Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)

Registration No. 333-280243

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(to Prospectus dated June 25, 2024)

$10,333,203

Class A common stock

This prospectus supplement relates to the issuance and sale of shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,333,203, from time to time solely through R.F. Lafferty & Co., Inc. and The Benchmark Company, LLC, as the exclusive sales agents (who we refer to herein as the "Sales Agents"). Any sales consummated under this prospectus supplement will be made under an "at-the-market" offering program under the terms of an At the Market Offering Agreement between us and the Sales Agents, dated September 17, 2025 (the "Sales Agreement"), pursuant to which we may sell up shares of our Class A common stock as set forth therein. See "Plan of Distribution."

Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "CWD." On September 15, 2025, the last reported sale price for our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $7.45 per share.

Sales of our Class A common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement may be made in sales deemed to be "at-the-market offerings" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The Sales Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will act as the sales agents on a best efforts basis and will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the Sales Agents' normal trading and sales practices, to sell on our behalf all of the shares of Class A common stock requested to be sold by us on mutually agreed terms between the Sales Agents and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement. If we and the Sales Agents agree on any method of distribution other than sales of shares of our Class A common stock on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a further prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation under the terms of the Sales Agreement at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of Class A common stock sold. In connection with the sale of the Class A common stock on our behalf, each of the Sales Agents will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Sales Agents will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

As of September 12, 2025, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates, or the public float, was approximately $34,382,111.40, which was calculated based on 3,778,254 shares of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates at a price of $9.10 per share, the closing price of our common stock on Septmeber 9, 2025. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period, or $11,460,703.80. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have sold approximately $1,127,500 of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the 12 calendar months prior to, and including, the date of this prospectus supplement, and are therefore eligible to sell up to an additional $10,333,203.80 of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on this registration statement in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75 million.

Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. Please read "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement, page 4 of the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to purchase our Class A common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of Class A common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus, or the base prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, dated June 25, 2024, provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus supplement, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, before the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date-for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus-the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the SEC, using a "shelf" registration process. The $10,333,203 of Class A common stock that may be offered, issued and sold under this prospectus is included in the $50.0 million of securities that may be offered, issued and sold by us pursuant to our shelf registration statement. This prospectus is deemed a prospectus supplement to the accompanying prospectus included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, includes additional information not contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Business

The following summary of our business highlights some of the information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, which are identified under "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference" in this prospectus supplement and under "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference" in the accompanying base prospectus. You should also carefully consider the matters discussed in the section in this prospectus supplement entitled "Risk Factors" and in the accompanying base prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in other documents incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

Over the past 16 years, Caliber has grown into a leading diversified alternative asset management firm, managing more than $2.9 billion in assets under management ("AUM") and assets under development ("AUD"). Caliber's primary goal is to enhance the wealth of accredited investors seeking to make investments in middle-market assets. We strive to build wealth for our clients by creating, managing, and servicing middle-market investment funds, private syndications, and direct investments. Through our funds, we invest primarily in real estate, private equity, and debt facilities. We market and fundraise to private investors, family offices, and institutions ("Direct Channel") and to registered investment advisers and independent broker-dealers ("Wholesale Channel").

We believe that we provide investors attractive risk-adjusted returns by offering a balance of (i) structured offerings and ease of ownership, (ii) a pipeline of investment opportunities, primarily projects that range in value between $5.0 million and $50.0 million, and (iii) an integrated execution and processing platform. Our investment strategy leverages the local market intelligence and real-time data we gain from our operations to evaluate current investments, generate proprietary transaction flow, and implement various asset management strategies.

As an alternative asset manager, we offer a full suite of support services and employ a vertically integrated approach to investment management. Our asset management activities are complemented with transaction and advisory services, including development and construction management, acquisition and disposition expertise, and fund formation, which we believe differentiate us from other asset management firms. We earn the following fees from providing these services under our asset management platform (the "Platform"):

· Fund set-up fees are a one-time fee for the initial formation, administration, and set-up of the private equity real estate fund. These fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance under the contract is complete.
· Fund management fees are generally based on 1.0% to 1.5% of the unreturned capital contributions in a particular fund and include reimbursement for costs incurred on behalf of the fund, including an allocation of certain overhead costs. These customer contracts require the Company to provide management services, representing a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time. With respect to the Caliber Hospitality Trust, the Company earns a fund management fee of 0.7% of the Caliber Hospitality Trust's enterprise value and is reimbursed for certain costs incurred on behalf of the Caliber Hospitality Trust.
· Financing fees are earned for services the Company performs in securing third-party financing on behalf of our private equity real estate funds. These fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance under the contract is complete, which is essentially upon closing of a loan. In addition, the Company earns fees for guaranteeing certain loans, representing a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time.
· Real estate development revenues are generally based on 4.0% of the total expected costs of the development or 4.0% of the total expected costs of the construction project for services performed as the principal developer, which include managing and supervising third party developers and general contractors with respect to the development of the properties owned by the funds. Prior to the commencement of construction, development fee revenue is recognized at a point in time as the related performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the promised service, including negotiation, due diligence, entitlements, planning, and design activities. During the construction period, development fee revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied.

S-1

· Brokerage fees are earned at a point in time at fixed rates for services performed related to acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and financing transaction.
· Performance allocations are an arrangement in which we are entitled to an allocation of investment returns, generated within the investment funds which we manage, based on a contractual formula. We typically receive 15.0% to 35.0% of all cash distributions from (i) the operating cash flow of each fund, after payment to the related fund investors of any accumulated and unpaid priority preferred returns and repayment of preferred capital contributions; and (ii) the cash flow resulting from the sale or refinance of any real estate assets held by each fund, after payment to the related fund investors of any accumulated and unpaid priority preferred returns and repayment of initial preferred capital contributions. Our funds' preferred returns range from 6.0% to 12.0%, typically 6.0% for common equity or 10.0% to 12.0% for preferred equity, which does not participate in profits. Performance allocations are related to services which have been provided and are recognized when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal, which is generally satisfied when an underlying fund investment is realized or sold.

