Amendment No. 1 dated October 4, 2021

To Prospectus Supplement dated September 10, 2021

(To Prospectus dated May 6, 2020)

CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION

Up to 2,409,658 Shares of Common Stock

Issuable Upon Exercise of Rights to Subscribe for Such Shares at $30.00 per Share

Capital Senior Living Corporation (the “Company”), a leading owner-operator of senior living communities across the United States, is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Prospectus Supplement which updates, amends and supplements certain information contained in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement dated September 10, 2021. On September 10, 2021 (the “Record Date”), we distributed to holders of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), one nontransferable subscription right (a “Right”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock (the “Rights Offering”) for each share of Common Stock held as of the Record Date, and mailed subscription materials, including the prospectus supplement and rights certificates, to holders of our Common Stock as of the Record Date. On October 1, 2021, we announced that we were amending certain terms of the Rights Offering and extending the expiration date.

Each Right now entitles the holder to purchase 1.1 shares of Common Stock for every share of our Common Stock owned on the Record Date at an amended cash subscription price of $30.00 per share (the “Subscription Price”). Rights holders who fully exercise their Rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of our Common Stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised Rights. The oversubscription privilege allows a rights holder to subscribe for an additional amount of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and pro rata allocations. Rights may only be exercised for whole numbers of shares of our Common Stock; no fractional shares of our Common Stock will be issued in this offering. Fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

On October 1, 2021, following significant engagement with the Company’s stockholders, the Company announced that it had entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “A&R Investment Agreement”) with affiliates of Conversant Capital LLC (“Conversant”). Under the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement, which replaces in its entirety the previous investment agreement with Conversant (the “the Original Investment Agreement”), the Company will raise approximately $154.8 million through (i) the issuance to Conversant of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”) and (ii) this offering with an amended subscription price of $30 per share and an amended subscription right of 1.1 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned as of the Record Date. Conversant will also provide an incremental $25 million accordion for future investment at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions.

Conversant and Arbiter Partners QP, LP (“Arbiter”), which beneficially owned 13.5% of our Common Stock as of the Record Date, have agreed to backstop the Rights Offering through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at the Subscription Price (the “Backstop Commitment”) pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and the Rights Offering Backstop and Participation Agreement (the “Backstop and Participation Agreement”), dated October 1, 2021, among the Company, Arbiter and Silk Partners, LP (“Silk”). In addition, pursuant to the Backstop and Participation Agreement, Silk, which beneficially owned 15.2% of our Common Stock as of the record date for the Special Meeting, has agreed to exercise at least the number of Rights issued in respect of the Common Stock owned directly and beneficially by them as of the record date for the Special Meeting and Arbiter has agreed to exercise Rights to purchase $5 million of Common Stock in this offering.

In consideration for their backstop commitments, the Company has agreed to pay a backstop fee to Conversant of 174,675 shares of Common Stock and to Arbiter of 17,292 shares of Common Stock (together with the Backstop Commitment, the “Backstop Issuance”).

The Rights will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2021 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended as described herein. We may extend the period for exercising the Rights, subject to the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement, including to provide additional time for our stockholders to approve the Charter

Amendment and Backstop Issuance (each as defined below). Rights that are not exercised prior to the Expiration Date will expire and have no value. There is no minimum number of shares of our Common Stock that we must sell in order to complete this offering. Holders of Rights who exercised their Rights on or before October 4, 2021 must complete and submit a new rights certificate in order to participate in the Rights Offering. Any amounts previously submitted by such holders to cover the applicable Subscription Price will be returned.

Our shares of Common Stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CSU.” The closing price of our shares of Common Stock on October 1, 2021 was $33.68 per share. The Rights are non-transferable and will not be listed for trading on the NYSE or any other securities exchange or automated quotation system.

The consummation of this offering is conditioned upon obtaining the requisite stockholder approval to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 4,333,334 shares to 15,000,000 shares (the “Charter Amendment”), obtaining the requisite stockholder approval of the Backstop Issuance, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement. We will be holding a Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on the Charter Amendment, the Private Placement (as defined herein), the Backstop Issuance and certain other matters, on October 22, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). For more information regarding the Special Meeting, please refer to our Definitive on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 31, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”) and is incorporated herein by reference and the Amendment to the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Amendment”, and together with the Proxy Statement, the “Amended Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 4, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference. This offering will not be completed if the Company does not receive stockholder approval for the Charter Amendment or the Backstop Issuance and does not consummate the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement.

Silk, Arbiter and Kimberly Lody, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company representing ownership of approximately 32% of the Common Stock, have each signed voting agreements with Conversant pursuant to which they have each agreed to vote in favor of the proposals at the Special Meeting.

None of the Company, our board of directors, or any committee thereof, makes any recommendation to stockholders regarding whether they should exercise or let lapse their Rights.

This offering is being made directly by us. We are not using an underwriter or selling agent. We have engaged Georgeson LLC to serve as our information agent (the “Information Agent”) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. to serve as our subscription agent (the “Subscription Agent”) for this offering. The Subscription Agent will hold the funds we receive from subscribers until we complete or cancel this offering.

In no event will any stockholder be issued any shares of Common Stock in violation of applicable law.

Exercising the Rights and investing in our Common Stock involves significant risks. We urge you to read carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this amendment, the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-5 of the prospectus supplement, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and all other information included or incorporated by reference in the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and this amendment in its entirety before you decide whether to exercise your Rights.

Neither the SEC, nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus supplement or this amendment. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this amendment no.1 to prospectus supplement is October 4, 2021

The answers are based on selected information from this amendment, the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this amendment, the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. The following questions and answers do not contain all of the information that may be important to you and may not address all of the questions that you may have about the offering. This amendment, the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this amendment, the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus contain more detailed descriptions of the terms and conditions of the offering and provide additional information about us and our Common Stock.

Exercising the Rights and investing in our Common Stock involves significant risks. We urge you to read carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this amendment, the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of the prospectus supplement, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and all other information included or incorporated by reference in the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and this amendment in its entirety before you decide whether to exercise your Rights.

What is this offering?

This offering is a distribution of Rights on a pro rata basis to our stockholders who held shares of our Common Stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 10, 2021, the Record Date. Each holder of our Common Stock was issued one non-transferable Right which now entitles the holder thereof to purchase 1.1 shares of Common Stock for each share of our Common Stock owned on the Record Date at the amended Subscription Price of $30.00 per share. Rights may only be exercised for whole numbers of shares of our Common Stock; no fractional shares of our Common Stock will be issued in this offering. Fractional Shares (if any) will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Why are we conducting this offering?

On October 1, 2021, following significant engagement with the Company’s stockholders, the Company announced that it had entered into the A&R Investment Agreement with Conversant. Under the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement, which replaces in its entirety the previous investment agreement with Conversant, the Company will raise approximately $154.8 million through (i) the issuance to Conversant of Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock and the Warrants and (ii) this offering with an amended subscription price of $30 per share and an amended subscription right of 1.1 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned as of the Record Date. Conversant will also provide an incremental $25 million accordion for future investment at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions.

Why were the terms of this offering amended?

The terms of this offering were amended in connection with the execution of the A&R Investment Agreement.

The Board considered a number of factors in connection with the Private Placement and this offering, including the following:

• Half of the Private Placement will now be in the form of Common Stock, which provides for less Series A Preferred Stock and results in Conversant being better aligned with existing shareholders.

• The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are improved, with a fixed dividend rate of 11.00% per annum and the ability to force conversion after 3.5 years.

• The Private Placement and this offering provide for certainty of proceeds as a result of the Rights Offering being fully backstopped by Conversant and Arbiter. This provides the Company with certainty of the total capital raise amount which is important given the Company’s liquidity concerns.

S-v

• The Rights Offering will be backstopped with Common Stock, which eliminates the possibility of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock being issued in the Transactions and guarantees that more than $113 million will be raised from the sale of Common Stock.

• Silk and Arbiter, two of the Company’s largest shareholders, who own approximately 15.2% and 13.5%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock as of the record date for the Special Meeting, support the Private Placement and this offering and have agreed to vote in favor of all of each at the Special Meeting. Silk and Arbiter have also agreed to participate in and, in the case of Arbiter, backstop the Rights Offering.

What is a Right?

