Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This Current Report on Form 8-K may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which the Company operates and beliefs of and assumptions made by the Company's management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial results of the Company or the combined company. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," 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 include, but are not limited to certain actions to be taken by the Company in connection with the closing of the Mergers. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: IRT's and the Company's ability to complete the Mergers on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to securing the necessary stockholder approvals and lender consents and satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the Mergers; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; risks related to diverting the attention of the Company and IRT management from ongoing business operations; failure to realize the expected benefits of the Mergers; significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; the risk of stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed Mergers, including resulting expense or delay; the risk that the Company's business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; risks related to future opportunities and plans for the combined company, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the combined company following completion of the Mergers; effects relating to the announcement of the Mergers or any further announcements or the consummation of the Mergers on the market price of the IRT Common Stock; the possibility that, if the combined company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Mergers as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial analysts or investors, the market price of IRT Common Stock could decline; the value of the Company could decline; general adverse economic and local real estate conditions; the inability of residents to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business; local real estate conditions; adverse changes in financial markets that result in increases in interest rates and reduced availability and increased costs of capital; increases in operating costs and real estate taxes; changes in the dividend policy for IRT Common Stock or IRT's


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ability to pay dividends; changes in the distribution policy for the Company or the Company's ability to pay distributions; impairment charges; unanticipated changes in IRT's intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity; pandemics or other health crises, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); and other risks and uncertainties affecting IRT and the Company, including those described from time to time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in IRT's and the Company's SEC filings and reports, including IRT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and future filings and reports by either company. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which IRT and the Company are not currently aware may also affect each of the companies' forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. The forward-looking statements made in this communication are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements, even if they are subsequently made available by IRT or the Company on their respective websites or otherwise. Neither IRT nor the Company undertakes any obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were made.
