Aimco Announces Conclusion of Strategic Review Process, Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results and Recent Highlights

Aimco to Seek Shareholder Approval to Adopt Plan of Sale and Liquidation, Estimates Liquidating Distributions of Between $5.75 and $7.10 Per Share.

DENVER, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco") (NYSE: AIV) announced today the conclusion of the strategic review process and third quarter results for 2025.

In early 2025, Aimco launched a broad and comprehensive process actively pursuing value maximizing transactions, including the potential sale of Aimco as a whole or sale of major components of the business. 

These proactive efforts resulted in the sale of Aimco's Boston portfolio, with $335 million of net proceeds being allocated to leverage reduction and approximately $330 million being returned to shareholders in the form of a special dividend earlier this quarter. Combined with the $0.60 per share dividend paid in the first quarter of 2025, Aimco has returned $2.83 per share to shareholders during the calendar year.

Given the disparate composition of Aimco's remaining assets and the market feedback received during a robust strategic process with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("Morgan Stanley") and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz ("Wachtell") serving as the Company's financial and legal advisors, respectively, the Aimco Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the targeted marketing and orderly sale of Aimco's remaining assets in a series of transactions is likely to deliver superior value to shareholders, as compared to other strategic alternatives currently available or by maintaining the status quo.

Therefore, the Aimco Board of Directors has determined advisable and approved a "Plan of Sale and Liquidation," conditioned on shareholder approval, which will be sought during early 2026. A Plan of Sale and Liquidation would allow for the acceleration of asset sales, establishes the most tax efficient manner of monetizing the Company's remaining assets, and does not preclude a corporate transaction or the sale of the Aimco platform in the future.  Aimco intends to return net proceeds from asset sales to shareholders, subject to payment of Aimco's liabilities and obligations, and the creation of associated reserves. 

Aimco's current portfolio includes 15 fully stabilized multifamily communities containing 2,524 apartment homes, three recently completed Class A development projects containing 933 apartment homes, which will be occupancy stabilized by early 2026, one fully-funded active development project in the construction phase, and various land holdings.

Aimco's Brickell Assemblage, which is comprised of the 1001 Brickell Bay Drive office tower and the adjacent Yacht Club apartments, located in Miami, Florida remains under contract to be sold for $520 million, with closing targeted for December 2025.

In addition, Aimco is actively marketing a significant portion of its remaining properties.

It is estimated that net proceeds from the sale of Aimco's remaining assets, including the Brickell Assemblage, could result in total per share distributions of between $5.75 and $7.10, given current market conditions and inclusive of estimated transaction and wind-down costs. 

When combined with the $2.85 per share in special dividends previously returned to shareholders since the 2020 spinoff of Apartment Income REIT Corp. (the "2020 Spinoff"), Aimco's total distribution estimate is between $8.60 - $9.95 per share.  At the midpoint, this amount reflects approximately 170% of Aimco's share price following the 2020 Spinoff.

Aimco President and CEO Wes Powell comments: "Aimco has remained laser focused on our mission, which aims to create value for our shareholders, our teammates, and the communities in which we operate. 

"Over the past five years, the Aimco team has navigated a challenging market cycle to deliver more than $1.3 billion of high-quality housing to markets across the country, while safeguarding the Company's balance sheet and actively managing the portfolio of assets retained following the 2020 Spinoff.

"During this period, Aimco repurchased 14.5 million shares of common stock, sold more than $1.9 billion of assets, returned more than $420 million in special dividends, and delivered total shareholder returns that have outpaced the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartments index by more than 2,000 bps.

"I am pleased with our track record and extremely proud of the Aimco team which remains committed to the important work that lies ahead."

Pat Gibson, Independent Director and Chair of Aimco's Investment Committee, continues:

"The Board, working with Morgan Stanley and Wachtell, evaluated a broad range of strategic alternatives and in January 2025 publicly announced the Board's expanded strategic review process. That process involved engagement with more than 100 counterparties, including financial sponsors, investment managers, public REITs and private real estate companies, among others.

"Having thoroughly explored various strategic alternatives with these counterparties, the Board unanimously concluded that the voluntary and orderly liquidation of the Company's remaining assets is most likely to result in the greatest value for shareholders as compared to other alternatives."

Value Add and Opportunistic Investments

Development and Redevelopment

Aimco generally seeks development and redevelopment opportunities where barriers to entry are high, target customers can be clearly defined, and Aimco has a comparative advantage over others in the market. Aimco's value add and opportunistic investments may also target portfolio acquisitions, operational turnarounds, and re-entitlements.

As of September 30, 2025, Aimco had one multifamily development project under construction, two multifamily communities that have been completed and are now in lease-up, and one that completed lease-up and is stabilizing operations.

During the third quarter, $25 million of capital was invested in Aimco's development and redevelopment activities, primarily funded through construction loan and preferred equity draws. Updates on active development projects and Aimco's pipeline include:

• In Upper Northwest Washington D.C., all 689 apartment homes at Upton Place were delivered in 2024 and construction is complete. As of October 31, 2025, 523 units (76%) were leased or pre-leased and 499 (72%) were occupied. The pace of absorption slowed during the third quarter and we now expect the property to reach occupancy stabilization in the first quarter 2026. Additionally, as of October 31, 2025, approximately 97% of the project's 105K square feet of retail space had been leased.
• In Bethesda, Maryland, all 220 of the highly tailored apartment homes at the first phase of Strathmore Square were delivered in 2024 and construction is complete. As of October 31, 2025, 186 units (85%) had been leased or pre-leased and 173 (79%) were occupied. We now expect the property to reach occupancy stabilization in the first quarter 2026.
• In Miami, construction remains on schedule and on budget at 34^th Street, an ultra-luxury waterfront residential tower. Initial occupancy is scheduled for 3Q 2027 with stabilized occupancy in 4Q 2028.
• In the third quarter 2025, Aimco invested $1.7 million into programming, design, documentation, and entitlement efforts primarily related to its 901 North development site, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Investment & Disposition Activity

Aimco currently anticipates that a Plan of Sale and Liquidation (the "Proposed Transaction") would be submitted for stockholder approval at a special stockholder meeting, expected to occur in early 2026 (the "Special Stockholder Meeting").  Additional information regarding the Plan of Sale and Liquidation will be made available in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Aimco does not intend to disclose or comment on the sales and marketing of individual assets, or any other strategic transactions, until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.

