The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

On September 26, 2024, Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP (the “Issuer”), a Delaware limited partnership and the principal operating subsidiary of Invitation Homes Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), closed an underwritten public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Notes”).

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by the Company, Invitation Homes OP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the sole general partner of the Issuer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “General Partner”), and IH Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“IH Merger Sub” and, together with the Company and the General Partner, the “Guarantors”). The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a seventh supplemental indenture, dated as of September 26, 2024 (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a certain percentage of total unencumbered assets by the Company. Copies of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, including the form of Notes and the Guarantees, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under certain circumstances, the Indenture will require certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer, the General Partner and IH Merger Sub) to guarantee the Notes in the future if, and for so long as, such subsidiary, directly or indirectly, guarantees or otherwise becomes obligated in respect of the Issuer’s revolving credit facility.

The purchase price paid by the underwriters for the Notes was 98.205% of the principal amount thereof. The Notes are the Issuer’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. However, the Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to: (i) all of the Issuer’s existing and future mortgage indebtedness and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness); (ii) all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting; and (iii) all preferred equity not owned by the Issuer, if any, in any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes and in any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting. The Notes bear interest at 4.875% per annum. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2025, until the maturity date of February 1, 2035.

The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Notes are redeemed on or after November 1, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.

Certain events are considered events of default, which may result in the accelerated maturity of the Notes, including:

The descriptions of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture in this Current Report on Form 8-K are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, respectively.

The Notes were offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2024 (Registration Nos. 333-280210, 333-280210-01, 333-280210-02 and 333-280210-03), a base prospectus, dated June 14, 2024, and a prospectus supplement, dated September 23, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On September 23, 2024, the Issuer and the Guarantors entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with PNC Capital Markets LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, with respect to the offering of the Notes, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
