third-party development projects. However, the commencement of such projects is highly dependent on final determination of feasibility, negotiation, procurement rules and other applicable law, fluctuations in the construction and financing markets, and the availability of project financing.


Third-Party Development and Management Services Expenses

Third-party development and management services expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million, from $3.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was due to an increase in payroll and other administrative costs related to corporate management and oversight, an increase in the level of pursuits of potential on-campus development projects, and general inflation. We anticipate third-party development and management services expenses will increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 for the reasons discussed above.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.3 million, from $5.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to the following: (i) $2.9 million of transaction costs incurred in connection with our initial investment in the Core Transaction in August 2017; (ii) increases in travel and related pursuit costs of potential acquisition transactions; (iii) additional expenses incurred in connection with enhancements to our operating systems platform; and (iv) other general inflationary factors. We anticipate general and administrative expenses will increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 for the reasons discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $9.0 million, from $52.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $61.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  This increase was primarily due to the following: (i) a $4.8 million increase related to the completion of construction and opening of seven owned development properties in August and September of 2016 and ten owned development properties in August 2017; (ii) a $3.8 million increase due to property acquisition activity during 2016 and 2017; and (iii) a $2.4 million increase in depreciation expense at our same store properties due to capital improvement projects at various properties. These increases were partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to properties sold in 2016 and 2017. We anticipate depreciation and amortization expense to increase in 2017 as compared to 2016 for the reasons discussed above.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $0.3 million, from $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to ACE development projects that completed construction and opened for operations in Fall 2016 and 2017. We anticipate ground/facility leases expense to increase for the full year 2017 as compared to 2016 for the reasons discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million, from $19.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Interest expense decreased as a result of the following: (i) a decrease of approximately $2.2 million related to the disposition of properties with outstanding mortgage debt during 2016; (ii) a decrease of approximately $0.9 million due to the pay-off of $200 million of our $350 million term loan facility (“Term Loan I Facility”) in November 2016; (iii) a $0.5 million decrease related to the pay-off of mortgage loans during 2016; and (iv) a $0.2 million decrease related to lower outstanding balances on our mortgage debt due to continued scheduled principal payments. These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $1.7 million increase related to increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility; (ii) an increase of approximately $1.4 million related to the closings of our $300 million term loan facility (“Term Loan III Facility”) in September 2017 and our $200 million term loan (the “New Term Loan II Facility”) in June 2017; and (iii) an increase of $0.4 million in interest related to the property in receivership incurred while working with the lender to finalize the transfer of the property in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan.

We anticipate interest expense will decrease in 2017 as compared to 2016 due to the pay-off of mortgage debt in 2016 and 2017, the disposition of properties with outstanding mortgage debt during 2016, and the 2016 pay-off of $200 million of the Term Loan I Facility. These decreases will be offset by an increase in borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility to fund its development pipeline, an increase related to the closings of the New Term Loan II Facility in June 2017, the Term Loan III Facility in September 2017, and additional interest incurred from the $400 million offering of unsecured notes in October 2017.

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $9.9$2.5 million, from $159.5$68.1 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2021, to $169.4$70.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.  ThisMarch 31, 2022.  The increase was primarily due to the following: (i) a $10.7$2.1 million increase in depreciation expense related to the completion of construction and opening of seven owned development properties in Augustphases IV- VIIA of the Disney College Program during 2021 and September of 2016 and ten owned development properties in August 2017; (ii) a $7.0 million increase due to property acquisition activity during 2016 and 2017; (iii) a $4.9 million increase in depreciation expense at our same store properties due to capital improvement projects at various properties; and (iv) a $0.2 million increase in depreciation of corporate assets. These increases were partially offset by a $13.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to properties sold in 2016 and 2017.2022.


Ground/Facility Leases


Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $0.5$2.9 million, from $6.7$3.2 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2021, to $7.2$6.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017. ThisMarch 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the same factors that contributed toadditional expense incurred at our Disney College Program Project as a result of the increasereinstatement of the Disney College Program in ground/facility leaseMay 2021 and the continued delivery of phases of the project during 2021 and 2022.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as discussed above.March 31, 2021, represent $1.2 million of expenses incurred in relation to a litigation settlement.


Provision for Real Estate Impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $15.3 million for one wholly-owned property currently in receivership that is in the process of being transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.


