Risk Rating We assess the risk factors of each loan and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, loan to value ("LTV") ratio, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan, and project sponsorship. This review is performed quarterly. Based on a 5-point scale, our loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1. Very low risk 2. Low risk 3. Moderate/average risk 4. High risk/potential for loss: a loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss 5. Impaired/loss likely: a loan that has a high risk of realizing principal loss, has incurred principal loss, or an impairment has been recorded The following tables present the carrying value of our loan portfolio by year of origination and internal risk rating and gross write-offs by year of origination as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively ($ in thousands): March 31, 2023 Amortized Cost by Year Originated Risk Rating Number of Loans Total % of Portfolio 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior 1 — $ — — % $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — 2 3 195,584 2.3 % — — — — 129,712 65,872 3 47 8,081,606 95.1 % 172,260 2,606,091 2,383,028 676,366 1,508,600 735,261 4 3 110,762 1.3 % — — — — — 110,762 5 2 114,383 1.3 % — — — — — 114,383 Total 55 $ 8,502,335 100.0 % $ 172,260 $ 2,606,091 $ 2,383,028 $ 676,366 $ 1,638,312 $ 1,026,279 General CECL Allowance (1) (30,267) Total carrying value, net $ 8,472,068 Weighted Average Risk Rating 3.0 Gross write-offs $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — December 31, 2022 Amortized Cost by Year Originated Risk Rating Number of Loans Total % of Portfolio 2022 2021 2020 2019 2017 Prior 1 — $ — — % $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — 2 2 65,943 0.8 % — — — — — 65,943 3 54 8,401,925 96.5 % 2,575,455 2,462,499 687,329 1,637,050 479,769 559,823 4 2 27,451 0.3 % — — — — 19,951 7,500 5 3 212,895 2.4 % — — — — — 212,895 Total 61 $ 8,708,214 100.0 % $ 2,575,455 $ 2,462,499 $ 687,329 $ 1,637,050 $ 499,720 $ 846,161 General CECL Allowance (1) (26,224) Total carrying value, net $ 8,681,990 Weighted Average Risk Rating 3.0 Gross write-offs $ 7,000 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 7,000 ——————— (1) $4.7 million of the General CECL Allowance for both 2023 and 2022, respectively, is excluded from this table because it relates to unfunded commitments and has been recorded as a liability under accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. CECL In accordance with ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which we refer to as the "CECL Standard," we record allowances for loans and held-to-maturity debt securities that are deducted from the carrying amount of the assets to present the net carrying value of the amounts expected to be collected on the assets. We record loan specific allowances as a practical expedient under the CECL Standard ("Specific CECL Allowance"), which we apply to assets that are collateral dependent and where the borrower or sponsor is experiencing financial difficulty. For the remainder of the portfolio, we record a general allowance ("General CECL Allowance", and together with the Specific CECL Allowance, "CECL Allowances"), on a collective basis by assets with similar risk characteristics. We have elected to use the weighted average remaining maturity ("WARM") method in determining a General CECL Allowance for a majority of our portfolio. In the future, we may use other acceptable methods, such as a probability-of-default/loss-given-default method.

For information on General and Specific CECL Allowance changes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and during the year ended December 31, 2022, see below. General CECL Allowance In determining the General CECL Allowance using the WARM method, an annual historical loss rate, adjusted for macroeconomic estimates, is applied to the amortized cost of an asset, or pool of assets, over each subsequent period for the assets' remaining expected life. We considered various factors including (i) historical loss experience in the commercial real estate lending market, (ii) timing of expected repayments and satisfactions, (iii) expected future funding, (iv) capital subordinate to us when we are the senior lender, (v) capital senior to us when we are the subordinate lender, and (vi) our current and future view of the macroeconomic environment for a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The CECL Standard requires the use of significant judgment to arrive at an estimated credit loss. There is significant uncertainty related to future macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, labor shortages and interest rates. We derived an annual historical loss rate based on a commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") database with historical losses from 1998 through the first quarter of 2023 provided by a third party, Trepp LLC. We applied various filters to arrive at a CMBS dataset most analogous to our current portfolio from which to determine an appropriate historical loss rate. The annual historical loss rate was further adjusted to reflect our expectations of the macroeconomic environment for a reasonable and supportable forecast period. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we adopted a shortened four quarter forecast period in response to heightened macroeconomic uncertainty brought by the pandemic. With the effects of the pandemic gradually easing in response to global and domestic vaccination efforts and other public safety measures, we reverted to a longer forecast period of six quarters effective December 31, 2022 and further extended to eight quarters effective March 31, 2023. In assessing the macroeconomic environment, we consider macroeconomic factors, including unemployment rate, commercial real estate prices, and market liquidity. We compared the historical data for each metric to historical commercial real estate losses in order to determine the correlation of the data. We used projections, obtained from third-party service providers, of each factor to approximate the impact the macroeconomic outlook may have on our loss rate. The General CECL Allowance on subordinate loans is calculated by incorporating both the loan balance of the position(s) of the structurally senior third-party lender(s) and the balance of our subordinate loan(s). The subordinate loans, by virtue of being the first loss position, are required to absorb losses prior to the senior position(s) being impacted, resulting in a higher percentage allowance attributable to the subordinate loan. The General CECL Allowance on unfunded loan commitments is time-weighted based on our expected commitment to fund such obligations. The General CECL Allowance on unfunded commitments is recorded as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. We have made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable ($65.7 million and $65.