Preferred Offering
On November 8, 2019, Cottonwood Communities, Inc. (the "Company") launched a best-efforts private placement offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act pursuant to which it initially offered a maximum of $50,000,000 in shares of its Series 2019 Preferred Stock to accredited investors (the "Private Offering") at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers). On March 23, 2021, our board of directors approved an increase in the size of the offering to $100,000,000. The exemption is available to the Company because the shares are being offered and sold solely to accredited investors without the use of general solicitation.
During the period from April 28, 2021 through May 16, 2021, the Company issued and sold 454,742 shares of its Series 2019 Preferred Stock in the Private Offering and received aggregate proceeds of $4,544,864. In connection with the sale of these shares in the Private Offering, the Company paid aggregate selling commissions of $315,740 and placement fees of $86,352. As of May 16, 2021, there were 5,402,732 shares of the Company’s Series 2019 Preferred Stock outstanding.