Interest Expense


Interest expense decreasedincreased by approximately $13.9$1.1 million, from $61.8$29.0 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2021, to $47.9$30.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017. Interest expense decreased as a resultMarch 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $2.3 million of the following: (i) a decrease of approximately $7.4 millionadditional interest incurred related to the dispositionour offering of properties with outstanding mortgage debt during 2016; (ii)unsecured notes in October 2021 and a $4.6$0.9 million increasedecrease in capitalized interest due to the timing and volumedelivery of construction activitiesphases IV - VIIA of the Disney College Program. These items were offset by a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on our owned development projectsrevolving credit facility, as there was no outstanding balance during the comparable nine month periods; (iii)three months ended March 31, 2022, and a $3.5$0.8 million decrease relateddue to the pay-off of mortgage loans during 2016;debt in 2021.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents consolidated joint venture partners’ share of net income and (iv) a decrease of approximately $3.6net income allocable to OP unitholders. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $3.1 million, from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to the pay-offclosing of our $250 million term loan facility (“Term Loan II Facility”) in February 2016 and the pay-off of a portion of the Term Loan I Facility in November 2016. These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $3.6 million increase in interest expense related to increased borrowingsan additional joint venture transaction on our revolving credit facility; and (ii) a $1.4 million increase in interest related to closings of our Term Loan III Facility in September 2017 and our New Term Loan II Facility in June 2017.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased by approximately $2.0 million, from $5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily due to $1.1 million of accelerated amortization related to the pay-off of our Term Loan II Facility in February 2016, $0.6 million related to the pay-off of a portion of the Term Loan I Facility in November 2016, and $0.3 million related to properties with mortgage debt sold in 2016. We anticipate amortization of deferred finance costs will decrease in 2017 for the reasons discussed above, offset by increases related to the New Term Loan II and Term Loan III facilities, and the offering of unsecured notes in October 2017.

(Loss) Gain from Disposition of Real Estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold one wholly-owned property containing 657 beds, resulting in a net loss from disposition of real estate of approximately $0.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold two wholly-owned properties containing 1,324 beds, resulting in a net gain from disposition of real estate of approximately $17.4 million. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1.

Until the Merger Transactions close, or the Merger Agreement is terminated, our liquidity requirements will primarily be funded by our cash flow from operations and certain other capital activities allowed under the Merger Agreement. In particular, we are subject to various restrictions under the Merger Agreement on raising additional capital, assuming additional debt, issuing additional equity or debt, repurchasing equity, paying dividends, utilizing our revolving credit facility, and entering into certain acquisition and disposition transactions, among other restrictions.

Liquidity Needs, Sources, and Uses of Capital

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, our short-term liquidity needs included, but were not limited to, the following:

(i) the pay-off of $300 million related to our Term Loan III Facility due to mature in September 2018; (ii) anticipated distribution payments to our common and restricted stockholders totaling approximately $241.5 million based on an assumed annual cash distribution of $1.76 per share and based on the number of our shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017; (iii) anticipated distribution payments to our Operating Partnership unitholders totaling approximately $1.9 million based on an assumed annual distribution of $1.76 per common unit and a cumulative preferential per annum cash distribution rate of 5.99% on our Preferred OP Units based on the number of units outstanding as of September 30, 2017; (iv) the pay-off of approximately $35.5 million of outstanding fixed rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature during the next 12 months; (v) estimated development costs over the next 12 months totaling approximately $319.8$23.9 million for our wholly-owned propertiesowned property currently under construction; (vi) a $42.6

(iii)potential future developments, property, or land acquisitions, including mezzanine financed developments.acquisitions; and
(iv)recurring capital expenditures.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements by:

(i)utilizing current cash on hand and net cash provided by (i) operations;
(ii)borrowing under our existing unsecured credit facility; (ii) Credit Facility, which had availability of $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2022;
(iii)accessing the unsecured bond market; (iii)
(iv)exercising debt extension options to the extent they are available; (iv)

(vi)potentially disposing of properties and/or entering intoselling ownership interests in existing properties through joint venture arrangements, depending on market conditions; and (vi) utilizing current cash on hand and net cash provided by operations. conditions.

Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the real estate industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the perception of lenders regarding our long or short-term financial prospects.

