COVID-19 UPDATE

Last Revised: May 24, 2022


CARING FOR THE SCION COMMUNITY

Across the country, our private, off-campus apartment communities have remained
open as home to our residents throughout the pandemic. We will continue to
operate at all times, including in markets where nearby universities have
returned to partial or full in-person learning as well as those that have been
providing online instruction. We are pleased to continue safely hosting our
residents for the 2021-22 term.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT STEPS IS SCION TAKING?

COVID-19 Task Force

Our multi-disciplinary task force is focused on awareness about and prevention
of coronavirus at our communities and among our team members. Our goal has been
to ensure that our teams are informed and equipped to protect the health and
safety of our communities and constituents. This Task Force has worked
tirelessly to guide safety protocols and revisions to our business processes,
responding quickly and thoroughly as the situation has evolved.

Policy and protocol changes

Cleanliness is always a priority at our communities, but we have taken extra
measures to reduce the spread of germs. Our cleaning schedules are more
frequent, and we have implemented hand-sanitizer and tissue stations in
high-traffic areas. We also adopted various policy changes, including
temporarily closing amenity spaces and providing virtual office hours when
necessary, and rethinking the way we create resident event experiences and tours
of our communities. If there is a concern of potential coronavirus exposure in
community spaces, we notify our residents and staff. Additional details on our
policy changes are provided below.

Staying informed, monitoring and contact tracing

We pride ourselves in being lifelong learners, which is why we’re committed to
staying up to date on new information that is provided by national agencies,
governmental resources and university officials. We’re also transparently
sharing with our residents and staff whenever there is potential exposure to a
reported positive case in any of our communities. When there’s a report of a
positive case in a residence, we communicate with the residents of that
apartment. We are also sharing with the entire community when there is a
reported positive case of a person who has been in community amenity spaces
within the prior ten days, always while maintaining confidentiality and
protecting each person’s privacy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

Get vaccinated

This is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and those you care about,
and to do your part in halting community spread of the virus.

Follow public health guidelines

Whether you’re a Scion team member, a resident, or one of our valued partners—we
ask that you follow government and public-health guidelines, and continue to
wear a face covering where required. If you feel sick, stay home and call a
healthcare professional immediately to help you get well.

We don’t tolerate discrimination of any kind

At Scion, many of our team members live where we work. We are proud to be part
of our diverse community and maintain a welcome and inclusive environment.
Discrimination against residents, neighbors, or team members—whether because of
country or region of origin, perceived illness or any other characteristic—will
not be accepted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT POLICY CHANGES ARE IN EFFECT?

In-person and virtual services

In an effort to increase social distancing and improve staff well-being, all
Scion communities added a “virtual office” system to continue serving our
communities through telephone calls, video chat, e-mail, direct message and
text, in addition to in-person office visits (with face coverings). Essential
employees have continued to staff our communities and to provide emergency
maintenance, sanitation and other necessary services at all times. Adjusted
business hours are implemented as needed, allowing our team members to address
cleaning, package delivery and other resident needs.

Precautions in shared amenity spaces

We have posted recommended occupancy limits according to the size and
configuration of each community space, some of which are adjusted to account for
social distancing needs. Certain amenity spaces are available with advance
reservations. Our communities are professionally staffed with on-site management
and courtesy officers, who can help with ensuring safe usage. Additionally, we
have implemented increased cleaning regimens, including electrostatic
disinfecting systems to quickly clean high touch-point locations, such as
offices, fitness rooms and business centers.

Face coverings

When the CDC lists a county in which a community is located at a “high” COVID
risk level, our staff will wear face coverings (masks) in indoor public and
amenity spaces and we will ask residents and visitors to do so as well. Our
facilities staff will also wear face coverings when completing resident service
requests at these locations or at any time when requested by a resident.

Resident events

We will continue to host resident events in accordance with the recommended
gathering limits set by local authorities, and with appropriate precautions in
place.

In-person leasing and tours

In-person tours and leasing activity have resumed at all communities, coupled
with the option of a fully virtual touring, conferencing and leasing process.

Stay informed

our page and the video below from the CDC. Be sure to get to know the state and
local resources in your area.