• In August 2025, Aimco entered into a definitive agreement to sell its portfolio of five apartment properties, including 2,719 units, located in suburban Boston for $740 million. 
  • In September 2025, Aimco completed the sale of four of the five apartment properties located in suburban Boston for $490 million with proceeds primarily used to retire associated mortgage loans, pay off in full the balance drawn on Aimco's revolving credit facility, and fund a $2.23 per share special dividend distribution to stockholders paid on October 15, 2025.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, in October 2025, Aimco completed the sale of its last remaining apartment property located in suburban Boston for $250 million. In connection with the sale, $173.4 million of non-recourse property debt was assumed by the buyer. Aimco plans to use net proceeds from the sale to reduce leverage and for general corporate purposes.
• Aimco's Brickell Assemblage remains under contract to be sold for $520 million.
  • During the third quarter, the buyer notified Aimco that it intended to exercise its option, as permitted in the December 30, 2024, agreement, to finance up to $115 million of the purchase price with transferable seller financing from Aimco.
  • On November 8, 2025, the purchase and sale agreement was amended such that closing is now scheduled for December of 2025 and the buyer will finance $70 million, of the of the $520 million purchase price, with transferable seller financing notes from Aimco.  The notes will have a term of 24 months with a compounding interest rate that increases from 12% to 22% over the duration of the loan as well as exit fees ranging from 1% to 4%.
  • In addition, $15 million of the $50 million, non-refundable, deposit has been released to Aimco with the remainder being held in escrow, $20 million is to be released to Aimco on the original closing date, November 18, 2025, and $15 million will be applied at closing.
  • Net proceeds, when accounting for associated property-level debt, the monetization of the seller financing note, the deferred tax liability, and transaction costs, are expected to be approximately $300 million.
• Subsequent to quarter end, in October, Aimco completed a transfer of ownership interests with its joint venture partner at the development land sites along Broward Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Aimco exchanged its joint venture ownership in the non-performing seller financing note secured by 200 Broward Avenue along with $7.5 million of cash, for full ownership of 300 Broward Avenue.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

Aimco is highly focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, including ample liquidity. As of September 30, 2025, Aimco had $404.4 million of cash on hand ($327.3 million was distributed as a special dividend on October 15, 2025) and $20.7 million of restricted cash.

Aimco's net leverage as of September 30, 2025, was as follows:

As of September 30, 2025, 100% of Aimco's total debt was either fixed rate or hedged with interest rate cap protection. Considering investments under contract to sell and including contractual extensions, Aimco has no debt maturing prior to June 2027.

• In September, Aimco used proceeds from the sale of four suburban Boston properties to pay down in full the borrowings on its revolving credit facility. Certain of the properties sold served as collateral for the credit facility, which was retired upon completion of the sales.

Public Market Equity

Special Dividend

• On September 15, 2025, Aimco's Board of Directors declared a $2.23 per share special cash dividend to be paid on October 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2025. Because the dividend represented more than 25% of the price of Aimco's common shares, the New York Stock Exchange advised Aimco that its common shares would trade with "due bills" between the date of record and the close of trading on the payment date. Aimco shares traded ex-dividend on October 16, 2025.
• Year-to-date, as of November 10, 2025, Aimco has paid $2.83 per share in special cash dividends.

Repurchases

• Since Aimco's Board of Directors announced the expansion of its strategic review process on January 9, 2025, no shares of common stock have been repurchased by Aimco. Since the start of 2022, Aimco has repurchased 14.5 million shares at an average price of $7.53 per share.
• In the third quarter 2025, Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed 43,804 units of its equity securities for cash at a weighted average price of $8.66 per unit and 2.6 million units of its equity securities for shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $7.98 per unit.

2025 Outlook

The table below presents Aimco's current expectations for 2025. In August, given the Boston transaction's substantial impact on the composition of the Stabilized Operating portfolio, Aimco withdrew prior guidance and will no longer provide revenue, expense and Property NOI guidance for its Stabilized Operating Properties.

Additional Assumptions and Estimates

The estimates of the per share distributions reflected in this Earnings Release are subject to a number of additional assumptions and estimates which were made as of the date of this release, many of which are outside Aimco's control, including the costs to operate the Company, and maintain the Company's assets, through the liquidation and wind-down process, the time it will take to liquidate the Company, the amounts necessary to satisfy the Company's remaining financial obligations, and economic factors such as inflation and interest rate changes, all of which are subject to change. These assumptions and estimates will be more fully described in the Company's proxy statement to be filed in connection with the Special Shareholder Meeting to be convened to approve the Proposed Transaction. These assumptions and estimates may not prove to be accurate, which could cause actual distributions to be less or more than this estimated range.

NYSE Listing

Although Aimco intends for its common shares to continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange if shareholders approve the Proposed Transaction, subject to continued compliance with NYSE listing requirements, the New York Stock Exchange has discretionary authority to delist the Company's common shares following shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction. At a point in the future to be determined by the Aimco Board of Directors, the Company expects to voluntarily delist its common shares from the NYSE in order to reduce operating expenses and maximize liquidating distributions.
