(the Company) filed a current Report on Form 8-K (the Form 8-K) disclosing the acquisition of the property management business of Elco Landmark Residential Management LLC and certain of its affiliates and certain related transactions (collectively, the ELRM Transaction). In connection with this disclosure, the Company reported that the ELRM Transaction was approved by the board of directors of the Company, with Messrs. Lubeck and Salkind abstaining, based upon the recommendation of a special committee comprised of all of the Companys independent directors. Rather, the special committee was comprised of Messrs. Olander, Bunting, Gaither and Kobel, none of whom have any direct pecuniary interest in the ELRM Transaction. Messrs. Bunting, Gaither and Kobel are independent directors of the Company. The Company hereby amends the Form 8-K to reflect this correction. No other changes have been made to the Form 8-K.
