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, 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.
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, 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.
Some 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.
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 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
Prior to the entry into the amended and restated advisory agreement on May 7, 2021 (as discussed in Note 12 "Subsequent Events"), allAll organization and offering costs in connection with the Offering, withdistribution of Class A and Class TX shares in the exceptionprimary portion of costs incurred in connection with restructuring the Offering following the CRII Merger, were the obligation of our advisor. We did not incur any liability for or reimburse our advisor for any of these organizational and offering costs, as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, our advisor had incurred approximately $14,131,000 in organizationalwhich totaled $14.1 million. Organization and offering costs from the issuance of common stock.

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.
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:
| | | | | |

CCI's estimated value per share as of May 7, 2021 | $ | 10.83 | |
Value of CCI common stock issued as consideration | $ | 4,658 | |
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):

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 March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 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, 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.
The table below includes the carrying value and fair value for our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:value (in thousands):

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.

FifthSixth Amended and Restated CROP Partnership Agreement
As a resultAt the effective time of the CRIICMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, we, through our operations are now conducted through CROP.

The Sixth OP Agreement amends the previous operating partnership agreement to reflect the mergers of the operating partnerships of CMRI and CMRII into CROP Partnership Agreement") entered into at the closeeffective time of the CRII Merger amends the performance fee payable to CCA III or its affiliates as follows:
Performance Participation
The Fifth CROP Partnership Agreement eliminates the promotional interest in the operating partnership held by Cottonwood Communities Investor, LLC and assigned to Cottonwood Advisors Promote, LLC, and provides for the payment of a performance participation interest in CROP to CCA III (the “Special Limited Partner” for purposes of the below) as follows. So long as the advisory agreement with CCA III has not been terminated (including by means of non-renewal), the Special Limited Partner will hold a performance participation interest in CROP that entitles it to receive an allocation from CROP equal to 12.5% of the Total Return, subject to a 5% Hurdle Amount, with a Catch-Up (each term as defined below). Such allocation will be made annually and accrue monthly.
Specifically, the Special Limited Partner will be allocated a performance participation in an amount equal to:
•First, if the Total Return for the applicable period exceeds the sum of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such annual Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this clause (this is commonly referred to as a “Catch-Up”); and
•Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.
“Total Return” means, for any period since the end of the prior calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) the sum of:
(i) all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on the participating partnership units outstanding at the end of such period since the beginning of the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, since the date of the CRII Merger) plus
(ii) the change in aggregate NAV of such units since the beginning of the year (but for the year 2021, since the date of the CRII Merger), before giving effect to (x) changes resulting solely from the proceeds of issuances of participating partnership units, (y) any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and (z) applicable distribution fee expenses (including any payments made to CCI for payment of such expenses).
For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Total Return will (i) include any appreciation or depreciation in the NAV of units issued during the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) but (ii) exclude the proceeds from the initial issuance of such units.
“Hurdle Amount” means, for any period during a calendar year, an amount that results in a 5% annualized internal rate of return on the NAV of the participating partnership units outstanding at the beginning of the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) and all participating partnership units issued since the beginning of the applicable calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger), taking into account the timing and amount of all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on all such units and all issuances of participating
partnership units over the period and calculated in accordance with recognized industry practices. The ending NAV of the participating partnership units used in calculating the internal rate of return will be calculated before giving effect to any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and applicable distribution fee expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hurdle Amount for any period will exclude any participating partnership units repurchased during such period, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below.
Except as described in Loss Carryforward below, any amount by which Total Return falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be carried forward to subsequent periods.
“Loss Carryforward Amount” shall initially equal zero and shall cumulatively increase by the absolute value of any negative annual Total Return and decrease by any positive annual Total Return, provided that the Loss Carryforward Amount shall at no time be less than zero and provided further that the calculation of the Loss Carryforward Amount will exclude the Total Return related to any participating partnership units repurchased during such year, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below. The effect of the Loss Carryforward Amount is that the recoupment of past annual Total Return losses will offset the positive annual Total Return for purposes of the calculation of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation.
The Special Limited Partner will also be allocated a performance participation with respect to all Common Units that are repurchased at the end of any month (in connection with repurchases of our shares under our share repurchase plan) in an amount calculated as described above with the relevant period being the portion of the year for which such unit was outstanding, and proceeds for any such unit repurchase will be reduced by the amount of any such performance participation.
The performance participation interest may be payable in cash or Common Units at the election of the Special Limited Partner. If the Special Limited Partner elects to receive such distributions in Common Units, the Special Limited Partner may request CROP to repurchase such Common Units from the Special Limited Partner at a later date pursuant to the “Exchange Right” and CROP will waive the one-year-holding-period requirement.mergers.