We have a number of development, redevelopment, construction, and entitlement projects that are underway or are in the planning stages, which we define as AUD. This category includes projects to be built on undeveloped land and projects to be built and constructed on undeveloped lands, which are not yet owned by our funds. Completing these development activities may ultimately result in income-producing assets, assets we may sell to third parties, or both. As of September 30, 2024, we are involved in the development of 1,796 multifamily units, 697 single family units, 3.7 million square feet of commercial and industrial, and 3.5 million square feet of office and retail. If all of these projects are brought to completion, the total cost capitalized to these projects, which represents total current estimated costs to complete the development and construction of such projects by us or a third party, is $2.1 billion, which we expect would be funded through a combination of undeployed fund cash, third-party equity, project sales, tax credit financing and similar incentives, and secured debt financing. We are under no obligation to complete these projects and may dispose of any such assets at any time. There can be no assurance that AUD will ultimately be developed or constructed because of the nature of the cost of the approval and development process and market demand for a particular use. In addition, the mix of residential and commercial assets under development may change prior to final development. The development of these assets will require significant additional financing or other sources of funding, which may not be available.

The LINK Strategy

Our Board of Directors has adopted a treasury policy under which the principal holding in our treasury reserve on the balance sheet will be allocated to digital assets, starting with Chainlink (LINK) by applying a public-market treasury model to an asset that's earlier in its lifecycle, structurally reflexive, and vastly underexposed as compared to Bitcoins. The Board approved our new treasury policy on August 25, 2025, authorizing long-term accumulation of LINK.

We will explore acquiring Chainlink validators and aims to acquire and stake LINK through them. The validator business seeks to acquire outside stake and use the corresponding revenue to acquire more LINK. Validators are blockchain nodes on the network with core functions including validating transactions and maintaining network consensus. To operate a validator on Chainlink, one must commit or 'stake' a certain amount of LINK. In return, validator operators are rewarded with more LINK tokens.

We will continue operating our existing core operating business in addition to our focus on our aforementioned treasury policy.

Recent Financing

On September 11, 2025, we sold 15,868 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, to Mast Hill Fund, L.P. at a per share price of $1,000. The shares are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at a conversion price of $250.00, with beneficial ownership restrictions and share cap limitations, as set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation. See "Description of Securities - Series B Preferred Stock".

Implications of Being an "Emerging Growth Company"

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under the federal securities laws. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from specified disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include the following:

· not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting;
· not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
· reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation; and
· exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

S-2

An emerging growth company may delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards provided to emerging growth companies.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which we have, during the immediately preceding three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities and (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. Such reduced disclosure and corporate governance obligations may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

Our principal executive offices are located at 8901 E. Mountain View Rd. Ste. 150, Scottsdale, AZ 85258 and our telephone number is (602) 295-7600. We maintain a website at www.calibercos.com.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that our business faces numerous financial and market risks, including those described below, as well as general economic and business risks. Our securities are speculative, and you should not make an investment in Caliber unless you can afford to bear the loss of your entire investment. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Class A common stock, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as updated by our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are incorporated herein by reference, together with the information in this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus and any other information incorporated by reference herein or therein. Before you decide whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, together with all of the other information included in or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement or the base prospectus. The risks and uncertainties identified are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. If any of the material risks or uncertainties that we face were to occur, you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to this Offering

We have broad discretion in the use of our available cash and other sources of funding, including the net proceeds we receive from this offering, and may not use them effectively.

Our management has broad discretion in the use of our available cash and other sources of funding, including the net proceeds we receive in this offering, and could spend those resources for purposes other than those described in the "Use of Proceeds" portion of this prospectus supplement, and in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Class A common stock. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline and delay the development of our product candidates. Pending their use, we may invest our available cash, including the net proceeds we receive in this offering, in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

Resales of our Class A common stock in the public market during this offering by our stockholders may cause the market price of our Class A common stock to fall.

We may issue Class A common stock from time to time in connection with this offering. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our Class A common stock, or our ability to issue these shares of Class A common stock in this offering, could result in resales of our Class A common stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Class A common stock.

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agents and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver placement notices to the Sales Agents at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Sales Agents after our delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the Class A common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Sales Agents.

The shares of Class A common stock offered under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be sold in "at the market" offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus at different times will likely pay different prices, and may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience declines in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

S-5

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you may suffer dilution of your investment.

The offering price per share of common stock in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share outstanding prior to this offering. Because the sales of the common stock offered hereby will be made directly into the market, the prices at which we sell these shares will vary, and these variations may be significant. Purchasers of the common stock we sell, as well as holders of our existing shares of common stock, will experience significant dilution if we sell common stock at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.

Nasdaq has informed us that we do not meet the continued listing standards for stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2025.

On August 27, 2025 we received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq with respect to our stockholders equity amount reported in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as filed with the Commission on August 14, 2025. The deficiency letterindicates that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders' equity for continued listing. We reported a stockholders' deficit of approximately $17.6 million in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025, and, as a result, we do not currently satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Such notice has no immediate impact on the listing of our Class A common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. The notice provides us with 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements. In the event we fail to regain compliance within the compliance period set forth in the deficiency letter, we would have the right to a hearing before an independent panel. The hearing request would halt any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.

Risks Related to Our Business and LINK Strategy

Our financial results and the market price of our common stock may be affected by the prices of LINK.

As part of our capital allocation strategy, we have invested in LINK and plan to continue to invest in LINK. The price of LINK has historically been subject to dramatic price fluctuations and is highly volatile. Any decrease in the fair value of LINK below our carrying value could require us to incur a loss due to the decrease in fair market value, and such a charge could be material to our financial results for the applicable reporting period, which may create significant volatility in our reported earnings. Any decrease in reported earnings or increased volatility of such earnings could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, if investors view the value of our Class A common stock as dependent upon or linked to the value or change in the value of our LINK holdings, the price of LINK may significantly influence the market price of our Class A common stock.

Our share price has in the past and may in the future fluctuate substantially.

The market price of our Class A common stock has in the past and could in the future be extremely volatile. From the date of our initial public offering in May 2023 to September 12, 2025, the high and low prices of our Class A common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $154.00 and $1.70, respectively. The future market price of our Class A common stock may be significantly affected by many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

· actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results, including fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results;
· overall conditions in our industry and the markets in which we operate or in the economy as a whole;
· changes in laws or regulations applicable to our operations;
· actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
· announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
· additions or departures of key personnel;
· issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
· fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
· litigation matters;
· announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;
· sales of our Class A common stock by us or our stockholders;
· share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
· the expiration of contractual lock-up agreements with our executive officers, directors and stockholders; and
· general economic and market conditions.

