Filing notes and footnotes

Explanation of responses 4 footnotes

Footnote F1

Represents common units ("CROP Units") of Cottonwood Residential O.P., LP ("the Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership of which Cottonwood Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"), is the sole member of the sole general partner. CROP Units may be redeemed for cash equal to the net asset value ("NAV") per share, determined pursuant to valuation procedures adopted by the Issuer's board of directors, of one share of the Issuer's Class I common stock or, at the Issuer's election, for shares of the Issuer's Class I common stock on a one-for-one basis. The CROP Units have no expiration date.

Footnote F2

The long-term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units") of the Operating Partnership were granted to the reporting person on January 2, 2026 as equity incentive compensation. The LTIP Units vest annually in equal installments over a four-year period with the first 25% vesting on January 1, 2027, subject to continued service.

Footnote F3

Represents LTIP units granted to the reporting person as equity incentive compensation. Over time, the LTIP Units can achieve full parity with CROP Units for all purposes. If such parity is reached, non-forfeitable LTIP Units automatically convert into CROP Units. LTIP Units do not have an expiration date.

Footnote F4

Reflects the aggregate number of LTIP Units currently held by the reporting person, and excludes 37,242.025 LTIP Units which have been automatically converted to CROP Units. See footnote 3 discussing the conversion of the LTIP Units.
