PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF UNITHOLDERS

February 3, 2023

Meeting Details

The enclosed proxy is being solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Belpointe PREP, LLC (the “Company” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Unitholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on February 3, 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, 1800 East Putnam Avenue, Old Greenwich, Connecticut, at 3:00 p.m., or at such other time and place to which the Annual Meeting may be adjourned. Due to health concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, and to support the health and well-being of our unitholders, we ask that unitholders who plan to attend the annual meeting in person please contact Belpointe PREP’s Investor Relations Department at 1-833-828-2721 or via email at IR@belpointeoz.com.

A list of unitholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by unitholders for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at the offices of the Company at 255 Glenville Road Greenwich, Connecticut 06831, during the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting.

Voting by Proxy or In Person

Execution and return a proxy will not affect your right to subsequently attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any unitholder executing a proxy retains the right to revoke that proxy at any time prior to exercise at the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by (i) delivery of written notice of revocation to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, by following the instructions given for changing your vote via the Internet or by telephone, (ii) execution and delivery of a later proxy, or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting your Class A units in person. If you attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person by ballot, your proxy will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Annual Meeting will be counted. A proxy, when executed and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions set forth therein. In the absence of specific instructions, proxies will be voted by those named in the proxy “FOR” the election as directors of those nominees named in this proxy statement, “FOR” the approval of each of the other proposals described in this proxy statement, and in accordance with their best judgment on all other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The form of proxy provides a method for unitholders to withhold authority to vote for any one or more of the nominees for director while granting authority to vote for the remaining nominees. The names of all nominees are listed on the proxy. If you wish to grant authority to vote for all nominees, check the box marked “FOR.” If you wish to withhold authority to vote for all nominees, check the box marked “WITHHOLD.” If you wish your Class A units to be voted for some nominees and not for one or more of the others, check the box marked “FOR” and indicate the name(s) of the nominee(s) for whom you are withholding the authority to vote by writing the name(s) of such nominee(s) on the proxy in the space provided.

Record Date

Only unitholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2022, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The unit transfer books of the Company will remain open between the record date and the date of the Annual Meeting. On the record date of December 8, 2022, the Company had 3,454,449 Class A units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit outstanding.

Quorum Requirements and Voting Rights

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of units representing one-third of the voting power outstanding as of the record date shall constitute a quorum.

Each Class B unit entitles the record holder thereof to one vote on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of unitholders generally. The Class M unit entitles the record holder thereof to that number of votes equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of the of the aggregate number of outstanding Class A units plus the aggregate number of outstanding Class B units, by (ii) 10, on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of unitholders on which the holder of the Class M unit has a vote. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business but will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a matter has been approved.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

Information About the Proxy Materials

Q:	*Why am I receiving these materials?*

A:	The Company has made these materials available to you on the Internet, or, upon your request, has delivered printed copies of these materials to you, in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Company’s annual meeting of unitholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will take place on February 3, 2023, at Hyatt Regency Greenwich, 1800 East Putnam Avenue, Old Greenwich, Connecticut, at 3:00 p.m. You are invited to participate in and vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement at the Annual Meeting if you were holder of the Company’s Class A units as of the close of business on December 8, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting, or hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are designed to assist you in voting your units.

Q:	*What is included in these materials?*

A:	These proxy materials include:

	●	our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting;

	●	our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with SEC on March 11, 2022 (the “Annual Report”); and

	●	the proxy card or a voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting.

Q:	*Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?*

A:	In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our Annual Report, to our unitholders by providing access to such materials on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most unitholders will not receive printed copies of our proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”), which was mailed to holders of our Class A units, will instruct you how to access and review our proxy materials on the Internet as well as how to submit your proxy on the Internet. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.

Q:	*I share an address with another unitholder and we only received one notice regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials. How do I obtain additional copies?*

A:	We deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple unitholders who share the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more of the unitholders. This procedure is called “householding,” and it reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Unitholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to any unitholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, unitholders may contact our Investor Relations Department by phone at 1-833-828-2721, by mail at Belpointe PREP, LLC, 255 Glenville Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831, or via email at IR@belpointeoz.com.

	Unitholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization to request information about householding.