Each Right now entitles its holder the opportunity to purchase 1.1 shares of our Common Stock for every share of Common Stock held as of 5:00pm on the Record Date at a subscription price of $30.00 per share. Each Right carries with it a basic subscription privilege and an oversubscription privilege.

For example, if you owned 100 shares of our Common Stock as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date, your Rights would now entitle you to purchase a total of 110 shares of our Common Stock for a total Subscription Price of $3,300. Subject to the limitations described above, you may exercise some or all of your Rights, or you may choose not to exercise any Rights at all.

How was the Subscription Price determined?

The Subscription Price was determined pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and as part of a thorough and lengthy process to explore strategic alternatives and seek financing sources for the Company to address its liquidity needs and to fund growth strategies led by our board of directors, with the assistance of the Company’s financial advisor, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.

Have any stockholders indicated whether they intend to participate in this offering?

Yes. Pursuant to the Backstop and Participation Agreement, Silk has agreed to exercise at least the number of Rights issued in respect of the Common Stock owned directly and beneficially by them as of the record date for the Special Meeting. Arbiter has agreed to exercise Rights to purchase $5 million of Common Stock in this offering.

What are Conversant and Arbiter’s backstop arrangements?

Pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement, Conversant has agreed to backstop up to $50.5 million of the Rights Offering through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at $30 per share on the terms and conditions set forth therein in exchange for a backstop fee of 174,675 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Backstop and Participation Agreement, Arbiter has agreed to exercise at least $5 million of Rights. In addition, pursuant to the Backstop and Participation Agreement, Conversant has agreed to backstop up to $50.5 million of the Rights Offering and Arbiter has agreed to backstop up to $5 million of the Rights Offering, in each case through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at $30 per share, on the terms set forth in the Backstop and Participation Agreement, in exchange for a backstop fee of 17,292 shares of Common Stock.

Why is there a backstop to the rights offering?

We obtained the commitments of Conversant and Arbiter to act as backstop purchasers to provide the Company with certainty of the amount of aggregate gross proceeds from this offering. The commitments by Silk and Arbiter to participate in the Rights Offering together with the backstop commitments of Conversant and Arbiter will provide commitments for the full $72.3 million in the Rights Offering.

What effects will this offering and the A&R Investment Agreement have on my Common Stock?

Your ownership interest will be diluted in the offering to the extent you do not exercise your Rights. In addition, the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant and Arbiter in the Backstop Commitment and the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant in the Common Stock Sale (as defined herein) will be

S-vi

dilutive to existing stockholders. Further, the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants that will be sold to Conversant in the Private Placement, when exercised, will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution of their voting rights as a result of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Conversant.

The Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants and Common Stock to be sold to Conversant in the Private Placement and pursuant to the Equity Accordion and the Backstop Issuance will initially represent between 2,855,925 and 6,195,806 shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis (depending on the amount of the Equity Accordion that is funded, the amount of the Backstop Commitment that is exercised and the number of Warrants that are exercised), which would represent approximately 38.2% and 67.9% of our Common Stock immediately after the Private Placement and this offering on an as-converted basis. The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, will increase to the extent the Board does not declare and pay the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in cash in respect of any quarterly payment date.

How soon must I act to exercise my Rights?

If your shares of our Common Stock are registered in your name and you elect to exercise any or all of your Rights, the Subscription Agent must receive your properly completed and duly executed rights certificate or the transfer of your Rights by Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as applicable, all other required subscription documents and full subscription payment, including final clearance of any uncertified check, before this offering expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, which is October 27, 2021, unless the Expiration Date is extended.

If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, your nominee may establish an earlier deadline before the expiration of this offering by which time you must provide the nominee with your instructions and payment to exercise your Rights. The Company will not accept rights certificates delivered via notice of guaranteed delivery.

What if I already exercised my Rights?

Holders of Rights who exercised their Rights on or before October 4, 2021 must complete and submit a new rights certificate in order to participate in the Rights Offering. Any amounts previously submitted by such holders to cover the applicable Subscription Price will be returned.

When will I receive my shares of the Company’s Common Stock?

It is anticipated that delivery of the shares of Common Stock purchased in this offering will be made on or about November 3, 2021 (the fifth business day following the Expiration Date), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing under the A&R Investment Agreement, unless the Expiration Date is extended.

How much money will the Company receive from this offering and the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement and how will such proceeds be used?

We expect to receive aggregate gross proceeds from this offering and the other transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement of $154.8 million and aggregate net proceeds of approximately $140.8 million, after deducting estimated transaction expenses (or $221.1 million and approximately $207.1 million, respectively, if the Equity Accordion and the Warrants are exercised in full).

We intend to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement, the Backstop Commitment, and this offering for working capital, to repay debt and to fund accretive growth projects. See “Use of Proceeds.”

The Offering

Rights We distributed, at no charge to the holders of our Common Stock on September 10, 2021, non-transferable Rights to purchase shares of our Common Stock. Those Rights now entitle the holders of our Common Stock the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,409,658 new shares of our Common Stock. Each non-transferable Right entitles the holder to purchase 1.1 shares of Common Stock for every share of our Common Stock owned on the Record Date. Holders of Rights who exercised their Rights on or before October 4, 2021 must complete and submit a new rights certificate in order to participate in the Rights Offering.

Basic Subscription Privilege Each Right now entitles the rights holder to purchase 1.1 shares of our Common Stock at the Subscription Price of $30.00 per share.

Oversubscription Privilege Rights holders who fully exercise their basic subscription privilege will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of our Common Stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised Rights. If sufficient remaining shares of our Common Stock are available, all oversubscription requests will be honored in full. Shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to the oversubscription privilege are subject to certain limitations and pro rata allocations. See the section entitled “The Offering—Oversubscription Privilege” beginning on page S-19 of the prospectus supplement.

Subscription Price $30.00 per share.

Record Date September 10, 2021

Expiration Date The Rights will expire, if not exercised, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2021, unless extended by us, in accordance with the A&R Investment Agreement. We may extend the Expiration Date if stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment or Backstop Issuance is not obtained on or prior to the previously scheduled Expiration Date.

Conditions to the Offering The offering is being made pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment, the Backstop Issuance and the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement. See the section entitled “The Offering— Conditions to the Offering” beginning on page S-19 of the prospectus supplement.

A&R Investment Agreement On October 1, following significant engagement with the Company’s stockholders, the Company announced that it had entered into the A&R Investment Agreement with Conversant. Under the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement, which replaces in its entirety the previous investment agreement with Conversant, the Company will raise approximately $154.8 million through (i) the issuance to

S-3

Conversant of Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock and the Warrants and (ii) this offering with an amended subscription price of $30 per share and an amended subscription right of 1.1 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned as of the Record Date. Conversant will also provide an incremental $25 million accordion for future investment at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions. See “Description of the Transaction Documents—A&R Investment Agreement.”

Backstop Conversant and Arbiter have agreed to backstop the Rights Offering through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at the Subscription Price pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and the Backstop and Participation Agreement. See “The Offering—Backstop Commitment.”

Backstop Fee In consideration for their backstop commitments, the Company has agreed to pay a backstop fee to Conversant of 174,675 shares of Common Stock and to Arbiter of 17,292 shares of Common Stock.

Issuance of Our Common Stock We will issue shares purchased in the offering as soon as practicable after the expiration of the offering. It is anticipated that delivery of the shares purchased in the offering will be made on or about November 3, 2021 (the fifth business day following the Expiration Date), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing under the A&R Investment Agreement, unless the Expiration Date is extended. All shares that are purchased in the offering will be issued in uncertificated book-entry form, meaning that you will receive a direct registration account statement from our transfer agent reflecting ownership of these securities if you are a holder of record. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, DTC will credit your nominee with the securities you purchased in the offering.

Shares Outstanding After Completion of the Offering and the Private Placement We expect that there will be between 7,473,465 and 9,129,725 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following the consummation of this offering and the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement on an as-converted basis (depending on the amount of the Equity Accordion that is funded and the number of Warrants that are exercised).

For additional information concerning the Rights and our Common Stock, see the section entitled “The Offering” of this amendment and the prospectus supplement and “Description of Capital Stock” in the prospectus accompanying this amendment.

RISK FACTORS

Exercising your Rights and investing in our Common Stock involves risks. Before you decide whether to invest in our Common Stock, in addition to the other information, documents or reports included in or incorporated by reference into this amendment, the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which are incorporated by reference into this 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.

