(“CSFR”), funded $100 million in the aggregate in cash for an increased associate general partnership interest and related partnership units in CSFR. CSFR is the single-family home acquisition and rentership platform sponsored and managed by affiliates of the Company’s manager.

Together with the $100 million invested in the aggregate on January 2, 2013 and January 3, 2013, the investments described in this paragraph total $205 million in the aggregate, which was invested at the same cost basis as all investors in CSFR to date.
CFI CSFR currently has invested $355 million in CSFR, taking into account the initial contribution of $150 million in assets to CSFR on July 31, 2012, substantially all of which was in the form of previously acquired single-family residential assets already acquired by the Company through a subsidiary.