Information About Voting

Q:	*What items of business will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?*

A:	The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are:

	Proposal No. 1:	To elect two Class I directors to serve until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal, incapacity or death; and

	Proposal No. 2:	To ratify the appointment of Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Q:	*How does the Board recommend that I vote?*

A:	The Board recommends a vote “FOR” each of proposals set forth in this proxy statement.

Q:	*Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?*

A:	If you were holder of the Company’s Class A units as of the close of business on December 8, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

Q:	*How many votes am I entitled to per Class A unit?*

A:	Each Class A Unit entitles the record holder thereof to one vote on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of unitholders generally. Each Class B Unit entitles the record holder thereof to one vote on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of unitholders generally. The Class M Unit entitles the record holder thereof to that number of votes equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of the of the aggregate number of outstanding Class A Units plus the aggregate number of outstanding Class B Units, by (ii) 10, on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Unitholders on which the holder of the Class M Unit has a vote.

	On December 8, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting, the Company had 3,454,449 Class A units, 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit outstanding. There are no cumulative voting rights. Information about the unit ownership of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Other Information—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

Q:	*What is the difference between a unitholder of record and a beneficial owner of units?*

A:	Most of the Company’s Class A unitholders hold their units as a beneficial owner through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between units held of record and those owned beneficially.

	●	Unitholder of Record — If your Class A units are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, you are considered, with respect to those Class A units, the unitholder of record. As the unitholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to vote during the Annual Meeting. If you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you may use the proxy card that was sent to you. You may also vote over the Internet, by telephone, or by mail as described in the Notice and under “Q: How can I vote my Class A units without participating in the Annual Meeting?” below.

	●	Beneficial Owner — If your Class A units are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, trust, or other similar organization, like the vast majority of our unitholders, you are considered the beneficial owner of Class A units held in street name, and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you may vote over the Internet, by telephone, or by mail, as described in the Notice and under “Q: How can I vote my Class A units without participating in the Annual Meeting?” below. You may also direct your broker, bank, trustee or nominee how to vote your Class A units, and you may vote during the Annual Meeting. If you do not wish to vote during the Annual Meeting or you will not be participating in the Annual Meeting, you may vote over the Internet, by telephone, or by mail, as described in the Notice and under “Q: How can I vote my Class A units without participating in the Annual Meeting?” below.

Q:	*How can I vote my Class A units at the Annual Meeting?*

A:	This proxy statement was first mailed to unitholders on or about December 19, 2022. It is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board to be voted during the Annual Meeting for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice. Participation in the Annual Meeting is limited to holders of the Company’s units as of December 8, 2022.

Q:	*How can I vote my Class A units without participating in the Annual Meeting?*

A:	Whether you hold Class A units directly as the unitholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your Class A units are voted without participating in the Annual Meeting. If you are a unitholder of record, you may vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by mail or telephone pursuant to instructions provided on the proxy card.

	If you hold Class A units beneficially in street name, you may also vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by telephone or mail by following the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee.

Q:	*Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?*

A:	You can change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by taking any one of the following actions: (i) follow the instructions given for changing your vote via the Internet or by telephone or deliver a valid written proxy with a later date; (ii) notify the Company’s Corporate Secretary in writing that you have revoked your proxy by mail at Belpointe PREP, LLC, 255 Glenville Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831, or (iii) vote in person at the Annual Meeting

Q:	*How many units must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?*

A:	The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of one-third of the voting power outstanding as of the record date must be present in person or represented by proxy. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described under “Q: How are votes counted?” below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum

Q:	*How are votes counted?*

A:	For each proposal submitted for a vote, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and broker non-votes (described below in “Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?”) will not affect the outcome of any item of business being voted on at the Annual Meeting assuming that a quorum is obtained. If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your Class A units will be voted as you instruct on such items. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed proxy card or over the telephone or Internet, the Class A units will be voted as recommended by our Board.

Q:	*What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?*

A:	The approval of Proposal No. 1 requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a plurality of the voting power of our Class A units and Class B units present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Under a “plurality voting” standard, the nominees who receive the largest number of affirmative “FOR” votes are elected to the Board, up to the maximum number of directors to be elected.

	The approval of Proposal No. 2 requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our Class A units, Class B units and Class M unit present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

	If you hold Class A units beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your Class A units may constitute “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, Class A units that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is obtained.

	Please note that since brokers may not vote your Class A units on “non-routine” matters, including the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), in the absence of your specific instructions, we encourage you to provide instructions to your broker regarding the voting of your Class A units.