Any of the risks we describe below or in the information incorporated herein by reference could cause our business, financial condition or operating results to suffer. The market price of our Common Stock could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties develop into actual events. You could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Some of the statements in this section of the prospectus are forward-looking statements. For more information see the sections of this amendment, the prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The following risks are in addition to the risks contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of the prospectus supplement.

Risks Related to the Offering and the A&R Investment Agreement

The Subscription Price determined for this offering may not be indicative of the fair value of our Common Stock.

The Subscription Price was determined pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and you should not consider the Subscription Price as an indication of the value of our Common Stock. The Subscription Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, net worth, past operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition or any other established criteria for fair value.

On October 1, 2021, the last trading day before the date of this prospectus supplement, the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE was $33.68 per share. After the date of this amendment, our Common Stock may trade at prices above or below the Subscription Price. The market price of our Common Stock could be higher or lower than the Subscription Price at the closing of this offering and decline after this offering. You may not be able to sell shares of our Common Stock purchased in this offering at a price equal to or greater than the Subscription Price, or at all.

This offering and the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline and it may not recover for a substantial period of time or at all.

The stock markets, including NYSE on which we have listed the shares of our Common Stock under the symbol “CSU,” have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Even if an active, liquid and orderly trading market is sustained for our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock may be volatile and could decline significantly. In addition, the trading volume in our Common Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. The number of shares of our Common Stock we are proposing to issue in this offering, the Backstop Commitment and Private Placement, together with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which will be convertible into Common Stock, and Warrants, which will be exercisable for Common

S-5

Stock, which we are proposing to issue in the Private Placement may result in an immediate further decrease in the market value of our Common Stock. Further, if a substantial number of Rights are exercised and the holders of the shares received upon exercise of those Rights choose to sell some or all of those shares, the resulting sales could further depress the market price of our Common Stock. We cannot assure you that the market price of our shares of Common Stock will not fluctuate further prior to the expiration of this offering or that, after shares of our Common Stock are issued upon exercise of Rights, a subscribing rights holder will be able to sell shares of our Common Stock purchased in this offering at a price greater than or equal to the Subscription Price.

Your interest in us will be diluted as a result of this offering, the Backstop Commitment and the Private Placement.

Your ownership interest will be diluted in this offering to the extent you do not exercise your Rights. In addition, the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant and Arbiter in the Backstop Commitment to the extent this offering is not fully subscribed and the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant in the Private Placement will be dilutive to existing stockholders. Further, the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants that will be sold to Conversant in the Private Placement, when exercised, will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution of their voting rights as a result of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Conversant.

Assuming full participation in the Rights Offering, we expect that our existing stockholders (including Silk and Arbiter) will own approximately 50.6% of our Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, full exercise of the Warrants and full exercise of the Equity Accordion) and Conversant will own shares of Common Stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants representing approximately 49.4% of our Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, full exercise of the Warrants and full exercise of the Equity Accordion), each on an as-converted basis.

The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and may increase as a result of increases in the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock in the event the board does not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any quarterly payment date, in each case as provided in the Certificate of Designations.

Stockholders who do not fully exercise their Rights should expect that they will, at the completion of this offering, own a smaller proportional interest in us than would otherwise be the case had they fully exercised their Rights.

We are not restricted from issuing additional Common Stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Stock, including any common stock that may be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Our pending investment by Conversant is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied, and may not be completed on a timely basis, or at all. Failure to complete the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement could have material and adverse effects on us.

The completion of our pending investment by Conversant is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of stockholder approval, which make the completion and timing of the completion of the transactions uncertain. Also, either we or Conversant may terminate the A&R Investment Agreement if the transactions

S-6

contemplated thereby have not been completed by January 31, 2022 unless the failure of the transactions to be completed has resulted from the failure of the party seeking to terminate the A&R Investment Agreement to perform its obligations.

If the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement are not completed on a timely basis, or at all, our ongoing business may be adversely affected. Additionally, in the event the investment by Conversant is not completed, we will be subject to a number of risks without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the transactions, including the following:

• If the A&R Investment Agreement is terminated, we may not be able to identify or complete a financing alternative that would be as beneficial to our capital structure as the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement. In light of our current capital constraints and near term mortgage maturities, failure to complete the transactions on our expected timeline could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern; and

• Time and resources committed by management to matters relating to the transactions could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities.

The consummation of the transactions under the A&R Investment Agreement is a condition to the consummation of this offering.

There can be no guarantee that the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement will be consummated.

The transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) the absence of any temporary restraining order, injunction, judgment, order or law retraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the transactions under the A&R Investment Agreement; (ii) the receipt of certain third-party consents; (iii) the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Private Placement, the Backstop Issuance and the Charter Amendment and the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment; (iv) the closing of this offering prior to or contemporaneously with the Backstop Commitment, Private Placement; and (v) the approval of the shares of Common Stock issued in the offering and the Common Stock Sale and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants for listing on NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement will be consummated. Failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement could have adverse effects on our business and results of operations.

The consummation of the transactions under the A&R Investment Agreement is a condition to the consummation of this offering.

There is no guarantee that stockholder approval to (i) amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company and (ii) to authorize the Backstop Issuance will be obtained.

The consummation of this offering is conditioned upon obtaining the requisite stockholder approval for both the Charter Amendment and the Backstop Issuance. We will be holding the Special Meeting to vote on the Private Placement, the Backstop Issuance and the Charter Amendment and certain other matters on October 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. For more information regarding the Special Meeting, please refer to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on August 31, 2021 and incorporated by reference herein and the Proxy Amendment, filed with the SEC on October 4, 2021 and incorporated by reference herein. This offering will not be completed if the Company does not receive stockholder approval for the Charter Amendment or the Backstop Issuance.

S-7

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive aggregate gross proceeds of $154.8 million and aggregate net proceeds of approximately $140.8 million, after deducting estimated transaction expenses (or $221.1 million and approximately $207.1 million, respectively, if the Equity Accordion and the Warrants are exercised in full).

Proceeds received from the Private Placement, the Backstop Commitment, and this offering for working capital, will be used to repay debt and to fund accretive growth projects.

THE OFFERING

Before deciding whether to exercise your Rights, you should carefully read this prospectus, including the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this amendment and beginning on page S-7 of the prospectus supplement and the information that is incorporated by reference into this amendment.

The Rights

We are issuing at no charge to the holders of our Common Stock on September 10, 2021 (the “Record Date”) non-transferable Rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,409,658 new shares of our Common Stock. Each such stockholder is being issued one non-transferable Right to purchase 1.1 shares of Common Stock for each share of our Common Stock owned as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Record Date. Each Right now entitles the rights holder to purchase 1.1 shares of our Common Stock at the Subscription Price of $30.00 per share. Rights may only be exercised for whole numbers of shares of our Common Stock; no fractional shares of our Common Stock will be issued in this offering. Fractional Shares (if any) will be rounded down to the nearest whole number with such adjustments as may be necessary to ensure that if all rights are exercised, we will receive gross proceeds of $72.3 million. Holders of Rights who exercised their Rights on or before October 4, 2021 must complete and submit a new rights certificate in order to participate in the Rights Offering. Any amounts previously submitted by such holders to cover the applicable Subscription Price will be returned.

Rights holders who fully exercise their Rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of our Common Stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised Rights. If sufficient remaining shares of our Common Stock are available, all oversubscription requests will be honored in full. Shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired pursuant to the oversubscription privilege are subject to certain limitations and pro rata allocations. See the section entitled “The Offering—Oversubscription Privilege” beginning on page S-19 of the prospectus supplement.

All exercises of Rights and oversubscription privileges are revocable, subject to receipt by the Subscription Agent of a revocation notice on or before the Expiration Date. See the section entitled “The Offering—Revocation, Withdrawal or Cancellation of Rights” beginning on page S-22 of the prospectus supplement.

The shares of our Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Rights are expected to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CSU.” The Rights will be evidenced by rights certificates which will be mailed to stockholders, except as discussed below under “Foreign Stockholders.”

There is no minimum number of Rights which must be exercised in order for this offering to close.

No Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional Shares or cash in lieu of fractional Shares. Fractional Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number with such adjustments as may be necessary to ensure that if all rights are exercised, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $72.3 million.

