Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

~~As of June 30, 2021~~

March 31, 2022

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1: Organization

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on March 26, 2009. Our primary purposes are to acquire, own, operate, improve and manage multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned and operated 58119 multifamily apartment properties that contain ~~16,261~~35,498 units across non-gateway U.S. markets including Atlanta, Columbus,

Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, ~~Raleigh,~~Oklahoma City, and ~~Tampa.~~Raleigh. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP (“IROP”), of which we are the sole general partner.

As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, IROP and their subsidiaries.

On July 26, 2021, we, together with IROP, and IRSTAR Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRT (“IRT Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (“STAR”) and its operating partnership, Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“STAR OP”). Consummation of the mergers provided for in the Merger Agreement (which we refer to collectively as the “STAR Merger”) was subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, receipt of IRT stockholder approval and STAR stockholder approval, which occurred on December 13, 2021. The STAR Merger closed on December 16, 2021. For further discussion, see Note 3: IRT and STAR Merger included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 included in our ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of IROP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, IROP is considered a variable interest entity toof which we are the primary beneficiary. As our significant asset is our investment in IROP, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of IROP.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit

Table of Contents

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2022

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250 per institution. We mitigate credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. To date, we have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

e. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrows of our funds held by lenders to fund certain expenditures, such as real estate taxes and insurance, or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events. As of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$6,441~~$26,789 and ~~$4,864,~~$29,699, respectively, of restricted cash.

f. Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs, including internal costs, that both add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in real estate are classified as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met including when ~~management commits to a plan to sell, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated,~~ the sale of the asset is probable, and actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan of sale will be made or the plan of sale will be withdrawn.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

~~The~~

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, the properties we acquire are generally accounted for as asset acquisitions. Under asset acquisition accounting, the costs to acquire real estate, including transaction costs related to the acquisition, are accumulated and then allocated to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair value. T~~ransaction~~Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related financing.

We estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including the terms of the leases that are in place and assumed lease-up periods. The value assigned to in-place lease assets is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we ~~acquired~~did not acquire any in-place ~~leases with a value of $757, as part of related property acquisitions that are discussed further in Note 3.~~leases. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded ~~$439~~$29,082 and ~~$835,~~$396, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible ~~assets.~~assets acquired in the STAR Merger. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020, we recorded $186~~March 31, 2022 and ~~$557, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets. For the three and six months ended June 30,~~ 2021, we ~~wrote-off~~did not write-off any fully amortized intangible ~~assets of $792 and $792, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $503 and $950, respectively.~~assets. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place intangible assets of ~~$714~~$24,187 for the remainder of ~~2021.~~

2022.

Business Combinations

For properties we acquire or transactions we entered into that are accounted for as business combinations, we apply the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, which requires the identification of the acquiror, the determination date, and the recognition and measurement, at fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent that the fair value of net assets acquired differs from the fair value of consideration paid, ASC 805 requires the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase price, if any. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $1,895. These amounts were expensed as incurred, and are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the item titled "Merger and integration costs", and primarily consist of advisory fees, employee severance costs, and attorneys fees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management reviews our long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value when there is an indicator of impairment. An impairment charge is recorded when it is determined that the carrying

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2022

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

value of the asset exceeds the fair value. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for ~~equipment~~furniture, fixtures, and ~~fixtures.~~equipment. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded ~~$16,324~~$49,092 and ~~$32,480~~$16,156 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, we ~~recorded $15,045~~wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $1,160 and ~~$29,502 of depreciation expense,~~$1,506, respectively.

Casualty ~~Loss~~

Related Costs

Occasionally, we incur losses at our communities from wind storms, floods, fires and similar hazards. Sometimes, a portion of these losses are not fully covered by our insurance policies due to deductibles. In these cases, we estimate the carrying value of the damaged property and record a casualty loss for the difference between the estimated carrying value and the insurance proceeds. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is recorded in other income when the proceeds are received. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $1,393 of net casualty gains and incurred ~~$0 and~~ $359 of casualty losses, respectively.

g. Investments in ~~unconsolidated~~Real Estate Under Development

We capitalize direct and indirect project costs incurred during the development period such as construction, insurance, architectural, legal, interest costs, and real estate ~~entities~~

taxes. At such time as the development is considered substantially complete, the capitalization of certain indirect costs such as real estate taxes, interest costs, and all project-related costs in real estate under development are reclassified to investments in real estate.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of our investments in real estate under development totaled $48,959 and $41,777, respectively, and was recorded as a separate line item on the face of our consolidated balance sheet.

h. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

We invest in joint ventures in which we exercise significant influence but do not control the major decisions of the joint venture. Therefore, we account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the ~~investment is~~investments are carried at cost plus our share of net earnings or losses. As of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ the carrying value of our investments in joint ventures totaled ~~$10,205~~$43,541 and ~~$0,~~$24,999, respectively, and ~~was~~were recorded as a separate line item on the face of our consolidated balance sheet. We recognized ~~0 income or~~ losses of $63 and $0 from equity method investments during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~2020.~~

h.these losses were recorded in other income (expense), net on the face of our consolidated statements of operations. For more information on our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, see Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Current Developments – Capital Recycling."

i. Revenue and Expenses

Rental and ~~other property revenue~~

Other Property Revenue

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” with respect to our accounting for rental income. We primarily lease apartment units under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental payments are generally due monthly and rental revenues are recognized on an accrual basis when earned. We have elected to account for lease (i.e. fixed payments including base rent) and non-lease components (i.e. tenant reimbursements and certain other service fees) as a single combined operating lease component since (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components is the same, (2) the lease component is the predominant element, and (3) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.

Table of Contents

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2022

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

We make ongoing estimates of the collectability of our base rents, tenant reimbursements, and other service fees included within rental and other property revenue. If collectability is not probable, we adjust rental and other property income for the amount of uncollectible revenue.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our residents have experienced difficulty making rent payments and, as a result, our rent receivables have increased compared to historical levels. This caused us to further evaluate collectability and we recorded $78 and $125 provision for bad debts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, ~~respectively,~~ to appropriately reflect management’s estimate for uncollectible accounts. The provision for bad debts was recorded as a reduction to rental and other property income in our consolidated statements of operations. The total adjustment to rental and other property income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $590 and $1,023, respectively. The total adjustment to rental and other property income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $751 and $1,088, respectively.

To support our residents that were economically impacted and unable to pay their rent in full during 2020, we offered residents deferred rent payment plans whereby the resident could defer between 25% and 75% of their monthly rent for between one and three months. Residents were required to provide evidence of financial hardship and commit to a full 12-month lease term, which provided a longer period over which the deferred rent could be repaid. We accounted for the deferred payment plans as if no change had been made to the original lease agreement and continued to recognize rental income while increasing lease receivables from residents. As of June 30, 2021, deferred rents receivable from residents totaled $12.