Forward lookingForward-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 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 numerous adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
•The COVID-19 pandemic, together with the resulting measures imposed to contain the virus, has had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally. Although we have not seen a material impact on our operations to date, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our operations, the personal financial position of our tenants and the development projects in which we have invested remains uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
•Risks relatedSince 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 proposed CMRI Mergeropportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and CMRII Merger,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 discussed under Item 1. "Business" below, includingwhen a repurchase request would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company that these will not be consummated,would outweigh the disruptionbenefit of management’s attention from our ongoing business operations due to these proposed mergers, and that these mergers may not be accretive to the company.repurchase offer.

There is no assurance that weprior month’s NAV (which will be ableour 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 successfully achievebeing up to a month old when share purchases and repurchases take place, our investment objectives.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.
•We haveThe 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). We have not established a limit on the amount of proceeds from ourthis offering that we may use to fund distributions.

During the early stages of our operations, these distributionsit is likely that we will use sources of funds which may constitute a return of capital to fund distributions. As of June 30, 2021, we have funded a portion of our distributions with offering proceeds.
•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. The costs of our offerings and future offerings may negatively impact our ability to pay distributions and your overall return.

•We pay certainsubstantial 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.
•Certain of our officers and our directors are also officers and directors of our sponsor, advisor and their affiliates and, as a result, are subject to conflicts of interest, including conflicts arising from time constraints and the fact that the fees our advisor receives for services rendered to us are based on our NAV, which our advisor is responsible for determining.

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.

Additional risks related to our business are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward lookingforward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans, which we consider to be reasonable, will be achieved. 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.
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). We do not expect to be able to achieve the balance of these allocations until we have raised substantial proceeds in the Offering (as defined below). 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.
We have registered $750,000,000$750.0 million in shares of common stock in an initial public offering (the "Offering"), consisting of $675,000,000$675.0 million in shares of common stock offered in our primary offering and $75,000,000$75.0 million in shares of common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP Offering”). The Offering commenced in August 2018 and is currentlywas suspended as ofstarting in December 2020 while we pursuepursued the mergers as described below. Prior to the suspension, two classes of
common were available to purchase in the Offering: Class A and Class TX (previously designated Class T) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers). These share classes have different underwriting compensation structures, which compensation our advisor paid on our behalf. When we resume the Offering, we expect to offer three new classes of shares of common stock in the primary offering, newly designated Class T, Class D and Class I, and all five classes in the DRP Offering. Underwriting compensation for the new classes will be paid by investors through an adjustment to the purchase price or borne by us. Refer
On August 12, 2021, we filed a registration statement to
our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 2, 2021 as well as "Part II - Item 5. Other Information"register $1.0 billion in shares of this report for further information regarding these new classescommon stock in a follow-on offering, consisting of shares.$900.0 million in shares of common stock offered in a primary offering and $100.0 million in shares of common stock through the DRP Offering.
On November 8, 2019, we launched a best-efforts private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act for which we initially offered a maximum of $50,000,000$50.0 million in shares of Series 2019 Preferred Stock to accredited investors at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "Private Offering"). Offering-related expenses in the Private Offering are paid from offering proceeds. On March 23, 2021, our board of directors approved an increase in the size of the offering to $100,000,000.$100.0 million.
We operate under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors has retained ourexternal advisor, to conduct our operations and manage our portfolioCC Advisors III, LLC ("CCA III"), through its team of real estate professionals selects our investments and manages our business, subject to the supervisiondirection and oversight of theour board of directors. Our advisor is an affiliate of our sponsor. We have no paid employees.In addition, we employ 342 individuals, including our Chief Legal Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, with 271 employees serving as “site” employees at our properties and the remaining being corporate-level employees supporting our operations. Our employees are responsible for performing various operational services for us, including property management, legal, accounting, property development oversight and certain services relating to construction management, shareholder relations, human resources, renter insurance and information technology.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2019. We utilize an UPREIT organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership was Cottonwood Communities O.P., LP ("CCOP") prior to the CRII Merger and is Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP ("CROP") after the CRII Merger, described below. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.Partnership and own general partner interests in the Operating Partnership alongside third party limited partners.
As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we have raised gross proceeds of $43,710,281$63.7 million from the sale of Series 2019 Preferred Stock in the Private Offering and $121,996,723approximately $122.0 million from the sale of our common stock in the Offering, including the DRP Offering. We have primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate related assets as further described below under Our Investments.
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 the Operating PartnershipCCOP with and into Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP (“CROP”)CROP (the “CROP Partnership 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 and among us, CCOP, Cottonwood Communities GP Subsidiary, LLC ("Merger Sub"), CRII and CROP.
At 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 one share of our newly designated Series 2016 preferred stock, and each issued and outstanding share of Series 2017 preferred stock of CRII converted into one 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 the Operating PartnershipCCOP ("CCOP Series 2019 Preferred Stock") converted into one 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 one 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 one 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 the Operating PartnershipCCOP 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.
Upon consummation of the CRII Merger, the separate existence of CRII and the Operating PartnershipCCOP 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.
Further, as a result of the CRII Merger, we acquired CRII’s affiliate property manager and its employees, which currently manage over approximately 13,000 units in stabilized assets, including approximately 8,6007,300 for Cottonwood affiliates (including us)., and a 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, shareholders,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 discussed in Note 12 "Subsequent Events."agreement.
Proposed MergersCMRI 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. The CMRI Merger and CMRII Merger are not contingent upon each other. Each merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If theThe CMRI and CMRII Mergers were completed on July 15, 2021.
Net Asset Value
Our board of directors, including a majority of our 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 deem the NAV per share of these classes to be the NAV per share of our Class A and 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 website at cottonwoodcommunities.com and in prospectus supplements or a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the 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 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 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 corresponding class. To the extent CROP has classes of units that do not correspond to a class of our shares, such units will be valued in a manner consistent with our valuation procedures. The NAV of CROP on the last day of each month equals the sum of the NAVs of each fully-diluted outstanding OP Unit on such day. In calculating the fully-diluted outstanding OP Units we include all outstanding vested LTIP Units, unvested time-based LTIP Units and those performance-based LTIP Units that would be earned based on the internal rate of return as of such day.
Our total NAV in the following table includes the NAV of our Class A and Class TX common stockholders, approveas well as the respective CMRI Mergerpartnership interests of CROP held by parties other than us.

