INVITATION HOMES INC.

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY LESS THAN UNANIMOUS CONSENT

On August 9, 2017 Invitation Homes Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Corporation, Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, IH Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (“Merger Sub”), Starwood Waypoint Homes, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Starwood Waypoint”), and Starwood Waypoint Homes Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, among other transactions, Starwood Waypoint will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding common share of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of Starwood Waypoint (the “Starwood Waypoint Common Shares”) will be converted into the right to receive 1.6140 newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation (the “Invitation Homes Common Stock”). We refer to the issuance of shares of Invitation Homes Common Stock in connection with the Merger as the “Invitation Homes Stock Issuance.”

Subsequent to the execution of the Merger Agreement, and after being approved, declared advisable and recommended by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), the stockholders of the Corporation, acting by consent given in writing or by electronic transmission and without a meeting, approved the Invitation Homes Stock Issuance and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which consent was effective as of August 10, 2017. Consent was given by stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter in accordance with Section 2-505 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), Section 6.5 of the charter of the Corporation (the “Charter”) and Section 14 of Article II of the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”). Approval from the stockholders of the Corporation was sought in order to comply with the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. No stockholder approval of the Merger, the Invitation Homes Stock Issuance or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement was required under the MGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws.

This constitutes notice of stockholder action taken by less than unanimous consent to each holder of Invitation Homes Common Stock and to each stockholder who, if the foregoing action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting under Section 2-505 of the MGCL, the Charter and the Bylaws. Holders of Invitation Homes Common Stock will not have appraisal rights in connection with the Invitation Homes Stock Issuance, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Solls, at (972) 421-3600.

Forward Looking Statements

The information presented herein may contain forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which INVH and SFR operate and beliefs of and assumptions made by INVH management and SFR management, involve significant risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and are not guarantees of future performances, that could significantly affect the financial results of INVH or SFR or the combined company. Words such as “projects,” “will,” “could,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “may,” and “might” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger between SFR and INVH, including future financial and operating results, the attractiveness of the value to be received by SFR shareholders, the attractiveness of the value to be received by INVH, the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, the timing of future events, anticipated administrative and operating synergies, the anticipated impact of the Mergers on net debt ratios, cost of capital, future dividend payment rates, forecasts of accretion in FFO, AFFO or other earnings or performance measures, projected capital improvements, expected sources of financing, and descriptions relating to these expectations. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to expected synergies, improved liquidity and balance sheet strength — are forward looking statements. Pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. INVH’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although INVH believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward looking statements. Some of the factors that may materially and adversely affect INVH’s and SFR’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects, as well as INVH’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders, include, but are not limited to: (i) national, regional and local economic climates; (ii) changes in the real estate and single family rental industry, financial markets and interest rates, or to the business or financial condition of either company or business; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for the companies’ properties; (iv) competition in the leasing market for quality residents; (v) increasing property taxes, homeowners’ association fees and insurance costs, (vi) each company’s dependence on third parties for key services; (vii) risks related to evaluation of properties, poor resident selection and defaults and non-renewals by either company’s residents; (viii) risks associated with acquisitions, including the integration of the combined companies’ businesses; (ix) the potential liability for the failure to meet regulatory requirements, including the maintenance of REIT status; (x) availability of financing and capital; (xi) risks associated with achieving expected revenue synergies or cost savings; (xii) risks associated with the companies’ ability to consummate the Mergers and the timing of the closing of the Mergers; (xiii) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting either company; (xiv) applicable regulatory changes; and (xv) those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by INVH and SFR from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in their respective most recently filed reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Neither INVH nor SFR, except as required by law, undertakes any duty to update any forward looking statements appearing in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
