UP TO 800,000 SHARES OF
SERIES AA CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
CaliberCos Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our”, “Caliber” or “our company”) is offering up to 800,000 shares of Series AA Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series AA Preferred Stock, at an offering price of $25.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $20,000,000.
The Series AA Preferred Stock being offered will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock will have an initial stated value equal to $25.00, subject to appropriate adjustment for certain events. Holders of our Series AA Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative monthly cash dividends at a per annum rate of 9.5% of the stated value (or $0.198 per share each month based on the initial stated value). Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of shares of our Series AA Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of our Common Stock, a liquidation preference equal to the stated value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Shares of Series AA Preferred Stock will be redeemable by us or by the holders under certain circumstances described elsewhere in this offering circular. The Series AA Preferred Stock will have no voting rights (except for certain matters). At the third anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series AA Preferred Stock, a holder may elect, with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be unreasonably withheld, to convert all or any portion of such then outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock held by it into that number of shares of our Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the then Stated Value of such shares by the closing price of our Class A Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “NCM”) on the day prior to such date but in no event less than the closing price of our Class A Common Stock as quoted on the NCM on the day prior to the initial Closing Date. See “Description of Securities” beginning on page 93 for additional details.
There is no existing public trading market for the Series AA Preferred Stock, and we do not anticipate that a secondary market for the stock will develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Series AA Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or for quotation in any automated dealer quotation system or other over-the-counter market. Our Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CWD.”
This offering will begin as soon as practicable after this offering circular has been qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”).
Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 before deciding to invest in our securities.

(1) | Retail commissions and the managing dealer fee, each of which is payable to the managing dealer, will equal in the aggregate up to 7% of aggregate gross proceeds. However, we expect the managing dealer to authorize other broker-dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, which we refer to as participating broker-dealers, to sell our Series AA Preferred Stock. The managing dealer may reallow all or a portion of its retail commissions attributable to a participating broker-dealer. In addition, Caliber will pay the managing dealer an amount of up to 1.0% of aggregate gross proceeds as a non-accountable marketing and due diligence allowance, which the managing dealer may reallow to a participating broker-dealer. The amount of the reallowance to any participating broker-dealer will be determined by the managing dealer in its sole discretion. |
(2) | The combined retail commissions, managing dealer fee and additional compensation paid to the managing dealer for this offering will not exceed 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering. |
The managing dealer of this offering is ARKap Markets, LLC. The managing dealer is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares but will use its “reasonable best efforts” to sell the shares offered. The minimum permitted purchase is generally $5,000 but purchases of less than $5,000 may be made at the discretion of the managing dealer.
This offering is being conducted pursuant to Regulation A of Section 3(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for Tier 2 offerings. This offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which the maximum amount of offered Series AA Preferred Stock has been sold, (2) the date which is one year after the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part is originally qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, subject to an extension of up to an additional one year at the discretion of our company and the managing dealer, or (3) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion.
Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or your net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.
