2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statem ents have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles

generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and include, on a consolidated basis, our accounts, the

accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities, or VIEs, of which

we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all entities that we control through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, we consolidate

all VIEs of which we are considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do

not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk

for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that

consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities

that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the

obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally

considered voting interest entities, or VOEs, and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are

consolidated when we control the entity through a majority voting interest or other means.

For consolidated entities, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint venture is

included in non-controlling interests as a component of total equity. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally

computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage.

When the requirements for consolidation are not met and we have significant influence over the operations of the entity, the

investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities for which we

have not elected the fair value option, or FVO, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our pro-rata

share of net income, contributions and distributions. When we elect the FVO, we record our share of the net asset value of

the entity and any related unrealized gains and losses.

We review our investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in

circumstances that indicates a decrease in value. If there is a decrease in value due to a series of operating losses or other

factors, the investment is evaluated to determine if the loss in value is considered other than temporary. Although a current

fair value below the carrying value of the investment is an indicator of impairment, we will only recognize an impairment

if the loss in value is determined to be an other than temporary impairment. If an impairment is determined to be other than

temporary, we will record an impairment charge sufficient to reduce the investment’s carrying value to its fair value, which

would result in a new cost basis. This new cost basis will be used for future periods when recording subsequent income or

loss and cannot be written up to a higher value as a result of increases in fair value.

In 2017, we entered into a joint venture with Walker & Dunlop Inc., or Walker & Dunlop, to originate, hold, and finance

multifamily bridge loans, which we refer to as our Multifamily Joint Venture. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements

governing the joint venture, Walker & Dunlop contributed 15% of the venture’s equity capital and we contributed 85%.

We consolidate our Multifamily Joint Venture as we have a controlling financial interest. The non-controlling interests

included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily Joint Venture that are owned

by Walker & Dunlop. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of operations are

allocated to these non-controlling interests based on Walker & Dunlop’s pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint

Venture.

In 2024, we entered into a joint venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to invest in triple net lease

properties, which we refer to as our Net Lease Joint Venture. Our aggregate ownership interest in our Net Lease Joint

Venture was 75% as of December 31, 2025. We do not consolidate our Net Lease Joint Venture as we do not have a

controlling financial interest. Our investment in our Net Lease Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method, and

is recorded ininvestment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets, and our pro-rata share of income

(loss) is recorded inincome (loss) from unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations.

In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into a joint venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to acquire

portfolios of performing commercial mortgage loans, which we refer to as our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture. During

theyear ended December 31, 2025, our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture acquiredtwo portfolios of performing

commercial mortgage loans. Our aggregate ownership interest in our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture was 35% as of

December 31, 2025. We do not consolidate our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture as we do not have a controlling

financial interest. Our investment in our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture is accounted for using the FVO, and is recorded

as aninvestment in unconsolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets, and our pro-rata share of any unrealized

gains and losses is recorded inincome (loss) from unconsolidated entities on our consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and

assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of

the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting

period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

Interest income from our loans receivable portfolio is recognized over the life of each loan using the effective interest

method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, and discounts associated with these

investments is deferred and recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally

suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, recovery

of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest received is then recorded as income or as a reduction in the amortized

cost basis, based on the specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually

currentand performance is demonstrated to be resumed. In addition, for loans we originate, the related origination expenses

are deferred and recognized as a reduction to interest income; however, expenses related to loans we acquire are included

in general and administrative expenses as incurred.

The sources of revenue from our owned real estate assets, which is included in revenue from owned real estate on our

consolidated statements of operations, and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Rental income primarily consists of base rent income arising from tenant leases at our office and multifamily properties.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception, which is subject to the provisions of ASC 842. Base rent is

recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions. We begin to

recognize revenue upon the acquisition of the related property or when a tenant takes possession of the leased space.

Other operating income primarily consists of income from our hospitality properties and tenant reimbursement income.

Revenue from our hospitality properties consists primarily of room revenue and food and beverage revenue. Room revenue

is recognized when the related room is occupied and other hospitality revenue is recognized when the service is rendered.

Tenant reimbursement income primarily consists of amounts due from tenants for costs related to common area

maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs included in lease agreements.

We evaluate the collectibility of receivables related to rental revenue on an individual lease basis and exercise judgment in

assessing collectability considering the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, tenant credit-worthiness, payment

history, available information about the financial condition of the tenant, and current economic trends, among other factors.

Tenant receivables that are deemed uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to rental revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or

less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash

equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not

expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents. As of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no

restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

Loans Receivable

We originate and purchase commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term

investments at amortized cost.

Current Expected Credit Losses Reserve

The current expected credit loss, or CECL, reserve required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,

Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” or ASC 326, reflects our

current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loans and notes receivable included in our consolidated balance

sheets. Changes to the CECL reserves are recognized through net income on our consolidated statements of operations.

While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining the CECL reserves, it does specify the reserves

should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and

market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than

a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the CECL model have some amount of

loss reserve to reflect the principle underlying the CECL model that all loans and similar assets have some inherent risk of

loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.

We estimate our CECL reserves primarily using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which

has been identified as an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves in FASB Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1.

The WARM method requires us to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to

each of our loans over their expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the

relevant time frame. We apply the WARM method for the majority of our loan portfolio, which consists of loans that share

similar risk characteristics. In certain instances, for loans with unique risk characteristics, we may instead use a probability-

weighted model that considers the likelihood of default and expected loss given default for each such individual loan.

Application of the WARM method to estimate CECL reserves requires judgment, including (i) the appropriate historical

loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, and (iii) the current

credit quality of our portfolio and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period. To

estimate the historic loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we have augmented our historical loan performance, with market

loan loss data licensed from Trepp LLC. This database includes commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, issued

since January 1, 1999 through November 30, 2025. Within this database, we focused our historical loss reference

calculations on the most relevant subset of available CMBS data, which we determined based on loan metrics that are most

comparable to our loan portfolio including asset type, geography, and origination loan-to-value, or LTV. We believe this

CMBS data, which includes month-over-month loan and property performance, is the most relevant, available, and

comparable dataset to our portfolio.

Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to our borrowers over the life of the loan. These

future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL reserve related to future loan fundings is

recorded as a component of other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This CECL reserve is estimated using the

same process outlined above for our outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the CECL reserve will

similarly impact our consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of our loans, we consider our

internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.

The CECL reserves are measured on a collective basis wherever similar risk characteristics exist within a pool of similar

assets. We have identified the following pools and measure the reserve for credit losses using the following methods:

•U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average

remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.

•Non-U.S. Loans: WARM method that incorporates a subset of historical loss data, expected weighted-average

remaining maturity of our loan pool, and an economic view.

•Unique Loans: a probability of default and loss given default model, assessed on an individual basis.

•Impaired Loans: impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all

amounts due to us pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. Determining that a loan is impaired requires

significant judgment from management and is based on several factors including (i) the underlying collateral

performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events of default, and (iv) other facts that impact

the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be

impaired, we record the impairment as a component of our CECL reserves by applying the practical expedient for

collateral dependent loans. The CECL reserves are assessed on an individual basis for these loans by comparing

the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan.

These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount

rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan

sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed relevant by us. Actual losses, if any, could

ultimately differ materially from these estimates. We only expect to charge off the impairment losses in our

consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP if and when such amounts are deemed non-

recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed, or the underlying collateral assets are

otherwise consolidated. However, non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly

certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

Contractual Term and Unfunded Loan Commitments

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of each loan, adjusted for expected repayments. As part of

our quarterly review of our loan portfolio, we assess the expected repayment date of each loan, which is used to determine

the contractual term for purposes of computing our CECL reserves.

Additionally, the expected credit losses over the contractual period of our loans are subject to the obligation to extend

credit through our unfunded loan commitments. The CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted quarterly,

as we consider the expected timing of future funding obligations over the estimated life of the loan. The considerations in

estimating our CECL reserve for unfunded loan commitments are similar to those used for the related outstanding loans

receivable.

