Approves the Completion of the Proposed Spin-Off of its Single-Family Rental Business to Shareholders; Completion of Spin-Off and Acquisition of Bluerock Residential Growth REIT by Affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Expected on October 6, 2022 (9/19/22)
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (NYSE American: BRG) ("BRG" or the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors (the "BRG Board") has approved the distribution to its shareholders of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc., which will become the holder of the Company's single-family rental business (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off is expected to be completed on October 6, 2022 before the opening of the New York Stock Exchange American. BRG, which will continue to hold the Company's multi-family rental business, expects to complete the previously announced acquisition of BRG by affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (the "Acquisition") promptly following the completion of the Spin-Off.
The Spin-Off will occur by means of a pro rata distribution (the "Distribution") by BRG of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of BHM. The Distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, as more fully described in BHM's Registration Statement on Form 10 (File No. 001-41322), as amended, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") having declared effective the Form 10. The Form 10 has been filed by BHM with the SEC and is available on the SEC's website. The completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the consummation of the Distribution, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions in the merger agreement between the Company and affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate.
Distribution Information
At the time of the Distribution, each BRG shareholder will receive one share of BHM Class A or Class C common stock, as applicable, for every eight shares of BRG's Class A or Class C common stock held as of the close of business on the record date, which will be September 29, 2022. The Distribution is expected to occur at 12:01 A.M. on October 6, 2022. BRG shareholders will not receive fractional shares of BHM common stock.
No action is required by BRG shareholders to receive shares of BHM common stock in the Distribution. However, as previously disclosed, holders of warrants to purchase shares of BRG common stock who do not exercise such warrants prior to the close of business on September 23, 2022 will not be entitled to receive any shares of BHM common stock in the Spin-Off in respect of such warrants.
BRG expects to make available an information statement to all shareholders entitled to receive the Distribution. The information statement is filed as an exhibit to BHM's Registration Statement on Form 10 and describes BHM and certain risks of owning BHM common stock and provides other information regarding the Spin-Off and the Distribution.
The distribution agent, transfer agent, and registrar for the shares of BHM common stock will be Computershare. For questions relating to the mechanics of the Distribution, shareholders should contact Computershare, Attn: Alternative Investment Operations, P.O. Box 43007, Providence, RI 02940-3007, or by phone at: 1-866-574-5492. If shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, shareholders should contact that institution directly.
Trading of BHM Common Stock
Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. ("BHM") Class A common stock is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange American under the symbol "BHM."
BRG Class A common stock is expected to begin trading with "Due-Bills" on or about September 28, 2022 (i.e., trading with an entitlement to shares of BHM Class A common stock to be distributed pursuant to the Distribution) and will continue so trading up to and through October 5, 2022, the day prior to the date of the Distribution. BHM Class A common stock is expected to begin trading on a "When-Issued" basis under the ticker symbol "BHM WI" on or about September 28, 2022 and will continue so trading up to and through October 5, 2022, the day prior to the date of the Distribution.
"Regular-way" trading in BHM's Class A common stock is expected to begin on October 6, 2022.
BRG shareholders should consult their financial advisor, stockbroker, bank or other nominee before selling any shares before the date of the Distribution to understand how such sales would impact their entitlement to BHM common stock. Additional information regarding trading of BRG and BHM common stock will be set forth in BHM's information statement filed with the Form 10.
The date of the Distribution may change if certain conditions are not satisfied by that date, as described in BHM's information statement filed with the Form 10.

Bluerock Residential Growth REIT To Be Acquired By Affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate In $3.6 Billion Transaction (12/20/21)
Shareholders to Receive $24.25 in Cash plus Shares of Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc., BRG's Single Family Rental Business Spin-Off, with an Estimated NAV of $5.60
NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc. (NYSE American: BRG) (the "Company") today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate ("Blackstone") under which Blackstone will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of BRG for $24.25 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at $3.6 billion (the "Acquisition").
Under the terms of the agreement, Blackstone will acquire 30 multifamily properties comprising approximately 11,000 units as well as a loan book secured by 24 multifamily assets. The properties consist of high-quality garden-style assets with significant green space and resort-style amenities, built, on average, in 2000. The majority of the properties are located in Atlanta, Phoenix, Orlando, Denver and Austin.
Prior to the Acquisition, the Company separately intends to spin off its single-family rental business to its shareholders (the "Spin-Off" and together with the Acquisition, the "Transaction") through the taxable distribution to shareholders of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of a newly formed real estate investment trust named Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. ("BHOM"), which will be externally managed by an affiliate of Bluerock Real Estate. BHOM will own interests in approximately 3,400 homes, including 2,000 through preferred/mezzanine investments, located in fast growing, high quality of life and knowledge economy markets across the United States. The Company's shareholders will receive shares of BHOM, with a current implied Net Asset Value estimated at $5.60 (based on the midpoint of the valuation range provided by Duff & Phelps, independent financial advisor to the Company's board of directors), for each share of Company common stock. There can be no assurance that the trading price upon a listing of BHOM will be equal to or greater than this estimated NAV.
