Since 2019, we (a non-bank lender) have engaged in the business of providing short-term specialty finance solutions primarily to private businesses, micro- and small-cap public companies and high-net-worth individuals. Our short-term lending arrangements have an average interest rate of 22.4 percent and typically come due in nine months.

These lending arrangements ordinarily involve us obtaining collateral as security for the borrower’s repayment of funds to us. In some circles, short-term high-interest collateralized lending is referred to as “hard-money lending.”

Our clients include real estate owners, business owners, home redevelopers, high net worth individuals, professional associations and insurance settlements. (Source: Free Writing Prospectus filed July 28, 2022.)

**Note: In the prospectus, Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. says: 

(1) “We have also agreed to issue the Representative warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Representative’s Warrants”), to pay the Representative 1.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering as a non-accountable expense, to reimburse the underwriters for certain accountable expenses up to $150,000, and to provide other rights to the Representative. See “Underwriting” beginning on page 58 for additional information regarding underwriting compensation.
(2) The amount of offering proceeds presented in this table does not give effect to the underwriters’ over-allotment option we have granted to the underwriters as described below, the shares of common stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants, or proceeds from the exercise of Representative’s Warrants.
