Important Disclosures An investment in the Series A1 Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock” or “A1 Preferred Stock”) described herein involves risks and other considerations, including the ones described below. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents that Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (“CMCT” or “Creative Media & Community Trust”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for more complete information about CMCT and the risks and other considerations relating to the securities described herein. Any terms of securities described herein represent a general overview of certain selected terms and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the prospectus and other documents that Creative Media & Community Trust filed with the SEC. » There is no public market for CMCT’s Preferred Stock and CMCT does not expect one to develop. » CMCT’s Preferred Stock is subordinate to all of CMCT’s existing and future debt and liabilities and those of CMCT’s subsidiaries. The terms of CMCT’s Preferred Stock do not contain any financial covenants and do not restrict how CMCT can use the proceeds of the offering. CMCT’s future debt may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to preferred stockholders or make redemptions in the event of a default under the debt facilities or under other circumstances. » Shares of CMCT’s Preferred Stock may generally be redeemed for shares of Common Stock, which ranks junior to CMCT’s Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and upon liquidation. » From and after the date that is 24 months following the original issuance of any shares of CMCT’s Preferred Stock, CMCT has the right (but not the obligation) to redeem such shares at 100% of CMCT’s Preferred Stock Stated Value, initially $25 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, without your consent. » The cash distributions holders of CMCT’s Preferred Stock receive may be less frequent or lower in amount than described herein. » Holders of CMCT’s Preferred Stock will be subject to inflation risk and the risk that interest rates may increase. » CMCT’s operating performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry. A significant portion of CMCT’s properties, by aggregate net operating income and square feet, are located in California. CMCT is dependent on the California real estate market and economies, and is therefore susceptible to risks of events in that market that could adversely affect its business. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact CMCT’s operations and those of its tenants, business partners and borrowers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of any new outbreaks involving variants of COVID-19 and actions taken to contain or mitigate such outbreaks, the distribution and acceptance of vaccines, the impacts on the U.S. and international economies and the extent to which federal, state and local governments provide relief or assistance to those affected by COVID-19. CMCT cannot predict the significance, extent or duration of any adverse impact of COVID-19 on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or its ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on its Common Stock or Preferred Stock. However, CMCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity have been adversely affected and may continue to be adversely affected during 2022. Forward-Looking Statements The information set forth herein contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “might,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “pursue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “seek,” “plan,” or “should,” or “goal” or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about CMCT’s plans and objectives relating to future growth and outlook as well as the performance of the Preferred Stock. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT’s management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the scope, severity and duration of the current pandemic of COVID-19, and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact,(ii) the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of CMCT and its tenants and business partners, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets, among others, (iii) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT’s development activities, (iv) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (v) fluctuations in market rents, including as a result of COVID-19, (vi) the effects of inflation and higher interest rates on the operations and profitability of CMCT and (vii) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT’s actual results to differ materially from CMCT’s expectations are discussed under the section “Risk Factors” in CMCT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in CMCT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond CMCT’s control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by CMCT or any other person that CMCT’s objectives and plans will be achieved.