Reasons for the Amended Offering

The terms of this offering were amended in connection with the execution of the A&R Investment Agreement.

The Board considered a number of factors in connection with the Private Placement and this offering, including the following:

• Half of the Private Placement will now be in the form of Common Stock, which provides for less Series A Preferred Stock and results in Conversant being better aligned with existing shareholders.

S-10

• The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are improved, with a fixed dividend rate of 11.00% per annum and the ability to force conversion after 3.5 years.

• The Private Placement and this offering provide for certainty of proceeds as a result of the Rights Offering being fully backstopped by Conversant and Arbiter. This provides the Company with certainty of the total capital raise amount which is important given the Company’s liquidity concerns.

• The Rights Offering will be backstopped with Common Stock, which eliminates the possibility of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock being issued in the Transactions and guarantees that more than $113 million will be raised from the sale of Common Stock.

• Silk and Arbiter, two of the Company’s largest shareholders, who own approximately 15.2% and 13.5%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock as of the record date for the Special Meeting, support the Private Placement and this offering and have agreed to vote in favor of all of each at the Special Meeting. Silk and Arbiter have also agreed to participate in and, in the case of Arbiter, backstop the Rights Offering.

Expiration of this Offering

This offering will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2021, unless extended by us, and Rights may not be exercised thereafter. Rights that are not exercised prior to the Expiration Date will expire and have no value.

Amendment, Extension, Termination or Cancellation of the Offering

We reserve the right to amend, extend, terminate or cancel this offering on or prior to the Expiration Date for any reason, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Investment Agreement.

We may extend the period for exercising the Rights, subject to the terms of the A&R Investment Agreement described below. We may extend the Expiration Date if stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment or the Backstop Issuance is not obtained on or prior to the previously scheduled Expiration Date.

Any extension of this offering will be followed as promptly as practicable by announcement thereof, and in no event later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make such announcement, we will not, unless otherwise required by law, have any obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such announcement other than by issuing a press release or such other means of announcement as we deem appropriate.

We may cancel or terminate the offering, in whole or in part, at any time subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Investment Agreement. If we cancel or terminate the offering, in whole or in part, all affected Rights will expire without value, and all subscription payments received by the subscription agent will be returned promptly, without interest or deduction.

Participation and Backstop Commitments

Concurrently with the execution of the A&R Investment Agreement, the Company has entered into a Rights Offering Backstop and Participation Agreement (the “Backstop and Participation Agreement”) with Silk and Arbiter pursuant to which (i) Arbiter has agreed to exercise at least $5 million in this offering and to backstop up to $5 million through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at the Subscription Price, on the terms set forth in the Backstop and Participation Agreement and (ii) Silk has agreed to exercise its pro rata share of the Rights Offering.

S-11

In consideration for their backstop commitments, the Company has agreed to pay a backstop fee to Conversant of 174,675 shares of Common Stock and to Arbiter of 17,292 shares of Common Stock

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Backstop and Participation Agreement is subject (i) the consummation of the Amended Rights Offering, (ii) the closing of the transactions pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement, and (iii) the receipt of stockholder approval.

Determination of the Subscription Price

The Subscription Price was determined pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and as part of a thorough and lengthy process to explore strategic alternatives and seek financing sources for the Company to address its liquidity needs and to fund growth strategies led by our board of directors, with the assistance of the Company’s financial advisor, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.

Effect of This Offering on Existing Stockholders

Your ownership interest will be diluted in the offering to the extent you do not exercise your Rights. In addition, the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant and Arbiter in the Backstop Commitment and the shares of Common Stock that will be sold to Conversant in the Common Stock Sale (as defined herein) will be dilutive to existing stockholders. Further, the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants that will be sold to Conversant in the Private Placement, when exercised, will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and existing stockholders will experience immediate dilution of their voting rights as a result of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Conversant.

Assuming full participation in the Rights Offering, we expect that our existing stockholders (including Silk and Arbiter) will own approximately 50.6% of our Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, full exercise of the Warrants and full exercise of the Equity Accordion) and Conversant will own shares of Common Stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants representing approximately 49.4% of our Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, full exercise of the Warrants and full exercise of the Equity Accordion), each on an as-converted basis.

The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and may increase as a result of increases in the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock in the event the board does not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any quarterly payment date, in each case as provided in the Certificate of Designations.

Shares of Our Common Stock Outstanding After this Offering

As of September 10, 20201, the Record Date for this offering, 2,190,599 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

We expect that there will be between 7,473,465 and 9,129,725 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following the consummation of this offering and the transactions contemplated by the A&R Investment Agreement on an as-converted basis (depending on the amount of the Equity Accordion that is funded and the number of Warrants that are exercised).

The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and may increase as a result of increases in the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock in the event the board does not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any quarterly payment date, in each case as provided in the Certificate of Designations.

Closing Conditions

In addition to the conditions described under “Description of the Transaction Documents—Investment Agreement—Closing Conditions” beginning on page s-26 of the prospectus supplement, the A&R Investment Agreement provides that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Backstop and Participation Agreement will be a condition to closing under the A&R Investment Agreement.

Other Covenants and Agreements

In addition to the other covenants and agreements described under “Description of the Transaction Documents—Investment Agreement—Other Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page s-27 of the prospectus supplement, the A&R Investment Agreement provides that, at the Closing, the Company will reimburse Conversant for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by it on or after the date of the Original Investment Agreement in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and in accordance with the Promissory Note, subject to certain exceptions, up to an aggregate amount of $1.3 million (or $550,000 in the event the Closing does not occur).

S-13

Promissory Note

If the closing under the A&R Investment Agreement occurs, the agreement provides that the indebtedness under the Promissory Note shall be reduced by $1,275,000 (representing the backstop fee previously paid to Conversant). If the closing under the A&R Investment Agreement does not occur, Arbiter will still receive its Backstop Fee, and Conversant will receive 132,175 shares of Common Stock and the reduction in indebtedness under the Promissory Note described above will not occur.

Investor Rights Agreement

The Company, Conversant and Silk will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement on the Closing Date to provide for certain rights and responsibilities of the parties in connection with Conversant’s and Silk’s investment in and the governance of the Company. The Investor Rights Agreement provides for substantially similar terms as described in the prospectus supplement, except as described below.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that (i) for so long as Conversant and the investors listed on Schedule A to the Investor Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Conversant Investors”), together with their affiliates and permitted transferees (collectively, the “Conversant Parties”) beneficially own at least 33% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Conversant will have the right to designate four (4) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to its Board a number of directors (one of whom will be independent), (ii) for so long as the Conversant Parties beneficially own less than 33% but at least 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Conversant will have the right to designate a number of directors, rounded to the nearest whole number, equal to (1) the quotient of (a) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis beneficially owned by the Conversant Parties divided by (b) the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, multiplied by (2) the total number of directors then on the Board, (iii) for so long as the Conversant Parties beneficially own less than 15% but at least 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Conversant will have the right to designate one (1) designee for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board (which slate will include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled), (iv) following the forty-two (42) month anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as the Conversant Parties beneficially own shares of Series A Preferred Stock and beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Conversant will have the right to designate five (5) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board (which slate will include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled), (v) for so long as Silk together with its affiliates (the “Silk Parties”) beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, Silk will have the right to designate two (2) designees for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors (which slate will include a number of nominees equal to the number of director positons to be filled), and (vi) once the Conversant Parties beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, the rights of the Conversant Investors to designate directors pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement will terminate, and once Silk beneficially owns less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis, the rights of Silk to designate directors pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement will terminate. In the event that Conversant or Silk lose the right to designate any director, such director will not be required to resign and may be replaced by the applicable investor until the next meeting at which directors of the Company are elected.

Promptly following the Closing Date, and in any event within five business days following the Closing Date, the Company will be required to cause the representatives designated by a party that has the right to designate a designee for inclusion in the Company’s slate of individuals nominated for election to the Board pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Board Representative(s)”) to be elected or appointed to the Board, to

S-14

the extent not already on the Board. Additionally, for so long as the Conversant Parties beneficially own at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as converted basis, Conversant will be entitled to designate the chairperson of the Board. The Investor Board Representative(s) will receive the same director compensation as each other non-executive director of the Board.

