Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

We consolidate all entities that are controlled either through majority ownership or voting rights. We also identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (a variable interest entity or “VIE”) using the analysis as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and determine when and which variable interest holder, if any, should consolidate the VIE. We do not have any consolidated variable interest entities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to our judgment include, but are not limited to, the adequacy of our current expected credit loss reserve, the determination of the fair value of real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the impairment of certain assets.

The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve required under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on our consolidated statements of operations. ASC 326 specifies the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts through each loan within our loan portfolio’s expected remaining duration.

General CECL Reserve

Our loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by an equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. We consider key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the borrowers and sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio; loan amount and lien position; our risk ratings; and prior experience with the borrower/sponsor. This information is used to assess the financial and operating capability, experience and profitability of the borrower/sponsor. Ultimate repayment of our loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, performance of the collateral asset, financial wherewithal of the borrower/sponsor, LTV ratio, existence of a liquid investment sales market for commercial properties, and availability of replacement financing.

We regularly evaluate on a loan-by-loan basis, the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the collateral property, the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor, the financial strength of loan guarantors, if any, and the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management on at least a quarterly basis, utilizing various data sources, including, to the extent available, (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, (iii) sales and financing comparables, (iv) current credit spreads for refinancing and (v) other relevant market data.

We primarily arrive at our general CECL reserve using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity, or WARM method, which is considered an acceptable loss-rate method for estimating CECL reserves by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The application of the WARM method to estimate a general CECL reserve requires judgment, including the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, the current credit quality of our portfolio, and our expectations of performance and market conditions over the relevant time period.

The WARM method requires us to reference historical loan loss data from a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each of our loans over their expected remaining duration, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the forecasted timeframe. Our general CECL reserve reflects our forecast of the current and future macroeconomic conditions that may impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing our loans and each borrower’s ultimate ability to repay. These estimates include unemployment rates, price indices for commercial properties, and market liquidity, all of which may influence the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for our loans during their expected remaining duration. Additionally, further adjustments may be made based upon loan positions senior to ours, the risk rating of a loan, whether a loan is a construction loan, timing of the loan’s initial maturity, or the economic conditions specific to the property type of a loan’s collateral property.

To estimate an annual historical loss rate, we obtained historical loss rate data for loans most comparable to our loan portfolio from a commercial mortgage-backed securities database licensed by a third party, Trepp, LLC, which contains historical loss data from the 1990s through March 31, 2026. We believe this CMBS data is the most relevant, available, and comparable data set to our portfolio.

When evaluating the current and future macroeconomic environment, we consider the aforementioned macroeconomic factors. Historical data for each metric is compared to historical commercial real estate credit losses in order to determine the relationship between the two variables. We use projections of each macroeconomic factor, obtained from a third party, to approximate the impact the macroeconomic outlook may have on our loss rate. Selections of these economic forecasts require judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to us as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately subjective and uncertain, and the actual economic conditions could vary significantly from the estimates we made. Following a reasonable and supportable forecast period, we use a straight-line method of reverting to the historical loss rate. Additionally, we assess the obligation to extend credit through our unfunded loan commitments through their expected remaining duration, adjusted for projected fundings from interest reserves, if applicable, which is considered in the estimate of the general CECL reserve. 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.

We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans receivable on an individual basis and assign a risk rating at least quarterly. We have developed a loan grading system for all of our outstanding loans receivable that are collateralized directly or indirectly by real estate. Grading criteria include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the overall market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. We utilize the grading system to determine each loan’s risk of loss and to provide a determination as to whether an individual loan is impaired and whether a specific CECL reserve is necessary. Based on a 5-point scale, the loans are graded “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, which gradings are defined as follows:

