9. Life Settlement Portfolio

Prior to September 1, 2023, the Company, through one of its TRSs, owned 100% of the outstanding equity and debt of Specialty Financial Products, Ltd. ("SFP"), an Ireland domiciled private company with limited liability and a Designated Activity Company. At the proposal of NexAnnuity Asset Management, L.P. ("NexAnnuity"), an affiliate of the Adviser, SFP was formed for the purpose of entering into acquisitions of U.S. life settlement policies approved by NexAnnuity and funded by the issuance of debt securities, or the Structured Note purchased by the Company. SFP utilizes proceeds from maturing life settlement contracts to repay the Structured Note and to further invest in life settlement contracts. Prior to September 1, 2023, as the Company owned the outstanding ordinary shares of and Structured Note issued by SFP, the Company consolidated SFP in its entirety. On September 1, 2023, the Company, through one of its TRSs, entered into a contribution agreement to transfer the Structured Note in SFP and all its rights, title and interests to NHI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are related parties. The Company also transferred all of its ordinary shares in SFP to a separate share trustee. In exchange, the Company was issued 68,500 shares of Class A Preferred Stock in NHI. As a result, the Company now holds none of the outstanding equity and debt of SFP, and SFP no longer meets the requirements for consolidation under ASC 810 – Consolidation. The Company will have no continuing involvement with SFP. As such, SFP has been deconsolidated herein as of September 1, 2023. The Class A Preferred Stock in NHI is accounted for as an investment in an equity security. However, management has elected to account for the investment using the fair value option and presented it within Investments, at fair value. The fair value of the Class A Preferred Stock is its original issue price of $1,000 per share due to the recent nature of the transaction. Dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock are cumulative and are payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 at an annual rate of 8.0% for years one through seven,9.5% for years eight through ten,11.0% for years eleven through thirteen, and 12.0% for years fourteen through sixteen and thereafter.

The transfer of the Structured Note of SFP qualified as a sale under ASC 860 – Transfers and Servicing as (1) the transfer legally isolated the transferred assets from the transferor, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and no condition both constrains the transferee’s right to pledge or exchange the assets and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor, and (3) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets.

On January 30, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved a long-term incentive plan (the “2023 LTIP”) and the Company subsequently filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 2,545,000 common shares, which the Company may issue pursuant to the 2023 LTIP. The 2023 LTIP authorizes the compensation committee of the Board to provide equity-based compensation in the form of share options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance units and certain other awards denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common shares or factors that may influence the value of the Company’s common shares, plus cash incentive awards, for the purpose of providing the Company’s trustees, officers and other key employees (and those of the Adviser and the Company’s subsidiaries), and potentially certain nonemployees who perform employee-type functions, incentives and rewards for performance (the "participants").

Restricted Share Units. Under the 2023 LTIP, restricted share units may be granted to the participants and typically vest over athree tofive-year period for officers, employees and certain key employees of the Adviser and annually for trustees. The most recent grant of restricted share units to officers, employees and certain key employees of the Adviser will vest over afour-year period. Beginning on the date of grant, restricted share units earn dividends that are payable in cash on the vesting date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. On March 13, 2024, pursuant to the 2023 LTIP, the Company granted 58,490 restricted share units to its trustees and 975,297 restricted share units to its officers and other employees of the Adviser.

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense on restricted share units was approximately $10.6 million, and the expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years. As of March 31, 2023, there was no compensation expense on restricted share units.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of the Company’s common shares outstanding and excludes any unvested restricted share units issued pursuant to the 2023 LTIP.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting basic earnings per share for the dilutive effect of the assumed vesting of restricted share units. During periods of net loss, the assumed vesting of restricted share units is anti-dilutive and is not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, this excludes approximately 748,950 and 0 shares, respectively, related to assumed vesting of restricted share units as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

12. Related Party Transactions

Advisory and Administrative Fees

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, subject to the overall supervision of our Board, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of the Company, and provides investment management services.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, as consideration for the Adviser’s services under the Advisory Agreement, we pay our Adviser an annual fee (the "Advisory Fee") of 1.00% of Managed Assets (defined below) and an annual fee (the "Administrative Fee" and, together with the Advisory Fee, the "Fees") of 0.20% of the Company’s Managed Assets.

