Prior to the suspension, 2 classes of ~~$10.00 per share (with discounts~~common stock were available to ~~certain categories of purchasers~~purchase in the ~~primary offering) in both offerings. Our common stock has 2 classes,~~Offering, Class A and Class ~~T. The~~TX (previously designated Class T).

We also manage 20 properties for third parties, bringing the total number of multifamily apartment communities which we own interests in, invest, or manage to 55, representing 15,365 units in 13 states.

Merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. and Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP

On May 7, 2021, we completed our merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. ("CRII") (the "CRII Company Merger"), and the merger of CCOP with and into CROP (the “CROP Merger,” and together with the CRII Company Merger, the "CRII Merger") through a stock-for-stock and unit-for-unit transaction provided for pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 26, 2021 by ~~us.~~and among us, CCOP, Cottonwood Communities GP Subsidiary, LLC ("Merger Sub"), CRII and CROP.

At ~~September 30, 2020,~~the effective time of the CRII Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CRII’s common stock (the “CRII Common Stock”) converted into 2.015 shares of shares of our Class A common stock, each issued and outstanding share of Series 2016 preferred stock of CRII converted into 1 share of our newly designated Series 2016 preferred stock, and each issued and outstanding share of Series 2017 preferred stock of CRII converted into 1 share of our newly designated Series 2017 preferred stock.

At the effective time of the CROP Merger, each participating partnership unit of CROP (i.e., all CROP partnership units other than preferred units) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the CROP Merger split into 2.015 participating partnership units of CROP (the “CROP Unit Split”), whereupon (i) each issued and outstanding Series 2019 preferred unit of CCOP ("CCOP Series 2019 Preferred Stock") converted into 1 Series 2019 preferred unit of CROP, the terms of which mirrored the CCOP Series 2019 Preferred Stock, (ii) each issued and outstanding LTIP Unit of CCOP (the “CCOP LTIP Units”) was converted into the right to receive 1 LTIP Unit of CROP, the terms and conditions of which mirrored the CCOP LTIP Units, (iii) each issued and outstanding Special LTIP Unit of CCOP (the “CCOP Special LTIP Units”) converted into the right to receive 1 Special LTIP Unit of CROP, the terms and conditions of which mirrored the CCOP Special LTIP Units, and (iv) except as set forth above, each issued and outstanding general partner unit of CCOP and CCOP Common Unit converted into the right to receive 1 common limited partner unit of CROP (“CROP Common Unit”). After giving effect to the CROP Unit Split, each CROP Common Unit, general partner unit and LTIP unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding, and each CROP preferred unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding and continues to be held by the general partner, Merger Sub.

Upon consummation of the CRII Merger, the separate existence of CRII and CCOP ceased. The CRII Merger was intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

As a result of the CRII Merger, we ~~owned 2 multifamily apartment communities, 1~~acquired CRII’s property management business and its employees as well as the personnel who historically performed certain administrative and other services for us on behalf of CCA III, including legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology.

CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger

In addition to the CRII Merger that closed on May 7, 2021, on January 26, 2021, we entered into separate merger agreements to acquire each of Cottonwood Multifamily REIT I, Inc. ("CMRI") ("CMRI Merger") and Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc. ("CMRII") ("CMRII Merger") in stock-for-stock transactions. Each merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the ~~ongoing public health crisis~~Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger both closed on July 15, 2021. Each asset held by CMRI and CMRII were owned through joint ventures with CROP. As a result of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we did not experience significant disruptions in our operations from the COVID-19 pandemic; however we continue to closely monitor the impactconsummation of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic~~CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, our ownership interest in the properties held through joint ventures with CROP increased to 100% on ~~all aspects of our business, including how the pandemic will impact our tenants and multifamily communities.~~July 15, 2021.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2019~~2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Table of Contents

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, ~~2019~~2020 filed with the SEC.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries for which we have a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

5Some of our partially owned and unconsolidated properties are owned through a tenant in common (“TIC interest”) structure. TIC interests constitute separate and undivided interests in real property. TIC interests in properties for which we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting until we have acquired a 100% interest in the property.

~~Table~~

Certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit or change net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations by recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of ~~Contents~~

the acquisition date and expensing transaction costs. Differences between the transaction price and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are accounted for as goodwill, or conversely, as a gain on bargain purchase. Transaction costs are included within general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred.

