Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 1, 2019, Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and among the Company, Steadfast Apartment REIT III Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, and Steadfast Apartment Advisor III, LLC, the Company’s affiliated external advisor. The Amendment renews the term of the Advisory Agreement, effective as of February 5, 2019, for an additional one-year term ending on February 5, 2020.
The material terms of the Amendment described herein are qualified in their entirety by the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.







Item 8.01
Other Events.
Suspension of DRIP
As previously disclosed, on August 31, 2018, the Company terminated its primary offering of up to $1,000,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, but continued to offer shares of Class A, Class T and Class R common stock pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”). The Company has decided to not renew state registrations of the DRIP for an additional year, and, therefore, will suspend the DRIP with respect to distributions that accrue after February 1, 2019. As a result, all distributions that accrue in February 2019 will be paid in cash and not reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s board of directors may in the future reinstate the DRIP, although there is no assurance as to if or when this will happen, and such reinstatement will not happen unless and until the Company registers the DRIP in every state in which it offers or sells its shares of common stock.
Stockholder Letter
The Company is furnishing a letter to its stockholders on or about February 7, 2019 (the “Stockholder Letter”), that provides notice of the DRIP suspension. The Stockholder Letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein solely for the purposes of this Item 8.01 disclosure.