COVID-19 Pandemic
One of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the real estate industry generally continues to be the effect of the ongoing public health crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. During the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we did not experience significant disruptions in our operations from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, we continue
to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how the pandemic will impact our tenants and multifamily communities.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
We incurred net losses of $3,009,989$21.4 million and $790,050$2.6 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily driven by a fullthe 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 activity from Cottonwood One Upland, which wasthe merger, we acquired March 19, 2020. 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 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 approximately $1,709,000 in non-recurring legal, financial advisor, and other costs associated with the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger. The higher net operating loss was partially offset by an increase in equity in earnings related to income from additional funds provided to the Lector85 Investment, Vernon Boulevard Investment, and Riverfront Investment. Interest expense also increased due to mortgage interest on the timingassets 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 closed on May 7, 2021. The results from the most recent 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 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 acquisition.in the six months ended June 30, 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 deploy capital in strategic real estate investments. We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, and the results of our operations are primarilywill be impacted by the timing of our acquisitions and the equity raised through our offerings. In addition, our results of operations will behave 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 March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not directly comparable, nor are our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,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 Facilityfloating 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 March 31, 2021, Cottonwood West Palm was occupied at a rate of 98.8% and Cottonwood One Upland was occupied at a rate of 94.3%.
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
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 March 31,June 30, 2021, our total operating expenses represented approximately 4.59% and 441% of our average invested assets and our net loss, respectively. Excluding costs associated withexceeded the CRII Merger, the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, total operating expenses would represent 2.59% of average invested assets and 268% of net income for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2021.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 March 31,June 30, 2021 given the costs of operating a public company, 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 firstsecond quarter of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 on the properties owned by the joint ventures, volatility in interest rates, and the satisfaction of REIT dividend requirements.

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 pursuant to the terms of our advisory management agreement.
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.

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.

