Additional SEC filing notes

Filing notes and footnotes

Explanation of responses 6 footnotes

Footnote F1

Represents the sale of shares for the payment of tax liability incurred upon the vesting of restricted shares.

Footnote F2

Represents shares acquired through profit sharing contributions and dividend reinvestment activity in the reporting person's account with the Equity Residential Advantage 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, a plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such shares represent acquisitions through January 16, 2026.

Footnote F3

Represents shares owned by Principal Trust Company, as Trustee of the Equity Residential Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"), for the benefit of the reporting person. Also includes restricted shares that the reporting person deferred to the SERP upon vesting of the shares.

Footnote F4

On February 9, 2026, the reporting person received a grant of Series 2026B restricted limited partnership interests ("RUs") in ERP Operating Limited Partnership (the "OP"), the operating partnership of Equity Residential (the "Company"), in lieu of restricted shares of the Company as part of the Company's annual grant of long-term compensation.

Footnote F5

RUs are a class of partnership interest that automatically convert into an equal number of limited partnership interests of the OP ("OP Units") when the capital account related to the RUs reaches a specified target for federal income tax purposes (provided such target is reached within ten years of issuance). Subject to the vesting requirements of the grant and certain other restrictions, OP Units are exchangeable by the holder for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at the Company's option. The RUs reflected in this report also include any OP Units into which such RUs automatically convert.

Footnote F6

The Restricted Units are scheduled to vest on February 9, 2029.
