COLONYAMERICANHOMES Colony Starwood Homes Update Presentation October 2015

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust (“SWAY”) and Colony American Homes (“CAH”) operate and beliefs of and assumptions made by SWAY management and CAH management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial results of SWAY or CAH or the combined company (“Colony Starwood Homes” or the “Combined Company”). Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “could,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue,” “predicts,” variations of such words, the negative of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the anticipated benefits of the business combination transaction involving SWAY and CAH, including future financial and operating results (such as core funds from operations, “Core FFO”), and the Combined Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to expected synergies, improved liquidity and balance sheet strength — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, regional and local economic climates, (ii) changes in financial markets and interest rates, or to the business or financial condition of either company or business, (iii) changes in market demand for rental single family homes and competitive pricing, (iv) risks associated with acquisitions, including the integration of the combined companies’ businesses, (v) maintenance of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) status, (vi) availability of financing and capital, (vii) risks associated with achieving expected revenue synergies or cost savings, (viii) risks associated with the companies’ ability to consummate the merger on the terms described or at all and the timing of the closing of the merger, and (ix) those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by SWAY from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in its most recently filed reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. There can be no assurance that the proposed combination will in fact be consummated. Neither SWAY, CAH nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication, and both SWAY and CAH anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their views to change. However, neither SWAY nor CAH undertakes any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this presentation, nor to confirm SWAY or CAH’s prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and neither SWAY nor CAH intend to do so.

Appendix Aggregate Asset Value. Total estimated asset value including both estimated SFR value, estimated NPL value and estimated CAH FNMA JV value, plus all other tangible assets at book value and cash as of June 30, 2015, adjusted for subsequent one-time dividends. Estimated Fair Value of Assets. Estimated fair value of assets is both estimated SFR value and estimated NPL value; refer to the definition below. Estimated NAV. We define estimated net asset value (“Estimated NAV”) as the estimated value of all tangible assets net of liabilities. To calculate the Estimated NAV, the historical net investments in real estate and NPLs at carrying value are deducted from total combined shareholders’ equity and the Estimated SFR Value and NPL Value are added. Estimated Enterprise value at FMV reflects Estimated NAV plus total debt including convertible notes minus cash as of June 30, 2015, adjusted for subsequent one-time dividends. The fair value of investments in real estate (“Estimated SFR Value”) is determined using a method that incorporates three value sources: automated valuation model values (“AVMs”), BPOs and internal desktop evaluations. AVM values, which are value estimates provided by service providers based on their proprietary mathematical modeling platforms that utilize historical sales and public records data of comparable homes and are adjusted based on characteristics specific to the relevant home being valued, are ordered for each home, and the AVMs we receive are accompanied with a confidence index which provides a measure for the perceived reliability of the AVM value. When a home’s AVM confidence index falls below a specific score, we will order a BPO, which is a value estimate provided by a local broker based on comparable sales data and adjusted based on characteristics specific to the relevant home being valued. If for some reason a current BPO is not available, an internal evaluation is performed by a licensed appraiser using the market approach as defined by the Appraisal Institute to estimate the fair value. The estimated fair value of the CAH FNMA JV is determined using the net present value of the projected cash flows of the joint venture. The fair value of investments in NPLs (“NPL Value”) is determined using the net present values of the BPOs of the underlying homes or their projected maximum legal debt, whichever is less, discounted at a market discount rate that is reviewed periodically. The net present values are determined using estimates of the length of time to foreclose or convert the relevant homes, with such estimates made on a state?by?state basis pursuant to market data received from service providers as adjusted from time to time based on our experience. The costs of selling properties in the portfolio, including commissions and other related costs are not deducted for the purpose of calculating the Estimated SFR Value and Estimated NAV. Further, future promoted interests on the NPL portfolio are not deducted for the purpose of calculating Estimated SFR & NPL Value and Estimated NAV. We consider Estimated NAV to be an appropriate supplemental measure as it illustrates the estimated imbedded value in our SFR portfolio and NPL portfolio that is carried on our balance sheet primarily at cost. The Estimated SFR Value, Estimated NPL Value and Estimated NAV are non?GAAP financial measures. However, they are provided for informational purposes to be used by investors in assessing the value of the assets. These metrics should be considered along with other available information in valuing and assessing us, including our GAAP financial measures and other cash flow and yield metrics. These metrics should not be viewed as a substitute for book value, net investments in real estate, equity, net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of profitability or liquidity. Further, not all real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) compute the same non?GAAP measure; therefore, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing this non?GAAP measure is comparable with that of other REITs. Core FFO Accretion. Based on 2015 SWAY Core FFO guidance, adjusting for impact of merger and assuming run-rate impact of synergies for Combined Company. Liquidity. The Combined Company has a combined cash balance of ~$235MM and a combined undrawn SFR credit facility amount of ~$739MM as of June 30, 2015, adjusted for subsequent one-time dividends. The Combined Company expects to maintain a significant amount of liquidity going forward to fund its strategy. However, the undrawn SFR credit facility capacity of the Combined Company after closing may be less than the sum of the SWAY and CAH June 30, 2015, undrawn SFR credit facility amounts. Occupancy. Total Portfolio Occupancy represents number of homes occupied as of the last day of the period ending June 30, 2015, divided by total SFR portfolio homes minus homes not intended to be held for the long term. Total Stabilized Occupancy represents occupied homes as of the last day of the period ended June 30, 2015, divided by homes that are currently occupied or have been occupied in prior periods. In addition, as reported in SWAY’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2015, SWAY’s homes were 92.2% leased as of June 30, 2015, representing number of homes that had a signed lease as of the last day of the period, not occupancy. Rent Growth. All figures represent rent growth for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. SWAY renewal rent growth includes rent growth from renewals and escalation clauses on multi-year leases. Retention. Resident Retention for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, excludes 1,436 homes that were not intended to be held for the long term. Synergies. Expected synergies of $40-50MM are inclusive of elimination of external management fee due to internalization, net of expenses and exclude any potential Prop.13 tax impact and one-time expenses such as severance, office lease termination cost, etc. Estimated property-level synergies are shown as a percent of 2Q 2015 pro forma annualized revenue. Top 10 Markets. Refers to the ten markets with the greatest number of homes for each company. SWAY, the Combined Company, and SFR peers do not have the same top 10 market composition. The Combined Company’s top ten markets are Atlanta (includes Gainesville), Tampa Bay (includes Sarasota), Miami, Southern California (consists of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and Ventura), Houston, Dallas, Denver (includes Greeley, Boulder and Colorado Springs), Las Vegas, Orlando (includes Daytona Beach and Winter Haven) and Phoenix. 15
