Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Announces Change to Virtual Annual Meeting for 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

ATLANTA, April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. APTS ("PAC" or the "Company") today announced that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been changed to a strictly virtual meeting format due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to support the health and well-being of our employees, stockholders and community. The Annual Meeting will still be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 7, 2020 as previously announced, but you will only be able to access the Annual Meeting by remote communication.  Additional details of the business to be presented at the Annual Meeting can be found in the Updated Notice of 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (our "Proxy Statement").  We expect to resume in-person or hybrid annual meetings beginning with our 2021 annual meeting.

To access the virtual meeting, stockholders should visit https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/APTS2020.

 If you were a stockholder on March 13, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting, and have your 16-digit control number, you may participate in and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on www.proxyvote.com.  Stockholders may find the control number on their proxy card or notice.

Only one stockholder per 16-digit control number can access the Annual Meeting.  Those without a control number may attend the Annual Meeting if they are an invited guest, but they will not have the option to vote any shares or participate during the Annual Meeting.  We encourage stockholders to log in to this website and access the webcast before the Annual Meeting's start time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, your vote is important and we encourage you to vote promptly.

PAC encourages you to vote your shares via a toll-free telephone number or over the Internet. If you received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, you may sign, date and mail the proxy card in the envelope provided. Instructions regarding all three methods of voting are contained in the Proxy Statement and in the proxy materials.
