PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To prospectus dated February 24, 2022)

378,828 Shares

 

Common Stock

This prospectus supplement is a supplement to the accompanying prospectus, dated February 24, 2022, and relates to the possible issuance, from time to time, of up to 378,828 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (our “common stock”), in exchange for Class A equity interests (the “Class A Shares”) of Outfront Canada Holdco LLC, a subsidiary of OUTFRONT Media Inc. that controls its Canadian business (the “DownREIT”), tendered for redemption. We may only offer our common stock if the holders of these Class A Shares present them for redemption, and we exercise our right to issue our common stock to the holders instead of paying a cash amount. The registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement satisfies our contractual obligation to do so, but does not necessarily mean that the holders of Class A Shares will exercise their redemption rights or that, upon any such redemption, we will elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, to redeem some or all of the Class A Shares for shares of our common stock instead of paying a cash amount.

We will receive no cash proceeds from any issuance of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement, but we will acquire additional equity interests in the DownREIT in exchange for any such issuances.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “OUT.” On February 23, 2022 the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE was $24.18 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any common stock, you should carefully consider the risks that we have described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement, as well as those described in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement is February 24, 2022.

For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in our filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.

THE COMPANY

We are one of the largest providers of advertising space on out-of-home advertising structures and sites across the U.S. and Canada. Our inventory consists of billboard displays, which are primarily located on the most heavily traveled highways and roadways in top Nielsen Designated Market Areas, and transit advertising displays operated under exclusive multi-year contracts with municipalities in large cities across the U.S. and Canada. In total, we have displays in all of the 25 largest markets in the U.S. and approximately 150 markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our top market, high profile location focused portfolio includes sites in and around both Grand Central Station and Times Square in New York, various locations along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The breadth and depth of our portfolio provides our customers with a range of options to address their marketing objectives, from national, brand-building campaigns to hyper-local campaigns that drive customers to the advertiser’s website or retail location “one mile down the road.”

Our executive offices are located at 405 Lexington Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10174, and our telephone number is (212) 297-6400. Our website is located at www.outfrontmedia.com.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K that has been filed with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference, and any other documents that we have filed with the SEC and that are incorporated herein by reference, as well as other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in any other documents incorporated into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus by reference, before acquiring any of our common stock. We expect to update these Risk Factors from time to time in the periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement. These updated risk factors will be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could result in a complete loss of your investment. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the incorporated documents also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned above. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to This Offering

The exchange of Class A Shares of the DownREIT for shares of our common stock is a taxable transaction.

The exchange of Class A Shares of the DownREIT for shares of our common stock (which may occur following the tender of such shares for redemption if we elect to satisfy the redemption obligation in shares of our common stock) will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Class A Shares by the holder of such Class A Shares. The holder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received in the exchange, plus the amount of the DownREIT liabilities allocable to the Class A Shares being exchanged, less the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Shares exchanged. The recognition of any loss is subject to a number of limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is possible that the amount of gain recognized or even the tax liability resulting from the gain could exceed the value of the shares of our common stock received upon the exchange. In addition, the ability of a holder of Class A Shares to sell a substantial number of shares of our common stock in order to raise cash to pay tax liabilities associated with the exchange of Class A Shares may be restricted and, as a result of stock price fluctuations, the price the holder receives for the shares of our common stock may not equal the value of the Class A Shares at the time of the exchange.

An investment in our common stock is different from an investment in Class A Shares of the DownREIT.

If a holder of Class A Shares exercises its right to redeem Class A Shares, the holder may receive cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock in exchange for the Class A Shares. If a holder tenders all of its Class A Shares and receives cash, the holder will no longer have any interest in the DownREIT or us, will not benefit from any subsequent increases in the share price of our common stock and will not receive any future distributions from the DownREIT or us (unless the holder currently owns or acquires in the future additional shares of our common stock or additional Class A Shares). If a holder receives shares of our common stock in exchange for Class A Shares of the DownREIT, the holder will become one of our stockholders rather than a shareholder in the DownREIT. Although the nature of an investment in shares of our common stock is substantially equivalent economically to an investment in Class A Shares of the DownREIT, there are differences between ownership of the two securities. These differences, some of which may be material to you, include: form of organization; management control; voting and consent rights; liquidity; and U.S. federal income tax considerations. These differences are further described under “Comparison of Class A Shares to Common Stock.”

S-6

The market price and trading volume of our common stock could be volatile.

The market price of our common stock could be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock could fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of these factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include:

• actual or anticipated variations in our annual or quarterly results of operations, including our earnings estimates and whether we meet market expectations with regard to our earnings;

• actual or anticipated changes to our dividend or other distribution amounts and cash available for dividends or other distributions;

• publication of research reports by analysts or others about us or the media, advertising or REIT industries, which may be unfavorable, inaccurate, inconsistent or not disseminated on a regular basis;

• changes in market interest rates that may cause purchasers of our shares to demand a different yield;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

• market reaction to any additional equity, debt or other securities that we may issue in the future, and which may or may not dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• actions by institutional or significant stockholders;

• speculation in the press or investment community about our company or industry;

• strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or other investments;

• legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions affecting our business, our industry or REITs, including positions taken by the IRS;

• anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings, or litigation that involve or affect us;

• the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement; and

• general market and economic conditions.

Future offerings of debt, which would be senior to our common stock upon liquidation, and/or preferred equity securities, which may be senior to our common stock for purposes of distributions or upon liquidation, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt or preferred equity securities, including convertible or non-convertible senior or subordinated notes, convertible or non-convertible preferred stock, medium-term notes and trust preferred securities. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. In addition, any preferred stock we may issue could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on distribution payments that could limit our ability to make a distribution to the holders of our common stock. Since our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock.

There may be future dilution of our common stock as a result of future sales of our common stock, which could adversely impact our stock price.

The issuance of shares of our common stock (or securities convertible into shares of our common stock) from time to time may have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, which could adversely impact the market price of our common stock. The actual amount of dilution and the effect on the market price of our common stock, if any, will be based on numerous factors, particularly the actual number of shares issued, the use of proceeds and

S-7

the return generated by the investments acquired with the net proceeds, and cannot be determined at this time. In addition, the issuance and sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Increases in market interest rates may cause potential investors to seek higher returns and therefore reduce demand for our common stock, which could result in a decline in our stock price.

One of the factors that may influence the price of our common stock is the return on our common stock (i.e., the amount of distributions as a percentage of the price of our common stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which are currently at low levels relative to historical rates, may lead prospective purchasers of our common stock to expect a return, which we may be unable or choose not to provide. Further, higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease the cash available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

S-8

USE OF PROCEEDS

We are registering the shares of our common stock to which this prospectus supplement relates pursuant to our contractual obligation to the holders of Class A Shares of the DownREIT. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement, but we will acquire additional equity interests in the DownREIT in exchange for such issuances.

S-9

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus supplement relates to the possible issuance by us from time to time of up to 378,828 shares of our common stock to holders of Class A Shares in the DownREIT, and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. We may only offer our common stock if the holders of these Class A Shares present them for redemption, and we exercise our right to issue our common stock to them instead of paying a cash amount. The registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement satisfies our contractual obligation to do so, but does not necessarily mean that the holders of Class A Shares will exercise their redemption rights or that, upon any such redemption, we will elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, to redeem some or all of the Class A Shares for shares of our common stock instead of paying a cash amount. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “OUT.”

We will receive no cash proceeds from any issuance of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus supplement, but we will acquire equity interests of the DownREIT in exchange for such issuances.

We have filed this prospectus supplement pursuant to our obligations under a registration rights agreement, dated June 13, 2017, that we entered into with persons who received Class A Shares in connection with the formation of the DownREIT. We have agreed to indemnify the persons who received registration rights against specified liabilities, including certain potential liabilities arising under the Securities Act or to contribute to the payments such persons may be required to make in respect thereof. We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with registering shares of our common stock pursuant to such registration rights agreement, including the following: (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, (iii) printing and distribution expenses, (iv) internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of our officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of such shares on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by us are then listed, (vi) fees and disbursements of our counsel and our independent public accountants and (vii) the fees and expenses of any experts retained by us in connection with such registration, including accounting fees and expenses. The holders of such shares of common stock will be responsible for the payment of any and all other expenses incurred by such holders in connection with the registration and sale of such shares, including, without limitation, brokerage and sales commissions, underwriting fees and placement agent fees, discounts and commissions attributable to the sale of such shares, fees and disbursements of counsel for such holders, all salaries and expenses of such holders’ officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties and any transfer taxes relating to the sale or disposition of such shares.

S-10

REDEMPTION OF CLASS A SHARES

Class A Share Redemption Procedures

The following description of the redemption provisions of the Class A Shares is only a summary of such provisions, and holders of Class A Shares should carefully review the rest of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the documents we incorporate by reference as exhibits to this prospectus supplement and such accompanying prospectus, particularly the Company’s Charter (our “charter”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “bylaws”), for more complete information. Additionally, holders of the Class A Shares may request a copy of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Outfront Canada Holdco LLC (the “Operating Agreement”).

Following June 13, 2018, at any time during a period (the “Window Period”) commencing on the second trading day after we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and ending five trading days after the commencement date, a holder of Class A Shares has the right to cause the DownREIT to redeem all or any portion of the holder’s Class A Shares for cash. If a holder tenders Class A shares for redemption, instead of the DownREIT redeeming the tendered Class A Shares, Outfront Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the managing shareholder of the DownREIT (the “Managing Shareholder”), or one of its designated affiliates, may elect to assume the DownREIT’s redemption obligation and, at its election and in its sole and absolute discretion, satisfy the redemption by either redeeming the Class A Shares for cash or exchanging them for shares of our common stock, or any combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

Upon a redemption, the tendering holder will receive for each Class A Share either (a) an amount of cash equal to the market value of one share of our common stock (multiplied by an anti-dilution adjustment factor), plus the per share amount of any shortfall in any preferred distributions owed to the holder of Class A Shares, or (b) a number of shares of our common stock equal to the cash amount divided by the market value of one share of our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the adjustment factor is 1.0. The adjustment factor may be adjusted from time to time to account for the economic effect of (i) the payment of any dividends or other distributions on our common stock in shares of common stock, any split or subdivision in our outstanding common stock, and any reverse stock split or other combination of our outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares, (ii) the distribution of rights, options or warrants to all holders of our common stock to subscribe or purchase securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for our common stock at a price per share less than market value of our common stock on the record date for such distribution, or (iii) the payment of any dividends or other distributions to all holders of our common stock of evidences of our indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above), which evidences of indebtedness or assets relate to assets not received by us pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the DownREIT. In connection with a redemption, the market value of our shares of common stock will be deemed to be the average of the closing price of our common stock for the 15 trading days ending on the fifth trading day immediately prior to the date (or if not a business day, the business day preceding such date) on which we receive a notice of redemption with respect to the tendered Class A Shares.

A tendering holder effecting a redemption of all or a portion of the holder’s Class A Shares must deliver to the DownREIT a notice of redemption as required by the Operating Agreement. In general, a tendering holder has the right to receive cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock, which are generally payable no later than the date (the “Redemption Date”) that is the fourteenth (14th) day after the last date of the Window Period during which the redemption notice was delivered (or, if such day is not a business day, the next following business day). All shares of our common stock delivered in exchange for Class A Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in our charter, our bylaws, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or blue sky laws. When shares of our common stock are issued in exchange for Class A Shares tendered for redemption, the tendering holder will be deemed the owner of such shares of common stock for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the date that is the earlier of (a) the date of actual receipt of the shares of common stock, or (b) the Redemption Date. The tendering holder’s right to receive any distributions with respect to the tendered Class A Shares will cease as of such date.

Our acquisition of Class A Shares, whether acquired in exchange for shares of our common stock or cash, will be treated as a sale of the Class A Shares to us for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

S-11

COMPARISON OF CLASS A SHARES TO COMMON STOCK

The information below highlights a number of the significant differences and similarities between the DownREIT and the Company relating to, among other things, form of organization, policies and restrictions, management structure and investor liability, and compares the principal legal rights associated with the ownership of Class A Shares and shares of common stock in the Company. These comparisons are intended to assist holders in understanding how the holder’s investment will be changed if the holder redeems Class A Shares and receives shares of common stock.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS A SUMMARY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THESE MATTERS, AND HOLDERS OF CLASS A SHARES SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE BALANCE OF THIS PROSPECTUS, THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS IS A PART, THE OPERATING AGREEMENT AND AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION THEREWITH AND OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS FOR ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DOWNREIT AND THE COMPANY.

Class A Shares of the DownREIT	Common Stock of the Company
Form of Organization and Purpose
The DownREIT is a Delaware limited liability company formed to engage in any business or activity relating to out-of-home advertising in Canada.	The Company is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a REIT.
Length of Investment
The term of the DownREIT will continue until it is dissolved upon the determination of the Managing Shareholder or the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution.	The Company has a perpetual term and intends to continue its operations for an indefinite time period.
Management Control
The Managing Shareholder has responsibility for the management and control of the DownREIT, including the power to cause the DownREIT to enter into certain major transactions, subject to the voting rights of other shareholders as described under “Voting Rights” below. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the Managing Shareholder may not undertake certain actions, including the following:   • take any action that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the DownREIT, or permit the DownREIT to engage in material business activities other than out-of-home advertising in Canada;   • establish or increase reserves not for a legitimate business purpose, or for the purpose of depriving shareholders of distributions;   • enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts the ability of a shareholder from exercising its redemption rights; or	Our board of directors has exclusive control over our business and affairs subject only to the applicable provisions of Maryland law and the provisions in our charter and bylaws.

