This statement (the "Statement") constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the
initial Schedule 14D-1 of ERP Operating Limited Partnership ("ERP") relating
to ERP's offer to purchase investor limited partnership interests (the
"Units") of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-V (the "Partnership"). The item
numbers and responses thereto are set forth below in accordance with the
requirements of Schedule 14D-1.
ITEMS 1-10.
Except as follows, incorporated by reference from ERP's Offer to
Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the Form of Letter to Unitholders,
each dated November 23, 1999.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND SUBJECT COMPANY.
(b) This Schedule relates to the offer by ERP OPERATING LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP (the "Purchaser") to purchase, in cash, up to 35,190 Units at a
purchase price equal to $875 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions
declared or made with respect to the Units between November 23, 1999 and
January 21, 2000 or such other date to which this Offer may be extended (the
"Expiration Date"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated November 23, 1999 (the "Offer Date") (as amended
or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), this amendment
to the Offer to Purchase dated December 15, 1999, and the related Letter of
Transmittal, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits as listed below.
The Partnership had 35,200 Units issued and outstanding held by approximately
2,100 holders of Units (the "Unitholders") as of December 31, 1998, according
to its Annual Report on Form 10-K. An affiliate of the Purchaser already owns
an interest in ten Units. If the Purchaser were to purchase the 35,190 Units
being offered for, it and its affiliates would own 100% of the outstanding
Units.
ITEM 5. PURPOSE OF THE TENDER OFFER AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE BIDDER.
(a)-(g) The following language should be read in conjunction with "Section 9.
Future Plans" in the Offer to Purchase:
The Purchaser currently intends that, upon consummation of the Offer, the
Partnership will continue its business and operations substantially as they
are currently being conducted. The Offer is not expected to have any effect
on Partnership operations. However, if the Purchaser acquires over 50% of the
outstanding Units, it will have a majority of the Investor Limited Partner
interests in the Partnership. Under Section 13.2 of the Partnership
Agreement, a majority in interest of the Investor Limited Partners, without
the concurrence of the General Partners or the Original Limited Partners (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement), may: (a) amend the Partnership
Agreement, subject to some limitations; (b) terminate the Partnership; (c)
remove any General Partner and elect a replacement therefor (provided that
the admission of such replacement as a General Partner shall be specifically
consented to in writing by Investor Limited Partners holding not less than
two-thirds of the total Units); and (d) approve or disapprove the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.