Advertising Expenses

For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, we recognized revenues of $19~~March 31, 2022 and $41, respectively, related to recoveries of lost rental revenue due to natural disasters and other insurable events from our insurance providers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized revenues of $148 and $151, respectively, related to recoveries of lost rental revenue due to natural disasters and other insurable events from our insurance providers.

~~Advertising Expenses~~

~~For the three and six months ended June 30,~~ 2021, we incurred ~~$636~~$1,272 and ~~$1,180~~$544 of advertising expenses, respectively. ~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $551 and $1,160 of advertising expenses, respectively.~~

j. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, we measure each derivative instrument at fair value and record such amounts in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. For derivatives not designated as hedges (or designated as fair value hedges), the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. Any derivatives that we designate in hedge relationships are done so at inception. At inception, we determine whether or not the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the designated interest rate risk associated with the identified indebtedness using regression analysis. At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and use the hypothetical derivative method to measure any ineffectiveness.

k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•

~~Level 1~~: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.•

~~Level 2~~: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.•

~~Level 3~~: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest

level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Given that cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are short term in nature with limited fair value volatility, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value and the fair value input is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value input for the derivatives is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value inputs for our unsecured credit facility and term loans are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique. As this technique utilizes current credit spreads, which are generally unobservable, this is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We determine appropriate credit spreads based on the type of debt and its maturity. There were 0no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the fair value of our financial instruments as of the periods indicated:

l. Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are deferred and classified within indebtedness and charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements, under the effective interest method.

m. Office Leases

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those leases with terms of less than a year. We lease corporate office space under leases with terms of up to 10 years and that may include extension options, but that do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we have ~~$2,457~~$2,808 of operating lease right-of-use assets and ~~$2,803~~$3,139 of operating lease liabilities related to our corporate office leases. The operating lease right-of-use assets are presented within other assets and the operating lease liabilities are presented within other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. We recorded ~~$166 and $338~~$461 of total operating lease expense during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, which is recorded within property management expense and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

n. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, we recorded 0no income tax expense for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~

2021.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

~~n. Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Below is a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements.~~

~~Adopted Within these Financial Statements~~

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, we have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

The following table contains summary information concerning our ~~unsecured credit facility to extinguish a property mortgage totaling $5,975. The property mortgage had a weighted-average rate~~indebtedness as of ~~5.7%.~~

On April 5, 2021, we drew down on our unsecured credit facility to extinguish a property mortgage and made partial paydowns on another mortgage totaling $13,666. The property mortgages had a weighted-average rate of 4.2%.

On May 18, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provided for a $550,000 unsecured credit facility (the “Facility) that consists of a $350,000 revolving line of credit (the “Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit”) and a new $200,000 senior term loan (the “New Unsecured Term Loan”). Additionally, we have the right to increase the aggregate amount of the Facility to up to $600,000, subject to certain terms and conditions. The maturity date on borrowings outstanding under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit is May 9, 2023, subject to our option to extend the revolving commitment for two additional 6-month periods under certain circumstances, including a payment of an extension fee. The maturity date on the New Unsecured Term Loan is May 18, 2026. We may prepay the Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment fee or penalty. At our option, borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 125 to 200 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 25 to 100 basis points and borrowings under the New Unsecured Term Loan will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 120 to 190 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 20 to 90 basis points. The applicable margin is determined based upon our total consolidated leverage ratio. Substantially all of the proceeds of the New Unsecured Term Loan were applied at closing to repay the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility established under the prior credit agreement. We recognized the refinance of the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit as a modification of debt. The New Unsecured Term Loan was accounted for as an issuance of new debt. We incurred upfront costs of $1,200 associated with this transaction.

Effective interest rate swaps and caps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, and the fair value of these hedge agreements is recorded as derivative assets or liabilities on the face of our consolidated balance sheet.

For our interest rate swap and collars that are considered highly effective hedges, we reclassified realized losses of ~~$1,555 and $3,013~~$1,805 to earnings within interest expense for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021, respectively,~~March 31, 2022, and we expect ~~$8,824~~$1,295 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next 12 months.

NOTE 6: Stockholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

Stockholders’ Equity

On March ~~15, 2021,~~14, 2022, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share on our common stock, which was paid on April ~~23, 2021~~22, 2022 to common stockholders of record as of April ~~2, 2021.~~

~~On June 14, 2021, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share on our common stock, which was paid on July 23, 2021 to common stockholders of record as of July 2, 2021.~~

~~During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we also paid $4 and $278, respectively, of dividends on restricted common share awards that vested during the period.~~

1, 2022.

On November 13, 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000 (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis. ~~During the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half of 2021, we sold 2,932,000 shares on a~~We entered into forward ~~basis~~sale transactions under the ATM ~~program. On June 29,~~Program on November 1, 2021 and on March 7, 2022 each for the forward sale of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. Neither of the forward sale transactions ~~were all~~has settled as of March 31, 2022. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically ~~settled~~settle the forward sale transactions by their respective maturity dates of December 15, 2022 and ~~we issued 2,932,000 shares~~March 31, 2023. As of ~~common stock~~March 31, 2022, approximately $56,836 remained available for ~~a total~~issuance under the ATM Program.

The following table summarizes our unsettled sales transactions under the ATM Program as of ~~$41,671 in net proceeds.~~

March 31, 2022.


During the Three Months Ended	Number of Shares Sold	Current Forward Price		Estimated Net Proceeds		Expiration Date of Forward Contract
December 31, 2021	676,500	$	23.59	$	15,956	December 15, 2022

Total	2,000,000			$	50,238

We evaluated the accounting for the forward sale transactions under FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. As the forward sale transactions are considered indexed to our own equity and since they meet the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25, the forward sale transactions have been classified as equity.

We have submitted Articles of Amendment to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, from 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 and expect such Amendment to be effective July 27, 2021.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, holders of IROP units exchanged ~~122,155~~10,848 units for ~~122,155~~10,848 shares of our common stock. As of ~~June 30, 2021, 552,360~~March 31, 2022, 6,970,993 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remain outstanding.

On March ~~15, 2021,~~14, 2022, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per unit, which was paid on April ~~23, 2021~~22, 2022 to IROP LP ~~unitholders~~unit holders of record as of April ~~2, 2021.~~

~~On June 14, 2021, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per unit, which was paid on July 23, 2021 to IROP LP unitholders of record as of July 2, 2021.~~

NOTE 7: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

In May 2016, our shareholders approved and our board of directors adopted an amended and restated Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which provides for the grants of awards to our employees, officers, directors, trustees, consultants or advisors (and those of our affiliates). The Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”), non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), dividend equivalents and other stock- or cash-based awards. In conjunction with the amendment, the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Incentive Plan was increased to 4,300,000 shares and the term of the incentive plan was extended to May 12, 2026.

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Under the Incentive Plan, we have granted restricted shares, RSUs, and PSUs to our employees. These awards generally vest or vested over a ~~two- to~~two-to four-year period. In addition, we have granted unrestricted shares to our non-employee directors. These awards generally vest or vested immediately. A summary of restricted common share award and RSU activity is presented below.