Very Low Risk

Low Risk

Medium Risk

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

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

Specific CECL Reserve

In certain circumstances, we may determine that a loan is no longer suited for the WARM method because (i) it has unique risk characteristics, (ii) we have deemed the borrower/sponsor to be experiencing financial difficulty and the repayment of the loan’s principal is collateral-dependent, (iii) we anticipate assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the collateral property and the fair value of the collateral asset is determined to be below the carrying value of our loan, and/or (iv) recovery of our loan may occur at an amount below our loan’s carrying value. We may instead elect to employ different methods to estimate credit losses that also conform to ASC 326 and related guidance. For such loans, we would separately measure the specific reserve for each loan by using the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. In certain circumstances, we may recognize a specific reserve based upon anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan. If the estimated fair value of the collateral or anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, an asset-specific reserve is created as a component of our overall current expected credit loss reserve. Specific reserves are equal to the excess of a loan’s carrying value over the estimated fair value of the collateral or anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan. If recovery of our loan is expected from the sale of the collateral, specific reserves are equal to the excess of a loan’s carrying value over the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

If we have determined that a loan or a portion of a loan is uncollectible, we will write off the amount deemed uncollectible through an adjustment to our CECL reserve. If we have determined that accrued interest receivable previously recognized under our revenue recognition policy is uncollectible, we will either reverse such amount against interest income or reserve for such amount through an adjustment to our CECL reserve. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting credit loss reserve, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates.

See Note 3 - Loan Portfolio - Current Expected Credit Losses for further detail.

Real Estate Owned (and Related Debt)

To maximize recovery from certain defaulted loans, we may from time to time assume legal title and/or physical possession of the collateral property of a defaulted loan through foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure. We account for acquisitions of real estate, including foreclosures, deed-in-lieu of foreclosures, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosures, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which first requires that we determine if the real estate investment is the acquisition of an asset or a business combination. Under this model, we identify and determine the estimated fair value of any assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This generally results in the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative estimated fair values of each respective asset and liability.

In such instances, the asset is classified as real estate owned held-for-investment, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Real estate owned is initially recorded at estimated fair value, plus acquisition costs in the instance of an asset acquisition, and is subsequently presented net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on real estate assets held-for-investment, except for land, is computed using a straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years and is recognized in depreciation and amortization expense on our consolidated statements of operations. If the held-for-sale criteria prescribed by ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, are met, the asset is classified as real estate owned held-for-sale and reflected at the lower of (i) amortized cost and (ii) estimated fair value less estimated transaction costs on our consolidated balance sheets. Once classified as real estate owned held-for-sale, we cease recognition of the related depreciation and amortization. If a real estate owned asset no longer meets the held-for-sale criteria, the asset is reclassified as real estate owned held-for-investment and reflected at the lower of (i) amortized cost prior to classification to held-for-sale with adjustments for depreciation during the held-for-sale period, if applicable, and (ii) estimated fair value.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed generally include land, building, building improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, mortgages payable, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which generally consists of above or below market lease values, in-place lease values, and other lease-related values. In estimating fair values for allocating the purchase price of our real estate owned, we may utilize various methods, including a market approach, which considers recent sales of similar properties, adjusted for differences in location and state of the physical asset, or a replacement cost approach, which considers the composition of physical assets acquired, adjusted based on industry standard information and the remaining useful life of the acquired property. In estimating fair values of intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed, we consider the estimated cost of leasing our real estate owned assuming the property was vacant, the value of the current lease agreements relative to market-rate leases, and the estimation of total lease-up time, including lost rents. In-place, above market, and other lease values, net are included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Below market lease values, net, are included within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of in-place and other lease values is recognized in depreciation and amortization expense on our consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of above and below market lease values is recognized in revenue from real estate owned on our consolidated statements of operations.

