Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or MAA, and Mid-America Apartments, L.P., or MAALP, are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, or Current Report, to retrospectively revise certain financial information and related disclosures included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for MAA and MAALP for the year ended December 31, 2017, or the 2017 Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2018, to conform with the segment reporting change described below. MAA and MAALP are collectively referred to in this Current Report as the Company.

As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, effective January 1, 2018, the Company revised its reportable segment presentation. The revision eliminated the distinction between large and secondary same store markets and combined the two previously reported segments into the Same Store reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker no longer makes decisions about capital resource allocations and does not assess operating performance by large and secondary same store markets. Further, the chief operating decision maker no longer reviews financial information segregating the Company's operating segments into large and secondary same store markets. As a result, the Company now discloses two reportable segments: Same Store and Non-Same Store and Other. There were no changes in the structure of the Company’s internal organization that prompted the change in reportable segments.

To reflect the change in segment reporting, the following Items of the 2017 Form 10-K have been revised retrospectively (which Items as revised are presented in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein):

	Part I Item 2. Properties

	Part II Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

	Part II Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The segment presentation in these retrospectively revised Items of the 2017 Form 10-K is consistent with the segment presentation set forth in the financial information and related disclosures included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2018 and August 2, 2018, respectively. The recast consolidated financial statements presented in Exhibit 99.1 do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements.

In addition, the Company has revised the "Contractual Obligations" table in Part II Item 7 of the 2017 Form 10-K to reflect the expected cash requirements as of December 31, 2017 for interest payments arising from outstanding variable rate debt that are not subject to interest rate swap agreements. The revised "Contractual Obligations" table is set forth in Part II Item 7 as presented in Exhibit 99.1.

This Current Report does not reflect changes, activities or events occurring subsequent to the original filing date of the 2017 Form 10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than as required to retrospectively reflect the change in segment reporting and revise the "Contractual Obligations" table as described above. All other information in the 2017 Form 10-K remains unchanged. The information in this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K. Accordingly, references in Exhibit 99.1 to “this Annual Report on Form 10-K” are to the 2017 Form 10-K, as retrospectively revised by the information in Exhibit 99.1.

For information on developments since the filing of the 2017 10-K, please refer to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to February 23, 2018, including the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K.
