On April 23, 2015, the Board of Managers of the Burlington Capital Group LLC (“Burlington”), which is the general partner of America First Capital Associates Limited Partnership Two, which is the general partner of America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (the “Partnership”), elected former U.S. Senator Mike Johanns and W. Kimball Griffith as managers of Burlington, effective immediately. The persons acting as the Board of Managers of Burlington effectively act as the board of directors of the Partnership.
Mr. Johanns, age 64, was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008 and served in the 111th through 113th Congresses as a member of the Senate Appropriations, Agriculture, Banking, Commerce, Environment & Public Works, Indian Affairs, and Veterans’ Affairs Committees. Mr. Johanns also served as the 28th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 2005 to 2007, during which time he directed 18 federal agencies employing approximately 90,000 staff members worldwide and managed a $93 billion budget. Mr. Johanns also served as Governor of Nebraska from 1999 to 2005, Mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska from 1991 to 1999, member of the Lincoln, Nebraska City Council from 1989 to 1991, and member of the Lancaster County, Nebraska Board from 1983 to 1987.
Mr. Griffith, age 66, has been a consultant to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) since March 2015. From 2003 to February 2015, Mr. Griffith served as director and vice president of Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Division in charge of mortgage and investment products for affordable properties with state and local support. From 1974 to 2003, he practiced law, including with Kutak Rock LLP and its predecessor firms from 1976 to 1999, where he served in numerous management roles, and with Ballard Spahr LLP from 1999 to 2003. Mr. Griffith also currently serves on the board of directors of Enterprise Community Investors, Inc. and serves as chair of the Board of Transitional Housing Corporation.
Both Mr. Johanns and Mr. Griffith will be entitled to receive the standard manager compensation previously established by the Burlington Board of Managers and generally offered to other managers of Burlington. Other than being entitled to receive such manager compensation, neither Mr. Johanns nor Mr. Griffith entered into any material plan, contract, or arrangement in connection with their election as managers. Neither Mr. Johanns nor Mr. Griffith is a party to any transaction with the Partnership that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