S-12

Class A Shares of the DownREIT	Common Stock of the Company
• transfer the direct or indirect interest of the DownREIT in certain subsidiaries
Fiduciary Duties
Under the Operating Agreement and applicable Delaware law, the Managing Shareholder and the directors of the DownREIT owe a duty to act in good faith and perform their contractual obligations as expressly set forth in the Operating Agreement, but have no other duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to the DownREIT, any shareholder or any other person.	Under Maryland law, each director must perform his or her duties in good faith, in a manner that he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with the care of an ordinarily prudent person in a like position under similar circumstances. These duties apply to each director individually. Under Maryland law, an act of a director is generally presumed to satisfy such standards.
Management’s Liability and Indemnification
The Managing Shareholder has no personal liability to the DownREIT or its shareholders for any action or omission taken in good faith. The Managing Shareholder is not responsible to the DownREIT or any shareholder for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of its employees or agents appointed by the Managing Shareholder in good faith.   The Operating Agreement provides for indemnification of the Managing Shareholder, other shareholders, and officers, employees, representatives and agents of the Managing Shareholder and the DownREIT, from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in which such person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person’s relationship to the DownREIT or which relates to or arises out of the DownREIT or its property, business or affairs, unless such person acted in bad faith or committed gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, knew that the act or omission was unlawful.	Our charter contains a provision which eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Neither the provisions of our charter nor Maryland law limit the ability of us or our stockholders to obtain other relief, such as an injunction or rescission. Our charter authorizes us, and our bylaws obligate us, to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.
Takeover Defense Provisions
Except in limited circumstances, the Managing Shareholder has exclusive management power over the business and affairs of the DownREIT. The Managing Shareholder may not be removed as Managing Shareholder by the other shareholders with or without cause. We may replace the Managing Shareholder at any time with another entity that is majority-owned and controlled by us.	Our charter and bylaws contain a number of provisions that may delay or discourage an unsolicited proposal for the acquisition of our company or the removal of incumbent management. These provisions include:   • authorized capital stock that may be issued as preferred stock in the discretion of our board of directors, with voting or other rights superior to the common stock;

S-13

Class A Shares of the DownREIT	Common Stock of the Company
	• provisions designed to avoid concentration of share ownership in a manner that would jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Code; and   • the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.   Maryland law also contains provisions which could delay, defer or prevent a change of control or other transaction. See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.
Sale of Assets; Merger, Consolidation or Conversion
Under the Operating Agreement, the Managing Shareholder generally has the exclusive authority to determine whether, when and on what terms the assets of the DownREIT will be sold. The Managing Shareholder generally has full power and authority to acquire, sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any assets of the DownREIT, without the consent of the other shareholders. Under the Operating Agreement, the DownREIT may engage in a merger, consolidation or conversion with the prior approval of the Managing Shareholder and, subject to certain exceptions, the approval of the other shareholders.   If the DownREIT sells or otherwise disposes of certain of its assets prior to June 13, 2022, the DownREIT may be required to pay holders of Class A Shares an amount intended to approximate their resulting tax liability.	Our charter provides that we generally may not dissolve, merge or consolidate with, or convert into, another entity, sell all or substantially all of our assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless the action is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. In addition, Maryland law provides certain restrictions relating to “business combinations” (including a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange and, in certain circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities). See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.
Dissolution
The DownREIT will dissolve upon the determination of the Managing Shareholder or the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution.	The dissolution of the Company must be declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Amendments
Generally, the Operating Agreement permits amendments with the approval of the Managing Shareholder, other shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares held by all shareholders (excluding the Managing Shareholder), and shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Class B Shares of the DownREIT (“Class B Shares”). Additionally, certain amendments may be made by the Managing Shareholder without the consent of the other shareholders.	Generally, amendments to our charter must be declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.

S-14

Class A Shares of the DownREIT	Common Stock of the Company
Additional Equity/Potential Dilution
Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Managing Shareholder is authorized to cause the DownREIT from time to time to issue to the existing shareholders (including the Managing Shareholder) or other persons (a) Class A Shares or Class B Shares, or (b) additional shares of the DownREIT on terms and conditions acceptable to the Managing Shareholder.	Our charter provides that we may issue up to 450,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 700,000 shares are classified and designated as Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). See “Description of Common Stock” and “Description of Preferred Stock” in the accompanying prospectus.   A majority of the entire board of directors may, without any action by the stockholders, amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we have the authority to issue. See “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.
Liability of Investors
Under the Operating Agreement and applicable Delaware law, the liability of the shareholders for the debts and obligations of the DownREIT is generally limited to the amount of their investment in the DownREIT.	Under Maryland law, our stockholders are generally not personally liable for our debts or obligations solely as a result of their status as stockholders.
Voting Rights
The Operating Agreement provides shareholders with certain limited voting rights. Subject to certain exceptions, the Managing Shareholder cannot, without the consent of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares held by all the shareholders (excluding the Managing Shareholder), undertake, on behalf of the DownREIT, certain actions or enter into any transactions that would have the effect of such actions, including the following:   • make or revoke any tax elections of the DownREIT or take certain other actions that would result in any adverse tax consequences to any shareholder that are disproportionate to those that would result for any other shareholder;   • make any tax decisions of the DownREIT that would result in any material adverse tax consequences to any shareholder that are disproportionate to those that would result for any other shareholder;	The Company is managed under the direction of a board of directors, as elected by the stockholders. Generally, major actions, including most amendments to our charter, must be approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. See “Description of Common Stock” and “Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws” in the accompanying prospectus.

Liquidity
There is no market for Class A Shares, and Class A Shares are not listed for trading on any securities exchange.   No shareholder may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of its Class A Shares without the consent of the Managing Shareholder, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion.	Shares of common stock issued pursuant to this prospectus supplement will be freely transferable, subject to prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions in our charter. Our common stock is listed and traded on the NYSE.
Dividends/Distributions

See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus.

S-17

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF A REDEMPTION OF CLASS A SHARES

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations regarding the redemption of Class A Shares for shares of our common stock or for cash, as described in this prospectus supplement. This summary does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the Code, the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), rulings and other administrative pronouncements issued by the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. This summary is for general information only and is not tax advice. It does not discuss any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to us or an investment in the Class A Shares.

This summary assumes that investors will hold their Class A Shares as a capital asset, which generally means as property held for investment. This discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to holders of Class A Shares in light of their personal investment or tax circumstances, or to holders of Class A Shares who receive special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws except to the extent discussed specifically herein. Holders of Class A Shares receiving special treatment include, without limitation:

• financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• broker-dealers;

• S corporations, real estate investment trusts, and regulated investment companies;

• partnerships, other pass-through entities and trusts;

• persons who hold the Class A Shares on behalf of other persons as nominees;

• persons who receive Class A Shares as compensation;

• persons holding Class A Shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;

• U.S. persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

• tax-exempt organizations (including individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts); and

• foreign investors.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of holders of Class A Shares depends, in some instances, on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of U.S. federal income tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. In addition, the tax consequences to any particular holder of Class A Shares will depend on the holder’s particular tax circumstances. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax consequences to you in light of your particular investment or tax circumstances of redeeming, exchanging, or otherwise disposing of Class A Shares.

Redemption of Class A Shares

If we redeem a Class A Share for cash or for shares of our common stock, a tendering holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized in the transaction (i.e., the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any shares of common stock received plus the amount of the partnership liabilities allocable to such tendered Class A Share at such time) and (ii) the holder’s tax basis in the Class A Share disposed of, which tax basis will be adjusted for the Class A Share’s allocable share of the DownREIT’s income, gain or loss for the taxable year of disposition. The tax liability resulting from the gain recognized on the disposition of a Class A Share could exceed the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of common stock received in exchange therefor. The use of any loss recognized upon an exchange is subject to a number of limitations set forth in the Code. A holder’s adjusted tax basis in any of our common stock received in exchange for Class A Shares will be the fair market value of those shares of our common stock on the date of the exchange. Similarly, a holder’s holding period in such shares of our common stock will begin on the date of the exchange.

S-18

If the DownREIT redeems a tendered Class A Share for cash (which is not contributed by us to effect the redemption), the tax consequences generally would be the same as described in the preceding paragraph, except that if the DownREIT redeems less than all of a holder’s Class A Shares, the holder would recognize no taxable loss and would recognize taxable gain only to the extent that the cash, plus the amount of the DownREIT liabilities allocable to the redeemed Class A Shares, exceeded the holder’s adjusted tax basis in all of such holder’s Class A Shares immediately before the redemption.

Disguised Sales

Under the Code, a transfer of property by a partner to a partnership followed by a related transfer by the partnership of money or other property to the partner is treated as a disguised sale if (i) the second transfer would not have occurred but for the first transfer and (ii) the second transfer is not dependent on the entrepreneurial risks of the partnership’s operations. In a disguised sale, the partner is treated as if he or she sold the contributed property to the partnership as of the date the property was contributed to the partnership. Transfers of money or other property between a partnership and a partner that are made within two years of each other, including a redemption of Class A Shares made within two years of a contribution of property by a holder of Class A Shares to the DownREIT, must be reported to the IRS and are presumed to be a disguised sale unless the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the transfers do not constitute a sale.

A redemption of Class A Shares within two years of the date of a contribution of property by a holder of Class A Shares to the DownREIT may be treated as a disguised sale. If this treatment were to apply, such holder of Class A Shares would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if, on the date of its contribution of property to the DownREIT, the DownREIT transferred to such holder an obligation to pay such holder the redemption proceeds. In that case, the holder of Class A Shares would be required to recognize gain on the disguised sale in such earlier year.

Character of Gain or Loss Recognized

Except as described below, the gain or loss that a holder of Class A Shares recognizes on a sale, exchange or redemption of a tendered Class A Share will be treated as a capital gain or loss and will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the Class A Share exceeds twelve months. Long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other noncorporate taxpayers are generally taxable at reduced maximum U.S. federal rates. However, if the amount realized with respect to a Class A Share that is attributable to a holder’s share of “unrealized receivables” of the DownREIT exceeds the tax basis attributable to those assets, such excess will be treated as ordinary income. Among other things, unrealized receivables include depreciation recapture for certain types of property. In addition, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to persons who are noncorporate taxpayers for net capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property (which may be determined to include an interest in a partnership such as the DownREIT) held for more than twelve months is currently 25% (rather than 20%) to the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions that would not be treated as unrealized receivables.

Medicare 3.8% Tax on Investment Income

Certain U.S. persons that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on dividends and certain other investment income. Investment income generally will include gain from the redemption of Class A Shares for cash or for shares of our common stock. If you are a U.S. person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of this tax.

Passive Activity Losses

The passive activity loss rules of the Code limit the use of losses derived from passive activities, which generally include investments in partnership interests such as the Class A Shares. You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning whether, and the extent to which, you have available suspended passive activity losses from the DownREIT or other investments that may be used to offset gain from the sale, exchange or redemption of your Class A Shares tendered for redemption.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This prospectus covers the offer and sale of debt securities of OUTFRONT Media Inc., a Maryland corporation, Outfront Media Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Outfront Media Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As used in this section, the term “applicable issuer” refers to OUTFRONT Media Inc. in the case of debt securities of OUTFRONT Media Inc., Outfront Media Capital Corporation in the case of debt securities of Outfront Media Capital Corporation or Outfront Media Capital LLC in the case of debt securities of Outfront Media Capital LLC, in each case excluding any of the issuers’ respective subsidiaries, unless expressly stated or the context requires otherwise. The debt securities will have the terms described in this prospectus unless the prospectus supplement describes different terms.

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between the applicable issuer or issuers, the guarantors party thereto and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “trustee”). We have incorporated the form of the indenture (the “indenture”) by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. When debt securities are offered in the future, the prospectus supplement will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply.

The indenture provides that the debt securities may be issued in one or more series, with different terms, in each case as authorized from time to time by the applicable issuer. The indenture also gives the applicable issuer the ability to reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series or establish additional terms for that series of debt securities. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities or other unsecured debt which the applicable issuer may issue. The trustee serves two principal roles:

• the trustee can enforce your rights against us if an Event of Default (as defined and described below) occurs; and

• the trustee performs various administrative duties.

The following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to the debt securities and the indenture. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the indenture.

General

The debt securities will be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. The indenture does not limit the total principal amount of debt securities that the applicable issuer can issue. The applicable issuer may issue the debt securities in one or more series as the applicable issuer may authorize from time to time. In addition, the applicable issuer may “reopen” a previous issue of debt securities by issuing additional debt securities of that series.

A prospectus supplement and a supplemental indenture (or resolutions of the board of directors or action of the sole member, as applicable, or an officer’s certificate pursuant to authority granted under resolutions of the board of directors, each in lieu of a supplemental indenture) relating to any series of debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:

• the title of the debt securities;

• any limit on the total principal amount of the debt securities;

• whether the debt securities are senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities or a combination thereof;

• the dates on which the principal and premium, if any, of the debt securities will be payable;

• the interest rate (or method of determining the rate) that the debt securities will bear, the interest payment dates for the debt securities and the record dates for determination of the holders to whom interest is payable;

• the place where the principal, premium and interest on the debt securities will be paid;

• any optional redemption periods and prices and any specific terms or conditions related to optional redemptions;

• whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into other securities;

7

• any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate the applicable issuer to repurchase or otherwise redeem the debt securities;

• the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

• the manner in which the amounts of principal, premium or interest payments on the debt securities will be determined if these amounts may be determined by reference to an index;

• the currency in which the principal, premium and interest on the debt securities will be paid if other than the United States dollar;

• if other than the entire principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities (a) payable if the maturity of the debt securities is accelerated or (b) provable in bankruptcy;

• any provisions relating to any security provided for the debt securities;

• any changes in or additions to the Events of Default;

• whether the debt securities may be issued in the form of global securities and the terms and conditions of the global securities;

• any changes or additions to the covenants; and

• any other terms of the debt securities.

The debt securities may be issued at a discount below their stated principal amount. Even if the applicable issuer does not issue the debt securities below their stated principal amount, for U.S. federal income tax purposes the debt securities may be deemed to have been issued with a discount because of certain interest payment characteristics. The U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued at a discount or deemed to be issued at a discount will be described in a prospectus supplement. Any special U.S. federal income tax considerations or other restrictions or terms applicable to the debt securities being issued, including, as applicable, securities issuable in bearer form, offered exclusively to foreigners or denominated in a foreign currency, will be also be described in a prospectus supplement.