Credit Quality Indicator

Our risk rating is our primary credit quality indicator in assessing our current expected credit loss reserve. We perform a

quarterly risk review of our portfolio of loans, and assign each loan a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including,

without limitation, origination LTV, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition,

cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. Based on a 5-point

scale, our loans are rated “l” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, relative to our loan portfolio in the aggregate, which

ratings are defined as follows:

1 -Very Low Risk

2 -Low Risk

3 -Medium Risk

4 -High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss.

5 -Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a

principal loss.

Estimation of Economic Conditions

In addition to the WARM method computations and probability-weighted models described above, our CECL reserves are

also adjusted to reflect our estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the

commercial real estate assets securing our loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, expectations

of inflation and/or recession, and other macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit

losses for our loans during their anticipated term. In addition to the CMBS data we have licensed from Trepp LLC, we

have also licensed certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform our view of the potential future impact that broader

economic conditions may have on our loan portfolio’s performance. We generally also incorporate information from other

sources, including information and opinions available to our Manager, to further inform these estimations. This process

requires significant judgments about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance

sheet date, are ultimately indeterminate and the actual economic condition impacting our portfolio could vary significantly

from the estimates we made as of December 31, 2025.

We may assume legal title, physical possession, or control of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure, a deed-

in-lieu of foreclosure transaction, or a loan modification in which we receive an equity interest in and/or control over

decision-making at the property, resulting in us consolidating the real estate assets as VIEs. These real estate acquisitions

are classified as owned real estate, on our consolidated balance sheet and are initially recognized at fair value on the

acquisition date in accordance with the ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805.

Upon acquisition of owned real estate assets, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, which may

include land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-market” and “below-market” leases, acquired in-place leases, other

identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities, as applicable, and allocate the fair value to the acquired assets and

assumed liabilities. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or

capitalization rates that we deem appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows

are based on a number of factors, including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and

economic conditions. We capitalize acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions.

Real estate assets held for investment, except for land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’

estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings,15 years for land improvements, and 10 years for tenant

improvements. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated

over their estimated useful lives. Lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of applicable leases on a straight-

line basis. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Real estate assets held for investment are assessed for impairment on a quarterly basis. If the depreciated cost basis of the

asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period, the asset is considered forimpairment. The

impairment loss is recognized when thecarrying value of the real estate assets exceed their fair value. The evaluation of

anticipated future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental

rates, capital requirements and anticipated holding periods that could differ materially from actual results. Refer to Note 4

for further information.

Real estate assets are classified as held for sale in the period when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360 “Property,

Plant, and Equipment.” Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation is suspended and the asset is

reported at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. If circumstances arise and we decide not to sell a

real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon

reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for

sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been classified as held for

investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time of reclassification.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 12 andseven owned real estate assets, respectively, that were all

classified as held for investment.

Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership

In the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement with M&T Realty Capital Corporation, or MTRCC, a

subsidiary of M&T Bank, that allows our borrowers to access multifamily agency financing through MTRCC’s Fannie

Mae DUS and Freddie Mac Optigo lending platforms, or our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership. We will receive a

portion of origination, servicing, and other fees for loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Additionally, we will share in losses with MTRCC and Fannie Mae on loans that we refer

to MTRCC for origination under the Fannie Mae program.

For loans that we refer to MTRCC for origination under both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, we recognize our

allocable portion of origination, servicing, and other fees in other income when we have satisfied our performance

obligations in accordance with the “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 606. Our

performance obligations are generally satisfied when the loan is referred by us to MTRCC and subsequently originated and

sold under the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. A portion of the fees recognized, such as servicing fees, are variable

and will be reevaluated for collectibility on a recurring basis.

Loss-sharing Obligation

Pursuant to our agreement with MTRCC, we are subject to a loss-sharing obligation with respect to MTRCC’s obligation

to partially guarantee the performance of loans that they originate and sell under the Fannie Mae program. This loss-

sharing agreement requires us to fund a fixed amount of cash into a segregated account based on the amount MTRCC is

required to fund under the Fannie Mae program, with respect to loans we referred to MTRCC.

In addition, we will recognize a liability for these loss-sharing obligations. This liability will be initially recognized at fair

value with a corresponding expense at inception, and it will subsequently be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life

of the loss-sharing obligation. This liability is included within other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of

December 31, 2025, our maximum loss-sharing obligation associated with the loans referred by us to MTRCC under the

Fannie Mae program was$5.5 million, and we have recorded related liabilities of$32,000. There have beenno losses

incurred as a result of the loss-sharing obligations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We classify all derivative financial instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets

at fair value.

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we designate each contract as (i) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign

operation, or net investment hedge, (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received

or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or fair

value hedge, or (iv) a derivative instrument not to be designated as a hedging derivative, or non-designated hedge. For all

derivatives other than those designated as non-designated hedges, we formally document our hedge relationships and

designation at the contract’s inception. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instruments and the

hedged items, its risk management objectives, strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and our evaluation of the

effectiveness of its hedged transaction.

On a quarterly basis, we also formally assess whether the derivative we designated in each hedging relationship is expected

to be, and has been, highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined

that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the

changes in fair value of the instrument are included in net income prospectively. Our net investment hedges are assessed

using a method based on changes in spot exchange rates. Gains and losses, representing hedge components excluded from

the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in interest income on our consolidated statements of operations over the

contractual term of our net investment hedges on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in

accordance with our accounting policy election. All other changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments that

qualify as hedges are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated

financial statements. Deferred gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and

into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and are presented in the

same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, this is typically when the periodic swap

settlements are made, while for net investment hedges, this occurs when the hedged item is sold or substantially liquidated.

To the extent a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is deemed a non-designated hedge, the changes in its

fair value are included in net income concurrently.

Proceeds or payments from periodic settlements of derivative instruments are classified on our consolidated statement of

cash flows in the same section as the underlying hedged item.

Secured Debt and Asset-Specific Debt

We record investments financed with secured debt or asset-specific debt as separate assets and the related borrowings

under any secured debt or asset-specific debt are recorded as separate liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest

income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the secured debt or asset-specific debt are reported

separately on our consolidated statements of operations.

Loan Participations Sold

In certain instances, we have executed a syndication of a non-recourse loan interest to a third party. Depending on the

particular structure of the syndication, the loan interest may remain on our GAAP balance sheet or, in other cases, the sale

will be recognized and the loan interest will no longer be included in our consolidated financial statements. When these

sales are not recognized under GAAP we reflect the transaction by recording a loan participation sold liability on our

consolidated balance sheet; however, this gross presentation does not impact stockholders’ equity or net income. When the

sales are recognized, our balance sheet only includes our remaining loan interest, and excludes the interest in the loan that

we sold.

Term Loans

We record our term loans as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount or

transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the term loans as additional non-cash interest

expense.

Senior Secured Notes

We record our senior secured notes as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Where applicable, any issue discount

or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the senior secured notes as additional non-

cash interest expense.

Convertible Notes

Convertible note proceeds, unless issued with a substantial premium or an embedded conversion feature, are classified as

debt. Additionally, shares issuable under our convertible notes are included in diluted earnings per share in our

consolidated financial statements, if the effect is dilutive, using the if-converted method, regardless of settlement intent.

Where applicable, any issue discount or transaction expenses are deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the

convertible notes as additional non-cash interest expense.

Deferred Financing Costs

The deferred financing costs that are included as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on our

consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as

interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Underwriting Commissions and Offering Costs

Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common stock offerings are reflected as a

reduction of additional paid-in capital. Costs incurred that are not directly associated with the completion of a common

stock offering are expensed when incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the FASB, or ASC 820, defines fair value, establishes a

framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP.

Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an

asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in

measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of

financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the

existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted

prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment

used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs

used in the determination, as follows:

•Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical

financial instruments as of the reporting date.

•Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active

or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other

observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates.

•Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if

any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by

management of third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the

criteria of Levels 1 and 2.

Certain of our other assets are reported at fair value, as of quarter-end, either (i) on a recurring basis or (ii) on a

nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. Our assets that are recorded at fair value are discussed further

in Note 19. We generally value our assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on

assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from

third parties. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, we measure impairment by comparing our

estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These

valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing,

creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions

of other lenders, and other factors.