Organization and Offering Costs

All organization and offering costs in connection with the ~~offering~~distribution of ~~our common stock are paid by~~Class A and Class TX shares in the primary portion of the Offering were the obligation of our advisor. We ~~will~~did not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering ~~costs. As of September 30, 2020, our advisor incurred approximately $13,341,000 in organizational~~costs, which totaled $14.1 million. Organization and offering costs ~~from~~in connection with the ~~issuance~~distribution of ~~common stock.~~our Class T, Class D and Class I shares will be paid by purchasers of the shares or borne by us.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of intangible assets acquired in connection with the CRII Merger, as well as receivables, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, equipment, related party notes, related party receivables and other assets.

Unsecured Promissory Notes

The 2017 and 2019 6% Notes and 2017 6.25% Notes are unsecured notes issued to investors outside of the United States. These unsecured promissory notes are described in Note 6. These instruments are similar in nature, have fixed interest rates and maturity dates, and are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Noncontrolling Interests

The portion of ownership interests in consolidated entities not held by CCI are reported as noncontrolling interests. Equity and net income (loss) attributable to CCI and to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the consolidated financial statements. Changes in noncontrolling ownership interests are accounted for as equity transactions.

Noncontrolling interest – limited partners – These noncontrolling interests represent ownership interest in CROP ("OP Units") not held by CCI, the general partner. Net income or loss is allocated to these limited partners of CROP based on their ownership percentage. Issuance of additional Common Stock or OP Units to limited partners changes the ownership interests of both CCI and the limited partners of CROP.

Consistent with the 1-for-one relationship between the OP Units issued to CCI, limited partners are attributed a share of net income or loss in CROP based on their weighted-average ownership interest in CROP during the period.

Table of Contents

Noncontrolling interest – partially owned entities – These noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests that are not held by us in consolidated entities. Net income (loss) is allocated to noncontrolling interests in partially owned entities based on ownership percentage in those entities.

Refer to Note 11 for more information on our noncontrolling interests.

CRII Merger

On May 7, 2021, we completed the CRII Merger, which was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Based on an evaluation of the relevant factors and the guidance in ASC 805, Cottonwood Communities Inc. was determined to be both the legal and accounting acquirer. In order to make this consideration, various factors have been analyzed including which entity issued its equity interests, relative voting rights, existence of noncontrolling interests, control of the board of directors, management composition, relative size, transaction initiation, operational structure, relative composition of employees, and other factors. The most significant factor identified was the relative voting rights, as CCI shareholders hold the majority of the controlling financial (voting) interests. CCI also initiated the transaction and was the entity issuing common equity interests in the merger.

The consideration given in exchange for CRII (in thousands, except share and unit data) is as follows:


CRII Common stock issued and outstanding	213,434
Exchange ratio	2.015
CCI common stock issued as consideration	430,070
CCI's estimated value per share as of May 7, 2021	$	10.83
Value of CCI common stock issued as consideration	$	4,658

Table of Contents

The allocation of the purchase price below requires significant judgment and represents management's best estimate of the fair value as of the acquisition date. Under ASC 805 we are allowed a measurement period to complete the accounting for the CRII Merger and to make adjustments if necessary. The following table shows the preliminary purchase price allocation of CRII's identifiable asset and liabilities assumed as of May 7, 2021 (in thousands):

Consolidated net assets acquired	589,593
Noncontrolling interests (3)	(584,934)
Net assets acquired	$	4,658

(1) Real estate assets acquired in connection with the CRII Merger include $33.2 million of intangible lease assets, which have a weighted-average amortization period of 0.5 years.
(2) Other assets includes $32.1 million of intangible assets from the CRII Merger. Of this amount, $8.0 million relates to a promote asset which was removed upon the closing of the CMRI and CMR II Mergers on July 15, 2021. The remaining $24.1 million of intangible assets have a weighted-average amortization period of 8.8 years, and include $22.2 million related to the acquisition of CRII's property management and ancillary businesses (with a weighted-average amortization period of 9.2 years) and $1.9 million related to acquired disposition fees on certain properties and promotes on development assets (with a weighted-average amortization period of 3.8 years).
(3) The fair value of noncontrolling interests is based on the fair value of assets and liabilities held by the noncontrolling interests at their ownership share. These values were determined using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, and include using replacement cost estimates less depreciation, discounted cash flows, market comparisons, and direct capitalization of net operating income.

As a result of the CRII Merger we consolidated 17 multifamily apartment communities and 4 development properties as well as added 6 multifamily apartment communities accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The revenue and net loss generated from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the CRII Merger since the May 7, 2021 acquisition date to June 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, related party payables, and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon settlement.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including:

•Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

•Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time);

•Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, ~~volatilities,~~volatility, default rates); and

•Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

~~LTIP Unit Awards~~

On March 25, 2020, we amended the agreement of our Operating Partnership effective February 1, 2020 to establish LTIP Units, a new series of partnership units, and to permit the admission of additional limited partners.

