Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation

Maximum of $692,312,129,

on an aggregate basis, of Series A1 Preferred Stock

Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (formerly known as CIM Commercial Trust Corporation) (the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") is offering a maximum of $692,312,129, on an aggregate basis, of Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A1 Preferred Stock"), with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share (the "Series A1 Stated Value"). As of June 10, 2022, there are no shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Each share of the Series A1 Preferred Stock is offered and will be sold at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, except as otherwise stated in the section entitled "Plan of Distribution" in this prospectus supplement.

The Series A1 Preferred Stock ranks on parity with our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and our Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), each of which ranks on parity with the other. With respect to the payment of dividends, the Series A1 Preferred Stock, along with each of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, ranks senior to our Series L Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series L Preferred Stock" and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock") and our common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"). With respect to the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the Series A1 Preferred Stock, as well as the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock, ranks on parity with our Series L Preferred Stock, to the extent of the stated value of the Series L Preferred Stock, which is presently $28.37 (subject to appropriate adjustment in limited circumstances) (the "Series L Stated Value"), and otherwise ranks senior to our Series L Preferred Stock and our Common Stock. The Series A1 Preferred Stock does not entitle its holders to voting rights in respect of any matter.

Our Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq"), under the ticker symbol "CMCT," and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the "TASE"), under the ticker symbol "CMCT-L."

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). We impose certain restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our capital stock. You should read the information under the section entitled "Description of Capital Stock-Select Charter Provisions Related to Our Capital Stock-Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer" in the accompanying prospectus for a description of these restrictions.

  1. As used in this prospectus supplement, the term "selling price" refers to the marketed public offering price of the Series A1 Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the time of sale of a given share.
  2. Our dealer manager has authorized, and we expect our dealer manager to continue to authorize, other broker-dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("participating broker- dealers") to sell our Series A1 Preferred Stock. Our dealer manager reallows the full selling commissions and may reallow a portion of the dealer manager fee earned on the selling price of each share sold by a participating broker-dealer, to such participating broker-dealer as a non-accountable marketing or due diligence allowance. The amount of the reallowance of the dealer manager fee to any participating broker- dealer will be determined by the dealer manager in its sole discretion. We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation to registered representatives of our dealer manager and the participating broker-dealers. The value of such items will be considered underwriting compensation in connection with this offering. The combined selling commissions, dealer manager fee, and other expenses as described in the "Plan of Distribution" section of this prospectus supplement and any such non-cash compensation that is considered underwriting compensation for this offering will not exceed 10.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering.
  3. The maximum selling commissions and dealer manager fee in respect of the Series A1 Preferred Stock are equal to 7.00% and 3.00% of the aggregate selling price of the Series A1 Preferred Stock, respectively. All such fees are payable to our dealer manager, subject to reallowance to soliciting broker dealers as described in footnote 2 above. The selling commissions and dealer manager fee may be reduced or eliminated with regard to Series A1 Preferred Stock sold to or for the account of certain categories of purchasers. See "Plan of Distribution" in this prospectus supplement.

The dealer manager of this offering is CCO Capital, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and an affiliate of the Company ("CCO Capital"). CCO Capital is under common control with the Operator (as defined herein) and the Administrator (as defined herein). CCO Capital is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Series A1 Preferred Stock, but will use its "reasonable best efforts" to sell such securities. The minimum permitted purchase is generally $5,000, but purchases of less than $5,000 may be made in the discretion of CCO Capital. We may terminate this offering at any time or may offer Series A1 Preferred Stock pursuant to a new registration statement.

We sell Series A1 Preferred Stock primarily through Depository Trust Company ("DTC") settlement or, under special circumstances and at the Company's sole discretion, through Direct Registration System ("DRS") settlement.