Debt securities may be issued in fully registered form without coupons or in a form registered as to principal only with coupons or in bearer form with coupons. Unless specified in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be in fully registered form without coupons. In addition, debt securities may be issued in the form of one or more global securities as described below.

Registration, Transfer and Payment

Principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on securities will be payable on the dates and in the manner the applicable issuer designates as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

You may present fully registered securities for transfer or exchange at the corporate trust office of the trustee or any other office or agency we maintain for that purpose, without the payment of any service charge except for any tax or governmental charge incidental to the transfer or exchange. Provisions for the transfer or exchange of securities in other forms will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Global Securities

The debt securities may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities. A global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of such security. The global securities will be deposited with the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. Unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive form, a global certificate may generally be transferred only as a whole to certain nominees of the depositary or to a successor depositary or nominee of a successor depositary.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement. We expect that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements.

Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to “participants” or persons that may hold interests through participants. The term “participants” means institutions that have established accounts with the

8

depositary or its nominee. Upon the issuance of a global security, and the deposit of the global security with or on behalf of the depositary, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of participants. The underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited. If the applicable issuer offers and sells the debt securities directly or through agents, either the applicable issuer or its agent will designate the accounts. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary and its participants. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

Principal of, any premium on and any interest payments on debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security. The applicable issuer and the trustee will treat the depositary or its nominee as the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by a global security for all purposes, including for paying principal, premium and interest. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not:

• be entitled to have the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names;

• receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form; or

• be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities.

Therefore, the applicable issuer and the trustee do not have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on or interest, if any, on any debt securities represented by a global security to owners of beneficial interests in the global security.

We expect that the depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payments, will on the same date credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the depositary’s or its nominee’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street names” and will be the responsibility of these participants and will not be the responsibility of the depositary or its nominee, the trustee or the applicable issuer. The applicable issuer or the trustee is responsible only for paying principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the depositary or its nominee. The depositary or its nominee and the direct and indirect participants are responsible for disbursing these payments to the owners of beneficial interests in the global securities.

If the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the applicable issuer within ninety days, the applicable issuer will issue individual debt securities in exchange for the global security. In addition, the applicable issuer may at any time in our sole discretion determine not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by global securities and, in such event, will issue debt securities of such series in exchange for the global security.

Neither the applicable issuer, the trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. No such person will be liable for any delay by the depositary or any of its participants in identifying the owners of beneficial interests in a global security, and the applicable issuer, the trustee and any paying agent may conclusively rely on instructions from the depositary or its nominee for all purposes.

Subordination

The debt securities may be senior or subordinated. Senior debt securities will rank on an equal basis with all our other unsecured debt obligations except subordinated debt.

Subordinated debt securities will rank subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities, to all the applicable issuer’s “senior debt” (which will be defined in the applicable prospectus supplement).

9

If the applicable issuer defaults in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any senior debt when it becomes due and payable after any applicable grace period, then, unless and until the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, the applicable issuer cannot make a payment on account of or redeem or otherwise acquire the subordinated debt securities.

If there is any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding relating to the applicable issuer, its creditors or its property, then all senior debt must be paid in full before any payment may be made to any holders of subordinated debt securities.

Furthermore, if the applicable issuer defaults on the payment of the principal of and accrued interest on any subordinated debt securities that is declared due and payable upon an event of default under the indenture, holders of all senior debt will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before holders of the subordinated debt can receive any payments.

Conversion or Exchange Rights

The terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or other of our securities will be detailed in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder, or at the applicable issuer’s option, and may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or other of our securities to be received by the holders of the series of debt securities would be subject to adjustment.

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

The indenture provides that, except as otherwise provided in any prospectus supplement, the applicable issuer may consolidate with or merge into or wind up into another person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our properties or assets to another person, if, among other things:

• the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if other than the applicable issuer) expressly assumes all the applicable issuer’s obligations under the debt securities and the indenture; and

• the applicable issuer or such successor person is not immediately thereafter in default under the indenture.

Upon the assumption of the applicable issuer’s obligations by such a person upon the sale of all or substantially all the assets in compliance with the indenture, the applicable issuer shall be discharged from all obligations under the debt securities and the indenture. Although such transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a “change in control,” as described in any prospectus supplement, permitting each holder to require the applicable issuer to purchase the debt securities of such holder as described in any prospectus supplement.

Modification and Waiver

The indenture (including the terms and conditions of the debt securities) may be modified or amended by the applicable issuer and the trustee, with respect to any series of debt securities, without the consent of the holder of such series of debt securities, for the purposes of, among other things:

• adding to the applicable issuer’s covenants for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities of such series;

• surrendering any right or power conferred upon the applicable issuer in respect of such series;

• providing for the assumption of the applicable issuer’s obligations to the holders of the debt securities of such series;

• complying with the requirements of the SEC in connection with the registration of the debt securities of such series under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; and

• curing any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

Modifications and amendments to the indenture or to the terms and conditions of the debt securities of such series may also be made, and past defaults by the applicable issuer may be waived with the consent of the

10

holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series at the time outstanding. However, no such modification, amendment or waiver may, without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected:

• change the stated maturity of such debt security;

• reduce the principal amount at maturity, redemption price or purchase price on such debt security;

• change the currency of payment of such debt security or interest thereon;

• reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount at maturity of any debt security outstanding necessary to modify or amend the indenture or to waive any past default;

• impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to such debt security; or

• in the case of any debt security that is subject to a guarantee, release the guarantor of such guarantee from any of its obligations under such guarantee, except in accordance with the terms of the indenture and such security.

Events of Default

Unless the applicable issuer provides otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture provides that the following are “Events of Default” with respect to any series of the debt securities issued thereunder:

• default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on any debt security of such series;

• default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to any debt security of such series;

• default in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment when the same shall become due and payable on the terms of any debt securities of such series;

• failure for 60 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee or holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series to comply with any of our other obligations, covenants or agreements in respect of the debt securities of such series contained in the indenture or the debt securities;

• certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

• if the debt securities are subject to a guarantee of a guarantor, such guarantee for any reason ceases to be, or for any reason shall be asserted in writing by such guarantor or the applicable issuer, not to be in full force and effect; or

• any other event of default described in the prospectus supplement for such series.

An Event of Default with respect to any particular series of debt securities issued under an indenture does not necessarily constitute an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under such indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any debt securities of any default (except in the payment of principal or interest) if it considers such withholding is in the interests of such holders.

Unless the applicable issuer provides otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, if an Event of Default with respect to any series of debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of debt securities may declare the principal of all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that subject to certain conditions, any such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and annulled by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series.

The indenture requires the applicable issuer to file annually with the trustee a certificate, signed by a specified officer, stating whether or not such officer has obtained knowledge of any default by the applicable issuer in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any condition or covenant of such indenture, and, if so, specifying each such default and the nature thereof.

11

Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of a default, the trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders, unless the holders shall have offered to such trustee reasonable indemnity.

Subject to such provisions for indemnification, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the appropriate trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon such trustee, with respect to the debt securities of such series.

Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Defeasance

With certain exceptions, the applicable issuer may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities:

• by delivering to the trustee for cancellation all outstanding debt securities of such series or by depositing with the trustee cash or securities (as applicable under the terms of the indenture) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness evidenced by the outstanding debt securities of such series that have not then been delivered to the trustee for cancellation when or after such securities have become due and payable; and

• by paying all other sums payable by the applicable issuer under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series.

Under federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, such deposit and discharge may be treated as a disposition of the related debt securities. Each holder might be required to recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the holder’s cost or other tax basis in the debt securities and the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received upon such disposition. Holders might be required to include as income a different amount than would be includable without the discharge. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a discharge, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than the federal income tax law.

A series of debt securities may have no conditions for defeasance or may have additional or different conditions for defeasance as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Governing Law

The indenture is, and the debt securities will be, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

12

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES

To the extent provided in the applicable supplement to this prospectus, the debt securities offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus may be guaranteed by one or more guarantors. Each guarantee will be issued under a supplement to the applicable indenture. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of guarantees will describe the terms of those guarantees, including the following, to the extent applicable:

• the series of debt securities to which the guarantees apply;

• whether the guarantees are secured or unsecured;

• whether the guarantees are senior, senior subordinated or subordinated;

• the terms under which the guarantees may be amended, modified, waived, released or otherwise terminated, if different from the provisions applicable to the guaranteed debt securities; and

As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 700,000 shares are classified and designated as Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Some of the provisions described in

14

the section “Description of Common Stock—Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” may also apply to any shares of preferred stock we may issue. The applicable prospectus supplement will specify any additional ownership limitations relating to a class or series of preferred stock.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock

On April 20, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland Articles Supplementary classifying and designating the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Articles Supplementary”) and establishing the designation, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of our common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend accruing at the initial rate of 7.0% per year, payable quarterly in arrears. The dividend rate will increase by an additional 0.75% per annum effective on each anniversary of the Closing Date beginning on and following the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date. The dividend rate is subject to increases during certain other circumstances as set forth in the Articles Supplementary, including an increase by up to 2.00% per year during periods in which we fail to make certain dividend payments or fail to pay certain amounts due in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends may, at our option, be paid in cash, in-kind, through the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and in-kind, until the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, after which time dividends will be payable solely in cash. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, we may not declare a dividend on, or make any distributions relating to, capital stock that ranks junior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to (i) any dividend or distribution in cash or capital stock of the Company on or in respect of the capital stock of the Company to the extent that such dividend or distribution is necessary to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or to avoid the payment of any federal or state income or excise tax; and (ii) any dividend or distribution in cash in respect of our common stock that, together with the dividends or distributions during the 12-month period immediately preceding such dividend or distribution, is not in excess of 5% of the aggregate dividends or distributions paid by the Company necessary to maintain its REIT status or to avoid the payment of any federal or state income or excise tax during such 12-month period. Following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, if all or any portion of the dividends or distributions is paid in respect of the shares of our common stock in cash, then concurrently and as a condition to such payment, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will participate in such dividends or distributions on an as-converted basis up to the amount of their accrued dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for such quarter, which amounts will constitute an advance on and reduce the dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock dollar-for-dollar for such quarter.

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of any holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.00 per share and an initial conversion rate of 62.50 shares of our common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

At any time from and after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, if (i) the volume-weighted average price of our common stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days in any period of 30 trading days, and (ii) (A) the Company has an effective resale shelf registration statement on file with the SEC or (B) the shares of our common stock to be issued on mandatory conversion would be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale or availability of current public information (whether or not then satisfied), all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted, at the election of the Company, into the relevant number of shares of our common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. In addition, we may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock for cash at any time after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends as of the applicable redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock can either (i) require the Company to purchase any or all of their shares of Series A

15

Preferred Stock (a “Change of Control Put”) at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 105% of the sum of the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends as of the applicable purchase date, or (ii) convert any or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock (a “Change of Control Conversion”) into the number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference (including accrued and unpaid dividends as of the conversion date) divided by the then-applicable conversion price, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock may not be permitted to effect a Change of Control Conversion if such conversion would materially and adversely affect our status as a REIT. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which a Change of Control Put or Change of Control Conversion was not exercised may be redeemed in cash, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of the applicable redemption date.

The issuance of shares of our common stock upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is subject to a cap, as may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions in the Articles Supplementary, equal to 28,856,239 shares of common stock (the “Share Cap”) unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval (to the extent required under the New York Stock Exchange listing rules) for the issuance of additional shares (“Stockholder Approval”). If the Share Cap would be exceeded in connection with the issuance of shares upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will deliver to holders an amount of cash per share equal to the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date for each share of our common stock that holders would have received had they converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into our common stock on the conversion date. Additionally, the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock as an in-kind dividend is subject to the Share Cap, and if any in-kind dividends of Series A Preferred Stock would cause the total number of shares of our common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible to exceed the Share Cap, such dividend shall instead be paid in cash to the extent permitted under Maryland law, unless and until the Company obtains Stockholder Approval.

The Articles Supplementary provide that holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock (voting together as one class) on an as-converted basis, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the terms of the Articles Supplementary. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of our common stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder could then be converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not have the right to vote shares of Series A Preferred Stock on as as-converted basis in excess of the Share Cap unless and until the Company obtains the Stockholder Approval.

Certain matters will require the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a separate class, including, among others, (i) the authorization, issuance or reclassification of, or any amendments to the charter and bylaws to authorize, create or increase the issued shares of, any class or series of senior or parity equity securities or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of senior or parity equity securities; (ii) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of junior equity securities by the Company (other than certain exceptions, such as repurchases of equity securities in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans or existing DownREIT arrangements); (iii) the incurrence of any additional indebtedness by the Company or its subsidiaries not otherwise permitted under the Company’s indebtedness agreements existing on the Closing Date, as they may be amended, restated, replaced or refinanced from time to time; and (iv) the issuance of any preferred stock or senior securities or securities convertible into preferred stock or senior securities of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than to the Company or the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries) in connection with any financing transaction or any capital raising transaction. Additionally, amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or other changes of any provision of the charter (including the Articles Supplementary) that adversely alters or changes the rights, powers, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, shall require the approval of holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock under certain circumstances, or a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock under other circumstances, voting as a separate class. Finally, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have exclusive voting rights on any charter amendment that would alter the contract rights of only the Series A Preferred Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The following summary of the terms of our common stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the charter and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “bylaws”). Copies of our charter and bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

General

Our charter provides that we may issue up to 450,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Under Maryland law, our stockholders generally are not liable for our debts or obligations solely as a result of their status as stockholders.

