ITEM 1.01.Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 20, 2019, Apartment Investment and Management Company (“Aimco”) effected the previously-announced 1-for-1.03119 reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, on February 20, 2019, Aimco’s wholly owned subsidiary, AIMCO-GP, Inc. (the “General Partner”), which is the general partner of Aimco’s operating partnership, AIMCO Properties, L.P. (the “Aimco Operating Partnership”), entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P., dated as of July 29, 1994 and amended and restated as of February 28, 2007 (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”). The Eleventh Amendment modifies the definition of “Adjustment Factor” in the Operating Partnership Agreement so that no change occurs if Aimco splits or subdivides its outstanding shares of common stock, or combines its outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, if the Aimco Operating Partnership concurrently effects a similar split, subdivision or combination of its outstanding Partnership Common Units (“OP Units”). On February 20, 2019, the General Partner effected a 1-for-1.03119 reverse split of its outstanding OP Units. As a result of this reverse unit split, and the Eleventh Amendment, after the Reverse Stock Split, OP Units will continue to be redeemable in exchange for shares of Aimco common stock on a one-for-one basis (or cash equal to the value of such shares, as determined by the Aimco Operating Partnership in its discretion).

The description of the Eleventh Amendment set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Eleventh Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

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

Aimco has filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to amend its charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split, effective at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on February 20, 2019. Pursuant to the Articles of Amendment, every 1.03119 shares of Aimco’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock were combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in the Reverse Stock Split, and cash will be paid in lieu of any fraction of a share to which a stockholder would otherwise be entitled.

The description of the Articles of Amendment set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THEFOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OFLIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.

This ELEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P., dated as of February 20, 2019 (this “Amendment”), is being executed by AIMCO-GP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “General Partner”), as the general partner of AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), pursuant to the authority conferred on the General Partner by Section 7.3.C of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AIMCO Properties, L.P., dated as of July 29, 1994 and restated as of February 28, 2007, as amended and/or supplemented from time to time (including all the exhibits thereto, the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that this Amendment is desirable in connection with a reverse stock split proposed to be effected by the Previous General Partner.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The penultimate sentence of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” in ARTICLE I of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event, provided, however, that any Limited Partner may waive, by written notice to the General Partner, the effect of any adjustment to the Adjustment Factor applicable to the Partnership Common Units held by such Limited Partner, and, thereafter, such adjustment will not be effective as to such Partnership Common Units; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if the Previous General Partner declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall be made if the Partnership concurrently pays a distribution with respect to each Partnership Common Unit consisting of (i) a number of Partnership Common Units (or fraction thereof) equal to the number of REIT Shares (or fraction thereof) paid as a dividend with respect to each REIT Share, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the value, as determined in good faith by the General Partner, of the number of REIT Shares (or fraction thereof) paid as a dividend with respect to each

REIT Share and (B) if the Previous General Partner splits or subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares or effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, no adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall be made if the Partnership concurrently splits or subdivides its outstanding Partnership Common Units or combines its outstanding Partnership Common Units into a smaller number of Partnership Common Units, as applicable, such that the ratio of outstanding REIT Shares to outstanding Partnership Common Units prior to such split, subdivision, reverse split or combination is equal to the ratio of outstanding REIT Shares to outstanding Partnership Common Units following such split, subdivision, reverse split or combination.”

2. Miscellaneous. Except as specifically amended hereby, the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect and, except as amended hereby, all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
