The issuer is the general partner of, owns a substantial majority of the equity interests of, and conducts its business through Roberts Properties Residential, L.P. (the “operating partnership”), which is the person filing this Schedule 13G/A. On December 30, 2014, the operating partnership issued 426,397 units of limited partnership interest (“units”) in exchange for the contribution to the operating partnership of 702,276 common shares of the issuer by Charles S. Roberts, the issuer’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Roberts is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 501. The contributed shares are held by the operating partnership, have not been and are not expected to be cancelled, and remain outstanding for corporate law purposes.

 

The operating partnership notes, however, that Section 13(d)(4) of the Act provides that in “determining, for purposes of [Section 13(d)], any percentage of a class of any security, such class shall be deemed to consist of the amount of the outstanding securities of such class, exclusive of any securities of such class held by or for the account of the issuer or a subsidiary of the issuer.” (Emphasis added.) The operating partnership, a subsidiary of the issuer, now holds shares of the registered class. The operating partnership notes that that under Section 13(d)(4) of the Act, the shares it holds may not be “outstanding” for purposes of Section 13(d), and thus the operating partnership may not be required to file this Schedule 13G/A. The operating partnership is filing this Schedule 13G/A to report its ownership of the contributed shares if and to the extent that for purposes of the filing requirements of Schedule 13G it is required or deemed to be required to do so. In calculating the “Percent of class” reflected above, the operating partnership used the contributed shares as the numerator and included the contributed shares in the denominator.
