Litigation and Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. The Company believes that such liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have been named as a defendant in a number of cases alleging antitrust violations by RealPage, Inc., a vendor providing revenue management software products, and various owners or managers of multifamily housing, which cases have been consolidated in the United States Court for the Middle District of Tennessee with the Second Amended Complaint filed September 7, 2023 and a case with similar allegations that has been filed by the District of Columbia on November 1, 2023 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. These cases seek injunctive relief as well as monetary damages. We are also aware that governmental investigations regarding antitrust matters in the multifamily industry are occurring. We believe that there are defenses, both factual and legal, to the allegations in such cases and we intend to vigorously defend such suits. As all of the above proceedings are in the early stages, it is not possible for us to predict the outcome or to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may be associated with an adverse decision in any of these cases or any case that may be brought based on the investigations.