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively), included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, from the amortized cost basis of the related commercial mortgage loans and subordinate loans and other lending assets in determining the General CECL Allowance, as any uncollectible accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner. Although our secured debt obligations and senior secured term loan financing have a minimum tangible net worth maintenance covenant, the General CECL Allowance has no impact on these covenants as we are permitted to add back the General CECL Allowance for the computation of tangible net worth as defined in the respective agreements. The following schedule sets forth our General CECL Allowance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands): March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Commercial mortgage loans, net $ 27,570 $ 22,848 Subordinate loans and other lending assets, net 2,697 3,376 Unfunded commitments (1) 4,695 4,347 Total General CECL Allowance $ 34,962 $ 30,571 ——————— (1) The General CECL Allowance on unfunded commitments is recorded as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Our General CECL Allowance increased by $4.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 . The increase was primarily driven by an increase in our view of the remaining expected term of our loan portfolio, partially offset by the impact of portfolio seasoning and loan repayments and sales. Specific CECL Allowance For collateral-dependent loans where we have deemed the borrower/sponsor to be experiencing financial difficulty, we have elected to apply a practical expedient in accordance with the CECL Standard in which the fair value of the underlying collateral is compared to the amortized cost of the loan in determining a Specific CECL Allowance. The Specific CECL Allowance is determined as the difference between the fair value of the underlying collateral and the carrying value of the loan (prior to the Specific CECL Allowance). When the repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on a sale, rather than operations, of the collateral, the fair value is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell the collateral. Collateral-dependent loans evaluated for a Specific CECL Allowance are removed from the General CECL pool. The fair value of the underlying collateral is determined by using method(s) such as discounted cash flow, the market approach, or direct capitalization approach. The key unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral may vary depending on the information available to us and market conditions as of the valuation date. We regularly evaluate the extent and impact of any credit migration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor on a loan-by-loan basis. The Specific CECL Allowance is evaluated on a quarterly basis. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan and/or (iii) the liquidation value of the underlying collateral. We also evaluate the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, we consider the overall economic environment, real estate sector and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such impairment analysis is completed and reviewed by asset management and finance personnel who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as debt service coverage ratio, property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections and (iii) current credit spreads and discussions with market participants. The following table summarizes our risk rated 5 loans as of March 31, 2023, which were analyzed for Specific CECL Allowances ($ in thousands): Type Property type Location Amortized cost prior to Specific CECL Allowance Specific CECL Allowance Amortized cost Interest recognition status/ as of date Risk rating Mortgage Retail (1)(2) Cincinnati, OH $165,903 $67,000 $98,903 Non-Accrual/ 10/1/2019 5 Mortgage total: $165,903 $67,000 $98,903 Mezzanine Residential (3) Manhattan, NY $81,980 $66,500 $15,480 Non-Accrual/ 7/1/2021 5 Mezzanine total: $81,980 $66,500 $15,480 Total: $247,883 $133,500 $114,383 ——————— (1) The fair value of retail collateral was determined by applying a capitalization rate of 8.5%. (2) In September 2018, we entered a joint venture with Turner Consulting II, LLC ("Turner Consulting"), through an entity which owns the underlying property that secures our loan. Turner Consulting contributed 10% of the venture’s equity and we contributed 90%. The entity was deemed to be a Variable Interest Entity (a "VIE") and we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of that VIE as we do not have the power to direct the entity's activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest paid was applied towards reducing the carrying value of the loan. The related profit and loss from the joint venture was immaterial for the three March 31, 2023 and 2022. (3) The fair value of the residential collateral was determined by making certain projections and assumptions with respect to future performance and a discount rate of 10%. We cease accruing interest on loans if we deem the interest to be uncollectible with any previously accrued uncollected interest on the loan charged to interest income in the same period. The amortized cost basis for loans on non-accrual was $398.2 million an d $468.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , respectively. Under certain circumstances, we may apply the cost recovery method under which interest collected on a loan reduces the loan's amortized cost. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we received $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, i n interest that reduced amort ized cost under the cost recovery method. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amortized cost basis for loans with accrued interest past due 90 or more days was $398.2 million and $581.