Real estate assets held-for-investment are evaluated for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis. Factors that we may consider in our impairment analysis include, among others: (i) significant underperformance relative to historical or anticipated operating results; (ii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iii) costs necessary to extend the life or improve the real estate asset; (iv) significant increase in competition; and (v) ability to hold and dispose of the real estate asset in the ordinary course of business. A real estate asset is considered impaired when the sum of estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the real estate asset over the estimated remaining holding period is less than the carrying amount of such real estate asset. Cash flows include operating cash flows and anticipated capital proceeds generated by the sale of the real estate asset. If the sum of such estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the real estate asset, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying value of the real estate asset over its estimated fair value. When determining the estimated fair value of a real estate asset, we make certain assumptions including consideration of projected operating cash flows, comparable selling prices and projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of the real estate asset based upon our estimate of a capitalization rate and discount rate. There wereno impairments of our real estate owned held-for-investment assets through March 31, 2026.

Debt assumed in a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure of real estate is recorded at its estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition.

See Note 5 - Real Estate Owned for further detail.

(3)

In March 2026, this loan was sold for a gross sales price of $197.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, a reconciliation of working capital was required by May 24, 2026 to determine any necessary purchase price adjustments. The maximum liability due to the purchaser was $6.75 million, which is included within other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and within the principal charge-off. In May 2026, the reconciliation was completed and $6.75 million was paid to the purchaser.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we sold a senior loan collateralized by a portfolio of multifamily properties located in San Francisco, CA. We obtained a true-sale-at-law opinion and determined the transaction constituted a sale. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into an agreement with the transferee which provides for a share of cash flows from the senior loan upon the transferee achieving certain financial metrics. As of March 31, 2026, we have not recognized any value to this interest on our consolidated financial statements.

Loan Risk Ratings

As further described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we evaluate the credit quality of 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 including, but not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized debt yield, term of loan, property type, property or collateral location, loan type, structure, collateral cash flow volatility and other more subjective variables that include, but are not limited to, as-is or as-stabilized collateral value, market conditions, industry conditions, borrower/sponsor financial stability, and borrower/sponsor exit plan. While evaluating the credit quality of each loan within our portfolio, we assess these quantitative and qualitative factors as a whole and with no pre-prescribed weight on their impact to our determination of a loan’s risk rating. However, based upon the facts and circumstances for each loan and the current market conditions, we may consider certain previously mentioned factors more or less relevant than others. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables allocate the principal balance and carrying value of our loans receivable held-for-investment based on our internal risk ratings as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

As of March 31, 2026, loans receivable classified as non-accrual represented 37.9% of our total loans receivable held-for-investment, based on carrying value net of specific CECL reserves. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we (i) recognized$3.0 million of interest income on a cash basis upon the repayment of a non-accrual loan in January 2026 and (ii) received$3.6 million of cost recovery proceeds for loans on non-accrual status, of which $0.7 million was applied against past due interest and reduced the related CECL reserve. Further, the above table excludesone loan with an aggregate carrying value of$78.5 million that is in maturity default but remains on accrual status as interest is deemed collectible based on the collateral property’s value.

The following table presents the carrying value and significant characteristics of our loans receivable held-for-investment on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1)

In January 2026, we acquired legal title to the collateral property through a mortgage foreclosure. In anticipation of such foreclosure, we recognized a principal charge-off of $39.1 million as of December 31, 2025.

(2)

Amounts deemed uncollectible have been charged-off as of December 31, 2025.

(3)

Amount excludes one risk rated 5 loan with an unpaid principal balance of $71.3 million and a carrying value net of specific CECL reserves of $53.5 million that remained on accrual status as monthly debt service was satisfied through borrower funded reserves. In February 2026, we assignedour right, title, and interest in this loan receivable and the collateral property to our financing counterparty in exchange for the full extinguishment of amounts due under the related financing. Upon assignment, we recognized a principal charge-off of $17.8 million which includes $2.6 million paid to our financing counterparty under the terms of our guarantee. See Note 6 - Debt Obligations - Notes Payable for further detail.