(1)			The outstanding award ~~balance~~balances above ~~included 135,366~~include 163,348 and 67,381 RSUs as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

On February ~~18, 2021,~~8, 2022, our compensation committee awarded ~~254,493~~198,099 PSUs to our ~~named~~ executive officers. The number of PSUs earned will be based on attainment of certain performance criteria over a three-year period, with the actual number of shares issuable ranging between 00% and 150% of the number of PSUs granted. Half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, immediately following the end of the three-year performance period; the remaining half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, after an additional one-year period of service.

As of December 31, 2021, 2019 PSU awards were earned at 150% of target. These units constitute 50% of the earned 2019 PSUs, which generally remain subject to service-based vesting until December 31, 2022. The other 50% of the earned 2019 PSUs were distributable immediately following the end of the performance period.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ a portion of the RSUs and PSUs granted were issued to employees who are retirement eligible. The fact that the grantees are retirement eligible resulted in immediate recognition of the associated stock-based compensation expense totaling $2,422 and $2,112, ~~and $1,667,~~ respectively.

NOTE 9: Other Disclosures

~~Risks and Uncertainties~~

Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties is the duration and scope of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted businesses and slowed economic activity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made operational and policy changes to: (1) comply with governmental mandates, including eviction moratoria, on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis; (2) protect our employees, residents, and prospective residents; and (3) minimize the adverse financial impact to us. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors, many of which are not within management’s control, and that we are unable to predict at this time, including but not limited to: (1) the duration and scope of the pandemic; (2) the pandemic’s impact on current and future economic activity; and (3) the actions of governments, businesses and individuals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Litigation

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Loss Contingencies

We record an accrual for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these accruals quarterly and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, management does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of an earlier accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then management discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If we cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then a statement to that effect is disclosed.

~~NOTE 10: Subsequent Events~~

~~Agreement and Plan~~Table of ~~Merger~~Contents

On the terms, and subject to the conditions of, the Merger Agreement, STAR will merge with and into IRT Merger Sub (the “REIT Merger”), with IRT Merger Sub surviving the REIT Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRT; and immediately thereafter,

~~STAR OP will merge with and into IROP (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the REIT Merger, the “Mergers”), with IROP surviving the Partnership Merger.~~

In the REIT Merger, each outstanding share of STAR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“STAR common stock”) will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.905 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a newly issued share of IRT common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“IRT common stock”). In the Partnership Merger, each outstanding unit of limited partnership of STAR OP (each, an “STAR OP common unit”) will be converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio of a newly issued common unit of limited partnership of IROP (each, an “IROP common unit”). Under the agreement of limited partnership of IROP, IRT common unitholders may generally tender their IRT common units, in whole or in part, to IROP for redemption for a cash amount based on the then market price of an equivalent number of shares of IRT common stock, and IRT may thereupon elect, at its option, to satisfy the redemption by issuing 1 share of IRT common stock for each IROP common unit tendered for redemption.

Through the Mergers, STAR stockholders will receive, in aggregate, in exchange for their shares of STAR common stock, approximately 99.8 million shares of IRT common stock and limited partners in STAR OP will receive, in aggregate, in exchange for their STAR OP Units, approximately 6.4 million IROP common units.

Consummation of the Mergers is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, receipt of IRT stockholder approval and STAR stockholder approval, and is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021.

During the ~~REIT Merger, the “Mergers”), with IROP surviving the Partnership Merger.~~

In the REIT Merger, each outstanding share of STAR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“STAR common stock”) will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.905 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a newly issued share of IRT common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“IRT common stock”). In the Partnership Merger, each outstanding unit of limited partnership of STAR OP (each, an “STAR OP common unit”) will be converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio of a newly issued common unit of limited partnership of IROP (each, an “IROP common unit”). Under the agreement of limited partnership of IROP, IRT common unitholders may generally tender their IRT common units, in whole or in part, to IROP for redemptionthree months ended March 31, 2022, we sold four communities for a ~~cash amount based on the then market~~gross sales price of ~~an equivalent number~~$158.0 million and recognized a gain on sale of ~~shares of IRT common stock, and IRT may thereupon elect, at its option, to satisfy the redemption by issuing one share of IRT common stock for each IROP common unit tendered for redemption.~~

$94.7 million.

Capital Recycling

Our capital recycling program consists of disposing of assets in markets where we lack scale and/or markets where management believes that growth is slowing.

~~In May 2021, we purchased a 272-unit located in Charlotte, NC for $66.5 million.~~

~~In June 2021, we purchased a 322-unit located in McKinney, TX for $73.4 million.~~

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had ~~one property~~two properties that ~~was~~were classified as held for sale. We expect the sale of ~~this property~~these properties to close in the ~~third quarter~~second half of ~~2021.~~

2022.

On April 6, 2022, we purchased, for $25.4 million, the Views of Music City (Phase 1), a 96-unit community in Nashville, TN, from one of our unconsolidated joint ventures (discussed below). On account of our equity interest in this joint venture, we received $4.4 million of the sales proceeds, comprised of $3.4 million as a return of capital and $1.0 million as a preferred return on capital.

Investment in ~~unconsolidated real estate entities~~

Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

To create another avenue for accretive capital allocation and to increase our options for capital investment, we are exploring preferred equity investments and joint venture relationships, focused on new multifamily development.

In June 2021, we closed on ~~our initial investment in~~ a joint venture to develop a 402-unit community in Richmond, ~~VA, which is expected~~VA. We expect the development to be completed in the first half of 2023. ~~Our initial investment~~As of March 31, 2022, we had fully funded our equity commitment to this project in the amount of $16.8 million.

In September 2021, we formed a joint venture to acquire and own the Views of Music City (comprised of Phase 1 and Phase 2) and The Jackson, each a multifamily community in Nashville, TN. As discussed above, on April 6, 2022, we purchased Phase 1 of the Views of Music City (comprised of 96 units), following completion of its development, from the joint venture. We expect Phase 2 of the Views of Music City development (comprised of 209 units) to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. We expect development of The Jackson (comprised of 199 units) to be completed by year-end 2022.

On March 31, 2022, we formed a joint venture to acquire and own a project comprised of 400 single family home rental units in Huntsville, AL. Development of phase one of this project (comprised of 178 homes) was ~~$10.2~~completed in 2021. Upon acquisition of phase one by the joint venture, 85% of the homes were leased. We expect phase two of the project (comprised of 222 homes) to be completed during the second quarter of 2022. We have committed to invest an aggregate $37.1 million in this joint venture, and, ~~we are expecting to contribute a total~~as of March 31, 2022, had funded $16.4 million inon account of this commitment.

~~Value add initiatives, comprised of~~opportunity to improve long-term growth through targeted unit renovations ~~and upgrades~~ at ~~selected~~ communities ~~to drive increased rental rates, remain a core component of our longer-term growth strategy. As of June 30, 2021, we had identified 7,076~~where there is the potential for outsized rent growth.

