Distribution
Policy
We
do not expect to pay any distributions until our investments are generating operating cash flow. Once we begin to pay distributions,
we expect to pay them quarterly, in arrears, but may pay them less frequently as determined by us following consultation with our Manager.
While we have the discretion to modify our distribution policy at any time, we currently anticipate working up to a target annual distribution
rate of 6-8%. Any distributions that we do pay will be at the discretion of our Manager, subject to Board oversight, and based on, among
other factors, our present and projected future earnings, cash flow, capital needs and general financial condition, as well as any requirements
of applicable law. In order to participate in any distribution that we do pay, you must be a holder of record of our Class A units as
of the record date for such distribution, and as of the ex-date, if applicable. We have not established a minimum distribution level,
and our Operating Agreement does not require that we pay distributions to the holders of our Class A units.
Use
of Proceeds from Registered Sales of Securities
On
September 30, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective our registration statement
on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-255424) (the “Registration Statement”), registering up to $750,000,000 of our
Class A units on a continuous “best efforts” basis, as part of our ongoing initial public offering (the “Primary Offering”),
at an initial price equal to $100.00 per Class A unit. We plan to calculate our net asset
value (“NAV”) of our Class A units on a quarterly basis. The per Class A unit purchase price will be adjusted within
approximately 60 days of the last day of each quarter (the “Determination Date”). If our NAV increases above or decreases
below the price per Class A unit as stated in our prospectus we will adjust the offering price effective as of the first business day
following its public announcement. The adjusted offering price will be equal to our adjusted NAV as of the Determination Date (rounded
to the nearest dollar) divided by the number of Class A units outstanding on the Determination Date.
From the period of October 7, 2021, the date of the first closing held
in connection with our Primary Offering, through December 31, 2021, we issued 2,132,039 Class A units in our Primary Offering, raising
net offering proceeds of $212.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued 141,300 Class A units in connection with
our Primary Offering, raising net offering proceeds of $13.5 million. Together with the gross proceeds raised in Belpointe
REIT, Inc.’s prior offerings, as of December 31, 2022, we have raised aggregate gross offering cash proceeds of $346.3
million. See “—Our Transactions with Belpointe REIT, Inc.”

Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities
In
connection with our formation, on February 11, 2020, we issued 100 common units representing all of the issued and outstanding limited
liability company interests of the Company to our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000.00. No sales commission or other
consideration was paid in connection with the sale. The offer and sale was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as a transaction by an issuer not
involving any public offering. Effective October 30, 2020, our Sponsor sold one common unit to Belpointe Capital Management, LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.00, in reliance upon the exemption from registration
set forth in Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by a person other than an issuer, underwriter or dealer not involving
any public offering.
Effective
September 13, 2021, we (i) amended and restated our Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement, (ii) reclassified all of our outstanding
common units into an equivalent number of Class A units, and (iii) issued 100,000 Class B units and one Class M unit to our Manager.
The Class B units were issued in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the Manager pursuant to the terms of the Management
Agreement, and the Class M unit was issued in furtherance of the power and authority delegated to the Manager under the terms of the
Management Agreement. No sales commission or other consideration was paid in connection with the issuance of the Class B units or the
Class M unit. The issuance of the Class B units and Class M unit was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
As
of December 31, 2022, we have not sold any other equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