(4)

In January 2026, this loan was repaid in full. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $3.0 million of interest income on a cash basis from this loan, which is included in the $6.0 million of interest income recognized on a cash basis as discussed below for the year ended December 31, 2025. Upon repayment in January 2026, we recognized an additional $3.0 million of interest income on a cash basis from this loan, which is included in cash basis interest income discussed above for thethree months ended March 31, 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, loans receivable classified as non-accrual represented 31.1% of our total loans receivable held-for-investment, based on carrying value net of specific CECL reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we (i) recognized $6.0 million of interest income on a cash basis for loans on non-accrual status and (ii) received $16.2 million of cost recovery proceeds for loans on non-accrual status, of which $13.6 million was applied against past due interest and reduced the related CECL reserve. Further, the above table excludes three loans with an aggregate carrying value of $453.8 million that are in maturity default but remain on accrual status as the borrower is current on interest payments and/or interest is deemed collectible based on the collateral property’s value.

The current expected credit loss reserve required under GAAP reflects our current estimate of potential credit losses related to our loan commitments. See Note 2 for further detail of our current expected credit loss reserve methodology.

The following table illustrates the changes in the current expected credit loss reserve for our loans receivable held-for-investment for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively ($ in thousands):

(1)

CECL reserves for accrued interest receivable, if any, are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

(2)

CECL reserve for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The following table illustrates our specific and general CECL reserves as a percentage of total unpaid principal balance of loans receivable held-for-investment as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

(1)

Represents specific CECL reserves on loans receivable held-for-investment as a percentage of unpaid principal balance of risk rated 5 loans.

(2)

Represents general CECL reserves on loans receivable held-for-investment and related unfunded loan commitments as a percentage of unpaid principal balance of loans subject to the general CECL reserve.

(3)

Represents total CECL reserves on loans receivable held-for-investment and related unfunded loan commitments as a percentage of total unpaid principal balance of loans receivable held-for-investment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of$31.4 million, which consisted of a$32.4 million increase in our specific CECL reserves prior to principal and exit fee charge-offs and a$26.6 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs, offset in part by a$27.6 million decrease in our general CECL reserves. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to protective advances made on certain loans and a specific reserve determined on a loan sold which was not previously classified as held-for-sale, offset in part by principal charge-offs recognized. The increase in our CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable is attributable to reserving against outstanding interest due to us upon a loan being placed on non-accrual status during the three months ended March 31, 2026, offset in part by a reduction in reserves upon the receipt of past due interest and charge-offs recognized in connection with the sale of a delinquent loan. The decrease in our general CECL reserves was primarily attributable to seasoning of our loan portfolio, a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve, and changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous data set, offset in part by changes in risk ratings and expected remaining duration within our loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, our total current expected credit loss reserve was$439.4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a provision for current expected credit losses of$41.1 million, which consisted of a$41.5 million increase in our specific CECL reserve prior to charge-offs of principal and exit fees and a$3.5 million increase in CECL reserves on accrued interest receivable prior to charge-offs, offset in part by a$3.9 million decrease in our general CECL reserve. The increase in our specific CECL reserves was primarily attributable to specific reserves determined on a discounted loan repayment, offset in part by changes to collateral values and protective advances made. The reversal of our general CECL reserves was primarily attributable to changes in the historical loss rate of the analogous data set, seasoning of our loan portfolio, and a reduction in the size of our loan portfolio subject to determination of the general CECL reserve. As of March 31, 2025, our total current expected credit loss reserve was$260.8 million.

Specific CECL Reserves

In certain circumstances, we may determine that a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and, if the repayment of the loan’s principal is collateral dependent, the loan is no longer suited for the WARM model. In these instances, there have been diminutions in the fair value and performance of the collateral property primarily as a result of reduced tenant and/or capital markets demand for such property types in the markets in which these assets and borrowers operate. For such loans, we seek resolutions through a variety of means including, but not limited to, foreclosures on the collateral asset, sales of our loan receivable, and discounted repayments. If we anticipate assuming legal title and/or physical possession of the collateral property and the fair value of the collateral asset is determined to be below the carrying value of our loan, we may recognize a specific CECL reserve. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, we may recognize a specific CECL reserve based upon anticipated proceeds from the disposition of our loan.

