Director Resignation

On October 19, 2022, Curtis A. Pollock., a member of the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC (the “Greystone Manager Board”), which is the general partner of the general partner of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”), notified the Greystone Manager Board of his intention to resign effective October 24, 2022, including in his capacity as the equivalent of a director of the Partnership. Mr. Pollock’s decision to resign did not result from any disagreement with the Partnership on any matter relating to the Partnership’s operations, policies or practices.

Director Appointment

On October 19, 2022, Greystone LB Holdings LLC, in its capacity as the sole member of Greystone AF Manager LLC, appointed Hafize Gaye Erkan as a member of the Greystone Manager Board effective as of October 24, 2022. In this regard, Ms. Erkan will act in the capacity as a director of the Partnership. The Greystone Manager Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Erkan does not meet the independence standards established by the NASDAQ listing rules and the rules of the SEC.

In connection with her appointment, Ms. Erkan was awarded 2,235 restricted unit awards under the America First Multifamily Investors, L.P 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Ms. Erkan’s restricted unit awards vest in three equal installments on November 30, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

Other than as described above with respect to Ms. Erkan’s restricted unit award, there is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Erkan and any other persons or entities pursuant to which Ms. Erkan was appointed to the Greystone Manager Board. In addition, there are no transactions between the Partnership and Ms. Erkan that require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Biographical information for Ms. Erkan is set forth below.

Hafize Gaye Erkan, 42, is the Chief Executive Officer of Greystone and is a proven financial services leader with deep expertise in banking, investments, risk management, technology, and digital innovation. Prior to joining Greystone, Ms. Erkan spent nearly eight years at First Republic Bank, in roles including Co-Chief Executive Officer, President, Board Member, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Deposit Officer, and Co-Chief Risk Officer. She spent almost a decade at Goldman Sachs as Managing Director and Head of Financial Institutions Group Analytics and Strategies, advising the Boards and executive management teams of large U.S. banks and insurance companies on balance sheet management, stress testing and capital planning, risk management, and M&A. In March 2022, Ms. Erkan joined the Board of Directors at Fortune 500 firm Marsh McLennan, and she served on the Board of Directors for Tiffany & Co. from 2019 through the company’s acquisition by LVMH in 2021. She also serves on the Advisory Council for the Princeton University Operations Research and Financial Engineering Department. Ms. Erkan serves on the Board of Directors for the Partnership for New York City and is an active supporter of the National Coalition of Girl’s Schools. She is the founder of the Hafize Gaye Erkan First Republic Fellowship Program, a first-of-its kind program that guides young women from underserved backgrounds to a purpose-driven life through STEM education, mentorship, and professional development. She is also a member of the Young Presidents’ Organization, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the International Women’s Forum. Ms. Erkan graduated as valedictorian of Boğaziçi University in Turkey with a B.S. in Industry Engineering and earned a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University. She is a graduate of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program and the Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Program in Leadership.

On October 21, 2022, the Partnership issued a press release announcing Mr. Pollock’s resignation from the Greystone Manager Board, and Ms. Erkan’s appointment to the Greystone Manager Board. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
