~~Greenville,~~ITEM ~~South~~1.01. ~~Carolina~~Entry ~~29602~~into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 28, 2011, Century Properties Fund XV, a California limited partnership (“CPF XV”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (~~Address~~the “Merger Agreement”) with Century Properties Fund XV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“New CPF XV”), AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“AIMCO OP”) and AIMCO CPF XV Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which ~~principal~~AIMCO ~~executive~~OP ~~offices~~is the sole member (the “Merger Subsidiary”), pursuant to which CPF XV will be merged with and into New CPF XV, with New CPF XV as the surviving entity, following which the Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into New CPF XV, with New CPF XV as the surviving entity.

In the mergers, each unit of limited partnership interest (each, a “Unit”) of CPF XV outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the mergers will be converted into an identical unit of limited partnership interest in New CPF XV (~~864~~also referred to herein as a “Unit”), following ~~239-1000~~which each Unit (other than Units held by limited partners who perfect their appraisal rights pursuant to the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the limited partner, either (i) $45.61 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) or (ii) a number of partnership common units of AIMCO OP calculated by dividing $45.61 by the average closing price of Apartment Investment and Management Company common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, over the ten consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers. However, if AIMCO OP determines that the law of the state or other jurisdiction in which a limited partner resides would prohibit the issuance of partnership common units of AIMCO OP in that state or other jurisdiction (or that registration or qualification in that state or jurisdiction would be prohibitively costly), then such limited partner will only be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration for each Unit. Those limited partners who do not make an election will be deemed to have elected to receive the Cash Consideration.

In the second merger, AIMCO OP’s membership interest in the Merger Subsidiary will be ~~(Issuer'~~converted into Units of New CPF XV. As a result, after the mergers, AIMCO OP will be the sole limited partner of New CPF XV, holding all outstanding Units. Fox Capital Management Corporation and Fox Realty Investors will continue to be the general partners of CPF XV after the mergers and CPF XV’s ~~telephone~~partnership ~~number)~~agreement prior to the mergers will be amended to reflect the mergers.

~~Check~~ Completion of the mergers is subject to certain conditions, including approval by a majority in interest of the ~~appropriate~~limited ~~box~~partners ~~below~~holding ifUnits. As of July 21, 2011, CPF XV had issued and outstanding 89,975 Units, and AIMCO OP and its affiliates owned 65,841.34 of those Units, or approximately 73.18% of the ~~Form~~number ~~8-K~~of ~~filing~~outstanding isUnits. ~~intended~~Approximately 35,473.17 of the Units owned by an affiliate of AIMCO OP are subject to ~~simultaneously~~a voting restriction, which requires such Units to be ~~satisfy~~voted in proportion to the ~~filing~~votes ~~obligations~~cast with respect to Units not subject to this voting restriction. AIMCO OP and its affiliates have indicated that they will vote all of their Units that are not subject to this restriction, approximately 30,368.17 Units or approximately 33.75% of the outstanding ~~registrant~~Units, ~~under~~in ~~any~~favor of the ~~following~~Merger Agreement and the mergers. As a result, affiliates of ~~provisions:~~AIMCO OP will vote a total of approximately 50,133 Units, or approximately 55.72% of the outstanding Units in favor of the Merger Agreement and the mergers. AIMCO OP and its affiliates have indicated that they intend to take action by written consent to approve the mergers.