We have elected the FVO for one of our investments in an unconsolidated entity, our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture,

and therefore report this investment at fair value. Given the fair value of this investment is not readily determinable, the net

asset value of the entity is used as a practical expedient.

receivable with an aggregate amortized cost basis of$174.6 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds. The CECL reserve was

recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of the loans' aggregate underlying collateral as of December 31, 2025.

These loans receivable are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs,

and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. We estimated the fair value of the collateral underlying the

loans receivable by considering a variety of inputs including property performance, market data, and comparable sales, as

applicable. The significant unobservable inputs employed include the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast

the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from 6.50% to 8.00%, and the unlevered discount

rate assumption, which ranged from 9.25% to 15.00%.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we acquired legal title or otherwise consolidated five owned real estate assets

through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions or loan modifications that resulted in us consolidating the collateral assets.

At the time of each acquisition, we determined the fair value of each real estate asset based on a variety of inputs including,

but not limited to, estimated cash flow projections, leasing assumptions, required capital expenditures, market data, and

comparable sales. The owned real estate assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant

unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs

employed include (i) the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast the future sale price of the assets, which ranged

from 6.00% to 8.55%, and (ii) the unlevered discount rate assumptions, which ranged from 7.00% to 10.55%. Refer to

Notes 4 and 19 for further information.

We are also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, which are not otherwise

reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those

instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which

it is practicable to estimate that value:

•Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

•Loans receivable, net: The fair values of these loans were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology,

taking into consideration various factors including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, credit worthiness of

major tenants, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other

lenders, and other factors.

•Derivative financial instruments: The fair value of our foreign currency and interest rate contracts was estimated

using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs

comprising foreign currency rates and credit spreads.

•Secured debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar credit

facility would currently be priced.

•Securitized debt obligations, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated by utilizing third-party pricing

service providers. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-

dealer quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the

reported price.

•Asset-specific debt, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the rate at which a similar

agreement would currently be priced.

•Loan participations sold, net: The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on the value of the related

loan receivable asset.

Income Taxes

Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes on our REIT taxable income.

We believe that we operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, we generally

do not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes other than those payable by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we were

to fail to meet these requirements, we may be subject to federal, state, and local income tax on current and past income, and

penalties. Refer to Note 17 for further information.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to our Manager, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of

our Manager, and certain members of our board of directors that vest over the life of the awards, as well as deferred stock

units issued to certain members of our board of directors. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these

awards in net income on a variable basis over the applicable vesting period of the awards, based on the value of our class A

common stock. Refer to Note 18 for further information.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share, or Basic EPS, is computed in accordance with the two-class method and is based on (i) the net

earnings allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units,

divided by (ii) the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common

stock and deferred stock units outstanding during the period. Our restricted class A common stock is considered a

participating security, as defined by GAAP, and has been included in our Basic EPS under the two-class method as these

restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains or

losses.

Diluted earnings per share, or Diluted EPS, is determined using the if-converted method, and is based on (i) the net

earnings, adjusted for interest expense incurred on our convertible notes during the relevant period, net of incentive fees,

allocable to our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock and deferred stock units, divided by (ii)

the weighted-average number of shares of our class A common stock, including restricted class A common stock, deferred

stock units, and shares of class A common stock issuable under our convertible notes. Refer to Note 15 for further

discussion of earnings per share.

Foreign Currency

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions not denominated in United States, or U.S., dollars. Foreign

exchange gains and losses arising on such transactions are recorded as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of

operations. In addition, we consolidate entities that have a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. Non-U.S. dollar-

denominated assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and

income, expenses, gains, and losses are translated at the average exchange rate over the applicable period. Cumulative

translation adjustments arising from the translation of non-U.S. dollar-denominated subsidiaries are recorded in other

comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270):

Narrow Scope Improvements,” which amends the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting. The update enhances interim

disclosure requirements by clarifying the information that must be presented in quarterly periods, including improved

transparency regarding significant events, accounting policy updates, and material developments that occur between annual

reporting dates. ASU 2025-11 also aligns certain interim reporting requirements more closely with annual disclosure

objectives to promote consistency and comparability. The amendments are effective for interim periods beginning after

Credit Losses. This update provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current

accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The amendment

notes that in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may

elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining

life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods

within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. We have not early adopted ASU 2025-05 and do not expect

3. LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET

The following table details overall statistics for our loans receivable portfolio ($ in thousands):

(1)Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real

estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will

generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.

(2)The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark

rates, which include SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, and other indices, as applicable to each loan. As of

December 31, 2025,97% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to

SOFR. The remaining 3% of our loans by principal balance earned a fixed rate of interest. As of December 31, 2024,

substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to SOFR. In

addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan

origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the

cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any.

(3)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid

prior to such date. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery and nonaccrual methods, if any. As of

December 31, 2025,40% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment

restrictions and 60% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty. As of December 31, 2024,10% of

our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 90% were

open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

The following table details the index rate floors for our loans receivable portfolio as of December 31, 2025 ($ in

(1)Includes Euro, British Pound Sterling, Swedish Krona, Australian Dollar, and Canadian Dollar currencies.

(2)Includes all impaired loans.

(3)As of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average index rate floor of our floating-rate loans receivable principal

balance was 1.31%. Excluding 0.0% index rate floors and loans with no floor, the weighted-average index rate floor

was 1.92%.

Activity relating to our loans receivable portfolio was as follows ($ in thousands):

(1)Other items primarily consist ofpurchase and sale discounts or premiums, exit fees, deferred origination expenses,

and cost-recovery proceeds.

(2)This amount relates to: (i) intangible and other assets recorded in connection with loans that were transferred to

owned real estate, net of any liabilities recorded upon acquisition, if any; (ii) a loan that was partially satisfied

through the issuance of a note receivable in 2024; and (iii) proceeds from loan repayments that are held in escrow,

all of which are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for further information.

(3)Excludes a charge-off of CECL reserves of$6.8 million related to a note receivable issued in 2024 that was deemed

non-recoverable. This amount was previously recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note

6 for further information.

proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of$733.9 million, and (iv)$100.1 million of junior loan

interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for further

discussion of loan participations sold. Our asset-specific debt and loan participations sold are structurally non-

recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral loans.

Loan Risk Ratings

As further described in Note 2, we evaluate our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan

portfolio review, we assess the risk factors of each loan, and assign a risk rating based on several factors. Factors

considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, risk of loss, origination LTV, debt yield, collateral

performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings

are defined in Note 2.

The following tables allocate the net book value and net loan exposure balances based on our internal risk ratings ($ in

recovery proceeds, and (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of$284.4 million. Our net loan exposure as of

December 31, 2024 is our principal balancenet of (i)$1.2 billion of asset-specific debt, (ii)$106.7 million of cost-

recovery proceeds, (iii) our total loans receivable CECL reserve of$733.9 million, and (iv)$100.1 million of junior

loan interests that we have sold, but that remain included in our consolidated financial statements. Our asset-specific

debt and loan participations sold are structurally non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding collateral

loans.

Our loan portfolio had a weighted-average risk rating of 3.0, based on net loan exposure, as of both December 31, 2025 and

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve

The CECL reserves required under GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to the loans included

in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our CECL reserves. The following table

presents the activity in our loans receivable CECL reserve by investment pool for theyears ended December 31, 2025 and

2024 ($ in thousands):

(1)Includesone U.S. dollar-denominated loan that is located in Bermuda.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a netdecrease of$449.5 million in the CECL reserves against our

loans receivable portfolio, primarily driven by a$493.3 million decrease in our asset-specific CECL reserve. This decrease

was driven by charge-offs of our CECL reserves of$556.1 million primarily related to (i) the resolution ofeight previously

impaired loans resulting in aggregate charge-offs of$338.0 million, and (ii)$218.1 million of charge-offs related tothree

previously impaired subordinate loans that were deemed non-recoverable as part of our ongoing assessment of collectibility

of our impaired loan portfolio. These charge-offs of CECL reserves were concentrated in the office sector, with

$338.1 million of such charge-offs, generally driven by adverse trends in the office sector in recent years, including

reduced tenant demand for office space and limited liquidity for office assets in capital markets. This decrease in our asset-

specific CECL reserve was partially offset by a$43.8 million increase in our general CECL reserve, bringing our total

loans receivable CECL reserves to$284.4 million as of December 31, 2025. Theincrease in our general CECL reserve was

primarily as a result ofan increase in the historical loss rate used in reserve calculations related to the additional CECL

charge-offs.

receivable, with a total amortized cost basis of$174.6 million, net of cost-recovery proceeds. Impairments are each

determined individually as a result of changes in the specific credit quality factors for each such loan. These factors

included, among others, (i) the underlying collateral performance, (ii) discussions with the borrower, (iii) borrower events

of default, and (iv) other facts that impact the borrower’s ability to pay the contractual amounts due under the terms of the

loan. This asset-specific CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each loan’s underlying

collateral as of December 31, 2025.

