On March 5, 2015, Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through BR Fox Hills TIC-1, LLC (“TIC-1”), a subsidiary of Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and through BR Fox Hills TIC-2, LLC (“TIC-2,” and together with TIC-1, the “TICs”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, entered into an Assignment Agreement with Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C., the Company’s sponsor (“BRRE”), pursuant to which BRRE assigned to the TICs all of its right, title and interest in and to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with WRPV XI FH Austin, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“WRPV”), an unaffiliated third party. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as assigned by the Assignment Agreement, the TICs will acquire all of WRPV’s right, title and interest in and to the Fox Hill Apartments, a 288-unit apartment community located in Austin, Texas (the “Fox Hill Property”). The sale price for the Fox Hill Property is approximately $38.15 million, subject to certain prorations and adjustments typical in a real estate transaction. The closing on the acquisition of the Fox Hill Property is expected to occur on or about March 26, 2015.

There is no assurance the acquisition of the Fox Hill Property will occur, as the acquisition is subject to various contingencies as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which contains terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that are customary and standard in the real estate industry. Our board of directors, including all of our independent directors, has unanimously approved the acquisition of the Fox Hill Property.