Q:	*Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?*

A:	No, you may not cumulate your votes for the election of directors

Q:	*How are proxies solicited and what is the cost?*

A:	The Company is making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone, or by electronic communication by our directors, officers, and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. We have also retained Securities Transfer Corporation, Inc. to assist us in the distribution of proxy material and vote tabulation.

Q:	*What happened if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?*

A:	Other than the items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Brandon E. Lacoff, our Chairman of our Board and our Chief Executive Officer, or Martin Lacoff, our Chief Strategic Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or any of them, will have the discretion to vote your Class A units on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by our Board

Q:	*Is my vote kept confidential?*

A:	Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying unitholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Q:	*Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?*

A:	We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we are required to file with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Participating in the Annual Meeting

Q:	*How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?*

A:	You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a holder of our Class A units as of the close of business on December 8, 2022, the record date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

Q:	*Who can help answer my questions?*

A:	You can contact our Investor Relations Department at 1-833-828-2721 or via email at IR@belpointeoz.com, with any questions about the proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

Our board of directors (our “Board”) currently consists of six directors and is divided into three classes. Each class serves for a period of three years, with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. Directors in Class I will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. The terms of office of directors in Class II and Class III do not expire until the annual meetings of unitholders held for 2023 and 2024, respectively. At the recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee, our Board proposes that each of the two Class I nominees named below, each of whom is currently serving as a director in Class I, be elected as a Class I director for a three-year term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of unitholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal.

Required Vote

Each director will be elected by a plurality of the voting power of our Class A units and Class B units present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, which means that the two individuals nominated for election to our Board at the Annual Meeting who receive the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the election of Class I directors.

Class A units represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the two nominees named below, unless the proxy is marked to withhold authority to so vote. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holder might determine. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. Proxies may not be voted for more than two directors. Unitholders may not cumulate votes for the election of directors.

Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management and the Board have no reason to believe that either nominee will be unable to serve. If, however, prior to the Annual Meeting, the Board should learn that either nominee will be unable to serve for any reason, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for this nominee will be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies, at the Board’s discretion, may be voted for no nominees as a result of the inability of either nominee to serve.

We encourage our directors, but do not require them, to attend each annual meeting of unitholders.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has established a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Among other matters, our code of business conduct and ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

Our code of business conduct and ethics also provides that our non-employee directors are not obligated to limit their interests or activities in their non-director capacities or to notify us of any opportunities that may arise in connection therewith, even if the opportunities are complementary to, or in competition with, our businesses.

Any waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics for our directors or officers may be made only by our Board or one of our Board committees and will be promptly disclosed as required by law or the NYSE corporate governance requirements. A copy of our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.belpointeoz.com under the “Investors” section. Our website and the information contained therein or connected thereto is not incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, into these proxy materials.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Director Compensation

Our Board is empowered to, or to delegate to our Manager the power to, fix the compensation of all officers and approve the payment of compensation to directors for services rendered to us. A member of our Board who is also an employee of our Manager or our Sponsor is referred to as an employee director. Employee directors will not receive compensation for serving on our Board. For the year ended December 31, 2021, each of our non-employee directors received $5,000 in cash compensation for their service as directors. Going forward, we intend to establish a policy to compensate each of our non-employee directors on an annual basis paid in quarterly installments in arrears, which compensation may, in the sole discretion of our Board, be paid to members in the form of cash or equity, or a combination of both cash and equity. We also intend to adopt a unit ownership policy for our non-employee directors in order to better align our non-employee directors’ financial interests with those of our unitholders by requiring non-employee directors to own a minimum level of our Class A units.

We do not pay our directors additional fees for attending board meetings, but we reimburse each of our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings (including, but not limited to, airfare, hotel and food). For the year ended December 31, 2021, all of our Board and committee meetings have been held virtually and our directors did not incur any expenses in connection with attending board or committee meetings.