Subsequent Events
Completion of the CMRI Merger with Cottonwood Residential II, Inc. and Cottonwood Residential O.P., LPCMRII Merger
On May 7,July 15, 2021, we completed the CRIICMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, each through a stock-for-stock and unit-for-unit transaction as described in our Current Report on Form 8-KNote 1 dated May 12, 2021 and incorporated herein by reference. Withto our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this report. At the completioneffective time of the CRIICMRI Merger, we acquired interestseach issued and outstanding share of CMRI’s common stock converted into 1.175 shares of our Class A common stock. At the effective time of the CMRII Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CMRII’s common stock converted into 1.072 shares of our Class A common stock. We issued 10,995,210 shares of our Class A common stock upon the closing of the mergers. Each asset held by CMRI and CMRII was owned through joint ventures with CROP. As a result of the consummation of the CMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger our ownership interest in 22 stabilized multifamily apartment communities, four multifamily development projects, one structured investment, and landthe properties held for development. We also acquired CRII’s property management business and its employees, which currently manage over 13,000 units, including approximately 8,600 for Cottonwood affiliates (including us), as well as through joint ventures with CROP increased to 100%. personnel who have historically performed certain administrative and other services for us on behalf of CCA III.
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.
Amended and Restated Advisory AgreementDistribution Reinvestment Plan
Upon the closing of the CRII Merger, we entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement with CCA III. The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement includes changes to reflect that upon the closing of the CRII Merger, we acquired our property manager, including its employees, as well as personnel who historically performed certain other services for us on behalf of CCA III. CCA III has no obligation to perform these services as it did prior to the CRII Merger, but will continue to oversee and supplement these services to the extent CCA III, acting in its fiduciary capacity, deems appropriate. The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement also removes a provision regarding the use of the Cottonwood name because, following the CRII Merger, the trademark is held by us.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement revises the compensation payable and the expenses that may be reimbursed to CCA III for its services as described below:
Asset Management Fee. CCA III receives a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.0625% of the gross asset value or GAV of CROP (subject to a cap of 0.125% of net asset value or NAV of the operating partnership), before giving effect to any accruals (related to the month for which the asset management fee is being calculated) for the asset management fee, distribution fees in connection with a securities offering, the Performance Allocation (as defined in the Fifth CROP Partnership Agreement and described below) or any distributions. The GAV and NAV of CROP is determined in accordance with the valuation guidelines adopted by the CCI Board and reflective of the ownership interest held by CROP in such gross assets. If we own assets other than through CROP, we will pay a corresponding fee.
The management fee may be paid, at CCA III's election, in cash or shares of our common stock or CROP Common Units. To the extent that CCA III elects to receive any portion of its management fee in shares of our common stock or CROP Common Units, CCA III may request that we or CROP may repurchase such shares or units at a later date. Shares of our common stock and CROP Common Units obtained by CCA III as compensation for the management fee payable are not subject to the repurchase limits of our share repurchase plan or any reduction or penalty for an early repurchase. Upon the request of CCA III, we or CROP will repurchase any such securities for cash unlessOn August 10, 2021, our board of directors determinesadopted and 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 anywe believe reflects the NAV per share of such repurchase would be prohibitedstock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by applicable law,updating a previously disclosed transaction price) where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our charter,NAV per share since the Fifth CROP Partnership Agreement, or otherwise cause our cash levels or leverage levels to be imprudent as determined byend of the prior month. However, our board of directors. CROP will waivedirectors may determine, in its sole discretion, to designate certain distributions as ineligible for reinvestment through the one-year holding period requirementdistribution reinvestment plan, without notice to participants, without suspending the plan and without affecting the future operation of the plan with respect to the “Exchange Right” provided for in the CROP Partnership Agreement. CCA III will have registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock.participants.
Contingent Acquisition Fees and Contingent Financing Fees. If the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated other than for cause (or non-renewal or termination by CCA III), the Contingent Acquisition Fees and Contingent Financing Fees provided for in the previous advisory agreement will be due and payable in an amount equal to approximately $22 million (if the termination occurs in year one) reduced by 10% each year thereafter.
Organization and Offering Expenses. We will reimburse CCA III for any organization and offering expenses that it incurs on our behalf as and when incurred. CCA III is no longer obligated to pay the organization and offering expenses
associated with the Offering as it was prior to the CRII Merger, with the exception of the deferred selling commission associated with Class TX shares sold. After the termination of the primary offering, CCA III will reimburse us to the extent that the organization and offering expenses that we incur exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from any public offering.
