2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

On June 28, 2013, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) determined that the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) has been scheduled for December 17, 2013, and that the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting is September 23, 2013.  Because the date of the 2013 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary date of the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is informing stockholders of changes to the deadlines for submitting stockholder proposals and candidates for nomination to the Board.

For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2013 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, the proposal must be received at the Company’s corporate offices on or before August 19, 2013.  Any such proposal also must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable rules established by the SEC.

In addition, nominations by stockholders of candidates for director or proposals of other business by stockholders not intended to be included in our proxy materials must be submitted in accordance with our bylaws (the “Bylaws”).  Our Bylaws currently provide that, in order for a stockholder nomination or proposal to be considered at the 2013 Annual Meeting, it must be received by us not earlier than August 19, 2013 and not later than the close of business on September 18, 2013.  Any such proposal must also comply with the other requirements set forth in the Bylaws.

Proposals should be directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, Behringer Harvard Multifamily REIT I, Inc., 15601 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Addison, Texas 75001.

Distributions

On June 28, 2013, the Board authorized distributions payable to the stockholders of record each day for July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013.  Distributions payable to each stockholder of record will be paid in cash on or before the 16th day of the following month.  The declared distributions equal a daily amount of $0.000958904 per share of common stock.  If this rate were paid each day for a 365-day period, it would equal a 3.5% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. A portion of each distribution may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.  There is no assurance that we will continue to declare distributions or at this rate.