We also entered into LTIP Unit Award Agreements with certain executive officers and a person associated with the dealer manager for our Offering, awarding 12,438 time-based LTIP Units and a target total of 37,312 performance-based LTIP Units. The time-based LTIP Units vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% each on January 1 of the following years: 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The actual amount of each performance-based award is determined at the conclusion of the performance period, which is December 31, 2022 and will depend on the internal rate of return as defined in the award agreement. The earned performance-based LTIP Units will become fully vested on the first anniversary of the last day of the performance period, subject to continued employment with the advisor or its affiliates.

The number of units was awarded at the estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.00. Time based LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested, receive the same distribution per unit as common stockholders. Performance based LTIP units receive 10% of that amount per unit on the total target units during the performance period, whereupon the participant receives an additional grant of LTIP Units the equivalent of 90% of distributions that would have been paid on the earned units during the performance period. Share based compensation for these awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $22,000 and $49,000, respectively.

10. Related-Party Transactions

Asset Management Fee

Under the amended and restated advisory agreement entered May 7, 2021, CROP pays our advisor a monthly management fee equal to 0.0625% of GAV (gross asset value of CROP, calculated pursuant to our valuation guidelines and reflective of the ownership interest held by CROP in such gross assets), subject to a cap of 0.125% of net asset value of CROP. Prior to May 7, 2021, we paid our advisor an annual asset management fee in an amount equal to 1.25% per annum (paid monthly) of the gross book value of our assets as of the last day of the prior month.

Asset management fees to our advisor for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 were approximately $1.4 million and ~~2019 were $811,233 and $296,126,~~$681,000, respectively. Asset management fees to our advisor for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019 were $1,941,542 and $453,851, respectively. Asset management fees waived by our advisor during the three and nine months ended September 30,~~ 2020 were ~~$48,543~~approximately $2.3 million and ~~$188,333,~~$1.1 million, respectively. ~~There were $310,484 of asset management fees waived during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.~~

~~Acquisition expenses reimbursed~~Performance Participation Allocation

The Special Limited Partner, so long as the advisory agreement has not been terminated, holds a performance participation interest in CROP that entitles it to receive an allocation of CROP's total return to its capital account. Total return is defined as all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on the Participating Partnership units (all units in our ~~advisor~~Operating Partnership with the exception of preferred units) plus the change in the aggregate net asset value of such Participating Partnership units. Under the Operating Partnership agreement, the annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner only after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other unit holders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The allocation of the performance participation interest is ultimately determined at the end of each calendar year, accrues monthly and will be paid in cash or Class I units at the election of the Special Limited Partner after the completion of each calendar year.

We recognized $6.5 million of performance participation expense with the approval of the June 30, 2021 NAV, as the performance hurdle was achieved. CROP's operating partnership agreement was amended with the CRII Merger to provide for the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not significant, as we have generally incurred and paid such expenses directly.~~performance participation allocation.

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners

Common Limited OP Units and LTIP Units are CROP units not owned by CCI and collectively referred to as “Noncontrolling Interests – Limited Partners.”

Common Limited OP Units - Common Limited OP Units share in the profits, losses and cash distributions of CROP as defined in the partnership agreement, subject to certain special allocations and receive distributions equivalent to distributions declared to the holders of CCI common stock.

LTIP Units - Certain executives and key employees receive LTIP Units in CROP as equity incentive compensation. LTIP Units are a separate series of limited partnership units, which are convertible into Common Limited OP Units upon achieving certain time vesting and performance requirements. Unless otherwise provided, the time vesting LTIP Units (whether vested or unvested) entitle the holder to receive current distributions from CROP, and the performance LTIP Units (whether vested or unvested) entitle the holder to receive 10% of the current distributions from CROP during the applicable performance period. When the LTIP Units have vested and sufficient income has been allocated to the holder of the vested LTIP Units, the LTIP Units will automatically convert to Common Limited OP Units in CROP on a 1-for-one basis. LTIP Units constitute profits interests and have 0 voting rights in CROP.

In conjunction with the CRII Merger, 528,451 time vesting LTIP units were awarded to executives as retention grants. As of June 30, 2021, there were 661,391 unvested time LTIP awards and 430,851 unvested performance LTIP awards outstanding. Share-based compensation was $466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Share-based compensation was not significant during the same period in 2020. Total unrecognized compensation expense for LTIP Units at June 20, 2020 is $7.5 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis through June 2025.

Noncontrolling Interests - Partially Owned Entities

As of June 30, 2021, noncontrolling interests in entities not wholly owned by us ranged from 1% to 91%, with the average being 52%.

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and have determined there are none to be reported or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements other than those mentioned below.

