SUPPLEMENT NO. 16 DATED NOVEMBER 1, 2013
TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED JULY 13, 2012
This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the prospectus of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. dated July 13, 2012, as supplemented by Supplement No. 14 dated September 16, 2013, and Supplement No. 15 dated October 8, 2013. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. and, as required by context, Resource Real Estate Opportunity OP, LP, which we refer to as our “Operating Partnership” and to their subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used in this supplement have the same meanings as set forth in the prospectus. The purpose of this supplement is to disclose:
| • | | information regarding a stock distribution recently declared; and |
| • | | information regarding mortgage loans recently entered into. |
Stock Distribution Declared
On October 28, 2013, our board of directors authorized a stock distribution of 0.005 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), or 0.5% of each outstanding share of Common Stock, to the stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2013. Such stock distribution is to be issued on January 13, 2014.
We believe that the stock distribution should be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 305(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the adjusted tax basis of each share of “old” and “new” Common Stock should be computed by dividing the adjusted tax basis of the old Common Stock by the total number of shares, old and new. The holding period of the Common Stock received in such non-taxable distribution is expected to begin on the date the taxpayer acquired the Common Stock which is the date that the distribution was made. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of this stock distribution.