For so long as Conversant or Silk has the right to nominate an Investor Board Representative to the Board, members of the Board other than the Investor Board Representative(s) will have the exclusive right to nominate 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), and any transaction, agreement, contract or other arrangement (including, without limitation, any mandatory conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations) by and among the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Investors or their affiliates, on the other hand, will require solely the approval of a majority of the independent and disinterested directors.

The election or appointment of the Investor Board Representatives will be subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and, for all such appointments or elections after the election or appointment of the initial Investor Board Representatives, to the reasonable approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) of the four (4) - member Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (two members of which will be comprised of non-Conversant and non-Silk designees). If the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board does so not approve a designee, Investor A or Silk (as applicable that made such designation) will have the exclusive right to designate a replacement who shall be treated for all purposes as such person’s designee under the Investor Rights Agreement, subject to the approval process described therein.

Standstill

The Investor Rights Agreement will have substantially the same terms as those set forth in the prospectus supplement with respect to standstill obligations, except that the Conversant Parties’ standstill obligations shall last for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date.

Backstop and Participation Agreement

In connection with this offering and concurrently with the execution of the A&R Investment Agreement, the Company has entered into the Backstop and Participation Agreement with Silk and Arbiter pursuant to which Silk has agreed to exercise at least the number of Rights issued in respect of the Common Stock owned directly and beneficially by them as of the Record Date and Arbiter has agreed to exercise at least $5 million of Rights. In addition, pursuant to the Backstop and Participation Agreement and on the terms set forth therein, Arbiter has agreed to backstop up to $5 million of this offering through the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock at $30 per share and on a pro rata basis as calculated by reference to the size of its commitment and the backstop commitment of Conversant pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement. In consideration for their backstop commitments, the Company has agreed to pay Conversant a Backstop Fee equal to 174,675 shares of Common Stock and Arbiter a Backstop Fee equal to 17,292 shares of Common Stock.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Backstop and Participation Agreement is subject to the consummation of the Rights Offering, the closing of the transactions pursuant to the A&R Investment Agreement and the receipt of stockholder approval at the Special Meeting.

The Certificate of Designations in connection with the Original Investment Agreement previously provided that the Series A Preferred Stock would be redeemable at the option of the Company beginning on the five year anniversary.

CAPITAL SENIOR LIVING CORPORATION

We are one of the largest 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 December 31, 2019, we operated 126 senior housing communities in 23 states with an aggregate capacity of approximately 16,000 residents, including 80 senior housing communities that we owned and 46 senior housing communities that we leased. During 2019, approximately 94.1% of total revenues for the senior housing communities operated by us were derived from private pay sources.

Our operating strategy is to provide value to our senior living residents by providing quality senior living services at reasonable prices, while achieving and sustaining a strong, competitive position within our geographically concentrated regions, as well as continuing to enhance the performance of our operations.

Many of our communities offer a continuum of care to meet our residents’ needs as they change over time. This continuum of care, which integrates independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and is bridged by home care through independent home care agencies, sustains residents’ autonomy and independence based on their physical and mental abilities.

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference include forward-looking statements within the meaning of sections 27A of the Securities Act and 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus that address activities, events or developments that we expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology including “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “should” or other similar words.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. We have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. No assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate. Moreover, these statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements include those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and elsewhere in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed subsequent to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, among others, our ability to find suitable acquisition properties at favorable terms, financing, licensing, business conditions, risks of downturn in economic conditions generally, satisfaction of closing conditions such as those pertaining to licensure, availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates, and changes in accounting principles and interpretations.

Other factors described herein, or factors that are unknown or unpredictable, could also have a material adverse effect on future results.

All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events anticipated by our forward-looking statements may not occur, and you should not place any undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We may invest funds not required immediately for such purposes in marketable securities and short-term investments. Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of securities to a specific purpose will be determined at the time of the specific offering and will be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes the general terms and provisions of our debt securities that we may offer from time to time in one or more series. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities we will provide the specific terms of the series in a prospectus supplement, which may provide information that is different from this prospectus. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of debt securities, you must refer to this prospectus, the prospectus supplement relating to that series and the related indenture and note. To the extent the information contained in the prospectus supplement differs from this summary description, you should rely on the information in the applicable prospectus supplement, indenture and note.

The debt securities will either be our senior debt securities or our subordinated debt securities. The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities will be issued under separate indentures between us and a Trustee. Senior debt securities will be issued under a “senior indenture” and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a “subordinated indenture.” Together, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are called the “indentures.” As used in this description, the words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Capital Senior Living Corporation, and not to any of our subsidiaries.

The following description of our debt securities is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable senior indenture, subordinated indenture, senior note and subordinated note, copies of which are filed as exhibits to, and incorporated by reference in, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. In the summary below, we have included references to article or section numbers of the applicable indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. Whenever we refer in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement to particular articles or sections or defined terms of the indentures, those articles or sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein or therein, as applicable. The indentures will be subject to and governed by certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act, and we refer you to the indentures and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such provisions. Capitalized terms used in the below summary have the meanings specified in the indentures.

General

The debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations, which may be senior or subordinated and convertible into shares of our common stock or preferred stock. The indentures do not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue and permit us to issue debt securities from time to time. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of those debt securities and the indenture, which may include, without limitation, one or more of the following:

• the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations of the debt securities;

• whether the debt securities are senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and, if subordinated debt securities, the related subordination terms;

• any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

• the dates on which the principal of the debt securities will be payable;

• the interest rate that the debt securities will bear and the Interest Payment Dates for the debt securities;

• the places where payments on the debt securities will be payable;

• any terms upon which the debt securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option or at the option of the holders of the debt securities and the other detailed terms and provisions of such optional redemption;

• any conversion or exchange features;

• any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate us to repurchase or otherwise redeem the debt securities;

9

• the portion of the principal amount, if less than all, of the debt securities that will be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the debt securities;

• whether the debt securities are defeasible;

• any addition to or change in the Events of Default;

• whether the debt securities are convertible into or exchangeable for our other securities (including our capital stock) and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which conversion or exchanges will be effected, including the initial conversion price or conversion rate and any adjustments thereto and the conversion or exchange period;

• any addition to or change in the covenants in the indenture applicable to the debt securities; and

• any other terms of the debt securities not inconsistent with the provisions of the applicable indenture (Section 3.01).

Debt securities, including Original Issue Discount Securities, may be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. Special United States Federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities sold at an original issue discount may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, special United States Federal income tax or other considerations applicable to any debt securities that are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than United States dollars may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Senior Debt Securities

The senior debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and will constitute senior indebtedness, in each case as defined in the applicable supplemental indenture, ranking on parity with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

The indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated debt securities will, to the extent set forth in the subordinated indenture with respect to each series of subordinated debt securities, be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment of all of our senior debt, including the senior debt securities, and it may also be senior in right of payment to all of our subordinated debt (Article 14 of the subordinated indenture). The prospectus supplement relating to any subordinated debt securities will summarize the subordination provisions of the subordinated indenture applicable to that series including:

• the applicability and effect of the subordination provisions upon any payment or distribution respecting that series following any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings;

• the applicability and effect of the subordination provisions in the event of specified defaults with respect to any senior debt, including the circumstances under which and the periods in which we will be prohibited from making payments on the subordinated debt securities; and

• the definition of senior debt applicable to the subordinated debt securities of that series and, if the series is issued on a senior subordinated basis, the definition of subordinated debt applicable to that series.

The prospectus supplement will also describe as of a recent date the approximate amount of senior debt to which the subordinated debt securities of that series will be subordinated. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior debt that we may incur. As a result of the subordination of the subordinated debt securities, if we become insolvent, holders of subordinated debt securities may receive less on a proportionate basis than other creditors.

10

The failure to make payment on any of the subordinated debt securities by reason of the subordination provisions of the subordinated indenture described in the prospectus supplement will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the subordinated debt securities arising from the failure to make such payment.

Subsidiary Guarantees

If the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of our senior debt securities provides that those senior debt securities will have the benefit of a guarantee by any or all of our subsidiaries, payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on those senior debt securities will be unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by such subsidiary or subsidiaries. The guarantee of senior debt securities will rank on parity in right of payment with all of the other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of such subsidiary or subsidiaries.