In addition, the market price for our Class A common stock may be influenced by many factors related to the Chainlink protocol and our use of LINK as a treasury asset, including: our LINK treasury strategy; developments in the Chainlink ecosystem; regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries related to digital assets and blockchain; variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us that also have a digital asset treasury strategy; and general economic, industry and market conditions in the cryptocurrency industry.

S-6

Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our Class A common stock. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Our LINK holdings are less liquid than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.

Historically, crypto markets have been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various other risks inherent in their entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability, we may not be able to sell our LINK at favorable prices or at all. Further, we transact with trade execution partners. These entities do not have the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation. If a custodian were to become insolvent, it is possible that we face delays or difficulties obtaining our LINK, or may not be able to obtain all of the LINK that we had deposited with the custodian. We may also be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered LINK or otherwise generate funds using our LINK, especially during times of market instability or when the price of LINK has declined significantly.

We have not previously implemented a digital asset treasury reserve policy, and our policy has not been tested.

Our Treasury Reserve Policy is new and relatively untested. There can be no assurance that the policy will achieve its intended objectives or that our digital asset acquisition strategy will be successful. If the price of LINK were to decrease or our digital asset acquisition strategy otherwise proves unsuccessful, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our Class A common stock could be materially adversely impacted. Some investors and other market participants may disagree with our digital asset acquisition strategy or actions we undertake to implement it.

If we were deemed to be an "investment company" under Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), the applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our businesses as conducted and could have a material adverse effect on our businesses.

An entity will generally be deemed to be an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act if:

· it is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or
· absent an applicable exemption, it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

S-7

With respect to our existing core operating business, our exemptions from the registration requirements of an investment company under the Investment Company Act are threefold:

· Our parent company does not meet the asset test component of the definition of "investment company" under the Investment Company Act as summarized above;
· Our investment subsidiaries qualify under the exemption afforded by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act; and
· Our intermediate subsidiaries qualify under the exemption afforded by Section 3(c)(6) of the Investment Company Act.

With respect to our core operating business, we are engaged primarily in the business of investing in and providing services for real estate and real estate-related assets and not primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. We hold ourselves out as a vertically integrated alternative asset management firm and do not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Accordingly, we do not believe that we are required to register as an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act. Furthermore, with respect to our core operating business, we have no material assets other than interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries (within the meaning of the Investment Company Act), which in turn will have either direct interests in real estate assets or limited liability company member or limited partner partnership interests in affiliated funds. We do not believe that, based on current rules and interpretations, the equity interests in our wholly owned subsidiaries or the limited liability company member interests consolidated, or unconsolidated affiliated funds qualify as investment securities under the Investment Company Act.

With respect to our digital asset treasury reserve policy, LINK and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of LINK. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of LINK or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer LINK. If LINK is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of LINK and, in turn, adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. If LINK is determined to be an investment security under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), we may need to take steps to reduce our holdings of LINK as a percentage of our total assets, which may include selling LINK that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in assets that are not considered to be investment securities under the 1940 Act. In addition, such a determination could adversely affect the market price of LINK and in turn adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Investment Company Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operation of investment companies. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If anything were to happen that would cause us to be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act and if we are not able to come within an available exemption or exclusion under the Investment Company Act, then we would have to register as an investment company and this would could make it impractical for us to continue our businesses as currently conducted, and could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to limit the amount of investments that we make as a principal or otherwise conduct our businesses in a manner that does not subject us to the registration and other requirements of the Investment Company Act.

We are not subject to legal and regulatory obligations that apply to investment companies such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or to obligations applicable to investment advisers.

This means, among other things, that the execution of or changes to our Digital Asset Treasury Policy or our LINK strategy, our use of leverage, the manner in which our LINK is custodied, our ability to engage in transactions with affiliated parties and our operating and investment activities generally are not subject to the extensive legal and regulatory requirements and prohibitions that apply to regulated investment vehicles. As a result, investors in our company may be exposed to greater volatility, concentration risk and governance discretion than they would be if we were subject to the protections afforded to regulated investment vehicles.

S-8

We may be subject to additional tax liability if regulation or policy changes adversely affect the tax treatment of rewards from staking LINK.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of rewards from staking digital assets such as LINK remains uncertain and is currently under the subject of debate and regulatory attention. If regulation or policy changes, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, results in adverse tax treatment of rewards from staking LINK, we could be subject to increased audits by the IRS and additional tax liabilities.

We may face operational, technological, and security risks related to our LINK holdings.

Security breaches and cyberattacks are of particular concern with respect to our LINK. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result in a partial or total loss of our LINK in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody agreements with the custodians who hold our LINK. In addition, the implementation and management of our Digital Asset Treasury Strategy may require new systems, controls, and expertise, and may expose us to operational risks not previously encountered, including risks related to blockchain technology, smart contracts, and network outages.

The irreversibility of digital asset transactions exposes us to risks of theft, loss and human error, which could negatively impact our business.

Digital asset transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the transaction or, in theory, control or consent of a majority of the processing power on that digital asset network. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer of digital assets or a theft of digital assets generally will not be reversible, and we may not be capable of seeking compensation for any such transfer or theft.

Our Treasury Reserve Policy exposes us to risk of non-performance by counterparties.

Our Treasury Reserve Policy exposes us to the risk of non-performance by counterparties, whether contractual or otherwise. Risk of non-performance includes inability or refusal of a counterparty to perform because of a deterioration in the counterparty's financial condition and liquidity or for any other reason. For example, our execution partners, custodians, or other counterparties might fail to perform in accordance with the terms of our agreements with them, which could result in a loss of LINK, a loss of the opportunity to generate funds, or other losses.

Our Digital Asset Treasury Strategy could create complications with third party service providers, such as insurance companies, banking entities and auditors, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business.

Our Digital Asset Treasury Strategy could create complications with third party service providers that may place a high risk on companies engaging in such a strategy. For example, third-party service providers may refuse to enter into commercially acceptable contracts with us and other companies that engage in similar treasury strategies with digital assets. This could have a number of adverse impacts on the operation of our business, including increased costs or loss of access to insurance, banking, or audit services.

Technological obsolescence and competition could adversely affect the value of LINK.

