1. ORGANIZATION

KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and it intends to continue to operate in such manner. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through KBS Limited Partnership III (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. KBS REIT Holdings III LLC (“REIT Holdings III”), the limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings III.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company entered into with the Advisor (as amended, the “Advisory Agreement”). On January 26, 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to the Advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. As of September 30, 2024, the Advisor owned 20,857 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company owns a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned 14 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of Prime US REIT, a Singapore real estate investment trust (the “SREIT”).

The Company commenced its initial public offering (the “Offering”) on October 26, 2010. Upon commencing the Offering, the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, as amended and restated (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in the primary Offering on May 29, 2015 and terminated the primary Offering on July 28, 2015.

The Company sold 169,006,162 shares of common stock in the primary Offering for gross proceeds of $1.7 billion. The Company sold 46,154,757 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $471.3 million. The Company has redeemed or repurchased 74,644,349 shares sold in the Offering for $789.2 million. On March 15, 2024, the Company terminated its dividend reinvestment plan and its share redemption program.

Additionally, on October 3, 2014, the Company issued 258,462 shares of common stock for $2.4 million in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company generally finances its real estate investments using notes payable that are typically structured as non-recourse secured mortgages with maturities of approximately three to five years, with short-term extension options available upon the Company meeting certain debt covenants. Each reporting period, management evaluates the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by evaluating conditions and events, including assessing the Company’s liquidity needs in order to satisfy upcoming debt obligations and the Company’s ability to satisfy debt covenant requirements. Through the normal course of operations, the Company has $1.0 billion of notes payable maturing during the 12-month period from the issuance of these financial statements. In order to refinance, restructure or extend the Company’s maturing debt obligations, the Company has been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and the Company may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. As a result of reductions in loan commitments and paydowns and the ongoing liquidity needs in the Company’s real estate portfolio, the Company may consider selling assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage its liquidity needs. Selling real estate assets in the current market would likely adversely impact the ultimate sale price. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate raising capital through the issuance of new equity or debt. The Company may also defer noncontractual expenditures. However, there can be no assurances as to the certainty or timing of management’s plans to be effectively implemented within one year from the date the financial statements are issued, as certain elements of management’s plans are outside the control of the Company, including its ability to successfully refinance, restructure or extend certain of its debt instruments, sell assets or raise capital. As a result of the Company’s upcoming loan maturities, reductions in loan commitments and loan paydowns, the challenging commercial real estate lending environment, the current interest rate environment, leasing challenges in certain markets where the Company owns properties, reduction in the Company’s cash flows due to elevated interest rates and the lack of transaction volume in the U.S. office market as well as general market instability, management’s plans cannot be considered probable and thus do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 8, “Notes Payable” for further information regarding the Company’s notes payable.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings III, the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold an office property. As a result, certain assets and liabilities related to this property were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was equal to net income (loss) for these respective periods.

Derivative Instruments

Cash Flow Classification of Derivative Settlements

The Company classifies proceeds received or amounts paid related to early terminations or settlements of its derivative instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes in cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company terminated two interest rate swap agreements and received aggregate settlement proceeds of $6.6 million which was included in net cash flow provided by operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Per Share Data

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Distributions declared per common share were $0.230 in the aggregate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. No distributions were declared for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions and were based on a monthly record date for each month during the period commencing January 2023 through June 2023. For each monthly record date for distributions during the period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.03833333 per share. No distributions were declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures

Square footage, occupancy, number of tenants and other measures, including annualized base rent and annualized base rent per square foot, used to describe real estate investments included in these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Segments

The Company has invested in core real estate properties and real estate-related investments with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing investments. The Company’s real estate properties exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics to each other. Accordingly, the Company aggregated its investments in real estate properties into one reportable business segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

In November 2023, the FASB issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, as well as disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing performance. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures under ASU 2023-07 and all disclosures under Topic 280 on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements and future disclosures but does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4. REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)

Operating Leases

The Company’s office and office/retail properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of September 30, 2024, the leases, including leases that have been executed but not yet commenced, had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 14.8 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.6 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or a part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $9.1 million and $10.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $7.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $99.8 million and $91.8 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $18.9 million and $16.0 million of unamortized lease incentives as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):


October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024	$	46,851
2025	184,806
2026	174,438
2027	152,150
2028	131,619
Thereafter	484,448
	$	1,174,312

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s office and office/retail properties were leased to approximately 520 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:


Industry	Number of Tenants	Annualized Base Rent (1) (in thousands)		Percentage of Annualized Base Rent
Finance	105	$	35,235	18.5	%
Legal Services	52	25,241		13.2	%

		$	60,476	31.7	%

4. REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)

As of September 30, 2024, no other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent and no tenant accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent.

Geographic Concentration Risk

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s net investments in real estate in Illinois, California and Texas represented 20.2%, 19.3% and 17.7% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Illinois, California and Texas real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Impairment of Real Estate

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $6.8 million to write down the carrying value of 60 South Sixth (located in Minneapolis, Minnesota) to its estimated fair value as a result of changes in cash flow estimates which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows being lower than the net carrying value of the property. The decrease in cash flow projections was primarily due to the continued challenges in the leasing environment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $45.5 million to write down the carrying value of 201 Spear Street (located in San Francisco, California) to its estimated fair value as a result of continued market uncertainty due to rising interest rates, increased vacancy rates as a result of slow return to office in San Francisco, additional projected vacancy due to anticipated tenant turnover and further declining values of comparable sales in the market, all of which impacted ongoing cash flow estimates and leasing projections, which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows being lower than the net carrying value of the property. As a result, 201 Spear Street was valued at substantially less than the outstanding mortgage debt. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the borrower under the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan (the “Spear Street Borrower”) entered into a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction (the “Deed-in-Lieu Transaction”) with the lender of the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan (the “Spear Street Lender”). On January 9, 2024, the Spear Street Lender transferred the title of the 201 Spear Street property to a third-party buyer of the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan. See below, “— Disposition Through Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure Transaction.”

In connection with the Company’s sale of 11 properties to the SREIT on July 18, 2019 (the “Singapore Portfolio”), on July 19, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (“REIT Properties III”), acquired 307,953,999 units in the SREIT at a price of $271.0 million, or $0.88 per unit, representing a 33.3% ownership interest in the SREIT (such transactions, the “Singapore Transaction”). On August 21, 2019, REIT Properties III sold 18,392,100 of its units in the SREIT for $16.2 million pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of the SREIT’s offering, reducing REIT Properties III’s ownership in the SREIT to 31.3% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date.

(1) Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of September 30, 2024. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2024, consisting of the contractual interest rate and using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2024, where applicable. For information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments, see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments.”

(2) Represents the maturity date as of September 30, 2024; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the dates shown. See below.

(3) Beginning January 1, 2024, the borrower under the Almaden Mortgage Loan is required to make a monthly principal payment in the amount of $130,000.