On April 11, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement whereby the monthly installment of the Fees shall be paid in cash unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the monthly installment of the Fees in common shares of the Company, subject to certain restrictions including that in no event shall the common shares issued to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement exceed five percent of the number of common shares or five percent of the voting power of the Company outstanding prior to the first such issuance (the “Share Cap”) and that in no event shall the common shares issued to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement exceed 6,000,000 common shares; provided, however, that the Share Cap will not apply if the Company’s shareholders have approved issuances in excess of the Share Cap. At the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company’s shareholders did not approve issuances in excess of the Share Cap. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 169,920.62 common shares to the Advisor in payment of the Fees in an amount of $1.35 million.

Under the Advisory Agreement, “Managed Assets” means an amount equal to the total assets of the Company, including any form of leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing to purchase or develop real estate or other investments, borrowing through a credit facility, or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred shares or other preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means. In the event the Company holds collateralized mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") where the Company holds the controlling tranche of the securitization and is required to consolidate under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") all assets and liabilities of a specific CMBS trust, the consolidated assets and liabilities of the consolidated trust will be netted to calculate the allowable amount to be included as Managed Assets. In addition, in the event the Company consolidates another entity it does not wholly own as a result of owning a controlling interest in such entity or otherwise, Managed Assets will be calculated without giving effect to such consolidation and instead such entity’s assets, leverage, expenses, liabilities and obligations will, on a pro rata basis consistent with the Company’s percentage ownership, be considered those of the Company for purposes of calculation of Managed Assets. The Adviser computes Managed Assets as of the end of each fiscal quarter and then computes each installment of the Fees as promptly as possible after the end of the month with respect to which such installment is payable.

Reimbursement of Expenses; Expense Cap

We also generally reimburse our Adviser for operating or offering expenses it incurs on our behalf or in connection with the services it performs for us. Direct payment of operating expenses by us together with reimbursement of operating expenses to the Adviser, plus compensation expenses relating to equity awards granted under a long-term incentive plan and all other corporate general and administrative expenses of the Company, including the Fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, may not exceed the Expense Cap of 1.5% of Managed Assets, calculated as of the end of each quarter, for the twelve-month period following the Company’s receipt of the Deregistration Order. This limitation ended on June 30, 2023 and did not apply to Offering Expenses, legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with extraordinary litigation and mergers and acquisitions or other events outside the ordinary course of our business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of certain real estate-related investments; provided, in the event the Company consolidates another entity that it does not wholly own as a result of owning a controlling interest in such entity or otherwise, expenses will be calculated without giving effect to such consolidation and instead such entity’s expenses will, on a pro rata basis consistent with the Company’s percentage ownership, be considered those of the Company for purposes of calculation of expenses. The Adviser may, at its discretion and at any time, waive its right to reimbursement for eligible out-of-pocket expenses paid on the Company’s behalf. Once waived, those expenses are considered permanently waived and became non-recoupable.

The Advisory Agreement has an initial term ofthree years that will expire on July 1, 2025, and successive additionalone-year terms thereafter unless earlier terminated. We have the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement on 30 days’ written notice upon the occurrence of a cause event (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). The Advisory Agreement can be terminated by us or the Adviser without cause upon the expiration of the then-current term with at least 180 days’ written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of such term. The Adviser may also terminate the agreement with 30 days’ written notice if we have materially breached the agreement and such breach has continued for 30 days before we are given such notice. In addition, the Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an Advisers Act Assignment (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) unless we provide written consent. A termination fee will be payable to the Adviser by us upon termination of the Advisory Agreement for any reason, including non-renewal, other than a termination by us upon the occurrence of a cause event or due to an Advisers Act Assignment. The termination fee will be equal tothree times the Fees earned by the Adviser during the twelve month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the effective termination date; provided, however, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated prior to theone year anniversary of the date of the Advisory Agreement, the Fees earned during such period will be annualized for purposes of calculating the Fees.