Fair values of collateral assets used to determine specific CECL reserves are calculated using a discounted cash flow model, a sales comparison approach, or a market capitalization approach. Estimates of fair values used to determine specific CECL reserves may include, among others, assumptions of property specific cash flows over estimated holding periods, assumptions of property redevelopment costs, assumptions of leasing activities, discount rates, market and terminal capitalization rates, and, with respect to land, value per buildable square foot. These assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties, recent and projected property cash flows, recent sales and lease comparables, and anticipated real estate and capital market conditions, among other factors which we may deem relevant. Estimates of fair values used to determine specific CECL reserves as of March 31, 2026 include discount rates ranging from 6.0% to 9.5%, market and terminal capitalization rates ranging from 4.72% to 8.25%, and, with respect to the land loan, value per buildable square foot of$140 based on current entitlements.

Our primary credit quality indicator is our internal risk rating, which is further discussed above.

Multifamily Property

On January 7, 2026, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Dallas, TX through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance prior to principal charge-off of $76.6 million. As of December 31, 2025 and in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a principal charge-off of $39.1 million based upon the multifamily property’s $37.4 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal. During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized an additional principal charge-off of$1.3 million upon the assumption of net working capital. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incu rred $0.3 million of transaction costs. As of March 31, 2026, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned held-for-investment, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Fair values of collateral assets used to determine the initial estimated fair value of real estate owned are calculated using a discounted cash flow model, a sales comparison approach, or a market capitalization approach. Estimates of fair values used to determine real estate owned upon acquisition may include, among others, assumptions of property specific cash flows over estimated holding periods, assumptions of property redevelopment costs, assumptions of leasing activities, discount rates, market and terminal capitalization rates, and, with respect to land, value per buildable square foot. These assumptions are based upon the nature of the properties, recent and projected property cash flows, recent sales and lease comparables, and anticipated real estate and capital market conditions, among other factors which we may deem relevant. Estimates of fair values used to determine real estate owned upon acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2026 include assumptions of a market capitalization rate of 5.75% and a discount rate of 8.00%.

In accordance with ASC 805, we allocated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the above mentioned mortgage foreclosure as follows ($ in thousands):

As consideration for and in connection with entering into our new secured term loan, we issued detachable warrants exercisable until January 2037. In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, based on relative fair values at January 30, 2026 and prior to original issue discount and deferred financing costs, we allocated $486.5 million of value to the secured term loan using a discounted cash flow model, incorporating Level 3 assumptions of an implied yield on the value of the warrants. Value allocated to the detachable warrants is classified as equity and creates a corresponding discount on our secured term loan in the same amount which is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Furthermore, we incurred $23.0 million of transaction costs which were allocated proportionately between deferred financing costs and equity issuance costs in the same manner. See Note 9 - Equity - Warrants for further detail.

Debt Related to Real Estate Owned Hotel Portfolio

On February 8, 2021, we assumed a $300.0 million securitized senior mortgage in connection with a foreclosure on a hotel portfolio which, subsequent thereto, was modified to provide for, among other things, total principal payments of $25.0 million, an extension of the contractual maturity date to February 9, 2025, and the designation of a portion of the loan becoming partial recourse to us. Concurrent with each modification, we acquired interest rate caps with notional amounts equal to the borrowing outstanding, strike rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.0%, and maturity dates matching the associated financing. Upon maturity in February 2025, we entered into forbearance agreements with our lender through September 9, 2025 and concurrently repaid $5.0 million of the principal balance. During the forbearance period, interest accrued at additional rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.0% per annum. On June 9, 2025, we refinanced our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio with anon-recourse senior mortgage in the amount of $235.0 million.

(2)

Our multifamily real estate owned assetsare pledged to certain of our repurchase agreements. Thus, amount excludes any allocation of amortization of deferred financing costs related to such repurchase agreement.