(4) The Spear Street Borrower defaulted on the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan as a result of failure to pay in full the entire November 2023 monthly interest payment, resulting in an event of default on the loan on November 14, 2023. On December 29, 2023, the Spear Street Borrower and the Spear Street Lender entered a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction and the Spear Street Lender transferred the title of the 201 Spear Street property to a third-party buyer of the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan on January 9, 2024.

(5) On April 11, 2024, the borrower under the Carillon Mortgage Loan entered into a loan modification agreement (the “Carillon Second Modification Agreement”) with the lender and extended the maturity date of the Carillon Mortgage Loan to June 10, 2024. One 24-month extension option remained available from the original maturity date of April 11, 2024, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. In connection with the Carillon Second Modification Agreement, the borrowing capacity under the Carillon Mortgage Loan was reduced to $94.4 million. The revolving debt outstanding was converted to term debt and the remaining unadvanced portion of the commitment of $16.6 million was permanently cancelled pursuant to the Carillon Second Modification Agreement. In June 2024, the borrower exercised the 24-month extension option, which extended the maturity date of the Carillon Mortgage Loan to April 11, 2026.

Through the normal course of operations, the Company has $1.0 billion of notes payable maturing over the 12-month period from the issuance of these financial statements. Considering the current commercial real estate lending environment, this raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. In order to refinance, restructure or extend the Company’s maturing debt obligations, the Company has been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and the Company may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. As a result of reductions in loan commitments and paydowns and the ongoing liquidity needs in the Company’s real estate portfolio, the Company may consider selling assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage its liquidity needs. Selling real estate assets in the current market would likely adversely impact the ultimate sale price. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate raising capital through the issuance of new equity or debt. The Company may also defer noncontractual expenditures. Additionally, high interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on the Company’s ability to meet loan compliance tests and may further reduce the available liquidity under the Company’s loan agreements. See also, Note 2, “Going Concern.”

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s interest expense related to notes payable was $32.1 million and $97.7 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s interest expense related to notes payable was $31.1 million and $87.1 million, respectively, which excludes the impact of interest rate swaps and caps put in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. See Note 9, “Derivative Instruments.” Included in interest expense was the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million and $7.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $1.0 million and $3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $9.6 million and $9.9 million of interest expense were payable, respectively.

The following is a schedule of maturities, including principal amortization payments, for all notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024	$	1,110,717

The Company’s notes payable contain financial debt covenants. As discussed below under “– Recent Financing Transactions,” in connection with short-term extensions of certain loans, the Company’s lenders have waived certain financial debt covenants. As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes it was in compliance with the debt covenants under its notes payable to the extent those covenants were not waived by the lenders. The Company’s loan agreements contain cross default provisions, including that the failure of one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay debt as it matures under one debt facility may trigger the acceleration of the Company’s indebtedness under other debt facilities. As of September 30, 2024, the Almaden Mortgage Loan, the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility and the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility are subject to cash sweep arrangements, whereby each month the excess cash flow from the properties securing the loan is deposited into a cash management account held for the benefit of the Company’s lenders. Generally, excess cash flow means an amount equal to (a) gross revenues from the properties securing the facility less (b) an amount equal to principal and interest paid with respect to the associated debt facility, operating expenses of the properties securing the facility and in certain cases a limited amount of REIT-level expenses. In certain cases, the Company may request disbursements from the cash management accounts. Amounts held in the cash management accounts at each reporting period are included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Financing Transactions

Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility

On February 6, 2024, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers entered into a fourth loan modification and extension agreement with the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders (the “Fourth Extension Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fourth Extension Agreement, the Agent and Portfolio Loan Lenders agreed to extend the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility to August 6, 2024.

On July 15, 2024, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers entered into a fifth loan modification and extension agreement with the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders (the “Fifth Extension Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fifth Extension Agreement, the Agent and Portfolio Loan Lenders agreed to extend the maturity of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility to November 6, 2024. Additionally, pursuant to the Fifth Extension Agreement, the interest rate which was based on the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) was replaced with SOFR. Effective August 1, 2024, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 180 basis points plus a SOFR margin adjustment of 10 basis points.

Under the Fourth and Fifth Extension Agreements, the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders waived the requirement for the Portfolio Loan Properties to satisfy the minimum required ongoing debt service coverage ratio as of the December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 test dates and waived the requirement for REIT Properties III as guarantor to satisfy a net worth covenant for the period between February 6, 2024 and November 6, 2024. See Note 13, “Subsequent Events – Sixth Modification of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility,” which also waived the requirement for the Portfolio Loan Properties to satisfy the minimum required ongoing debt service coverage ratio and waived the requirement for REIT Properties III as guarantor to satisfy a net worth covenant through the then current maturity date under the loan documents.

The Fourth Extension Agreement also included, among other requirements, a requirement for the Company to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both on or prior to July 15, 2024. The Fifth Extension Agreement extended the capital raise milestone to October 15, 2024 and added additional milestones. See Note 13, “Subsequent Events – Sixth Modification of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility,” which waived certain milestones initially included in the Fourth and Fifth Extension Agreements, including the requirement for the Company to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both, and requires the Company to satisfy other conditions.

The Fourth Extension Agreement provides that 100% of excess cash flow from the Portfolio Loan Properties continues to be deposited monthly into a cash collateral account (the “Cash Sweep Collateral Account”). Funds may not be withdrawn from the Cash Sweep Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Agent, and upon certain events, the Agent has the right to withdraw funds from the Cash Sweep Collateral Account.

The Fourth Extension Agreement provides that, subject to the requirements contained therein, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers will be permitted to withdraw funds from the Cash Sweep Collateral Account to pay or reimburse the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers for approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements and for operating shortfalls related to the Portfolio Loan Properties to the extent they occur in any month.

Additionally, the Fourth Extension Agreement provides that a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment following a default under the following loans is delivered to REIT Properties III by U.S. Bank, National Association under (a) the Company’s Credit Facility, (b) the payment guaranty agreement of the Company’s Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility or (c) any other indebtedness of REIT Properties III where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million. The Fifth Extension Agreement further provides a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment following a default is delivered to REIT Properties III by the lenders under the Company’s Almaden Mortgage Loan or the Company’s Park Place Village Mortgage Loan, in each case where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million.

Pursuant to the Fourth Extension Agreement, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers also agreed to pay the Portfolio Loan Lenders a non-refundable fee in the amount of $0.9 million, to deposit $5.0 million into the Cash Sweep Collateral Account (which will generally be used to fund capital expenditures and operating cash flow needs of the Portfolio Loan Properties), and to pay the Portfolio Loan Lenders an exit fee in the amount of $1.0 million, which is due on the earliest to occur of the maturity date, the repayment of the loan in full and the occurrence of a default under the loan. Pursuant to the Fifth Extension Agreement, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers also agreed to pay the Portfolio Loan Lenders a non-refundable fee in the amount of $0.6 million, to deposit an additional $5.0 million into the Cash Sweep Collateral Account (which will generally be used to fund capital expenditures and operating cash flow needs of the Portfolio Loan Properties), and to extend the timing of the payment of the exit fee in the amount of $1.0 million due to the Portfolio Loan Lenders to the earliest to occur of the maturity date, the repayment of the loan in full and the occurrence of a default under the loan.

Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility

On October 17, 2018, certain of the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers”) entered into a loan facility (as subsequently modified and amended, the “Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent”). The current lenders under the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility are U.S. Bank National Association, Regions Bank, Citizens Bank, City National Bank and Associated Bank, National Association (the “Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders”).

On February 21, 2024, in connection with the disposition of the McEwen Building and pursuant to the Third Modification Agreement (defined below), the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers paid the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent the net sales proceeds from the sale of the McEwen Building (“Required McEwen Payment”) of $46.2 million, which amount was applied to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility to $203.0 million, and the McEwen Building was released as security for the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility. Notwithstanding the Required McEwen Payment, the Third Modification Agreement allows the Company to draw back a portion of the loan payment through the holdbacks described below, providing additional liquidity to the Company to fund capital needs in the portfolio. Following the release of the McEwen Building, the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility is secured by 515 Congress, Gateway Tech Center and 201 17th Street (the “Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Properties”).

On February 9, 2024, the Company, through the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers, entered into an additional advance and third modification agreement (the “Third Modification Agreement”) with the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent and the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders. In connection with the Required McEwen Payment and the release of the McEwen Building, the Third Modification Agreement provides that the following terms apply to the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility:

(i) the maturity date is extended to March 1, 2026,

(ii) the interest rate resets to one-month Term SOFR plus 300 basis points and the loan requires quarterly payments of principal in the amount of $880,900,

(iii) the revolving portion of the facility is converted into non-revolving debt, the accordion option is eliminated (whereby the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers previously had the ability to request that the commitment be increased subject to the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders’ consent and certain additional conditions), and the revolving portion of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility and the rights of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers to reborrow debt under the loan once it has been paid is eliminated,

(iv) holdbacks of a portion of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility are established, which holdbacks may be disbursed subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, as described below,

(v) the Company is restricted from paying dividends or distributions to its stockholders or redeeming shares of its stock without the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent’s prior written consent, except for any amounts that the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and

(vi) certain cash management sweeps are established, as described below.

As a result of the release of the McEwen Building, the Third Modification Agreement allows the Company to draw back a portion of the amount of the loan paydown from the McEwen Building sale proceeds through holdbacks on the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility, consisting of (i) a holdback for the payment of, or reimbursement of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers’ payment of, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures related to the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Properties equal to $10.0 million and (ii) a holdback for the payment of, or reimbursement of REIT Properties III’s (the “Guarantor”) and/or its subsidiaries’ payment of, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures for real property and related improvements owned directly or indirectly by the Guarantor in an amount equal to $6.2 million. Disbursements of the holdback amounts are subject to the conditions of the Third Modification Agreement. In the event of disbursements of the holdback amounts, such advances by the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders will increase the aggregate principal commitment under the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility. As of September 30, 2024, $7.6 million of the holdbacks on the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility are available for future disbursement, subject to the conditions of the Third Modification Agreement.

Also as a result of the release of the McEwen Building, the Third Modification Agreement provides that excess cash flow from the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Properties be deposited monthly into an interest-bearing account held by the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent for the benefit of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders (“Cash Management Account”). So long as no default exists under the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility and subject to the terms and conditions in the Third Modification Agreement, the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Borrowers may request disbursement from the Cash Management Account for the payment of debt service payments (including the quarterly principal payments) and other payments due under the loan, for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital expenditures and other operating shortfalls and for certain REIT-level expenses. The Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent has the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account.

In connection with the Third Modification Agreement, the Guarantor and the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Lenders also agreed to amendments to the Guarantor’s financial covenants (increasing the allowed leverage ratio and reducing the required earnings to fixed charges ratios). The Third Modification Agreement provides that disbursements of the holdback amounts and withdrawals from the Cash Management Account are subject to compliance with the above referenced amended Guarantor financial covenants and other covenants that require the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Properties to satisfy certain leverage and debt service coverage ratios and that the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Agent may demand a pay down of the outstanding principal balance of the loan to the extent of noncompliance with such covenants.

Modifications of Credit Facility

On July 30, 2021, REIT Properties III, the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an unsecured credit facility (as subsequently modified and amended, the “Credit Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Facility Agent”). The current lenders under the Credit Facility are U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Facility Lenders”).

On May 10, 2024, REIT Properties III entered into the second modification of Credit Facility (the “Second Modification Agreement”) with the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders. On July 30, 2024, REIT Properties III entered into the third modification of the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement”) with the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders.

The Second Modification Agreement permanently reduced the aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility to $62.9 million, which was fully drawn as of September 30, 2024. The Second Modification Agreement also eliminated the revolving portion of the facility and converted the facility to a non-revolving term loan, such that no amounts repaid may be subsequently reborrowed.

Pursuant to the Second Modification Agreement and Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement, the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders waived the requirement for REIT Properties III to comply with the maximum leverage ratio, minimum consolidated net worth requirement, minimum fixed charges coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirement from December 31, 2023 through and including the then current maturity date.

The Second Modification Agreement provides that REIT Properties III, which indirectly owns all of the Company’s properties and holds the Company’s investment in units of the SREIT, will not make any distributions, dividends or redemptions without the consent of the Credit Facility Lenders, except for (i) amounts necessary for the Company to maintain its REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to avoid liability for federal and state income or excise taxes, (ii) certain REIT-level general and administrative expenses and (iii) asset management fees allocated to the Company’s properties.

The Second Modification Agreement amended the maturity date of the loan to the earliest to occur of (i) July 31, 2024, (ii) the date on which the Company raises new equity, debt or a combination of both in an amount equal to or not less than $100,000,000 and (iii) the date on which the aggregate commitment under the facility is reduced to zero or is otherwise terminated. The Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement further amended the maturity date of the loan to the earliest to occur of (i) November 6, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the aggregate commitment under the facility is reduced to zero or is otherwise terminated. See Note 13, “ Subsequent Events – Fourth Modification of Credit Facility,” for information regarding the fourth modification of the Credit Facility.

Additionally, the Second Modification Agreement provides that an event of default will occur under the Credit Facility upon the occurrence of an event of default under any credit facility for which REIT Properties III is a guarantor (other than non-recourse carveouts).

The Second Modification Agreement required the Company to cause the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries that own 515 Congress, 201 17th Street and Gateway Tech Center to be pledged to the Credit Facility Lenders as security for REIT Properties III’s obligations with respect to the following advances under the Credit Facility: $19.8 million that had been advanced under the Credit Facility as of the closing of the Second Modification Agreement and $5.6 million that was advanced under the Credit Facility for the sole purpose of remargining the Carillon Mortgage Loan. The Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement further modified the pledge agreement and required the Company to cause the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries that own 515 Congress, 201 17th Street and Gateway Tech Center to be pledged to the Credit Facility Lenders as security for all of REIT Properties III’s obligations under the Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement, effective July 30, 2024, the Credit Facility bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 300 basis points.

The Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement also included, among other requirements, a requirement for the Company to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both on or prior to October 15, 2024. In October 2024, the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders waived certain requirements initially included in the Credit Facility Third Modification Agreement, including the requirement for the Company to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both, and requires the Company to satisfy other conditions.

Pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Fourth Extension Agreement, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan to November 6, 2024.

See Note 13, “Subsequent Events – Fifth Modification and Extension of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan.”

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero.

The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.

(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, unrealized gain on interest rate swaps included a $3.0 million and $7.6 million unrealized loss, respectively, related to the change in fair value of two off-market interest rate swaps (which expired on November 2, 2023) determined to be hybrid financial instruments for which the Company elected to apply the fair value option.

10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

Real estate equity securities: At September 30, 2024, the Company’s investment in the units of the SREIT was presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the units of the SREIT was based on a quoted price in an active market on a major stock exchange. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs.

Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit risks to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.

Notes payable: The fair values of the Company’s notes payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.

The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s notes payable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):


	September 30, 2024						December 31, 2023
	Face Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Face Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	1,591,211	$	1,589,507	$	1,586,982	$	1,738,613	$	1,735,896	$	1,679,259

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. Low levels of transaction volume for certain financial instruments have made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. The Company’s Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager terminated on March 15, 2024 upon termination of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. These agreements entitled the Advisor and/or the Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Offering and reimbursement of organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company and entitle the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the investment of funds in real estate investments, the management of those investments, among other services, and the disposition of investments, and entitle the Advisor to reimbursement of certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also served as the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“KBS REIT II”) (liquidated May 2023) and KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. (“KBS Growth & Income REIT”) (liquidated August 2024).

As of January 1, 2023, the Company, together with KBS Growth & Income REIT, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, had entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage were shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. At renewal in June 2023, due to its liquidation, KBS Growth & Income REIT elected to cease participation in the program and obtained separate insurance coverage. In June 2024, the Company renewed its participation in the program, and the program is effective through June 30, 2025.

Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

(1) See below “–Asset Management Fees.”

(2) Reimbursable operating expenses primarily consists of internal audit personnel costs, accounting software costs and cybersecurity related expenses incurred by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $22,000 and $86,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $30,000 and $86,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company currently does not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition or origination fees or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses), and other than future payments pursuant to the Bonus Retention Fund (see below, “–Asset Management Fees”), the Company does not reimburse the Advisor for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers and affiliated directors. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company.

(3) Disposition fees with respect to real estate sold are included in the gain on sale of real estate, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

In connection with the Offering, Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber agreed to provide additional indemnification to one of the participating broker-dealers. The Company agreed to add supplemental coverage to its directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to insure Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber’s obligations under this indemnification agreement in exchange for reimbursement by Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber to the Company for all costs, expenses and premiums related to this supplemental coverage. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Advisor incurred $101,000 and $72,000, respectively, for the costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by the Company.

Asset Management Fees

For asset management services, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excludes acquisition fees paid to the Advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment (but excluding acquisition fees paid to the Advisor). With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto, but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid to the Advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid to the Advisor), as of the time of calculation. The Company currently does not pay any asset management fees in connection with the Company’s investment in the equity securities of the SREIT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on November 8, 2022, the Company and the Advisor amended the advisory agreement and commencing with asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022, the Company paid $1.15 million of the monthly asset management fee to the Advisor in cash and the Company deposited the remainder of the monthly asset management fee into an interest bearing account in the Company’s name, which amounts will be paid to the Advisor from such account solely as reimbursement for payments made by the Advisor pursuant to the Advisor’s employee retention program (such account, the “Bonus Retention Fund”). The Bonus Retention Fund was established in order to incentivize and retain key employees of the Advisor. The Bonus Retention Fund was fully funded in December 2023 when the Company had deposited $8.5 million in cash into such account. Following such time, the monthly asset management fee became fully payable in cash to the Advisor. The Advisor has acknowledged and agreed that payments by the Advisor to employees under the Advisor’s employee retention program that are reimbursed by the Company from the Bonus Retention Fund will be conditioned on (a) the Company’s liquidation and dissolution; (b) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of the Company in which (i) the Company is not the surviving entity and (ii) the Advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; (c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (d) the non-renewal or termination of the Advisory Agreement without cause; or (e) the termination of the employee without cause. To the extent the Bonus Retention Fund is not fully paid out to employees as set forth above, the Advisory Agreement provides that the residual amount will be deemed additional Deferred Asset Management Fees (defined below) and be treated in accordance with the provisions for payment of Deferred Asset Management Fees. Two of the Company’s executive officers, Jeff Waldvogel and Stacie Yamane, and one of the Company’s directors, Marc DeLuca, participate in and have been allocated awards under the Advisor’s employee retention program, which awards would only be paid as set forth above. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had deposited $8.5 million of restricted cash into the Bonus Retention Fund and the Company had not made any payments to the Advisor from the Bonus Retention Fund.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

Prior to amending the Advisory Agreement in November 2022, the prior advisory agreement had provided that with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, the Advisor would defer, without interest, the Company’s obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by the Company, excluding asset management fees, did not exceed the amount of distributions declared by the Company for record dates of that month. The Company remained obligated to pay the Advisor an asset management fee in any month in which the Company’s MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeded the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus was deferred under the prior advisory agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeded the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus was applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the prior advisory agreement.

Pursuant to the current Advisory Agreement, asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022 are no longer subject to the deferral provision described above. Asset management fees that remained deferred as of September 30, 2022 are “Deferred Asset Management Fees.” As of September 30, 2022, Deferred Asset Management Fees totaled $8.5 million and the Company had not made any payments to the Advisor related to the Deferred Asset Management Fees for the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Company remains obligated to pay the Advisor outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in any month to the extent that MFFO for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, a “RMFFO Surplus”); provided however, that any amount of outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in excess of the RMFFO Surplus will continue to be deferred.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $18.6 million and $17.0 million of asset management fees, respectively, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and $8.5 million were related to asset management fees that were restricted for payment and deposited in the Bonus Retention Fund as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Consistent with the prior advisory agreement, the current Advisory Agreement provides that notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as the Company’s stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the Company’s stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for the Advisor to receive Deferred Asset Management Fees.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

In addition, the current Advisory Agreement provides that any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will also be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of:

(i) a listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange;

(ii) the Company’s liquidation and dissolution;

(iii) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of the Company in which (y) the Company is not the surviving entity and (z) the Advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; and

(iv) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Advisory Agreement has a term expiring on September 27, 2025 but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Company and the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated (i) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty by either the Company (acting through the conflicts committee) or the Advisor or (ii) immediately by the Company for cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated without cause, then the Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Company any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees, provided that upon such non-renewal or termination the Company does not retain an advisor in which the Advisor or its affiliates have a majority interest. Upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, all unpaid Deferred Asset Management Fees will automatically be forfeited by the Advisor, and if the Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause, any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees will also automatically be forfeited by the Advisor.

