The information set forth under Item 5.02 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.





Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 6, 2008, Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco") announced the appointment of Paul Beldin as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Beldin will also serve as Chief Accounting Officer of AIMCO-GP, Inc., the general partner of Aimco’s operating partnership, AIMCO Properties, L.P. ("Aimco OP"). Mr. Beldin will join Aimco as senior vice president on May 19, 2008, and will report to Thomas M. Herzog, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Beldin, 34, is a certified public accountant. From October 2007 to March 2008, Mr. Beldin served as chief financial officer for a proposed private equity fund specializing in multifamily apartment properties. Prior to that, Mr. Beldin served as controller and then as chief financial officer of America First Apartment Investors, Inc., a publicly traded multifamily real estate investment trust, from May 2005 to September 2007 when the company was acquired by Sentinel Real Estate Corporation. Prior to joining America First Apartment Investors, Inc., Mr. Beldin was a senior manager at Deloitte and Touche LLP, where he was employed from August 1996 to May 2005, including two years as an audit manager in SEC services at Deloitte’s national office. None of the companies where Mr. Beldin has worked in the previous five years is a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Aimco or Aimco OP. Mr. Beldin has no family relationship with any director, executive officer, or any person nominated or chosen by Aimco or Aimco OP to become a director or executive officer of Aimco or Aimco OP.

Aimco has agreed to pay Mr. Beldin a base salary of $225,000 per year. Mr. Beldin’s annual target bonus amount is $300,000. The amount of any such bonus shall be determined in Aimco’s discretion and shall be payable in a mix of cash or equity, with such mix also in Aimco’s discretion. On his start date, Mr. Beldin will also receive a cash award of $100,000, which award shall be paid out during Mr. Beldin’s employment, 25% on each anniversary of Mr. Beldin’s start date. Mr. Beldin is being provided relocation assistance not to exceed $125,000.

Except for Mr. Beldin’s currently proposed employment arrangements, since January 1, 2007, there have not been any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, to which Aimco or Aimco OP or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which Mr. Beldin had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.