The digital asset ecosystem is characterized by rapid technological innovation, short development cycles, and intense competition among blockchain protocols and related infrastructure providers. If the Chainlink protocol is unable to evolve to address increased competition or if new technologies are adopted in place of Chainlink, the value of LINK could decline, adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

S-9

The emergence or growth of other digital assets, including those with significant private or public sector backing, could have a negative impact on the price of LINK and, consequently, adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

The emergence or growth of digital assets other than LINK may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. If the mechanisms for validating transactions in other digital assets are perceived as superior to those used by the Chainlink protocol, those digital assets could gain market share relative to LINK.

The due diligence procedures conducted by us and our liquidity providers to mitigate transaction risk may fail to prevent transactions with a sanctioned entity.

We have and will continue to execute trades through U.S.-based liquidity providers, and rely on these third parties to implement controls and procedures to mitigate the risk of transacting with sanctioned entities. There is no guarantee that these procedures will be effective, and if we are found to have transacted in LINK with bad actors or sanctioned persons, we may be subject to regulatory proceedings and restrictions.

The launch of central bank digital currencies ("CBDCs") may adversely impact our business.

The introduction of a government-issued digital currency could eliminate or reduce the need or demand for private-sector issued crypto currencies, or significantly limit their utility. National governments around the world could introduce CBDCs, which could in turn limit the size of the market opportunity for LINK and other digital assets.

Intellectual property disputes related to the open-source structure of digital asset networks expose us to risks related to software development, security vulnerabilities and potential disruptions to digital asset technology could threaten our ability to operate.

Digital asset networks are typically open-source projects and, although there may be an influential group of leaders in the network community, generally there is often no official developer or group of developers that formally controls the digital asset network. Without guaranteed financial incentives, there may be insufficient resources to address emerging issues, upgrade security or implement necessary improvements to the network in a timely manner. If the digital asset network's software is not properly maintained or developed, it could become vulnerable to security threats, operational inefficiencies and reduced trust, all of which could negatively impact the digital assets' long-term viability and our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $10,333,203 from time to time under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our Class A common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement.

We currently intend to use the majority of the net proceeds from this offering, if any, for the acquisition of digital assets, starting with LINK, and the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes with respect to our existing core operating business. In addition, we may use the net proceeds from this offering allocated to our existing core operating business for investments in products or technologies that are complementary to our core operating business, although we have no present commitments or agreements to make any such investments as of the date of this prospectus.

This expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. As a result, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

Pending use of the proceeds as described above or otherwise, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in government securities, high quality short-term corporate debt obligations and SEC-registered money market accounts.

S-11

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Class A common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other factors, our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions, the terms of any future credit agreements and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.

S-12

Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred Stock

On November 26, 2024, we filed the Series A Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the preferences, voting powers, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and other terms and conditions of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to certain rights, preferences, privileges, and obligations, including voluntary and mandatory conversion provisions, as well as beneficial ownership restrictions and share cap limitations, as set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation. The following is a summary description of the terms and the general effect of the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the Company's other classes of registered securities.

S-13

Stated Value. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $20.00, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends. The holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a twelve percent (12%) annual, non-cumulative dividend payable annually, at the Company's option, (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of the Company's Class A common stock, at a price per share of Class A Common Stock equal to the lower of (A) the average closing price of Class A Common Stock as quoted on the principal trading market, if any, in which the shares of Class A Common Stock then trade ("Principal Market") for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance, or (B) the closing price of the Class A Common Stock as quoted on the Principal Market on the trading day prior to the date of issuance, but in no event less than $1.00 per share.

Optional Conversion. At any time and from time to time, a holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert (i) up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the holder's total shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "First Tranche Convertible Shares") at a rate equal to the stated value divided by $0.5114 (the "First Tranche Conversion Rate"), (ii) up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the holder's total shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Second Tranche Convertible Shares") at a rate equal to the stated value divided by $0.7671 (the "Second Tranche Conversion Rate"), (iii) up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the holder's total shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Third Tranche Convertible Shares") at a rate equal to the stated value divided by $1.0228 (the "Third Tranche Conversion Rate"), and (iv) up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the holder's total shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Fourth Tranche Convertible Shares") at a rate equal to the stated value divided by $1.2785 (the "Fourth Tranche Conversion Rate").

Redemption. The Company has the right redeem the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference, provided that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are granted thirty (30) calendar days to first exercise their conversion rights. "Liquidation Preference" means, with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, the sum of: (i) the amount of all accrued but unpaid dividends on such share; plus (ii) the product of the stated value multiplied by 120%.

Amendments. The Certificate of Designation may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class.

Series AA Preferred Stock

On March 5, 2025, we filed a certificate of designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to establish our Series AA Preferred Stock which we designated as "Series AA Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock." Our Series AA Preferred Stock has the following voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions:

Ranking. The Series AA Preferred Stock ranks, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Series B Preferred Stock,Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock and pari passu with our Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock do not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that are equal or junior in rank to the shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Stated Value. Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $25.00, which is equal to the offering price per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Series AA Preferred Stock.

Dividend Rate and Payment Dates. Dividends on the Series AA Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable monthly in arrears to all holders of record on the applicable record date. Holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative monthly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 9.5% of the stated value (or $0.198 per share each month based on the initial stated value). Dividends on each share begin accruing on, and are cumulative from, the date of issuance and regardless of whether our board of directors declares and pays such dividends. Our board of directors will not authorize, pay or set apart for payment by us any dividend on the Series AA Preferred Stock at any time that:

· the terms and provisions of any of our agreements, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment;
· the terms and provisions of any of our agreements, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness, provides that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of, or a default under, such agreement; or
· the law restricts or prohibits the authorization or payment.

Dividends on shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock will continue to accrue even if

· the terms and provisions of any of our agreements relating to our indebtedness prohibit such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment;
· we have earnings;

S-15

· there are funds legally available for the payment of the dividends; and
· the dividends are authorized.

In the event the monthly payment of dividends is not made within 30 days of the due date, dividends will accrue from the due date of such monthly payment at the rate of 18% until such default is cured.

Liquidation Preference. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of our Common Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, a liquidation preference equal to the stated value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.