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no loans with accrued interest between 30 and 89 days past due, respectively. During the third quarter of 2022, we refinanced our three mezzanine loans, and originated a commercial mortgage loan as part of an overall recapitalization. All of the loans are secured by an ultra-luxury residential property in Manhattan, NY. These loans have an aggregate amortized cost at March 31, 2023 of $743.9 million (net of $66.5 million Specific CECL Allowance) (inclusive of $82.5 million of payment- in-kind interest). As of March 31, 2023, these loans include (i) a $250.3 million commercial mortgage loan (“Senior Loan”), (ii) a $194.3 million senior mezzanine loan (“Senior Mezzanine Loan”), (iii) a $283.8 million junior mezzanine loan (“Junior Mezzanine A Loan”), and (iv) a $15.5 million junior mezzanine loan (net of a $66.5 million Specific CECL Allowance) (“Junior Mezzanine B Loan” together with the Junior Mezzanine A Loan collectively referred to as “Junior Mezzanine Loan”). In refinancing the Senior Mezzanine Loan and Junior Mezzanine Loan, we modified the loan terms with the borrower by modifying the interest rates from LIBOR+15.7% to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")+9.0% on the Senior Mezzanine Loan, from LIBOR+22.5% to SOFR+15.0% on the Junior Mezzanine A Loan, and from LIBOR+17.5% to SOFR+15.0% on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan. We also extended the term on all three loans from July 2022 to September 2024, including a one-year extension. Based on our analysis under ASC 310-20 “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASC 310-20”), we have deemed this refinance to be a continuation of our existing loans. We opted to cease accruing interest on the Junior Mezzanine A Loan and Junior Mezzanine B Loan as of July 1, 2021 based on a waterfall sharing arrangement with a subordinate capital provider. We will continue to not accrue interest on the Junior Mezzanine Loan following this refinancing. In accordance with ASC 326, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses" and adoption of ASU 2022-02 "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures", we have classified the refinancing of the Senior Mezzanine Loan and Junior Mezzanine Loan as an interest rate reduction and term extension. The aggregate amortized cost of the Senior Mezzanine Loan and Junior Mezzanine Loan as of March 31, 2023 totaled $493.6 million (net of $66.5 million Specific CECL Allowance), or 5.8% of our aggregate commercial mortgage loans and subordinate loans and other lending assets by amortized cost. As of March 31, 2022, sales velocity on the underlying property lagged behind the borrower's business plan and management's expectations. Based on this information as of March 31, 2022, we deemed the borrower to be experiencing financial difficulty and accordingly changed the risk rating to a 5 and recorded $30.0 million of Specific CECL Allowance on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an additional $36.5 million Specific CECL Allowance on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan, bringing the total loan Specific CECL Allowance to $66.5 million, due to a slower sales pace across the ultra-luxury residential segment at the end of 2022 in response to broader market uncertainty. The modified loan terms as discussed above have been reflected in our calculation of CECL for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. R efer to "CECL" section above for additional information regarding our calculation of CECL Allowance. As of each March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our amortized cost basis in this loan was $15.5 million and its risk rating remained as a 5. In March 2017, we originated a first mortgage secured by a hotel in Atlanta, GA. As of May 1, 2022, due to slower than expected recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, we deemed the borrower to be experiencing financial difficulty and ceased accruing interest. During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a $7.0 million Specific CECL Allowance. Additionally, during 2022, we modified the loan to provide two short term extensions to the borrower. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the loan went into maturity default, at which time we were in discussions with the sponsor regarding consensual foreclosure. In anticipation of the foreclosure, we wrote off the previously recorded Specific CECL Allowance, and recorded a $7.0 million realized loss on the loan within realized gain (loss) on investments within our December 31, 2022 consolidated statement of operations . On March 31, 2023, we acquired legal title of the underlying hotel through a deed-in-lieu foreclosure and recognized an additional $4.8 million loss within net realized loss on investments on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The realized loss represents the difference between the original loan's amortized cost and the fair value of the net real estate assets acquired at the time of foreclosure. Refer to "Note 5 - Real Estate Owned" for additional disclosure. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the re were $0.5 million and $9.5 million , respectively of unfunded commitments related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the entire loan portfolio. Other Loan and Lending Assets Activity We recognized no payment-in-kind interest for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We recognized no pre-payment penalties and accelerated fees for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our portfolio included other lending assets, which are subordinate risk retention interests in securitization vehicles. The underlying mortgages related to our subordinate risk retention interest is secured by a portfolio of properties located throughout the United States. Our maximum exposure to loss from the subordinate risk retention interest is limited to the book value of such interests. The book value as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $51.1 million, consisting of one interest with a weighted average maturity of 1.2 years and 1.4 years, respectively. We are not obligated to provide, and do not intend to provide financial support to these subordinate risk retention interests. These interests are accounted for as held-to-maturity and recorded at carrying value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received £72.2 million ($88.4 million assuming conversion into U.S. Dollars ("USD")) full repayment of one of our commercial mortgage loans secured by an office property in London, UK, including all default interest accrued to date, which was approximately $0.7 million. In conjunction with the repayment, we are no longer recording the previously sold subordinate interest as a secured borrowing on our consolidated balance sheet, which had an amortized cost basis of £20.8 million ($25.1 million assuming conversion into USD).
