Summary
Equity Residential (EQR) filed an 8-K/A on February 2, 2012, primarily to correct previously issued financial information. The initial press release on February 1, 2012, contained an error in the same-store full-year 2011 turnover data compared to 2010. A restated press release was issued on February 2, 2012, to rectify this specific data point. Investors should note that this filing is an amendment to a previous 8-K and focuses on correcting a single operational metric. The restated press release and revised financial information are furnished and not deemed 'filed' with the SEC, meaning they do not carry the same regulatory implications as a standard filing. The core financial results from the initial release, barring the turnover data, remain unchanged.