Shares of Common Stock

Subject to the preferential rights, if any, of holders of any other class or series of our stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, and to the provisions of our charter relating to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive distributions when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders and are entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, after payment of or adequate provision for all of our known debts and liabilities.

Subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock and except as is otherwise specified in the terms of any class or series of our stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and, except as may be provided with respect to any other class or series of our stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of our common stock possess the exclusive voting power. Under the bylaws, directors in uncontested elections are elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee at a duly called meeting of stockholders, and directors in contested elections are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast. Under our current Corporate Governance Guidelines, if an incumbent director receives more votes “against” than votes “for” his or her election in an uncontested election, he or she is required to offer to resign from the board of directors and the nominating and governance committee of the board of directors will consider such offer to resign and recommend to the board of directors whether to accept or reject the resignation offer. The Company will then promptly disclose the decision of the board of directors in a periodic or current report filed with or furnished to the SEC. In both uncontested and contested elections, holders of shares of our common stock have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Consequently, the holders of shares of stock entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors can elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares may cast their votes but will be unable to influence the election of directors.

Holders of shares of our common stock generally have no appraisal, preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities. Subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, shares of our common stock have equal distribution, liquidation and other rights.

Power to Increase or Decrease Authorized Shares of Stock, Reclassify Unissued Shares of Stock and Issue Additional Shares of Common Stock

Our charter authorizes our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board and without stockholder approval, to amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we are authorized to issue. Our charter authorizes our board of directors to authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of our common stock.

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock into other classes or series of stock, including one or more classes or series of stock that may have preferences over our common stock with respect to distributions or upon liquidation, and to authorize us to issue the newly

17

classified shares. Prior to the issuance of shares of each new class or series, our board of directors is required by Maryland law and by our charter to set the number of shares in such class or series and, subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock and subject to the express terms of any class or series of stock then outstanding, including the Series A Preferred Stock, the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers (including exclusive voting rights), restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each class or series. Therefore, although our board of directors does not currently have any plans to do so, it could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price for shares of our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

We believe that the power of our board of directors to approve amendments to our charter to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock, to authorize us to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of common stock and thereafter to authorize us to issue such classified or reclassified shares of stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs that might arise.

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer

In order for us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, shares of our stock must be owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to qualify to be taxed as a REIT has been made). Also, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of our stock (after taking into account options to acquire shares of stock) may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as private foundations) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). To qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we must satisfy other requirements as well. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of OUTFRONT Media Inc.—Requirements for Qualification—General.”

Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock that are intended to assist us in complying with these requirements, among other purposes. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, beneficially or by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8%, in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “common stock ownership limit”) or 9.8% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of all classes or series of our stock (the “aggregate stock ownership limit”). We refer to the common stock ownership limit and the aggregate stock ownership limit collectively as the “ownership limits.” We refer to the person or entity that, but for operation of the ownership limits or another restriction on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock as described below, would beneficially own or constructively own shares of our stock in violation of such limits or restrictions and, if appropriate in the context, a person or entity that would have been the record owner of such shares of our stock as a “prohibited owner.”

The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause shares of stock owned beneficially or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be owned beneficially or constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8%, in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or less than 9.8% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of all classes and series of our stock (or the acquisition by an individual or entity of an interest in an entity that owns, beneficially or constructively, shares of our stock), could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own beneficially or constructively shares of our stock in excess of the ownership limits.

18

Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt, prospectively or retroactively, a particular stockholder from the ownership limits or establish a different limit on ownership (the “excepted holder limit”) if we obtain such representations and undertakings from such stockholders as are reasonably necessary for the board of directors to determine that:

• no individual’s beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock will result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise failing to qualify to be taxed as a REIT; and

• such stockholder does not and will not own, actually or constructively, an interest in a customer (i.e., a lessee of real property for purposes of the REIT requirements) of ours (or a customer of any entity owned or controlled by us) that would cause us to own, actually or constructively, more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such customer (or our board of directors determines that revenue derived from such customer will not, individually or in the aggregate with our other revenues, affect our ability to qualify to be taxed as a REIT).

Any violation or attempted violation of any such representations or undertakings will result in such stockholder’s shares of stock being automatically transferred to a charitable trust. As a condition of granting the waiver or establishing an excepted holder limit, our board of directors may require an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the IRS, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to our board of directors, in its sole discretion, in order to determine or ensure our status as a REIT. Notwithstanding any ruling or opinion, our board of directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such a waiver or establishing an excepted holder limit.

In connection with granting a waiver of the ownership limits or creating an excepted holder limit or at any other time, our board of directors may from time to time increase or decrease the common stock ownership limit, the aggregate stock ownership limit or both, for all other persons, unless, after giving effect to such increase, five or fewer individuals could beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than 49.9% in value of our outstanding stock or we would otherwise fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. A reduced ownership limit will not apply to any person or entity whose percentage ownership of our common stock or our stock of all classes and series, as applicable, is, at the effective time of such reduction, in excess of such decreased ownership limit until such time as such person’s or entity’s percentage ownership of our common stock or our stock of all classes and series, as applicable, equals or falls below the decreased ownership limit, but any further acquisition of shares of our common stock or stock of all other classes or series, as applicable, will violate the decreased ownership limit.

Our charter further prohibits:

• any person from beneficially or constructively owning, applying certain attribution rules of the Code, shares of our stock that would result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT;

• any person from transferring shares of our stock if the transfer would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code); and

• any person from beneficially or constructively owning shares of our stock to the extent such ownership would result in us failing to qualify as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code.

Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that will or may violate the ownership limits or any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock described above, or who would have owned shares of our stock transferred to the trust as described below, must immediately give written notice to us of such event or, in the case of an attempted or proposed transaction, give us at least 15 days’ prior written notice and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, to be taxed as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions and limits on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock described above is no longer required.

19

If any transfer of shares of our stock would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, the transfer will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in the shares. In addition, if any purported transfer of shares of our stock or any other event would otherwise result (i) in any person violating the ownership limits or an excepted holder limit established by our board of directors, (ii) in us being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise failing to qualify to be taxed as a REIT or (iii) in us failing to qualify as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code, then that number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) that would cause the violation will be automatically transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable organizations selected by us, and the intended transferee or other prohibited owner will acquire no rights in the shares. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in a transfer to the trust. If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent a violation of the applicable ownership limits or our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or our otherwise failing to qualify to be taxed as a REIT or as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity,” then our charter provides that the transfer of the shares will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares.

Shares of our stock held in the trust will be issued and outstanding shares. The prohibited owner will not benefit economically from ownership of any shares of our stock held in the trust and will have no rights to dividends or other distributions and no rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares of our stock held in the trust. The trustee of the trust will exercise all voting rights and receive all dividends or other distributions with respect to shares held in the trust for the exclusive benefit of the charitable beneficiary of the trust. Any dividend or other distribution made before we discover that the shares have been transferred to a trust as described above must be repaid by the recipient to the trustee upon demand by us. Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will have the authority (at the trustee’s sole discretion) to rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited owner before our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust and to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee may not rescind and recast the vote.

Shares of our stock transferred to the trustee are deemed offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the prohibited owner for the shares (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price (as such term is defined in our charter) at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the market price on the date we, or our designee, accept such offer. We may reduce the amount payable to the prohibited owner by the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we made to the prohibited owner before we discovered that the shares had been automatically transferred to the trust and that are then owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee as described above, and we may pay the amount of any such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. We have the right to accept such offer until the trustee has sold the shares of our stock held in the trust as discussed below. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates, and the trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited owner and must distribute any distributions held by the trustee with respect to such shares to the charitable beneficiary.

If we do not buy the shares, the trustee must, within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of shares to the trust, sell the shares to a person designated by the trustee who could own the shares without violating the ownership limits or the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock. After the sale of the shares, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee must distribute to the prohibited owner an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the prohibited owner for the shares (or, if the prohibited owner did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the trust (for example, in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the market price of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the trust) and (ii) the sales proceeds (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the trust for the shares. The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the prohibited owner by the amount of any dividends or other distribution that we paid to the prohibited owner before we discovered that the shares had been automatically transferred to the trust and that are then owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee as described above. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the prohibited owner must be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary, together with any

20

distributions thereon. In addition, if, prior to the discovery by us that shares of stock have been transferred to a trust, such shares of stock are sold by a prohibited owner, then (x) such shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and, (y) to the extent that the prohibited owner received an amount for or in respect of such shares that exceeds the amount that such prohibited owner was entitled to receive pursuant to our charter, such excess amount will be paid to the trustee upon demand.

In addition, if our board of directors at any time determines that a transfer or other event has occurred that would violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock described above or that a person intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of shares that would cause such person to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares described above (whether or not such violation is intended), our board of directors may take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer or other event, including, but not limited to, causing us to redeem shares of our stock, refusing to give effect to the transfer on our books or instituting proceedings to enjoin the transfer.

Every owner of 5% or more (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder) of our stock, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, must give us written notice stating the stockholder’s name and address, the number of shares of each class and series of our stock that the stockholder beneficially owns and a description of the manner in which the shares are held. Each such owner must provide to us such additional information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of the stockholder’s beneficial ownership on our status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limits. In addition, any person or entity that is a beneficial owner or constructive owner of shares of our stock and any person or entity (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of our stock for a beneficial owner or constructive owner must, on request, provide to us such information as we may request in order to determine our status as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance and to ensure compliance with the ownership limits. These restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock took effect upon completion of our initial public offering and will not apply if our board of directors determines, even without approval from our stockholders, that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, to be taxed as a REIT or that compliance with any restriction or limitation on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock is no longer required.

The restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock described above could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control, including one that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The following summary of certain provisions of Maryland law and of our charter and bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the MGCL, our charter and our bylaws. Copies of our charter and bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of eight directors. In accordance with the terms of our charter, our board of directors was fully declassified after our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our charter provides that the number of directors on our board of directors is fixed exclusively by our board of directors pursuant to the bylaws, but may not be fewer than the minimum required by the MGCL, which is one. Our bylaws provide that our board of directors must consist of not less than one and not more than 15 directors.

Election of Directors; Removals; Vacancies

Our bylaws provide that directors in uncontested elections are elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee at a duly called meeting of stockholders, and directors in contested elections are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast.

Our charter provides that, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, our directors may be removed at any time, but only for cause, as defined in our charter, and then only by the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.

Our charter provides that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to fill vacancies. Any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. In addition, certain holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to designate one individual for nomination as a director.

Meetings of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that a meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business will be held annually on a date and at the time and place set by our board of directors. Our chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors may call a special meeting of our stockholders. Subject to the provisions of our bylaws, a special meeting of our stockholders to act on any matter that may properly be brought before a meeting of our stockholders must also be called by our corporate secretary upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at the meeting and containing the information required by our bylaws. Our corporate secretary will inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and delivering the notice of meeting (including our proxy materials), and the requesting stockholder must pay such estimated cost before our corporate secretary is required to prepare and deliver the notice of the special meeting.

Stockholder Actions by Written Consent

Under the MGCL, stockholder action may be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting unless the charter provides for a lesser percentage. Our charter permits stockholder action by consent in lieu of a meeting to the extent permitted by our bylaws. Our bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a unanimous consent setting forth the action is given in writing or by electronic transmission by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and filed with the minutes of proceedings of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may act on any matter which they have sole voting power by delivering a written or electronic consent authorized by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting of stockholders.

23

Effects of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws

The MGCL contains, and our charter and bylaws contain, provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price for shares of our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, including cause requirements for removal of directors and advance notice requirements for director nominations and other stockholder proposals. Likewise, if the provision in our bylaws opting out of the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL or the resolution exempting certain business combinations from the business combination provisions of the MGCL were repealed or rescinded, these provisions of the MGCL could have similar antitakeover effects. Further, the restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock described in the section entitled “Description of Common Stock—Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control, including one that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations, Proxy Access and New Business

Our bylaws provide that, with respect to an annual meeting of our stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by our stockholders may be made only (i) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (iii) by any stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date set by the board of directors for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, at the time of giving the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting on such business or in the election of each such nominee and who has provided notice to us within the time period and containing the information and other materials specified in the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.

With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made only (i) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (ii) if the meeting has been called for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date set by the board of directors for the purposes of determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, at the time of giving the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each such nominee and who has provided notice to us within the time period and containing the information and other materials specified in the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.

The advance notice procedures of our bylaws provide that, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice with respect to director nominations or other proposals for an annual meeting must be delivered to our corporate secretary at our principal executive office not earlier than the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting. In the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. With respect to a special meeting, stockholders generally must provide notice to our corporate secretary at our principal executive office not earlier than the 120th day before such special meeting nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 90th day before the special meeting or the tenth day after the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting and the nominees of our board of directors to be elected at the meeting.

In addition to advance notice procedures, the bylaws also include provisions permitting, subject to certain eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements, stockholders who have maintained continuous qualifying ownership of at least 3% of our outstanding shares of common stock for at least three years to use our annual meeting proxy statement to nominate a number of director candidates not to exceed the greater of two candidates or 20% of the number of directors then up for election.

Amendment of Charter and Bylaws

Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally may not amend its charter unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes

24

entitled to be cast on the matter) is specified in the corporation’s charter. Our charter provides that we generally may amend our charter if such action is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the exclusive right to vote on any charter amendment that would alter the contract rights of only the Series A Preferred Stock.

Our bylaws provide that our board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws.

Transactions Outside the Ordinary Course of Business

Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally may not dissolve, merge or consolidate with, or convert into, another entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless the action is declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is specified in the corporation’s charter. Our charter provides that we generally may not dissolve, merge or consolidate with, or convert into, another entity, sell all or substantially all of our assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless the action is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Business Combinations

Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations” (including a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange and, in certain circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time during the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding stock of the corporation) or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must generally be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and (ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation, other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, unless, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as described in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. A corporation’s board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board.

