America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. Announces Effectiveness of 1-for-3 Reverse Unit Split

OMAHA, Neb., April 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ: ATAX) (the “Partnership” or “ATAX”) announced today that its previously announced 1-for-3 reverse unit split (the “Reverse Unit Split”) of its beneficial unit certificates representing assigned limited partnership interests (“BUCs”) became effective after market close on April 1, 2022. The Partnership's BUCs will commence trading on a split-adjusted basis as of market open on April 4, 2022. The BUCs will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ATAX.” In connection with the Reverse Unit Split, the CUSIP number for the BUCs changed to 02364V 206.

As a result of the Reverse Unit Split, holders of BUCs received one BUC for every three BUCs owned at the close of business on April 1, 2022. All fractional BUCs created by the Reverse Unit Split were rounded to the nearest whole BUC, with any fraction equal to or above 0.5 BUC rounded up to the next higher BUC, as provided by the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement.

Immediately prior to the Reverse Unit Split, there were 66,049,908 BUCs issued and outstanding, and immediately after the Reverse Unit Split the number of issued and outstanding BUCs decreased to approximately 22,016,636. There is not expected to be any direct economic consequence to the Partnership or its unitholders from the Reverse Unit Split. The Reverse Unit Split will affect all BUC holders proportionally and will not alter any BUC holder’s percentage interest in the Partnership’s capital, except to the extent that the Reverse Unit Split would result in some BUC holders owning a fractional BUC. The Partnership pursued the Reverse Unit Split primarily to increase the BUC price on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and to make the BUCs more attractive to investors.

The Partnership’s transfer agent, America Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“AST”), is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Unit Split. Unitholders holding their BUC in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the Reverse Unit Split. Beneficial holders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions. Unitholders holding physical certificates will be required to surrender such certificates, together with a Letter of Transmittal, to AST. Unitholders will have post-split BUCs reflected in book-entry form. However, AST will issue new physical certificates to such holders who request a new certificate. Holders may contact AST by phone at (800) 937-5449 or by email at help@astfinancial.com.
