Explanation of Responses:

Reflects securities disposed of pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of December 20, 2021, by and among Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (the "Company"), Badger Parent LLC ("Parent") and Badger Merger Sub LLC ("Merger Sub"), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 21, 2021. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on October 6, 2022 (the "Effective Time"), the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving, and the separate existence of the Company ceased. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company was automatically converted into the right to receive $24.25 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"), without interest.

("BHM") as substitute general partner on October 5, 2022. Effective October 5, 2022, redemptions of common units ("Common Units") of the Operating Partnership (into which LTIP Units are convertible) were no longer able to be settled by the Operating Partnership in shares of the Company's Class A common stock and became able to be settled in shares of BHM Class A common stock.