Financial Covenants

Our financing agreements generally contain certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2026, we are in compliance with all financial covenants under our financing agreements.

Future compliance with our financial covenants is dependent upon the results of our operating activities, our financial condition, and the overall market conditions in which we and our borrowers operate. The impact of macroeconomic conditions on the commercial real estate and capital markets, including elevated benchmark interest rates compared to recent historical levels and the effects thereof on our and our borrowers’ operating performance, may make it more difficult for us to satisfy these financial covenants in the future. Non-compliance with financial covenants may result in our lenders exercising their rights and remedies as provided for in the respective agreements. As the results of our operating activities, our financial condition, and the overall market conditions in which we and our borrowers operate evolve, we may continue to work with our counterparties on modifying financial covenants as needed; however, there is no assurance that our counterparties will agree to such modifications.

As calculated in accordance with our repurchase agreements and our term participation facility and as of March 31, 2026, (i) our tangible net worth shall not be less than $1.0 billion plus 75% of the aggregate cash proceeds received by us after January 30, 2026 from any equity issuances, capital contributions, and/or subscriptions (net of any related costs), (ii) our total debt to equity ratio shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and (iii) our cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $20.0 million or (y)5% of total recourse indebtedness (which includes our secured term loan). For the quarters ending March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2027, there is no measurement of our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to interest charges (our “Interest Coverage Ratio”). Commencing with the quarters ending September 30, 2027 and December 31, 2027, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. Subsequent thereto, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than (i)1.20 to 1.00 for the quarters ending March 31, 2028 and June 30, 2028 and (ii)1.30 to 1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2028 and thereafter.

As calculated in accordance with our new secured term loan agreement and effective upon its closing, (i) our tangible net worth shall not be less than $1.0 billion plus 75% of the aggregate cash proceeds received by us after January 30, 2026 from any equity issuances, capital contributions, and/or subscriptions (net of any related costs) and (ii) our total debt to equity ratio shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. For the quarters ending March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2027, there is no measurement of our Interest Coverage Ratio. Commencing with the quarters ending September 30, 2027 and December 31, 2027, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. Subsequent thereto, our Interest Coverage Ratio shall not be less than (i)1.20 to 1.00 for the quarters ending March 31, 2028 and June 30, 2028 and (ii)1.30 to 1.00 for the quarters ending September 30, 2028 and thereafter.

Note 7. Derivatives

Prior to the June 2025 refinance of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, we acquired interest rate caps with maturity dates and notional amounts equal to that of the then maturity dates and outstanding principal balance of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, respectively, and strike rates ranging from 3.0% to 5.0% which effectively limited the maximum interest rate to 7.94%. Concurrent with refinancing our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio in June 2025, we acquired an interest rate cap for a price of $71,000 with a notional amount of $235.0 million, a strike rate of 6.79%, and a maturity date of June 2027, which effectively limits the maximum interest rate of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio to 9.97%.

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate cap are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations and the fair value is recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Proceeds received from our counterparty related to the interest rate cap are recorded as proceeds from interest rate cap on our consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our interest rate cap was de minimis. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not recognize any proceeds from our interest rate caps.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a framework for measuring fair value as well as disclosures about fair value measurements. It emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Reported at Fair Value

The fair value of our interest rate caps are determined by using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the interest rate caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate caps are based on a third-party expert’s expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. Our interest rate caps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our interest rate cap was de minimis.

Financial Instruments Not Reported at Fair Value

The carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis but required to be disclosed at fair value were as follows ($ in thousands):

Note 9. Equity

Common Stock

Our charter provides for the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had 140,218,764 and 140,218,764 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we didnot issue, repurchase, or retire any shares of our common stock.

At the Market Stock Offering Program

On May 10, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $150.0 million of our common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program (the “ATM Agreement”) under our in place effective shelf registration. Sales of our common stock made pursuant to the ATM Agreement 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. The timing and amount of actual sales will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, we didnot issue any shares of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the ATM Agreement has not been utilized, and $150.0 million of our common stock remained available for issuance pursuant to the ATM Agreement.