Expense Reimbursement. Subject to the limitations on total operating expenses, CCA III is entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates on our behalf, provided that CCA III is responsible for the expenses related to any and all personnel of CCA III who provide investment advisory services pursuant to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (including, without limitation, each of our executive officers and any directors who are also directors, officers or employees of CCA III or any of its affiliates), including, without limitation, salaries, bonus and other wages, payroll taxes and the cost of employee benefit plans of such personnel, and costs of insurance with respect to such personnel (“Advisor Expenses”); provided that we are responsible for the personnel costs of our employees even if they are also directors or officers of CCA III or any of its affiliates except for certain costs as provided for in a reimbursement and cost sharing agreement.
FifthSixth Amended and Restated CROP Partnership Agreement
As a resultAt the effective time of the CRIICMRI Merger and the CMRII Merger, we, through our operations are now conducted through CROP. The Fifthwholly owned subsidiary, the sole general partner of CROP, entered the Sixth Amended and Restated CROPLimited Partnership Agreement of CROP (the "Fifth Crop Partnership Agreement"“Sixth OP Agreement”) enteredby and among Merger Sub, CCA III, the special limited partner and the Limited Partners set forth on Exhibit A thereto. The Sixth OP Agreement amends the previous operating partnership agreement to reflect the mergers of the operating partnerships of CMRI and CMRII into CROP at the closeeffective time of the CRII Merger amends the performance fee payable to CCA III or its affiliates as follows:
Performance Participation
The Fifth CROP Partnership Agreement eliminates the promotional interest in the operating partnership held by Cottonwood Communities Investor, LLC and assigned to Cottonwood Advisors Promote, LLC, and provides for the payment of a performance participation interest in CROP to CCA III (the “Special Limited Partner” for purposes of the below) as follows. So long as the advisory agreement with CCA III has not been terminated (including by means of non-renewal), the Special Limited Partner will hold a performance participation interest in CROP that entitles it to receive an allocation from CROP equal to 12.5% of the Total Return, subject to a 5% Hurdle Amount, with a Catch-Up (each term as defined below). Such allocation will be made annually and accrue monthly.
Specifically, the Special Limited Partner will be allocated a performance participation in an amount equal to:
•First, if the Total Return for the applicable period exceeds the sum of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such annual Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this clause (this is commonly referred to as a “Catch-Up”); and
•Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.
“Total Return” means, for any period since the end of the prior calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) the sum of:
(i) all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on the participating partnership units outstanding at the end of such period since the beginning of the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, since the date of the CRII Merger) plus
(ii) the change in aggregate NAV of such units since the beginning of the year (but for the year 2021, since the date of the CRII Merger), before giving effect to (x) changes resulting solely from the proceeds of issuances of participating partnership units, (y) any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and (z) applicable distribution fee expenses (including any payments made to CCI for payment of such expenses).
For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Total Return will (i) include any appreciation or depreciation in the NAV of units issued during the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) but (ii) exclude the proceeds from the initial issuance of such units.
“Hurdle Amount” means, for any period during a calendar year, an amount that results in a 5% annualized internal rate of return on the NAV of the participating partnership units outstanding at the beginning of the then-current calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger) and all participating partnership units issued since the beginning of the applicable calendar year (but for the year 2021, beginning as of the date of the CRII Merger), taking into account the
timing and amount of all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on all such units and all issuances of participating partnership units over the period and calculated in accordance with recognized industry practices. The ending NAV of the participating partnership units used in calculating the internal rate of return will be calculated before giving effect to any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and applicable distribution fee expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hurdle Amount for any period will exclude any participating partnership units repurchased during such period, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below.
Except as described in Loss Carryforward below, any amount by which Total Return falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be carried forward to subsequent periods.
“Loss Carryforward Amount” shall initially equal zero and shall cumulatively increase by the absolute value of any negative annual Total Return and decrease by any positive annual Total Return, provided that the Loss Carryforward Amount shall at no time be less than zero and provided further that the calculation of the Loss Carryforward Amount will exclude the Total Return related to any participating partnership units repurchased during such year, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below. The effect of the Loss Carryforward Amount is that the recoupment of past annual Total Return losses will offset the positive annual Total Return for purposes of the calculation of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation.
The Special Limited Partner will also be allocated a performance participation with respect to all Common Units that are repurchased at the end of any month (in connection with repurchases of our shares under our share repurchase plan) in an amount calculated as described above with the relevant period being the portion of the year for which such unit was outstanding, and proceeds for any such unit repurchase will be reduced by the amount of any such performance participation.
The performance participation interest may be payable in cash or Common Units at the election of the Special Limited Partner. If the Special Limited Partner elects to receive such distributions in Common Units, the Special Limited Partner may request CROP to repurchase such Common Units from the Special Limited Partner at a later date pursuant to the “Exchange Right” and CROP will waive the one-year-holding-period requirement.mergers.