~~Status~~Completion of the ~~Private Offering~~

As of November 10, 2020, we had sold 2,620,480 shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $26,088,409. In connection with the sale of these shares in the Private Offering, the Company paid aggregate selling commissions of $1,704,428CMRI Merger and ~~placement fees of $506,930.~~CMRII Merger

As a result of the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger our ownership interest in the properties held through joint ventures with CROP increased to 100%.

Pro forma revenues and earnings have not been presented as the initial accounting for the transaction is incomplete as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. We are in the process of assessing the fair value of the acquired tangible assets, liabilities assumed and any applicable intangible assets and liabilities for this business combination.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

On August 10, 2021, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price for such shares in effect on the distribution date. Shares will generally be sold at the prior month’s NAV per share of the class of share being purchased (which will be our most recently disclosed NAV per share at such time). We may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price) where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. However, our board of directors may determine, in its sole discretion, to designate certain distributions as ineligible for reinvestment through the distribution reinvestment plan, without notice to participants, without suspending the plan and without affecting the future operation of the plan with respect to participants. We will resume offering shares of our ~~Class T~~ common stock ~~in the Offering for aggregate gross offering proceeds of $117,566,430. Included in these amounts were 140,781 shares of common stock sold~~ pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan upon effectiveness of the ~~DRP Program~~post-effective no. 6 to the registration statement for ~~aggregate gross offering proceeds~~the Offering.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References herein to "Company," “we,” us,” and “our” refer to Cottonwood Communities, Inc. together with its subsidiaries. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). ~~Forward looking~~Forward-looking statements include statements about our business, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The following ~~are some~~is a summary of the principal risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and an investment in our common stock. You should interpret many of the risks identified in this summary as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and ~~uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:~~numerous adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic.

•~~We depend~~Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, the repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way for our stockholders to dispose of their shares. Our share repurchase program will provide stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our discretion. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase program if in its reasonable judgment it deems a suspension to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when a repurchase request would place an undue burden on our ~~advisor to identify suitable investments and to manage~~liquidity, adversely affect our ~~investments. There is no assurance~~operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company that ~~we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.~~would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer.

•~~We have~~The offering price and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally based on our prior month’s NAV (which will be our most recently disclosed NAV per share at such time) plus, in the case of our offering price, applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and are not based on any public trading market. In addition to being up to a month old when share purchases and repurchases take place, our NAV does not currently represent our enterprise value and may not accurately reflect the actual prices at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day, the value a third party would pay for all or substantially all of our shares, or the price that our shares would trade at on a national stock exchange. Furthermore, our board of directors may amend our NAV procedures from time to time. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.

•The amount of distributions we may make is uncertain. Our distributions may be paid ~~distributions~~ from sources such as borrowings, offering proceeds, advances or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements (which may ~~continue to fund distributions with offering proceeds.~~constitute a return of capital).

During the early stages of our operations, ~~these distributions~~it is likely that we will use sources of funds which may constitute a return of capital to fund distributions.

•In connection with our offerings, we incur fees and expenses, which decreases the amount of cash we have available for operations and new investments. In the future we may conduct other offerings of common stock (whether existing or new classes), preferred stock or of interests in our Operating Partnership. We may also amend the terms of our current offerings. We may structure or amend such offerings to attract institutional investors or other sources of capital.

•Our ability to raise money and achieve our investment objectives depends on the ability of the dealer manager to successfully market our offering. If we raise substantially less than the maximum offering amount, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of assets and the value of an investment in us may vary more widely with the performance of certain investments.

•We pay ~~certain~~substantial fees ~~and expenses~~ to our advisor and its affiliates. These fees increase the risk that you will not earn a profit on your investment. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length and therefore may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties.

Loans we obtain may be collateralized by some or all of our investments, which will put those investments at risk of forfeiture if we are unable to pay our debts. Principal and interest payments on these loans reduce the amount of money that would otherwise be available for other purposes.

•Volatility in the debt markets could affect our ability to obtain financing for investments or other activities related to real estate assets and the diversification or value of our portfolio, potentially reducing cash available for distribution to our stockholders or our ability to make investments. In addition, if any of the loans we obtain have variable interest rates, volatility in the debt markets could negatively impact such loans.

•There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.

Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth above, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overview

Cottonwood Communities, Inc. invests primarily in multifamily apartment communities and multifamily real estate-related assets throughout the United States. We seek to invest at least 65% of our assets in stabilized multifamily apartment communities and up to 35% in mortgage loans, preferred equity investments, mezzanine loans or equity investments in property or land which will be developed into a multifamily apartment community (including, by way of example, an existing multifamily apartment community that may require redevelopment capital for strategic repositioning within its market). Although this is our current target portfolio, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forego what we believe to be a good investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. With the CRII Merger recently consummated, we expect our board of directors to revisit our targeted portfolio allocation given the asset profile of the combined company.

