**SONIDA SENIOR LIVING, INC.** 

We are one of the leading owner-operators of senior housing communities in the United States in terms of resident capacity. We and our predecessors have provided senior housing since 1990. As of March 31, 2026, we owned, managed, or invested in 165 senior housing communities with over 16,400 total units across 35 states, including 153 owned senior housing communities (inclusive of 54 managed by third-party property managers, 15 leased pursuant to triple-net leases, three owned through a joint venture investment in a consolidated entity and four owned through a joint venture investment in an unconsolidated entity) and 12 communities that we managed on behalf of a third-party.

We generally provide residential housing and services to people aged 75 years and older, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. Many of our communities offer a continuum of care to meet our residents' needs as they change over time by integrating independent living, assisted living, and memory care, which may be bridged by home care through independent home care agencies. Our integrated approach sustains residents' autonomy and independence based on their physical and cognitive abilities.

Our principal executive office is located at 14755 Preston Road, Suite 810, Dallas, Texas 75254. Our phone number is (972) 770-5600 and our website address is www.sonidaseniorliving.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

**RISK FACTORS** 

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, in addition to the other information, documents or reports included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider the risk factors in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in any prospectus supplement as well as in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in their entirety, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These risks, and additional risks not known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. For more information, see the sections entitled "Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference."

**WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION; INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE** 

**Available Information** 

This prospectus and any prospectus supplement are part of a registration statement that we filed with the SEC and do not contain all of the information in the registration statement. The full registration statement may be obtained from the SEC or us, as provided below. Other documents establishing the terms of the offered shares of common stock are or may be filed as exhibits to the registration statement or documents incorporated by reference in the registration statement. Statements in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement about these documents are summaries and each statement is qualified in all respects by reference to the document to which it refers. You should refer to the actual documents for a more complete description of the relevant matters. You may inspect a copy of the registration statement through the SEC's website, as provided below.

We file reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. These filings include our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements on Schedule 14A, as well as any amendments to those reports and proxy statements. The SEC maintains a web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information about issuers, such as us, who file electronically with the SEC. The address of that website is http://www.sec.gov. Those filings are also available to the public on, or accessible through, our website under the heading "Investor Relations" at www.sonidaseniorliving.com. The information contained on or accessible through our corporate website or any other website that we may maintain is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and you should not rely on any such information in making your decision whether to purchase shares of our common stock.

**Incorporation by Reference** 

The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" into this prospectus the information we have filed with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you without actually including the specific information in this prospectus by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus and information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. Therefore, before you decide to invest in our securities, you should always check for reports we may have filed with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. We incorporate by reference into this prospectus (1) the documents listed below that we have previously filed with the SEC (file number 001-13445) and (2) any future filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act following the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering covered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, in each case other than information furnished to the SEC (including information furnished under Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K and any corresponding information furnished with respect to such Items under Item 9.01 or as an exhibit), which is not deemed filed under the Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus:

**Authorized Capitalization** 

As of June 5, 2026, our authorized capital stock consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of June 5, 2026, there were 47,367,303 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.

**Common Stock** 

Subject to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and limitations prescribed by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded, we may issue our common stock from time to time upon such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by our Board. Generally, the issuance of common stock, up to the aggregate amounts authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation and any limitations prescribed by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded, will not require approval of our stockholders.

*Voting Rights* 

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally, including the election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights, meaning that the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

*Dividend Rights* 

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise), subject to any rights and preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, but only when and as declared by our Board out of the assets legally available for dividend payments.

*Liquidation Rights* 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after there is paid to or set aside for the holders of any class of stock having preference over our common stock the full amount to which such holders are entitled, then the holders of our common stock will be entitled, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company, to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them.

*Other Matters* 

Our common stock carries no preemptive or other subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock and is not convertible, redeemable or assessable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
material change in the principal business of the Company, entry into an agreement with respect to, or consummation of, any acquisition of another business involving the payment, contribution or assignment by or to the Company of money or assets in an amount exceeding $10,000,000, issuances of equity representing a value or number of shares equal to 20% or more of outstanding shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis as of November 3, 2021 (the date of the original investor rights agreement between the Company and affiliates of Conversant), sale of equity securities of any subsidiary of the Company to a third-party, changes of control, liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy filings, certain dividends or redemptions on junior equity, incurring new indebtedness (other than refinancing existing indebtedness) such that the aggregate indebtedness following therefrom is in excess of 105% of the aggregate indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31 of the prior year, or authorizing or issuing parity stock, Series A Preferred Stock or senior stock, in each case as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. Prior to the Beneficial Ownership Threshold Date, Silk also has the right to designate one Investor Board Representative.