If the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of our subordinated debt securities provides that those subordinated debt securities will have the benefit of a guarantee by any or all of our subsidiaries, payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on those subordinated debt securities will be unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, subordinated basis by such subsidiary or subsidiaries. The guarantee of the subordinated debt securities will, to the extent set forth in the subordinated indenture with respect to each series of subordinated debt securities, be subordinate in right of payment to all of such subsidiary’s or subsidiaries’ existing and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related prospectus supplement), including any guarantee of the senior debt securities, to the same extent and in the same manner as the subordinated debt securities are subordinated to our senior indebtedness (as defined in the related prospectus supplement). See “—Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities” above.

The obligations of our subsidiaries under any such guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent the guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

Denominations, Exchange and Transfer

The debt securities of each series will be issued in fully registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof (Section 3.02).

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and the limitations applicable to any Global Securities, debt securities of each series may be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series of any authorized denomination and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount (Section 3.05).

Subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and the limitations applicable to any Global Securities, debt securities may be presented for exchange as provided above or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed, at the office of the Security Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in that connection. Such transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Security Registrar or such transfer agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request. The Security Registrar and any other transfer agent initially designated by us for any debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (Section 3.05). We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each Place of Payment for the debt securities of each series (Section 10.02).

If the debt securities of any series, or of any series and specified tenor, are to be redeemed in part, we will not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities of that series, or of that series and

11

specified tenor, as the case may be, during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any such debt securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any debt security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part (Section 3.05).

Modification and Waiver

We and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, enter into one or more supplemental indentures for, among other things, any of the following purposes:

• to evidence the succession of another person to us, and the assumption by such successor of our obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities;

• to add covenants by us, or to surrender any of our rights conferred by the applicable indenture, for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities of any and all series;

• to add Events of Default for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities of any and all series;

• to establish the form or terms of any series of the debt securities;

• to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the applicable indenture by a successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of the debt securities and to add or change any of the provisions of the applicable indenture to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee pursuant to the requirements of the applicable indenture;

• to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the applicable indenture; provided that any such addition, change or elimination shall (a) neither (i) apply to any debt security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the holders of any such debt security with respect to such provision, or (b) become effective only when there is no such debt security Outstanding;

• to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in, or make any other provision with respect to questions arising under, the applicable indenture; provided that such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities thereunder in any material respect;

• to add one or more guarantors with respect to the debt securities as parties to the applicable indenture or to release guarantors in accordance with the provisions of any supplemental indenture; or

• to supplement any provisions of the applicable indenture necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of the debt securities; provided that such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities thereunder (Section 9.01).

In addition, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of each series affected, we and the Trustee may enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing or eliminating any provisions of, the applicable indenture, or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the debt securities of any series and subsidiary guarantees, if any, under the applicable indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Outstanding debt security affected thereby:

• change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any debt security;

• reduce the principal amount of, or any premium payable upon redemption of or rate of interest on, any debt security;

• reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or any other debt security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;

12

• change our obligation to maintain an office or agency for payment of any debt securities or the currency in which any debt security is payable;

• impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment due on or after the stated maturity of, or the redemption date of, the debt security, or alter the method of computation of interest;

• reduce the percentage in principal amount of Outstanding debt securities of any series that must consent to a supplemental indenture or any waiver provided for in the applicable indenture;

• with certain exceptions, modify any of the provisions of the applicable indenture relating to (a) the execution of supplemental indentures with the consent of the holders of the debt securities and (b) waivers by holders of the debt securities of past defaults and covenants; or

• in the case of a series of subordinated debt securities, modify any of the applicable subordination provisions in a manner adverse to the holders of the subordinated debt securities or any Outstanding senior debt securities (Section 9.02).

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of any series may waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the applicable indenture (Section 10.06). The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of any series may waive any past default under the applicable indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and certain covenants and provisions of the indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding debt security of such series (Section 5.13).

Each of the indentures provides that in determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities have given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under the applicable indenture as of any date:

(1) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that will be deemed to be Outstanding will be the amount of the principal that would be due and payable as of such date upon acceleration of the maturity to such date;

(2) if, as of such date, the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity of a debt security is not determinable, the principal amount of such debt security deemed to be Outstanding as of such date will be the amount determined in the manner prescribed for such debt security; and

(3) the principal amount of a debt security denominated in one or more foreign currencies or currency units that will be deemed to be Outstanding will be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined as of such date in the manner prescribed for such debt security, of the principal amount of such debt security (or, in the case of a debt security described in Clause (1) or (2) above, of the amount determined in such Clause).

Certain debt securities, including those owned by us or any of our Affiliates, will not be deemed to be Outstanding (Section 1.01).

Except in certain limited circumstances, we will be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of Outstanding debt securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action under the applicable indenture, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the applicable indenture. In certain limited circumstances, the Trustee will be entitled to set a record date for action by the holders. If a record date is set for any action to be taken by the holders of a particular series, only persons who are holders of Outstanding debt securities of that series on the record date may take such action. To be effective, such action must be taken by the holders of the requisite principal amount of such debt securities within a specified period following the record date. For any particular record date, this period will be 180 days or such other period as may be specified by us (or the Trustee, if it set the record date), and may be shortened or lengthened (but not beyond 180 days) from time to time (Section 1.04).

13

Events of Default

Except as otherwise set forth in any prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities, an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of any series is defined in the indentures as:

(1) default in the payment of any interest upon any of the debt securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(2) default in the payment of principal of or any premium on the debt securities of such series at its maturity; or

(3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of the debt securities of such series; or

(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any of our covenants set forth in the applicable indenture (other than a default included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series other than that series) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after due notice by the Trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of that series; or

(5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting us (Section 5.01).

Any additions, deletions or other changes to the Events of Default which will apply to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to us described in Clause (5) above) with respect to the debt securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of that series by notice as provided in the applicable indenture may declare the principal amount of all the debt securities of that series (or, if the debt securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such debt securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to us described in Clause (5) above with respect to the debt securities of that series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the debt securities of that series (or, if the debt securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such debt securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) will automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any holder, become immediately due and payable. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the debt securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such declaration (Section 5.02).

Under the indentures, the Trustee must give to the holders of the debt securities of any series notice of all uncured defaults known to it with respect to such series within 90 days after such a default occurs. However, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on the debt securities of any series, or default in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with respect to such debt securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it determines in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series (Section 6.02).

Subject to the provisions of the indentures relating to the duties of the Trustees in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the applicable indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders have offered to such Trustee reasonable indemnity (Section 6.03). Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustees, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series; provided that such direction does not conflict with any rule of law or the applicable indenture and subject to certain other limitations (Section 5.12).

14

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the applicable indenture, unless

• such holder has previously given the Trustee under the applicable indenture written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series;

• the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings as Trustee;

• such holder or holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee reasonable indemnity;

• the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such request has failed to institute such proceeding; and

• the Trustee has not received directions inconsistent with such request from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (Section 5.07).

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on such debt security on or after the applicable due date specified in such debt security (Section 5.08).

We are required to furnish to each Trustee annually a statement by certain of our officers as to whether or not we, to their best knowledge, are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the applicable indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults and the nature and status thereof (Section 10.04).

Payment and Paying Agents

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest on a debt security on any Interest Payment Date will be made to the person in whose name such debt security (or one or more predecessor debt securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest (Section 3.07).

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series will be payable at the office of the Paying Agent or Paying Agents as we may designate for such purpose from time to time, except that at our option payment of any interest on debt securities in certificated form may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address appears in the debt securities’ register. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee under the senior indenture in the City of New York will be designated as sole Paying Agent for payments with respect to senior debt securities of each series, and the corporate trust office of the Trustee under the subordinated indenture in the City of New York will be designated as the sole Paying Agent for payment with respect to subordinated debt securities of each series. Any other Paying Agents initially designated by us for the debt securities of a particular series will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series (Section 10.02).

All money paid by us to a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt security that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of such debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment (Section 10.03).

15

Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease

We may not consolidate with or merge into any other person, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our property and assets to another person, unless:

• (i) in the case of a merger, we are the surviving person, or (ii) the person formed by such consolidation, or into which we are merged, or the person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, our properties and assets is a domestic corporation or partnership and expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on all debt securities and the performance of every covenant applicable to be performed by us;

• immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall exist; and

• we deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture complies with the forgoing provisions relating to such transaction and that all conditions precedent provided for in the applicable indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with (Section 8.01).

