Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk

Factors,” as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports filed by AvalonBay

or Equity Residential, as the case may be, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, which

are available via the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov; and (xxiv) those risks that are described in the Registration Statement and

Definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (each as defined below) that have been filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed

transaction and are available from the sources indicated below. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed,

or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and

should be read in conjunction with the other forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to events as of the date

on which the statements are made. Neither AvalonBay nor Equity Residential undertakes any obligation to publicly update or review any

forward-looking statement except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If one

or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if AvalonBay’s and Equity Residential’s underlying assumptions

prove to be incorrect, AvalonBay’s, Equity Residential’s and the combined company’s actual results may vary materially

from what AvalonBay or Equity Residential may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. AvalonBay and Equity Residential

caution not to place undue reliance on any of AvalonBay’s or Equity Residential’s forward-looking statements. Furthermore,

new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect AvalonBay

or Equity Residential.
