This Offering Circular was originally qualified on February 26, 2020, re-qualified on May 18, 2020 and on June 11, 2020, by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). This Offering Circular is being amended to change the terms of redemption of the Preferred Shares offered hereunder.

LEGION CAPITAL CORPORATION

Maximum combined offering of $40,000,000 consisting of Series A Corporate Bonds
and Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

Legion Capital Corporation (“Legion,” or the “Company”) is offering a combined maximum amount of $40,000,000 of Series A Corporate Bonds (“Bonds”) and Series A Redeemable Preferred Membership Units in Legion Capital Corporation (“Redeemable Preferred Stock” or “Shares”); provided, that, of the $40,000,000 combined maximum amount available for sale, (i) the maximum amount of Shares that may be sold hereunder shall not exceed $20,000,000, and (ii) the gross aggregate proceeds received in this offering for the sale of the Shares and the Bonds with 3-year maturities shall not exceed $37,500,000, on a “no minimum/best efforts” basis (the “Offering”). The Offering will continue terminate on the earlier of 12 months from the date this Offering Circular is re-qualified for sale by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (which date may be extended for an additional 90 days in our sole discretion) or the date when all Bonds and Shares have been sold. 

Sequence Financial Specialists LLC (the “Managing Broker Dealer”), a South Carolina corporation and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), has been engaged as the managing broker dealer for the Offering. The Managing Broker Dealer is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will use its “reasonable best efforts” to sell the securities offered.  

Series A Corporate Bonds 

The Bonds offered will carry 1 year, 2 year, and 3-year maturities with annual interest rates of 4.50%, 5.75%, and 6.50%, respectively. The purchase price per bond is $1,000, with a minimum investment amount of $10,000 per Bond term. Interest payments will be payable monthly on the 1^st of the month (or the next following business day thereafter in the event such date is not a business day with no additional interest accruing), following the first full month of an accepted subscription. Upon maturity, and subject to the terms and conditions described in this offering circular, the Bonds will be automatically renewed for identical terms unless redeemed upon maturity at our or your election. 

These Bonds are secured obligations of Legion, and will be secured by a first lien on a portfolio of real estate mortgage loans (“Loans”) to be made through use of the net proceeds of this Offering will be held and managed in a single purpose limited liability company, Legion Finance, LLC (“Finance”). Legion has established Finance for the purpose of originating, holding and managing the Loans, however, Legion is the issuer of the Bonds and of the Shares. 

Bondholders will have no right to put (that is, require us to redeem) any Bond prior to its maturity date unless in the case of a holder’s death, bankruptcy or total permanent disability, subject to notice, discounts and other provisions contained in this offering circular. See “Description of Bonds – Redemption Upon Death, Disability or Bankruptcy” and for more information. We do not intend to list our Bonds on any national securities exchange during the offering period, and we do not expect a secondary market in the Bonds to develop. As a result, you should not expect to be able to resell your Bonds regardless of how we perform. Accordingly, an investment in our Bonds is not suitable for investors that require liquidity in advance of their Bond’s maturity date. 

The Bonds will be offered to prospective investors on a best efforts basis by the Managing Broker Dealer. “Best efforts” means that our Managing Broker Dealer is not obligated to purchase any specific number or dollar amount of Bonds but will use its best efforts to sell the Bonds. Our Managing Broker Dealer may engage additional broker-dealers, sub-agents, or selling group members, who are members of FINRA to assist in the sale of the Bonds. 

Series A Redeemable Preferred Membership Units

The Series A Redeemable Preferred Membership Units in Legion (“Redeemable Preferred Stock” or “Shares”) will be offered to prospective investors on a best efforts basis through our Managing Broker Dealer. “Best efforts” means that our Managing Broker Dealer is not obligated to purchase any specific number or dollar amount of Shares but will use its best efforts to sell the Shares. Each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock will have an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”), subject to appropriate adjustment upon certain events such as recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, and reclassifications, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Shares will be offered and sold publicly at a price of $1,000 per share. The minimum investment amount of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock is $10,000. The Shares will not be certificated. The Shares rank senior to any issued or unissued common stock or membership units of Finance with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of amounts upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and structurally junior to our Series A Corporate Bonds. Holders of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock will have no voting rights.

Holders of Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock at a per annum rate of 7.50% of the Stated Value of such share. Dividends are payable in monthly installments on the first day of each month (or the next following business day thereafter in the event such date is not a business day with no additional interest accruing). Dividends on each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock will begin accruing on, and will be cumulative from, the first day of the month following the month in which the subscription for the Shares was completed and accepted by Legion (the “date of issuance”) and regardless of whether our Board of Directors declares and pays such dividends.

The offering price of the Bonds and Shares has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bears no relationship to our assets, book value, potential earnings, net worth or any other recognized criteria of value

We intend to sell Bonds and Shares, respectively, either through Depository Trust Company, or “DTC,” settlement or through direct settlement (via subscription agreement) with the Company. See the section entitled “Subscription Procedures” for additional information.

We expect to commence the sale of the Bonds and Shares, respectively, as of the date on which the offering statement is re-qualified by the SEC. There is no minimum amount of Bonds or Shares, respectively, that must be sold before we can close this offering and use any proceeds. Because there is no minimum offering amount, funds raised may not be sufficient to complete the plans of the Company as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Description of Capital” for a description of our capital stock.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for so long as we are an emerging growth company, are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to:

We may remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as the fiscal year-end following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, though we may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances, including if (a) we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue in any fiscal year, (b) the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 or (c) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. 

Intellectual Property

We have applied for and received a service mark for our name, Legion and Legion Capital, and an associated logo. We have no other intellectual property.

REGULATION A+

We are offering our Bonds and Shares pursuant to recently adopted rules by the SEC mandated under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. These offering rules are often referred to as “Regulation A+.” We are relying upon “Tier 2” of Regulation A+, which allows us to offer of up to $50 million in a 12-month period.

In accordance with the requirements of Tier 2 of Regulation A+, we will be required to publicly file annual, semiannual, and current event reports with the SEC after the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Bonds and Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks, together with all other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular, including, but not limited to, the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to buy our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed.

RISK FACTORS REGARDING OUR COMPANY AND BUSINESS

Investments in small businesses and start-up companies are often risky.

Small businesses may depend heavily upon a single customer, supplier, or employee whose departure would seriously damage the company’s profitability. The demand for the Company’s product may be seasonal or be impacted by the overall economy, or the company could face other risks that are specific to its industry or type of business. The Company may also have a hard time competing against larger companies who can negotiate for better prices from suppliers, produce goods and services on a large scale more economically, or take advantage of bigger marketing budgets. Furthermore, a small business could face risks from lawsuits, governmental regulations, and other potential impediments to growth.

The Company has limited operating history.

The Company is still in an early phase and is just beginning to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that it will ever operate profitably. The likelihood of its success should be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays usually encountered by companies in their early stages of development, with low barriers to entry. The Company may not be successful in attaining the objectives necessary for it to overcome these risks and uncertainties.