Lease to Affiliate

On May 29, 2015, the indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Lessor”) of the Company that owns 3003 Washington Boulevard entered into a lease with an affiliate of the Advisor (the “Lessee”) for 5,046 rentable square feet, or approximately 2.4% of the total rentable square feet, at 3003 Washington Boulevard. The lease commenced on October 1, 2015 and was amended on March 14, 2019 (the “Amended Lease”) to extend the lease period commencing on September 1, 2019 and terminating on August 31, 2024 and set the annual base rent during the extension period. The annualized base rent from the commencement of the Amended Lease is approximately $0.3 million, and the average annual rental rate (net of rental abatements) over the term of the Amended Lease through its termination is $62.55 per square foot.

On August 12, 2024, the Lessor entered into a Second Amendment to Deed of Office Lease with the Lessee to extend the lease period commencing on September 1, 2024 and expiring on November 30, 2029, unless terminated earlier in accordance with certain terms and conditions contained therein (the “ Second Amended Lease”), and set the annual base rent during the extension period. The annualized base rent for the Second Amended Lease is approximately $0.3 million, and the average annual rental rate (net of rental abatements) over the term of the Second Amended Lease is $53.75 per square foot.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $78,000 and $244,000 of revenue related to this lease, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $83,000 and $248,000 of revenue related to this lease, respectively.

Prior to their approval of the lease, the Amended Lease and the Second Amended Lease, the Company’s conflicts committee and board of directors determined the lease to be fair and reasonable to the Company.

Portfolio Sale

On July 18, 2019, the Company sold the Singapore Portfolio to the SREIT, which is affiliated with Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., a director and executive officer of the Company. See Note 7, “Real Estate Equity Securities” for information related to the Company’s investment in the SREIT. The SREIT is externally managed by an entity (the “Manager”) in which Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. currently holds an indirect ownership interest. Mr. Schreiber is also a former director of the Manager. The SREIT pays the Manager an annual base fee of 10% of annual distributable income and an annual performance fee of 25% of the increase in distributions per unit of the SREIT from the preceding year. For acquisitions other than the Singapore Portfolio, the SREIT pays the Manager an acquisition fee of 1% of the acquisition price. The SREIT will also pay the Manager a divestment fee of 0.5% of the sale price of any real estate sold and a development management fee of 3% of the total project costs incurred for development projects. A portion of the fees paid to the Manager are paid to KBS Realty Advisors LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Schreiber, for sub-advisory services. The Schreiber Trust, a trust whose beneficiaries are Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. and his family members, and the Linda Bren 2017 Trust also acquired units in the SREIT. The Schreiber Trust agreed it will not sell any portion of its units in the SREIT unless it has received the consent of the Company’s conflicts committee. The Linda Bren 2017 Trust has agreed it will not sell $5.0 million of its investment in the SREIT unless it has received the consent of the Company’s conflicts committee.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and KBS REIT II, KBS Growth & Income REIT, the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or other KBS-affiliated entities.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide the respective services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of September 30, 2024.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of Preston Commons

On June 19, 2013, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired three office buildings containing 427,799 rentable square feet located on approximately 6.3 acres of land in Dallas, Texas (“Preston Commons”). On October 9, 2024, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement and escrow instructions (the “Preston Commons Agreement”) for the sale of Preston Commons to a purchaser unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Preston Commons Agreement, the sale price for Preston Commons is $151.0 million, subject to prorations and adjustments as provided in the Preston Commons Agreement.

The closing date is expected to occur on or before November 25, 2024. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the sale of Preston Commons. The Purchaser would be obligated to purchase Preston Commons only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions. In some circumstances, if the Purchaser fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to $3.0 million of earnest money.

Sixth Modification of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility

On October 11, 2024, the Company, through the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers, entered into a sixth loan modification and extension agreement with the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders (the “Sixth Extension Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sixth Extension Agreement, the maturity date of the facility was extended to November 20, 2024. The Sixth Extension Agreement requires the Company to satisfy certain conditions, some of which conditions are not in the sole control of the Company, including the Company taking identified actions relating to its portfolio. The failure of the Company to satisfy certain of these conditions will result in an immediate event of default under the loan documents.

The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility was approximately $601.3 million as of October 11, 2024.

The Sixth Extension Agreement waived certain milestones initially included in the Fourth and Fifth Extension Agreements, including the requirement for the Company to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both.

Under the Sixth Extension Agreement, the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders waived the requirement for the Portfolio Loan Properties to satisfy the minimum required ongoing debt service coverage ratio through the then current maturity date under the loan documents and waived the requirement for REIT Properties III, as guarantor, to satisfy a net worth covenant through the then current maturity date under the loan documents.

Pursuant to the Sixth Extension Agreement, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers also agreed (a) to pay the Portfolio Loan Lenders a non-refundable fee in the amount of $250,000, and (b) to pay the Agent certain costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the Sixth Extension Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Sixth Extension Agreement, the Portfolio Loan Lenders agreed to modify the timing of the payment of the exit fee in the amount of $1.0 million due to the Portfolio Loan Lenders to the earliest to occur of the maturity date, the occurrence of certain triggering events under the loan documents and the repayment of the loan in full.

Amendment to the Advisory Agreement

As required by the Sixth Extension Agreement, on October 11, 2024, the Company and the Advisor entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement to reduce and defer until December 1, 2025 certain transaction-based compensation in an amount of approximately $0.5 million that may be payable to the Advisor.

Third Modification of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan

On November 2, 2020, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Accenture Tower Borrower”), entered into a loan facility with U.S. Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), joint lead arranger and co-book runner; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, joint lead arranger and co-book runner; and each of the financial institutions signatory thereto as lenders (as amended and modified, the “Accenture Tower Revolving Loan”). The current lenders under the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan are U.S. Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG and the National Bank of Kuwait S.A.K.P. Grand Caymans Branch (the “Accenture Tower Lenders”). The Accenture Tower Revolving Loan is secured by Accenture Tower.

On November 1, 2024, the Company, through the Accenture Tower Borrower, entered into a third modification agreement with the Accenture Tower Lenders (the “Third Modification Agreement”) to (i) extend the maturity date of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan to December 10, 2024 and (ii) remove any prior right of the Accenture Tower Borrower to exercise an additional 12-month extension option. Under the Third Modification Agreement, the Agent and the Accenture Tower Lenders waived the requirement for REIT Properties III as guarantor to satisfy the net worth covenant, the leverage ratio covenant and the EBITDA to fixed charges ratio covenant for all periods following November 1, 2024 through the extended maturity date of December 10, 2024. As of November 1, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan was $306.0 million, which consisted of $229.5 million of term debt and $76.5 million of revolving debt.

Fourth Modification of Credit Facility

On November 5, 2024, REIT Properties III entered into the fourth modification of the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement”) with the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders.

The Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement amends the maturity date of the loan to the earliest to occur of (i) November 15, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the aggregate commitment under the facility is reduced to zero or is otherwise terminated. Pursuant to the Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement, the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders waived the requirement for REIT Properties III to comply with the maximum leverage ratio, minimum consolidated net worth requirement, minimum fixed charges coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirement from December 31, 2023 through and including the current maturity date.

