AGOURA HILLS, Calif.,
Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH) (the "Company") announced today
that it has priced its third securitization transaction. The
transaction involves the issuance and sale to third parties of
single-family rental homes pass-through certificates that represent
beneficial ownership interests in a loan secured by 4,503
single-family rental homes sold to an affiliate from the Company's
portfolio of single-family rental homes. The Company anticipates
gross proceeds from the sale of its certificates of approximately
$528.4 million from the offering. The
Certificates were issued for a ten-year term at fixed rates, with a
duration-adjusted weighted average coupon rate of 4.395%. The
transaction is expected to close on or about November 25, 2014.
The Company's first securitization closed in May 2014 and involved the issuance and sale of
floating rate single-family rental homes pass-through certificates
with a five-year term. The first securitization resulted in gross
proceeds of approximately $481.0
million at a duration-weighted blended interest rate of
LIBOR plus 154 basis points. The Company's second securitization
closed in September 2014 and involved
the issuance and sale of fixed rate single-family rental homes
pass-through certificates with a ten-year term, which the Company
believes was the first rated fixed-rate single-family rental homes
securitization. The securitization raised gross proceeds of
approximately $488.0 million with a
duration-adjusted weighted average coupon rate of 4.418%. With its
latest securitization, the Company continues to seek to reduce its
long-term cost of capital.

States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities
Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell
or the solicitation of any offer to buy nor shall there by any sale
of the certificates in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the laws of such
jurisdiction.
