American Homes 4 Rent (AMH or the General Partner) is an internally managed Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT). American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Operating Partnership or the OP) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. References to the Company, we, our and us mean collectively AMH, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by AMH and/or the Operating Partnership. We are focused on developing, renovating, leasing and managing single-family homes as rental properties. We commenced operations in November 2012. Our geographically diversified portfolio of single-family homes has evolved into a nationally recognized brand that is well-known for quality, value and resident satisfaction and is well respected in our communities. Our goal is to simplify the experience of leasing a home and provide an accessible housing option to the one in three households who choose to rent in the country. Since launching our internal AMH Development Program in 2017, we have contributed to addressing the national housing shortage by developing thousands of built-for-rental homes per year to meet growing demands. At a time when housing affordability remains constrained across the country, AMH is focused on being part of the solution by expanding the housing supply, elevating the resident experience and creating value for all our stakeholders. AMH is the general partner of, and as of December 31, 2025, owned approximately 87.9% of the common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 12.1% of the common partnership interest was owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, AMH has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management. The Company's management operates AMH and the Operating Partnership as one business, and the management of AMH consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. AMH's primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The only material asset of AMH is its partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, AMH generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. AMH itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company's ownership interests in its joint ventures, either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the Company's business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. AMH contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, AMH receives Operating Partnership units (OP units) equal to the number of shares it has issued in the equity offering. Based on the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended, OP units can be exchanged for shares on a one for-one basis. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by AMH, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company's business through the Operating Partnership's operations, by the Operating Partnership's incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of OP units. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held 61,479 single-family properties in select submarkets of metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) within 24 states, including 1,142 properties classified as held for sale, and 56,756 of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) were occupied. The Company also held an additional 3,785 properties in unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2025. We have an integrated operating platform that consists of 1,598 personnel dedicated to property management, development, marketing, leasing, financial and administrative functions. We believe that we have been organized and operate in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under U.S. federal income tax laws for each of our taxable years commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012, through the current taxable year ended December 31, 2025. We expect to satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws for our taxable year ending December 31, 2026, and subsequent taxable years. We believe that the Operating Partnership is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income. Instead, each of the Operating Partnership's partners, including AMH, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of the Operating Partnership's income. As such, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included for the Operating Partnership. American Homes 4 Rent was established on October 19, 2012 and incorporated in 2012 in Maryland and is based in Las Vegas, United States.
