On August 1, 2018, America First Multifamily Investors, L.P.

Under the Sales Agreement, JonesTrading may sell the Units by any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Partnership may instruct JonesTrading not to sell Units if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Partnership from time to time.

The Partnership is not obligated to make any sales of the Units under the Sales Agreement. The offering of Units pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the issuance and sale of all Units subject to the Sales Agreement; or (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein.