Redemption Request at the Option of a Holder. Once per calendar quarter, a holder will have the opportunity to request that we redeem that holder's Series AA Preferred Stock. Our board of directors may, however, suspend cash redemptions at any time in its discretion if it determines that it would not be in the best interests of our company to effectuate cash redemptions at a given time because we do not have sufficient cash, including because our board believes that our cash on hand should be utilized for other business purposes. Redemptions will be limited to four percent (4%) of the total outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock per quarter and any redemptions in excess of such limit or to the extent suspended, shall be redeemed in subsequent quarters on a first come, first served, basis. We will redeem shares at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, less the applicable redemption fee (if any). As a percentage of the aggregate redemption price of a holder's shares to be redeemed, the redemption fee shall be:

· 10% if the redemption is requested on or before the first anniversary of the original issuance of such shares;
· 8% if the redemption is requested after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the original issuance of such shares; and
· 6% if the redemption is requested after the second anniversary and on or before the third anniversary of the original issuance of such shares.

Please see the certificate of designation, which has been filed as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, for the procedures to request a redemption.

Optional Redemption by our company. We have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem shares of Series AA Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.

Mandatory Redemption by our company. We are required to redeem the outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock on the third (3rd) anniversary of their issuance at a redemption price equal to the stated value of such redeemed shares, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.

Optional Repurchase Upon Death, Disability or Bankruptcy of a Holder. Subject to certain restrictions and conditions, we will also repurchase shares of Series AA Preferred Stock of a holder who is a natural person (including an individual beneficial holder who holds shares through a custodian or nominee, such as a broker-dealer) upon his or her death, total disability or bankruptcy, within sixty (60) days of our receipt of a written request from the holder or the holder's estate at a repurchase price equal to the stated value, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. A "total disability" means a determination by a physician approved by us that a holder, who was gainfully employed and working at least forty (40) hours per week as of the date on which his or her shares were purchased, has been unable to work forty (40) or more hours per week for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive months. Please see the certificate of designation, the form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, for the procedures to request a repurchase.

Restrictions on Redemption and Repurchase. We are not obligated to redeem or repurchase shares of Series AA Preferred Stock if we are restricted by applicable law or our articles of incorporation from making such redemption or repurchase or to the extent any such redemption or repurchase would cause or constitute a default under any borrowing agreements to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or otherwise bound. In addition, we have no obligation to redeem shares in connection with a redemption request made by a holder if we determine, as of the redemption date, that we do not have sufficient funds available to fund that redemption. In this regard, we will have complete discretion under the certificate of designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock to determine whether we are in possession of "sufficient funds" to fund a redemption request. To the extent we are unable to complete redemptions we may have earlier agreed to make, we will complete those redemptions promptly after we become able to do so, with all such deferred redemptions being satisfied on a first come, first served, basis.

S-16

Voting Rights. The Series AA Preferred Stock has no voting rights relative to matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders (other than as required by law). However, we may not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock: (i) amend or waive any provision of the certificate of designation or otherwise take any action that modifies any powers, rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series AA Preferred Stock (other than an amendment solely for the purpose of changing the number of shares of Series AA Preferred Stock designated for issuance as provided in the certificate of designation); (ii) authorize, create or issue shares of any class of stock having rights, preferences or privileges as to dividends or distributions upon a liquidation that are superior to the Series AA Preferred Stock; or (iii) amend our certificate of incorporation in a manner that adversely and materially affects the rights of the Series AA Preferred Stock.

Conversion Right. At the third anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series AA Preferred Stock, a holder may elect, with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be unreasonably withheld, to convert all or any portion of such then outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock held by it into that number of shares of our Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the then Stated Value of such shares by the closing price of our Class A Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "NCM") on the day prior to such date but in no event less than the closing price of our Class A Common Stock as quoted on the NCM on the day prior to the initial Closing Date.

Series B Preferred Stock

On September 11, 2025, we filed the Series B Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the preferences, voting powers, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and other terms and conditions of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to certain rights, preferences, privileges, and obligations, including voluntary conversion provisions, as well as beneficial ownership restrictions and share cap limitations, as set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation. The following is a summary description of the terms and the general effect of the issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the Company's other classes of registered securities.

Stated Value. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $1,000.00, subject to appropriate adjustment in relation to certain events, such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Series B Preferred Stock.

.

Optional Conversion. At any time and from time to time, a holder of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert the holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the stated value divided by $250.00.

Voting Rights. The Series B Preferred Stock will have no voting rights relative to matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders (other than as required by law). However, we may not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock: (i) amend or waive any provision of the certificate of designation or otherwise take any action that modifies any powers, rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock (other than an amendment solely for the purpose of changing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated for issuance as provided in the certificate of designation); (ii) authorize, create or issue shares of any class of stock having rights, preferences or privileges as to dividends or distributions upon a liquidation that are superior to the Series B Preferred Stock; or (iii) amend our certificate of incorporation in a manner that adversely and materially affects the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders, before any amount will be paid to the holders of any of the capital stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Series B Preferred Stock.

Ranking. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to our Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock, junior to our Series A Preferred Stock and Series AA Preferred Stock and pari passu with any other class of preferred stock created with rights, preferences and privileges substantially similar to that of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the preferences provided for in the Certificate of Designation as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

Amendments. The Certificate of Designation may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class.

Rights

In connection with a public offering of shares of our Class A Common stock in April 2025, we issued an aggregate of 120,000 (the "Rights"). Upon such date as the closing price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market equals or exceeds $25.00 (the "Trigger Price") for three consecutive trading days (the "Rights Trigger Event"), each Right will automatically convert into one-one hundredth (1/100) of one share of Class A common stock. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive its additional shares upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in this offering. If we enter into a definitive agreement for a business combination in which we will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Class A common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis, and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive the 1/100 share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the business combination. More specifically, the Right holder will be required to indicate its election to convert the rights into underlying shares as well as to return the original rights certificates to us. The Rights expire on January 17, 2026.

As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event, we will direct registered holders of the Rights to return their Rights to our rights agent. Upon receipt of the Rights, the rights agent will issue to the registered holder of such Rights the number of full Class A common shares to which it is entitled. We will notify registered holders of the Rights to deliver their Rights to the rights agent promptly upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event and have been informed by the rights agent that the process of exchanging their rights for Class A common shares should take no more than a matter of days. The foregoing exchange of Rights is solely ministerial in nature and is not intended to provide us with any means of avoiding our obligation to issue the shares underlying the Rights upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event. Other than confirming that the Rights delivered by a registered holder are valid, we will have no ability to avoid delivery of the shares underlying the Rights.

