CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, or incorporates by reference, not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and that are subject to the safe harbors created by such sections. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ from our beliefs, expectations, estimates and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “target,” “believe,” “outlook,” “potential,” “continue,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “goals,” “future,” “likely,” “may” and similar expressions or their negative forms, or by references to strategy, plans or intentions. By their nature, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are not statements of historical facts or guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs and estimates are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and estimates will prove to be correct or be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the caption “Risk Factors.” Other risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected are described below and may be described from time to time in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Important factors that may affect our actual results include, among others:

•the general political, economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which we invest and their impact on our investment portfolio, financial condition and business operations;

•inflationary trends which have led to higher interest rates and increased market volatility;

•the economic and geopolitical impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflict and rising tensions in the Middle East, including the adoption or expansion of economic sanctions or trade restrictions;

•reduced demand for office, multifamily or retail space, including as a result of increased hybrid work schedules which allow work from remote locations other than the employer's office premises;

•defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness and borrowers' abilities to manage and stabilize properties;

•our ability to obtain or maintain financing arrangements on terms favorable to us or at all;

•the level and volatility of prevailing interest rates and credit spreads;

•reductions in the yield on our investments and increases in the cost of our financing;

•general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate and the potential need to post additional collateral on our financing arrangements;

•the return or impact of current or future investments;

•changes in our business, investment strategies or target investments;

•increased competition from entities investing in our target investments;

•effects of hedging instruments on our target investments;

•changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates and similar matters;

•our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act;

•availability of desirable investment opportunities;

•threats to information security, including by way of cyber-attacks;

•availability of qualified personnel;

•operational failures by third-parties on whom we rely in the conduct of our business;

•estimates relating to our ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future;

•natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and floods, including climate change-related risks; acts of war and/or terrorism; pandemics or outbreaks of infectious disease; and other events that may cause unanticipated and

ii uninsured performance declines and/or losses to us or the owners and operators of the real estate securing our investments;

•deterioration in the performance of the properties securing our investments that may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments, risks in collection of contractual interest payments and, potentially, principal losses to us, including the risk of credit loss charges and any impact on our ability to satisfy the covenants and conditions in our debt agreements; and

•difficulty or delays in redeploying the proceeds from repayments of our existing investments.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain statistics and other data that, in some cases, have been obtained or compiled from information made available by loan servicers and other third-party service providers.