The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Our board of directors has by resolution exempted from the provisions of the Maryland business combination act all business combinations between us and any other person, provided that such business combination is first approved by our board of directors (including a majority of our directors who are not affiliates or associates of such person). Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to a business combination between us and any other person if our board of directors has first approved the combination. As a result, a person may be able to enter into a business combination with us that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders, without compliance with the supermajority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute. We cannot assure you that our board of directors will not amend or repeal this resolution in the future.

Control Share Acquisitions

The MGCL provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation (defined as voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned or controlled by the acquirer, would entitle the

25

acquirer to exercise voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy) in the election of directors within one of three increasing ranges) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of issued and outstanding “control shares,” subject to certain exceptions) have no voting rights with respect to such shares except to the extent approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. The control share statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the Maryland corporation. Shares owned by the acquirer, officers of the corporation or employees of the corporation who are also directors of the corporation are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter.

Our bylaws contain a provision opting out of the control share acquisition statute. This provision may be amended or eliminated at any time in the future by our board of directors.

Subtitle 8

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions of the MGCL that provide for:

• a classified board;

• a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

• a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the board of directors;

• a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

• a majority requirement for the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders.

We have opted into the Subtitle 8 provision relating to director vacancies, and, as a result, vacancies on our board may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors and directors elected by the board to fill vacancies will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we (i) vest in the board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships and (ii) require, unless called by our chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors, the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast at such a meeting to call a special meeting.

Forum Selection Clause

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors or officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be, in each case, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division.

REIT Qualification

Our charter provides that our board of directors may authorize us to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election without approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

Indemnification and Limitation of Directors’ and Officers’ Liability

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision eliminating the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting

26

from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and that is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains a provision that eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The MGCL requires us (unless our charter provides otherwise, which it does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits us to indemnify any present or former director or officer, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding to or in which he or she may be made or threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of his or her service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

• the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

• the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

• in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

Under the MGCL, we may not indemnify a director or officer in a suit by us or in our right in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to us or in a suit in which the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses.

In addition, the MGCL permits us to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon our receipt of:

• a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by us; and

• a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct.

Our charter authorizes us, and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:

• any present or former director or officer of the Company who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, a proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; and

• any individual who, while a director or officer of the Company and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, manager or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment trust, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by our charter and bylaws vest immediately upon an individual’s election as a director or officer. Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee of the Company or a predecessor of the Company.

The indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses provided by the indemnification provisions of our charter and bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses may be or may become entitled under any statute, bylaw, resolution, insurance, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

27

In addition, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things, for indemnification as provided in the agreement and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by law and our charter and bylaws against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees. The indemnification agreements provide for the advancement or payment of expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such advancement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to an investment in our common stock or, with respect to non-U.S. holders, an investment in debt securities of the applicable issuer. This summary does not discuss the consequences of an investment in shares of our preferred stock, warrants or guarantees of debt securities. The tax consequences of such an investment will be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement. For purposes of this section, references to “OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” “we,” “our” and “us” generally mean only OUTFRONT Media Inc., and references to the “applicable issuer” mean OUTFRONT Media Inc. in the case of debt securities of OUTFRONT Media Inc., Outfront Media Capital Corporation in the case of debt securities of Outfront Media Capital Corporation or Outfront Media Capital LLC in the case of debt securities of Outfront Media Capital LLC, and not its subsidiaries or other lower-tier entities, except as otherwise indicated. References to “customers” are to persons who are treated as lessees of real property for purposes of the REIT requirements. This summary is based upon the Code, the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), rulings and other administrative pronouncements issued by the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. The summary is also based upon the assumption that we and our subsidiaries and affiliated entities will operate in accordance with our and their applicable organizational documents. This summary is for general information only, is based on current law, and is not tax advice. It does not discuss any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to us or an investment in our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer, nor does it purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular investor in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to investors subject to special tax rules, such as:

• banks or other financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• broker-dealers;

• regulated investment companies;

• partnerships, other pass-through entities and trusts;

• persons who hold our stock on behalf of other persons as nominees;

• persons who receive our stock as compensation;

• persons holding our stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;

• persons subject to special accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our stock or debt securities being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

• U.S. persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

• and, except to the extent discussed below:

• tax-exempt organizations (including individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts); and

• foreign investors.

This summary assumes that investors will hold their common stock or debt securities as a capital asset, which generally means as property held for investment.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of holders of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer depends, in some instances, on determinations of fact and interpretations of complex provisions of U.S. federal income tax law for which no clear precedent or authority may be available. In addition, the tax consequences to any particular holder of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer will depend on the holder’s particular tax circumstances. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the specific tax considerations applicable to you with respect to holding or disposing of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer.

Taxation of OUTFRONT Media Inc.

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year beginning July 17, 2014. We believe we have been organized and have operated in a manner that allows us to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year beginning July 17, 2014, and intend to continue to be organized and operate in this manner. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including through actual annual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we have been organized and have operated, or will continue to be organized and operate, in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. See “—Failure to Qualify.”

The sections of the Code and the corresponding Treasury regulations that relate to qualification and taxation as a REIT are highly technical and complex. The following sets forth certain aspects of the sections of the Code that govern the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“REIT Tax Counsel”) has acted as our tax counsel in connection with this prospectus and our election to be taxed as a REIT.

REIT Tax Counsel has rendered an opinion to us to the effect that, commencing with our taxable year beginning July 17, 2014, we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT, and that our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. Investors should be aware, however, that opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS or any court. The opinion of REIT Tax Counsel represents only the view of REIT Tax Counsel, based on its review and analysis of existing law and on various assumptions and representations as to factual matters and covenants made by us, including representations relating to the values of our assets and the sources of our income. The opinion was expressed as of the date issued. REIT Tax Counsel will have no obligation to advise us or the holders of our securities of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed or of any subsequent change in applicable law. Furthermore, both the validity of the opinion of REIT Tax Counsel and our qualification to be taxed as a REIT depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis, the results of which will not be monitored by REIT Tax Counsel. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals and all of which have not been and will not be reviewed by REIT Tax Counsel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual results of operation for any particular taxable year have satisfied or will satisfy those requirements. See “—Failure to Qualify.” Further, the anticipated income tax treatment described in this summary may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any time. REIT Tax Counsel has no obligation to update its opinion subsequent to its date.

We have received a private letter ruling from the IRS with respect to certain issues relevant to our qualification to be taxed as a REIT. The ruling provides, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, that our lease revenues from certain advertising structures and sites and certain services that we, an independent contractor or a TRS may provide, directly or through subsidiaries, to our customers, will enable us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. Although we may generally rely upon the ruling, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge our qualification to be taxed as a REIT on the basis of other issues or facts outside the scope of the ruling.

Taxation of REITs in General

As indicated above, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. The material qualification requirements are summarized below under “—Requirements for Qualification—General.” While we intend to operate so that we continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge our qualification or that we will be able to operate in accordance with the REIT requirements in the future. See “—Failure to Qualify.”

Provided that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we will generally be entitled to a deduction for dividends that we pay and therefore will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our net taxable income that is

30

currently distributed to our stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” at the corporate and stockholder levels that generally results from an investment in a C corporation. A C corporation is a corporation that generally is required to pay tax at the corporate level.

In any year in which we qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we will nonetheless be subject to U.S. federal tax in the following circumstances:

We will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed net taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains.

If we have net income from prohibited transactions, which are, in general, sales or other dispositions of inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property, such income will be subject to a 100% tax. See “—Prohibited Transactions” and “—Foreclosure Property.”

If we elect to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or certain leasehold terminations as “foreclosure property,” we may thereby avoid the 100% tax on gain from a resale of that property (if the sale would otherwise constitute a prohibited transaction), but the income from the sale or operation of the property may be subject to corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate.

If we fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test, as discussed below, but nonetheless maintain our qualification to be taxed as a REIT because we satisfy other requirements, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount based on the magnitude of the failure, as adjusted to reflect the profit margin associated with our gross income.

If we violate the asset tests (other than certain de minimis violations) or other requirements applicable to REITs, as described below, and yet maintain our qualification to be taxed as a REIT because there is reasonable cause for the failure and other applicable requirements are met, we may be subject to a penalty tax. In that case, the amount of the penalty tax will be at least $50,000 per failure, and, in the case of certain asset test failures, will be determined as the amount of net income generated by the non-qualifying assets in question multiplied by the highest corporate tax rate if that amount exceeds $50,000 per failure.

If we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for such year and (iii) any undistributed net taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of (a) the amounts that we actually distributed and (b) the amounts we retained and upon which we paid income tax at the corporate level.

We may be required to pay monetary penalties to the IRS in certain circumstances, including if we fail to meet recordkeeping requirements intended to monitor our compliance with rules relating to the composition of a REIT’s stockholders, as described below in “—Requirements for Qualification—General.”

A 100% tax may be imposed on transactions between us and a TRS that do not reflect arm’s-length terms.

The earnings of our domestic TRSs will generally be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax.

In addition, we and our subsidiaries may be subject to a variety of taxes, including payroll taxes and state, local, and foreign income, property, gross receipts and other taxes on our assets and operations. We could also be subject to tax in situations and on transactions not presently contemplated.

Any net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other tax attributes generally do not pass through to our stockholders, subject to special rules for certain items such as the capital gains that we recognize. See “—Taxation of Stockholders—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders—Distributions.”

Requirements for Qualification—General

The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:

(1)
that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

(2)
the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

(3)
that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for its election to be subject to tax as a REIT;

31

(4)
that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject to specific provisions of the Code;

(5)
the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;

(6)
in which, during the last half of each taxable year, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer “individuals” (as defined in the Code to include specified tax-exempt entities); and

(7)
that meets other tests described below, including with respect to the nature of its income and assets.

The Code provides that conditions (1) through (4) must be met during the entire taxable year, and that condition (5) must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months, or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Conditions (5) and (6) need not be met during a corporation’s initial tax year as a REIT (which, in our case, was 2014). Our charter provides restrictions regarding the ownership and transfers of shares of our stock, which are intended to assist us in satisfying the stock ownership requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above, among other purposes. These restrictions, however, may not ensure that we, in all cases, will be able to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in conditions (5) and (6) above. If we fail to satisfy these share ownership requirements, except as provided in the next two sentences, our status as a REIT will terminate. If, however, we comply with the rules contained in applicable Treasury regulations that require us to ascertain the actual ownership of our shares and we do not know, or would not have known through the exercise of reasonable diligence, that we failed to meet the requirements described in condition (6) above, we will be treated as having met this requirement. Moreover, if our failure to satisfy the share ownership requirements is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, we may retain our REIT qualification but will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure.

To monitor compliance with the stock ownership requirements, we generally are required to maintain records regarding the actual ownership of our stock. To do so, we must demand written statements each year from the record holders of significant percentages of our stock pursuant to which the record holders must disclose the actual owners of the stock (i.e., the persons required to include our dividends in their gross income). We must maintain a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with this demand as part of our records. We could be subject to monetary penalties if we fail to comply with these recordkeeping requirements. If any such record holder fails or refuses to comply with the demands, such record holder will be required by Treasury regulations to submit a statement with such record holder’s tax return disclosing such record holder’s actual ownership of our stock and other information.

In addition, a corporation generally may not elect to become a REIT unless its taxable year is the calendar year. We adopted December 31 as our year-end, and thereby satisfy this requirement.

Effect of Subsidiary Entities

Ownership of Partnership Interests. We own and operate certain assets through entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Treasury regulations provide that we are deemed to own our proportionate share of a partnership’s assets, and to earn our proportionate share of a partnership’s income, for purposes of the asset and gross income tests applicable to REITs. Our proportionate share of a partnership’s assets and income is based on our capital interest in the partnership (except that for purposes of the 10% value test, described below, our proportionate share of the partnership’s assets is based on our proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by the partnership). In addition, the assets and gross income of a partnership are deemed to retain the same character in our hands. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of income of any of our subsidiary partnerships will be treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT requirements.

If we become a limited partner or non-managing member in any partnership or limited liability company and such entity takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT unless we were entitled to relief, as described below under “—Income Tests—Failure to Satisfy the Gross Income Tests” and “—Asset Tests.”

32

Allocations of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction. A partnership agreement (or, in the case of a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the limited liability company agreement) will generally determine the allocation of partnership income and loss among partners. Generally, section 704(b) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations require that partnership allocations respect the economic arrangement of the partners. If an allocation of partnership income or loss does not comply with the requirements of section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners’ interests in the partnership. This reallocation will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. Our subsidiary partnerships’ allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of section 704(b) of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations.

Tax Allocations with Respect to Contributed Assets. Under the Code and the Treasury regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for tax purposes so that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution, and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. Such allocations are solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners. To the extent that any of our subsidiary partnerships acquires appreciated (or depreciated) properties by way of capital contributions from its partners, allocations would need to be made in a manner consistent with these requirements. This could cause us to be allocated lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax purposes than would be allocated to us if the contributed assets were acquired in a cash purchase, and could cause us to be allocated taxable gain upon a sale of contributed assets in excess of the economic or book income allocated to us as a result of such sale. These adjustments could make it more difficult for us to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements.

Partnership Audit Rules. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 imposes the rules applicable to U.S. federal income tax audits of partnerships (such as certain of our subsidiaries) and the collection of any tax resulting from any such audits or other tax proceedings. Under these rules, the partnership itself may be liable for an increase in taxes that would ordinarily apply at the partner level (including interest and penalties) resulting from an adjustment of partnership tax items on audit, regardless of changes in the composition of the partners (or their relative ownership) between the year under audit and the year of the adjustment. The rules also include an elective alternative method under which the additional taxes resulting from the adjustment are assessed from the affected partners, subject to a higher rate of interest than otherwise would apply. These changes could increase the U.S. federal income tax, interest, and/or penalties otherwise borne by us in the event of a U.S. federal income tax audit of a subsidiary partnership.

