connection therewith, Belpointe REIT lent BI Holding $24,773,000 pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note bearing interest
at a rate of 5% per annum calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and due and payable on
September 14, 2022 (the “Secured Note”). BI Holding used the proceeds of the Secured Note to acquire the Interest.
As
previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 21, 2021, by and among and Belpointe REIT,

we acquired the Secured Note as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT and BREIT.

the terms of the Secured Note through November 30, 2021.

1991
Main, a 5.3-acre site located at the intersection of Main Street and Links Avenue in downtown Sarasota, Florida, will be redeveloped
into a 418-apartment home community consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and a limited number of four-bedroom townhome-style
penthouse apartments, with approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space located on the first level. We anticipate that 1991 will
consist of two high-rise buildings with 7-stories in the front and 10-stories in the rear. We anticipate that amenities at each building
will include a clubroom, fitness room, center courtyard with heated, saltwater pool, grills and seating and roof top amenities including
a community room and a private dining area for private events as well as outdoor grills and seating. Adjacent to the roof top amenities
at each building, will be three guest units available to guests or families of residents for a fee. Each building will have its own leasing
office located at the entry lobby. Approximately 715 parking spaces will serve the 2 buildings including 590 from an existing parking
garage and 125 new spaces at the ground level. Retail space is anticipated to include a 23,000 square foot grocer, 12,000 square foot
food hall and several smaller spaces for cafes and restaurants.
1991
Main was originally acquired by Belpointe REIT for a purchase price of approximately $20,701,000, inclusive of transaction costs and
deferred financing fees. A portion of the acquisition costs were funded from a secured loan from First Florida Integrity Bank (the “Acquisition
Loan”), the current outstanding principal balance of which is $10,800,000. The Acquisition Loan is payable in consecutive
monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on May
6, 2022. The Acquisition Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum and is guaranteed by Lacoff.