Executive Compensation

We are externally managed and currently have no employees or intention of hiring any employees. Our executive officers also serve as officers of our Manager and Sponsor or one or more of their affiliates. Our management agreement provides that our Manager will be responsible for managing our day-to-day operations and investment activities, as such our executive officers do not receive compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries for serving as our executive officers but, rather, receive compensation from our Manager. We do not reimburse our Manager for any compensation paid to our executive officers. Our management agreement does not require our executive officers to dedicate a specific amount of time to the conduct of our business and affairs or prohibit our executive officers from engaging in other activities or providing services to other persons, including affiliates of our Manager and Sponsor. Accordingly, our Manager has informed us that it cannot identify the portion of compensation it will award to our executive officers that relates solely to such executives’ services to us, as our Manager does not compensate its employees specifically for such services. Furthermore, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers, we do not provide pension or retirement benefits, perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, our executive officers have not received any nonqualified deferred compensation and we do not have arrangements to make payments to our executive officers upon their termination or in the event of a change in control of us.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

We are externally managed by our Manager pursuant to a management agreement and currently we have no employees. We do not directly compensate our executive officers or reimburse our Manager for any compensation paid to our executive officers. For information regarding the compensation of our executives, see “Compensation of Directors And Executive Officers—Executive Compensation.” During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, none of our executive officers served as: (i) a member of a compensation committee (or other committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board; or (ii) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board.

Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 21, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BREIT Merger, LLC (“BREIT Merger”), and Belpointe REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”), BREIT Merger commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to exchange each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Belpointe REIT validly tendered in the Offer for 1.05 Class A units, with any fractional Class A units rounded up to the nearest whole unit (the “Transaction Consideration”). The purpose of the Offer was for us to acquire control of the entire equity interest in Belpointe REIT while at the same time preserving the status of Belpointe REIT’s investments as qualified opportunity zone investments, and our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

The Offer expired on June 18, 2021. As of the expiration of the Offer, 757,098 shares of Belpointe REIT’s Common Stock had been validly tendered, representing 63.62% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) for the Offer was satisfied because the number of shares of Common Stock of Belpointe REIT validly tendered represented at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Offer. In connection with the Offer and Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), we filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-255427) (the “Form S-4”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Form S-4 was declared effective on September 13, 2021. On September 14, 2021, BREIT Merger accepted for exchange all of the shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Offer”) validly tendered in the Offer.

QOZB Sale

In furtherance of the Merger, Belpointe REIT sold its interest (the “Interest”) in the holding company for 1991 Main Street ( “1991 Main”) to Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC (“BI Holding”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. As part of the transaction, BI Holding assumed a $10.8 million secured loan (the “Acquisition Loan”), and Belpointe REIT provided BI Holding with a $24.8 million loan, which was evidenced by a secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum and due and payable at maturity on September 14, 2022 (the “BI Secured Note”). Upon consummation of the Merger, we acquired the BI Secured Note as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT. Effective November 30, 2021, we acquired the Interest from BI Holding in consideration of its payment to us of $0.3 million in interest that had accrued under the terms of the BI Secured Note through November 30, 2021, and in satisfaction of its remaining obligations under the BI Secured Note. On April 22, 2022, we repaid the Acquisition Loan in full.

CMC Redemption

In furtherance of the Merger, on September 30, 2021, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $3.5 million (the “CMC Loan”) to CMC Storrs SPV, LLC (“CMC”), the holding company for 497-501 Middle Turnpike, Mansfield, Connecticut 06268 (“497-501 Middle”). CMC used the proceeds from the CMC Loan to redeem a preferred equity investment that an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Belpointe REIT previously made. The CMC Loan was evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “CMC Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and due and payable at maturity date on June 27, 2022. On June 28, 2022, CMC repaid the CMC Note in full.

Conversion and Merger

On October 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Belpointe REIT converted from a Maryland corporation into a Maryland limited liability company (the “Conversion”) named BREIT, LLC (“BREIT”). In the Conversion each outstanding share of Common Stock of Belpointe REIT was converted into a limited liability company interest (the “Interests”) of BREIT.

All other conditions to the Merger having been satisfied, on October 12, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with §4A-702 of the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act and §18-209 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, with BREIT Merger surviving. In the Merger, each Interest that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration.

Secured Note Transactions

Prior to and in connection with the Offer and Merger, we entered into a series of loan transactions with Belpointe REIT whereby: (i) on October 28, 2020, Belpointe REIT advanced us $35.0 million evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “First Secured Note”) bearing interest at a rate of 0.14%, due and payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) and secured by all of our assets, (ii) on February 16, 2021, Belpointe REIT advanced us an additional $24.0 million evidenced by a second secured promissory note (the “Second Secured Note”) on the same terms as the First Secured Note, and (iii) on May 28, 2021 we entered into an agreement with Belpointe REIT to amend the Maturity Date of the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note to December 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) and Belpointe REIT advanced us an additional $15.0 million evidenced by a third secured promissory note (the “Third Secured Note” and, together with the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note, the “Secured Notes”) on the same terms as the First Secured Note and Second Secured Note.