Disregarded Subsidiaries. If we own a corporate subsidiary that is a “qualified REIT subsidiary,” that subsidiary is generally disregarded as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all of the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit, including for purposes of the gross income and asset tests applicable to REITs. A qualified REIT subsidiary is any corporation, other than a TRS (as described below), that is directly, or indirectly through disregarded subsidiaries, wholly owned by a REIT. Other entities that are wholly owned by us, including single-member limited liability companies that have not elected to be taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are also generally disregarded as separate entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including for purposes of the REIT income and asset tests. Disregarded subsidiaries, along with any partnerships in which we hold an equity interest, are sometimes referred to herein as “pass-through subsidiaries.”

In the event that a disregarded subsidiary of ours ceases to be wholly owned—for example, if any equity interest in the subsidiary is acquired by a person other than us or another disregarded subsidiary of ours—the subsidiary’s separate existence would no longer be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, the subsidiary would have multiple owners and would be treated as either a partnership or a taxable corporation. Such an event could, depending on the circumstances, adversely affect our ability to satisfy the various asset and gross income requirements applicable to REITs, including the requirement that REITs generally may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the securities of another corporation. See “—Asset Tests” and “—Income Tests.”

33

Taxable REIT Subsidiaries. In general, we may jointly elect with a subsidiary corporation, whether or not wholly owned, to treat such subsidiary corporation as a TRS. We generally may not own more than 10% of the securities of a taxable corporation, as measured by voting power or value, unless we and such corporation elect to treat such corporation as a TRS. A TRS includes any entity treated as a corporation (other than a REIT) with respect to which another TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. The separate existence of a TRS or other taxable corporation is not ignored for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation generally is subject to corporate income tax on its earnings, which may reduce the cash flow that we and our subsidiaries generate in the aggregate, and may reduce our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We are not treated as holding the assets of a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation or as receiving any income that the subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock issued by a taxable subsidiary corporation to us is an asset in our hands, and we treat the dividends paid to us from such taxable subsidiary corporation, if any, as income. This treatment can affect our income and asset test calculations, as described below. Because we do not include the assets and income of TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations on a look-through basis in determining our compliance with the REIT requirements, we may use such entities to undertake indirectly activities that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude us from doing directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. For example, we may use TRSs or other taxable subsidiary corporations to perform services or conduct activities that give rise to certain categories of income or to conduct activities that, if conducted by us directly, would be treated in our hands as prohibited transactions.

The rules impose a 100% excise tax on transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT or the REIT’s customers that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis, including interest payments from a TRS to its parent REIT. We intend that all of our transactions with our TRSs, if any, will be conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

Interest Deduction Limitations

Section 163(j) of the Code limits the deductibility of net interest expense paid or accrued on debt properly allocable to a trade or business to 30% of “adjusted taxable income,” subject to certain exceptions (the “30% Limitation”). Any deduction in excess of the 30% Limitation is carried forward and may be used in a subsequent year, subject to the 30% Limitation. Adjusted taxable income is determined without regard to certain deductions, including those for net interest expense, net operating loss carryforwards and, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2022, depreciation, amortization and depletion. Provided the taxpayer makes a timely election (which is irrevocable), the 30% Limitation does not apply to a trade or business involving real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, rental, operation, acquisition, conversion, disposition, management, leasing or brokerage. If we make this election, we must use a generally less favorable depreciation system under the Code for our real property (including certain improvements). If we do not make the election or if the election is determined not to be available with respect to all or certain of our business activities, the 30% Limitation could change the amount of REIT taxable income we have and thus change the amount of distributions we must make to comply with the REIT requirements and avoid incurring corporate level tax.

Income Tests

In order to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income requirements on an annual basis. First, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year, excluding gross income from sales of inventory or dealer property in “prohibited transactions,” discharge of indebtedness and certain hedging transactions, generally must be derived from “rents from real property,” gains from the sale of real property, mortgages on real property, and shares in other REITs, interest income derived from mortgage loans secured by real property (including certain types of mortgage- backed securities), dividends received from other REITs, and specified income from temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of our gross income in each taxable year, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, discharge of indebtedness and certain hedging transactions, must be derived from some combination of income that qualifies under the 75% gross income test described above, as well as other dividends, interest, and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities, which need not have any relation to real property.

34

Rents from Real Property. Rents we receive from a customer will qualify as “rents from real property” for the purpose of satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if all of the conditions described below are met.

• The amount of rent is not based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount we receive or accrue generally will not be excluded from the term “rents from real property” solely because it is based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales;

• Neither we nor an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of our stock actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the interests in the assets or net profits of a noncorporate customer, or, if the customer is a corporation (but excluding any TRS), 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of stock of the customer. Rents we receive from such a customer that is a TRS of ours, however, will not be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” as a result of this condition if at least 90% of the space at the property to which the rents relate is leased to third parties, and the rents paid by the TRS are substantially comparable to rents paid by our other customers for comparable space. Whether rents paid by a TRS are substantially comparable to rents paid by other customers is determined at the time the lease with the TRS is entered into, extended, or modified, if such modification increases the rents due under such lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if a lease with a “controlled TRS” is modified and such modification results in an increase in the rents payable by such TRS, any such increase will not qualify as “rents from real property.” For purposes of this rule, a “controlled TRS” is a TRS in which the parent REIT owns stock possessing more than 50% of the voting power or more than 50% of the total value of the outstanding stock of such TRS;

• Rent attributable to personal property that is leased in connection with a lease of real property is not greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease. If this condition is not met, then the portion of the rent attributable to personal property will not qualify as “rents from real property”; and

• We generally do not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to our customers, subject to a 1% de minimis allowance. We are permitted, however, to perform directly certain services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant” of the property. Examples of these permitted services include the provision of electricity or other utilities, trash removal and general maintenance of common areas. In addition, we are permitted to employ an independent contractor from whom we derive no revenues, or a TRS, which may be wholly or partially owned by us, to provide non-customary services to our customers without causing the rent that we receive from those customers to fail to qualify as “rents from real property.”

We generally do not intend to receive rent that fails to satisfy any of the above conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may have taken and may continue to take actions which fail to satisfy one or more of the above conditions to the extent that we determine, based on the advice of REIT Tax Counsel, that those actions will not jeopardize our tax status as a REIT.

The value of our assets is primarily attributable to our outdoor advertising structure and sites. Billboards are generally located on sites leased through agreements with landowners. Billboard displays can be either static or digital and can come in a variety of forms, including freestanding billboard displays and displays on the exterior and roofs of buildings. Advertising displays may also be placed on the interior and exterior of rail and subway cars and buses, as well as on benches, trams, trains, transit shelters, urban panels (i.e., smaller-sized billboards located at transit entrances), street kiosks and transit platforms. We generally own the physical billboard structures on which our customers display advertising copy, hold the legal permits to display advertising thereon and lease the underlying sites. We estimate that approximately 75% of our billboard structures in the United States are “legal nonconforming” billboards, meaning they were legally constructed under laws in effect at the time they were built, but could not be constructed under current laws. These structures are often in areas where it is difficult or not permitted to build additional billboards under current laws, which enhances the value of our portfolio. We also hold exclusive multiyear contracts with municipalities and transit operators in many large cities, including Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and New York City, to operate advertising structures and sites within their transit systems. We will lease and sublease displays on our advertising structures and sites pursuant to advertising agreements.

35

Further, we or our affiliates will provide certain services to customers of our advertising structures and sites. Certain of our outdoor advertising assets described above are treated as real property for purposes of the REIT gross income tests, and therefore the rent payments received pursuant to the advertising agreements with respect to such assets are treated as rents from real property for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. We structure our provision of services to our customers in a manner that does not prevent our rental income from qualifying as “rents from real property.” We have received a private letter ruling from the IRS with respect to certain issues relevant to our qualification to be taxed as a REIT. The ruling provides, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, that amounts received by us pursuant to certain of our advertising agreements, including for certain services that we, independent contractors or TRSs may provide, directly or through subsidiaries, to our customers, will enable us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT. Although we may generally rely upon the ruling, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge our qualification to be taxed as a REIT on the basis of other issues or facts outside the scope of the ruling.

We intend to cause any services that are not “usually or customarily rendered,” or that are for the benefit of a particular customer in connection with the rental of real property, to be provided through a TRS or through an “independent contractor.” However, no assurance can be given that the IRS will concur with our determination as to whether a particular service is usual or customary, or otherwise in this regard.

Interest Income. Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% gross income test (as described above) to the extent that the obligation upon which such interest is paid is secured by a mortgage on real property or on an interest in real property. If we receive interest income with respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income will generally be apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property. In certain cases, personal property collateral securing a loan that we hold may be treated as real property for purposes of the foregoing rules. Even if a loan is not secured by real property, or is undersecured, the income that it generates may nonetheless qualify for purposes of the 95% gross income test. For these purposes, the term “interest” generally does not include any amount received or accrued, directly or indirectly, if the determination of all or some of the amount depends in any way on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term “interest” solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales.

Dividend Income. We may directly or indirectly receive distributions from TRSs or other corporations that are not REITs or qualified REIT subsidiaries. These distributions generally are treated as dividend income to the extent of the earnings and profits of the distributing corporation. Such distributions will generally constitute qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, but not for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Any dividends that we receive from another REIT, however, will be qualifying income for purposes of both the 95% and 75% gross income tests.

Fee Income. Any fee income that we earn will generally not be qualifying income for purposes of either gross income test. Any fees earned by a TRS, however, will not be included for purposes of our gross income tests.

Hedging Transactions. Any income or gain that we or our pass-through subsidiaries derive from instruments that hedge certain specified risks, such as the risk of changes in interest rates, will be excluded from gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests, provided that specified requirements are met, including the requirement that the instrument is entered into during the ordinary course of our business and that the instrument be properly identified as a hedge along with the risk that it hedges within prescribed time periods. Income and gain from all other hedging transactions will not be qualifying income for either the 95% or 75% gross income test.

Failure to Satisfy the Gross Income Tests. If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may still qualify to be taxed as a REIT for such year if we are entitled to relief under applicable provisions of the Code. These relief provisions will be generally available if (i) our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and (ii) following our identification of the failure to meet the 75% or 95% gross income test for any taxable year, we file a schedule with the IRS setting forth each item of our gross income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income test for such taxable year in

36

accordance with Treasury regulations, which have not yet been issued. It is not possible to state whether we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions in all circumstances. If these relief provisions are inapplicable to a particular set of circumstances, we will not qualify to be taxed as a REIT. Even if these relief provisions apply, and we retain our status as a REIT, we will be required to pay a tax equal to (1) the greater of (A) the amount by which we fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test and (B) the amount by which we fail to satisfy the 95% gross income test, multiplied by (2) a fraction intended to reflect our profitability (i.e., generally our REIT taxable income divided by our gross income). We may not always be able to comply with the gross income tests for REIT qualification despite periodic monitoring of our income.

Asset Tests

At the close of each calendar quarter, we must also satisfy five tests relating to the nature of our assets. First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by some combination of “real estate assets,” cash, cash items, U.S. government securities, and, under some circumstances, stock or debt instruments purchased with new capital. For this purpose, real estate assets include interests in real property (and certain ancillary personal property), stock of other corporations that qualify as REITs, some kinds of mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and debt instruments (whether or not secured by real property) that are issued by a “publicly offered REIT” (i.e., a REIT that is required to file annual and periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act). Assets that do not qualify for purposes of the 75% asset test are subject to the additional asset tests described below.

Second, the value of any one issuer’s securities that we own may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets.

Third, we may not own more than 10% of any one issuer’s outstanding securities, as measured by either voting power or value. The 5% and 10% asset tests do not apply to securities of TRSs and qualified REIT subsidiaries, and the 10% value test does not apply to “straight debt” having specified characteristics and to certain other securities described below. Solely for purposes of the 10% value test, the determination of our interest in the assets of a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest will be based on our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership or limited liability company, excluding for this purpose certain securities described in the Code.

Fourth, the aggregate value of all securities of TRSs that we hold, may not exceed 20% of the value of our total assets.

Fifth, no more than 25% of the total value of our assets may be represented by “nonqualified publicly offered REIT debt instruments” (i.e., real estate assets that would cease to be real estate assets if debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs were not included in the definition of real estate assets).

Notwithstanding the general rule, as noted above, that for purposes of the REIT income and asset tests we are treated as owning our proportionate share of the underlying assets of a subsidiary partnership, if we hold indebtedness issued by a partnership, the indebtedness will be subject to, and may cause a violation of, the asset tests unless the indebtedness is a qualifying mortgage asset or other conditions are met. Similarly, although stock of a non-publicly offered REIT is a qualifying asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests, any non-mortgage debt that is issued by another REIT may not so qualify (although such debt will not be treated as “securities” for purposes of the 10% value test, as explained below).

Certain securities will not cause a violation of the 10% value test described above. Such securities include instruments that constitute “straight debt,” which term generally excludes, among other things, securities having contingency features. A security does not qualify as “straight debt” where a REIT (or a controlled TRS of the REIT) owns other securities of the same issuer which do not qualify as straight debt, unless the value of those other securities constitute, in the aggregate, 1% or less of the total value of that issuer’s outstanding securities. In addition to straight debt, the Code provides that certain other securities will not violate the 10% value test. Such securities include (i) any loan made to an individual or an estate, (ii) certain rental agreements pursuant to which one or more payments are to be made in subsequent years (other than agreements between a REIT and certain persons related to the REIT under attribution rules), (iii) any obligation to pay rents from real property, (iv) securities issued by governmental entities that are not dependent in whole or in part on the profits of (or payments made by) a nongovernmental entity, (v) any security (including debt securities) issued by another REIT and (vi) any debt instrument issued by a partnership if the partnership’s income is of a nature that it would satisfy the 75% gross income test described above under “—Income Tests.” In applying the 10% value test, a

37

debt security issued by a partnership is not taken into account to the extent, if any, of the REIT’s proportionate interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by that partnership.