Fifth Modification and Extension of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan

On November 6, 2024, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers and REIT Properties III entered into the fifth modification and extension agreement of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan with the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender (the “3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification”). Pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan to May 6, 2026. Additionally, pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification, effective November 6, 2024, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 290 basis points plus a SOFR margin adjustment of 10 basis points and monthly payments are interest only. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan was approximately $138.8 million as of November 6, 2024.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification requires that 100% of excess cash flow from 3001 Washington Boulevard and 3003 Washington Boulevard be deposited monthly into a cash collateral account (the “3001 & 3003 Washington Cash Sweep Collateral Account”). Funds may not be withdrawn from the 3001 & 3003 Washington Cash Sweep Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender. The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification provides that, subject to the requirements contained therein, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers will be permitted to withdraw funds from the 3001 & 3003 Washington Cash Sweep Collateral Account to pay or reimburse the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers for approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements and for operating shortfalls related to the Washington Properties to the extent they occur in any month. Additionally, to the extent the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers do not meet certain conditions, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender has the right to withdraw funds from the 3001 & 3003 Washington Cash Sweep Collateral Account and apply such funds to any due and payable obligations of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers.

The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification provides that on or prior to November 15, 2024 (unless extended by the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender), the Company will cause certain of the equity interests of the Company’s subsidiaries that own the Carillon property to be pledged to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender as security for all of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers’ obligations under the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan and the failure to do so constitutes an immediate default under the loan documents. Further, in the event of the sale of the Carillon property, certain excess proceeds from such sale must be used to repay the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan.

The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification also provides that, among other conditions, if elected by the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender, a default will occur under the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan if (i) an event of default occurs under the Carillon Mortgage Loan or (ii) a written demand for payment following a default is delivered to REIT Properties III under the terms of any indebtedness of REIT Properties III, where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million.

Pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification, a loan fee of $0.4 million is owed to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender, which loan fee is deferred and will be due upon the earliest to occur of the maturity date and the repayment of the loan in full. Additionally, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers agreed to pay the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender an exit fee in the amount of $1.0 million, which is due on the earliest to occur of the maturity date and the repayment of the loan in full, provided that the exit fee is automatically waived if the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers repay the loan on or before December 15, 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership III, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. These include statements about our plans, strategies and prospects and these statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the continued disruptions in the financial markets impacting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

•The ongoing challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings, continues to be one of the most significant risks and uncertainties we face. The combination of high interest rates and persistent inflation (or the perception that any of these events may continue), as well as a lack of lending activity in the debt markets, have contributed to considerable weakness in the commercial real estate markets. The usage and leasing activity of our assets in several markets remains lower than pre-pandemic levels in those markets. Upcoming and recent tenant lease expirations and leasing challenges in certain markets amidst the aforementioned headwinds coupled with slower than expected return-to-office, most notably in the greater San Francisco Bay Area where we own several assets, have had direct and material impacts to property appraisal values used by our lenders and have impacted our ability to access certain credit facilities and our ongoing cash flow.

•As of November 14, 2024, we have $1.0 billion of loan maturities in the next 12 months. Considering the current commercial real estate lending environment, this raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of the issuance of our financial statements. In order to refinance, restructure or extend our maturing debt obligations, we have been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and we may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. As a result of reductions in loan commitments and paydowns and the ongoing liquidity needs in our real estate portfolio, we may consider selling assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage our liquidity needs. Selling real estate assets in the current market would likely adversely impact the ultimate sale price. In addition, we continue to evaluate raising capital through the issuance of new equity or debt. We may also defer noncontractual expenditures. Moreover, our loan agreements contain cross default provisions, including that the failure of one or more of our subsidiaries to pay debt as it matures under one debt facility may trigger the acceleration of our indebtedness under other debt facilities. If we are unable to successfully refinance or restructure certain of our debt instruments, we may seek the protection of the bankruptcy court to implement a restructuring plan, which would constitute an event of default under other indebtedness of our subsidiaries. As a result of our upcoming loan maturities, reductions in loan commitments and loan paydowns, the challenging commercial real estate lending environment, the current interest rate environment, leasing challenges in certain markets where we own properties, reduction in our cash flows due to elevated interest rates and the lack of transaction volume in the U.S. office market as well as general market instability, management’s plans cannot be considered probable and thus do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

•We have entered into loan modification and extension agreements with the lenders under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Facility, the outstanding principal balance of which is approximately $601.3 million. The extension agreements require us to satisfy certain conditions, some of which conditions are not in our sole control, including our taking identified actions relating to our portfolio. Our failure to satisfy certain of these conditions will result in an immediate event of default under the loan documents.

•Continued disruptions in the financial markets and economic uncertainty impacting the U.S. commercial real estate industry could further impact our ability to implement our business strategy and continue as a going concern. Overall, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the current disruptions in the markets may have on our business. Potential long-term changes in customer behavior, such as continued work-from-home arrangements, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space, further adversely impacting our operations.

•We are unable to predict when or if we will be in a position to pay distributions to our stockholders. Due to certain restrictions and covenants included in one of our loan agreements, we do not expect to pay any dividends or distributions on our common stock during the term of the loan agreement, which matures on March 1, 2026. We have not declared any distributions since June 2023. If and when we pay distributions, we may fund distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. We have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.

•Stockholders may have to hold their shares an indefinite period of time. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to provide additional liquidity to stockholders. Due to certain restrictions and covenants included in one of our loan agreements, we do not expect to redeem any shares of our common stock during the term of the loan agreement, which matures on March 1, 2026. As a result, we terminated our share redemption program on March 15, 2024.

•Our charter does not require us to liquidate our assets and dissolve by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading by a specified date. No public market currently exists for our shares of common stock. There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares. Our shares cannot be readily sold and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares, they would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.

•We are dependent on KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”), our advisor, to conduct our operations.

•All of our executive officers, our affiliated directors and other key professionals are also officers, affiliated directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor and/or its affiliates. These individuals, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including conflicts created by our advisor’s and its affiliates’ compensation arrangements with us and other programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in action or inaction that is not in the best interests of our stakeholders.

•Our advisor and its affiliates currently receive fees in connection with transactions involving the management and disposition of our investments. Asset management fees are based on the cost of the investment, and not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. Although most of the fees payable during our listing/liquidation stage are contingent on our stockholders first enjoying agreed-upon investment returns, the investment return thresholds may be reduced subject to approval by our conflicts committee and our charter limitations. These payments increase the risk of loss to our stakeholders.

•We may incur debt until our total liabilities would exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. High debt levels would impact our net revenues and could cause our financial condition to suffer.

•We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by our real estate investments. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases), rent deferrals or abatements, tenants becoming unable to pay their rent, lower rental rates and/or potential changes in customer behavior, such as continued work from home arrangements, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and causing our operations to suffer.

•Our significant investment in the equity securities of Prime US REIT (the “SREIT”), a traded Singapore real estate investment trust, is subject to the risks associated with real estate investments as well as the risks inherent in investing in traded securities, including, in this instance, risks related to the quantity of units held by us relative to the trading volume of the units. Due to the disruptions in the financial markets, the trading price of the common units of the SREIT has experienced substantial volatility and has been significantly impacted by the market sentiment for stock with significant investment in U.S. office buildings.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview

We were formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by our advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement and our advisor conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments. Our advisor owns 20,857 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.

