EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES INC

A description of the risk factors associated with our business are discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. We have updated our risk factors disclosed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2025 Form 10-K with the risk factor description below.

Our Share Price Could Be Volatile and Could Decline, Resulting in A Substantial or Complete Loss on Our Stockholders’ Investment.

We list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and our common stock could experience significant price and volume fluctuations. Investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including:

•issuances of other equity securities in the future, including new series or classes of preferred stock;

•our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;

•our ability to maintain compliance with covenants contained in our debt facilities;

•actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity;

•changes in expectations of future financial performance or changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;

•changes in our distribution policy;

•publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry generally;

•increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our common stock to demand a higher dividend yield;

•changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•adverse market reaction to the amount of our debt outstanding at any time, the amount of our debt maturing in the near-term and medium-term and our ability to refinance our debt, or our plans to incur additional debt in the future;

•additions or departures of key employees, management, Directors and other key personnel;

•speculation in the press or investment community;

•equity issuances by us, or share resales by our stockholders or the perception that such issuances or resales may occur;

•equity repurchases by us, or the perception that such repurchases may occur, through the Company’s stock repurchase program, including the funding sources for those repurchases;

•addition to, or removal from, market indexes used by investors to make investment decisions;

•actions by institutional stockholders; and

•general market and economic conditions.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. Those factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. It is impossible to provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock will not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive, or at all. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.