As of March 31,June 30, 2021, our advisor had incurred approximately $14,131,000$14.1 million in organizational and offering costs from the issuance of our Class A and Class TX common stock. Following the execution of the amended and restated advisory agreement, organizational and offering costs for the Offering, with the exception of the deferred selling commission on the Class TX shares, will beare paid by investors through an adjustment to the purchase price or borne by us.

Articles SupplementaryAmended and Restated Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On May 12,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
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; and (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 “Class D Articles“Articles Supplementary”). The Class D Articles Supplementary were filed to amend the amount of Total Account-Level Underwriting Compensation (as defined in the Class D 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 3.0%.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 new Class D Articles Supplementary. The Class D Articles Supplementary were effective upon filing.
The description of the Class D Articles Supplementary in this report dodoes not purport to be complete and areis qualified in theirits entirety by reference to the full text of the Class D Articles Supplementary, which are filed as Exhibit 3.123.13 hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program
General
On May 11, 2021, we adopted an amended and restated share repurchase program, which will be in effect upon resumption of our share repurchase program. Pursuant to the amended and restated share repurchase program, stockholders may continue to request that we repurchase all or any portion of their shares on a monthly basis; however, we have adopted updated procedures to reflect the fact that we intend to announce a monthly net asset value (“NAV”) per share and adjusted the repurchase pricing for our shares of Class A and Class TX shares of common stock that have been held for five years. The full terms of our amended and restated share repurchase program are as follows.
Stockholders may request that we repurchase shares of our common stock through their financial professional or directly with our transfer agent. The procedures relating to the repurchase of shares of our common stock are as follows:
•Certain broker-dealers require that their clients process repurchases through their broker-dealer, which may impact the time necessary to process such repurchase request, impose more restrictive deadlines than described under our share repurchase program, impact the timing of a stockholder receiving repurchase proceeds and require different paperwork or process than described in our share repurchase program. Stockholders should contact their broker-dealer first if they want to request the repurchase of their shares.
•Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we choose to repurchase shares in any particular month we will only repurchase shares as of the opening of the last calendar day of that month (a “Repurchase Date”). To have shares repurchased, a stockholder’s repurchase request and required documentation must be received in good order by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month. Settlements of share repurchases will generally be made within three business days of the Repurchase Date. Repurchase requests received and processed by our transfer agent will be effected at a repurchase price equal to the transaction price on the applicable Repurchase Date (which will generally be equal to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share), subject to any Early Repurchase Deduction (as defined below).
•A stockholder may withdraw his or her repurchase request by notifying the transfer agent directly or through the stockholder’s financial intermediary on our toll-free telephone number. The line is open on each business day between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Repurchase requests must be cancelled before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the applicable month.
•If a repurchase request is received after 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month, the repurchase request will be executed, if at all, on the next month’s Repurchase Date at the transaction price applicable to that month (subject to any Early Repurchase Deduction), unless such request is withdrawn prior to the repurchase. Repurchase requests received and processed by our transfer agent on a business day, but after the close of business on that day or on a day that is not a business day, will be deemed received on the next business day. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of repurchase requests and notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding.
•Repurchase requests may be made by mail or by contacting a stockholder’s financial intermediary, both subject to certain conditions described in the share repurchase program. If making a repurchase request by contacting a stockholder’s financial intermediary, the financial intermediary may require the stockholder to provide certain documentation or information. If making a repurchase request by mail to the transfer agent, a stockholder must complete and sign a repurchase authorization form, which will be available on our website, www.cottonwoodcommunities.com. Written requests should be sent to the transfer agent as provided in our share repurchase program. Corporate investors and other non-individual entities must have an appropriate certification on file authorizing repurchases. A medallion signature guarantee will be required in connection with repurchase requests.
•For processed repurchases, stockholders may request that repurchase proceeds are to be paid by mailed check provided that the check is mailed to an address on file with the transfer agent for at least 30 days. Stockholders should check with their broker-dealer that such payment may be made via check or wire transfer, as further described below.
•Stockholders may also receive repurchase proceeds via wire transfer, provided that wiring instructions for their brokerage account or designated U.S. bank account are provided. For all repurchases paid via wire transfer, the funds will be wired to the account on file with the transfer agent or, upon instruction, to another financial institution provided that the stockholder has made the necessary funds transfer arrangements. The customer service representative can provide detailed instructions on establishing funding arrangements and designating a bank or brokerage account on file. Funds will be wired only to U.S. financial institutions (ACH network members).
•A medallion signature guarantee will be required in connection with repurchase requests. The medallion signature process protects stockholders by verifying the authenticity of a signature and limiting unauthorized fraudulent transactions. A medallion signature guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker-dealer, clearing agency, savings association or other financial institution which participates in a medallion program recognized by the Securities Transfer Association. The three recognized medallion programs are the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program. Signature guarantees from financial institutions that are not participating in any of these medallion programs will not be accepted. A notary public cannot provide signature guarantees. We reserve the right to amend, waive or discontinue this policy at any time and establish other criteria for verifying the authenticity of any repurchase or transaction request.