SUPPLEMENT TO OFFER TO PURCHASE
ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(THE "PURCHASER")
IS OFFERING TO PURCHASE 35,190 UNITS OF
INVESTOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF
(THE "OFFER")
KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-V
(THE "PARTNERSHIP")
FOR $875 PER UNIT IN CASH
(THE "OFFER PRICE")
We will accept all Units (as defined below) in response to the Offer in our
Offer to Purchase, dated November 23, 1999, as amended and supplemented from
time to time. We are currently seeking to acquire 35,190 Units. One of our
affiliates already owns an interest in ten Units. If we were to purchase the
35,190 Units being offered for, we and our affiliate would own 100% of the
outstanding Units. The Offer is not subject to a minimum number of Units being
tendered. If Units are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to
January 21, 2000 (the "Expiration Date"), unless extended, and the purchase of
all such Units would result in there being less than 350 Unitholders, we will
purchase only 99% of the total number of Units so tendered by each limited
partner.
We will pay for accepted Units promptly after the Expiration Date.
The Offer Price will be reduced for any distributions declared or made by
the Partnership between November 23, 1999 and the Expiration Date, unless
further extended. THE PURCHASER WILL PAY ANY TRANSFER FEES, BROKERAGE FEES OR
COMMISSION THAT MAY ARISE UPON THE TENDER OF UNITS TO THE PURCHASER IN
CONNECTION WITH ITS OFFER (generally, up to 10% of the sales price, subject to a
$150-200 minimum commission per trade). We are unaware of any other fees or
commissions that you may incur.
PLEASE READ THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, DATED NOVEMBER 23, 1999, FOR A
DESCRIPTION OF THE TERMS OF THE OFFER.
We currently intend that, upon consummation of the Offer, the Partnership
will continue its business and operations substantially as they are currently
being conducted. The Offer is not expected to have any effect on the
Partnership's operations. However, if the Purchaser acquires more than 50% of
the outstanding Units, it will have a majority of the Investor Limited Partner
interests in the Partnership. The Partnership's Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") provides that a majority in interest
of the Investor Limited Partners, without the concurrence of the General
Partners or the Original Limited Partner (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), may: amend the Partnership Agreement, subject to some limitations;
terminate the Partnership; remove any General Partner; and approve or disapprove
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership.
If you desire to accept the Offer, you should complete and sign the enclosed
blue letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") in accordance with the
instructions thereto and mail or deliver the signed Letter of Transmittal and
any other required documents to MMS Escrow and Transfer Agency, Inc. (the
"Depositary"), at one of its addresses set forth on the front cover of the blue
Letter of Transmittal.
Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Offer
to Purchase or the Letter of Transmittal may also be directed to the Depositary
at (888) 292-4264.
We are offering to purchase all of the outstanding limited partnership
interests (the "Units") in the Partnership for the Offer Price of $875 per Unit,
net to the seller in cash, without interest, less the amount of distributions,
if any, declared or made by the Partnership in respect of any Unit from
November 23, 1999 until the Expiration Date, unless further extended. The Offer
is made upon the terms and subject to the
<PAGE>
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 23, 1999, an
amendment to the Offer to Purchase dated December 15, 1999, this Supplement
dated December 15, 1999, and the Letters of Transmittal dated November 23, 1999
and December 15, 1999.
We have extended the Expiration Date of the Offer to January 21, 2000,
12:00 midnight, central standard time. If you desire to accept the Offer, you
must complete and sign the blue Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the
instructions contained therein and forward or hand deliver it, together with any
other required documents, to the Depositary. You may withdraw your tender of
Units pursuant to the Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless
accepted for payment as provided in the Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn
any time on or after March 31, 2000.
On December 2, 1999, the Partnership received an acquisition proposal from
KR5 Acquisition, L.L.C., a newly formed Delaware limited liability company
affiliated with the General Partners ("KR5 Acquisition"), to acquire outstanding
Units for $864 per Unit in cash. The proposed transaction would be structured as
a merger of the Partnership into KR5 Acquisition, in which all outstanding
partnership interests other than those held by affiliates of the General
Partners and certain current limited partners who will be reinvesting their
Units in KR5 Acquisition (the "Investors"), would receive the $864 per Unit
merger price, which amount will not be reduced by distributions declared or made
by the Partnership to holders of Units (the "Merger Proposal"). The Merger
Proposal is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the merger
and necessary amendments to the Partnership Agreement by the holders of a
majority of the Units. The Merger Proposal is not subject to a financing
condition. The Investors, who own approximately 11% of the outstanding Units,
have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal. The General Partners intend
to cause the Partnership to distribute proxy materials to holders of Units to
seek approval of the Merger Proposal and related amendments to the Partnership
Agreement, and presently anticipate that if all conditions to the Merger
Proposal are satisfied, consummation of the merger would occur in the first
quarter of 2000. However, there is no assurance that the Merger Proposal will be
consummated or that it will not be delayed.
As a Unitholder, you currently have two options. One option is to tender
your Units to us in the Offer and receive the Offer Price of $875 per Unit, less
any distributions as described above. The other option is to continue to hold
your Units. However, if you decide not to tender your Units in this Offer, you
may be forced to accept a lower price per Unit if the KR5 Acquisition Merger
Proposal is approved and the Partnership is merged into KR5 Acquisition.
Currently, it is proposed that if the Merger Proposal is approved, you will be
required to sell your Units at $864 per Unit, $11 less than the Purchaser's
Offer Price of $875 and you will not have the option to hold onto your Units in
the Partnership.
The blue Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents should be
sent or delivered by each tendering Unitholder or such Unitholder's broker,
dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee to the Depositary at one of its
addresses set forth below or faxed to the Depositary to the number below, with
an original copy sent in the mail thereafter. If you completed the previously
sent green Letter of Transmittal and delivered it to the Depositary and have not
withdrawn such tender, you do not need to complete the blue Letter of
Transmittal for your Units to be tendered to the Purchaser.

Our offer price of $875 per Unit will be decreased by the amount of any
distribution declared or made with respect to the Units between November 23,
1999 and January 21, 2000, or such other date to which the Offer may further be
extended. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS OR FEES IN CONNECTION

