Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 16, 2018, the Company received a letter from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating that it is conducting an investigation captioned “Trading in Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp.” The letter enclosed a subpoena that requests the production by the Company of certain documents and communications, including those related to the Company’s communications and agreements with Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. (“Silver Bay”), communications with Silver Bay’s financial advisor, and Company purchases, sales and holdings of Silver Bay stock. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC in connection with this matter. We believe this and other current legal matters applicable to us, including those described in the reports we have filed with the SEC, will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.