The Company may need additional capital, which may not be available.

The Company may require funds in excess of its existing cash resources to fund operating deficits, develop new products or services, establish and expand its marketing capabilities, and finance general and administrative activities. Due to market conditions at the time the Company may need additional funding, or due to its financial condition at that time, it is possible that the Company will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when it needs it. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, it may not be able to repay debts when they are due and payable. If the Company is able to obtain capital it may be on unfavorable terms or terms which excessively dilute then-existing equity holders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, it could be forced to delay its development, marketing and expansion efforts and, if it continues to experience losses, potentially cease operations.

The Company’s management has broad discretion in how the Company use the net proceeds of an offering.

The Company’s management will have considerable discretion over the use of proceeds from their offering. You may not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.

The Company may not be able to manage its potential growth.

For the Company to succeed, it needs to experience significant expansion. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. This expansion, if accomplished, may place a significant strain on the Company’s management, operational and financial resources. To manage any material growth, the Company will be required to implement operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. It also will be required to expand its finance, administrative and operations staff. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations at any increased level. The Company’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company faces significant competition.

The Company faces competition from other companies, some of which might have received more funding than the Company has. One or more of the Company’s competitors could offer services similar to those offered by the Company at significantly lower prices, which would cause downward pressure on the prices the Company would be able to charge for its services. If the Company is not able to charge the prices it anticipates charging for its services, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. In addition, while the Company believes it is well-positioned to be the market leader in its industry, the emergence of one of its existing or future competitors as a market leader may limit the Company’s ability to achieve national brand recognition, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s growth relies on market acceptance.

While the Company believes that there will be significant customer demand for its products/services, there is no assurance that there will be broad market acceptance of the Company’s offerings. There also may not be broad market acceptance of the Company’s offerings if its competitors offer products/services which are preferred by prospective customers. In such event, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and the Company may not be able to achieve its goals.

The Company may be unable to repay the debt raised through this offering or redeem the Preferred Shares if an investor desires to be redeemed.

As a new company, with limited track record, the Company may face many challenges in gaining market share and achieving sustainable revenues and profitability as a company. As a result, the Company may be unable to repay the money raised through this debt offering, and that could result in a loss of principal to the noteholders. Additionally, the Company may not have the available cash, if and when needed, to redeem any of the Preferred Shares at such time as an investor or investors may desire or request redemption thereof. In such case, the result would be that investors may have their investment funds tied up longer than desired or expected as there is no market for the resale of such investments, and as a result, investors could suffer significant loss of return on investment or principal.

Our bonds have an automatic rollover provision and such provision is affected by federal securities laws.

The automatic rollover provision of our bonds must comply with federal securities laws. All offers of securities associated with such rollover provisions must registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or must be made under applicable exemptions from registration under federal law.

The Company’s founders, directors and executive officers own or control a majority of the Company.

Additionally, the holdings of the Company’s directors and executive officers may increase in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted or if they otherwise acquire additional interest in the Company. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers of securities in the offering. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence over and control all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers in the offering, may vote, including the following actions:

Such persons’ ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the Company’s stock price.

We must manage our portfolio so that we do not become an investment company that is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act.

We conduct our operations so that we avail ourselves of any and all applicable statutory exclusions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Because registration as an investment company would significantly affect our ability to engage in certain transactions or be structured in the manner we currently are, we intend to conduct our business so that we will continue to satisfy the requirements to avoid regulation as an investment company. If we do not meet these requirements, we could be forced to alter our investment portfolio by selling or otherwise disposing of a substantial portion of the assets that do not satisfy the applicable requirements or by acquiring a significant position in assets that are qualifying interests. Any such investments may not represent an optimum use of capital when compared to the available investments we and our subsidiaries target pursuant to our investment strategy and present additional risks to us. We continue to analyze our investments and may make certain investments when and if required for compliance purposes. Altering our portfolio in this manner may have an adverse effect on our investments if we are forced to dispose of or acquired assets in an unfavorable market.

If it were established that we were an unregistered investment company, there would be a risk that we would be subject to monetary penalties and injunctive relief in an action brought by the SEC, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties, that third parties could seek to obtain rescission of transactions undertaken during the period it was established that we were an unregistered investment company. In order to comply with provisions that allow us to avoid the consequences of registration under the Investment Company Act, we may need to forego otherwise attractive opportunities and limit the manner in which we conduct our operations. Therefore, compliance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

Rapid changes in the values of our other real estate-related investments may make it more difficult for us to maintain our exclusion from regulation under the Investment Company Act.

If the market value or income potential of real estate-related investments declines, we may need to alter the mix of our portfolio of assets in order to maintain our exclusion from the Investment Company Act regulation. If the decline in real estate asset values and/or income occurs quickly, this may be especially difficult to accomplish. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the illiquid nature of any non-qualifying assets that we may own. We may have to make investment decisions that we otherwise would not make absent the Investment Company Act considerations. 

Rapid changes in the values of our other real estate-related investments may make it more difficult for us to maintain our exclusion from regulation under the Investment Company Act.

If the market value or income potential of real estate-related investments declines, we may need to alter the mix of our portfolio of assets in order to maintain our exclusion from the Investment Company Act regulation. If the decline in real estate asset values and/or income occurs quickly, this may be especially difficult to accomplish. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the illiquid nature of any non-qualifying assets that we may own. We may have to make investment decisions that we otherwise would not make absent the Investment Company Act considerations.

Our business depends heavily on our officers and directors.

Our future ability to execute our business plan depends upon the continued service of our CEO Jim Byrd, our President Paul Carrazzone and our CMO Shane Hackett. If we lost the services of one or more of our key personnel, or if one or more of our executive officers or employees joined a competitor or otherwise competed with us, our business may be adversely affected. We cannot assure that we will be able to retain or replace our key personnel.

If we are unable to retain the members of our management team or attract and retain qualified management team members in the future, our business and growth could suffer.

Our success and future growth depend, to a significant degree, on the continued contributions of the members of our management team. Each member of our management team is an at-will employee and may voluntarily terminate his or her employment with us at any time with minimal notice. We also may need to hire additional management team members to adequately manage our growing business. We may not be able to retain or identify and attract additional qualified management team members. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. If we lose the services of any member of our management team or if we are unable to attract and retain additional qualified senior management teams, our business and growth could suffer. 

Our operating results may continue to be adversely affected as a result of unfavorable market, economic, social and political conditions.

An unstable global economic, social and political environment may have a negative impact on demand for our services, our business and our operations, including the U.S. economic environment. The economic, social and political environment has or may negatively impact, among other things:

Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020, with respect to the outbreak and several countries, including the United States, Japan and Australia have initiated travel restrictions to and from China, Korea and Europe. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared this to be a pandemic.

A widespread health crisis could adversely affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could impact demand for our services.

To date, the pandemic has had a limited material adverse impact on our operations. However, the future impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and there is no assurance that the pandemic will not have a material adverse impact on the future results of the Company. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain the coronavirus.