~~Our investment objectives are to:~~

•~~preserve, protect and return invested capital;~~

•~~pay stable cash distributions to stockholders;~~

•~~realize capital appreciation~~We have registered $750.0 million in ~~the value~~shares of ~~our investments over the long term; and~~

•~~provide a real estate investment alternative with lower expected volatility relative to public real estate companies whose securities trade daily on a~~common stock ~~exchange.~~

~~On August 13, 2018, we commenced a best-efforts~~in an initial public offering (the "Offering") ~~that consists~~, consisting of ~~$750,000,000~~$675.0 million in shares of common stock ~~made up of $675,000,000~~offered in ~~shares through~~ our primary offering and ~~$75,000,000~~$75.0 million in shares of common stock through ~~the~~our distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP ~~Program"~~Offering”). The Offering commenced in August 2018 and was suspended starting in December 2020 while we pursued the mergers as described below. Prior to the suspension, two classes of

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~Merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. and ~~Multifamily Real Estate Outlook~~Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP

~~The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity~~On May 7, 2021, we completed our merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. ("CRII") (the "CRII Company Merger"), and ~~caused significant volatility~~the merger of CCOP with and ~~negative pressure in financial markets. The United States has reacted~~into CROP (the “CROP Merger,” and together with ~~various containment~~the CRII Company Merger, the "CRII Merger") through a stock-for-stock and mitigation efforts including quarantines, mandated business and school closures and travel restrictions. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting the real estate industry. The fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to preclude any prediction asunit-for-unit transaction provided for pursuant to the ~~ultimate adverse impact the pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results~~Agreement and Plan of ~~operations~~Merger dated January 26, 2021 by and ~~cash flows.~~among us, CCOP, Cottonwood Communities GP Subsidiary, LLC ("Merger Sub"), CRII and CROP.

and (iv) except as set forth above, each issued and outstanding general partner unit of CCOP and CCOP Common Unit converted into the right to receive one common limited partner unit of CROP (“CROP Common Unit”). After giving effect to the CROP Unit Split, each CROP Common Unit, general partner unit and LTIP unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding, and each CROP preferred unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CROP Merger remained outstanding and continues to be held by the general partner, Merger Sub.

Further, as a result of ~~job loss or reduced income~~the CRII Merger, we acquired CRII’s affiliate property manager and its employees, which currently manage approximately 13,000 units in stabilized assets, including approximately 7,300 for Cottonwood affiliates (including us), and a ~~small percent~~341 unit development project in the lease up stage. In addition, we acquired the personnel who have historically performed certain administrative and other services for us on behalf of CCA III, including legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology. As a result, we directly employ the individuals that perform the foregoing administrative services as well as property management services. CCA III continues to manage our operations as our external advisor pursuant to an amended and restated advisory agreement.

CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger

On January 26, 2021, we entered into separate agreements to acquire each of Cottonwood Multifamily REIT I, Inc. ("CMRI") ("CMRI Merger"), and Cottonwood Multifamily REIT II, Inc. ("CMRII") ("CMRII Merger"). These mergers are stock-for-stock transactions whereby CMRI and CMRII will be merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of us. Each merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the ~~multifamily tenants at~~Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The CMRI and CMRII Mergers were completed on July 15, 2021.

Net Asset Value

Our board of directors, including a majority of our ~~stabilized multifamily apartment communities have sought rent deferrals. Not all tenant requests~~independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our net asset value ("NAV"). Pursuant to these valuation procedures, we computed a June 30, 2021 NAV per share for our outstanding Class A and Class TX shares of $11.7865. We had no outstanding Class T, Class D or Class I shares as of June 30, 2021. Until we sell shares of these classes, we will ~~ultimately result in rent deferrals~~deem the NAV per share of these classes to be the NAV per share of our Class A and ~~rent deferrals to date have not had a significant impact~~Class TX shares.

We expect that generally, within 15 calendar days after the last calendar day of each month, we will determine and disclose our NAV per share for each share class as of the last calendar day of the prior month. This NAV will be posted when available on our ~~operations. To date,~~website at cottonwoodcommunities.com and in prospectus supplements or a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the ~~impact~~Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on June 8, 2021 and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, for a more detailed description of ~~COVID-19~~our valuation procedures, including important disclosures regarding real property valuations, debt-related asset valuations and property management business valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Advisor”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including our advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. As described in our valuation procedures, each real property is appraised by a third-party appraiser (the “Third-Party Appraisal Firm”) at least once per calendar year and reviewed by our advisor and the Independent Valuation Advisor. Additionally, the real property assets not appraised by the Third-Party Appraisal Firm in a given calendar month will be appraised for such calendar month by our Independent Valuation Advisor, and such appraisals are reviewed by our advisor.