We have invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. As of September 30, 2024, we owned 14 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of the SREIT.

On February 4, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of up to 280,000,000 shares, or up to $2,760,000,000 of shares, of common stock for sale to the public, of which up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, were registered in our primary offering and up to 80,000,000 shares, or up to $760,000,000 of shares, were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on May 29, 2015 and terminated the primary offering on July 28, 2015.

We sold 169,006,162 shares of common stock in our now-terminated primary initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.7 billion. We sold 46,154,757 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $471.3 million. We have redeemed or repurchased 74,644,349 shares for $789.2 million. On March 15, 2024, we terminated our dividend reinvestment plan and our share redemption program.

Additionally, on October 3, 2014, we issued 258,462 shares of common stock, for $2.4 million, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Section 5.11 of our charter requires that we seek stockholder approval of our liquidation if our shares of common stock are not listed on a national securities exchange by September 30, 2020, unless a majority of the conflicts committee of our board of directors, composed solely of all of our independent directors, determines that liquidation is not then in the best interest of our stockholders. Pursuant to our charter requirement, the conflicts committee considered the ongoing challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office properties, the challenging interest rate environment and lack of activity in the debt markets, the limited availability in the debt markets for commercial real estate transactions in the office sector, and the lack of transaction volume in the U.S. office market for assets similar in size to those of ours, and on August 12, 2024, our conflicts committee unanimously determined to postpone approval of our liquidation. Section 5.11 of our charter requires that the conflicts committee revisit the issue of liquidation at least annually.

Going Concern Considerations

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and condensed notes in this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The ongoing challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings, continues to be one of the most significant risks and uncertainties we face. The combination of high interest rates and persistent inflation (or the perception that any of these events may continue), as well as a lack of lending activity in the debt markets, have contributed to considerable weakness in the commercial real estate markets. The usage and leasing activity of our assets in several markets remains lower than pre-pandemic levels, and we cannot predict when economic activity and demand for office space will return to pre-pandemic levels in those markets. Both upcoming and recent tenant lease expirations and leasing challenges in certain markets amidst the aforementioned headwinds coupled with slower than expected return-to-office, most notably in the greater San Francisco Bay Area where we own several assets, have had direct and material impacts to property appraisal values used by our lenders and have impacted our ability to access certain credit facilities and our ongoing cash flow, which, in large part, provide liquidity for capital expenditures needed to manage our real estate assets.

Due to disruptions in the financial markets, it is difficult to refinance maturing debt obligations as lenders are hesitant to make new loans in the current market environment with so many uncertainties surrounding asset valuations, especially in the office real estate market. As of November 14, 2024, we have $1.0 billion of loan maturities in the next 12 months. Considering the current commercial real estate lending environment, this raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of the issuance of our financial statements.

On February 12, 2024, after running an interview process with several investment banks, we engaged Moelis & Company LLC, a global investment bank with expertise in real estate, capital raising and restructuring, to assist us in developing, evaluating and pursuing a comprehensive plan to maximize the value of our assets in a manner that would be beneficial to all of our stakeholders.

We are proactively and productively engaged in discussions with our lenders for the modification and extension of our maturing debt obligations, including the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility with an outstanding principal balance of $601.3 million as of November 14, 2024. We have entered into short-term extension and modification agreements for this facility, which has a current maturity date of November 20, 2024. The extension and modification agreements require us to satisfy certain conditions, certain of which are not in our sole control, including our taking identified actions relating to our portfolio. Our failure to satisfy certain of these conditions will result in an immediate event of default under the loan documents. The extension and modification agreements also provide a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment is delivered to KBS REIT Properties III LLC, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, by U.S. Bank, National Association following a default under the following loans (a) our Credit Facility, (b) the payment guaranty agreement of our Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility or (c) any other indebtedness of KBS REIT Properties III LLC where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million. In addition, the loan modification and extension agreements provide a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment following a default is delivered to KBS REIT Properties III LLC by the lenders under our Almaden Mortgage Loan or our Park Place Village Mortgage Loan, in each case where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million.

In order to refinance, restructure or extend our maturing debt obligations, we have been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and we may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. As a result of reductions in loan commitments and paydowns and the ongoing liquidity needs in our real estate portfolio, we may consider selling assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage our liquidity needs. Selling real estate assets in the current market would likely adversely impact the ultimate sale price. In addition, we continue to evaluate raising capital through the issuance of new equity or debt. We may also defer noncontractual expenditures.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

There can be no assurances as to the certainty or timing of management’s plans in regards to the matters above, as certain elements of management’s plans are outside our control, including our ability to successfully refinance, restructure or extend certain of our debt instruments, our ability to sell assets and our ability to raise new equity or debt. Moreover, our loan agreements contain cross default provisions, including that the failure of one or more of our subsidiaries to pay debt as it matures under one debt facility may trigger the acceleration of our indebtedness under other debt facilities. If we are unable to successfully refinance or restructure certain of our debt instruments, we may seek the protection of the bankruptcy court to implement a restructuring plan, which would constitute an event of default under other indebtedness of our subsidiaries. As a result of our upcoming loan maturities, reductions in loan commitments and loan paydowns, the challenging commercial real estate lending environment, the current interest rate environment, leasing challenges in certain markets where we own properties, reduction in our cash flows due to elevated interest rates and the lack of transaction volume in the U.S. office market as well as general market instability, management’s plans cannot be considered probable and thus do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Continued disruptions in the financial markets and economic uncertainty impacting the U.S. commercial real estate industry could further impact our ability to implement our business strategy and continue as a going concern. Overall, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the current disruptions in the markets may have on our business. Potential long-term changes in customer behavior, such as continued work-from-home arrangements, which increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space, further adversely impacting our operations.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space, increased rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. Further, revenues from our properties have decreased and could continue to decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases), increased rent deferrals or abatements, tenants being unable to pay their rent and/or lower rental rates. Increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates and higher market interest rate spreads has prevented us from refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of the debt we are refinancing and we expect this to continue with upcoming loan maturities. Further, increases in interest rates increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not fixed through interest rate swap agreements or limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. The current challenging interest rate environment and lack of financing available in the current environment have had a downward impact on real estate values, especially for commercial office buildings, and these factors have significantly impacted the amount of transaction activity in the commercial real estate market and made valuing such assets increasingly difficult. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure in this challenging environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As described above under “—Going Concern Considerations,” our management determined that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of the issuance of our financial statements. Our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for payments (including maturity payments) under debt obligations and operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses. As discussed below, due to certain restrictions and covenants on distributions and redemptions included in one of our loan agreements, we do not expect to pay any dividends or distributions or redeem any shares of our common stock during the term of the loan agreement, which matures on March 1, 2026. Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements are as follows:

•Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments;

•Debt financings (including any amounts currently available under existing loan facilities); and

•Proceeds from the sale of our real estate properties and real estate-related investments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate properties is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. Due to uncertainties in the U.S. office real estate market, most notably in the greater San Francisco Bay Area where we own certain assets, our cash flows have been and we anticipate that our future cash flows from operations may be impacted due to lease rollover and reduced demand for office space.