RISKS RELATED TO REAL ESTATE AND OTHER BUSINESS LOANS AND PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

Real estate valuation is inherently subjective and uncertain.

We are heavily involved in the real estate development and ownership industry. The valuation of real estate and therefore the valuation of any collateral underlying our loans is inherently subjective due to, among other factors, the individual nature of each property, its location, the expected future rental revenues from that particular property and the valuation methodology adopted. In addition, where we invest in loans for renovation or improvement projects, initial valuations will assume completion of the project. As a result, the valuations of the real estate assets against which we will make or acquire loans are subject to a large degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions and methodologies that may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of volatility, low transaction flow or restricted debt availability in the commercial or residential real estate markets. This is true regardless of whether we internally perform such valuation or hire a third party to do so.

Our loans and investments may be concentrated in terms of geography, asset types, and teams.

We are not required to observe specific diversification criteria. Therefore, our investments may be concentrated in certain property types that may be subject to higher risk of default or foreclosure or secured by properties concentrated in a limited number of geographic locations.

To the extent that our assets are concentrated in any one region or type of asset, downturns generally relating to such type of asset or region may result in defaults on a number of our investments within a short time period, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, because of asset concentrations, even modest changes in the value of the underlying real estate assets could have a significant impact on the value of our investment. As a result of any high levels of concentration, any adverse economic, political or other conditions that disproportionately affects those geographic areas or asset classes could have a magnified adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, and the value of our stockholders’ investments could vary more widely than if we invested in a more diverse portfolio of loans.

Insurance on loans and real estate collateral may not cover all losses.

There are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, which may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also might result in insurance proceeds insufficient to repair or replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. Under these circumstances, the insurance proceeds received with respect to a property relating to one of our investments might not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to our investment. Any uninsured loss could result in the corresponding nonperformance of or loss on our investment related to such property.

The impact of any future terrorist attacks and the availability of affordable terrorism insurance expose us to certain risks.

Terrorist attacks, the anticipation of any such attacks, and the consequences of any military or other response by the U.S. and its allies may have an adverse impact on the U.S. financial markets and the economy in general. We cannot predict the severity of the effect that any such future events would have on the U.S. financial markets, the economy or our business. Any future terrorist attacks could adversely affect the credit quality of some of our loans and investments. Some of our loans and investments will be more susceptible to such adverse effects than others, particularly those secured by properties in major cities or properties that are prominent landmarks or public attractions. We may suffer losses as a result of the adverse impact of any future terrorist attacks and these losses may adversely impact our results of operations.

In addition, the enactment of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, or TRIA, and the subsequent enactment of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which extended TRIA through the end of 2020, requires insurers to make terrorism insurance available under their property and casualty insurance policies and provides federal compensation to insurers for insured losses. However, this legislation does not regulate the pricing of such insurance and there is no assurance that this legislation will be extended beyond 2020. The absence of affordable insurance coverage may adversely affect the general real estate lending market, lending volume and the market’s overall liquidity and may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and the pace at which we are able to make investments. If the properties that we invest in are unable to obtain affordable insurance coverage, the value of those investments could decline and in the event of an uninsured loss, we could lose all or a portion of our investment.

We may need to foreclose on certain of the loans we originate or acquire, which could result in losses that harm our results of operations and financial condition.

We may find it necessary or desirable to foreclose on certain of the loans we originate or acquire, and the foreclosure process may be lengthy and expensive. If we foreclose on an asset, we may take title to the property securing that asset, and if we do not or cannot sell the property, we would then come to own and operate it as “real estate owned.” Owning and operating real property involves risks that are different (and in many ways more significant) than the risks faced in owning an asset secured by that property. In addition, we may end up owning a property that we would not otherwise have decided to acquire directly at the price of our original investment or at all, and the liquidation proceeds upon sale of the underlying real estate may not be sufficient to recover our cost basis in the loan, resulting in a loss to us.

Whether or not we have participated in the negotiation of the terms of any such loans, we cannot assure you as to the adequacy of the protection of the terms of the applicable loan, including the validity or enforceability of the loan and the maintenance of the anticipated priority and perfection of the applicable security interests. Furthermore, claims may be asserted by lenders or borrowers that might interfere with enforcement of our rights. Borrowers may resist foreclosure actions by asserting numerous claims, counterclaims and defenses against us, including, without limitation, lender liability claims and defenses, even when the assertions may have no basis in fact, in an effort to prolong the foreclosure action and seek to force the lender into a modification of the loan or a favorable buy-out of the borrower’s position in the loan. In some states, foreclosure actions can take several years or more to litigate. At any time prior to or during the foreclosure proceedings, the borrower may file for bankruptcy, which would have the effect of staying the foreclosure actions and further delaying the foreclosure process and could potentially result in a reduction or discharge of a borrower’s debt. Foreclosure may create a negative public perception of the related property, resulting in a diminution of its value. Even if we are successful in foreclosing on a loan, the liquidation proceeds upon sale of the underlying real estate may not be sufficient to recover our cost basis in the loan, resulting in a loss to us. Furthermore, any costs or delays involved in the foreclosure of the loan or a liquidation of the underlying property will further reduce the net sale proceeds and, therefore, increase any such losses to us.

The properties underlying our loans and investments may be subject to unknown liabilities, including environmental liabilities, that could affect the value of these properties and as a result, our investments.

Collateral properties underlying our investments may be subject to unknown or unquantifiable liabilities that may adversely affect the value of our investments. Such defects or deficiencies may include title defects, title disputes, liens, servitudes or other encumbrances on the mortgaged properties. The discovery of such unknown defects, deficiencies and liabilities could affect the ability of our borrowers to make payments to us or could affect our ability to foreclose and sell the underlying properties, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, to the extent we foreclose on properties with respect to which we have extended loans, we may be subject to environmental liabilities arising from such foreclosed properties. Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances released on its property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances.

If we foreclose on any properties underlying our investments, the presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell the property and we may incur substantial remediation costs, therefore the discovery of material environmental liabilities attached to such properties could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We may be subject to lender liability claims, and if we are held liable under such claims, we could be subject to losses.

In recent years, a number of judicial decisions have upheld the right of borrowers to sue lending institutions on the basis of various evolving legal theories, collectively termed “lender liability.” Generally, lender liability is founded on the premise that a lender has either violated a duty, whether implied or contractual, of good faith and fair dealing owed to the borrower or has assumed a degree of control over the borrower resulting in the creation of a fiduciary duty owed to the borrower or its other creditors or stockholders. We cannot assure prospective investors that such claims will not arise or that we will not be subject to significant liability if a claim of this type did arise.

Investments in non-conforming and non-investment grade rated loans involve increased risk of loss.

