Items to be Included in this Report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 7.01 - Regulation FD
On February 25, 2005, American Campus Communities, Inc. announced that it
has signed a contract to acquire The Exchange at Gainesville, a student housing
community located in close proximity to the University of Florida campus in
Gainesville, Florida. The property contains approximately 1,044 beds and has a
purchase price of approximately $47.5 million. The acquisition is expected to be
completed by the end of the 2005 first quarter.
Looking forward to its 2004 earnings news release to be distributed Mar. 1,
2005 and its analyst conference call scheduled on Mar. 2, 2005, the company said
that it will be narrowing the 2005 guidance range previously provided for Funds
from Operations Modified to reflect the operational performance of on-campus
participating properties (FFOM), and lowering earnings guidance previously
provided for Funds from Operations (FFO) for the year ended December 31, 2005,
in part due to the sale of the San Bernardino project and the delay in closing
the acquisition of the Florida portfolio of five properties, which closed in
February 2005.
The press release is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), or subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information
in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
