Belpointe PREP (OZ) Risk Analysis

Our Management Agreement with our Manager was negotiated between related parties and its terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. Our Manager's entitlement to a management fee, which is not based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. This in turn could hurt both our ability to pay distributions to holders of our Class A units and the market price of our Class A units.

Under our Operating Agreement, we have authority to issue an unlimited number of additional units and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to such units. In particular, our Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of an unlimited amount of one or more classes or series of units and to fix the number of units, the relative powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions applicable to each class or series thereof by resolution authorizing the issuance of such class or series, without member approval. We may elect to issue and sell additional units in future private or public offerings or issue units to our Manager or its affiliates, including members of the Sponsor Group, in payment of outstanding fees and expenses. We also intend to seek opportunistic acquisitions of other qualified opportunity funds and qualified opportunity zone businesses using our equity as transaction consideration. Holders of our Class A units will not have preemptive rights to any units we issue in the future. To the extent we issue additional equity interests your percentage ownership interest in us would be diluted.

Our investment guidelines delegate to our Manager discretion and authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investments (including the reinvestment of capital basis and gains) in 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, provided such investments are consistent with our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines. Our Manager's investment committee will periodically review our portfolio of assets and investments, our investment objectives and strategy and our investment guidelines to determine whether they remain in the best interests of our members and may recommend changes to our Board as it deems appropriate. Our Board does not, and is not required to, review all of our proposed investments. Our Manager may use complex strategies or enter into costly transactions that are difficult or impossible to unwind by the time they are reviewed by our Board, which could result in investment returns that are below expectations or that result in losses, and which would materially and adversely affect our business operations and results.

While our Operating Agreement provides that our officers and directors have fiduciary duties equivalent to those applicable to officers and directors of a Delaware corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Operating Agreement also provides that our officers and directors are liable to us or holders of our units for an act or omission only if such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties owed to us or the holders of our units, as applicable, by any such officer or director and such breach is the result of (i) willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of law, in each case that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us or (ii) fraud. Furthermore, our Operating Agreement provides that our Sponsor will not have any liability to us or any holder of our units for any act or omission and is indemnified in connection therewith. Under our Operating Agreement, we, our Board and our Manager are each entitled to take actions or make decisions in our "sole discretion" or "discretion" or that we each deem "necessary or appropriate" or "necessary or advisable." In those circumstances, we, our Board and our Manager are entitled to consider only such interests and factors as we each desire, including our own interests, and we have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting any others of us or any holder of the Company's units, and neither we, our Board nor our Manager will be subject to any different standards imposed by our Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or under any other law, rule or regulation or in equity, except that we each must act in good faith at all times. These modifications of fiduciary duties are expressly permitted by Delaware law. These modifications restrict the remedies available to the holders of our units for actions that, without such modifications, may constitute breaches of duty (including fiduciary duty).

We will incur additional costs and expenses associated with, maintaining our status as a publicly traded partnership and operating as an Exchange Act reporting company. Costs and expenses that we will incur, include, without limitation, those associated with the preparation and filing of annual and quarterly reports, federal and state tax returns, Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, investor relations, registrar and transfer agent fees, director compensation, accounting and audit fees and incremental insurance costs, including director and officer liability insurance. It is possible that actual costs and expenses associated with maintain our status as a publicly traded partnership and operating as an Exchange Act reporting company will be higher than we currently estimate and we may require additional capital or future earnings to cover these costs and expenses, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jump Start Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS Act"). As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to: - have an auditor attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act");     - submit certain executive compensation matters to member advisory votes pursuant to the "say on frequency" and "say on pay" provisions (requiring a non-binding member vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute" provisions (requiring a non-binding member vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; or - disclose certain executive compensation related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer's compensation to median employee compensation. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. This means that an emerging growth company can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to subsequently elect to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last date of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more, (ii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.07 billion in non-convertible debt, or (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. Also, even once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we still may not be subject to auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we meet the definition of a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer under Section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. In addition, so long as we are externally managed by our Manager and we do not directly compensate our executive officers, or reimburse our Manager or its affiliates for the compensation paid to persons who serve as our executive officers, we do not expect to include disclosures relating to executive compensation in our periodic reports or proxy statements and, as a result, do not expect to be required to seek member approval of executive compensation and golden parachute compensation arrangements pursuant to Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act.