Many of our loans and investments may not conform to conventional loan standards applied by traditional lenders and either will not be rated (as is typically the case for private loans) or will be rated as non-investment grade by the rating agencies. Private loans often are not rated by credit rating agencies. Non-investment grade ratings typically result from the overall leverage of the loans, the lack of a strong operating history for the properties underlying the loans, the borrowers’ credit history, the underlying properties’ cash flow or other factors. As a result, these investments should be expected to have a higher risk of default and loss than investment-grade rated assets. Any loss we incur may be significant and may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. There are no limits on the percentage of unrated or non-investment grade rated assets we may hold in our investment portfolio.

OTHER RISKS RELATED TO OUR LOANS

Appraisals. In many cases, prior to initiating a mortgage, the Company will perform or require an appraisal of the subject property securing the mortgage on an “as improved basis” to account for the anticipated increase in value from the borrower’s proposed improvement program (or if no such program is contemplated, then on an “existing as-built basis”). Any real estate appraisal is, at best, a reasoned guess as to the market value of the subject real property as of the date of the appraisal and/or as of the date of the anticipated improvements. There is always a risk that scheduled improvements will not be completed, or that if cost overruns occur that completion will be at a greater cost and possibly subject to lien rights in favor of the persons performing such services, which could be superior to the Company’s mortgage rights. Property values fluctuate based upon a variety of economic factors and market conditions. Accordingly, the Company will operate absent any assurance that the estimated values shown within the appraisals upon which it is relying are accurate, or that they will remain accurate over the term of the mortgage. The Company may, in certain circumstances, elect to forego the conducting of an appraisal which may provide less comfort than if an appraisal is in place.

Loan to Value. The Company has a guideline to not advance in excess of 60% of loan to orderly liquidation value of the collateral. While this is a guideline, it is not a hard and fast rule and the Company may elect to make advances in excess of this amount in its sole discretion based upon the facts and circumstances related to a proposed loan. As a general rule, the greater the amount of monies advanced relative to the underlying value of a property, the greater the risk of loss should there be a need to liquidate the asset to satisfy the obligation. In addition, as this guideline is a based upon as rehabilitated value, the actual underlying value of a collateral at the time of closing of a Loan may be less than 60% of the Loan, and the enhancement of value is at risk based upon the ability of the owner of the property to rehabilitate or construct the property on budget, on time and in accordance with the plans and specifications of the improvement. This increases the risk of loss if the improvement is not affected in a timely manner, within budget and to specifications.

Balloon Payments. Most, if not all, of the mortgages the Company initiates will contain provisions that require the borrower to pay a “balloon” payment on a certain date. A balloon payment is a scheduled loan installment that more commonly represents the full amount of the outstanding debt owed at that time. In the event a borrower misses a balloon payment, is unable to procure a refinance and is additionally unable to sell the Property in a timely fashion, the Company must either exceed the term of the mortgage or foreclose on the Property. Given the current limited availability of financing in the market, typical sources of commercial financing are not as readily available as they were prior to 2008. Accordingly, borrowers may not be able to sell or refinance properties which may prolong the commitment of the Company to a mortgage and ultimately jeopardize the Investors’ capital and/or returns. In addition, as certain of the Properties may not be leased (for example, development properties or residences that are vacant during the improvement period), the Company may be forced to continue to financing holding costs until the Properties can be disposed.

Borrower Bankruptcy. In the event a petition under the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against a borrower who is indebted to the Company, the Company will be prohibited from taking any action to collect or foreclose on its collateral until authorized to do so by the applicable bankruptcy court. Even though, as secured creditors, the Company will be entitled to seek, and may be awarded, relief from such a stay, there can be no assurances that such a relief will be obtained or that there will not be a substantial delay in obtaining relief from the automatic stay. In any event, the inability of the Company to foreclose promptly upon collateral held by the Company may have a material adverse effect on the Company, more specifically, on the Investors’ capital accounts and ultimate returns.

Concentration of Credit Risk. The Company may initiate multiple loans with common or affiliated borrowers subject to the lending guidelines outlined in this document. In this event, these could be increased risk to the Company and the Investors’ capital I the event of borrower insolvency.

Risk of Second Mortgage Loans. Although the Company anticipates that most of its Loans will be first mortgage loans, it is authorized to make second mortgage loans as well based upon circumstances the Company deems appropriate, and second mortgage loans advances may exceed the amount advanced and secured by first mortgage loans. There is much greater risk to second mortgage loans than first mortgage loans, inasmuch as if there is a default under the first mortgage loan, should the senior lender initiate foreclosure proceedings, in order to avoid loss of its secured loan position, the second mortgage lender may be forced to pay off the first mortgage loan in full. The value of the Property may be less than the first mortgage loan (as may be evidenced by circumstances triggering the default on the senior mortgage), which could result in loss not only of the equity of the Company in a second mortgage loan, but also possible loss of any monies it may pay to pay off the first mortgage loan. Even in the event that there is sufficient equity in a Property to exceed a first mortgage loan, the Company may lack the cash necessary to preserve its equity in its second mortgage position, or there may be insufficient liquidity generally in the marketplace to permit a sale of the Property in a manner which would enable the Company to recoup its investment in a second mortgage loan.

Commercial Borrower Default. The timely repayment of commercial mortgage loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business other than on the liquidation value of the underlying real property. However, the Company’s underwriting criteria for initiating mortgages secured by real estate used for commercial purposes (examples would include nursing homes, restaurants and convenience stores) will typically consider the liquidation value of the underlying real property collateral, absent the existing business as a going concern.

Delays in effecting development and improvement of properties could adversely impact investor returns. The business plan of the Company assumes rapid deployment by borrowers of available funds following acceptance from subscribers as well as following sale of Properties (through reinvestment in new Loans secured by Properties). Failure to timely locate suitable Loans for investment or delays in closing on such opportunities will adversely impact operations of the Company. In addition, the cycle from acquisition through disposition is contingent in large part upon rapid refurbishment of the Properties to sale ready condition by borrowers. Delays in refurbishment timing due to unavailability of contractors and/or scope of refurbishment being greater than budgeted, could adversely impact velocity of sale of Properties and returns to the Company.

The Company will incur obligations to the Company and others which must be paid irrespective of the success of the Loans. The Company will incur obligations in connection with the funding of Loans, the improvement and refurbishment process and the administration of the mortgages, which will be payable irrespective of whether the Properties can be acquired, refurbished and sold at a profit. This could result in losses being incurred by the Company although the Company and its affiliates are being compensated.