No income was recorded on our impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. Duringthe year ended

December 31, 2025, we received an aggregate$42.4 million of cash proceeds from such loans that were applied as a

reduction to the amortized cost basis of each respective loan.

As of December 31, 2025, one of our performing loans with an amortized cost basis of$98.3 million was in technical

default as a result of the non-payment of an extension fee. The loan was not past its maturity date and was current on its

interest payment, and had a risk rating of “4.” All other borrowers under performing loans were in compliance with the

applicable contractual terms of each respective loan, including any required payment of interest. Refer to Note 2 for further

discussion of our policies on revenue recognition and our CECL reserves.

Our primary credit quality indicator is our risk ratings, which are further discussed above. The following tables present the

net book value of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, by year of origination,

investment pool, and risk rating ($ in thousands):

Loan Modifications Pursuant to ASC 326

During thetwelve months ended December 31, 2025, we entered into four loan modifications that require disclosure

pursuant to ASC 326. Three of these loans were collateralized by office assets andone was collateralized by a life sciences/

studio asset.

One of the loan modifications included a term extension combined with an other-than-insignificant payment delay. This

loan modification had a term extension of 3.8 years, the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate

loan, and the borrower paid a$1.7 million fee upon closing of the modification. We are accruing interest on the senior loan,

which is paying interest current, and deferring interest on the subordinate loan that is paying interest in-kind. As of

December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis of this loan was$242.1 million, or 1.3% of our aggregate loans receivable

portfolio, withno unfunded commitments. This loan was in compliance with its modified contractual terms as of

The other three loan modifications included term extensions combined with other-than-insignificant payment delays and

interest rate reductions. The first loan modification included a term extension ofone year, the interest rate on the senior

loan decreased by 2.43%, the borrower repaid$25.0 million upon closing of the modification, and the loan was bifurcated

into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan. The senior loan is paying interest partially current, and partially in-kind,

while the subordinate loan is paying interest in-kind. We are accruing all of the interest on the senior loan and deferring

interest on the subordinate loan. The second loan modification included a term extension of 4.3 years, the interest rate

decreased by 3.56%, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and subordinate loan. We are accruing all of

the interest on the senior loan that is paying current, and deferring interest income on the subordinate loan, which is paid-

in-kind. The third loan modification included a term extension of 4.3 years, the interest rate decreased by 4.19%, the

borrower repaid$12.7 million upon closing of the modification, and the loan was bifurcated into a separate senior loan and

subordinate loan. We are accruing all of the interest on the senior loan that is paying current and deferring interest income

on the subordinate loan, which is paid-in-kind. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amortized cost basis of these loans

was$387.4 million, or 2.1% of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate$68.1 million of unfunded

commitments. These loans were in compliance with their modified contractual terms as of December 31, 2025.

Allfour of these loans had a risk rating of “5” at the time of modification. In aggregate, these modifications resulted in the

bifurcation of allfour loans into separate senior and subordinate loans, oreight loans in aggregate. As of December 31,

2025, three of the newly bifurcated senior loans had a risk rating of “4,” andone had a risk rating of “3.” Thefour newly

bifurcated subordinate loans all had a risk rating of “5.”

Loans with a risk rating of “3” and “4” are included in the determination of our general CECL reserve and loans with a risk

rating of “5” have an asset-specific CECL reserve. Loan modifications that allow the option to pay interest in-kind increase

our potential economics and the size of our secured claim, as interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal

balance for applicable loans. As of December 31, 2025, no income was recorded on our loans subsequent to determining

that they were impaired and risk rated “5.”

4. OWNED REAL ESTATE, NET

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 12 andseven owned real estate assets, respectively. During the

year ended December 31, 2025, we acquired five owned real estate assets through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions

or loan modifications that resulted in us consolidating the collateral assets, for a total acquisition price of$654.3 million.

We allocated$279.7 million to land and land improvements,$287.7 million to building and building improvements,

$81.1 million to acquired intangible assets, and$5.8 million to other components of the purchase price. In aggregate, we

charged off$220.7 million of CECL reserves relating to the loans that had previously been secured by these assets, as the

loans’ aggregate carrying value of$875.0 million at the time of the owned real estate acquisitions exceeded the acquisition

date fair value noted above. See Note 2 for further discussion of owned real estate assets.

The acquisition offive owned real estate assets during theyear ended December 31, 2025 were accounted for as asset

acquisitions under ASC 805, and we recognized these properties as owned real estate assets held for investment. The

5. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

As of December 31, 2025, we hold certain investments in unconsolidated entities that are accounted for under the equity

method of accounting or the FVO, as our ownership interest in each entity does not meet the requirements for

consolidation. Refer to Note 2 for further details.

The following tables detail our investments in unconsolidated entities ($ in thousands):

CLO trustees during the subsequent remittance cycle.

(3)Represents the CECL reserve related to our unfunded loan commitments.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserves for Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of December 31, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of$1.2 billion related to 53 loans. The expected credit

losses over the contractual period of our loans are impacted by our obligations to extend further credit through our

unfunded loan commitments. See Note 2 for further discussion of the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan

commitments, and Note 22 for further discussion of our unfunded loan commitments. During theyear ended December 31,

2025, we recordedan increase in the CECL reserves related to our unfunded loan commitments of$1.2 million, bringing

our total unfunded loan commitments CECL reserve to$11.6 million as of December 31, 2025. During theyear ended

The following table details our secured debt ($ in thousands):

(1)Costs incurred in connection with our secured debt are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets when incurred

and recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of each related facility.

Secured Credit Facilities

Our secured credit facilities are bilateral agreements we use to finance diversified pools of senior loan collateral with

sufficient flexibility to accommodate our investment and asset management strategy. The facilities are generally structured

to provide currency, index, and term-matched financing without capital markets-based mark-to-market provisions. Our

credit facilities are diversified across 15 counterparties, primarily consisting of top global financial institutions to minimize

our counterparty risk exposure.

The following table details our secured credit facilities as of December 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1)Represents the number of lenders with fundings advanced in each respective currency, as well as the total number of

facility lenders. The total number of facility lenders includesone additional lender that hadno fundings advanced as

of December 31, 2025.

(2)Our secured debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral. Therefore, the weighted-

average maturity is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective secured

credit facility is used.

(3)Represents the principal balance of the collateral loan assets and the carrying value of the collateral owned real

(4)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; however, our loans may be repaid

prior to such date.

(5)Includes Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Swedish Krona currencies.

The availability of funding under our secured credit facilities is based on the amount of approved collateral, which

collateral is proposed by us in our discretion and approved by the respective counterparty in its discretion, resulting in a

mutually agreed collateral portfolio construction. Certain structural elements of our secured credit facilities, including the

limitation on recourse to us and facility economics, are influenced by the specific collateral portfolio construction of each

facility, and therefore vary within and among the facilities.

The following tables detail the spread of our secured credit facilities as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 ($ in

(1)The spread, all-in cost, and all-in yield are expressed over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include

Our secured credit facilities generally permit us to increase or decrease the amount advanced against the pledged collateral

in our discretion within certain maximum/minimum amounts and frequency limitations. As of December 31, 2025, there

was an aggregate$551.6 million available to be drawn at our discretion under our credit facilities.

Financial Covenants

As of December 31, 2025, we are subject to the following financial covenants related to our secured debt and secured debt

of our unconsolidated entities: (i) our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to

fixed charges, as defined in the agreements, shall be not less than 1.3 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the

total assets. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.

