Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 20, 2024, Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CIM Service Provider, LLC and CCO Capital, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), pursuant to which the Dealer Manager has agreed to continue to serve as the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s offering (the “Offering”) of a maximum of $400,000,000, on an aggregate basis, of Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series A1 Preferred Stock”). Other than the dealer manager fee, which has decreased from 3.00% to 2.00%, the terms of the Agreement are consistent with the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement with CIM Service Provider, LLC and the Dealer Manager and only reflect certain technical changes in light of the Company’s new registration statement on Form S-11 (Reg. No. 333-278628), declared effective by the SEC on June 7, 2024, pursuant to which the Company will conduct the Offering.

The Agreement requires the Dealer Manager to use its reasonable best efforts to sell the shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock offered in the Offering. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations described in the Agreement, the Company will pay to the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering (1) a dealer manager fee of up to 2.00% of the aggregate selling price of the Series A1 Preferred Stock sold in the Offering and (2) selling commissions of up to 7.00% of the aggregate selling price of the Series A1 Preferred Stock sold in the Offering. The Dealer Manager reallows the full selling commission and, in its sole discretion, may reallow to another broker-dealer authorized by the Dealer Manager to sell shares in the Offering a portion of the dealer manager fee earned by the Dealer Manager in respect of shares sold by such broker-dealer.

The Dealer Manager is a registered broker dealer and an affiliate of the Company that is under common control with CIM Capital, LLC, an affiliate of CIM Management, LLC that, through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries (CIM Capital Securities Management, LLC, a securities manager, CIM Capital RE Debt Management, LLC, a debt manager, CIM Capital Controlled Company Management, LLC, a controlled company manager, and CIM Capital Real Property Management, LLC, a real property manager) provides certain services to CIM Urban Partners, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an investment management agreement, and CIM Service Provider, LLC, an affiliate of CIM Group Management, LLC that provides, or arranges for other service providers to provide, management and administration services to the Company and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries pursuant to a master services agreement.

The description of the Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 1.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