Investment in properties may be adversely affected by legislative, regulatory, administrative, and enforcement action at the local, state and national levels. The borrowers’ cost of operation of real estate investments may be adversely affected by legislative, regulatory, administrative and enforcement action at the local, state and national levels in the areas, among others, of housing and environmental controls. In addition to possible increasingly restrictive zoning regulations and related land use controls, such restrictions may relate to air and water quality standards, noise pollution, and indirect environmental impacts, such as increased motor vehicle activity. There can be no assurances that the prior or subsequent use of the Properties will not create environmental problems. Various federal, state and local laws impose liability for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Examples of hazardous substances include asbestos, solvents, petroleum, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides. Releases may occur due to leaks, spills, emissions, escapes and groundwater injection. Liability under the various environmental laws generally is strict, joint and several between all persons responsible for any part of a release, including the property owner, who could be held responsible for a hazardous substance even after it is removed from his property. Under such environmental laws, current or former owners of real estate which can include the Company, should it foreclose on any Properties, as well as certain other categories of parties, may also be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third-parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Accordingly, the borrowers (or the Company should it acquire fee title to a Property) could incur liability under the various environmental laws if a release has occurred or were to occur on Properties and such liability could be significant. In addition, a release of hazardous substances at any of the Properties could adversely affect its value and marketability. There can be no assurance that the borrowers (or the Company should it acquire fee title to a Property) will have the funds necessary to effect any required environmental remediation or to pay any liability related to a violation of any environmental laws, both of which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Environmental regulations may also have an adverse impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials, such as lumber.

Delays in obtaining necessary permits or favorable building code inspections may delay development or improvement and impact the properties and the mortgages. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, permits or favorable building code inspections necessary under applicable federal, state, or local laws may delay the purchase, improvement, or resales of Properties or prevent their purchase, acquisition or disposition, thereby affecting proceeds to be received from the Company on the mortgages.

Construction and Rehabilitation Loans. Construction and improvement loans are inherently riskier that loans on existing structures and land. Invariably construction and improvement budgets are either unrealistic or unforeseen variables arise prolonging the development and increasing the costs. While funding may implement procedures to manage construction funding loans, there can be no certainty that the Company will not suffer losses on construction loans. In addition, if a builder fails to complete a project, the Company may use its contracts and expertise to complete the project, which will likely result in a substantial increase in costs in excess of the original budget and delays in completion of project. In the event the Company suffers substantial borrower defaults, or is unable to obtain new funds from Investors, the Company may be unable to fund a performing Construction Loan. In this case, a borrower may have a claim against the Company for breach of loan agreement.

Environmental Concerns. The real property securing mortgages initiated by the Company may be subject to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), or other federal, state or local regulations pertaining to the management and disposal of hazardous substances. Pursuant to these regulations, a contamination can give rise to a lien against the subject real property for the purposes of assuring payment of the cost of clean-up. In some states, such liens have priority over existing mortgages. Consequently, in the event the Company initiates a mortgage secured by a contaminated property, or in the event the borrower contaminates the property, this could indirectly result in liability to the Company for the cost of the clean-up. The Company will be relying upon contractual representations from the borrower as to environmental conditions, but is not expected to have independent environmental assessments made on the Properties, which could result in risk to the Company to the effect such representations prove inaccurate and/or the borrower is unable to cost effectively remediate the applicable environmental condition.

Geographic Concentration. The Company expects to concentrate its investments in mortgages secured by real property situated in Florida and the southeast. Real estate markets and values in these states may be subject to risks uniquely characteristic of each local economy. Consequently, dramatic recessionary influences affecting these local economies could adversely affect borrower incomes and/or real property values, potentially encumbering the Company’s ability to collect on the mortgages it owns in that area. Furthermore, a widespread natural disaster (such as an earthquake, flood, or volcanic eruption) could simultaneously damage the real properties securing the various mortgages the Company owns in that area, potentially encumbering the Company’s ability to collect on its mortgages.

Governmental Regulation. Decisions of federal, state and local authorities may affect the value of the real properties serving as security for mortgages initiated (examples of such decisions would include zoning changes, moratoriums, condemnations for public roadways, changes in municipal boundaries, or changes in land use plans).

Higher Than Normal Risk of Borrower Default. Borrowers and purchasers who are obligated under the types of mortgages the Company initiates are sometimes persons who do not qualify for conventional bank financing or who would generally be regarded to be higher risk borrowers. Consequently, conventional mortgage banking philosophy dictates that these borrowers are more likely to default on the repayment of their obligations. In the current economic and lending market, if a borrower defaults it will likely take longer for the Company to find a buyer of a foreclosed property due to the decline in the number of lenders willing to make real estate loans and the increased eligibility standards for borrowers. This in turn would have an impact on Investor returns.

Insurance and Casualty Loss. It is the policy of the Company to require fire and/or casualty insurance on property improvements that would be sufficient, together with the value of the underlying land, to pay off all obligations, including the subject mortgage. There are certain disasters, however, for which no insurance is available or for which insurance may be deemed to be too expensive (examples would include flood and earthquake insurance). Furthermore, the Company has no control over the borrower’s actions or the state of the property that might reduce available coverage, call for economically prohibitive premiums, or otherwise render the subject real property uninsurable. In addition, should insurance coverage lapse due to premiums not paid by the borrower, or should a policy be cancelled for other reasons, the Company may not be protected unless substitute or new insurance is in force. In this event, the Company may be required to pay the premiums to maintain such insurance. This could in turn have a negative impact on Investor returns.

Limited or Inaccurate Borrower Information. There can be no assurance that the information provided to the Company will contain all relevant facts about a borrower or that the information will be accurate. Although it will be the Company’s policy to independently obtain a credit report and certain other relevant information relating to each borrower, the Company will not always be able to obtain accurate credit information or to independently verify the information supplied to it by third party providers.

Non-Judicial Foreclosures. In the event of a default, the Company will generally file non-judicial foreclosure proceedings against the borrower(s). Non-judicial foreclosure proceedings, which are substantially more expeditious than judicial proceedings, generally prohibit the Company from obtaining a deficiency judgment against the borrower(s), in the event the net proceeds from the sale of the subject real property securing the defaulted mortgage is less than the full amount owed to the Company.

Property Taxes and Other Governmental Assessments. Mortgages secured by real property are subject and subordinate to liens for unpaid real property taxes and, in some cases, to levies from local improvement districts (examples would include assessments for local road improvements or for the construction of local sewer facilities). Consequently, the Company may be liable for unpaid property taxes and governmental assessments in the event of a default. This in turn could have a negative impact on Investor returns.

Reduced Underwriting Standards. The Company has less stringent underwriting standards as compared to those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) with respect to newly originated single-family loans and those of institutional lenders with respect to newly originated commercial mortgage loans. Therefore, necessarily the risk of default on loans made by the Company could be meaningfully higher than those acceptable per FNMA and FHLMC underwriting standards.

Value of Security Dependent upon Property Value. There is no guarantee that the Company will recover the full amount owed to the Company on each and every mortgage (including accrued interest, late charges, etc.). In the event of a default, even though the Company may have received an accurate appraisal of the subject real property as of the date of the Company’s initiation of the subject mortgage, events subsequent to the date of the appraisal could have an adverse effect on the value of the subject real property (examples would include a general downward fluctuation in local property values, neighborhood degradation, highway relocations, the borrower’s failure to properly or adequately maintain the subject real property, and damage due to uninsured disasters and losses). In the case that the Company is unable to recover the full amount owed by the borrower, Investor capital and return could be materially affected.