We completed renovations on 143 units ~~across 23 properties for renovations and upgrades as part~~during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. From inception of our value add ~~initiative. As of June 30, 2021,~~program in January 2018 through March 2022, we ~~had renovated 4,089~~completed renovations on 4,815 of the ~~7,076~~10,445 units, ~~at an average cost per unit~~achieving a

Table of ~~$12,789 and achieved a~~ Contents

return on ~~our total renovation costs for these units~~investment of ~~17.1%~~18.8% (and approximately ~~19.3%~~22.2% on the interior portion of such renovation costs) an average monthly rental increase of 21.4%. We compute return on cost by using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the applicable renovation costs per unit and we compute the rent premium as the difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit and the market rent for a comparable unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We expect to complete the remaining value add projects at the selected communities throughout ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2022.~~

Capital Markets

~~New Term Loan~~

On May 18, 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provided for a $550.0 million unsecured credit facility (the “Facility”) that consists of a $350.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit”) and a new $200.0 million senior term loan (“the New Unsecured Term Loan”). Additionally, we have the right to increase the aggregate amount of the Facility to up to $600.0 million, subject to certain terms and conditions. The maturity date on borrowings outstanding under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit is May 9, 2023, subject to our option to extend the revolving commitment for two additional 6-month periods under certain circumstances, including a payment of an extension fee. The maturity date on the New Unsecured Term Loan is May 18, 2026. We may prepay the Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment fee or penalty. At our option, borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 125 to 200 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 25 to 100 basis points and borrowings under the New Unsecured Term Loan will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 120 to 190 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 20 to 90 basis points. The applicable margin is determined based upon our total consolidated leverage ratio. Substantially all of the proceeds of the New Unsecured Term Loan were applied at closing to repay the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility established under the prior credit agreement. We recognized the refinance of the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit as a modification of debt. The New Unsecured Term Loan was accounted for as an issuance of new debt. We incurred upfront costs of $1.2 million associated with this transaction.

Forward Sale Agreements

Table of 2020 and the first half of 2021, we sold 2.9 million shares on a forward basis under the ATM program. On June 29, 2021, we physically settled all associated forward contracts and issued 2.9 million shares of common stock for a total of $41.7 million in proceeds.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2022, we owned and consolidated 119 multifamily apartment properties, of which 113 comprised the Combined Same-Store Portfolio. We discuss below, under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," our methodology for categorizing our 119 properties, as applicable, into IRT Same-Store Portfolio (48 properties as of March 31, 2022), STAR Same-Store Portfolio (65 properties as of March 31, 2022) and Combined Same-Store Portfolio (113 properties as of March 31, 2022). Because of substantial changes in our total property portfolio as the result of the STAR Merger that closed on December 16, 2021, the financial data presented below show significant changes in revenue and expenses from period-to-period.

(1)Represents metrics of the STAR Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the period of ownership prior to the consummation of the STAR Merger on December 16, 2021 and is presented for the purpose of reconciling combined same-store results to the consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Revenue from rental and other property revenue of the consolidated portfolio increased ~~$5.2~~$95.2 million to ~~$57.3~~$150.0 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$52.1~~$54.8 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the STAR Merger, which contributed a ~~$4.1 million increase in same store~~pre-merger revenue base of $81.1 million. In addition, there was year-over-year rental and other property revenue growth of $14.0 million, driven primarily by a ~~3.9%~~10.4% increase in average effective monthly rents and ~~a 300-basis point increase in average occupancy~~higher other property revenue compared to the prior year period. In addition, there was a $1.1 million increase in non-same store rental and other property revenue primarily driven by our recent property acquisitions having a higher average effective rent per unit and higher occupancy than recent property dispositions.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased ~~$1.3~~$35.0 million to ~~$22.3~~$55.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$21.0~~$20.8 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the STAR Merger, which contributed a ~~$1.3 million increase in same store~~pre-merger property operating ~~expenses driven by an increase in repairs and maintenance as repair and maintenance projects were delayed in 2020 due to the pandemic.~~expense base of $33.6 million.

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased ~~$0.1~~$3.6 million to ~~$2.2~~$5.5 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$2.1~~$1.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021 as a result of higher costs associated with employees that joined IRT in connection with the STAR Merger.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased ~~$0.7~~$2.0 million to ~~$4.2~~$7.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$3.6~~$5.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to anthe increase in ~~compensation expense, stock-based compensation, and other corporate office expenses compared to~~costs associated with the ~~prior year.~~employees that joined IRT in connection with the STAR Merger.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased ~~$1.6~~$61.6 million to ~~$16.8~~$78.2 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$15.2~~$16.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to ~~a $1.0~~higher depreciation and amortization, including approximately $20.0 million ~~increase~~of amortization of in-place lease intangibles, from properties acquired in ~~depreciation expense at our value add properties for~~the STAR Merger.

Casualty (gains) losses, net. During the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 compared to~~March 31, 2022, we recognized net casualty gains of $1,393 as a result of receiving insurance proceeds in excess of losses incurred. During the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, we incurred casualty losses incurred of $359 related to severe winter storms at our Texas and ~~$0.6 million in depreciation expense for properties acquired since June 30, 2020.~~Oklahoma properties.

Interest expense. Interest expense ~~decreased $0.6~~increased $12.1 million to ~~$8.6~~$20.5 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$9.2~~$8.4 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020. The decrease was~~March 31, 2021 primarily due to ~~lower interest rates~~the assumption of debt in connection with the STAR merger.

Gain on sale of real estate assets, net.During the three months ended March 31, 2022, four multi-family properties were sold resulting in gains of $94.7 million.

Merger and integration costs. We incurred approximately $1.9 million of STAR merger-related integration costs during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.~~

~~Revenue~~

~~Rental~~March 31, 2022. These costs primarily consist of payroll and severance costs for transitional employees, IT merger costs, and other ~~property revenue. Revenue from rental~~migration and ~~other property revenue~~integration costs.

Table of the consolidated portfolio increased $8.9 million to $112.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $103.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.9 million increase in same store rental and other property revenue driven by a 3.4% increase in average effective monthly rents and a 280-basis point increase in average occupancy compared to the prior year period. In addition, there was a $2.0 million increase in non-same store rental and other property revenue primarily driven by our recent property acquisitions having a higher average effective rent per unit and higher occupancy than recent property dispositions.Contents

~~Expenses~~

~~Property operating expenses~~. Property operating expenses increased $2.4 million to $43.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $40.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in the same store property operating expenses, primarily related to an increase in repairs and maintenance, property insurance, utilities, contract services, and personnel costs during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

~~Property management expenses.~~ ~~Property management expenses decreased $0.1 million to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.~~

~~General and administrative expenses.~~ General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in compensation expense, primarily due to higher stock based compensation expense driven by our higher stock price and a higher volatility assumption used in valuing the performance share units awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

~~Depreciation and amortization expense~~. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.2 million to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.1 million increase in depreciation expense at our value add properties for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $1.1 million in depreciation expense for properties acquired since June 30, 2020.

