**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

This Registration Statement is being filed solely for the purpose of registering 6,000,000 additional shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (the "Registrant") to be offered to participants under the DigitalBridge Group, Inc. 2024 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended effective May 28, 2026 (the "Omnibus Plan"). On April 24, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved an amendment to the Omnibus Plan (the "Amendment") to increase the shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan by 6,000,000, subject to the approval of the Registrant's stockholders. On May 28, 2026, the Registrant's stockholders approved the Amendment. This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed in order to register such shares. Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference the contents of the Registrant's prior Registration Statement on Form S-8 ([File No. 333-278991](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1679688/000110465924054142/tm2412718d1_s8.htm)) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 29, 2024 relating to the Omnibus Plan.

**PART I**

**INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS**

The documents containing the information specified in Part I will be sent or given to the persons participating in the Omnibus Plan, as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In accordance with the instructions to Part I of Form S-8, such documents will not be filed with the SEC either as part of this registration statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this registration statement, taken together, constitute the prospectus as required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

**PART II**

**INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT** 

**Item 3.** **Incorporation of Documents by Reference.** 

The SEC allows the Registrant to "incorporate by reference" the information the Registrant files with the SEC, which means that the Registrant can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Registration Statement, and later information filed with (rather than furnished to) the SEC will update and supersede this information. The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the SEC:

(1) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on [February 26, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679688/000167968826000021/dbrg-20251231.htm) ;

(2) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on [April 28, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1679688/000167968826000056/dbrg-20260331.htm) ;

(4) The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on [April 23, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679688/000110465926047803/tm2612488d1_8k.htm) , [May 15, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679688/000167968826000059/dbrg-20260511.htm) and [May 27, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679688/000110465926066617/tm2615653d1_8k.htm) ; and

(5) The description of the Registrant's Class A common stock under the caption "Description of Colony NorthStar Capital Stock" included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-212739), initially filed with the SEC on [July 29, 2016](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1679688/000104746916014528/a2229254zs-4.htm) , as updated by [Exhibit 4.5](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1679688/000167968824000021/exhibit45dbrg2023q4.htm) to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2024 and including any other amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such descriptions.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on or after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrant is not incorporating by reference any documents, portions of documents, exhibits or other information that is deemed to have been furnished to, rather than filed with, the SEC.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement, or in any other subsequently filed document that also is incorporated or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, modifies or supersedes such prior statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

**Item 4.** **Description of Securities.** 

Not applicable.

**Item 5.** **Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.**

Not applicable.

**Item 6.** **Indemnification of Officers and Directors.** 

The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the
act or omission was unlawful.

However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses.

In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a written undertaking by the director or on the director's behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed
by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct.

Our charter and bylaws obligate us, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any present or former director or officer who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding
by reason of his or her service in that capacity; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any individual who, while a director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served
another corporation, REIT, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner
or trustee of such corporation, REIT, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or
threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

Our charter and bylaws also require us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of ours in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of our company or a predecessor of our company.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**Item 7.** **Exemption from Registration Claimed.** 

Not applicable.

\* Filed herewith.

**Item 9.** **Undertakings.** 

A. 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:

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

(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 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;

(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 paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the 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 this 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.

B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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.

C. 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.

**SIGNATURES** 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Boca Raton, State of Florida, on May 29, 2026.