CROP has certain classes or series of OP Units that are each economically equivalent to a corresponding class of shares. Accordingly, on ~~our stabilized multifamily apartment communities has been minimal. As~~the last day of each month, for such classes or series of OP Units, the NAV per OP Unit equals the NAV per share of the ~~end~~corresponding class. To the extent CROP has classes of ~~October 2020, we had received tenant payments equal~~units that do not correspond to ~~93.8%~~a class of our shares, such units will be valued in a manner consistent with our valuation procedures.

However, notwithstanding the challenging economic circumstances createdNAV per share/unit by the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe our focus on multifamily assets and the quality of the assets in our portfolio makes us better positioned relative to other classes of real estate to withstand many of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as housing is a basic need, rather than a discretionary expense. Further, we believe that factors impacting the prime United States renter demographic such as delayed major life decisions, increased levels of student debt and tight credit standards in the single-family home mortgage market continue to support the value proposition for owning multifamily apartment communities and related investments.

This constituted the remaining amount of our $9,900,000 commitment and as such, no additional funding was required subsequent to March 31, 2020.

On July 24, 2020, we and a publicly-traded multifamily REIT (the “Preferred Co-Investor”) made a preferred equity investment in an entity that is developing a three-building multifamily apartment communitychanges listed below would result in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York (the “Project”).

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We incurred net losses ~~were partially offset~~of $21.4 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily driven by ~~$708,067~~the CRII Merger, which closed on May 7, 2021. The results from the quarter include property operations for the CRII portfolio after the merger date as well as results from CRII's affiliate property management business and the performance participation allocation. As part of ~~equity~~the merger, we acquired the personnel who have historically performed certain administrative and other services for us. Now we directly employ the individuals that perform these services as well as property management services. Investing activity throughout 2020 as well as the CRII Merger in ~~earnings related~~the second quarter of 2021 increased gross assets, driving the increase in asset management fees and depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to ~~our Vernon Boulevard~~non-recurring legal, financial advisor, and ~~Lector85 investments~~other costs associated with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger. Interest expense increased due to mortgage interest on the assets acquired through the CRII Merger as well as other corporate debt acquired through the merger.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

We incurred net losses of $24.4 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily driven by the CRII Merger, which ~~were funded~~closed on May 7, 2021. The results from the most recent quarter include property operations for the CRII portfolio after ~~September~~the merger date as well as results from CRII's affiliate property management business and the performance participation allocation. As part of the merger, we acquired the personnel who have historically performed certain administrative and other services for us. Now we directly employ the individuals that perform these services as well as property management services. The change was also impacted by six months of activity from Cottonwood One Upland in the six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2021 period, compared to just over three months of activity during

the prior year equivalent period, as Cottonwood One Upland was acquired March 19, 2020. Investing activity throughout 2020 as well as the CRII Merger in the second quarter of 2021 increased gross assets, driving the increase in asset management fees and depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expenses also increased primarily due to non-recurring legal, financial advisor, and other costs associated with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger. Interest expense increased due to mortgage interest on the assets acquired through the CRII Merger as well as other corporate debt acquired through the merger.

We expect our results of operations in future periods will continue to fluctuate as we ~~continue to~~ deploy capital in strategic real estate investments. We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, and the results of our operations will be impacted by the timing of our acquisitions and the equity raised through our offerings. In addition, our results of operations have been significantly impacted in 2021 due to the significance of the CRII Merger to our portfolio. Accordingly, our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not directly comparable, nor are our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 indicative of those expected in future periods. We believe that our revenues, operating expenses and interest expense will continue to increase in future periods as a result of continued growth in our portfolio and as a result of the effect of anticipated future acquisitions of multifamily apartment communities and investments in multifamily real estate-related assets. Changes in occupancy, fluctuations due to changes in the variable interest rate on our ~~JP Morgan Credit Facility~~floating rate mortgages and our variable rate revolving credit facility and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above could also affect our operating ~~results~~

~~As of September 30, 2020, West Palm was occupied at a rate of 91.8% and One Upland was occupied at a rate of 93.9%.~~results.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a measure of the operating performance of a REIT and of our company. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for our share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Our management also uses Core FFO as a measure of our operating performance. Core FFO is further adjusted from FFO for the following items included in ~~the determination of~~ GAAP net income: amortization of issuance costs associated with ~~real estate note~~ investments in real-estate related loans and debt, accretion of discounts on preferred stock, the performance participation allocation, acquisition fees and expenses, and amortization of above or below intangible lease assets and liabilities. Our calculation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjusting for non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Policies Regarding Operating Expenses

~~Commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our~~Our advisor must reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2021, our total operating expenses exceeded the charter limitation.

