Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock and LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net loss for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock and LTIP Units.

The Company considers the requirements of the two-class method when preparing earnings per share. The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class C common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Earnings per share is not affected by the two-class method because the Company’s Class A and C common stock participate in dividends on a one-for-one basis.

The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the diluted shares calculations exclude the following as the effects are antidilutive: (i) potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 30,041 shares and 3,607 shares, respectively, (ii) potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 14,111,462 shares and 9,135,723 shares, respectively, and (iii) potential conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Class A common stock of 63,793 shares and zero shares, respectively.

The effect of the conversion of OP Units, which are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, and LTIP Units are not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to OP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock

In 2023, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-269415) (the “2023 Registration Statement”) offering a maximum of 20,000,000 shares of 6.0% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), for a maximum offering amount of $500 million in Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Offering”).

On March 20, 2026, the Company made the final issuance of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering, and on March 31, 2026, the SEC declared effective the Company’s post-effective amendment to the 2023 Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of the 2023 Registration Statement and remove all unsold shares of Series A Preferred Stock from registration pursuant to the 2023 Registration Statement. The Company issued a total of 6,527,513 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering, with total net proceeds of approximately $141.8 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 190,200 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Preferred Offering with net proceeds of approximately $4.2 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, the Company, at the request of holders, had redeemed a total of 10,960 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the issuance of 18,653 shares of Class A common stock and redeemed a total of 43,490 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $1.0 million in cash.

At the date of issuance, the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock was less than the redemption value. As a result of the Company’s determination that holder redemption is probable, the carrying value will be increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying value will equal the redemption value net of early redemption fees at the earliest redemption date. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had recorded a total of $5.6 million of accretion related to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock

In December 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-290772) offering a maximum of 14,000,000 shares of 7.5% Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share, for a maximum offering amount of $350 million in Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Offering”), and on February 20, 2026, the Company made the initial issuances of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Preferred Offering.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had issued 104,288 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Preferred Offering with net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and costs related to establishing the offering of Series B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not redeemed any shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

At the date of issuance, the carrying amount of the Series B Preferred Stock was less than the redemption value. As a result of the Company’s determination that holder redemption is probable, the carrying value will be increased by periodic accretions so that the carrying value will equal the redemption value net of early redemption fees at the earliest redemption date. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had recorded a total of $0.2 million of accretion related to the Series B Preferred Stock.

Class A Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On February 28, 2025, the Board authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The repurchase plan had a term of one year and ended in February 2026. The Company made no repurchases of its Class A common stock under this plan.

On February 10, 2026, the Board authorized a new stock repurchase plan, effective March 1, 2026, for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $10 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and ends on February 28, 2027, and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company expects that any repurchases of its Class A common stock will be through open market transactions, subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of March 31, 2026, no repurchases of Class A common stock had been made by the Company.

Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units

As of March 31, 2026, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.50% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (7,365,404 OP Units, or 55.44%, were held by OP Unit holders, and 1,867,211 LTIP Units, or 14.06%, were held by LTIP Unit holders, including 2.36% which were not vested as of March 31, 2026). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or, at the Company’s election, cash.

On February 18, 2026, the Company granted 22,252 C-LTIP Units, or approximately $210,000, to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement as partial payment of the total base management fee of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter 2025. Such C-LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance.

In the future, the Operating Partnership may issue OP Units or preferred OP Units from time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or for financing, compensation or other reasons.

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has in effect the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Individuals (the “Amended Individuals Plan”) and the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Entities (the “Amended Entities Plan”). Together, the Company refers to the Amended Individuals Plan and the Amended Entities Plan as the “BHM Incentive Plans.” The BHM Incentive Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, and are administered by the compensation committee of the Board.

LTIP Unit and Restricted Stock Grants

Under the BHM Incentive Plans, (i) certain of the Manager’s executive management team and personnel who provide services to the Manager were granted LTIP Units and/or shares of Class A common stock as restricted stock grants (“RSGs”) that vest over a three-year period, and (ii) each independent member of the Board was granted LTIP Units in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers, with such LTIP Units fully vested upon issuance.

LTIP Units

On January 1, 2026, the Company granted 7,824 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to each independent member of the Board in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers. Such LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance and the Company recognized expense of $0.3 million based on the fair value at the date of grant, with such expense recorded as part of general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for time-based LTIP Units based on the fair value at the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized compensation expense for such LTIP Units of approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2026, there was $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.6 years. Once vested, these awards of LTIP Units may convert to OP Units upon reaching capital account equivalency with the OP Units held by the Company, and may then be redeemed for cash or, at the option of the Company and after a one year holding period (including any period during which the LTIP Units were held), settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The holders of such LTIP Units will be entitled to receive “distribution equivalents” with respect to such LTIP Units, whether or not vested, at the same time distributions are paid to the holders of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Restricted Stock

The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for time-based RSGs. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized compensation expense for RSGs of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2026, there was $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSGs granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.7 years.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.

Holders of record of newly issued Series A Preferred Stock shares and Series B Preferred Stock shares that are held only a portion of the applicable monthly dividend period will receive a prorated dividend based on the actual number of days in the applicable dividend period during which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock was outstanding.

(2)

Holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock shares are entitled to an enhanced special dividend equal to the amount by which (i) the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by (a) the sum of (I) the average of the one-month Term SOFR for each day commencing on the 26th of the prior month to the 25th of the applicable month, plus (II) two percent, divided by (b) twelve, exceeds (ii) the standard monthly dividend of $0.125 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The enhanced special dividend will be aggregated with the standard monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock that is subject to a 6.5% minimum and 8.5% maximum annual rate.

A portion of each dividend may constitute a return of capital for tax purposes. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to declare dividends or at this rate. Holders of restricted stock, OP Units, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units are entitled to receive “distribution equivalents” at the same time as dividends are paid to holders of the Company’s Class A common stock.