~~Interest expense~~. Interest expense decreased $1.8 million to $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations (FFO) and Core Funds from Operations (CFFO)

We believe that FFO and Core FFO (“CFFO”), each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

~~We updated our definition of CFFO during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the definition described below. All prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current CFFO definition.~~

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as merger and integration costs, casualty losses, abandoned deal costs and debt extinguishment costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our

investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income ~~(loss)~~ to FFO and CFFO for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Same-Store Portfolio Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expenses, depreciation and amortization, property management expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income insofar as the measure reflects only operating income and expense at the property level. We use NOI to evaluate performance on a ~~same store~~same-store and ~~non-same store~~non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses, financing expenses, and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our ~~same store~~same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the ~~same store~~same-store portfolio if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held-for-sale or have been sold are excluded from the ~~same store~~same-store portfolio. Because our portfolio of properties changed significantly as the result of our STAR Merger, which closed on December 16, 2021, we also present, as described below, information on the IRT Same-Store Portfolio, STAR Same-Store Portfolio and Combined Same-Store Portfolio.

IRT Same-Store Portfolio

IRT Same-Store Portfolio represents the 48 properties that IRT owned and consolidated as of January 1, 2021 and through March 31, 2022 (other than properties held for sale as of March 31, 2022).

STAR Same-Store Portfolio

STAR Same-Store Portfolio represents the 65 properties that STAR owned and consolidated as of January 1, 2021 and that, following the consummation of the Merger on December 16, 2021, continued to be owned and consolidated by IRT through March 31, 2022 (other than properties held for sale as of March 31, 2022).

Combined Same-Store Portfolio

Combined Same-Store Portfolio represents the combination of the IRT Same-Store Portfolio and the STAR Same-Store Portfolio considered as a single portfolio of 113 properties.

Pre-Merger STAR Portfolio NOI

In order to reconcile Combined Same-Store NOI to net income for periods prior to our December 16, 2021 merger with STAR, our reconciliation excludes NOI generated by the STAR Portfolio because IRT did not own these properties prior to December 16, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs.

~~Risks Relating to the Mergers~~

~~The Mergers may not be~~consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all. Consummation of the Mergers is subject to many conditions and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Mergers will not be consummated, which could adversely affect the businesses of IRT, and, in certain circumstances, result in the requirement that IRT pay a termination fee or certain expense reimbursement.

Consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain conditions, including: (1) the receipt of required approvals from IRT’s common stockholders and from STAR’s common stockholders, (2) the authorization for listing of the shares of IRT common stock to be issued in the Mergers or reserved for issuance in connection therewith on the New York Stock Exchange, (3) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 that IRT will file with the SEC, (4) the absence of any order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Mergers or any law that makes the consummation of the Mergers illegal, (5) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties, subject in most cases to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications, (6) material compliance with each party’s covenants (7) the receipt by each of IRT and STAR of an opinion to the effect that the Company Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and of an opinion as to the qualification of IRT and STAR, respectively, as a REIT under the Code and (8) the receipt of certain lender consents.

IRT cannot provide assurance that the conditions to consummation of the Mergers will be satisfied or waived, and accordingly, that the Mergers will be consummated on the terms or timeline that the parties anticipate, or at all. IRT or STAR may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other reasons, if the Mergers are not consummated by January 31, 2022.

~~Failure to consummate the Mergers may adversely affect IRT’s results of operations, financial condition and business prospects for many reasons, including, among others:~~

•

IRT will have incurred substantial costs relating to the Mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees and integration costs that have already been incurred or will continue to be incurred until the closing of the Mergers, which could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to its stockholders and to pay the principal of and interest on its outstanding indebtedness;

•

the Mergers, whether or not they close, will divert the attention of the management of IRT instead of enabling them to more fully pursue other opportunities that could be beneficial to IRT, without realizing any of the benefits of having consummated the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

•

any reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully consummate the Mergers. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified therein, IRT may be required to pay the STAR parties a $74.0 million termination fee and expense reimbursement of up to $10 million.

~~The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the price of IRT’s common stock or in the relative values of IRT and STAR.~~

At the effective time of the Company Merger, each issued and outstanding share of STAR common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.905 newly issued shares of IRT common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. At the effective time of the Partnership Merger, each issued and outstanding unit of STAR OP will be converted into the right to receive 0.905 common units of IRT OP. The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of IRT common stock or in the relative values of IRT and STAR. The price of IRT common stock at the closing of the Mergers may vary from its price on July 26, 2021, the date the Merger Agreement was executed. Changes in IRT’s common stock price prior to consummation of the Mergers will affect the market value of the merger consideration, which may be more or less than the fair value of STAR’s net assets on the closing date. Changes in IRT’s common stock price may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond the control of IRT), including the following factors:

•

~~changes in IRT’s business, operations, assets, liabilities or prospects;~~

•

~~changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of IRT and STAR;~~

•

~~market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will be consummated;~~

•

~~interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the price of IRT common stock;~~

•

~~federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments in the businesses in which IRT operates; and~~

•

~~other factors beyond the control of IRT or STAR, including those described under this heading “Risk Factors.”~~

~~The pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect the business and operations of IRT and STAR.~~

In connection with the pending Mergers, current and prospective employees of IRT and STAR may experience uncertainty about their future roles with IRT following the Mergers, which may materially adversely affect the ability of each of IRT and STAR to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Mergers. In addition, due to operating covenants in the Merger Agreement, each of IRT and STAR may be unable (without the other party’s prior written consent), during the pendency of the Mergers, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial. Similarly some current or prospective operators or vendors of each of IRT and STAR may delay or defer decisions, which could adversely affect the revenues, earnings, funds from operations, cash flows and expenses of IRT and STAR, regardless of whether the Mergers are consummated.

~~The Mergers and related transactions are subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by stockholders of both IRT and STAR.~~

In order for the Mergers to be consummated, STAR common stockholders must approve the Company Merger, which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of STAR common stock entitled to vote on such proposal. In addition, IRT common stockholders must approve the issuance of IRT common stock in the Mergers by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the votes cast on such proposal. This approval by IRT stockholders is required under applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules.

~~IRT stockholders will be significantly diluted by the Mergers.~~

The Mergers will significantly dilute the ownership position of IRT stockholders. Upon consummation of the Mergers, based on the shares of IRT common stock and STAR common stock outstanding as of July 26, 2021, we estimate that legacy IRT stockholders will own approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of IRT common stock (on a fully diluted basis), and legacy STAR stockholders will own approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of IRT common stock (on a fully diluted basis). IRT may also issue additional shares of common stock or preferred stock in the future, which would create further dilution. Consequently, IRT stockholders, as a general matter, will have less influence over the management and policies of IRT after the effective time of the Mergers than they currently exercise over the management and policies of IRT.