Satisfaction and Discharge

Each indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Outstanding debt securities of any series and guarantees issued thereunder (except for certain surviving rights and obligations), when:

• either:

(i) all Outstanding debt securities of that series that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities that have been replaced or paid and debt securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to us) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Outstanding debt securities of that series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, and in any case we or the guarantors, if any, have deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness of such debt securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of deposit or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be.

• we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by us under the applicable indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series; and

• we have delivered an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series have been complied with (Section 4.01).

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

If the provisions in the applicable indenture relating to defeasance and covenant defeasance are made applicable to the debt securities of any series, we may elect either:

• defeasance, which means we elect to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the debt securities and all obligations of any guarantors of such debt securities shall be discharged with respect to their guarantees, except for the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the debt securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities, to maintain an office or agency in respect of the debt securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust (Section 13.02); or

16

• covenant defeasance, which means we elect to be released from our obligations with respect to the debt securities under specified sections of the applicable indenture relating to covenants, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement and any omission to comply with our obligations will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities (Section 13.03);

in either case upon the irrevocable deposit by us with the applicable Trustee, in trust, of an amount, in currency or currencies or US Government Obligations, or both, sufficient without reinvestment to make scheduled payments of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities, when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments (Section 13.04).

A trust will only be permitted to be established if, among other things:

• we have delivered to the applicable Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, as specified in the applicable indenture, to the effect that the holders of the debt securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and the Opinion of Counsel, in the case of defeasance, will be required to refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable U.S. Federal income tax law occurring after the date of the applicable indenture;

• no Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default has occurred;

• the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which we are a party or by which we are bound;

• certain other provisions set forth in the applicable indenture are met; and

• we will have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with (Section 13.04).

In general, if we elect covenant defeasance with respect to any debt securities and payments on those debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the amount of money and US Government Obligations on deposit with the applicable Trustee would be sufficient to pay amounts due on those debt securities at the time of their Stated Maturity, but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on those debt securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. In that case, we would remain liable to make payment of the amounts due on the debt securities at the time of acceleration.

The applicable prospectus supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the debt securities of or within a particular series.

Governing Law

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (Section 1.12).

17

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES OF DEBT SECURITIES

One or more of our subsidiaries may issue guarantees of debt securities that we offer in any prospectus supplement. Each guarantee will be issued under a supplement to an indenture. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of guarantees will describe the terms of those guarantees, which may include, without limitation, one or more of the following:

• the series of debt securities to which the guarantees apply;

• whether the guarantees are senior or subordinate to other guarantees or debt;

• the terms under which the guarantees may be amended, modified, waived, released or otherwise terminated, if different from the provisions applicable to the guaranteed debt securities; and

Subject to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and limitations prescribed by 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 of Directors. Generally, the issuance of common stock, up to the aggregate amounts authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation and any limitations prescribed by 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 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 preferred stock, but only when and as declared by our Board of Directors out of the assets legally available for dividend payments.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our 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 the common stock, shall be entitled, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of our company, to receive the remaining assets of our company available for distribution.

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

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the ticker symbol “CSU.” Our transfer agent and registrar is Computershare Shareowner Services LLC.

The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Subject to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and limitations prescribed by 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

19

preferred stock in one or more series from time to time upon such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by our Board of Directors. Generally, the issuance of preferred stock, up to the aggregate amounts authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation and any limitations prescribed by 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. Our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the number of shares of, and the rights, preferences and limitations of, each series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, the dividend rights, voting powers, preemptive rights, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights, and liquidation preferences of any series of preferred stock.

The specific terms of any offering of preferred stock under this prospectus will be described in a prospectus supplement, which may include, without limitation, one or more of the following:

• the designation, number of shares, seniority and purchase price of such series of preferred stock;

• any liquidation preferences;

• any redemption, repayment or sinking fund provisions;

• any dividend rights, any dividend rate or rates, and the dates and places on which any such dividends will be payable;

• any voting rights;

• whether such preferred stock is convertible or exchangeable and, if so, the securities or rights into which such preferred stock is convertible or exchangeable, and the terms and conditions upon which such conversions or exchanges will be effected, including conversion or exchange prices or rates, the conversion or exchange period and any other related provisions; and

• any other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of such series of preferred stock.

All shares of preferred stock offered will, when issued, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desired flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could reduce the relative voting power of holders of our common stock. It could also delay a change in control of us, make it more difficult to remove our directors, and negatively affect any dividend payments or liquidation payments to the holders of our common stock.

Registration Rights

Under our retirement and separation agreement with Lawrence A. Cohen, our former Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman of the Board and director, we and Mr. Cohen remain subject to and bound by the registration rights agreement set forth in Mr. Cohen’s employment agreement, which entitles Mr. Cohen to certain rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of our securities he holds. Under such registration rights agreement, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or the account of other security holders, Mr. Cohen is entitled to notice of the registration and has the right to include the securities of ours that he holds in the registration. Mr. Cohen’s registration rights are subject to certain conditions, including the right of any underwriters of these offerings to limit the number of shares included in any of these registrations. We have agreed to pay all expenses related to these registrations, except for underwriting discounts and selling commissions.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Laws

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Laws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us.

20

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 of Directors in hopes of improving the terms of any such takeover bids.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock. We have 65,000,000 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, our Board of Directors may be able to discourage or make any attempt to obtain control of us more difficult. If, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our Board of Directors determines that a takeover proposal is not in our best interest, the Board of Directors could issue a portion of these shares without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations prescribed by law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. These shares could be issued in one or more transactions that might prevent or make the completion of a proposed change of control transaction more difficult or costly by:

• diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquiror or insurgent stockholder group;

• creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent Board of Directors; or

• effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover.

In this regard, our Certificate of Incorporation grants our Board of Directors broad power to establish the rights, preferences and limitations of the authorized and unissued shares of our preferred stock. For example, our Board of Directors could establish one or more series of preferred stock that entitle holders to:

• vote separately as a class on any proposed merger or consolidation;

• cast a proportionately larger vote together with our common stock on any proposed transaction or other voting matter;

• elect directors having terms of office or voting rights greater than those of our other directors;

• convert preferred stock into a greater number of shares of our common stock or other securities;

• demand redemption at a specified price under prescribed circumstances related to a change of control of us; or

• exercise other rights designed to impede a takeover.

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 preferred stock and unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be called only by our Board of Directors, the Chairman of our Board or stockholders possessing at least 25% of the voting power of our issued and outstanding voting stock. Stockholders may amend or repeal these provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of our issued and outstanding voting stock.

Amendment of our Bylaws. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws grant our Board of Directors 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. Currently, our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms, with only one 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.

21

Directors may be removed only for cause and by the affirmative vote of a majority of our securities then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

On December 4, 2019, our Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment (the “Declassification Amendment”) to our Certificate of Incorporation, subject to Stockholder Approval (as defined below), that will phase-out our classified Board structure so that, beginning with our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, each member of our Board of Directors will be elected to hold office for a term of one year. The Declassification Amendment is subject to the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders (the “Stockholder Approval”), and our Board of Directors approved the submission of the Declassification Amendment to a vote of our stockholders at our 2020 annual meeting of the stockholders. In accordance with applicable Delaware law, the Declassification Amendment will also amend our Certificate of Incorporation to provide that, beginning at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (i.e., once our Board of Directors is no longer classified if the Stockholder Approval is received), our directors may be removed with or without cause, and our Board of Directors also approved an amendment to our Bylaws in order to make conforming changes, subject to the Stockholder Approval.

A vacancy on our Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office. Currently, any director appointed to fill a vacancy serves for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. If the Stockholder Approval is received, any director appointed to fill a vacancy after the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders serves for the remainder of the term of the director in respect of whom the vacancy is being filled. The number of directors on our Board of Directors generally will be fixed exclusively by, and may be increased or decreased exclusively by, our Board of Directors but in no event will be less than three nor more than nine.