No independent appraisals have been obtained to support our conclusions as to the value of our total assets or the value of any particular security or securities. Moreover, the values of some assets may not be susceptible to a precise determination, and values are subject to change in the future. Furthermore, the proper classification of an instrument as debt or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be uncertain in some circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT asset requirements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not contend that our interests in our subsidiaries or in the securities of other issuers will not cause a violation of the REIT asset tests.

However, certain relief provisions are available to allow REITs to satisfy the asset requirements or to maintain REIT qualification notwithstanding certain violations of the asset tests and other requirements. For example, if we should fail to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a calendar quarter such a failure would not cause us to lose our REIT qualification if (i) we satisfied the asset tests at the close of the preceding calendar quarter and (ii) the discrepancy between the value of our assets and the asset requirements was not wholly or partly caused by an acquisition of non-qualifying assets, but instead arose from changes in the relative market values of our assets. If the condition described in (ii) was not satisfied, we still could avoid disqualification by eliminating any discrepancy within 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter in which it arose or by making use of the relief provisions described above.

In the case of de minimis violations of the 10% and 5% asset tests, a REIT may maintain its qualification despite a violation of such requirements if (i) the value of the assets causing the violation does not exceed the lesser of 1% of the REIT’s total assets and $10,000,000 and (ii) the REIT either disposes of the assets causing the failure within six months after the last day of the quarter in which it identifies the failure, or the relevant tests are otherwise satisfied within that time frame.

Even if we did not qualify for the foregoing relief provisions, one additional provision allows a REIT that fails one or more of the asset tests to nevertheless maintain its REIT qualification if (i) the REIT provides the IRS with a description of each asset causing the failure, (ii) the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, (iii) the REIT pays a tax equal to the greater of (a) $50,000 per failure and (b) the product of the net income generated by the assets that caused the failure multiplied by the highest applicable corporate tax rate and (iv) the REIT either disposes of the assets causing the failure within six months after the last day of the quarter in which it identifies the failure, or otherwise satisfies the relevant asset tests within that time frame.

Annual Distribution Requirements

In order to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, we are required to annually distribute dividends, other than capital gain dividends, to our stockholders in an amount at least equal to:

(i)
the sum of

(a)
90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to our net capital gains and the deduction for dividends paid; and

(b)
90% of our after tax net income, if any, from foreclosure property (as described below); minus

(ii)
the excess of the sum of specified items of non-cash income over 5% of our REIT taxable income.

For these purposes, our “REIT taxable income” is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain. In addition, for purposes of this test, non-cash income means income attributable to leveling of stepped rents, original issue discount on purchase money debt, cancellation of indebtedness, and any like-kind exchanges that are later determined to be taxable.

In addition, if we dispose of any asset we acquired from a corporation that is or has been a C corporation in a transaction in which our basis in the asset is determined by reference to the basis of the asset in the hands of that C corporation, within the five-year period following our acquisition of such asset, we would be required to distribute at least 90% of the after-tax gain, if any, we recognized on the disposition of the asset.

We generally must make dividend distributions in the taxable year to which they relate. Dividend distributions may be made in the following year in two circumstances. First, if we declare a dividend in October, November, or December of any year with a record date in one of these months and pay the dividend on or before

38

January 31 of the following year, such distributions are treated as both paid by us and received by each stockholder on December 31 of the year in which they are declared. Second, distributions may be made in the following year if they are declared before we timely file our tax return for the year and if made with or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration. These distributions are taxable to our stockholders in the year in which paid, even though the distributions relate to our prior taxable year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement.

For any year in which we do not qualify as a “publicly offered REIT” within the meaning of the Code, in order for such distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is (i) pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class and (ii) in accordance with any preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents.

To the extent that we do not distribute all our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be subject to tax at ordinary corporate tax rates on the retained portion. We may elect to retain, rather than distribute, some or all of our net long-term capital gains and pay tax on such gains. In this case, we could elect for our stockholders to include their proportionate shares of such undistributed long-term capital gains in income, and to receive a corresponding credit for their share of the tax that we paid. Our stockholders would then increase the adjusted basis of their stock by the difference between (i) the amounts of capital gain dividends that we designated and that they include in their taxable income, minus (ii) the tax that we paid on their behalf with respect to that income.

To the extent that in the future we may have available net operating losses carried forward from prior tax years, such losses may reduce the amount of distributions that we must make in order to comply with the REIT distribution requirements. Such losses, however, will generally not affect the character, in the hands of our stockholders, of any distributions that are actually made as ordinary dividends or capital gains. See “—Taxation of Stockholders—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders” and “—Taxation of Stockholders—Distributions.”

If we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of our capital gain net income for such year and (iii) any undistributed net taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (a) the amounts actually distributed, plus (b) the amounts of income we retained and on which we have paid corporate income tax.

In an acquisition of a C corporation in a transaction in which the basis of the corporation’s assets in our hands is determined by reference to the basis of the assets in the hands of the acquired corporation (a “Carry-Over Basis Transaction”), we may succeed to the tax liabilities and earnings and profits of the acquired C corporation. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute any such earnings and profits by the close of the taxable year in which the transaction occurs. Any adjustments to the acquired corporation’s income for taxable years ending on or before the date of the transaction, including as a result of an examination of the corporation’s tax returns by the IRS, could affect the calculation of the corporation’s earnings and profits. If the IRS were to determine that we acquired earnings and profits from a corporation that we failed to distribute prior to the end of the taxable year in which the Carry-Over Basis Transaction occurred, we could avoid disqualification as a REIT by using “deficiency dividend” procedures. Under these procedures, we generally would be required to distribute any such earnings and profits to our stockholders within 90 days of the determination and pay a statutory interest charge at a specified rate to the IRS.

We expect that our REIT taxable income will be less than our cash flows because of depreciation and other noncash charges included in computing REIT taxable income. Accordingly, we anticipate that we generally will have sufficient cash or liquid assets to enable us to satisfy the distribution requirements described above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in determining our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt, acquire assets, or for other reasons. If these timing differences occur, we may sell assets, borrow funds to pay dividends, or pay dividends through the distribution of other property (including shares of our stock) in order to meet the distribution requirements while preserving our cash. Alternatively, we may declare a taxable dividend payable in cash or

39

stock at the election of each stockholder, where the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed in such dividend may be subject to limitation. In such case, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

If our taxable income for a particular year is subsequently determined to have been understated, we may be able to rectify a resultant failure to meet the distribution requirements for a year by paying “deficiency dividends” to stockholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In this case, we may be able to avoid losing REIT qualification or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, subject to the 4% excise tax described above. We will be required to pay interest based on the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

Prohibited Transactions

Net income that we derive from a prohibited transaction is subject to a 100% tax. The term “prohibited transaction” generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (other than foreclosure property, as discussed below) that is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We intend to conduct our operations so that no asset that we own (or are treated as owning) will be treated as, or as having been, held as inventory or for sale to customers, and that a sale of any such asset will not be treated as having been in the ordinary course of our business. Whether property is held as inventory or “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends on the particular facts and circumstances. No assurance can be given that any property that we sell will not be treated as inventory or property held for sale to customers, or that we can comply with certain safe-harbor provisions of the Code that would prevent such treatment. The 100% tax does not apply to gains from the sale of property that is held through a TRS or other taxable corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the hands of the corporation at regular corporate rates. We intend to structure our activities to avoid prohibited transaction characterization.

Like-Kind Exchanges

We may dispose of properties in transactions intended to qualify as like-kind exchanges under the Code. Such like-kind exchanges are intended to result in the deferral of gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The failure of any such transaction to qualify as a like-kind exchange could require us to pay U.S. federal income tax, possibly including the 100% prohibited transaction tax, depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction.

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions

We may enter into hedging transactions, including with respect to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate exposure on one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as swap contracts, cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts and options. Income from a hedging transaction (including gain from the sale, disposition, or termination of a position in such a transaction) generally will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests if we properly identify the transaction as specified in applicable Treasury regulations and we enter into such transaction (i) in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of interest rate changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred, to acquire or carry real estate assets; (ii) primarily to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the 75% or 95% income tests; or (iii) in connection with the extinguishment of indebtedness with respect to which we have entered into a qualified hedging position described in clause (i) or the disposition of property with respect to which we have entered into a qualified hedging position described in clause (ii), primarily to manage the risks of such hedging positions. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Moreover, to the extent that a position in a hedging transaction has positive value at any particular point in time, it may be treated as an asset that does not qualify for purposes of the REIT asset tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our qualification to be taxed as a REIT. We may conduct some or all of our hedging activities (including hedging activities relating to currency risk) through a TRS or other corporate entity, the income from which may be subject to U.S. federal income tax,

40

rather than by participating in the arrangements directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. No assurance can be given, however, that our hedging activities will not give rise to income or assets that do not qualify for purposes of the REIT tests, or that our hedging activities will not adversely affect our ability to satisfy the REIT qualification requirements.

Foreclosure Property

Foreclosure property is real property and any personal property incident to such real property (i) that we acquire as the result of having bid in the property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced the property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after a default (or upon imminent default) on a lease of the property or a mortgage loan held by us and secured by the property, (ii) for which we acquired the related loan or lease at a time when default was not imminent or anticipated and (iii) with respect to which we made a proper election to treat the property as foreclosure property. We generally will be subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate on any net income from foreclosure property, including any gain from the disposition of the foreclosure property, other than income that would otherwise be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Any gain from the sale of property for which a foreclosure property election has been made will not be subject to the 100% tax on gains from prohibited transactions described above, even if the property would otherwise constitute inventory or dealer property. We do not anticipate receiving any income from foreclosure property that does not qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test.

Penalty Tax

Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest, or redetermined TRS service income that we or our TRSs generate will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our customers by a TRS, redetermined deductions and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a TRS for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm’s-length negotiations, and redetermined TRS service income is income of a TRS attributable to services provided to, or on behalf of, us (other than services furnished or rendered to a customer of ours) to the extent such income is lower than the income the TRS would have earned based on arm’s length negotiations. Rents that we receive will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions contained in the Code.

From time to time, our TRSs may provide services to our customers. We intend to set the fees paid to our TRSs for such services at arm’s-length rates, although the fees paid may not satisfy the safe-harbor provisions described above. These determinations are inherently factual, and the IRS has broad discretion to assert that amounts paid between related parties should be reallocated to clearly reflect their respective incomes. If the IRS successfully made such an assertion, we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on the excess of an arm’s-length fee for customer services over the amount actually paid.

Failure to Qualify

If we fail to satisfy one or more requirements for REIT qualification other than the income or asset tests, we could avoid disqualification as a REIT if our failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect and we pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure. Relief provisions are also available for failures of the income tests and asset tests, as described above in “—Income Tests” and “—Asset Tests.”

If we failed or fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions described above do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We cannot deduct distributions to stockholders in any year in which we are not a REIT, nor would we be required to make distributions in such a year. In this situation, to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions to stockholders will be taxable as regular corporate dividends. Such dividends paid to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates may be taxable at the preferential income tax rates for qualified dividends. In addition, subject to the limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we will also be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lose our qualification. It is not possible to state whether, in all circumstances, we will be entitled to this statutory relief.

Taxation of Stockholders

Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our stock by taxable U.S. Holders. A “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, or of any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

• a trust if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. An investor that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to their ownership and disposition of our common stock.

Distributions

So long as we qualify as a REIT, the distributions that we make to our taxable U.S. Holders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits that we do not designate as capital gain dividends will generally be taken into account by such stockholders as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. With limited exceptions, our dividends are not eligible for taxation at the preferential income tax rates for qualified dividends received by most U.S. Holders that are individuals, trusts or estates from taxable C corporations. Such stockholders are taxed at the preferential rates on dividends designated by and received from us to the extent that the dividends are attributable to:

• income retained by us in the prior taxable year on which we were subject to corporate level income tax (less the amount of tax);

• dividends received by us from other REITs (if designated by such REITs as qualified dividends), TRSs or other taxable C corporations; or

• income in the prior taxable year from sales of “built-in gain” property acquired by us from C corporations in carryover basis transactions (less the amount of corporate tax on such income).

However, for taxable years that begin before January 1, 2026, U.S. Holders that are individuals, trusts or estates are generally entitled to a deduction equal to 20% of the aggregate amount of ordinary income dividends received from a REIT (not including dividends eligible for the preferential rates applicable to qualified dividends as described above), subject to certain limitations.

Distributions that we designate as capital gain dividends will generally be taxed to our U.S. Holders as long-term capital gains, to the extent that such distributions do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which the stockholder that receives such distribution has held its stock. We may elect to retain and pay taxes on some or all of our net long-term capital gains, in which case our U.S. Holders will be treated as having received, solely for tax purposes, our undistributed capital gains, and such stockholders will receive a corresponding credit for their proportionate part of the taxes that we paid on such undistributed capital gains. See “—Taxation of OUTFRONT Media Inc.—Annual Distribution Requirements.” Corporate stockholders may be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are generally taxable at reduced maximum U.S. federal rates in the case of U.S. Holders that are

42

individuals, trusts or estates, and ordinary income rates in the case of U.S. Holders that are corporations. Capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property held for more than twelve months are subject to a 25% maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for taxpayers who are taxed as individuals, to the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will generally represent a return of capital and will not be taxable to a stockholder to the extent that the amount of such distributions does not exceed the adjusted basis of the stockholder’s shares in respect of which the distributions were made. Rather, the distribution will reduce the adjusted basis of the stockholder’s shares. To the extent that such distributions exceed the adjusted basis of a stockholder’s shares, the stockholder generally must include such distributions in income as long-term capital gain if the shares have been held for more than one year, or short-term capital gain if the shares have been held for one year or less. In addition, any dividend that we declare in October, November or December of any year and that is payable to a stockholder of record on a specified date in any such month will be treated as both paid by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of such year, provided that we actually pay the dividend before January 31 of the following calendar year.

