Previous wording

Our primary business is the acquisition, management and capitalization of Ground Leases and we believe owning a portfolio of Ground Leases affords our investors the opportunity for safe, growing income. Safety is derived from a Ground Lease’s senior position in the commercial real estate capital structure. Growth is realized through long-term leases with contractual periodic increases in rent. Capital appreciation is realized though appreciation in the value of the land over time and through our typical rights as landlord to acquire the commercial buildings on our land at the end of a Ground Lease, which may yield substantial value to us. As of June 30, 2026, the percentage breakdown of the gross book value of our Ground Lease portfoliowas 44% multi-family, 39% office, 9% hotels, 6% life science and 2% mixed use and other. The diversification by geographic location, property type and sponsor in our portfolio further reduces risk and enhances potential upside.

Previous wording

In 2022, the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) rose to its highest rate in over 40 years. Many of our Ground Leases have CPI lookbacks, generally starting between years 11 and 21 of the lease term, to mitigate the effects of inflation that are typically capped between 3.0% - 3.5%; however, in the event cumulative inflation growth for the lookback period exceeds the cap, these rent adjustments may not keep up fully with changes in inflation. To combat the increase in inflation over the past few years, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and has kept interest rates generally high. The Federal Reserve has indicated that the economic outlook, which could include any potential impact on the economy from changes to inflation rates, U.S. trade policy and/or the consequences of heightened geopolitical tensions, including the armed conflict in the Middle East, is uncertain and it will continue to monitor incoming data on unemployment and inflation before adjusting monetary policy; however, high interest rates have continued to, and any future increase in interest rates may continue to result in a reduction in the availability or an increase in costs of leasehold financing for Ground Lease tenants, which is critical to the growth of a robust Ground Lease market. Elevated interest rates and increased investment spreads to treasury bonds in the Ground Lease market may also attract new competitors, which may result in higher costs for properties, lower returns and impact our ability to grow.

The provision for credit losses was due primarily to growth in the carrying value of the Ground Lease portfolio and loan portfolio during the period, a worsening macroeconomic forecast since December 31, 2025 and a change in risk rating on one of our loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in our Ground Lease cost to value ratios. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.7 million. The provision for credit losses was due primarily to the origination of leasehold loans (refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and then current market conditions, including an increase in our Ground Lease cost to value ratios on certain of our assets, and growth in the carrying value of the Ground Lease portfolio during the period.

In April 2024, we closed on a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2024 Unsecured Revolver”). At the time, $916 million of existing indebtedness was drawn on then existing unsecured credit facilities, all of which rolled over into the 2024 Unsecured Revolver. The 2024 Unsecured Revolver has an extended maturity date of May 1, 2029, which includes two six-month extension options. On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2024 Unsecured Revolver that modified the applicable interest rate thereunder by removing the credit spread adjustment to SOFR. As a result of that amendment, the 2024 Unsecured Revolver has a borrowing rate of SOFR plus 0.85%, subject to our credit ratings. The 2024 Unsecured Revolver replaced our nearest term maturities, reduces the overall facility cost and increased our liquidity by $150 million. Additionally, we gained greater financial flexibility through changes to certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2026, there was $1.4 billion of undrawn capacity on the 2024 Unsecured Revolver.