<PAGE>
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to ERP OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the
"Purchaser") all of the units of investor limited partnership interest (the
"Units") in the Partnership held by the undersigned or, if less than all such
Units, the number set forth below in the signature box, at a purchase price
equal to $875 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions made or declared
with respect to the Units between November 23, 1999 and the Expiration Date, and
upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") dated November 23, 1999 (the "Offer Date")
and amended on December 15, 1999 and in this Letter of Transmittal, as each may
be supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute the
"Offer"). Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is hereby acknowledged. The
undersigned recognizes that if the purchase of the Units would result in there
being less than 350 Unitholders, the Purchaser will purchase only 99% of the
total number of Units so tendered by each investor limited partner with
adjustments rounded up or down, at the sole discretion of the Purchaser, to
avoid the purchase of fractional Units. Subject to and effective upon acceptance
for payment of any of the Units tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells,
assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, Purchaser all right, title and
interest in and to such Units which are purchased pursuant to the Offer.
The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser as
the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact and proxy of the undersigned with
respect to such Units, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney
and proxy being deemed to be an irrevocable power and proxy coupled with an
interest), to deliver such Units and transfer ownership of such Units, on the
books of the Partnership, together with all accompanying evidences of transfer
and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Purchaser and, upon payment of the
purchase price in respect of such Units by the Purchaser, to exercise all voting
rights and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of
beneficial ownership of such Units all in accordance with the terms of the
Offer. Subject to and effective upon the purchase of any Units tendered hereby,
the undersigned hereby requests that the Purchaser be admitted to the
Partnership as a "Substitute Limited Partner" under the terms of the Amended
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. Upon the purchase of Units
pursuant to the Offer, all prior proxies and consents given by the undersigned
with respect to such Units will be revoked and no subsequent proxies or consents
may be given (and if given will not be deemed effective). In addition, by
executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned assigns to the Purchaser
all of the undersigned's rights to receive distributions from the Partnership
with respect to Units which are purchased pursuant to the Offer, other than
distributions declared or paid through the Expiration Date and to change the
address of record for such distributions on the books of the Partnership. Upon
request, the Seller will execute and deliver, and irrevocably directs any
custodian to execute and deliver, any additional documents deemed by the
Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and
purchase of such Units.
The undersigned irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and any
designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of
the undersigned with respect to such Units, with full power of substitution
(such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an
interest), to withdraw any or all of such Units that have been previously
tendered in response to any tender or exchange offer provided that the price per
Unit being offered by the Purchaser is equal to or higher than the price per
Unit being offered in the previous tender or exchange offer. This appointment is
effective immediately and shall continue to be effective unless and until such
Units are withdrawn from the Offer by the undersigned prior to the Expiration
Date.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned owns the
Units tendered hereby within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and has full power and authority to validly
tender, sell, assign and transfer the Units tendered hereby, and that when any
such Units are purchased by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good,
marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other
obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof, and such Units will not be
subject to any adverse claim. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and
deliver any additional documents deemed by the Purchaser to be necessary or
desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of Units tendered
hereby.
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligations of the undersigned
shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, trustees in
bankruptcy, legal representatives, and successors and assigns of the
undersigned.

The undersigned further represents and warrants that, to the extent a
certificate evidencing the Units tendered hereby (the "original certificate") is
not delivered by the undersigned together with this Letter of Transmittal: (i)
the undersigned represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the undersigned
has not sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned, pledged, deposited or otherwise
disposed of any portion of the Units; (ii) the undersigned has caused a diligent
search of the records to be taken and has been unable to locate the original
certificate; (iii) if the undersigned shall find or recover the original
certificate evidencing the Units, the undersigned will immediately and without
consideration surrender it to the Purchaser; and (iv) the undersigned shall at
all times indemnify, defend, and save harmless the Purchaser and the
Partnership, its successors, and its assigns from and against any and all
claims, actions, and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs, charges, counsel
fees, and other expenses of every nature and character by reason of honoring or
refusing to honor the original certificate when presented by or on behalf of a
holder in due course of a holder appearing to or believed by the Partnership to
be such, or by issuance or delivery of a replacement certificate, or the making
of any payment, delivery, or credit in respect of the original certificate
without surrender thereof, or in respect of the replacement certificate.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
the right of the Purchaser to effect a change of distribution address to Two
North Riverside Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The undersigned recognizes that
under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase,
the Purchaser may not be required to accept for payment any of the Units
tendered hereby. In such event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of
Transmittal for Units not accepted for payment will be destroyed by
the Purchaser. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall
survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the
undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to
Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

your bank or brokerage house. If you obtain a Medallion Signature Guarantee from

corporate seal) from the bank, brokerage house or trust company must be included

trustees, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such
persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence
satisfactory to the Purchaser of their authority to so act. For Units to be

together with any required signature guarantees in Box A, and any other
documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the
depositary prior to or on the Expiration Date at its address or facsimile number

2. TRANSFER TAXES. The Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid all transfer

Offer.
3. U.S. PERSONS. A Unitholder who or which is a United States citizen or
resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a
domestic trust or a domestic estate (collectively "United States Persons"), as
those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations,
should complete the following:
BOX B--SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal income tax
backup withholding, the Unitholder must provide to the Purchaser the
Unitholder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security
Number ("TIN") in the space provided below the signature line and certify,
under penalties of perjury, that such Unitholder is not subject to such
backup withholding. The TIN that must be provided is that of the registered
Unitholder. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), in addition to the Unitholder being
subject to backup withholding. Certain Unitholders (including, among others,
all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes,
a refund may be obtained from the IRS.
BOX C--FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT. To avoid potential withholding of tax pursuant
to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code, each Unitholder who or which
is a United States Person (as defined in Instruction 3 above) must certify,
under penalties of perjury, the Unitholder's TIN and address, and that the
Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the
Internal Revenue Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an
overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.
BOX D--FOREIGN PERSONS. In order for a Unitholder who is a foreign
person (i.e., not a United States Person as defined in Instruction 3 above)
to qualify as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unitholder
must certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in BOX D of this
Letter of Transmittal attesting to that foreign person's status by checking
the box preceding such statement. However, such person will be subject to