The shares issuable upon conversion of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of ours). We will not issue fractional shares upon conversion of the Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law. As a result, a Right holder must hold Rights in multiples of 100 in order to receive shares for all of a holder's Rights upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Rights upon the occurrence of the Rights Trigger Event.

We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the rights agreement governing the Rights will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. We note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Class B Common Stock

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors.

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board of Directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board of Directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management.

In addition, the control vested in our founders by virtue of their holding of Class B common stock may discourage or impede takeover activities.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

· before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
· upon closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
· on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
· In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:
· any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
· any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
· subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
· any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
· the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

S-18

In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as an entity or person who, together with the person's affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

Exclusive forum for adjudication of disputes provision which limits the forum to the Delaware Court of Chancery for certain stockholder litigation matters actions against the Company, which may limit an investor's ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

Section 7.06(a) of Article VII of our Bylaws dictates that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the State of Delaware) is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions including derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; an action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by an officer, director, employee or to the stockholders of the Company; any claim arising under Delaware corporate law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; and any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of Section 7.06 of Article VII of our Bylaws.

However, Section 7.06(a) of Article VII of our Bylaws will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Furthermore, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. We note, however, that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

A Delaware corporation is allowed to mandate in its corporate governance documents a chosen forum for the resolution of state law-based stockholder class actions, derivative suits and other intra-corporate disputes. With respect to such state law claims, the Company's management believes limiting state law based claims to Delaware will provide the most appropriate outcomes as the risk of another forum misapplying Delaware law is avoided, Delaware courts have a well-developed body of case law and limiting the forum will preclude costly and duplicative litigation and avoids the risk of inconsistent outcomes. Additionally, Delaware Chancery Courts can typically resolve disputes on an accelerated schedule when compared to other forums.

The choice of forum provisions contained in the Company's Bylaws may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other issuers' bylaws and certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that in connection with any applicable action brought against the Company, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Company's Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. As a result, the Company could incur additional costs associated with resolving such actions in other jurisdictions, which could harm the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to non-U.S. holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, or be subject to differing interpretations so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought and will not seek any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a position contrary to such statements and conclusions.

This summary applies only to Class A common stock acquired in this offering. It does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction or under U.S. federal non-income tax laws, except to the limited extent set forth below. In addition, this discussion does not address the potential application of the Medicare surtax on net investment income or any tax considerations applicable to an investor's particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

· banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;
· persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
· tax-exempt organizations;
· qualified foreign pension funds;
· "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies" and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
· brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;
· traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
· persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);
· certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
· entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and other pass-through entities (and investors therein);
· persons who hold our Class A common stock as a position in a "straddle," "conversion transaction" or other risk reduction transaction or integrated transaction;
· persons who do not hold our Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Code Section 1221 (generally, property held for investment);
· persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our Class A common stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement; or
· persons deemed to sell our Class A common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

If a partnership or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our Class A common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock arising under the U.S. federal non-income tax laws or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

S-20

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, except as modified for estate tax purposes, you are a non-U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock, other than a partnership or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or:

· an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States (for U.S. federal income tax purposes);
· a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or entity treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
· an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
· a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.

Distributions

We have never paid cash distributions on our Class A common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our Class A common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our Class A common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock.

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, any dividend paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, including a U.S. taxpayer identification number, if required, certifying qualification for the reduced rate. A non-U.S. holder of shares of our Class A common stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If the non-U.S. holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder's behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which may then be required to provide certification to the relevant paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, that are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained in the U.S.), are generally exempt from such withholding tax. In order to obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, generally are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, if you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, dividends you receive that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Gain on Disposition of Class A common stock

Subject to discussions below regarding backup withholding and foreign accounts, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

· the gain is effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained in the United States);
· the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or
· our Class A common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a "United States real property holding corporation," or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five year period preceding such holder's disposition of, or the holder's holding period for, our Class A common stock.

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our Class A common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such Class A common stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if a non-U.S. holder actually or constructively holds more than 5% of such regularly traded Class A common stock at any time during the shorter of the five year period preceding the holder's disposition of, or the holder's holding period for, our Class A common stock.

S-21

If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above, you will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above, you will be required to pay a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which gain may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses for the year, provided you have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. You should consult any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

Federal Estate Tax

Our Class A common stock beneficially owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will generally be includable in the decedent's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder, such holder's name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to such non-U.S. holder. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in the non-U.S. holder's country of residence.

Payments of dividends on or of proceeds from the disposition of our Class A common stock made to a non-U.S. holder may be subject to additional information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless such holder establishes an exemption, for example, by properly certifying such holder's non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that such holder is a U.S. person.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Provisions commonly referred to as "FATCA" impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of, our Class A common stock paid to a "foreign financial institution" (as specifically defined under the FATCA rules) unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to, among other things, withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCA also imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% to dividends on, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of, our Class A common stock paid to a "non-financial foreign entity" (as specifically defined under the FATCA rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with either a certification that it does not have any substantial direct or indirect U.S. owners or provides information regarding direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity or otherwise establishes an exception.

The withholding provisions described above generally apply to payments of dividends on our Class A common stock and will apply to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock However, the U.S. Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations that, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate FATCA withholding on gross proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock (but not on payments of dividends). Taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued or until such proposed regulations are rescinded. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this section. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. You should consult your personal tax advisor regarding these withholding provisions.

The preceding discussion of U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of our Class A common stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agents, under which we may offer and sell our shares of Class A common stock from time to time through or to the Sales Agents acting as agent and/or principal. Sales of our shares of Class A common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other existing trading market in the United States for our Class A common stock. If we and the Sales Agents agree on any method of distribution other than sales of shares of our Class A common stock on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file a further prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, from time to time we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $10,333,203; however, in no event shall the Company issue or sell to or through the Sales Agents such number of shares that exceeds (a) the number or dollar amount of shares of Class A common stock registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and as reflected on this prospectus supplement, pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) the number of authorized but unissued shares of our Class A common stock, or (c) the number or dollar amount of shares of Class A common stock that would cause the Company or the offering of the shares to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3, including, if applicable, General Instruction I.B.6 of Registration Statement on Form S-3.