To the extent that we have available net operating losses and capital losses carried forward from prior tax years, such losses may reduce the amount of distributions that we must make in order to comply with the REIT distribution requirements. See “—Taxation of OUTFRONT Media Inc.—Annual Distribution Requirements.” Such losses, however, are not passed through to stockholders and do not offset income of stockholders from other sources, nor would such losses affect the character of any distributions that we make, which are generally subject to tax in the hands of stockholders to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits.

Dispositions of Our Stock. If a U.S. Holder sells or disposes of shares of our stock, the stockholder will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition and the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of stock. In general, capital gains recognized by individuals, trusts or estates upon the sale or disposition of our stock will be subject to reduced maximum U.S. federal income tax rates if the stock is held for more than one year, and will be taxed at ordinary income rates if the stock is held for one year or less. Gains recognized by stockholders that are corporations are subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income rates, whether or not such gains are classified as long-term capital gains. Capital losses recognized by a stockholder upon the disposition of our stock that was held for more than one year at the time of disposition will be considered long-term capital losses, and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the stockholder but not ordinary income (except in the case of individuals, who may also offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year). In addition, any loss upon a sale or exchange of shares of our stock by a stockholder who has held the shares for six months or less, after applying holding period rules, will be treated as a long- term capital loss to the extent of actual or deemed distributions that we make that are required to be treated by the stockholder as long-term capital gain.

Passive Activity Losses and Investment Interest Limitations. Distributions that we make and gains arising from the sale or exchange by a U.S. Holder of our stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a result, stockholders will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against income or gain relating to our stock. To the extent that distributions we make do not constitute a return of capital, they will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our stock by non-U.S. Holders. A “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer other than a partnership or U.S. Holder.

Ordinary Dividends. The portion of dividends received by non-U.S. Holders that (i) is payable out of our earnings and profits, (ii) is not attributable to capital gains that we recognize and (iii) is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder, will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless reduced or eliminated by treaty.

In general, non-U.S. Holders will not be considered to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business solely as a result of their ownership of our stock. In cases where the dividend income from a non-U.S. Holder’s investment in our stock is, or is treated as, effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business,

43

the non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. Holders are taxed with respect to such dividends. Such effectively connected income must generally be reported on a U.S. income tax return filed by or on behalf of the non-U.S. Holder. The income may also be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30% (unless reduced or eliminated by treaty) in the case of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

Non-Dividend Distributions. Unless our stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest (a “USRPI”), distributions that we make which are not dividends out of our earnings and profits will not be subject to U.S. income tax. For withholding purposes, we expect to treat all distributions as made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. As a result, except with respect to certain distributions attributable to the sale of USRPIs described below, we expect to withhold U.S. income tax at the rate of 30% on any distributions made to a non-U.S. Holder unless, (i) a lower treaty rate applies and the non-U.S. Holder files with us an IRS Form W-8BEN or an IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an appropriate successor form) evidencing eligibility for that reduced treaty rate; or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder files an IRS Form W-8ECI with us claiming that the distribution is income effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s trade or business (and, in the case of certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.). The non-U.S. Holder may seek a refund from the IRS of any amounts withheld if it is subsequently determined that the distribution was, in fact, in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

If our stock constitutes a USRPI, as described below, distributions that we make in excess of the sum of (i) the stockholder’s proportionate share of our earnings and profits, plus (ii) the stockholder’s basis in its stock, will be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of our stock and, unless certain exceptions described below apply, be taxed under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 or FIRPTA, at the rate of tax, including any applicable capital gains rates, that would apply to a U.S. Holder of the same type (e.g., an individual or a corporation, as the case may be), and the collection of the tax may be enforced by a withholding at a rate of 15% of the amount by which the distribution exceeds the stockholder’s share of our earnings and profits.

Capital Gain Dividends. Under FIRPTA, a distribution that we make to a non-U.S. Holder, to the extent attributable to gains from dispositions of USRPIs that we held directly or through pass-through subsidiaries, or USRPI capital gains, will, except as described below, be considered effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder and will be subject to U.S. income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. individuals or corporations, without regard to whether we designate the distribution as a capital gain dividend. See “—Ordinary Dividends,” for a discussion of the consequences of income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. In addition, we will be required to withhold tax equal to the highest corporate tax rate applied to the maximum amount that could have been designated as USRPI capital gain dividends. Distributions subject to FIRPTA may also be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30% (unless reduced or eliminated by treaty) in the hands of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

A distribution is not attributable to USRPI capital gain if we held an interest in the underlying asset solely as a creditor or if the underlying asset is not a USRPI. Capital gain dividends received by a non-U.S. Holder that are attributable to dispositions of our assets other than USRPIs are not subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. trade or business, in which case the non-U.S. Holder would be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Holders with respect to such gain, except that a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at the rate of 30% (unless reduced or eliminated by treaty) or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other requirements are met in the United States, in which case the non-U.S. Holder will incur a 30% tax on such stockholder’s capital gains. We expect that a significant portion of our assets will be USRPIs.

A capital gain dividend that would otherwise have been treated as a USRPI capital gain distribution will not be so treated or be subject to FIRPTA, and generally will not be treated as income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, but instead will be treated in the same manner as an ordinary dividend (see “—Ordinary Dividends”), if (i) the capital gain dividend is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States and (ii) the recipient non-U.S. Holder does not own more than 10% of that class of stock at any time during the year ending on the date on which the capital gain dividend is received. We anticipate that our common stock will be “regularly traded” on an established securities exchange.

44

Dispositions of Our Stock. Unless our stock constitutes a USRPI, a sale of our stock by a non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. taxation. Subject to certain exceptions discussed below, our stock will be treated as a USRPI if 50% or more of our assets throughout a prescribed testing period consist of interests in real property located within the United States, excluding, for this purpose, interests in real property solely in a capacity as a creditor. We expect that 50% or more of our assets will consist of USRPIs.

Even if the foregoing 50% test is met, however, our stock will not constitute a USRPI if we are a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity.” A domestically controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT, less than 50% of the value of which is held, directly or indirectly, by non-U.S. Holders at all times during a specified testing period (after applying certain presumptions regarding the ownership of our stock, as described in the Code). Our charter contains restrictions designed to protect our status as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity,” and we believe that we will be and will remain a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, and that a sale of our stock should not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, no assurance can be given that we will be or will remain a domestically controlled qualified investment entity.

In the event that we are not a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, but our stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury regulations, on an established securities market, a non-U.S. Holder’s sale of our common stock nonetheless would not be subject to tax under FIRPTA as a sale of a USRPI, provided that the selling non-U.S. Holder held 10% or less of our outstanding common stock at any time during a prescribed testing period. We expect that our common stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market.

If gain on the sale of our stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the non-U.S. Holder would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return and would be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Holder with respect to such gain, subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and applicable special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals. Moreover, in order to enforce the collection of the tax, the purchaser of the stock could be required to withhold 15% of the purchase price and remit such amount to the IRS.

Gain from the sale of our stock that would not otherwise be subject to FIRPTA will nonetheless be taxable in the United States to a non-U.S. Holder in two cases: (i) if the non-U.S. Holder’s investment in our stock is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such non-U.S. Holder, the non-U.S. Holder will be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Holder with respect to such gain, except that a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (unless reduced or eliminated by treaty) or (ii) if the non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other requirements are met in the United States, the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual’s capital gain. In addition, even if we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, upon disposition of our stock (subject to the 10% exception applicable to “regularly traded” stock described above), a non-U.S. Holder may be treated as having gain from the sale or exchange of a USRPI if the non-U.S. Holder (a) disposes of our common stock within a 30-day period preceding the ex-dividend date of a distribution, any portion of which, but for the disposition, would have been treated as gain from the sale or exchange of a USRPI and (b) acquires, or enters into a contract or option to acquire, other shares of our common stock within 30 days after such ex-dividend date.

Special FIRPTA Rules. Certain provisions under FIRPTA create certain exemptions from FIRPTA and otherwise modify the application of the foregoing FIRPTA rules for particular types of non-U.S. investors, including “qualified foreign pension funds” and their wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and certain widely held, publicly traded “qualified collective investment vehicles.”

Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax considerations applicable to owning and disposing of our stock.

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders

Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from U.S. federal income taxation. However, they may be subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”). While some investments in real estate may generate UBTI, the IRS has ruled that dividend distributions from a REIT to a tax-exempt entity do not constitute UBTI. Based on that ruling, and provided that (i) a tax-exempt stockholder has not held our stock as “debt financed property” within the meaning of the Code (i.e., where the acquisition or holding of the property is financed through a

45

borrowing by the tax-exempt stockholder) and (ii) our stock is not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or business, distributions that we make and income from the sale of our stock generally should not give rise to UBTI to a tax-exempt stockholder.

Tax-exempt stockholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services plans exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9) and (c)(17) of the Code are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally require such stockholders to characterize distributions that we make as UBTI.

In certain circumstances, a pension trust that owns more than 10% of our stock could be required to treat a percentage of any dividends received from us as UBTI if we are a “pension-held REIT.” We will not be a pension-held REIT unless (i) we are required to “look through” one or more of our pension trust stockholders in order to satisfy the REIT “closely held” test and (ii) either (a) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of our stock or (b) one or more pension trusts, each individually holding more than 10% of the value of our stock, collectively own more than 50% of the value of our stock. Certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock generally should prevent a tax-exempt entity from owning more than 10% of the value of our stock and generally should prevent us from becoming a pension-held REIT.

Tax-exempt stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax considerations applicable to owning and disposing of our stock.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders of Debt Securities of an Applicable Issuer

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to non-U.S. Holders of debt securities issued by an applicable issuer, and assumes the non-U.S. Holder acquires fixed rate debt securities issued without original issue discount in their initial offering and at their issue price.

Taxation of Interest

A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on interest paid or accrued on a debt security if the interest is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (or, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States), provided that the non-U.S. Holder:

(1)
does not actually or constructively, directly or indirectly, own 10% or more of our voting stock;

(2)
is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us (directly or indirectly) through stock ownership; and

(3)
certifies, under penalties of perjury, to the applicable withholding agent on IRS Form W-BEN or W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form) that it is not a U.S. person and that no withholding is required pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (discussed below) and provides its name, address, and certain other required information.

A non-U.S. Holder that cannot satisfy the above requirements will generally be exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to interest paid on the debt securities if the holder establishes that such interest is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, the interest paid or accrued on a debt security is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States), generally, by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI. However, to the extent that such interest is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States), the non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis and, if it is a foreign corporation, may be subject to a 30% U.S. branch profits tax (or lower applicable treaty rate).

If a non-U.S. Holder does not satisfy the requirements described above, and does not establish that the interest is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base within the United States), the non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on payments of interest, currently imposed at 30%. Under certain tax treaties, the U.S. withholding rate on payments of interest may be reduced or eliminated, provided the non-U.S. Holder complies with the applicable certification requirements (generally, by providing a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E).

46

Disposition

Any gain realized by a non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of a debt security will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

• the non-U.S. Holder holds a debt security in connection with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed based within the United States); or

• the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied.

If the first exception applies, the non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis and, if it is a foreign corporation, may be subject to a U.S. branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate). If the second exception applies, the non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the amount by which capital gains allocable to U.S. sources (including gains from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the debt securities) exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources.

Proceeds from the disposition of a debt security that are attributable to accrued but unpaid interest will generally be subject to, or exempt from, U.S. federal income and withholding tax to the same extent as described above with respect to interest paid on a debt security.

Other Tax Considerations

Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs may be modified, possibly with retroactive effect, by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time. The REIT rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury, which review may result in statutory changes as well as revisions to regulations and interpretations. Changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could adversely affect an investment in our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer.

Medicare 3.8% Tax on Investment Income

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare tax on dividends and certain other investment income, including capital gains from the sale or other disposition of our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Withholding at a rate of 30% generally will be required on dividends and payments of interest in respect of debt securities of the applicable issuer held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution (i) enters into and complies with an agreement with the Treasury to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in the institution held by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) complies with the terms of an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends and payments of interest in respect of debt securities of the applicable issuer held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions generally will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to us that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which we or the applicable withholding agent will in turn provide to the Secretary of the Treasury. An intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, or future Treasury regulations or other guidance, may modify these requirements. We will not pay any additional amounts to stockholders or holders of debt securities of the applicable issuer in respect of any amounts withheld. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these rules on their investment in our common stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer.

47

State, Local and Foreign Taxes

We and our subsidiaries and stockholders and debtholders of the applicable issuer may be subject to state, local or foreign taxation in various jurisdictions including those in which we or they transact business, own property or reside. Our state, local or foreign tax treatment and that of our stockholders and debtholders of the applicable issuer may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax treatment discussed above. Any foreign taxes that we incur do not pass through to stockholders or debtholders of the applicable issuer as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application and effect of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws on an investment in our stock or debt securities of the applicable issuer.

48

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer and sell the securities in and outside the United States:

• through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

• directly to purchasers, including our stockholders or through a specific bidding, auction or other process;

• in a rights offering;

• in “at the market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise;

• through agents; or

• through a combination of any of these methods.

The prospectus supplement will include the following information:

• the terms of the offering;

• the names of any underwriters or agents;

• the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;

• the purchase price or initial public offering price of the securities;

• the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;

• any delayed delivery arrangements;

• any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

• any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;

• any commissions paid to agents; and

• any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting agreement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.

49

Some or all of the securities that we offer though this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell our securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.

If dealers are used in the sale of securities, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at fixed prices or at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. We will include in the prospectus supplement the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

We may sell the securities directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may also sell the securities through agents designated from time to time. In the prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any sales of these securities in the prospectus supplement.

Remarketing Arrangements

The securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If we so indicate in the prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

Derivative Transactions and Hedging

We, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities.

General Information

We may have agreements with the agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the agents, dealers, underwriters or remarketing firms may be required to make. Agents, dealers, underwriters and remarketing firms may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.
