LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

FROM YOUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Please join us for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held virtually at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, 2024. The business to be conducted at the meeting is explained in the attached Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement. We believe furnishing these materials over the internet expedites your receipt of these important materials while lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of our annual meeting.

In 2023, we continued to outperform our peers and generated a total shareholder return of more than 60%, compared to an 18% return for our benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Mortgage Commercial Financing Index. We increased our quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share and, in the fourth quarter, we generated net income per common share of $0.41 and Distributable Earnings per share of $0.43, which is a 13% increase on a sequential quarter basis.

At the end of the fourth quarter, our diverse portfolio remained completely invested in floating rate loans and consisted of 24 first mortgages with an average loan size of $28 million and commitments of $670 million. Our investments have a weighted average coupon of 9.2% and an all in yield of 9.6%. In the aggregate, at year end, our portfolio had a weighted average maximum maturity of three years and favorable overall credit profile with a LTV of 68%.

As we move into 2024, we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on new investment opportunities and continue to drive attractive risk adjusted returns for our shareholders.

We thank you for your investment in our Company and for the trust you place in us to oversee your interests in our business.
