**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

On January 30, 2026, stockholders of CaliberCos Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to CaliberCos Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), for the registration by the Company of a total of 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("<u>Shares</u>") issuable under the CaliberCos, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "<u>Plan</u>"). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

As such counsel and for purposes of our opinions set forth below, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, resolutions, certificates and instruments of the Company and corporate records furnished to us by the Company, certificates of public officials, statutes, records and such other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below.

In such examination and in rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us, (ii) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities (other than the Company) executing all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us, (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as originals, (iv) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic or other copies conform to authentic originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete, (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents by all parties thereto (other than the Company), (vi) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion set forth below are true and correct, and (vii) that the officers and directors of the Company have properly exercised their fiduciary duties. We also have obtained from the officers of the Company certificates as to certain factual matters necessary for the purpose of this opinion and, insofar as this opinion is based on such matters of fact, we have relied solely on such certificates without independent investigation. We have also assumed that the Shares will be issued and sold as described in the Registration Statement and the applicable provisions of the Plan.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor in conformity with the terms of the Plan, assuming in each case that the individual issuance, grants or awards under the Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly issued, granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of the law and the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

## Exhibit 99.2

**Exhibit 99.2**

AMENDMENT TO THE

CALIBERCOS INC.

2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

THIS AMENDMENT (the "Amendment") to the CaliberCos Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), is made and adopted by CaliberCos Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

<u>W I T N E S S E T H:</u>

WHEREAS, the Company previously adopted the Plan, under which the Company is authorized to grant equity-based awards;

WHEREAS, Sections 10.1 and 10.2 of the Plan provide that the Company's board of directors (the "Board") may amend the Plan from time to time, except that any amendment relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock must be approved by the stockholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board now desires to amend the Plan to change the number of shares of Common Stock available for the grant of awards under the Plan and to provide for evergreen increases under the Plan in future years until the ten (10) year anniversary of the Plan, subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders, the Plan shall be amended as set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Section 4.1 of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment, as provided in Section 4.3, the total number of Shares available for grant under the Plan shall be one million two hundred (1,200,000). Shares granted under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or reacquired Shares bought on the market or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the first day of each month commencing January 1, 2027, or the first business day of the calendar year if the first day of the calendar year falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the number of Shares eligible for Awards under the Plan will automatically increase in an amount equal to 15% of the total number of Shares outstanding as of December 31st of the preceding fiscal year.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that except as amended hereby, the Plan shall continue to read in the current state and is specifically ratified and reaffirmed.

[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank]