In January 2017, the Company amended and expanded its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing the facility size to $700 million and extending the maturity date to March 2022. The amended facility has an accordion feature that allows the Company to expand the facility by up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Borrowing rates under the credit facility float at a margin over LIBOR plus an annual facility fee with spreads reflecting current market terms which are more favorable than those contained in the prior facility. Both the margin and the facility fee are priced on a grid that is tied to the Company’s credit rating. Based on the Company’s current Baa2/BBB rating, the annual facility fee is 20 basis points and the LIBOR margin is 100 basis points, a reduction of 10 basis points from the prior facility.

In June 2017, the Company entered into a New Term Loan II Facility totaling $200 million which will mature in June 2022. The agreement has an accordion feature that allows the Company to expand the amount by up to an additional $100 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Borrowing rates under this agreement float at a margin over LIBOR and the margin is priced on a grid that is tied to the Company’s credit rating. Based on the Company’s current Baa2/BBB rating, the LIBOR margin is 110 basis points.

In September 2017, the Company entered into a Term Loan III Facility totaling $300 million which will mature in September 2018, and can be extended for two one-year periods at our option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The agreement has an accordion feature that allows the Company to expand the amount by up to an additional $100 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Borrowing rates under this agreement float at a margin over LIBOR and the margin is priced on a grid that is tied to the Company’s credit rating. Based on the Company’s current Baa2/BBB rating, the LIBOR margin is 110 basis points.
As discussed in Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, in May 2017, the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Blanton Common, a wholly-owned property located near Valdosta State University which was acquired as part of the GMH student housing transaction in 2008, sent a formal notice of default and initiated foreclosure proceedings. The property generated insufficient cash flow to cover the debt service on the $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the underlying property was in receivership and the Company was cooperating with the lender to allow for a consensual foreclosure process upon which the property will be surrendered to the lender in satisfaction of the mortgage loan.

As discussed in Note 15 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, in October 2017, we raised $395 million in net proceeds from an unsecured $400 million bond offering. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for potential repayment of other outstanding debt, to fund our development pipeline, for potential acquisitions of student housing properties and for general corporate purposes.


We may seek additional funds to undertake initiatives not contemplated by our business plan or to obtain additional cushion against possible shortfalls. We also may pursue additional financing as opportunities arise. Future financings may include a range of different sizes or types of financing, including the incurrence of additional secured debt and the sale of additional debt or equity securities. These funds may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing depends on several factors, including future market conditions, our success or lack of success in penetrating our markets, our future creditworthiness, and restrictions contained in agreements with our investors or lenders, including the restrictions contained in the agreements governing our unsecured credit facility and unsecured notes. These financings could increase our level of indebtedness or result in dilution to our equity holders.


The funding to meet short term liquidity needs may vary if the Merger Transactions close as expected. The Company is subject to various restrictions including equity issuances, other capital markets activities, borrowing on our Credit Facility, and sales of interests in certain projects into unconsolidated entities pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other restrictions.

Distributions

We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Distributions to common stockholders are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We may use borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility to fund distributions.  The Board of Directors considers a number of factors when determining distribution levels, including market factors and our Company’s performance in addition to REIT requirements.
On November 1, 2017, we declared a distribution per share of $0.44, which will be paid on November 27, 2017 to all common stockholders of record as of November 13, 2017.  At During the same time, the Operating Partnership will pay an equivalent amount per unit to holders of Common OP Units, as well as the quarterly cumulative preferential distribution to holders of Preferred OP Units.

Pre-Development Expenditures

Our third-party and owned development activities have historically required us to fund pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits.  The closing and/or commencement of construction of these development projects is subject to a number of risks such as our inability to obtain financing on favorable terms and delays or refusals in obtaining necessary zoning, land use, building, and other required governmental permits and authorizations  As such, we cannot always predict accurately the liquidity needs of these activities.  We frequently incur these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained.  Accordingly, we bear the riskterm of the loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or we are unableMerger Agreement, the Company may not pay dividends except as necessary to successfully obtainpreserve its tax status as a REIT, and any such dividends would result in an offsetting decrease to the required permits and authorizations.  Historically, our third-party and owned development projects have been successfully structured and financed; however, these developments have at times been delayed beyond the period initially scheduled, causing revenue to be recognized in later periods.  As of September 30, 2017, we have deferred approximately $5.6 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.Merger Consideration.

financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.

