AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH), a leading provider of high quality single-family rental homes ("the Company"), today posted the revised "Home Price Appreciation Factor" and "Home Price Appreciation Amount" through December 31, 2017, as those terms are defined in the final prospectus for the Company's 5.5% Series C Participating Preferred Shares (NYSE: AMHPRC).  The computations of these amounts are based on the results of the House Price Index of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA, known as the Quarterly Purchase-Only Index, or POI, specifically the non-seasonally adjusted "Purchase-Only Index" for the "100 Largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas" as of December 31, 2017, which was released February 27, 2018.

Based on the weighting among our top 20 markets established under the terms of our 5.5% Series C Participating Preferred Shares, cumulative home price appreciation for the period from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2017 was 30.78%, resulting in a Home Price Appreciation Factor of 15.39%.  The Home Price Appreciation Amount on our 5.5% Series C Participating Preferred Shares through December 31, 2017 was $3.847.

The computation of these amounts appears at the end of this press release and has also been posted to the "For Investors" page of the Company's website. Until March 31, 2021, the amount payable to holders of AMHPRC shares upon any redemption, conversion or liquidation event is subject to a cap such that the total internal rate of return when considering the initial liquidation preference, the Home Price Appreciation Amount and all dividends paid or accrued will not exceed 9.0%. Currently, such amounts exceed the 9.0% cap. The Company anticipates announcing the next update to these amounts in approximately three months.