•If a stockholder has made multiple purchases of shares of our common stock, any repurchase request will be processed on a first in/first out basis unless otherwise requested in the repurchase request.
Minimum Account Repurchases
In the event that any stockholder fails to maintain the minimum balance of $500 of shares of our common stock, we may repurchase all of the shares held by that stockholder at the repurchase price in effect on the date we determine that the stockholder has failed to meet the minimum balance, less any Early Repurchase Deduction. Minimum account repurchases will apply even in the event that the failure to meet the minimum balance is caused solely by a decline in our NAV. Minimum account repurchases are subject to the Early Repurchase Deduction.
Sources of Funds for Repurchases
We may fund repurchase requests from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds (including from sales of our common stock or operating partnership units to the special limited partner), and we have no limits on the amounts we may use to fund repurchases from such sources.
Repurchase Limitations
We may repurchase fewer shares than have been requested in any particular month to be repurchased under our share repurchase program, or none at all, in our discretion at any time. In addition, the total amount of aggregate repurchases of Class T, Class D, Class I, Class A and Class TX shares will be limited to no more than 2% of our aggregate NAV per month and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter.
In the event that we determine to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares submitted for repurchase during such month will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase program, as applicable.
In the transitional quarter of 2021, which is the first quarter in which this amended and restated share repurchase program is in effect, we will allow repurchases in up to the maximum permitted as if the share repurchase program had been effective and open the entire quarter (taking into consideration repurchases under our prior share repurchase program in the quarter).
If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no repurchase requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased the following month must resubmit their repurchase requests.
Should repurchase requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on our company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of our company as a whole, we may choose to repurchase fewer shares in any particular month than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all. 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 the best interest of us and our stockholders. Material modifications, including any amendment to the 2% monthly or 5% quarterly limitations on repurchases, to and suspensions of the share repurchase program will be promptly disclosed to stockholders in a prospectus supplement (or post-effective amendment if required by the Securities Act) or special or periodic report filed by us. Material modifications will also be disclosed on our website. In addition, we may determine to suspend the share repurchase program due to regulatory changes, changes in law or if we become aware of undisclosed material information that we believe should be publicly disclosed before shares are repurchased. Once the share repurchase program is suspended, our board of directors will be required to consider at least quarterly whether the continued suspension of this share repurchase program is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Our board of directors must affirmatively authorize the recommencement of the program before stockholder requests will be considered again. Our board of directors cannot terminate our share repurchase program unless shares of our common stock were to list on a national securities exchange or where otherwise required by law.
Early Repurchase Deduction
There is no minimum holding period for the repurchase of the Class T, Class D and Class I shares and holders of such shares can request that we repurchase their shares at any time. Holders of Class A and Class TX shares must hold their shares at least one year before they are eligible to be repurchased. Repurchases will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Repurchase Date, with the following exceptions (collectively, the “Early Repurchase Deduction”): (i) Class T, Class D and Class I shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price, (ii) Class A and Class TX shares that have been outstanding for at least five years and less than six years will be repurchased at 95% of the transaction price, (iii) Class A and Class TX shares that have been outstanding for at least three years and less than five years will be repurchased at 90% of the transaction price and (iv) Class A and Class TX shares that have been outstanding for at least one year and less than three years will be repurchased at 85% of the transaction price. For purposes of the Early Repurchase Deduction, the holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date provided that the subscription closing date for holders of Class A shares who acquired their shares pursuant to a merger transaction will be the date the holder acquired the corresponding share that was exchanged in the merger
transaction. Additionally, the holding period for stockholders who received shares of our common stock in exchange for their operating partnership units is measured as of the date the exchange occurred and they received shares of our common stock. The Early Repurchase Deduction will also generally apply to minimum account repurchases. The Early Repurchase Deduction will not apply to shares acquired through our distribution reinvestment plan or issued pursuant to a stock dividend.
In connection with repurchases resulting from death or qualifying disability, we may, from time to time, waive the Early Repurchase Deduction with respect to the Class T, Class D and Class I shares that have been outstanding for less than a year and the Class A and Class TX shares that have been outstanding for at least two years, and reduce the Early Repurchase Deduction for Class A and Class TX shares that have been outstanding for less than two years such that the shares are repurchased at 95% of the transaction price. In addition, we may, from time to time, waive the Early Repurchase Deduction with respect to all classes of shares in the event that a stockholder’s shares are repurchased because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $500 minimum account balance.
