RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to the other information, documents or reports included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should also carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our filings under the Exchange Act. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Inspirato may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known, or that are currently deemed immaterial, which may also impair our business or financial condition.
Resales of our Class A Common Stock in the public market may cause the trading price to fall.
Resales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Common Stock could depress the trading price of our Class A Common Stock. Such sales could also result in resales of our Class A Common Stock by our other current stockholders, potentially leading to further decreases in the trading price of the Class A Common Stock.

Corporate History and Background
Inspirato was incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020 as Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation (“Thayer”), a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger with one or more operating businesses. Inspirato LLC entered into a Business Combination Agreement dated June 30, 2021 and as amended September 15, 2021 to become a publicly traded company through a business combination with Thayer. On February 11, 2022, Thayer and Inspirato LLC consummated the transaction contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement whereby, among other transactions, a subsidiary of Thayer merged with and into Inspirato LLC with Inspirato LLC as the surviving company (the “Business Combination”), resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Thayer. Thayer changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated” upon closing of the Business Combination. Additionally, concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, a number of accredited investors purchased from the Company, in a private placement transaction, an aggregate of 8,750,385 shares of Class A Common Stock at $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $87.5 million, each pursuant to a separate subscription agreement entered into effective as of June 30, 2021. The number of PIPE Shares provided in the proceeding sentence is prior to adjustment for the 20 to 1 reverse stock split that occurred on October 17, 2023.
On August 12, 2024, Inspirato entered into the August 2024 Investment Agreement, providing for the issuance and sale to One Planet Group of (i) 1,335,271 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,579,980 (such transaction, the “Tranche 1 Purchase”) and (ii) 1,580,180 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,420,020 and an accompanying warrant to purchase up to 2,915,451 shares of Class A Common Stock (such transaction, the “Tranche 2 Purchase”). In addition, pursuant to such investment agreement, One Planet Group was granted an option (the “Option” and, together with the Tranche 1 Purchase and the Tranche 2 Purchase, the “OPG Transaction”) to acquire an additional number of shares of Class A Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.5 million, where the purchase price for each share will be the same as the per share purchase price in the Tranche 1 Purchase and the Company will deliver a number of warrants equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock being purchased as part of the Option. The closing of the Tranche 1 Purchase occurred on August 13, 2024. The closing of the Tranche 2 Purchase took place on September 13, 2024.
On September 30, 2024, the previously announced mandatory exchange (the “Mandatory Exchange”) of all limited liability company membership units of Inspirato LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Inspirato (the “Common Units”), other than those held the Company, in connection with a “Continuing Member COC” ​(as defined under the Eleventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Inspirato LLC filed as Exhibit 3.3 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023) became effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Continuing Member COC. Pursuant to the Mandatory Exchange, each member of Inspirato LLC, other than the
 
6

 
Company, exchanged its Common Units for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Common Units exchanged. Additionally, the Mandatory Exchange resulted in the surrender and cancellation of the same number of outstanding shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class V Common Stock”) held by such members. As a result of the Mandatory Exchange, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,857,635 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for 2,857,635 Common Units. No shares of Class V Common Stock remain outstanding following the Mandatory Exchange.
On October 22, 2024, Inspirato entered into the October 2024 Investment Agreement, providing for the issuance and sale of 757,576 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, including (i) 505,051 shares of Class A Common Stock to Tribridge for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 and (ii) 252,525 shares of Class A Common Stock to Mr. MacQueen for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the October 2024 Investment Agreement occurred on October 24, 2024.

The October 2024 Investment Agreement provides for certain registration rights with the respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection therewith.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of the Offered Shares. In particular, the Selling Securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their Offered Shares after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities. Any changed or new information given to us by the Selling Securityholders, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, each Selling Securityholder, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.
Please see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the Selling Securityholders’ method of distributing the Offered Shares.
The following table sets forth, as of October 29, 2024, the names of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by each Selling Securityholder immediately prior to any sale of the Offered Shares, the number of Offered Shares that may be sold by each Selling Securityholder under this prospectus, and the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that each Selling Securityholder will beneficially own after this offering. For purposes of the table below, the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that will be outstanding after the resale of all Offered Shares is based on 10,815,266 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 29, 2024, and we have assumed that all of the Offered Shares will be sold.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

We are registering the resale by the Selling Securityholders of the Offered Shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the Offered Shares will be the purchase price of the Offered Shares less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the Offered Shares. The Selling Securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Offered Shares to be made directly or through agents.
The Offered Shares may be sold from time to time to purchasers:

directly by the Selling Securityholders;

through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or agent’s commissions from the Selling Securityholders or the purchasers of the Offered Shares; or

through a combination of any of these methods of sale.
Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Offered Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Offered Shares by the Selling Securityholders.
The Offered Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at:

fixed prices;

prevailing market prices at the time of sale;

prices related to such prevailing market prices;

varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:

through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per share;

in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

in privately negotiated transactions;

in options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

in distributions to members, limited partners or stockholders of Selling Securityholders;