Borrower Concentration. The Company may limit its lending activity to a very small number of borrowers, which will subject to the Company to significant risk in the event of financial distress of the borrower(s).

Interest Ceilings Under Usury Statutes. The amount of interest which may be charged by the Company on its Loans is limited by state usury laws. Such laws impose penalties on the making of usurious loans, including restitution of excess interest and unenforceability of the debt obligation. While the Company does not intend to make Loans at usurious interest rates, there are uncertainties in determining the legality of interest rates since the interest rate being charged may be increased as a result of imposition of terms requiring payment of interest on accrued interest and this could significantly adversely impact ultimate returns to the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

There is no minimum capitalization required in this offering. We cannot assure that all or a significant number of Bonds or Shares will be sold in this offering. Investors’ subscription funds will be used by us at our discretion, and no refunds will be given if an inadequate amount of money is raised from this offering to enable us to conduct our business. If we raise less than the entire amount that we are seeking in the offering, then we may not have sufficient capital to meet our operating requirements. We cannot assure that we could obtain additional financing or capital from any source, or that such financing or capital would be available to us on terms acceptable to us. Under such circumstances, investors could lose their investment in us. Furthermore, investors who subscribe for Bonds or Shares in the earlier stages of the offering will assume a greater risk than investors who subscribe for Bonds or Shares later in the offering as subscriptions approach the maximum amount.

We determined the price of the Bonds and Shares arbitrarily. The offering price of the Bonds and Shares has been determined by management, and bears no relationship to our assets, book value, potential earnings, net worth or any other recognized criteria of value. We cannot assure that price of the Bonds and Shares is the fair market value of the Bonds and Shares or that investors will earn any profit on them.

After the completion of this offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation. Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

Managing Broker Dealer Agreement

On March 13, 2020, the Company engaged Sequence Financial Specialists LLC, a registered broker-dealer, as its managing broker dealer (the “Managing Broker Dealer”), pursuant to the terms of a Managing Broker Dealer Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Managing Broker Dealer Agreement, dated May 13, 2020 (the “Managing Broker Dealer Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Managing Broker Dealer Agreement, the Managing Broker Dealer may engage one or more sub-selling agents or selected dealers. Under the terms of its Managing Broker Dealer Agreement with the Company, neither the Managing Broker Dealer nor any sub-selling agent shall have any marketing or sales obligations other than to process indications of interest forwarded to the Managing Broker Dealer or sub-selling agents by the Company or its management. The Managing Broker Dealer is not purchasing any of the Bonds or Shares being offered by the Company, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of such shares in the offering.

Under the terms of its Managing Broker Dealer Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Managing Broker Dealer a commission and fee equal to (a) selling commissions of 1.50% on the aggregate gross sales of 1yr bonds, 4.00% on the aggregate gross sales of 2yr bonds, 5.25% on the aggregate gross sales of 3yr bonds, and 7.0% on the aggregate gross sales of Shares (b) a Managing Broker Dealer fee of 0.50% on the aggregate gross sales of 1yr bonds, 0.75% on the aggregate gross sales of 2yr bonds, 1.00% on the aggregate gross sales of 3yr bonds, and 1.25% on the aggregate gross sales of the Shares, and (c) a Managing Broker Dealer fee payable in connection with the engagement of each soliciting dealer or selling group member equal to up to 0.73% and 0.89% on the aggregate gross sales of the bonds or Shares, respectively, as applicable. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Managing Broker Dealer for its reasonable out of pocket legal expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in an amount not to exceed $15,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum aggregate underwriting compensation to be received by the Managing Broker Dealer and related persons from any source will not exceed an amount that equals 8% of the offering proceeds, including but not limited to, the selling commissions, managing broker-dealer fees, soliciting dealer fees and underwriter counsel fees.

The Managing Broker Dealer and participating broker-dealers, if any, and others shall be indemnified by the Company with respect to the offering and the disclosures made by the Company in its Form 1-A and related Offering Circular.

Pending the approval by the FINRA of the compensation arrangements with the Managing Broker Dealer, the Company will only offer and sell its Bonds and Shares, respectively, to potential purchasers who reside in states in which the Company has registered the offering or obtained an exemption from such registration.

This summary of the material provisions of the Managing Broker Dealer Agreement do not purport to be a complete statement of their terms and conditions. A copy of the Managing Broker Dealer Agreement has been filed herewith.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be approximately $18,733,333 from Bond sales and $17,650,000 from Redeemable Preferred Stock sales after deducting estimated selling commissions and the Management Fee to Legion. The estimated net proceeds from Bond sales represents the average selling commissions based on an equal distribution of bond sales between 1, 2, and 3-year bond terms. Actual sales may vary and will increase or decrease the total selling commissions and net proceeds accordingly.

We plan to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to originate, acquire, and manage senior loans in the residential and commercial real estate marketplace. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to pay fees the Company or its affiliates, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes, as described in more detail below. Our actual use of offering proceeds will depend upon market conditions, among other considerations.

We originate senior loans collateralized by residential and commercial real estate in the U.S. with a particular focus in the state of Florida. We also may originate or acquire other real estate and real estate-related debt assets. The allocation of our capital among our target assets will depend on prevailing market conditions and may change over time in response to different prevailing market conditions, including with respect to interest rates and general economic and credit market conditions. In addition, we also may use the net proceeds from this offering to invest in assets other than our target assets, subject to our exclusion from regulation under the Investment Company Act. Until appropriate investments can be identified, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in money market funds, bank accounts, overnight repurchase agreements with primary federal reserve bank dealers collateralized by direct U.S. government obligations and other instruments or investments reasonably determined by us that are consistent with our exclusion from regulation under the Investment Company Act. These investments are expected to provide a lower net return than we seek to achieve from our target assets.

TERMS OF THE OFFERING

The Bond Offering

We are offering up to $40,000,000 of Series A Corporate Bonds with 1, 2, and 3 year maturity terms (“Bonds”) to the public at a price of $1,000 per Bond. Sales of the Bonds are limited by concurrent sales of Shares in this offering.  Maximum offering amount of both securities combined equals $40,000,000, provided, that, of the $40,000,000 combined maximum amount available for sale, (i) the maximum amount of Shares that may be sold hereunder shall not exceed $20,000,000, and (ii) the gross aggregate proceeds received in this offering for the sale of the Shares and the Bonds with 3-year maturities shall not exceed $37,500,000. Our management team has arbitrarily determined the selling price of the Bonds and such price bears no relationship to our book or asset values, or to any other established criteria for valuing issued or outstanding Bonds.

The Bonds are being offered at the following terms and annual interest rates with interest payments made on a monthly basis:

An investor can purchase a Bond under any of the above 3 options or can split the investment into one or more options at his or her choosing, provided, that, each Bond term requires a minimum investment of $10,000. The maturity dates of each Bond sold will be the last day of the month in which the subscription was accepted corresponding with the Bond term in years.