~~The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquiror of IRT or could result in any competing proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.~~

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict the ability of each of IRT and STAR to initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or facilitate competing third-party proposals to effect, among other things, a merger, reorganization, share sale, share exchange, asset sale, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving any purchase or sale of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of IRT or STAR. In addition, either IRT or STAR generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to any competing “acquisition proposal” that may be made to the other party before the board of directors of such other party may withdraw or modify its recommendation in response to such competing acquisition proposal or may terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into such a competing acquisition proposal. In some circumstances, on termination of the Merger Agreement, one of the parties may be required to pay a substantial termination fee ($74.0 million if the fee is payable by IRT to the STAR parties and $74.0 million if the fee is payable by STAR to the IRT parties) and expense reimbursement of up to $10 million.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of IRT from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the value expected to be received by IRT through the Mergers, or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower price for IRT than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.

~~The Mergers will result in changes to the board of directors and management that may affect the strategy and operations of the combined company.~~

Upon consummation of the Mergers, Scott F. Schaeffer, currently our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will continue in these positions for the combined company; James J. Sebra, currently our Chief Financial Officer, will continue in this position for the combined company; Farrell M. Ender, currently our President, will continue in this position for the combined company; Jessica K. Norman, currently our Executive Vice President and General Counsel, will serve as Chief Legal Officer of the combined company; and Ella S. Neyland, currently STAR’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, will serve as Chief Operating Officer of the combined company. In addition, upon consummation of the Mergers, the board of directors of the combined company will be comprised of the following five incumbent directors of our board of directors and the following five incumbent directors of STAR’s board of directors: Scott F. Schaeffer, Richard D. Gebert, Melinda H. McClure, DeForest Blake Soaries Jr. and Lisa Washington; and Stephen R. Bowie, Ned W. Brines, Ana Marie del Rio, Ella S. Neyland and Thomas H. Purcell, respectively. This new composition of the board of directors and executive management team may affect the combined company’s business strategy and operating decisions following the closing of the Mergers. In addition, there can be no assurances that the new board of directors and executive management team will function effectively as a team and that there will not be any adverse effects on the combined company’s business as a result.

An adverse outcome in any litigation or other legal proceedings relating to the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, could have a material adverse impact on the businesses of IRT and STAR and their ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Transactions similar to the Mergers are frequently the subject of litigation or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that either parties’ board of directors breached their respective duties to their stockholders or other equity holders by entering into a merger agreement, by failing to obtain a greater value in the transaction for their stockholders or other equity holders or otherwise or any other claims (contractual or otherwise) arising out of a merger or the transactions related thereto. If litigation or other legal proceedings are brought against IRT, STAR and/or their respective boards of directors or subsidiaries in connection with the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, the respective parties to the proceeding intend to defend against such actions but they may not be successful in doing so. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs and efforts of a defense, even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on IRT’s or STAR’s ability to consummate the Mergers or their respective business, results of operation or financial position, including through the possible diversion of either company’s resources or distraction of key personnel.

~~Risks Relating to the Combined Company Following the Mergers~~

~~The combined company expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.~~

The combined company expects to incur substantial expenses in consummating the Mergers and integrating the business, operations, networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of IRT and STAR. There are a large number of systems that must be integrated or separated in connection with the Mergers, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including

leasing, billing, management information, purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll and benefits, fixed asset, lease administration and regulatory compliance. While IRT and STAR have assumed that a certain level of transaction and integration expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond their control that could affect the total amount or the timing of their integration expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. The expenses in connection with the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are expected to be significant, although the aggregate amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.

Following the Mergers, the combined company may be unable to integrate the business of STAR successfully or realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or do so within the anticipated time frame.

The Mergers involve the combination of IRT and STAR, two companies which currently operate as independent companies. In addition STAR recently completed a series of transactions to provide for the internalization of its previously externalized management functions. The combined company will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating their business practices and operations. Potential difficulties that IRT and STAR may encounter in the integration process include the following:

•

the inability to successfully combine the businesses of IRT and STAR, particularly in light of STAR’s recent internalization transactions, in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve the cost savings anticipated to result from the Mergers, which would result in some anticipated benefits of the Mergers not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;

•

~~loss of revenue as a result of certain residents of either of IRT or STAR deciding not to do business with the combined company;~~

•

~~the complexities associated with managing the combined company out of multiple locations and integrating personnel from the two companies;~~

•

~~the additional complexities of combining two companies with different histories, regulatory restrictions, markets and customer bases;~~

•

~~the failure to retain key employees of either of IRT or STAR;~~

•

~~potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated with the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and~~

•

performance shortfalls at one or both of the companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by consummating the Mergers and integrating IRT’s and STAR’s operations into the combined company.

For all these reasons, you should be aware that it is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of the combined company’s management, the disruption of the combined company’s ongoing business or inconsistencies in the combined company’s services, standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect the ability of the combined company to maintain relationships with residents, customers, vendors, joint venture partners and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, or could otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined company.

~~The combined company’s anticipated level of indebtedness will increase substantially upon consummation of the Mergers and may increase the related risks IRT now faces.~~

Upon consummation of the Mergers, the combined company intends to assume and/or refinance certain indebtedness of STAR and STAR OP and, as a result, IRT’s consolidated indebtedness will increase substantially and it will be subject to increased risks associated with debt financing, including an increased risk that IRT’s cash flows could be insufficient to meet required payments on its indebtedness or to continue to pay dividends on its common stock. On June 30, 2021, IRT had consolidated indebtedness of approximately $1.06 billion. On June 30, 2021, STAR had consolidated indebtedness of approximately $2.13 billion. Taking into account IRT’s consolidated indebtedness as of June 30, 2021, and the assumption, in the Mergers, of STAR’s consolidated indebtedness at fair value as of June 30, 2021, the pro forma total consolidated indebtedness of the combined company, as of June 30, 2021, would have been approximately $3.32 billion if the Mergers had been consummated on June 30, 2021.

~~The combined company’s increased indebtedness could have important consequences to holders of its common stock, including:~~

•

~~increasing the combined company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;~~

•

~~limiting the combined company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements;~~

•

requiring the combined company to use a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness, thereby reducing its ability to use cash flow to fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements;

•

~~limiting the combined company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and its industry and economic conditions; and~~

•

~~putting the combined company at a disadvantage compared to its competitors with less indebtedness.~~

Additionally, if the combined company defaults under a debt instrument, it will automatically be in default under any other debt instrument that has cross-default provisions and the holders of all such indebtedness may be entitled to demand its immediate repayment. If the combined company defaults under a secured debt instrument, it may lose any property securing that indebtedness.

~~The combined company may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future.~~

In connection with executing its business strategy following the Mergers, the combined company expects to evaluate the possibility of acquiring additional properties and making strategic investments, and it may elect to finance these endeavors by incurring additional indebtedness. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for the combined company following the Mergers, including hindering its ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions; limiting its ability to access the capital markets to refinance maturing debt or to fund acquisitions; limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases or other uses; making the combined company more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases; and placing the combined company at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors.

