Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information regarding the entry into the Sixth Amendment (defined below) to the Partnership Agreement (defined below) and the general effect thereof as set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.  

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On August 26, 2021, the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC, which is the general partner of the general partner of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P (the “Partnership”), America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two (the “General Partner”), on behalf of the Partnership, entered into the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership Agreement”) to create a new series of limited partnership interests in the Partnership designated as Series B Preferred Units (the “Series B Preferred Units”).  The Sixth Amendment became effective on August 26, 2021 and is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. 

 

The Series B Preferred Units are a new series of limited partnership interests in the Partnership that ranks junior to the Partnership’s existing Series A Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) and Series A-1 Preferred Units interests (“Series A-1 Preferred Units”) representing limited partnership interests in the Partnership (collectively, the “Existing Preferred Units”) with respect to anticipated quarterly distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs.  Holders of the Series B Preferred Units will be entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the General Partner out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions, non-cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 3.40% per annum of the $10.00 per unit purchase price of the Series B Preferred Units, payable quarterly.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Partnership, the holders of the Series B Preferred Units will be entitled to a liquidation preference in connection with their investments in an amount equal to $10.00 per Series B Preferred Unit, plus an amount equal to all distributions declared and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution.

  

With respect to anticipated quarterly distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding-up of the Partnership’s affairs, the Series B Preferred Units rank senior to the Partnership’s beneficial unit certificates (“BUCs”) and to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Units, and junior to the Existing Preferred Units, and junior to any other class or series of Partnership interests or securities expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Units.  The Series B Preferred Units have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund requirements, and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Partnership.  

 

Upon the eighth anniversary of the closing of a holder’s purchase of Series B Preferred Units, and upon each anniversary thereafter, each such holder of Series B Preferred Units will have the right to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series B Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions.  In addition, for a period of 60 days after any date on which the General Partner determines that the ratio of the aggregate market value of the issued and outstanding BUCs as of the close of business, New York time, on any date to the aggregate value of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units and Series A-1 Preferred Units, as shown on the Partnership’s financial statements, on that same date (the “BUCs Ratio”) has fallen below 1.0 and has remained below 1.0 for a period of 15 consecutive business days, each holder of Series B Preferred Units will have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Partnership to redeem, in whole or in part, the Series B Preferred Units held by such holder at a per unit redemption price equal to $10.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid distributions.  

 

Holders of Series B Preferred Units will have no voting rights except for limited voting rights relating to issuances of Partnership securities adversely affecting the Series B Preferred Units.  As of the date of this document, there are no Series B Preferred Units issued and outstanding.

 

The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