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Offered Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including Nasdaq;
 
11

 

in the over-the-counter market;

in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;

through any other method permitted by applicable law; or

through any combination of the foregoing.
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
In connection with distributions of the Offered Shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Class A Common Stock in connection with hedging transactions. The Selling Securityholders may also sell the Offered Shares short and redeliver the Offered Shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the Offered Shares, which Offered Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge the Offered Shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged Offered Shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell the Offered Shares, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions may be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge the Offered Shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Offered Shares short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
At the time a particular offering of the Offered Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Securityholders, the aggregate amount of Offered Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers. We may suspend the sale of Offered Shares by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.
The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the Offered Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Securityholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell Offered Shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Securityholder.
The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell any or all of the Offered Shares under this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Securityholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the Offered Shares by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any Offered Shares that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Offered Shares may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the
 
12

 
Offered Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some Offered Shares owned by them and, if a Selling Securityholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of the Offered Shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders also may transfer shares of the Offered Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
A Selling Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of the Offered Shares to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of the Offered Shares pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following description is only a summary, and it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as it may be further amended from time to time, our “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws (as it may be further amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.
Authorized Stock
The authorized capital stock of Inspirato is 85,000,000, consisting of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 80,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which:

50,000,000 shares are designated as Class A Common Stock;

25,000,000 shares are designated as Class V Common Stock; and

5,000,000 shares are designated as Class B non-voting common stock (“Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).
As of October 29, 2024, there were 10,815,266 shares of Class A Common Stock, no shares of Class V Common Stock, and no shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding.
Voting Power
Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters, except as otherwise required by law. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended from time to time). Delaware law could require holders of shares of a class of capital stock to vote separately as a single class in certain circumstances.
Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to vote except as otherwise required by Delaware law.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times that the Board may determine. Any dividends paid to the holders of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock shall be paid on a pro rata basis. The holders of our Class V Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends out of any assets of the Company.
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up
In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, and after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, have been satisfied, each holder of our Common Stock outstanding at that time shall be entitled to receive $0.0001 per share and the remaining assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributable ratably among the holders of Common Stock outstanding at that time.
Preemptive or Other Rights
Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and shares of Common Stock are not subject to conversion, redemption, or sinking fund provisions, except that the Certificate of Incorporation provides for certain rights of conversion pursuant to which shares of Class A Common Stock may be converted into Class B Common Stock and vice-versa.
 
14

 
Election of Directors
Subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to the election of directors, the number of directors that constitutes the Board will be fixed solely by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. The Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of approximately equal size, each serving staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class will be subject to election by a plurality of the votes cast at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Stockholders do not have the ability to cumulate votes for the election of directors.

CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW
Some provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult for us to be acquired by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise or the removal of our incumbent directors and officers. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage and prevent coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our Board. They are also intended to provide our management with the flexibility to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability if our Board determines that a takeover is not in the best interests of our stockholders. These provisions, however, could have the effect of discouraging attempts to acquire us, which could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 is an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or another transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions that are not approved in advance by our Board, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
Special Meeting of Stockholders
Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairperson of our Board, our Chief Executive Officer or our Board pursuant to adoption of a resolution.
Classified Board
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. At each annual meeting of stockholders, one class of directors is elected to serve a three-year term. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our Board and requires a longer time period to do so. In most circumstances, a person can gain control of the Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more meetings of stockholders at which directors are elected. Any amendment to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation relating to our classified Board, and to the matters described in “— Election and Removal of Directors” below, would be subject to a two-thirds supermajority stockholder vote requirement.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that establish specific procedures for appointing and removing members of the Board. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of our preferred stock, vacancies and newly created directorships on the Board may be filled only by a majority of the directors then serving on the Board (except as otherwise required by law or by resolution of the Board). Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders,
 
16

 
must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. Our Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Subject to the rights of holders of our preferred stock, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not permit stockholders to act by written consent.
No Cumulative Voting
Under Delaware law, cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes cumulative voting. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a minority stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our Board based on the number of shares of our stock the stockholder holds as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our Board to influence our Boards decision regarding a takeover.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Exclusive Forum Selection
The Certificate of Incorporation is silent on forum selection. Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (iv) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware), in all cases subject to the court having jurisdiction over indispensable parties. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of applicable law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Class A Common Stock by Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders who purchase our Class A Common Stock pursuant to this offering and who hold Class A Common Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment).
This discussion is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We cannot assure you that a change in law (including, but not limited to, proposed legislation) will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this summary. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (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 agree with such statements and conclusions.
This summary does not address the Medicare contribution tax on certain net investment income, the alternative minimum tax, special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be important to a particular holder in light of the holder’s circumstances, or to certain categories of investors that may be subject to special rules, such as:

banks or other financial institutions;

tax-exempt entities;

insurance companies;

dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our Class A Common Stock;

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

regulated investment companies, mutual funds or real estate investment trusts;

“controlled foreign corporations” or “passive foreign investment companies;”

persons that acquired our Class A Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

persons that hold our Class A Common Stock as a part of a straddle, hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

persons that directly, indirectly or constructively own 5 percent or more (by vote or value) of our Class A Common Stock; or

persons deemed to sell our Class A Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-thru entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership holding our Class A Common Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of such Class A Common Stock.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE PARTICULAR U.S.
 