Each time we wish to issue and sell our shares of Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement, we will notify the Sales Agents of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed the Sales Agents, unless the Sales Agents decline to accept the terms of such notice in accordance with the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of the Sales Agents under the Sales Agreement to sell our shares of Class A common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet. We or the Sales Agents may suspend the offering of shares of Class A common stock being made through the Sales Agents under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party.

The settlement of sales of shares between us and the Sales Agents is generally anticipated to occur on the first trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our shares of Class A common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Sales Agents may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

We will pay the Sales Agents a commission of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our shares of Class A common stock by the Sales Agents. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the Sales Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, in addition to up to $2,500 per "Representation Date" in connection with ongoing diligence arising from the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares. We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of Class A common stock sold through the Sales Agents under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to the Sales Agents in connection with the sales of our Class A common stock.

The Sales Agents are not required to sell any certain number of shares or dollar amount of our Class A common stock, but will use its reasonable best efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the shares of Class A common stock requested to be sold by us, subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale of our shares of Class A common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agents will be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation the Sales Agents receive will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify the Sales Agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed to contribute to payments the Sales Agents may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The Sales Agents will not engage in any market making activities involving shares of our Class A common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. Our Sales Agents will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes shares of our Class A common stock.

S-23

About CaliberCos Inc.

Over the past 15 years, Caliber has grown into a leading diversified alternative asset management firm, managing more than $2.9 billion in assets under management and assets under development ("AUD"). Caliber's primary goal is to enhance the wealth of accredited investors seeking to make investments in middle-market assets. We strive to build wealth for our clients by creating, managing, and servicing middle-market investment funds, private syndications, and direct investments. Through our funds, we invest primarily in real estate, private equity, and debt facilities. We market and fundraise to direct channels and to wholesale channels.

We believe that we provide investors attractive risk-adjusted returns by offering a balance of (i) structured offerings and ease of ownership, (ii) a pipeline of investment opportunities, primarily projects that range in value between $5.0 million and $50.0 million, and (iii) an integrated execution and processing platform. Our investment strategy leverages the local market intelligence and real-time data we gain from our operations to evaluate current investments, generate proprietary transaction flow, and implement various asset management strategies.

As an alternative asset manager, we offer a full suite of support services and employ a vertically integrated approach to investment management. Our asset management activities are complemented with transaction and advisory services, including development and construction management, acquisition and disposition expertise, and fund formation, which we believe differentiate us from other asset management firms. We earn the following fees from providing these services under our asset management platform:

· Fund set-up fees are a one-time fee for the initial formation, administration, and set-up of the private equity real estate fund. These fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance under the contract is complete and are included in asset management revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Fund set-up fees replaced fund formation fees that are earned at a point in time at a fixed rate based on the amount of capital raised into certain managed funds.
· Fund management fees are generally based on 1.0% to 1.5% of the unreturned capital contributions in a particular fund and include reimbursement for costs incurred on behalf of the fund, including an allocation of certain overhead costs. These customer contracts require the Company to provide management services, representing a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time. With respect to the Caliber Hospitality Trust, the Company earns a fund management fee of 0.7% of the Caliber Hospitality Trust's enterprise value and is reimbursed for certain costs incurred on behalf of the Caliber Hospitality Trust. These revenues are included in asset management revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
· Financing fees are earned for services the Company performs in securing third-party financing on behalf of our private equity real estate funds. These fees are recognized at the point in time when the performance under the contract is complete, which is essentially upon closing of a loan. In addition, the Company earns fees for guarantying certain loans, representing a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time. These revenues are included in asset management revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
· Development and construction revenues from contracts with customers include fixed fee arrangements with related party affiliates to provide real estate development services as their principal developer, which include managing and supervising third-party developers and general contractors with respect to the development of the properties owned by the funds. Revenues are generally based on 4.0% of the total expected costs of the development or 4.0% of the total expected costs of the construction project. Prior to the commencement of construction, development fee revenue is recognized at a point in time as the related performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of the promised service, including negotiation, due diligence, entitlements, planning, and design activities. During the construction period, development fee revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. These revenues are included in asset management revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

· Brokerage fees are earned at a point in time at fixed rates for services performed related to acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and financing transaction, and are included in asset management revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
· Performance allocations are an arrangement in which we are entitled to an allocation of investment returns, generated within the investment funds which we manage, based on a contractual formula. We typically receive 15.0% to 35.0% of all cash distributions from (i) the operating cash flow of each fund, after payment to the related fund investors of any accumulated and unpaid priority preferred returns and repayment of preferred capital contributions; and (ii) the cash flow resulting from the sale or refinance of any real estate assets held by each fund, after payment to the related fund investors of any accumulated and unpaid priority preferred returns and repayment of initial preferred capital contributions. Our funds' preferred returns range from 6.0% to 12.0%, typically 6.0% for common equity or 10.0% to 12.0% for preferred equity, which does not participate in profits. Performance allocations are related to services which have been provided and are recognized when it is determined that they are no longer probable of significant reversal, which is generally satisfied when an underlying fund investment is realized or sold. These revenues are included in performance allocations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

We have a number of development, redevelopment, construction, and entitlement projects that are underway or are in the planning stages, which we define as AUD. This category includes projects to be built on undeveloped land and projects to be built and constructed on undeveloped lands, which are not yet owned by our funds. Completing these development activities may ultimately result in income-producing assets, assets we may sell to third parties, or both. As of March 31, 2024, we are involved in the development of 2,240 multifamily units, 2,386 single family units, 2.6 million square feet of commercial and industrial, and 1.0 million square feet of office and retail. If all of these projects are brought to completion, the total cost capitalized to these projects, which represents total current estimated costs to complete the development and construction of such projects by us or a third party, is $2.1 billion, which we expect would be funded through a combination of undeployed fund cash, third-party equity, project sales, tax credit financing and similar incentives, and secured debt financing. We are under no obligation to complete these projects and may dispose of any such assets at any time. There can be no assurance that AUD will ultimately be developed or constructed because of the nature of the cost of the approval and development process and market demand for a particular use. In addition, the mix of residential and commercial assets under development may change prior to final development. The development of these assets will require significant additional financing or other sources of funding, which may not be available.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

· at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
· at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
· at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
· at negotiated prices.