Dividends

The Board didnot declare any dividends during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Warrants

As consideration for and in connection with entering into our new secured term loan in January 2026, we issued detachable warrants to purchase up to 7,542,227 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, with an expiration date of January 2037. In accordance with ASC 470, Debt, based on relative fair values at January 30, 2026, we allocated $13.5 million of value to the warrants using Level 3 inputs within a Black-Scholes model, incorporating terms of the warrants, historical volatility of our common stock, and current dividend levels. Value allocated to warrants is classified as equity with no subsequent remeasurement and creates a corresponding discount on our secured term loan in the same amount. See Note 6 - Debt Obligations - Secured Term Loan for further detail. As of March 31, 2026, none of the warrants have been exercised.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share (“EPS”) using the two-class method, which defines unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. Under the two-class method, both distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing our net income (loss) less participating securities’ share in earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted EPS is calculated under the more dilutive of the treasury stock or the two-class method. Under the treasury stock method, diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the incremental potential shares of common stock assumed issued during the period if they are dilutive.

For thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we hadno dilutive securities. As a result, basic and diluted EPS are the same. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows ($ in thousands, except per share data):

(1)

For thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Board didnot declare any dividends.

(2)

Amounts for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 include 237,920 and 113,151 fully vested RSUs, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,3,003,627 and 2,717,009 of weighted average unvested RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026,7,542,227 of weighted average warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we hadno outstanding warrants.

Incentive Award Plan

We are externally managed and do not currently have any employees. On March 30, 2016, we adopted the 2016 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the individual interests of employees of our Manager and its affiliates to those of our stockholders. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum remaining number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 871,264 shares. Subsequent thereto, we issued 22,898 shares and 848,366 shares remain available under the Plan. Awards granted under the Plan may be granted with the right to receive dividend equivalents and generally vest in equal installments on the specified anniversaries of the grant.

Deferred Compensation Plan

On May 24, 2022, we adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan to provide our directors and certain executives with an opportunity to defer payment of their stock-based compensation or RSUs and director cash fees, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Under our Deferred Compensation Plan, certain of our Board members elected to receive the annual fees and/or time-based RSUs to which they are entitled under our Non-Employee Director Compensation Program in the form of deferred RSUs. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we issued 17,192 and 11,088, respectively, of deferred RSUs in lieu of cash fees to such directors, and recognized an expense of approximately$53,000 and$53,000, respectively. Such expense is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

Our Board awards time-based RSUs to eligible non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter on the date of the annual meeting of our stockholders, in conjunction with the director’s election to our Board, and the awards vest on the earlier of (x) the one-year anniversary of the grant date and (y) the date of the next annual meeting of our stockholders following the grant date, subject to the applicable participants’ continued service through such vesting date.

Eligible non-executive members of our Board were granted the time-based RSUs under the Plan. Each RSU was granted with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Additionally, certain directors elected to defer their RSUs pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Such deferred awards will become payable on the earliest to occur of the participant’s separation from service or a change in control.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized$2.3 million and$5.1 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs. As of March 31, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense was$9.2 million based on the grant date fair value of RSUs granted. This expense is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of 2.0 years from March 31, 2026.

Certain participants of the Plan are required to settle their tax liabilities through a reduction of their vested RSU delivery. Such amount will result in a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital and a cash payment to our Manager or its affiliates in order to remit the required statutory tax withholding to each respective taxing authority. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no deliveries of shares of common stock for vested RSUs.

The following table details the time-based RSU activity during thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Note 13. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015 and expect to continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT. As a result, we will generally not be subject to federal and state income tax on that portion of our income that we distribute to stockholders if we (i) distribute at least 90% of our taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains, and (ii) comply with certain other requirements to qualify as a REIT. Since Commencement of Operations, we have been in compliance with all REIT requirements and we plan to continue to operate so that we meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Therefore, other than amounts relating to our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), as described below, we have not provided for current income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Additionally, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as we believe we have met the prescribed requisite requirements.