Upon consummation of the Merger, effective October 12, 2021, we entered into a Release and Cancellation of Indebtedness Agreement with BREIT Merger, the surviving entity in the Merger, pursuant to the terms of which BREIT Merger cancelled the Secured Notes and discharged us from all obligations to repay the principal and any accrued interest on the Secured Notes.

Our Transaction with Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC

Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement to Accept Interests in Satisfaction of Obligations, (the “Agreement to Accept Interests”), effective November 30, 2021, we, through an indirect majority owned subsidiary, acquired the 1991 Main Interest from BI Holding in consideration of its payment to us of $0.3 million in interest that had accrued under the terms of the BI Secured Note through November 30, 2021, and in satisfaction of its remaining obligations under the BI Secured Note.

Our Transaction with Norpointe, LLC

On January 3, 2022, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary we provided a commercial mortgage loan in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Norpointe Loan”) to Norpointe, LLC (“Norpointe”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer. Norpointe is the owner of certain real property located at 41 Wolfpit Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 (the “Norpointe Property”). The Norpointe Loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum, and due and payable on December 31, 2022, and was secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property. Given our excess cash on hand as of the year ended December 31, 2021, management viewed the Norpointe transaction as an opportunity to earn a strong rate of return on that cash by making a low risk—due to the low loan-to-value ratio and first priority mortgage interest—short-term loan rather than depositing the funds in a lower yielding account pending investment in future developments.

On June 28, 2022, for purposes of complying with the qualified opportunity fund requirements under the Code and related Treasury Regulations, we restructured the Norpointe Loan through an indirect majority owned subsidiary (the “Restructured Norpointe Loan”). The Restructured Norpointe Loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, due and payable on June 28, 2023, and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the Norpointe Property.

Our Transactions with Belpointe Specialty Insurance

Certain immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer have a passive indirect minority beneficial ownership interest in Belpointe Specialty Insurance, LLC (“Belpointe Specialty Insurance”). Belpointe Specialty Insurance has acted, and may continue to act, as our broker in connection with the placement of insurance coverage for certain of our properties and operations. Belpointe Specialty Insurance earns brokerage commissions related to the brokerage services that it provides to us, which commissions vary, are based on a percentage of the premiums that we pay and are set by the insurer. We have also engaged, and may continue to engage, Belpointe Specialty Insurance to provide us with contract insurance consulting services related to owner-controlled insurance programs, for which we pay an administration fee.

Management believes that the commissions that Belpointe Specialty Insurance earns are comparable to those commissions that we would pay to unaffiliated third parties in arms-length transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid insurance premiums in the aggregate amount of $0.6 million, from which Belpointe Specialty Insurance earned commissions of $0.1 million.

Our Relationship with our Manager and Sponsor

We are externally managed by our Manager, which is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations, implementing our investment objectives and strategy and performing certain services for us, subject to oversight by our Board and the limitations set forth in our operating agreement. Our Manager is an affiliate of our Sponsor and is indirectly owned by our Chief Executive Officer and beneficially owned by certain immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer.

Our Management Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, a team of investment and asset management professionals, acting through our Manager, makes all decisions regarding the origination, selection, evaluation, structuring, acquisition, financing and development of our commercial real estate properties, real estate-related assets, including commercial real estate loans and mortgages, and debt and equity securities issued by other real estate-related companies, as well as private equity acquisitions and investments, and opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses, subject to the limitations in our operating agreement. Our Manager also provides portfolio management, marketing, investor relations, financial, accounting and other administrative services on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital.

Pursuant to the terms of our management agreement, our Manager is responsible for, among other things:

	●	serving as our investment and financial manager with respect to originating, underwriting, acquiring, and managing our investment portfolio;

	●	structuring the terms and conditions of our acquisitions, sales and joint ventures; and

	●	retaining, for and on our behalf, services related to, among other things, our Primary Offering, and any other offerings that we may conduct, the development, operation and management of our investments, calculation of our NAV, administrative, accounting, tax, legal and investor relations services, financing services, and services related to property management, leasing, development and construction.

