This represents properties purchased or developed prior to October 1, 2014. As of April 3, 2015 for current year and April 3, 2014 for prior year. Rentable beds exclude beds needed for on-site staff. As of September 30, 2014. Excluding three freshman residence hall communities at Arizona State University, which are subject to the university’s first year housing requirement and assignment process, our same store wholly-owned portfolio was 79.3% applied for and 72.5% leased as of April 3, 2015 compared to 78.8% applied for and 71.1% leased for the same date prior year. Excluding three freshman residence hall communities at Arizona State University, which are subject to the university’s first year housing requirement and assignment process, our total wholly-owned portfolio was 78.5% applied for and 71.9% leased as of April 3, 2015 compared to 78.8% applied for and 71.1% leased for the same date prior year. Properties not owned or under ACC management during the prior year are excluded for purposes of calculating the prior year percentage of rentable beds and final fall 2014 occupancy. Projected rate increase reflects projected rental rates anticipated to be achieved through the end of the company’s leasing cycle, up to targeted occupancy. Exhibit 99.1