In December 2024, our Board paused our quarterly dividend on our common stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2024 dividend that would have otherwise been paid in January 2025. The timing and amount of any future dividends declared by our Board depend on a variety of factors, including cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

Our real estate owned hotel portfolio is held in a TRS. A TRS is a corporation that is owned directly or indirectly by a REIT and has jointly elected with the REIT to be treated as a TRS for tax purposes. Given the TRS’s history of generating taxable losses, we are not able to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will realize the future benefit of the TRS’s deferred tax assets and therefore recorded a full valuation allowance. Given the full valuation allowance, we did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and we didnot have any deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances or deferred tax liabilities, net of any valuation allowances as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our gross deferred tax asset and valuation allowance at March 31, 2026 were $57.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, our gross deferred tax asset and valuation allowance were each $54.8 million.

We recognize tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions, if applicable, are included as a component of the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we havenot recorded any amounts for uncertain tax positions.

Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. As of the date of this filing, tax years 2022 and onward remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxes.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

We hold a 51% interest in CMTG/TT as a result of committing to invest $124.9 million in CMTG/TT. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have contributed$163.1 million to CMTG/TT and have received return of capital distributions of$123.3 million, of which$111.1 million were recallable. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our remaining capital commitment to CMTG/TT was$72.9 million.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had aggregate unfunded loan commitments of$204.3 million and$271.9 million, respectively, which amounts will generally be funded to finance construction or leasing related expenditures by our borrowers, subjectto them achieving certain conditions precedent to such funding. These future commitments will expire over the remaining term of the loans, none of which exceed five years.

To the extent a financing is expected to reach final maturity, we may seek replacement financings, extension of existing financings, or other capital solutions as deemed appropriate by management. Our contractual payments due under all financings wereas follows as of March 31, 2026 ($ in thousands):

(1)

Initial maturity is based on the earlier of the initial maturity date of each individual corresponding loan receivable or the maximum maturity date under the respective financing agreement, assuming conditions to extend are met.

(2)

Fully extended maturity is based on the earlier of the fully extended maturity date of each individual corresponding loan receivable or the maximum maturity date under the respective financing agreement, assuming conditions to extend are met.

(3)

Includes financings outstanding of$584.9 million related toeight loans in maturity default with aggregate unpaid principal balance of$1.4 billion.

In the normal course of business, we may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide for general indemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, we expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 15. Segment Reporting

We have determined that we havetwo operating segments andtwo reporting segments, with activities related to investing in income-producing loans collateralized by institutional quality commercial real estate and activities related to the operations of our real estate owned assets. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is J. Michael McGillis, our Chief Financial Officer, President, and Director, who primarily utilizes Distributable Earnings (Loss) as described below.

Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions, non-cash items and GAAP adjustments. Distributable Earnings (Loss) is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (ii) real estate owned held-for-investment depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes (other than permanent impairments) that are included in net income (loss) for the applicable period, (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (v) certain non-cash items, which in the judgment of our Manager, should not be included in Distributable Earnings (Loss).

The following table provides a calculation of Distributable Loss for our loan and REO portfolios, as well as a reconciliation to net loss, for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 ($ in thousands):

(1)

For thethree months ended March 31, 2026, amount includes a $12.9 million charge-off of accrued interest receivable and $0.3 million charge-off of an exit fee related to the sale of a hospitality loan in March 2026. For thethree months ended March 31, 2025, amount includesa $3.5 million charge-off of accrued interest receivable and a $0.5 million charge-off of an exit fee related to the discounted payoff of a land loan in March 2025.

See Note 3 - Loan Portfolio for further detail.

In May 2026, we entered into a binding agreement to sell a 239-unit multifamily property located in Dallas, TX to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $48.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the property’s carrying value was $46.8 million, inclusive of lease intangible assets.