8. SECURITIZED DEBT OBLIGATIONS, NET

We have financed certain pools of our loans through CLOs and have also financed one of our loans through a securitization

vehicle, or the European Loan Securitization. The CLOs and the European Loan Securitization are consolidated in our

financial statements and have issued securitized debt obligations that are non-recourse to us. Refer to Note 20 for further

discussion of our CLOs and the European Loan Securitization. The following tables detail our securitized debt obligations

and the underlying collateral assets that are financed by our CLOs and the European Loan Securitization ($ in thousands):

(3)The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates,

which is SOFR for the CLOs and EURIBOR for the European Loan Securitization. All-in yield excludes loans

extension options are exercised by the borrower, and excludes owned real estate assets. Repayments of securitized

debt obligations are tied to timing of the related collateral loan asset repayments. The term of these obligations

represents the rated final distribution date of the securitizations.

(5)We financed our$55.8 million retained interests in the securitization under a repurchase agreement structured

without capital markets-based mark-to-market provisions. The amount of the financing is included in other liabilities

on our consolidated balance sheets.

(6)During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we recorded$140.0 million of interest expense related to our securitized

9. ASSET-SPECIFIC DEBT, NET

The following tables detail our asset-specific debt ($ in thousands):

(2)The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates,

which include SOFR and CORRA, as applicable. These floating rate loans and related liabilities are currency and

index-matched to the applicable benchmark rate relevant in each arrangement. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost

includes the amortization of deferred origination fees and financing costs.

(3)The weighted-average term is determined based on the maximum maturity of the corresponding loans, assuming all

extension options are exercised by the borrower. Our non-recourse, asset-specific debt is term-matched in each case

to the corresponding collateral loans.

10. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS SOLD, NET

The sale of a non-recourse interest in a loan through a participation agreement generally does not qualify for sale

accounting under GAAP. For such transactions, we therefore present the whole loan as an asset and the loan participation

sold as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet until the loan is repaid. We generally have no obligation to pay

principal and interest under these liabilities, and the gross presentation of loan participations sold does not impact our

stockholders’ equity or net income.

We did not have any loan participations sold as of December 31, 2025. The following table details our loan participations

sold as of December 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

(2)The weighted-average all-in yield and cost are expressed over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include

SOFR and SONIA, as applicable. This non-debt participation sold structure is inherently matched in terms of

currency and interest rate. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost includes the amortization of deferred fees and

financing costs.

(3)The term is determined based on the maximum maturity of the loan, assuming all extension options are exercised by

the borrower. Our loan participations sold are inherently non-recourse and term-matched to the corresponding loan.

(4)During theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded$6.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of

interest expense related to our loan participations sold.

11. TERM LOANS, NET

$453.1 million under the B-7 Term Loan, and (iii)$700.0 million under the B-8 Term Loan. The proceeds from the B-6

Term Loan were used to repay$400.0 million in principal outstanding under the B-4 Term Loan and all$648.4 million in

principal outstanding under the B-5 Term Loan. The proceeds from the B-7 Term Loan were used, among other things, to

repay the remaining$403.1 million in principal outstanding under the B-4 Term Loan. The proceeds from the B-8 Term

Loan were used, among other things, to repay all$309.3 million in principal outstanding under the B-1 Term Loan and to

which were used, among other things, to repay all$695.8 million in principal outstanding under the B-6 Term Loan. The

B-9 Term Loan bears interest at SOFR +2.50% and matures in December 2030.

The following table details the net book value of each of our senior term loan facilities, or Term Loans, on our consolidated

(1)The B-6 Term Loan and B-7 Term Loan borrowings are subject to a benchmark interest rate floor of 0.50%. The

Term loans are indexed to one-month SOFR.

(2)Includes issue discount and transaction expenses that are amortized through interest expense over the life of the

applicable Term Loans.

The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the aggregate initial principal

balance due in quarterly installments. There wasno repurchase activity or gain on debt extinguishment during theyear

ended December 31, 2025. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of

$2.3 million of the B-1 Term Loan at a weighted-average price of 99%. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt

of$25,000 during theyear ended December 31, 2024.

The following table details our interest expense related to the Term Loans ($ in thousands):

The Term Loans contain the financial covenant that our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets. As of

December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with this covenant. Refer to Note 2 for further

discussion of our accounting policies for the Term Loans.

There wasno repurchase activity or gain on debt extinguishment during theyear ended December 31, 2025. During the

years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $30.8 million and

$33.9 million, respectively, of the October 2021 Senior Secured Notes at a weighted-average price of 88% and 85% of par,

respectively. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of$3.3 million and$4.6 million during the years ended

December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Senior Secured Notes contain the financial covenant that our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with this covenant. Under certain

circumstances, we may, at our option, release all of the collateral securing our Senior Secured Notes, in which case we

would also be required to maintain a total unencumbered assets to total unsecured indebtedness ratio of 1.20 or greater.

This covenant is not currently in effect as the collateral securing our Senior Secured Notes has not been released.

13. CONVERTIBLE NOTES, NET

The following table details the net book value of our convertible senior notes, or Convertible Notes, on our consolidated

(1)Includes issuance costs that are amortized through interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes using the

effective interest method.

(2)Represents the price of class A common stock per share based on a conversion rate of 27.5702 for the Convertible

Notes. The conversion rate represents the number of shares of class A common stock issuable per$1,000 principal

amount of Convertible Notes. The cumulative dividend threshold hasnot been exceeded as of December 31, 2025.

Other than as provided by the optional redemption provisions with respect to our Convertible Notes, we may not redeem

the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of our

class A common stock, only under specific circumstances, prior to the close of business on December 14, 2026 at the

applicable conversion rate in effect on the conversion date. Thereafter, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option

of the holder at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The last reported

sale price of our class A common stock of$19.13 on December 31, 2025, the last trading day in theyear ended

December 31, 2025, was less than the per share conversion price of the Convertible Notes.

There wasno repurchase activity during theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2023. During theyear ended

December 31, 2024, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of$33.8 million of the Convertible Notes at a

weighted-average price of 93% of par. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of$2.0 million during theyear

ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

The following table details our interest expense relatedto the Convertible Notes ($ in thousands):

Accrued interest payable for the Convertible Notes was$4.3 million as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31,

2024. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our accounting policies for the Convertible Notes.

2025. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The objective of our use of derivative financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our

investments and/or financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair

value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not

designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and other

identified risks. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of the accounting for designated and non-designated hedges.

The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these

contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, we only enter into derivative financial

instruments with counterparties that have appropriate credit ratings and are major financial institutions with which we and

our affiliates also have other financial relationships.

Net Investment Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

Certain of our international investments expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and currency exchange rates.

These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional currency, the U.S.

dollar. We use foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash

flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

Designated Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

The following table details our outstanding foreign exchange derivatives that were designated as net investment hedges of

foreign currency risk (notional amounts in thousands):

Non-designated Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk

The following table details our outstanding foreign exchange derivatives that were non-designated hedges of foreign

currency risk (notional amounts in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Certain of our financing transactions expose us to a fixed versus floating rate mismatch between our assets and liabilities.

We use derivative financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps (and may also include interest rate caps, interest

rate options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts) to hedge interest rate risk associated with our borrowings

where there is potential for an index mismatch.

The following table details our outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate

risk (notional amounts in thousands):

No cash flow hedges of interest rate risk were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Certain of our corporate financings expose us to fluctuations in the fair value of our outstanding fixed rate debt. We use

derivative financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps, to hedge interest rate risk associated with changes in the

fair value of our fixed rate debt. The changes in the value of the interest rate swap is recognized in earnings and offset the

corresponding changes in the fair value of the debt.

Designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The following tables detail our outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as fair value hedges of interest rate

risk (notional amount in thousands):

hedges ($ in thousands):

Financial Statement Impact of Hedges of Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risks

The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on our consolidated statements of operations

($ in thousands):

(1)Represents the forward points earned on our foreign currency forward contracts, which reflect the interest rate

differentials between the applicable base rate for our foreign currency investments and prevailing U.S. interest rates.

These forward contracts effectively convert the foreign currency rate exposure for such investments to

USD-equivalent interest rates.

(2)Represents the financial statement impact of proceeds (payments) from periodic settlements related to our interest

rate swap.

