The following updates certain information found in the offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) of Landa Financing LLC (the “Company”) filed May 2, 2023, which can be found here.

 

Change in Broker Dealer

 

Effective September 21, 2023, the Company changed the broker-dealer of record from Rialto Markets LLC (“Rialto”) to Dalmore Group LLC (“the Broker Dealer”). The broker dealer of record is responsible for, among other things, processing transactions for potential investors and providing investor qualification recommendations (e.g., “Know Your Customer” and anti-money-laundering checks) and coordinating with third-party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. This change is not expected to result in any significant changes to the manner in which the Company conducts its Offering, or to the nature of the Company’s business or plan of operations.

 

Termination of Rialto Broker Dealer Agreement

 

In connection with the above, effective September 21, 2023, Rialto and the Company mutually agreed to terminate the Broker Dealer Agreement dated February 2, 2023 by and between the Company and Rialto that was previously filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the Company’s Form 1-A/A filed on March 24, 2023 with the SEC. As of September 21, 2023, the Company has raised $520,800.00, and the Company’s manager, Landa Management LLC (the “Manager”) has paid $2,604.00 in broker dealer fees to Rialto pursuant to the Broker Dealer Agreement with Rialto.

 

Entry into Dalmore Broker Dealer Agreement

 

In advance of, and in connection with the above, effective September 21, 2023 the Company has engaged the Broker Dealer as broker dealer of record, pursuant to the terms of a Broker Dealer Agreement (the “Broker Dealer Agreement”). Pursuant to the Broker Dealer Agreement, the Broker Dealer will serve as broker-dealer of record, including processing transactions for potential investors and providing investor qualification recommendations (e.g., “Know Your Customer” and anti-money-laundering checks) and coordinating with third-party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. The Broker Dealer will have access to the subscription information provided by investors through the Landa Platform. The Broker Dealer will not solicit any investors on the Company’s behalf, act as underwriter, or provide investment advice or recommendations to investors. The Broker Dealer is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation and will be registered in each state where the Offering occurs. Shares will not be offered or sold in states where the Broker Dealer is not registered as a broker dealer pursuant to the applicable state law or in any jurisdictions where it is not lawful to offer and sell the Shares.

 

As compensation for providing the services to the Company as described in the Broker Dealer Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay the Broker Dealer a fee equal to up to 1% of the total amount raised in the Offering (up to a total maximum dollar amount of $255,000), as described in the Broker Dealer Agreement. The Broker Dealer will not purchase any interests and, therefore, will not be eligible to receive any discounts, commissions or any underwriting or finder’s fees in connection with the Offering. The Broker Dealer Agreement has a 12-month term and will renew automatically for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Pursuant to the Broker Dealer Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Broker Dealer and each of its affiliates and their respective representatives and agents for any loss, liability, judgment, arbitration award, settlement, damage or cost (which we refer to as losses) incurred in any third-party suit, action, claim, demand or similar proceeding (which we refer to, collectively, as a proceeding) arising out of (i) our breach of any provision of the Broker Dealer Agreement, (ii) our wrongful acts or omissions, or (iii) the Offering.

 

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Broker Dealer Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of such terms. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Broker Dealer Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 6.1 to this report.

Change in Transfer Agent

The Transfer Agent is registered with the SEC. The Broker Dealer will pay the Transfer Agent a shareholder recording fee equal to $0.40 per Closing (the “Recording Fee”). This change is not expected to result in any significant changes to the manner in which the Company conducts its Offering, or to the nature of the Company’s business or plan of operations.

 

In connection with the above, the Company terminated its agreement with Securitize and entered into a Platform Services, Transfer Agent and Registrar Agreement with the Transfer Agent and the Broker Dealer (the “TA Agreement”).
