Item 8.01	Other Events.

The Board of Directors of Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has scheduled the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) for November 6, 2019. The exact time and location of the 2019 Annual Meeting will be specified in the Company’s notice and proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting. Because the expected date of the 2019 Annual Meeting is being delayed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is giving notice to stockholders of this change and is updating the applicable deadlines for the submission of stockholder proposals for the 2019 Annual Meeting. Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting must be received in writing by the Company’s Secretary no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on September 15, 2019 (which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials) in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to the 2019 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Such proposals must also comply with the applicable form and substance requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act if such proposals are to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy.

In addition, for any nomination or other business to be properly presented by a stockholder at the 2019 Annual Meeting, other than a stockholder proposal included in the proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8, the stockholder must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company and any such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely under the Company’s current bylaws, the notice must be delivered in writing to the Secretary, along with the appropriate supporting documentation, as applicable, at the Company’s principal executive office not earlier than August 21, 2019 and no later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on September 15, 2019. Under the bylaws, stockholders must follow certain procedures to nominate a person for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders, or to introduce an item of business at such meeting.

All notices of intention to present director nominations or other business proposals at the 2019 Annual Meeting, whether or not intended to be included in the Company’s proxy materials, should be addressed to: Secretary, Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc., 18100 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 500, Irvine, California 92612.