The initial term of the management agreement continues through December 31, 2025 and may only be terminated (i) for “cause,” (ii) upon the bankruptcy of our Manager, or (iii) upon a material breach of the management agreement by our Manager. “Cause” is defined in the management agreement to mean fraud or willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable law, in each case that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us. Following the initial term, the management agreement will automatically renew for an unlimited number of three-year terms unless we elect not to renew it by providing our Manager with 180 days’ prior notice.

Upon any termination or non-renewal of the management agreement by us or any termination of the management agreement by our Manager for our breach of the management agreement, our Manager will be entitled to receive its prorated management fee through the expiration or termination date and will be paid a termination fee equal to six times the annual management fee earned by our Manager during the 12-month period ended as of the last day of the quarter immediately preceding the termination date.

In addition, upon any termination or non-renewal of the management agreement, our Manager will continue to hold our Class B units. Upon termination or non-renewal of the management agreement, our Manager will cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested by us to assist our Board in making an orderly transition of the management function.

Management Fee, Class B Units and Expense Reimbursement

As compensation for its services under the management agreement, we pay our Manager a quarterly management fee at an annualized rate of 0.75%. The management fee is based on our NAV at the end of each fiscal quarter. During the year ended December 31, 2021, our Manager was paid $0.7 million in management fees. During the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, our Manager did not receive any management fees.

As additional compensation for its services under the management agreement, we issued our Manager 100,000 Class B units, representing all of our issued and outstanding Class B units. The Class B units entitle our Manager to 5% of any gain recognized by or distributed to us or recognized by or distributed from our Operating Companies or any subsidiary. As a result, any time we recognize an operating gain (excluding depreciation) or receive a distribution, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds, refinancing transactions or otherwise, our Manager is entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate amount of such gain or distribution, regardless of whether the holders of our Class A units have received a return of their capital. The allocation and distribution rights that our Manager is entitled to with respect to its Class B units may not be amended, altered or repealed, and the number of authorized Class B Units may not be increased or decreased, without the consent of our Manager. During the year ended December 31, 2021, and for the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, we did not make any Class B unit allocations or distributions to our Manager.

Pursuant to the management agreement, we reimburse our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, for actual fees and expenses incurred in connection with our public offerings, the Offer, Conversion and Merger, the selection, origination, acquisition and management of our investments, and for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to us. Expenses reimbursable are payable at the election of the recipient in cash, by issuance of our Class A units at the then-current NAV, or through some combination of the foregoing.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, and for the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor, incurred $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for fees and expenses on our behalf.

Our Employee and Cost Sharing Agreement

Pursuant to our employee and cost sharing agreement, our Sponsor provides our Manager with access to portfolio management, asset valuation, risk management and asset management services, as well as administration services addressing legal, compliance, investor relations and information technologies necessary for the performance by our Manager of its duties under the management agreement, and our Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates is entitled to receive expense reimbursements and our Manager’s allocable share of employment costs incurred by the Sponsor.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, and for the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, our Sponsor and its affiliates incurred $0.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for fees, expenses and employment costs on our behalf.

Development Fees

Pursuant to the terms of development agreements that we enter into with affiliates of our Sponsor, such affiliates are entitled to receive (i) development fees on each project in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project, and (ii) reimbursements for their expenses, such as employee compensation and other overhead expenses incurred in connection with the project.

In connection with our acquisitions of 902-1020 First and 900 8th Avenue South, a development fee of 4.5% of total project costs will be charged throughout the course of each project (the “Development Fee”), of which one half was due at the close of each acquisition. The development company receiving the Development Fee is indirectly owned by our Chief Executive Officer and beneficially owned by certain immediate family members of our Chief Executive Officer. For additional details regarding our acquisition of 902-1020 First and 900 8th Avenue South see, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Investments—Investments in Multifamily and Mixed-Use Rental Properties.”

During the year ended December 31, 2021, affiliates of our Sponsor were paid $1.8 million for upfront development fees and we incurred $0.6 million for employee reimbursement expenditures relating to projects under development, of which $0.3 million was paid. During the period beginning January 24, 2020 (formation) to December 31, 2020, affiliates of our Sponsor were paid $2.2 million for upfront development fees and we incurred less than $0.1 million for employee reimbursement expenditures relating to projects under development, of which none was paid.