We may also sell equity securities covered by this registration statement in an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. Such offering may be made into an existing trading market for such securities in transactions at other than a fixed price on or through the facilities of the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or quotation or trading service on which such securities may be listed, quoted or traded at the time of sale. Such at the market offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

· the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;
· the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
· any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
· any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents' or underwriters' compensation;
· any public offering price;
· any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
· any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any overallotment or other option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities, and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

All securities we may offer, other than Class A common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Any underwriters or agents who are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, however, the passive market maker's bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Caliber's third amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. For a complete description of Caliber's capital stock, you should refer to the third amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

We are authorized to issue up to 137,500,000 shares of capital stock, of which (i) 100,000,000 shares are Class A common stock with a par value $0.001 per share; (ii) 15,000,000 shares are Class B common stock with a par value $0.001 per share; and (iii) 22,500,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Class A common stock

Voting. The holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A common stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). The Class A common stock is not subject to cumulative voting. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as may otherwise be required by law.

Dividends. Subject to the preferences applicable to the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to, on an equal basis with the holders of Class B common stock, receive dividends when and if declared by the Company's board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock.

Class B common stock

Voting. The holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B common stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings). The Class B common stock is not subject to cumulative voting. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, except as may otherwise be required by law.

Dividends. Subject to the preferences applicable to the preferred stock, the holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to, on an equal basis with the holders of Class A common stock, receive dividends when and if declared by the Company's board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding preferred stock.

Shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into Shares of Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis at the earlier of: (i) the date of the sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Corporation; (ii) transfer or sale of such shares to any person or entity not a holder of such Shares of Class B common stock on the date of adoption of the third amended and restated certificate of incorporation other than a trust or other entity established by a current holder of such Shares of Class B common stock for bona fide estate planning purposes; or (iii) three years following the date the common stock is first publicly traded.

Preferred Stock

The third amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board to establish one or more series of preferred stock. The Board has the discretion to determine the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Class B Common Stock

Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, our stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors.

10

The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our Board of Directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our Board of Directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management.

In addition, the control vested in our founders by virtue of their holding of Class B common stock may discourage or impede takeover activities.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

· before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
· upon closing of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
· on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2∕3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:

· any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
· subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
· any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
· the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loss, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as an entity or person who, together with the person's affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

11

Exclusive forum for adjudication of disputes provision which limits the forum to the Delaware Court of Chancery for certain stockholder litigation matters actions against the Company, which may limit an investor's ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

Section 7.06(a) of Article VII of our Bylaws dictates that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the State of Delaware) is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions including derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; an action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty owed by an officer, director, employee or to the stockholders of the Company; any claim arising under Delaware corporate law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; and any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of Section 7.06 of Article VII of our Bylaws.

However, Section 7.06(a) of Article VII of our Bylaws will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Furthermore, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. We note, however, that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

A Delaware corporation is allowed to mandate in its corporate governance documents a chosen forum for the resolution of state law-based stockholder class actions, derivative suits and other intra-corporate disputes. With respect to such state law claims, the Company's management believes limiting state law based claims to Delaware will provide the most appropriate outcomes as the risk of another forum misapplying Delaware law is avoided, Delaware courts have a well-developed body of case law and limiting the forum will preclude costly and duplicative litigation and avoids the risk of inconsistent outcomes. Additionally, Delaware Chancery Courts can typically resolve disputes on an accelerated schedule when compared to other forums.

The choice of forum provisions contained in the Company's Bylaws may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other issuers' bylaws and certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that in connection with any applicable action brought against the Company, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Company's Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. As a result, the Company could incur additional costs associated with resolving such actions in other jurisdictions, which could harm the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We use the term "indentures" to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Trust Indenture Act") as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term "debenture trustee" to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

The following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.

General

Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.

We will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:

· We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Conversion or Exchange Rights

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our Class A common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate, satisfactory in form to the indenture trustee.

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

13

Events of Default Under the Indenture

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

· the maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;
· the interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;
· whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;
· the terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;
· the place or places where payments will be payable;
· our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;
· the date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional redemption provisions;
· the date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder's option to purchase, the series of debt securities;
· whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;
· whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;
· a discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;
· the form of debt securities;
· the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;
· whether the debt securities will be convertible into shares of Class A common stock or other securities and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which such debt securities will be so convertible, including the conversion price and the conversion period;
· if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of debt securities which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof;
· any additional or different events of default or restrictive covenants provided for with respect to the debt securities; and
· any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities.

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

14

Conversion or Exchange Rights

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our Class A common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate, satisfactory in form to the indenture trustee.

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

Events of Default Under the Indenture

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Conversion or Exchange Rights

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our Class A common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate, satisfactory in form to the indenture trustee.

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

15

Events of Default Under the Indenture

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

· if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;
· if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;
· if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
· if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

· the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
· subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

16

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

· the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;
· the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and
· the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

We will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

The debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters, including:

· to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and
· to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to such indenture.

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

· extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;
· reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities;
· reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
· making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or
· reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.

17

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Discharge

Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for obligations to:

· maintain a register;
· the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
· replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
· duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid amounts owing with respect to the debt securities;
· maintain paying agencies;
· hold monies for payment in trust;
· compensate and indemnify the trustee; and
· appoint any successor trustee.

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

Form, Exchange, and Transfer

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series.

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

18

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

· issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
· register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee

The debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

All money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

Governing Law

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

General

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our Class A common stock, preferred stock or the other securities described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, debt securities, preferred stock, Class A common stock or warrants, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights. We will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:

· the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;
· the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
· the exercise price;
· the aggregate number of rights issued;
· whether the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;

· the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;
· the withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;
· whether there are any backstop or standby purchaser or purchasers and the terms of their commitment, if any;
· whether stockholders are entitled to oversubscription rights, if any;
· any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and
· any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as applicable.

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of Class A common stock, preferred stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

21

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of Class A common stock, preferred stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Rights Agent

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information that we include in any applicable prospectus supplements summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

We will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

General

We may issue units consisting of Class A common stock, preferred stock, one or more debt securities, warrants or rights for the purchase of Class A common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series, in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:

· the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
· any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
· any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those set forth in any prospectus supplement or as described under "Description of Common Stock," "Description of Preferred Stock," "Description of Debt Securities," "Description of Warrants" and "Description of Rights" will apply to each unit, as applicable, and to any Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt security, warrant or right included in each unit, as applicable.

Unit Agent

The name and address of the unit agent, if any, for any units we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

23

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

24