We are owned by the holders of our Class A units, Class B units and Class M unit. Each Class A unit and each Class B unit entitles the holder thereof to one vote per unit. The Class M unit entitles the holder thereof to that number of votes equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of aggregate number of outstanding Class A units plus Class B units, by (ii) 10, on matters on which the holder of our Class M unit has a vote. The holders of our Class A units and Class B units have voting rights only with respect to certain matters, primarily relating to amendments to our Operating Agreement that would adversely change the rights of the Class A units or Class B units, as applicable, election of our directors (other than the Class M Director (as hereinafter defined)), removal of our directors for "cause" (other than the Class M Director), and our dissolution. Generally, matters to be voted on by the holders of our Class A units must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Class A units and Class B units, voting together as a single class, that are present in person or represented by proxy, although the vote to remove a director for "cause" requires a super-majority, four-fifths vote. If any vote occurs, you will be bound by the majority or supermajority vote, as applicable, even if you did not vote with the majority or supermajority. Our Manager will hold our Class M unit for so long as it remains our manager. Accordingly, our Manager is able to determine the outcome of all matters on which our Class M unit has a vote. Such matters include certain mergers and acquisitions, certain amendments to our Operating Agreement and the election of one Class III director (the "Class M Director"). The Class M unit does not represent an economic interest in the Company.

There can be no assurance that our Manager's due diligence processes will uncover all relevant facts that would be material to an investment decision. Before making an investment, our Manager will assess the strength of the underlying asset and any other factors that it believes are material to the performance of the investment. In making the assessment and otherwise conducting customary due diligence, our Manager will rely on the resources available to it and, in some cases, investigations by third parties.

Our executive officers, Brandon Lacoff and Martin Lacoff, are executive officers of our Manager and its affiliates, including our Sponsor. Prevailing market rates are determined by our Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what our Manager would be able to negotiate with a third party on an arm's length basis. All of the agreements and arrangements between us and our Manager or its affiliates, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arm's length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party. Some of the conflicts inherent in our transactions with our Manager and its affiliates, and the limitations on our Manager and its affiliates adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. We, our Manager, and its affiliates will try to balance our interests with their own. However, to the extent that our Manager and its affiliates take actions that are more favorable to other entities than us, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to the holders of our Class A units and the NAV of our Class A units.

The Management Agreement provides our Manager with broad powers and authority which may result in one or more conflicts of interest between your interests and those of our Manager and its affiliates. This risk is increased by our Sponsor and our Manager being controlled by Brandon Lacoff and Martin Lacoff, who currently participate, and are expected to sponsor and participate, directly or indirectly, in other offerings by our Sponsor and its affiliates. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - our Sponsor, Manager, and their affiliates may continue to offer other real estate, real estate-related and private equity investment opportunities, including additional offerings similar to this offering, and may make investments in assets for their own respective accounts, whether or not competitive with our business;         - our Sponsor, Manager, and their affiliates will not be required to disgorge any profits, fees or other compensation they may receive from any other business they own or operate separately from us, and you will not be entitled to receive or share in any of the profits, returns, fees or other compensation from any other business owned or operated by our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates;         - we may engage our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates to perform services at prevailing market rates. Prevailing market rates are determined by our Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what our Sponsor and our Manager would be able to negotiate with a third party on an arm's length basis; and         - our Sponsor, Manager and their affiliates are not required to devote all of their time and efforts to our business and affairs.

Our agreements between the Company, on one hand, and our Sponsor, Manager, or any of their or our affiliates, on the other, do not grant to the holders of our Class A units, separate and apart from the Company, the right to enforce the terms of such agreements or any obligations of our Sponsor, Manager or their or our affiliates in favor of the Company.
