Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 6, 2013, CFI CSFR Investor, LLC (“CFI CSFR”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Colony Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to remaining commitments to CAH Operating Partnership, L.P. (f/k/a CSFR Operating Partnership, L.P., “CAH OP”), funded $68 million in the aggregate in cash pursuant to a capital call by the general partner of CAH OP. CAH OP is the single-family home acquisition and rentership platform managed by affiliates of the Company’s manager.

CFI CSFR initially contributed $150 million in assets to CAH OP upon its formation on July 31, 2012, substantially all of which was in the form of previously acquired single-family residential assets. Between November 5, 2012 and February 6, 2013, CFI CSFR committed and funded cash contributions of $225 million in the aggregate for an increased associate general partnership interest and related partnership units in CAH OP. Together with the $68 million invested on May 6, 2013, the follow-on investments total $293 million in the aggregate.

Including its initial contribution of $150 million in assets, CFI CSFR has committed to invest $550 million in the aggregate in CAH OP at the same cost basis as all investors in CAH OP to date (the “CAH Commitment”) and has remaining commitments of $107 million, which remaining commitments the general partner of CAH OP is authorized to call in its discretion to meet CAH OP’s capital needs. As of the date hereof, the CAH Commitment represents approximately 25% of the aggregate capital commitments made to CAH OP.