The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors and the Acquisition, excluding the value of BHOM, represents a premium of approximately 124% over the unaffected closing stock price on September 15, 2021, the date prior to a media article reporting that the Company was exploring strategic options including a sale.
"We are very proud to enter into a transaction that delivers tremendous value to our shareholders. We believe the substantial premium to our historic trading price is a testament to our success in building a best-in-class institutional-quality multifamily apartment portfolio in our attractive knowledge-economy target markets, along with the robust process run by the board of directors and management to secure maximum value for our shareholders," said Ramin Kamfar, Company Chairman and CEO.
Asim Hamid, Senior Managing Director at Blackstone Real Estate, said, "Bluerock's portfolio consists of high-quality multifamily properties in markets across the U.S. experiencing some of the strongest fundamentals. We look forward to bringing our best-in-class management to these properties to ensure they continue to be operated at the highest standards for the benefit of tenants and the surrounding communities."
Completion of the Acquisition, which is currently expected to occur in the second quarter of 2022, is contingent upon consummation of the Spin-Off, as well as customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Company's shareholders, who will vote on the transaction at a special meeting on a date to be announced. The Acquisition is not contingent on receipt of financing by Blackstone.
Most members of the Company's senior management, along with certain entities related to them, have agreed to retain their interests in the Company's operating partnership, which will hold the assets related to the single-family rental business upon completion of the Spin-Off, rather than receiving cash consideration.
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Eastdil Secured LLC are the Company's lead financial advisors with BofA Securities also serving as an advisor. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Kaplan Voekler Cunningham & Frank, PLC, and Vinson & Elkins, LLP are serving as the Company's legal counsel. Barclays and Wells Fargo Securities LLC are Blackstone's financial advisors and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is Blackstone's legal advisor.

Bluerock Capital Markets Reports 60% Growth in Capital Raise; Achieves Top 4 Ranking in Direct Investment Industry
Bluerock Capital Markets (BCM) announced today that it ranks among the direct investment industry's top 4 sponsors in 2017 with over $650 million of new capital raised, and that it continues to see substantial year-over-year growth across all three of its major product lines.
https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/633175/BCM_Logo.jpg
Capital raised for BCM's direct investment product suite grew by 60% in 2017, following a 160% increase in 2016. The company reports robust equity raises across all three of its product lines, which includes:
-- Bluerock's innovative Total Income+ Real Estate Fund (NASDAQ: TIPRX, TIPPX, TIPWX, TIPLX), that provides individual investors with access to private, institutional real estate securities, enabling them to invest alongside large pensions and endowments without the high minimums
-- Bluerock Residential Growth REIT (NYSE MKT: BRG) Series B Preferred stock designed to deliver current income and stability of principal plus potential capital appreciation with investments in the multifamily sector, and
-- Bluerock Value Exchange 1031 like-kind exchanges that seeks to provide investors with tax deferral, current income and potential capital appreciation
Bluerock's strong 2017 performance stands out in notable contrast to the broader direct investment industry or Portfolio Diversifying Investments (PDIs), which according to Stanger, declined 17% in 2017, following a decline of 55% in 2016. The Market Pulse report covers interval funds, public DPP, non-listed REIT, and non-listed BDC products marketed through independent broker-dealers.
"Bluerock's ability to grow as the larger industry contracts is attributable in part to a recognized pattern of consistent, solid performance and attractive risk-adjusted returns, as well as to the fact that we are offering a well-timed, responsive product suite that is suited to the current economic and regulatory environment," said Jeffrey S. Schwaber, CEO of Bluerock Capital Markets.
BCM has also made a significant investment to expand its human capital. "We now have 44 dedicated team members nationwide across 16 regional territories covering all 50 states and supported by two internal sales desks situated on both coasts. That expansion has made a tremendous impact on our ability to assist and educate our financial advisor base," Schwaber said.
Bluerock's TI+ closed-end interval fund, which reports approximately $900 million in AUM as of the date herein, is a comprehensive real estate holding which seeks to provide a combination of current income, capital preservation, and long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets.
BRG, a multifamily REIT with assets in excess of $1.8 billion, acquires Class A institutional-quality apartment properties in demographically attractive growth markets, and generating value through off-market/relationship-based transactions and property enhancements.
Bluerock's 1031 Exchange (DST) products target the multifamily sector through Bluerock Value Exchange, a national sponsor of syndicated 1031-exchange offerings with a focus on Class A assets. Bluerock has structured over $1.4 billion in total property value and nearly 7.5 million square feet of property.
Market ranking is based on industry data obtained by Robert A. Stanger, Blue Vault Partners, and Mountain Dell Consulting.