The "Beneficial Ownership Threshold Date" is defined as (i) on or prior to the date of the Company's 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, the date on which the Conversant Entities or Silk, together with its affiliates (the "Silk Entities"), as applicable, beneficially own less than the lesser of (a) 4% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis or (b) the number of shares of our common stock held by the Silk Entities on March 11, 2026 (proportionately adjusted for any subdivision or combination of our common stock by stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) and (ii) following the date of the Company's 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, the date on which the Conversant Entities or the Silk Entities, as applicable, beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis.

For so long as Conversant Fund A or Silk have the right to designate an Investor Board Representative to be nominated to the Board, members of the Board other than the Investor Board Representative(s) have the exclusive right to designate persons on behalf of the Board for election at annual stockholders meetings for, or to fill vacancies in, all director positions, other than the Investor Board Representative(s). As of the date of this prospectus, Conversant Fund A has designated Benjamin P. Harris, Robert T. Grove, and Michael Simanovsky as Conversant's Investor Board Representatives, with Mr. Simanovsky as the Chairman of the Board, and Silk has designated Sam Levinson as Silk's Investor Board Representative.

Each of the Conversant Parties has preemptive rights, for so long as the Conversant Entities beneficially own at least 14.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis, subject to certain exceptions.

*Standstill; No Transfer Restrictions* 

For a period of 18 months following the date of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Investors are subject to standstill provisions pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, they are prohibited from directly or indirectly (i) submitting stockholder proposals, taking any action to nominate directors, remove directors or change the composition of the Board (in each case, other than Investor Board Representatives appointed by Conversant Fund A or Silk, as applicable), engaging in any proxy solicitation with respect to our common stock or (ii) initiating or proposing a call for a special meeting of the Company's stockholders. Shares of our common stock issued to the Conversant Investors and Silk pursuant to those certain Investment Agreements, each dated November 4, 2025, between the Company and each such investor are not subject to contractual transfer restrictions.

**Registration Rights Agreement** 

On March 10, 2026, the Company and the Investors entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was required to file this shelf registration statement registering the resale of up to 17,109,184 shares of common stock held by or issuable to the Investors (the "Registrable Securities").

Furthermore, the Conversant Parties and the Silk Parties will have piggyback registration rights when the Company proposes to register its equity securities. The Company will be required to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements and any such offerings, other than underwriting discounts and commissions on the sale of Registrable Securities. For so long as the Conversant Parties or the Silk Parties, as applicable, beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on an as-converted basis, they will agree to enter into customary lock-up agreements in connection with any underwritten public offering of the Company's equity securities (with the applicable lock-up period not to exceed 60 days) with managing underwriters of such offering. The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the date when all Registrable Securities have been sold, and (b) the later of (i) the date when the Conversant Parties or the Silk Parties, as applicable, are able to sell all of their securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, without being subject to volume or manner of sale limitations thereunder and (ii) the Conversant Parties or the Silk Parties, as applicable, together with their affiliates, collectively beneficially own less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on an as-converted basis.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.4 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

**Warrants** 

In connection with certain financing transactions completed in November 2021, the Company issued to the Conversant Fund A and Conversant Fund B an aggregate of 1,031,250 warrants, each evidencing the right to purchase one share of common stock at a price per share of $40.00, subject to certain adjustments. The warrants may be exercised (which may be on a "cashless exercise" basis) until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 3, 2027.

**Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware General Corporation Law** 

Our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are designed to, among other things, discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board in hopes of improving the terms of any such takeover bids.

*Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock* 

As of June 5, 2026, we had 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. Due to our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock, the Board may be able to discourage or make any attempt to obtain control of us more difficult.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders.* 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and may not be taken by the written consent of our stockholders, unless such consent is unanimous.

In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may, subject to the rights of holders of any series of our preferred stock and unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be called only by our Board, the Chairman of our Board or stockholders possessing at least 25% of the voting power of the Company's issued and outstanding voting stock. Only business within the purposes described in the notice of special meeting delivered in connection with any such special meeting may be conducted at such special meeting.

*Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws* 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, in addition to any affirmative vote required by applicable law, and subject to the rights granted to or held by any holders of any series of our preferred stock, an amendment thereof must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the Company's issued and outstanding voting stock, with certain exceptions.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws grant our Board the power to adopt, amend and repeal our Bylaws upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the whole Board. Our stockholders may also adopt, amend or repeal our Bylaws by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of our issued and outstanding voting stock.

*Classified Board; Election and Removal of Directors* 

Our directors are divided into three (3) classes serving staggered three-year terms, with only one (1) class being elected each year by our stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. Directors may be removed only for cause and by the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of capital stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, a vacancy on our Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy serves for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.

The number of directors on our Board generally will be fixed exclusively by, and may be increased or decreased exclusively by, our Board, subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, but in no event will be less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15).

