Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Entry Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On September 30, 2013 (the "Amendment Effective Date"), American Homes 4 Rent (the "Company") announced that its
operating partnership, American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership", and together with certain other subsidiaries of the Company collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into an Increased Commitment Supplement and Third
Omnibus Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as Lead Arranger and Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("J.P. Morgan"), as Lenders. The Amendment
supplements and amends the Master Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2013, (as previously amended, the "Loan Agreement") between the Borrowers and Wells Fargo, as the Lead Arranger. The Loan Agreement provides for a
senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility) for the Borrowers. The Company guarantees borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The Amendment, among other things: (1) joins J.P. Morgan as a Lender, (2) increases the maximum amount available for borrowings
under the Credit Facility from $500 million to $800 million, (3) extends the period to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility to September 30, 2018, (4) provides for borrowings under the Credit Facility to bear interest at the
one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.75% until March 2017 and, thereafter, at one-month LIBOR plus 3.125%, (5) changes the tangible net worth covenant to require the adjusted tangible net worth of the Company at
all times to be not less than 85% of the Company's adjusted tangible net worth as of the Amendment Effective Date
plus
85% of the net proceeds of any additional equity capital raises completed by the Company on or after the Amendment
Effective Date and (6) changes the minimum liquidity covenant to require the Company at all times to maintain cash, cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under any credit facilities in an aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000, of which at
least $7,500,000 must be in cash and cash equivalents. All other provisions and terms of the Loan Agreement remain substantially the same.
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the lenders or their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from
time to time perform, investment banking, advisory, lending and/or commercial banking or other financial services for the Company and its subsidiaries for which they received, or may receive, customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the press release announcing the Amendment is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
