As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc.

As described under Item 5.07 below, on January 26, 2021, the Companys stockholders approved the Merger (as defined herein) contemplated by the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting (as defined below).

At such time, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the separate existence of the Company and OP I ceased.
At the effective time of the Company Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of the Companys common stock (or a fraction thereof), $0.01 par value per share (REIT I Common Stock), converted into 1.22423 shares of Resource REITs common stock, $0.01 par value per share (Resource REIT Common Stock) and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of the Companys convertible stock, $0.01 par value per share (REIT I Convertible Stock), converted into the right to receive $0.02 in cash, without interest.
At the effective time of the Partnership Merger, (i) each common unit of partnership interests in OP I outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger converted into the right to receive 1.22423 common units of partnership interest in OP II and (ii) each Series A Cumulative Participating Redeemable Preferred Unit in OP I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Partnership Merger converted into the right to receive one Series A Cumulative Participating Redeemable Preferred Unit in OP II.
The combined company after the Merger will be known as Resource REIT, Inc. The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