American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, LP (the “Subsidiary Issuer") has issued the unsecured notes described in the Unsecured Notes section of Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1. The unsecured notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, and the Subsidiary Issuer is 99.6% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are direct senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company from time to time outstanding. Furthermore, the Company’s guarantees will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, and any preferred equity of its subsidiaries (including the Operating Partnership and any entity the Company accounts for under the equity method of accounting). In addition, under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee, such as the guarantee provided by the Company, could be voided, and payment thereon could be required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor, under certain circumstances.

The terms of the unsecured notes include certain financial covenants that require the Operating Partnership to limit the amount of total debt and secured debt as a percentage of total asset value, as defined.  In addition, the Operating Partnership must maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered asset value to unsecured debt, as well as a minimum interest coverage level. As of March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with all such covenants.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)


The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results.  FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time.  Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions.  We therefore believe that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, among other items, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.  We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995December 2018 White Paper, (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
 
We also believe it is meaningful to present a measure we refer to as FFO-Modified or FFOM,(“FFOM”), which reflects certain adjustments related to the economic performance of our on-campus participating properties, and the elimination of property acquisition costs, contractual executive separation and retirement charges and other non-cash items, as we determine in good faith.faith, that do not reflect our core operations on a comparative basis. Under our

participating ground leases, we and the participating university systems each receive 50% of the properties’ net cash available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service (which includes significant amounts towards repayment of principal), and capital expenditures.  A substantial portion of our revenues attributable to these properties is reflective of cash that is required to be used for capital expenditures and for the amortization of applicable property indebtedness. These amounts do not increase our economic interest in these properties or otherwise benefit us since our interest in the properties terminates upon the repayment of the applicable property indebtedness.  Therefore, unlike the ownership of our wholly-ownedowned properties, the unique features of our ownership interest in our on-campus participating properties cause the value of these properties to diminish over time.  For example, since the ground/facility leases under which we operate the participating properties require the reinvestment from operations of specified amounts for capital expenditures and for the repayment of debt while our interest in these properties terminates upon the repayment of the debt, such capital expenditures do not increase the value of the property to us and mortgage debt amortization only increases the equity of the ground lessor. Accordingly, we believe it is meaningful to modify FFO to exclude the operations of our on-campus participating properties and to consider their impact on our performance by including only that portion of our revenues from those properties that are reflective of our share of net cash flow and the management fees that we receive, both of which increase and decrease with the operating performance of the properties.  This narrower measure of performance measures our profitability for these properties in a manner that is similar to the measure of
30


our profitability from our third-party services business where we similarly incur no initial or ongoing capital investment in a property and derive only consequential benefits from capital expenditures and debt amortization. We believe, however, that this narrower measure of performance is inappropriate in traditional real estate ownership structures where debt amortization and capital expenditures enhance the property owner’s long-term profitability from its investment.

Our FFOM may have limitations as an analytical tool because it reflects the contractual calculation of net cash flow from our on-campus participating properties, which is unique to us and is different from that of our owned off-campus properties.  Companies that are considered to be in our industry may not have similar ownership structures; and therefore, those companies may not calculate FFOM in the same manner that we do, or at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP and FFO results and using FFOM only supplementally.  Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties.  FFO and FFOM should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

Inflation
Inflation

Our student leases do not typically provide for rent escalations. However, they typically do not have terms that extend beyond 12 months. Accordingly, although on a short term basis we would be required to bear the impact of rising costs resulting from inflation, we have the opportunity to raise rental rates at least annually to offset such rising costs. However, a weak economic environment or declining student enrollment at our principal universities may limit our ability to raise rental rates.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements.  The majorityQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates.  Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our revolving credit facilities and variable rate construction loans and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows.   No material changes have occurred in relation to market risk since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.  While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

Refer to the Litigation section of Note 11 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for additional discussion.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were discussed in Part 1, Item 1A of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

The Merger Transactions may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all.

The completion of the Merger Transactions is subject to certain conditions, including (i) approval by our common stockholders; (ii) receipt by Parent and Merger Sub I of an opinion that we have been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, since the taxable year ended December 31, 2009; and (iii) other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. While it is currently anticipated that the Merger Transactions will be completed in the third quarter of 2022, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, development, or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied.