Our conflicts committee determined that the relationship of our total operating expenses and its net assets was justified for the four fiscal quarters ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020~~2021 given the costs of operating a public company, ~~and~~ the early stage of our operations, and the costs of the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger. Accordingly, the conflicts committee approved total operating expenses in excess of the operating expense reimbursement obligation in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2020.~~2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for the acquisition of multifamily apartment communities and investments in multifamily real estate-related assets; operating expenses, including the management fee we pay to our advisor and the performance participation allocation, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; ~~redemptions~~repurchases of common and preferred stock; and payments of distributions to stockholders. We will obtain the capital required to purchase multifamily apartment communities and make investments in multifamily real estate-related assets and conduct our operations from the proceeds of the Private Offering, the Offering, from our credit facilities, other secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, and from any undistributed funds from our operations, all of which may be adversely ~~effected~~affected by the impact COVID-19.

We intend to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by continuing to focus on our core fundamentals at the property level. Factors which could increase or decrease our future liquidity include but are not limited to operating performance of the properties owned by our joint ventures, including the impact of COVID-19 ~~pandemic as discussed above.~~on the properties owned by the joint ventures, volatility in interest rates, and the satisfaction of REIT dividend requirements.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~had~~have $213.5 million of fixed rate debt including our Berkadia Credit Facility and $545.6 million of variable rate debt, including our JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility and including $80.8 million of variable rate debt related to construction loans; $440.8 million, or 80.8% of our variable rate debt is accompanied by interest rate cap hedging instruments as required by the lenders. In addition, CROP has issued unsecured promissory notes in several private placement offerings, in an aggregate amount of $48.6 million at June 30, 2021.

Regarding credit facilities, at June 30, 2021, we have the Berkadia Credit Facility, secured by Cottonwood West Palm, and the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility, secured by Cottonwood One Upland, for which we have advances of ~~$35,995,000~~approximately $36.0 million and ~~$48,500,000,~~$24.0 million, respectively. There is no limit on the amount that we can draw on the Berkadia Credit Facility so long as we maintain the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements as set forth in the loan documents. We may obtain advances secured against One Upland up to ~~$67,600,000~~$67.6 million on the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility, as well as finance other future acquisitions up to ~~$125,000,000.~~$125.0 million in total revolving debt capacity. We can draw upon or pay down ~~these credit facilities~~the JP Morgan Revolving Credit Facility at our discretion, subject to loan-to-value requirements, debt service coverage ratios and other covenants and restrictions as set forth in the loan documents.

We must also redeem the Series 2019 Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price per share equal to $10.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, to the extent there are funds legally available, on December 31, 2023. This date may be extended by two one-year extension options. In addition, we must also redeem the Series 2016 Preferred Stock and Series 2017 Preferred Stock issued in the CRII Merger for cash at a redemption price equal to $10.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the extent there are any funds legally available, on their respective redemption dates. The initial redemption date was January 31, 2021 for the Series 2016 Preferred Stock and it was extended to January 31, 2022 and may be extended for an additional one year. The redemption date for the Series 2017 Preferred Stock is January 31, 2022 and may be extended by two one-year extension options.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to pay offering costs in connection with the Private Offering and the Offering upon its resumption, as well as make certain payments to our advisor ~~and our affiliated property manager~~ pursuant to the terms of our advisory ~~and property~~ management ~~agreements.~~agreement.

~~We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019.~~ To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

(2) The allocation of total sources are calculated on a quarterly basis. Generally, for purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use positive cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior quarter to fund distribution payments. As such, amounts reflected above as distributions paid from cash flows provided by operations may be from a prior quarter which had positive cash flow from operations.

Generally, for purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior periods to fund distribution payments. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of real estate investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors will experience dilution. In addition, to the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operating activities, a stockholder's basis in our stock will be reduced and, to the extent distributions exceed a stockholder's basis, the stockholder may recognize capital gain.

We issued 10,995,210 shares of our Class A common stock upon the closing of the mergers. Each asset held by CMRI and ~~17,516 shares~~CMRII was owned through joint ventures with CROP. As a result of the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger our ~~Class T common stock~~ownership interest in the ~~Offering~~properties held through joint ventures with CROP increased to 100%.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The per share purchase price for shares ~~of common stock sold~~purchased pursuant to the ~~DRP Program~~distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price for ~~aggregate gross offering proceeds~~such shares in effect on the distribution date. Shares will generally be sold at the prior month’s NAV per share of ~~$1,407,811.~~the class of share being purchased (which will be our most recently disclosed NAV per share at such time). We may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price) where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. However, our board of directors may determine, in its sole discretion, to designate certain distributions as ineligible for reinvestment through the distribution reinvestment plan, without notice to participants, without suspending the plan and without affecting the future operation of the plan with respect to participants.