~~The combined company will depend on key personnel for its future success, and the loss of key personnel or inability to attract and retain personnel could harm the combined company’s business.~~

Five members of the current IRT board of directors and all of IRT’s executive officers will continue as members of the board of directors and executive management of the combined company. The future success of the combined company depends in large part on its ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel. The future success of the combined company also depends upon the service of IRT’s executive officers, who each have extensive market knowledge and relationships and will exercise substantial influence over the combined company’s operational, financing, acquisition and disposition activity. Among the reasons that they are important to the combined company’s success is that each has a national or regional industry reputation that is expected to attract business and investment opportunities and assist the combined company in negotiations with lenders, existing and potential residents and industry personnel.

Key employees of IRT or STAR may depart either before or after the Mergers because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or separation or a desire not to remain with the combined company following the Mergers. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the combined company, following the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will be able to retain key employees to the same extent as in the past.

The future results of the combined company will suffer if the combined company does not effectively manage its operations following the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Following the Mergers, the combined company may continue to expand its operations through additional acquisitions, development opportunities and other strategic transactions, some of which involve complex challenges. The future success of the combined company will depend, in part, upon the ability of the combined company to manage its expansion opportunities, which poses substantial challenges for the combined company to integrate new operations into its existing business in an efficient and timely manner, to successfully monitor its operations, costs, regulatory compliance and service quality and to maintain other necessary internal controls. IRT cannot assure you that following the Mergers, the combined company’s expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or that the combined company will realize its expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits.

The trading price of shares of the combined company’s common stock following the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of shares of IRT common stock before the Mergers.

If the Mergers are consummated, then, based on the number of shares of IRT common stock and STAR common stock outstanding as of July 26, 2021, immediately following consummation of the Mergers, legacy IRT stockholders will hold approximately 50% of the

outstanding shares of IRT common stock and legacy STAR stockholders will hold approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of IRT common stock. The results of operations of the combined company, as well as the trading price of IRT common stock, after the Mergers may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the trading prices of IRT common stock. These different factors include:

•

~~a greater number of shares of IRT common stock outstanding, as compared to the number of shares of IRT common stock currently outstanding;~~

•

~~different stockholders in the combined company;~~

•

~~the combined company’s increased level of indebtedness; and~~

•

~~the combined company owning different assets and maintaining different capitalizations.~~

~~Accordingly, the historical trading prices of IRT common stock and the historical financial results of IRT and STAR may not be indicative of these matters for the combined company after the Mergers.~~

~~Holders of certain outstanding indebtedness of STAR may exercise contractual rights under the respective debt agreements in connection with the Mergers.~~

STAR is a party to debt agreements that give the lenders under such agreements certain rights following a merger or change of control, including the right to demand immediate repayment upon the merger or change of control absent a waiver or consent by the applicable lenders. Loan agreements covering approximately $2.13 billion of STAR indebtedness will require lender waivers or consents for consummation of the Mergers. There is no assurance that any or all of the lenders will provide such waivers or consents and if they do not, then the aggregate amount of indebtedness that would become due and payable upon consummation of the Mergers would be substantial and could result in a material adverse effect on the combined company.

~~Counterparties to certain agreements with IRT and/or STAR may exercise contractual rights under such agreements in connection with the Mergers.~~

Each of IRT and STAR is party to certain agreements that may give the counterparty certain rights following a change of control or similar event, including in some cases the right to terminate the agreement. Under some such agreements, the Mergers may constitute a change of control of IRT or STAR, as applicable, or cause certain other triggering events and therefore the counterparty may exercise certain rights under the agreement upon the closing of the Mergers. Any such counterparty may request modifications of its agreement as a condition to granting a waiver or consent under its agreement or it may terminate or seek to terminate its agreement with IRT or STAR, as applicable, as a result of such change of control (if permitted to do so by the applicable agreement). There is no assurance that such counterparties will not exercise their rights under the agreements, including termination rights where available.

~~Risks Relating to the Status of IRT and STAR as REITs~~

~~The combined company may incur adverse tax consequences if IRT or STAR has failed or fails to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.~~

Each of IRT and STAR has operated in a manner that it believes has allowed it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code and intends to continue to do so through the time of the Mergers. The combined company intends to continue operating in such a manner following the Mergers. Neither IRT nor STAR has requested or plans to request a ruling from the IRS that it qualifies as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within the control of IRT or STAR may affect each company’s ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, each of IRT and STAR must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of its stock and the composition of its gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding any net capital gains.

The closing of the Mergers is conditioned on receipt by IRT of an opinion from Morrison & Foerster LLP to the effect that, for all taxable years commencing with STAR’s taxable year ended December 31, 2014 and through the Merger Effective Time, STAR has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and receipt by STAR of an opinion from Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP to the effect that, for all taxable years commencing with IRT’s taxable year ended December 31, 2011, IRT has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for its taxable year that includes the Merger Effective Time and future taxable years. The foregoing REIT opinions, however, will be based on the factual representations provided by IRT and STAR

to counsel and limited by the assumptions set forth therein, and are not a guarantee that IRT or STAR, in fact, has qualified, or, in the case of IRT, will continue to qualify as a REIT, nor are such opinions binding on the IRS. Moreover, as noted above, neither IRT nor STAR has requested or plans to request a ruling from the IRS that it qualifies as a REIT.

If the combined company loses its REIT status, or is determined to have lost its REIT status in a prior year, it will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce its cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends to its stockholders, because:

•

it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates for the years it did not qualify for taxation as a REIT (and, for such years, would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing its taxable income);

•

~~it could be subject to increased state and local taxes for such periods;~~

•

unless it is entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither it nor any “successor” company could elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which it was disqualified; and

•

for five years following re-election of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such re-election, it could be subject to corporate level tax with respect to any built-in gain inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.

Even if the combined company retains its REIT status, if STAR is determined to have lost its REIT status for a taxable year ending on or before the Mergers, the combined company would be subject to adverse tax consequences. This could substantially reduce the combined company’s cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay dividends to its stockholders, because, assuming that the combined company otherwise maintains its REIT qualification:

•

the combined company generally would be subject to corporate level tax with respect to the built-in gain on each asset of STAR existing at the time of the Mergers if the combined company were to dispose of the STAR asset during the five-year period following the Mergers;

•

the combined company would succeed to any earnings and profits accumulated by STAR for taxable periods that it did not qualify as a REIT, and the combined company would have to pay a special dividend before the end of the taxable year in which the Mergers close and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures (including interest payments to the IRS) to eliminate such earnings and profits (or if the combined company does not timely distribute those earnings and profits, the combined company could fail to qualify as a REIT); and

•

~~if STAR incurred any unpaid tax liabilities prior to the Mergers, those tax liabilities would be transferred to the combined company as a result of the Mergers.~~

If there is an adjustment to STAR’s taxable income or dividends paid deductions for taxable years ending on or prior to the Mergers, the combined company could elect to use the deficiency dividend procedure in order to maintain STAR’s REIT status for such taxable years. That deficiency dividend procedure could require the combined company to make significant distributions to its stockholders and to pay significant interest to the IRS.