(3)Represents the realized loss on an interest rate swap related to our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture that was

entered into and subsequently terminated during 2025, and the spot rate movement in our non-designated foreign

currency hedges, which are marked to market and recognized in interest expense.

Fair Value Hedges

The following table presents the net gains(losses)on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedging

relationships ($ in thousands):

$59.8 million, and$69.9 million, respectively, on our foreign currency forward contracts. Those amounts are

included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheets.

Credit–Risk Related Contingent Features

We have entered into agreements with certain of our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we were to

default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the

lender, we may also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. In addition, certain of our agreements with our

derivative counterparties require that we post collateral to secure net liability positions. As of December 31, 2025, we were

in a netasset position withone of our counterparties and in a net liability position with our othertwo counterparties related

to our foreign exchange hedges and had$25.3 million collateral posted with such counterparties. As of December 31, 2024,

we were in a net asset position with our counterparties related to our foreign exchange hedges and had$4.8 million of

collateral posted with one counterparty related to our interest rate swap.

15. EQUITY

Stock and Stock Equivalents

Authorized Capital

As of December 31, 2025 we had the authority to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 400,000,000 shares

of class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to applicable NYSE listing requirements, our

board of directors is authorized to cause us to issue additional shares of authorized stock without stockholder approval. In

addition, to the extent not issued, currently authorized stock may be reclassified between class A common stock and

preferred stock. As of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we didnot have any shares of preferred stock

issued and outstanding.

Share Repurchase Program

In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to$150.0 million of our class A common stock. In

October 2025, when the amount remaining available for repurchases under the program was$11.6 million, our board of

directors approved an amendment to the program to increase the amount available for repurchases under the program, as

amended, up to $150.0 million. Under the repurchase program, repurchases may be made from time to time in open market

transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, in agreements and arrangements structured in a manner consistent with

Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or otherwise. The timing and the actual amounts repurchased will

depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The repurchase

program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 6,010,699 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-

average price per share of$18.20, for a total cost of$109.4 million. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, we

repurchased 1,646,034 shares of class A common stock at a weighted-average price per share of$17.74, for a total cost of

$29.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, the amount remaining available for repurchases under the program was

$149.6 million.

Class A Common Stock and Deferred Stock Units

Holders of shares of our class A common stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and

are entitled to receive dividends authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, in all cases subject to the rights of

the holders of shares of outstanding preferred stock, if any.

We also issue restricted class A common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. Refer to Note 18 for further

discussion of these long-term incentive plans. In addition to our class A common stock, we also issue deferred stock units

to certain members of our board of directors for services rendered. These deferred stock units are non-voting, but carry the

right to receive dividends in the form of additional deferred stock units in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends paid

to holders of shares of class A common stock. Each vested deferred stock unit is settled by delivery of one share of class A

common stock upon the non-employee director’s separation from service.

The following table details the movement in our outstanding shares of class A common stock, including restricted class A

common stock and deferred stock units:

(1)Includes 340,029,412,096 and 359,464 deferred stock units held by members of our board of directors as of

December 31, 2025,2024, and 2023, respectively.

incentive plans during theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024, and 2023, respectively.

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan under which an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of

class A common stock are available for sale. Under the dividend reinvestment component of the plan, our class A common

stockholders can designate all or a portion of their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional shares of class A common

stock. Such shares may, at our option, be newly issued shares from us, shares purchased by the plan administrator on the

open market, or a combination thereof. The direct stock purchase component of the plan allows stockholders and new

investors, subject to our approval, to purchase shares of class A common stock directly from us. During theyears ended

December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, we issued 1,778,5849 and 6,587 shares respectively, of class A common stock under

the dividend reinvestment component of the plan. During theyear ended December 31, 2025,2,209 shares of class A

common stock were purchased on the open market by the plan administrator under the dividend reinvestment component of

the plan. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 9,965,125 shares of class A common stock remained available under the

dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan.

At the Market Stock Offering Program

As of December 31, 2025, we are party toseven equity distribution agreements, or ATM Agreements, pursuant to which

we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of$699.1 million of our class A common stock. Sales of

class A common stock made pursuant to our ATM Agreements may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that

are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual

sales depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our class A common stock, our capital

needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During theyears ended

December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, we didnot issue any shares of our class A common stock under ATM Agreements. As

of December 31, 2025, shares of our class A common stock with an aggregate sales price of$480.9 million remained

available for issuance and sale under our ATM Agreements.

Dividends

We generally intend to distribute substantially all of our taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as

calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code. Our dividend policy remains subject to revision at the

discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will

depend upon our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, applicable law, and other factors

as our board of directors deems relevant.

On December 15, 2025, we declared a dividend of $0.47 per share, or$79.1 million in aggregate, that was paid on January

15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2025.

The following table details our dividend activity ($ in thousands, except per share data):

Earnings Per Share

We calculate our basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented as the unvested

shares of our restricted class A common stock qualify as participating securities, as defined by GAAP. These restricted

shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any dividends, and

therefore have been included in our basic and diluted net income per share calculation. The shares issuable under our

Convertible Notes are included in dilutive earnings per share using the if-converted method when the effect is not

antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share of class A common stock based on

the weighted-average of both restricted and unrestricted class A common stock outstanding ($ in thousands, except per

share data):

Non-Controlling Interests

The non-controlling interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in our Multifamily

Joint Venture that are not owned by us. A portion of our Multifamily Joint Venture’s consolidated equity and results of

operations are allocated to these non-controlling interests based on their pro rata ownership of our Multifamily Joint

Venture. As of December 31, 2025, our Multifamily Joint Venture’s total equity was$36.5 million, of which$31.0 million

16. OTHER EXPENSES

Our other expenses consist of the management and incentive fees we pay to our Manager and our general and

administrative expenses.

Management and Incentive Fees

Pursuant to a management agreement betweenour Manager and us, or our Management Agreement, our Manager earns a

base management fee in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum multiplied by our Equity, as defined in the Management

Agreement. In addition, our Manager is entitled to an incentive fee in an amount equal to the product of (i)20% and (ii) the

excess of (a) our Core Earnings (as defined in our Management Agreement) for the previous 12-month period over (b) an

amount equal to 7.00% per annum multiplied by our Equity, provided that our Core Earnings over the prior three-year

period is greater than zero. Core Earnings, as defined in our Management Agreement, is generally equal to our GAAP net

income (loss), including realized gains and losses not otherwise recognized in current period GAAP net income (loss), and

excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), (iv)

net income (loss) attributable to our legacy portfolio, (v) certain non-cash items, and (vi) incentive management fees.

During theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024, and 2023, we incurred $67.6 million,$74.8 million, and$74.8 million,

respectively, of management fees payable to our Manager. During theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did

not incur any incentive fees payable to our Manager. During theyear ended December 31, 2023, we incurred$44.2 million

of incentive fees payable to our Manager.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had accrued management fees payable to our Manager of $16.4 million and

$18.5 million, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and admin istrative expenses consisted of the following ($ in thousands):

(1)During theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, we recognized an aggregate$266,000, $743,000 and

$1.2 million, respectively, of expenses related to our Multifamily Joint Venture.

17. INCOME TAXES

taxable years. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all REIT requirements.

Securitization transactions could result in the creation of taxable mortgage pools for federal income tax purposes. As a

REIT, so long as we own 100% of the equity interests in a taxable mortgage pool, we generally would not be adversely

affected by the characterization of the securitization as a taxable mortgage pool. Certain categories of stockholders,

however, such as foreign stockholders eligible for treaty or other benefits, stockholders with net operating losses, and

certain tax-exempt stockholders that are subject to unrelated business income tax, or UBTI, could be subject to increased

taxes on a portion of their dividend income from us that is attributable to the taxable mortgage pool. We have not made

UBTI distributions to our common stockholders and do not intend to make such UBTI distributions in the future.

During theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023, we recorded a current income tax provision of$3.7 million,

$2.4 million, and$5.4 million, respectively, primarily related to activities of our U.S. and foreign taxable subsidiaries and

various state and local taxes. We didnot have any deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025 or

We have net operating losses, or NOLs, generated by our predecessor business that may be carried forward and utilized in

current or future periods. As a result of our issuance of 25,875,000 shares of class A common stock in May 2013, the

availability of our NOLs is generally limited to$2.0 million per annum by change of control provisions promulgated by the

Internal Revenue Service with respect to the ownership of Blackstone Mortgage Trust. As of December 31, 2025, we had

estimated NOLs of$159.0 million that will expire in 2029, unless they are utilized by us prior to expiration. Previously, we

recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs as we expected that they would expire unutilized. However,

although uncertain, we may utilize a portion of NOLs prior to expiration. We do not expect the utilization of NOLs to have

a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against such NOLs

as it is probable that they will expire unutilized.

19. FAIR VALUES

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in thousands):

This table excludes$111.0 million of investments in unconsolidated entities that are measured at fair value using net asset

value as a practical expedient and not classified in the fair value hierarchy as December 31, 2025. No assets were measured

at fair value using net asset value as a practical expedient as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 5 for further information.

Refer to Note 2 for further discussion regarding fair value measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As discussed in Note 2, GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not

recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

The following table details the book value, face amount, and fair value of the financial instruments described in Note 2

($ in thousands):

(1)Included within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for further information.

Estimates of fair value for cash and cash equivalents and convertible notes are measured using observable, quoted market

prices, or Level 1 inputs. Estimates of fair value for securitized debt obligations, the Term Loans, and the Senior Secured

Notes are measured using observable, quoted market prices, in inactive markets, or Level 2 inputs. All other fair value

significant estimates are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding

fair value measurement of certain of our assets and liabilities.

20. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We have financed a portion of our loans through the CLOs and the European Loan Securitization, all of which are VIEs.

We are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidate, the CLOs and the European Loan Securitization on our

balance sheet as we (i) control the relevant interests of the CLOs and the European Loan Securitization that give us power

to direct the activities that most significantly affect the CLOs and the European Loan Securitization, and (ii) have the right

to receive benefits and obligation to absorb losses of the CLOs and the European Loan Securitization through the

subordinate interests we own.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we modified three loans that included, among other changes, control over

decision making at the respective properties. Similarly, during 2024, we modifiedtwo other loans that included, among

other changes, an equity interest in and/or control over decision-making at the property. As a result of these modifications,

our investments in these loans are VIEs. As of December 31, 2025, we are the primary beneficiary of, and therefore

consolidated the assets of these VIEs on our balance sheet as we (i) have the power to direct the activities that most

significantly affect the property, and (ii) have the right to receive excess sale proceeds upon exit.

The following table details the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs ($ in thousands):

Assets held by these VIEs are restricted and can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, including the subordinate

interests of the securitized debt obligations owned by us. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only

be satisfied from the assets of the VIEs. The consolidation of these VIEs results in an increase in our gross assets,

liabilities, revenues and expenses; however, it does not affect our stockholders’ equity or net income. We are not obligated

to provide, have not provided, and do not intend to provide material financial support to these consolidated VIEs.

21. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Our Manager

held by our Manager of$13.6 million,$16.6 million and$14.6 million, respectively. Refer to Note 18 for further details on

our restricted class A common stock.

As of December 31, 2025, our Manager, its affiliates (including Blackstone and Blackstone-advised investment vehicles),

Blackstone employees, and our directors held an aggregate 13,486,205 shares, or 8.0%, of our class A common stock, of

shares of our class A common stock and/or engage in derivatives transactions related to our class A common stock. Any

such transactions would be made in the sole discretion of the relevant party based on market conditions and other

considerations relevant to such parties.

Affiliate Services

We have engaged certain portfolio companies owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles to provide, as applicable,

management, corporate support, and transaction support services. The following table details the costs incurred for these

services ($ in thousands):

(1)Successor entity to EQ Management, LLC that provides the same services.

(2)Provides loan origination services related to certain of our investments.

We have engaged other affiliates of our Manager to provide various services. The following table details the costs incurred

for these services ($ in thousands):

(1)In the first quarter of 2024, in order to provide insurance for our owned real estate assets, we became a member of

Gryphon Mutual Property Americas IC, or Gryphon, a captive insurance company owned by us and other

Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. A Blackstone affiliate provides oversight and advisory services to Gryphon

and receives fees based on a percentage of premiums paid for such policies. The fees and expenses of Gryphon,

including insurance premiums and fees paid to its manager, are paid annually and borne by us and the other

Blackstone-advised investment vehicles that are members of Gryphon pro rata based on insurance premiums paid

for each party’s respective properties. During theyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we paid$1.6 million

and$660,000, respectively, to Gryphon for insurance costs, inclusive of premiums, capital surplus contributions,

taxes, and our pro rata share of other expenses. Of these amounts,$90,000 and$13,000, respectively, was

attributable to the fee paid to a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services to Gryphon. The

amounts included in the table above reflect the amortization of the insurance expense over the relevant periods of the

respective policies.

(2)During theyear ended December 31, 2025, Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., or BSP, an affiliate of our Manager,

was engaged as a member of the syndicate for our B-6 Term Loan, B-7 Term Loan, and B-8 Term Loan. During the

year ended December 31, 2024, BSP was engaged as a member of the syndicate for our B-5 Term Loan and 2024

Senior Secured Notes. These engagements were on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated third parties. BSP was

not engaged for any such transactions during theyear ended December 31, 2023.

(3)Lexington National Land Services, or LNLS, a title agent company owned by Blackstone, acts as an agent for one or

more underwriters in issuing title policies and/or providing support services in connection with investments made by

us, Blackstone and their affiliates and related parties, and third parties. LNLS focuses on transactions in rate-

regulated states where the cost of title insurance is non-negotiable. LNLS will not perform services in non-regulated

states for us, unless (i) in the context of a portfolio transaction that includes properties in rate-regulated states, (ii) as

part of a syndicate of title insurance companies where the rate is negotiated by other insurers or their agents, (iii)

when a third party is paying all or a material portion of the premium or (iv) when providing only support services to

the underwriter. LNLS earns fees, which would have otherwise been paid to third parties, by providing title agency

services and facilitating placement of title insurance with underwriters. Blackstone receives distributions from LNLS

in connection with investments made by us based on its equity interest in LNLS. In each case, there will be no

related expense offset to us.

(4)Affiliates of our Manager own an interest in the controlling entity of BTIG, LLC, or BTIG. BTIG has been engaged

as a broker for repurchases of our Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes. During theyear ended

December 31, 2025, there wasno repurchase activity. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased

$30.8 million and$33.8 million of our Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes, respectively, utilizing BTIG as

a broker. During theyear ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased$500,000 of our Senior Secured Notes utilizing

BTIG as a broker. Additionally, we have engaged BTIG as a sales agent to sell shares of our class A common stock

under one of our ATM Agreements. During theyears ended December 31, 2025,2024, and 2023, we did not sell

any shares under our ATM Agreements. Our engagements of BTIG are on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated

third parties under similar arrangements.

CT Investment Management Co., LLC, or CTIMCO, serves as the special servicer of all of our CLOs, and the Manager

serves as the collateral manager and benchmark agent for our FL5 CLO issued in the first quarter of 2025. As of

December 31, 2025, one of our assets was in special servicing under a CLO. CTIMCO and our Manager have waived any

fees that would be payable to a third party serving in such roles pursuant to the applicable agreements, and no such fees

have been paid or will become payable to CTIMCO or our Manager.

Other Transactions

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, we invested$1.7 billion inten senior loans and$122.1 million infour

mezzanine loans to unaffiliated third parties in which Blackstone-advised investment vehicles also invested at the same

level of the capital structure on a pari passu basis.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired an aggregate$63.0 million participation in

our$700.0 million B-8 Term Loan. In the third quarter of 2025, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles acquired an

aggregate$33.0 million participation in our$453.1 million B-7 Term Loan. In the second quarter of 2025, Blackstone-

Notes. All of these transactions were part of broad syndications led by third-party banks, and were on terms equivalent to

those of unaffiliated third parties. BSP, an affiliate of our Manager, was engaged as a member of the syndicate for these

transactions. Our engagements of BSP are on terms equivalent to those of unaffiliated parties. See “—Affiliate Services”

for further information.