Item 5. Other Information

~~None~~Amended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan

On August 10, 2021, our board of directors adopted an amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan. Our distribution reinvestment plan allows stockholders to have their cash distributions attributable to the class of shares owned automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class. The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price for such shares in effect on the distribution date. Shares will generally be sold at the prior month’s NAV per share of the class of share being purchased (which will be our most recently disclosed NAV per share at such time). Although the price paid for shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will generally be based on the prior month’s NAV per share, the NAV per share of such stock as of the date on which the shares purchased is settled may be significantly different. We may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price) where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. However, our board of directors may determine, in its sole discretion, to designate certain distributions as ineligible for reinvestment through the distribution reinvestment plan, without notice to participants, without suspending the plan and without affecting the future operation of the plan with respect to participants.

Stockholders do not pay selling commissions or a dealer manager fees with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. However, the ongoing distribution fees with respect to Class T and Class D shares are allocated on a class-specific basis and borne by all shares of such class, including shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan with respect to such share classes. These class-specific fees may differ for each class, even when the NAV per share for each class is the same. Each class of shares may have a different NAV per share due to the allocation of distribution fees. We normally expect that the allocation of ongoing distribution fees on a class-specific basis will result in different amounts of distributions being paid to each of our share classes. However, if no distributions are authorized for a certain period, or if they are authorized in an amount less than the allocation of class-specific fees with respect to such period, then pursuant to our valuation guidelines, the class-specific fee allocations may lower the net asset value of our shares subject to a class specific expense.

Shares acquired under the distribution reinvestment plan entitle the participant to the same rights and will be treated in the same manner as shares of that class purchased in the primary offering.

Participants may terminate their participation in the distribution reinvestment plan at any time by delivering a written notice to us. Such notice must be received by us at least ten days prior to a distribution date in order for a participant’s termination to be effective for such distribution date. If we repurchase a portion of a participant’s shares, the participant’s participation in the distribution reinvestment plan with respect to the participant’s shares that were not repurchased will not be terminated unless the participant requests such termination pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon ten days’ notice to participants. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) in a separate mailing to the participants. A stockholder’s participation in the plan will be terminated to the extent that a reinvestment of such stockholder’s distributions in our shares would cause the percentage ownership or other limitations contained in our charter to be violated.

Multiple Class Plan

On August 10, 2021, our board of directors adopted a multiple class plan to set forth the method by which distributions among classes of common stock shall be determined relative to each other. Under our multiple class plan, distributions are made on all classes of our common stock at the same time. The per share amount of distributions on Class T, Class D, Class I, Class A and Class TX will not be identical because of class-specific distribution fees that will be deducted from the gross distributions for certain classes. We use the record share method of determining the per share amount of distributions on each class of shares, although our board of directors may choose other methods. The record share method is one of several

2339

Table of Contents

distribution calculation methods for multiple-class funds recommended, but not required, by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Under this method, the amount to be distributed on shares of our common stock is increased by the sum of all class-specific fees accrued for such period. Such amount is divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date. Such per share amount is reduced for each class of common stock by the per share amount of any class-specific fees allocable to such class.

Articles Supplementary

On August 11, 2021, we filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (“SDAT”) articles supplementary to our Articles of Amendment and Restatement that provided for: (i) reclassifying the existing 275,000,000 shares of Class D common stock as unclassified and unissued shares of common stock; (ii) reclassifying and designating 275,000,000 shares of our authorized common stock as shares of Class D common stock; (iii) reclassifying the existing 275,000,000 shares of Class T common stock as unclassified and unissued shares of common stock; (ii) reclassifying and designating 275,000,000 shares of our authorized common stock as shares of Class T common stock (the “Articles Supplementary”). The Articles Supplementary were filed to amend the amount of Total Account-Level Underwriting Compensation (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) which would trigger the conversion of the Class D common stock and the Class T common stock in a stockholder’s account into Class I common stock to 8.0% or 8.5%, respectively, or with respect to both classes, a lower limit as set forth in any applicable agreement. All other terms of the Class D common stock and Class T common stock are as previously disclosed and remain unchanged by the filing of the Articles Supplementary. The Articles Supplementary were effective upon filing.

The description of the Articles Supplementary in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles Supplementary, which are filed as Exhibit 3.13 hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