As set forth above, we may waive or reduce the Early Repurchase Deduction in respect of the repurchase of shares resulting from the death of a stockholder who is a natural person, subject to the conditions and limitations described above, including shares held by the stockholder through a revocable grantor trust or an individual retirement plan or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after receiving written notice from the estate of the stockholder, the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, or, in the case of a revocable grantor trust, the trustee of such trust, who will have the sole ability to request repurchase on behalf of the trust. We must receive the written repurchase request within 12 months after the death of the stockholder in order for the requesting party to rely on any of the special treatment described above that may be afforded in the event of the death of a stockholder. Such a written request must be accompanied by a certified copy of the official death certificate of the stockholder. If spouses are joint registered holders of shares, the request to repurchase the shares may be made if either of the registered holders dies. If the stockholder is not a natural person, such as certain trusts or a partnership, corporation or other similar entity, the right of repurchase upon death does not apply.
Furthermore, as set forth above, we may waive or reduce the Early Repurchase Deduction in respect of the repurchase of shares held by a stockholder who is a natural person who is deemed to have a qualifying disability (as such term is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code), subject to the conditions and limitations described above, including shares held by such stockholder through a revocable grantor trust, or an individual retirement account or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after receiving written notice from the stockholder, provided that the condition causing the qualifying disability was not pre-existing on the date that the stockholder became a stockholder. We must receive the written repurchase request within 12 months of the initial determination of the stockholder’s disability in order for the stockholder to rely on any of the waivers described above that may be granted in the event of the disability of a stockholder. If spouses are joint registered holders of shares, the request to repurchase the shares may be made if either of the registered holders acquires a qualifying disability. If the stockholder is not a natural person, such as certain trusts or a partnership, corporation or other similar entity, the right of repurchase upon disability does not apply.
Items of Note
Stockholders should note the following when a request to have shares repurchased is made:
•stockholders requesting that some but not all of their shares be repurchased should keep their balance above $500 to avoid minimum account repurchase, if applicable;
•stockholders will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed repurchase checks;
•under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, repurchase requests may be suspended, restricted or canceled and the proceeds may be withheld; and
•all shares of our common stock requested to be repurchased must be beneficially owned by the stockholder of record making the request or his or her estate, heir or beneficiary, or the party requesting the repurchase must be authorized to do so by the stockholder of record of the shares or his or her estate, heir or beneficiary, and such shares of common stock must be fully transferable and not subject to any liens or encumbrances. In certain cases, we may ask the requesting party to provide evidence satisfactory to us that the shares requested for repurchase are not subject to any liens or encumbrances. If we determine that a lien exists against the shares, we will not be obligated to repurchase any shares subject to the lien.
IRS regulations require us to determine and disclose on Form 1099-B the adjusted cost basis for shares of our stock sold or repurchased. Although there are several available methods for determining the adjusted cost basis, unless a stockholder elect otherwise, which a stockholder may do by contacting our transfer agent at our toll-free telephone number, we will utilize the first-in-first-out method.
Frequent Trading and Other Policies
We may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders for shares of our common stock. For example, we may reject any purchase orders from market timers or investors that, in our opinion, may be disruptive to our operations. Frequent purchases and sales of our shares can harm stockholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term stockholders by increasing our costs, disrupting portfolio management strategies and diluting the value of the shares of long-term stockholders.
In general, stockholders may request that we repurchase their shares of our common stock once every 30 days. However, we prohibit frequent trading. We define frequent trading as follows:
•any stockholder who requests that we repurchase its shares of our common stock within 30 calendar days of the purchase of such shares;
•transactions deemed harmful or excessive by us (including, but not limited to, patterns of purchases and repurchases), in our sole discretion; and
•transactions initiated by financial professionals, among multiple stockholder accounts, that in the aggregate are deemed harmful or excessive.
The following are excluded when determining whether transactions are excessive:
•purchases and requests for repurchase of our shares in the amount of $2,500 or less;
•purchases or repurchases initiated by us; and
•transactions subject to the trading policy of an intermediary that we deem materially similar to our policy.
At the dealer manager’s discretion, upon the first violation of the policy in a calendar year, purchase and repurchase privileges may be suspended for 90 days. Upon a second violation in a calendar year, purchase and repurchase privileges may be suspended for 180 days. On the next business day following the end of the 90- or 180-day suspension, any transaction restrictions placed on a stockholder may be removed.
Mail and Telephone Instructions
We and our transfer agent will not be responsible for the authenticity of mail or phone instructions or losses, if any, resulting from unauthorized stockholder transactions if they reasonably believe that such instructions were genuine. Our transfer agent has established reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine including requiring the stockholder to provide certain specific identifying information on file and sending written confirmation to stockholders of record no later than five days following execution of the instruction. Stockholders, or their designated custodian or fiduciary, should carefully review such correspondence to ensure that the instructions were properly acted upon. If any discrepancies are noted, the stockholder, or its agent, should contact his, her or its financial professional as well as our transfer agent in a timely manner, but in no event more than 60 days from receipt of such correspondence. Failure to notify such entities in a timely manner will relieve us, our transfer agent and the financial professional of any liability with respect to the discrepancy.