In the first quarter of 2025, as part of a broad syndication led by third-party banks, Blackstone-advised investment vehicles

acquired an aggregate$75.0 million of notes in our$1.0 billion FL5 CLO offering. All of these transactions were on terms

equivalent to those of unaffiliated third parties.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we made a$75.0 million capital commitment at the initial closing of a fund managed by

Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies, or BREDS, the BREDS-advised private fund, formed to invest in Core+ real estate

debt investments in the U.S. and Canada. Blackstone affiliates, including us, do not pay management fees or carried

interest with respect to their investments in the BREDS-advised private fund. Our capital commitment represented a

minority of the total capital commitments the BREDS-advised private fund had received as of December 31, 2025. As of

December 31, 2025, the BREDS-advised private fund had not called any capital or made any investments. To fund its

future investments, the BREDS-advised private fund will draw down on capital commitments made by its investors,

including us, on a pro rata basis.

In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised

investment vehicle that concurrently acquired a$1.4 billion portfolio of performing commercial mortgage loans in which

we made an equity investment of$57.6 million and our ownership interest was 29%. In the third quarter of 2025, our Bank

Loan Portfolio Joint Venture acquired a$606.0 million portfolio of performing commercial mortgage loans in which we

made an equity investment of$44.7 million and our ownership interest was 50%. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered

into our Net Lease Joint Venture with a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle to invest in triple net lease properties.

We do not consolidate our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture, our Net Lease Joint Venture, or the BREDS-advised private

fund as we do not have a controlling financial interest. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate value of our equity

investment in our Bank Loan Portfolio Joint Venture was$111.0 million and our ownership interest was 35%, and the

aggregate value of our equity investment in our Net Lease Joint Venture was$106.5 million and our ownership interest

was 75%. As of December 31, 2025, we had not made an equity investment in the BREDS-advised private fund. We, these

joint ventures, these Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, and other Blackstone affiliates have engaged and may in the

future engage in certain investment, financing, derivative and/or hedging arrangements related to these unconsolidated

entities.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, three of our senior loans to borrowers controlled by a Blackstone-advised

investment vehicle were modified. The terms of these modifications (including maturity extensions and additional

commitments, among other changes) were negotiated by our third-party co-lenders. We continue to forgo all non-economic

rights under the loans, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the applicable

borrower.

During theyear ended December 31, 2025, proceeds from five of our loans were used by the unaffiliated third-party

borrowers to repay$899.1 million of performing loans held by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, and proceeds from

financing provided by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles were used by the unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay

$148.8 million of a performing loan of ours. During theyear ended December 31, 2024, proceeds from a loan held by a

Blackstone-advised investment vehicle were used by the unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay$98.6 million of a

performing loan of ours, and proceeds from the sale of assets to a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle were used by the

unaffiliated third-party borrower to repay$59.0 million of a performing loan of ours to the borrower. These transactions

were initiated by the applicable unaffiliated third-party borrowers with the transaction terms and pricing on market terms.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we referred three loans to MTRCC

for origination, where the borrower was a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms and pricing were on

market terms negotiated by MTRCC. Pursuant to our Agency Multifamily Lending Partnership, we received$217,000 of

origination, servicing, and other fees for referring these loans during the fourth quarter of 2024.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, in connection with the modification of one of our senior loans, a Blackstone-advised

investment vehicle purchased a pari passu participation in the loan from a third party at a discount to par.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the senior lenders negotiated a discounted payoff of a senior loan in which we held an

interest. As part of the discounted payoff, a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle’s mezzanine loan, which had been part

of the total financing, received a small repayment.

In the third quarter of 2024, we acquired$94.4 million of a total$560.0 million senior loan to an unaffiliated third party.

One Blackstone-advised investment vehicle holds a portion of the senior loan and another holds a mezzanine loan. We will

forgo all non-economic rights under our loan, including voting rights, so long as any Blackstone-advised investment

vehicle controls the mezzanine loan. The intercreditor agreement between the senior loan lender and the mezzanine lender

was negotiated on market terms by a third party without our involvement, and our 17% interest in the senior loan was made

on such market terms.

In 2019 and 2021, we acquired an aggregate participation of€350.0 million in a senior loan to a borrower that is partially

owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. We forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting

rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrower. The loan was negotiated by third parties

on market terms without our involvement, and our interest in the senior loan was subject to such market terms. In the third

quarter of 2024, the borrower completed a refinancing transaction involving new lenders and the existing lenders. We

elected to sell€232.0 million of our then-remaining€347.0 million loan position to the new lenders at par and extend the

remainder on modified terms. The terms of the modification (which included, among other changes, an extension of the

maturity date, and increase in the interest rate, and additional guarantees) were negotiated by our third-party co-lender.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we originated£148.7 million of a total£303.5 million senior loan to a borrower that is wholly

owned by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle. The loan terms were negotiated by our third-party co-lender, and we

will forgo all non-economic rights under the loan, including voting rights, so long as a Blackstone-advised investment

vehicle controls the borrower. In the third quarter of 2024, we agreed to a refinancing transaction pursuant to which

£46.4 million of our£148.7 million participation in an existing£303.5 million loan to a borrower that is wholly owned by a

Blackstone-advised investment vehicle was repaid, and we received a£100.0 million participation in a new loan made to

the same borrower that continues to be controlled by a Blackstone-advised investment vehicle, and the terms of the loan

were modified to include, among other changes, an expanded collateral pool, an extension of the maturity date and an

increase in the interest rate. The transaction, including the terms of the modification, was negotiated by our third-party co-

lender.

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Unfunded Commitments Under Loans Receivable

As of December 31, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded commitments of$1.2 billion across 53 loans receivable, and

$754.8 million of committed or identified financings for those commitments, resulting in net unfunded commitments of

$430.2 million. The unfunded loan commitments comprise funding for capital expenditures and construction, leasing costs,

and interest and carry costs. Loan funding commitments are generally subject to certain conditions, including, without

limitation, the progress of capital projects, leasing, and cash flows at the properties securing our loans. Therefore, the exact

timing and amounts of such future loan fundings are uncertain and will depend on the current and future performance of

the underlying collateral assets. We expect to fund our loan commitments over the remaining term of the related loans,

which have a weighted-average future funding period of 2.0 years.

Principal Debt Repayments

Our contractual principal debt repayments as of December 31, 2025 were as follows ($ in thousands):

(1)Our secured debt and asset-specific debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral.

Therefore, the allocation of payments under such agreements is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity

date of the collateral loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the

maturity date of the respective debt agreement is used.

(2)The Term Loans are partially amortizing, with an amount equal to 1.0% per annum of the initial principal balance

due in quarterly installments. Refer to Note 11 for further details on our Term Loans.

(3)Reflects the outstanding principal balance of Convertible Notes, excluding any potential conversion premium. Refer

to Note 13 for further details on our Convertible Notes.

(4)Total does not include$2.1 billion of consolidated securitized debt obligations, as the satisfaction of these liabilities

will not require cash outlays from us.

Board of Directors’ Compensation

As of December 31, 2025, ourseven non-employee directors are entitled to annual compensation of$210,000 each, of

which$95,000 is paid in cash and$115,000 is paid in the form of deferred stock units or, at their election, shares of

restricted common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the othertwo board members are employees of affiliates of our

Manager who also serve as executive officers and they are not compensated by us for their service as directors. In addition,

(i) the lead independent director receives additional annual cash compensation of$30,000, (ii) the chairs of our audit,

compensation, and corporate governance committees receive additional annual cash compensation of$20,000,$15,000,

and$10,000, respectively, and (iii) the members of our audit and investment risk management committees receive

additional annual cash compensation of$10,000 and$7,500, respectively.

Litigation

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of

December 31, 2025, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

23. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of a business that can earn revenues and incur expenses for which discrete

financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or CODM. Our

CODM is, collectively, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who decide how to allocate resources and

assess performance. A single management team reports to the CODM, who manages the entire business.

We have determined that we haveone reportable segment based on how the CODM reviews and manages the business,

which originates and acquires commercial mortgage loans and related investments.

Our CODM reviews, among other things, consolidated net income (loss) that is reported on the Consolidated Statements of

Operations to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance and does not evaluate the net income (loss) from

any separate geography or product line. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as

total consolidated assets.

Schedule IV – Mortgage Loans on Real Estate

As of December 31, 2025