If the Merger Transactions are completed, our stockholders will forgo the opportunity to benefit from potential future appreciation in the value of the Company.

The Merger Agreement provides for the Company’s stockholders of record to receive cash consideration of $65.47 per share, without interest, upon closing of the Merger Transactions. If the Merger Transactions are consummated, stockholders will no longer hold interests in the Company and, therefore, will not be entitled to benefit from any potential future appreciation in the value of the Company. In the absence of the Merger Transactions, the Company could have various opportunities to enhance its value, including, but not limited to, entering into a transaction that values the shares of common stock higher than the value provided for in the Merger Agreement. Therefore, if the Merger Transactions are completed, stockholders will forgo future
33


appreciation, if any, in the value of the Company and the opportunity to participate in any other potential transactions that may have resulted in a higher price per share than the price to be paid in the Merger Transactions.

If the Merger Transactions are not consummated by October 18, 2022, or in certain other circumstances, either of us or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement.

We or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger Transactions have not been consummated by October 18, 2022. We or Parent also may terminate the Merger Agreement (i) by mutual written consent; (ii) if there is a final and non-appealable order permanently restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger Transactions; (iii) if our common stockholders fail to approve the Merger Transactions; (iv) if the other party has breached its representations or covenants in a way that would prevent satisfaction of a closing condition by October 18, 2022; (v) with respect to us, and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, in order to enter into certain superior proposals; or (vi) with respect to Parent, if our Board of Directors has made a change in its recommendation to our stockholders in accordance with the Merger Agreement that they vote in favor of the Merger Transactions.

The Merger Transactions may not be completed, which may adversely affect our business and could negatively affect our stock price.

If the Merger Transactions are not completed for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price of the common stock reflects positive market assumptions that the Merger Transactions will be completed and the related benefits will be realized. We may also be subject to additional risks if the Merger Transactions are not completed, including:

a.the requirement in the Merger Agreement that, under certain circumstances, we pay Parent a termination fee of $278 million, except that the termination fee will be $139 million if (1) a third party submits a Qualified Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) no later than May 18, 2022 and which the Board determines, no later than May 18, 2022, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (2) the Company terminates the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with such third party providing for the implementation of a Superior Proposal no later than May 28, 2022;
b.incurring substantial costs related to the Merger Transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, and integration costs that have already been incurred or will continue to be incurred until closing;
c.reputational harm including relationships with customers and business partners due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Merger Transactions; and
d.potential disruption to our business and distraction of our workforce and management team to pursue other opportunities that could be beneficial to the Company, in each case without realizing any of the benefits of having the Merger Transactions completed.

The pendency of the Merger Transactions could adversely affect our business and operations, including with customers, and may result in the departure of key personnel. In connection with the Merger Transactions, some of our university and business partners may delay or defer decisions or may end their relationships with us, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, and cash flows, regardless of whether the Merger Transactions are completed. In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the Merger Transactions to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions, and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial. Similarly, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following the Merger Transactions, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Merger Transactions.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of the Company or could result in a competing acquisition proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to solicit or negotiate any alternative acquisition proposal. With respect to any written, bona fide acquisition proposal that the Company receives, Parent generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to such proposal before the Company’s Board of Directors may withdraw or modify its recommendation to stockholders in response to such acquisition proposal or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition proposal. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances relating to an acquisition proposal, the
34


Company may be required to pay to Parent a termination fee of $278 million, except that the termination fee will be $139 million if (1) a third party submits a Qualified Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) no later than May 18, 2022 and which the Board determines, no later than May 18, 2022, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (2) the Company terminates the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with such third party providing for the implementation of a Superior Proposal no later than May 28, 2022.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Company’s business from considering or making a competing acquisition proposal, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash value than the market value proposed to be received or realized in the Merger Transactions, or might cause a potential competing acquirer to propose to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Restrictions on Dividends

During the term of the Merger Agreement, the Company may not pay dividends except as necessary to preserve its tax status as a REIT, and any such dividends would result in an offsetting decrease to the Merger Consideration.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Repurchases of Securities

None.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.
 
Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.
 
Item 5.  Other Information

None.