By way of example, if any investor purchases $10,000 of a 1 year Bond and $10,000 of a 3 year Bond on January 15, 2020, the investor would receive monthly payments of interest only at 4.50% per annum on the 1 year Bond and 6.50% per annum on the 3 year Bond, and $10,000 of principal would be due in full on January 31, 2021 and $10,000 would be due on January 31, 2023. All monthly payments will be made on the 1^st day of every month, in arrears, with partial payment made for the first month if the investment is made on any day other than the 1^st day of the month.

Interest payments will be payable monthly on the 1^st of the month (or the next following business day thereafter in the event such date is not a business day with no additional interest accruing), following the first full month of an accepted subscription. Interest will accrue and be paid on a 360-day year basis.

Compensation We Will Pay

We will pay selling commissions of 1.50% on 1yr bonds, 4.00% on 2yr bonds, and 5.25% on 3yr bonds, (b) a Managing Broker Dealer fee of 0.50% on the aggregate gross sales of 1yr bonds, 0.75% on the aggregate gross sales of 2yr bonds, and 1.00% on the aggregate gross sales of 3yr bonds, (c) a Managing Broker Dealer fee payable in connection with the engagement of each soliciting dealer or selling group member equal to up to 0.73% on the aggregate gross sales price of the bonds, (d) $15,000 of legal fees and expenses incurred by the Managing Broker Dealer payable in two equal installments, (e) a non-accountable expense reimbursement of up to 0.50% of the gross proceeds in the offering payable to Legion and (f) an accountable expense allowance of 0.50% payable to Legion.

Set forth below is a table indicating the estimated compensation and expenses that will be paid in connection with the Bond offering.

Automatic Rollover Provisions: The Bonds will all automatically roll over for successive periods on the identical terms to the original period, unless we call the Bond(s) or the holder of such Bond(s) provides 60 days written notice to the Company, on forms and in such manner as established by the Company from time to time, of the intent of the holder to have the respective Bond not rollover to a successive period, and instead elects to have the Bond paid at original maturity in accordance with its terms.

Discounts for Bonds Purchased by Certain Persons

We may pay reduced or no selling commissions in connection with the sale of the Bonds in this offering to:

The net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing or eliminating selling commissions or Managing Broker Dealer fees payable in connection with sales to or through the persons described above.

The Redeemable Preferred Stock Shares

We are offering a maximum of $20,000,000 of Redeemable Preferred Stock (referred to herein as “Redeemable Preferred Stock” or “Shares”) in Legion, limited by concurrent sales of the Bonds,. Maximum offering amount of both securities combined equals $40,000,000, provided, that, of the $40,000,000 combined maximum amount available for sale, (i) the maximum amount of Shares that may be sold hereunder shall not exceed $20,000,000, and (ii) the gross aggregate proceeds received in this offering for the sale of the Shares and the Bonds with 3-year maturities shall not exceed $37,500,000. Our management team has arbitrarily determined the selling price of the Redeemable Preferred Stock Shares and such price bears no relationship to our book or asset values, or to any other established criteria for valuing issued or outstanding Redeemable Preferred Stock.

The Redeemable Preferred Stock Shares are being offered with a 7.50% per annum dividend, when and as declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock. Dividends are payable in monthly installments on the first day of each month (or the next following business day thereafter in the event such date is not a business day with no additional interest accruing). Dividends on each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock will begin accruing on, and will be cumulative from, the first day of the month following the month in which the subscription for the Shares was completed and accepted by Legion (the “date of issuance”) and regardless of whether our Board of Directors declares and pays such dividends.

Holders of Redeemable Preferred Stock are eligible to receive an annual profit participation payment (“Profit Participation Payment”) in an amount between 0% and 6% of the annually audited net income (“Profit”) of the Company subsidiary Finance. Holders will have no rights to participate in other profits of Legion or its affiliates or subsidiaries, only on those profits generated by the particular Loans made by the proceeds of this Offering, specifically held and managed in Finance. This Profit Participation Payment will be payable annually on or before April 15^th only to current Redeemable Preferred Stockholders of record that have owned their Shares for a minimum of 9 months prior to April 15^th (the “Measuring Period). This profit participation shall be allocated and paid on a pro-rata basis as determined by:

The Profit Participation Payment will be anywhere from 0% of the Profit if $0 of Redeemable Preferred Stock is owned during the Measuring Period to as much as 6% of the Profit if $20 million of Redeemable Preferred Stock is owned during the Measuring Period, with the actual percentage being tied to the actual dollar amount of Redeemable Preferred Stock held in relation to the actual dollar amount of Bonds held during the Measuring Period.

Set forth below is a table indicating the estimated compensation and expenses that will be paid in connection with the Redeemable Preferred Stock offering.

BUSINESS

Our Company

Legion is a holding company with operating subsidiaries in the areas of commercial lending, real estate and real estate title and closing services.

Our subsidiary, Finance, a Florida limited liability company was formed on December 19, 2019 to originate senior loans collateralized by residential and commercial real estate in the U.S. with a particular focus in the state of Florida. Our business plan is to originate, acquire and manage commercial real estate loans and other commercial real estate-related debt instruments. While adopting a local-first philosophy for real estate lending opportunities, our management team brings over 75 years of combined executive management experience in real estate finance, underwriting, commercial banking, marketing, and strategic advising experience. Our management team intends to actively participate in the servicing and operational oversight of our assets rather than relinquish those responsibilities to a third party.

Our investment objective is to preserve and protect our capital while producing attractive risk-adjusted returns generated from current income on our portfolio. Our investment strategy is to originate, acquire, and manage senior loans and to monetize real estate title, marketing, and management services affiliated with those loans.

We currently have 13 full-time employees. Our principal executive offices are located at 301 E. Pine Street, Suite 850, Orlando, FL 32801. For more information, please visit www.legioncapital.com. The information on, or otherwise accessible through this website does not constitute a part of this offering circular.

Our Lending Business

We typically deploy a three-tiered approach to our lending practice, as follows:

Legion makes a standard secured commercial loan to the project, secured by a first mortgage or lien on the asset or property. This secured loan is typically at no more than 60% loan to current appraised value, meaning we require the borrower to have at least 40% equity in the project.

We create revenue from the transaction in three (3) ways:

We recognize revenue associated with these various service fees and participation fees at the time such fees are deemed earned in accordance with the particular loan agreement with our borrower.

Investment Approach and Guidelines

Our investment strategy is to originate short-term, high-yielding senior loans collateralized by income producing residential and commercial real estate assets to established and qualified real estate developers and operators at reasonable loan-to-value ratios which will be vetted through our underwriting process. We intend to focus on transactions that meet our underwriting risk parameters, but do not meet the typical conforming standards of traditional banks and lenders. We intend to follow the guidelines below while originating commercial loans:

Lien Position: We intend to originate loans where we will have a first/senior lien position. Except in rare circumstances, we do not intend to make junior or mezzanine loans.