As a result of all these factors, IRT’s or STAR’s failure to qualify as a REIT could impair the combined company’s ability to expand its business and raise capital, and would materially adversely affect the market value of its common stock. In addition, for years in which the combined company does not qualify as a REIT, it would not otherwise be required to make distributions to stockholders.

~~Risks Relating to an Investment in IRT Common Stock~~

~~The market price of IRT common stock may decline as a result of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.~~

The market price of IRT common stock may decline as a result of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement if, among other things, the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the effect of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

In addition, upon consummation of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, IRT stockholders will own interests in the combined company, which will operate an expanded business with a different mix of properties, risks and liabilities. Stockholders of IRT may not wish to continue to invest in the combined company, or may wish to dispose of some or all of

their shares of IRT common stock. If, following the effective time of the Mergers or while the Mergers are pending, large amounts of IRT common stock are sold, the market price of IRT common stock could decline, perhaps substantially.

~~Following the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the combined company may not continue to pay dividends at the rate currently paid by IRT.~~

Following consummation of the Mergers, the combined company may not pay dividends at the same level at which IRT current pays dividends, or with the same frequency, including because of factors such as the following:

•

~~the combined company may not have enough cash to pay such dividends due to changes in the combined company’s cash requirements, capital spending plans, cash flow or financial position;~~

•

decisions on whether, when and in what amounts to pay any future dividends will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of the combined company board of directors, which reserves the right to change the combined company’s dividend practices at any time and for any reason; and

•

the amount of dividends that the combined company’s subsidiaries may distribute to the combined company may be subject to restrictions imposed by state law and restrictions imposed by the terms of any current or future indebtedness that these subsidiaries may incur.

~~Stockholders of the combined company will have no contractual or other legal right to dividends that have not been declared by the combined company board of directors.~~

~~Other Risks~~

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to be filed with the SEC do not purport to be indicative of the combined company’s results after the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and accordingly, you will have limited financial information on which to evaluate the future performance of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to be filed with the SEC will be presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have occurred had the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to be indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company after the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements will reflect adjustments, based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to STAR’s assets and liabilities.

In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements will not reflect other future events that may occur after consummation of the Mergers, including the costs related to the planned integration of IRT and STAR and any future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and will not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expense efficiencies. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to be filed with the SEC will be based in part on certain estimates and assumptions (including the estimated purchase price allocation described above) regarding the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that IRT believes are reasonable under the circumstances. IRT cannot assure you that the estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate.

~~Following the Mergers, the market price and trading volume of IRT common stock may be volatile.~~

The United States stock markets, including the NYSE, on which the IRT common stock is and, after the Mergers, will continue to be listed under the symbol “IRT,” have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of shares of IRT common stock is likely to be similarly volatile, and investors in shares of IRT common stock may experience a decrease, which could be substantial, in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to IRT’s operating performance or prospects. IRT cannot assure you that the market price of shares of IRT’s common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.

In addition to the risks listed elsewhere in these “Risk Factors,” a number of factors could negatively affect IRT’s common stock price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of IRT’s common stock, including:

•

~~the annual yield from distributions on IRT common stock as compared to yields on other financial instruments;~~

•

equity issuances by IRT (including issuances of IRT common stock in the Mergers), or future sales of shares of IRT common stock by its current or future stockholders, or the perception that such issuances or sales may occur;

•

~~increases in market interest rates or a decrease in IRT’s distributions to stockholders that lead prospective investors in IRT common stock to seek a higher yield;~~

•

~~changes in market valuations of similar companies;~~

•

~~fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;~~

•

~~additions or departures of key management personnel;~~

•

~~IRT’s operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;~~

•

~~actual or anticipated differences in IRT’s quarterly operating results;~~

•

~~changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in estimates of securities analysts;~~

•

~~publication of research reports about IRT or its industry by securities analysts;~~

•

~~failure to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes;~~

•

~~adverse market reaction to any indebtedness IRT incurs in the future, including indebtedness to be assumed or incurred in connection with the Mergers;~~

•

~~strategic decisions by IRT or its competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;~~

•

~~the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect IRT or its industry or any failure by IRT to comply with regulatory requirements;~~

•

~~the expiration or loss of local tax abatements, tax credit programs, or other governmental incentives;~~

•

~~the imposition of a penalty tax as a result of certain property transfers that may generate prohibited transaction income;~~

•

~~the inability of IRT to sell properties if and when it would be appropriate to do so;~~

•

~~speculation in the press or investment community;~~

•

~~changes in IRT’s results of operations, financial condition or prospects;~~

•

~~failure to satisfy the listing requirements of the NYSE;~~

•

~~failure to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;~~

•

~~actions by institutional stockholders of IRT;~~

•

~~changes in accounting principles;~~

•

~~changes in environmental conditions or the potential impact of climate change;~~

•

~~terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war in areas in which IRT’s properties are located or markets on which IRT’s securities are traded; and~~

•

~~general economic and/or market conditions, including factors unrelated to IRT’s performance.~~

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert IRT’s management’s attention and resources,

~~which could have a material adverse effect on IRT’s cash flows, its ability to execute its business strategy and IRT’s ability to make distributions to its stockholders.~~

~~Sales of substantial amounts of IRT common stock in the public markets, or the perception that they might occur, could reduce the price of the IRT common stock.~~

Upon the completion of the Mergers, a total of approximately 204.9 million shares of IRT common stock will be outstanding. Prior to the Mergers, the STAR common stock was not listed on any national securities exchange and the ability of STAR stockholders to liquidate their investments was limited. As a result, there may be increased demand to sell shares of IRT common stock upon the closing of the Mergers, at which time shares of STAR common stock will be converted into shares of the IRT common stock, which will be listed on the NYSE and freely tradable. A large volume of sales of shares (or short sales) of the IRT common stock could decrease the prevailing market price of the IRT common stock and could impair IRT’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities in the future. Even if a substantial number of sales of IRT common stock are not effected, the mere perception of the possibility of these sales could depress the market price of the IRT common stock and have a negative effect on IRT’s ability to raise capital in the future.

~~IRT faces other risks.~~

The risks listed above are not exhaustive, and you should be aware that, prior to and following the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, IRT will face various other risks, including those discussed in reports filed by IRT with the SEC.

~~Item 2.~~

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, holders of IROP units exchanged ~~122,155~~10,848 units for ~~122,155~~10,848 shares of our common stock. The exchange of the 10,848 units for 10,848 shares occurred on March 15, 2022 and the issuance of the shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. As of ~~June 30, 2021, 552,360~~March 31, 2022, 6,970,993 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties ~~remain~~remained outstanding.