Advance Notice Procedures for Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides 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 our Board of Directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law. We are a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for three years after becoming an interested stockholder unless:

• 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;

• 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

• 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 Delaware General Corporation Law is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Limitation of Liability of Directors

Our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except, if required by Delaware law, for liability:

• for any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

22

• for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

• for unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; and

• for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

Set forth below is a description of the general terms and conditions of the depositary shares that may be offered under this prospectus. The specific terms and conditions of the depositary shares will be described in a supplement to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, change, update or supersede the terms and conditions of the depositary shares as described in this prospectus. To the extent the information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement differs from the description set forth below, you should rely on the information in the applicable prospectus supplement, deposit agreement and depositary receipts.

General

We may elect to offer fractional shares or some multiple of shares of preferred stock, rather than offer whole shares of preferred stock. If we choose to do this, we will issue receipts for depositary shares. Each depositary share will represent a fraction or some multiple of a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company, which we will select. The bank or trust company must have its principal office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will state the name and address of the depositary. Unless otherwise provided by the deposit agreement, each owner of depositary shares will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction or multiple of a share of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional interest in or multiple of shares of the related series of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the offering described in the related prospectus supplement.

Dividends and other Distributions

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received with respect to preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the preferred stock in proportion to the numbers of the depositary shares owned by the holders on the relevant record date. However, the depositary will distribute only an amount that can be distributed without attributing to any holder of depositary shares a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary shares.

If there is a non-cash distribution, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled to it, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this happens, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net sale proceeds to the holders.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

If a series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is redeemed in whole or in part, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the redemption proceeds received by the depositary. The redemption price for each depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction or multiple of the redemption price for each share payable with respect to the series of the preferred stock. Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem on the same redemption date the number of depositary shares relating to the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If less than all of the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or proportionally as may be determined by the depositary.

24

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be considered outstanding and all rights of the holders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the money, securities or other property payable upon the redemption and any money, securities or other property to which the holders of the redeemed depositary shares were entitled upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares.

Voting the Preferred Stock

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the preferred stock. Each record holder of depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary how to exercise the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares in accordance with these instructions, and we will agree to take all action that the depositary may consider necessary in order to enable the depositary to vote the shares.

Amendment and Termination of Deposit Agreement

We may enter into an agreement with the depositary at any time to amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement. However, the holders of a majority of the depositary shares must approve any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the existing holders of depositary shares. We or the depositary may terminate the deposit agreement only if (i) all outstanding depositary shares issued under the agreement have been redeemed, or (ii) a final distribution in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up has been made to the holders of depositary shares.

Charges of Depositary

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the deposit arrangements. We will also pay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us notice of its election to resign, and we may at any time remove the depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect when a successor depositary has been appointed and has accepted the appointment. Appointment must occur within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal. The successor depositary must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

Miscellaneous

The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications that we deliver to the depositary and that we are required to furnish to the holders of the preferred stock.

Neither the depositary nor we will be liable if either of us are prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing our obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our duties under the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. Further, both of us may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

Holders may exercise warrants at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will be void. Holders may exercise warrants as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants being offered.

Until a holder exercises the warrants to purchase our debt securities or shares of our common stock or preferred stock, the holder will not have any rights as a holder of our debt securities or shares of our common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, by virtue of ownership of the warrants.

27

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock or warrants. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights issuance, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights issuance. Rights may be issued independently or together with any of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or debt securities offered by a prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from those offered securities. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent or subscription agent agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent or subscription agent, as applicable, all as further set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of rights. The rights agent or subscription agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

28

Until a holder exercises the rights to purchase shares of our common stock or preferred stock or warrants, the holder will not have any rights as a holder of shares of our common stock or preferred stock or warrants, as the case may be, by virtue of ownership of the rights.

29

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

Set forth below is a description of the general terms and conditions of the purchase contracts that may be offered under this prospectus. The specific terms and conditions of the purchase contracts will be described in a supplement to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, change, update or supersede the terms and conditions of the purchase contracts as described in this prospectus. To the extent the information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement differs from the description set forth below, you should rely on the information in the applicable prospectus supplement and purchase contract.

General

We may issue purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and for us to sell to holders, a specific or varying number of debt securities, shares of common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants or any combination of the above, at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specific or varying number of debt securities, shares of common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants or any combination of the above. The price of the securities subject to the purchase contracts may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula described in the purchase contracts. We may issue purchase contracts separately or as a part of units each consisting of a purchase contract and one or more of our other securities described in this prospectus securing the holder’s obligations under the purchase contract.

If we issue a purchase contract as part of a unit, the applicable prospectus supplement will state whether the purchase contract will be separable from the other securities in the unit before the purchase contract settlement date. The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to holders or vice versa and the payments may be unsecured or pre-funded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require holders to secure the holder’s obligations in a manner specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and, in certain circumstances, we may deliver newly issued prepaid purchase contracts, often known as prepaid securities, upon release to a holder of any collateral securing such holder’s obligations under the original purchase contract.

Terms

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of purchase contracts will describe the terms of those purchase contracts, which may include, without limitation, one or more of the following:

• whether the purchase contracts obligate the holder or us to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract, and the nature and amount of each of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts;

• whether the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not;

• whether the purchase contracts will be issued as part of a unit and, if so, the other securities comprising the unit;

• whether the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value, performance, or level of the securities subject to purchase under the purchase contract;

• any acceleration, cancellation, termination, or other provisions relating to the settlement of the purchase contracts; and

• whether the purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered or global form.

30

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

Set forth below is a description of the general terms and conditions of the units that may be offered under this prospectus. The specific terms and conditions of the units will be described in a supplement to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, change, update or supersede the terms and conditions of the units as described in this prospectus. To the extent the information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement differs from the description set forth below, you should rely on the information in the applicable prospectus supplement and unit agreement or indenture.

We may issue units consisting of one or more debt securities, shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, rights or guarantees or any combination of such securities under this prospectus. The specific terms and conditions of the units will be described in a supplement to this prospectus which may include, without limitation, one or more of the following:

• the title of the series of units;

• identification and description of the separate securities comprising the units;

• the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

• the date, if any, on and after which the securities comprising the units will be separately transferrable; and

• any other material terms of the units and the securities comprising such units.

31

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to underwritten public offerings, at-the-market offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through agents, underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents, or through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

• at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

• at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

• at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

• at negotiated prices.

We may designate agents to solicit offers to purchase our securities. We will name any agent involved in offering or selling our securities, and any commissions that we will pay to the agent, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, our agents will act on a best efforts basis for the period of their appointment.

Agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange, the existing trading market for our common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions (including block transactions), at negotiated prices, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. We will include the names of the managing underwriter(s), as well as any other underwriters, and the terms of the transaction, including the compensation the underwriters and dealers will receive, in our prospectus supplement. If we use an underwriter, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter(s) at the time that we reach an agreement for the sale of our securities. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered if any of the securities are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. The underwriters will use a prospectus supplement to sell our securities. To the extent that we make sales through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, we will do so pursuant to the terms of a sales agency financing agreement or other at-the-market offering arrangement between us and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to any such agreement, we will issue and sell securities through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, we may sell securities on a daily basis in exchange transactions or otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The agreement will provide that any securities sold will be sold at prices related to the then-prevailing market prices for our securities. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time.

If we use a dealer, we, as principal, will sell our securities to the dealer. The dealer will then sell our securities to the public at varying prices that the dealer will determine at the time it sells our securities. We will include the name of the dealer and the terms of our transactions with the dealer in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may directly solicit offers to purchase our securities, and we may directly sell our securities to institutional or other investors. In this case, no underwriters or dealer would be involved. We will describe the terms of our direct sales in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The applicable prospectus supplement will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.

Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus, underwriters may receive compensation from us or from the purchasers of the securities, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Any underwriters, dealers or agents will be identified and their compensation described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their business.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, all securities offered under this prospectus will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market, other than the common stock, which is currently listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. We may elect to list any other class or series of securities on a national securities exchange or a foreign securities exchange but are not obligated to do so. Any common stock sold by this prospectus will be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange subject to official notice of issuance. We cannot give you any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading markets for any of the securities.

Any underwriter to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of the securities in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. These activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. The underwriters will not be obligated to engage in any of the aforementioned transactions and may discontinue such transactions at any time without notice.

Agents, underwriters and other third parties described above may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, underwriters and such other third parties may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