Concentration: We intend for senior secured commercial real estate loans originated by us to generally range between $250,000 and $5,000,000. We will consider loans larger than $5,000,000 in a club deal or co-invest structure. We expect no loan or co-investment will exceed 15% of our capital, unless we are in our first 24 months of active operations or our management team determines that such an investment is in our best interest.

Assets Classes: We intend to originate loans secured by residential and commercial properties including, but not limited to, single family, multifamily, office, hospitality, industrial, mixed-use, manufactured housing, developable land, and or any combination thereof.

Geography: Although our initial focus will be on Florida based loans, we may originate loans secured by assets located in the top 200 Metropolitan Statistical Areas, or “MSAs,” within the United States, which is defined as one or more adjacent counties that have at least one urban core area of at least a population of 50,000, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration as measured by commuting ties. While we intend to deploy a local-first investment strategy focusing on the state of Florida, opportunities will be evaluated in all of the top 200 MSAs. We do not intend to originate loans secured by assets in regions classified as agricultural or outside of the U.S. or its immediate territories.

Borrower Structure and Guarantee: We intend for the borrower of record to be a fully registered, active corporation or limited liability company. We do not intend to lend to individuals. At times, we will full or partial recourse from both the entity and its key principals to be standard for each loan.

Collateral: We intend to record a security interest in all real property used as collateral for the loan, as well as a UCC-1 filing on all chattel and other borrower assets.

Loan-to-Value and Loan-to-Cost: We do not intend for the loan-to-value, or “LTV,” of the assets securing our loans to exceed 60% of the projected value in the case of a rehabilitation or sale price in the case of a purchase transaction. On occasion we may elect to exceed the 60% LTV if we believe the transaction circumstances warrant the additional risk.

Term: We intend that the loans originated or purchased by the Company will have terms of 12-36 months with varied options for extension which trigger additional borrower origination fees and higher interest rates.

Loan Fees & Interest Income: We intend to use all loan fees, origination fees, interest income and extension fees payable to us as a means to pay the debt service obligations on the Bonds.

Management Team

Our management team brings over 75 years of combined executive management experience in real estate finance, underwriting, commercial banking, marketing, and strategic advising experience. The Company employs a team of professionals with field experience implementing deal structuring strategies, terms, and operational efficiencies to create value.

Deal Flow

Our management team is well known in the industry and has cultivated meaningful relationships with banks, brokers and borrowers by establishing themselves as a key player for funding real estate investments which allows us to have a “first look” at these opportunities before deals are brought to the market. The deal flow network is constantly being expanded as this system is being implemented into other key markets for real estate opportunities. The principals of Legion have an intimate knowledge of our market. Deals that come into our deal flow are initially evaluated on location, asset type, collateral value, and asset quality. Deals that qualify then move through the process with strict adherence to multiple reviews in every phase of the process, including initial evaluation, due diligence, underwriting and closing. At the initial evaluation, exit strategies are discussed and defined with the borrowers and potential take out or refinance partners.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We do not own any plants or facilities. We sublease our office space from a company owned by our Chairman and CEO, on a month to month basis as more specifically described in Footnote 13 to our Financial Statements attached to this Offering Circular.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF LEGION

Results of Operations

During the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, the Company had reduced revenues from $3,792,134 in fiscal year 2018, to $2,130,926 in fiscal year 2019 and reduced its operating loss (not including preferred dividends paid) from $3,296,482 in fiscal year 2018 to $1,692,913 in 2019. The reduction in revenues and operating loss was due to the Company streamlining its operations to focus on its lending and related services business.

We experienced revenue from the sale of certain equity holdings we owned in certain projects in $1,796,076 in 2018 and $0 in 2019 respectively.

The foregoing equity sales were isolated in the sense that the Company no longer typically seeks to acquire an equity stake in the company it funds as a commercial lender, rather we make revenue based on interest, origination and due diligence fees, service fees and participation fees related to commercial loan transactions, therefore, we expect a trend of discontinued revenue associated with the sale of equity. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $750,812. During the 12 months ended December 31, 2019, we used approximately $5,333,146 in cash for operating activities, we utilized approximately $360,553 of cash in investing activities, and were provided with approximately $6,152,508 through financing activities.

Our primary uses of cash were for expanding our lending business by making new and increased loans, marketing and working capital. The main source of cash was from private debt issuance. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

We expect to finance our operations primarily through our existing cash, our operational revenues and any future financing.  We expect to use both equity and debt financing from time to time. We have no limits on the amount of leverage we may employ. In general, we intend to pay debt service from operational cash flow, but we also expect to need to raise additional capital to meet our obligations and to fully implement our business plan. Potential future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, and additional debt and/or equity offerings. However, there is no assurance we will be able to obtain such capital on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our operations would be materially negatively impacted.

In 2018, our weighted average cost of funds was 8.88% per annum and in 2019 it was 9.42% per annum. In 2018 our weighted average yield on loans receivable was 11.18% per annum and in 2019 it was 9.7% per annum.

Results from Year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 . 

Gross revenue: For the year ended December 31, 2019, gross revenue was $2,130,926, compared to $3,792,134 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $1,661,208. This decrease was primarily due to a streamlining of the Company’s business. 

General and administrative: The consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased by $415,685 to $2,962,819 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,378,504 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to the Company streamlining portions of the business operations to focus on our core and most profitable and potentially profitable businesses. 

Bad Debt Expense: Bad debt expense decreased by $2,457,961 to $93,860 for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $2,551,821 for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Loss on sale of assets: The consolidated loss on sale of assets decreased by $55,360 to $0, for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $55,360 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Interest expense: The consolidated interest expense increased by $803,602 or 56% to $1,246,098 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $442,496 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the Company’s long-term debt. 

Net loss: Net loss from continuing operations decreased by $763,515, or 25%, to $2,298,829 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from a net loss of $3,062,344 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to our streamlined business focus and operations in 2019. 

Net loss from all continuing operations and discontinued operations decreased by $1,603,569, or 48%, to $1,692,913 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,296,482 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to our streamlined business focus and operations in 2019. 

The following table summarizes our gross revenue, operating expenses, and net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. 

The table below sets forth line items from the Company’s Audited consolidated Statements of Operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0 and 0 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01. As of the date of this Offering Circular, there are 16,432,268 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Transfer Agent 

The transfer agent for our Redeemable Preferred Stock is ClearTrust, LLC.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors 

Florida law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate (with a few exceptions) the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under Florida law, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law.  We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities.  We currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by directors and officers in the performance of their duties. 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.  These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.  In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to the indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws. 

There is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Bondholder. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such Bondholder’s particular circumstances or to Bondholders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

In addition, this discussion is limited to persons that purchase the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock in this offering for cash and that hold the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address the effect of any applicable state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws.

As used herein, “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock this is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock, the tax treatment of an owner of the entity generally will depend upon the status of the particular owner and the activities of the entity. If you are an owner of an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock.

We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS with respect to the matters discussed herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Bonds or Redeemable Preferred Stock or that any such position would not be sustained.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Legion Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Legion Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