18

 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SUCH CLASS A COMMON STOCK, AS APPLICABLE, AS WELL AS THE CONSEQUENCES TO YOU ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS, THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION, OR ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY. IN ADDITION, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES IN U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAW AS WELL AS ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES IN STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class A Common Stock, that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a partnership and is not:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and that has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
Taxation of Distributions
If we pay distributions with respect to our Class A Common Stock in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) to Non-U.S. Holders, such distributions generally 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. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Non-U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “— Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Class A Common Stock.”
Subject to the discussions below regarding effectively connected income, backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the Treasury Regulations and other official IRS guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “FATCA”), any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal 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 between the United States and the holder’s country of residence. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide us or the applicable paying agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, we may withhold up to 30% of the gross amount of the entire distribution even if the amount constituting a dividend, as described above, is less than the gross amount. A Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If a Non-U.S. Holder holds our Class A Common Stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the holder’s behalf, the holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then will be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” ​(see the section entitled “— Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Class A Common Stock” below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.
Dividends received by a Non-U.S. Holder that are treated as effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, that are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the holder in the United States) are generally exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA. In order to obtain this exemption, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide us or the
 
19

 
applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, generally are taxed at the U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by corporate Non-U.S. Holders that are effectively connected with the holder’s 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 between the United States and the holder’s country of residence. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock, including the application of any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Gain on Sale, Exchange or other Taxable Disposition of our Class A Common Stock
Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the holder 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 calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

our Class A Common Stock constitutes a United States real property interest (a “USRPI”) by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation” ​(a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the Non-U.S. Holder’s disposition of, or the holder’s holding period for, our Class A Common Stock.
Non-U.S. Holders described in the first bullet above generally will be required to pay tax on the gain derived from the sale (net of certain deductions and credits) under U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons, 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. Individual Non-U.S. Holders described in the second bullet above will be subject to tax at 30% (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 the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.
Regarding the third bullet, we believe that we are not currently a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests relative to the fair market value of our U.S. and worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we are or become a USRPHC, however, in the case where shares of our Class A Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder disposing of our Class A Common Stock will be treated as disposing of a USRPI only if it has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance that our Class A Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded or not regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose. If we were a USRPHC and our Class A Common Stock was not treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose, a Non-U.S. Holder would be subject to tax on any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Class A Common Stock, and withholding, generally at a rate of 15%, on the gross proceeds thereof, regardless of such Non-U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of our Class A Common Stock.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the gross amount of the dividends we pay or are deemed to pay to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such dividends. A
 
20

 
Non-U.S. Holder will have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a United States person (as defined in the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate with respect to dividends. A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding with respect to payments of dividends if such holder establishes an exemption by certifying his, her or its non-U.S. status by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other appropriate IRS From W-8 (or other applicable or successor form); provided we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person (as defined in the Code).
Information reporting and backup withholding will generally apply to the proceeds of a taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock by a Non-U.S. Holder effected by or through the U.S. office of any broker, U.S. or foreign, unless the holder establishes an exemption by certifying his, her or its status as a Non-U.S. Holder and satisfies certain other requirements. Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder where the transaction is effected outside the U.S. through a Non-U.S. office of a broker. However, for information reporting purposes, taxable dispositions effected through a Non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S. ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.
Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder may be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may entitle such Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Additional Withholding Requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Subject to the following paragraph, FATCA generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of, our Class A Common Stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” ​(as specially defined under these 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 the 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 non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. Subject to the following paragraph, FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on, and the gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of, our Class A Common Stock paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” ​(as specially defined under these rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The withholding tax will apply regardless of whether the payment otherwise would be exempt from the U.S. nonresident withholding tax described above and backup withholding, including under the exemptions described above. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the holder’s country of residence may modify the requirements described in this section. Holders should consult with your own tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to your ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock.
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. The preamble of such proposed regulations states that they may be relied upon by taxpayers until final regulations are issued or until such proposed regulations are rescinded.
THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. EACH PROSPECTIVE HOLDER OF OFFERED SHARES SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK.

Item 15.   Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, may eliminate or limit personal liability of members of its board of directors for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty. However, no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching a duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which was illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. Article VIII of our Certificate of Incorporation contains such a provision.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted under similar standards, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him
 
II-1

 
in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under such Section 145.
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL.
We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification. Our Bylaws permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers.
These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be negatively impacted to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17.   Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement.
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective
 
II-3

 
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