*Advance Notice Procedures for Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals* 

The Bylaws provide the manner in which stockholders may give notice of business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board. In order for any matter to be "properly brought" before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide the Company with certain information.

*Delaware Anti-Takeover Law* 

We are a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 prevents an "interested stockholder," which is defined generally as a person who, together with his, her or its affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock, from engaging

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
in a broad range of "business combinations" with the corporation for three (3) years after becoming an interested stockholder unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the board of directors of the corporation had previously approved either the business combination or the
transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that
person owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and shares owned in employee stock plans in which participants
do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock, which is not owned by the interested stockholder;

The above description of Section 203 of the DGCL is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 203 of the DGCL.

*Exclusive Forum* 

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district court for the District of Delaware (or, if the federal district court for the District of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

**SELLING STOCKHOLDERS** 

This prospectus covers the resale or other disposition from time to time, in one or more offerings, by the Selling Stockholders identified in the table below of up to an aggregate of 17,109,184 shares of common stock, which were acquired by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the following transactions: (a) certain financing transactions in November 2021, including a private placement transaction involving the issuance of warrants and a rights offering; (b) private placement transactions pursuant to an equity commitment agreement, dated June 29, 2023; (c) a private placement transaction that occurred in two closings on February 1, 2024 and March 22, 2024; (d) an underwritten public offering that closed on August 19, 2024; (e) certain open market purchases of our common stock in October 2024 and January 2025; and (f) private placement transactions that closed on March 11, 2026.

We are registering the above-referenced shares to permit the Selling Stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest that receive their shares after the date of this prospectus to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares in the manner contemplated under section titled "Plan of Distribution" herein.

The following table sets forth information concerning the shares of common stock that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Stockholder. The number of shares beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the Selling Stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 47,367,303 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 5, 2026. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder and their percentage ownership, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such Selling Stockholder that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of June 5, 2026 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other Selling Stockholder. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Stockholders will have sold all of the shares covered by this prospectus upon the completion of one or more offerings. Each of the Selling Stockholders listed has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder unless noted otherwise.

The applicable prospectus supplement will disclose whether any of the Selling Stockholders has held any position or office with, has been employed by or otherwise has had a material relationship with us during the three years prior to the date of such prospectus supplement.

The information in the following table has been provided to us by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders and the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their shares after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their shares. A Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of its shares from time to time in one or more offerings. See the section titled "Plan of Distribution."

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION** 

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of
such securities at a stipulated price per security;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a combination of any such methods of sale; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date when all of the securities covered by this prospectus have been sold, and (ii) the later of the date on which (A) each Selling Stockholder is able to sell the securities covered by this prospectus without restriction (including any volume limitation) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and (B) each Selling Stockholder together with its affiliates collectively beneficially own less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

**PART II** 

**INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS** 

**Item 14. *Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution*** 

The following is an estimate (other than the SEC registration fee) of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  SEC registration fee | $45619.93 |
|  Accounting fees and expenses | \* |
|  Legal fees and expenses | \* |
|  Printing expenses | \* |
|  Miscellaneous fees and expenses | \* |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Total** | $\* |

---

\* These fees are calculated based on the number of issuances and accordingly cannot be estimated at this time.

**Item 15. *Indemnification of Directors and Officers*** 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under Section 145. We expect to maintain policies insuring our and our subsidiaries' officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Article Twelfth of our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of each of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable; provided, however, that such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability (i) for any breach of such director's or officer's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Title 8, Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (pertaining to certain prohibited acts including unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), as the same exists or as such provision may hereafter be

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
amended, supplemented or replaced, (iv) for any transactions from which such director or officer derived an improper personal benefit or (v) of an officer in any action by or in the right of the Company. In addition, Article Twelfth provides that each of our directors or officers will not be personally liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law that further limits the liability of a director and officers and is enacted after the adoption of our Certificate of Incorporation.

Article Thirteenth of our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of us or (ii) while a director or officer of us, is or was serving at the request of us as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. For purposes of Article Thirteenth, a "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding. Such right includes the right to be paid by us for expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such individual in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The foregoing discussion of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of Incorporation is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statute and such Certificate of Incorporation filed with the SEC.

We have obtained a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy insuring our directors and officers against certain losses resulting from wrongful acts committed by them as our directors and officers, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide our directors and executive officers with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides for indemnification by the Selling Stockholders of us and our officers, directors and control persons, and by us of the Selling Stockholders, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with the offering by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of common stock covered hereby.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and the Registration Rights Agreement, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore is unenforceable.

**Item 17. *Undertakings*** 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

*provided*, *however*, that subparagraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii), and (1)(iii) above do not apply if information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of
and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in
Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which
the prospectus related, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. *Provided*, *however*, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior
to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial *bona fide* offering thereof.

(6) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: <u>Registration Statement on Form S-3</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Sonida Senior Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>").
