Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 30, 2022, CTO Realty Growth, Inc.

The Underwriters agreed to purchase the Common Stock from the Company at a price of $18.145 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions, which the Underwriters exercised in full on December 2, 2022. The offering of the 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock (including the 450,000 shares of Common Stock being issued pursuant to the Underwriters’ option) is expected to close on December 5, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds to the Company will be approximately $62.4 million after deduction of the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