We have also made a significant investment in the common units of the SREIT. Our investment in the equity securities of the SREIT generates cash flow in the form of dividend income, and dividends are typically declared and paid on a semi-annual basis, though dividends are not guaranteed. As of September 30, 2024, we held 237,426,088 units of the SREIT which represented 18.2% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date. Due to the disruptions in the financial markets discussed above, since early March 2020, the trading price of the common units of the SREIT has experienced substantial volatility. The trading price of the common units of the SREIT has been significantly impacted by the market sentiment for stock with significant investment in U.S. commercial office buildings. As of November 14, 2024, the aggregate value of our investment in the units of the SREIT was $36.6 million, which was based solely on the closing price of the units on the SGX-ST of $0.154 per unit as of November 14, 2024, and did not take into account any potential discount for the holding period risk due to the quantity of units we hold. This is a decrease of $0.726 per unit from our initial acquisition of SREIT units at $0.880 per unit on July 19, 2019.

As of September 30, 2024, we had mortgage debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion, with a weighted-average remaining term of 0.5 years. As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.2 billion of notes payable maturing during the 12 months ending September 30, 2025. Considering the current commercial real estate lending environment, this raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, our debt obligations consisted of $118.8 million of fixed rate notes payable and $1.5 billion of variable rate notes payable. As of September 30, 2024, the interest rates on $1.1 billion of our variable rate notes payable were effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements.

We are proactively and productively engaged in discussions with our lenders for the modification and extension of our maturing debt obligations, including the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility with an outstanding principal balance of $601.3 million as of November 14, 2024. We have entered into short-term extension and modification agreements for this facility, which has a current maturity date of November 20, 2024. The extension and modification agreements require us to satisfy certain conditions, some of which conditions are not in our sole control, including our taking identified actions relating to our portfolio. Our failure to satisfy certain of these conditions will result in an immediate event of default under the loan documents. The extension and modification agreements also provide a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment is delivered to KBS REIT Properties III LLC, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, by U.S. Bank, National Association following a default under the following loans (a) our Credit Facility, (b) the payment guaranty agreement of our Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility or (c) any other indebtedness of KBS REIT Properties III LLC where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million. In addition, the loan modification and extension agreements provide a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment following a default is delivered to KBS REIT Properties III LLC by the lenders under our Almaden Mortgage Loan or our Park Place Village Mortgage Loan, in each case where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

In addition, four of our debt facilities (representing $1.1 billion of our borrowings and 12 of our properties as of November 14, 2024) are subject to cash sweep arrangements, whereby each month the excess cash flow from the properties securing the loan is deposited into a cash management account held for the benefit of our lenders. Generally, excess cash flow means an amount equal to (a) gross revenues from the properties securing the facility less (b) an amount equal to principal and interest paid with respect to the associated debt facility, operating expenses of the properties securing the facility and in certain cases a limited amount of REIT-level expenses. In certain cases, we may request disbursements from the cash management accounts. However, such cash management accounts decrease our operating flexibility.

As a result of the current interest rate environment, the recent extensions and refinancings of certain of our loans have reduced our available liquidity and we anticipate that future loan refinancings may further impact our liquidity position due to potential required loan paydowns at extension and increased interest rate spreads. Additionally, we have entered into various interest rate swap agreements that are currently below market and as those swaps expire, our interest expense will increase and further impact our liquidity position and ongoing cash flows.

We expect that our debt financing and other liabilities will be between 45% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves). There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for the purchase of any single asset. We limit our total liabilities to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), meaning that our borrowings and other liabilities may exceed our maximum target leverage of 65% of the cost of our tangible assets without violating these borrowing restrictions. We may exceed the 75% limit only if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of this limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. To the extent financing in excess of this limit is available on attractive terms, our conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. From time to time, our total liabilities could also be below 45% of the cost of our tangible assets due to the lack of availability of debt financing. As of September 30, 2024, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 57% of the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) and 60% of the book value (before deducting depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively. This leverage limitation is based on cost and not fair value, and our leverage may exceed 75% of the fair value of our tangible assets.

We have not declared any distributions since June 2023. We have experienced a reduction in our net cash flows from operations in recent periods primarily due to higher interest expense and a decrease in dividend income received from the SREIT. We are unable to predict when or if we will be in a position to pay distributions to our stockholders. Due to certain restrictions and covenants included in one of our loan agreements, we do not expect to pay any dividends or distributions on our common stock during the term of the loan agreement, which matures on March 1, 2026. As a result, on March 15, 2024, we terminated our dividend reinvestment plan. See “—Going Concern Considerations” and “—Market Outlook—Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” herein and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities – Distribution Information” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC.

We did not redeem any shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Due to certain restrictions and covenants included in one of our loan agreements, we do not expect to redeem any shares of our common stock during the term of the loan agreement, which matures on March 1, 2026. As a result, we terminated our share redemption program on March 15, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2024 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million and $37.2 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily as a result of higher interest expense, a decrease in dividend income received from the SREIT, the sale of a real estate property in February 2024, an increase in legal fees and financial and advisory consulting fees related to our development and pursuit of our debt restructuring plan and capital raising efforts, and the timing of payments and cash receipts, offset by $6.6 million of interest rate swap settlement proceeds received in 2024 for early terminated swaps.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to $46.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of the McEwen Building, offset by $28.6 million used in improvements to real estate.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $30.0 million and primarily consisted of the following:

•$28.1 million of net cash used in debt financing as a result of principal payments on notes payable of $56.3 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $5.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from notes payable of $33.9 million; and

•$1.9 million of restricted cash surrendered in connection with the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction related to 201 Spear Street.

We also expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We currently make payments to our advisor in connection with the management of our investments and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. We also pay fees to our advisor in connection with the disposition of investments. We reimburse our advisor and dealer manager for certain stockholder services. In addition, our advisor is entitled to an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals.

Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excludes acquisition fees paid to our advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment (but excluding acquisition fees paid to our advisor). With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid to our advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid to our advisor), as of the time of calculation. We currently do not pay asset management fees to our advisor on our investment in units of the SREIT.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on November 8, 2022, we and our advisor amended the advisory agreement and commencing with asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022, we paid $1.15 million of the monthly asset management fee to our advisor in cash and we deposited the remainder of the monthly asset management fee into an interest bearing account in our name, which amounts will be paid to our advisor from such account solely as reimbursement for payments made by our advisor pursuant to our advisor’s employee retention program (such account, the “Bonus Retention Fund”). The Bonus Retention Fund was established in order to incentivize and retain key employees of our advisor. The Bonus Retention Fund was fully funded in December 2023, when we had deposited $8.5 million in cash into such account. Following such time the monthly asset management fee became fully payable in cash to our advisor. Our advisor has acknowledged and agreed that payments by our advisor to employees under our advisor’s employee retention program that are reimbursed by us from the Bonus Retention Fund will be conditioned on (a) our liquidation and dissolution; (b) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of us in which (i) we are not the surviving entity and (ii) our advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; (c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; (d) the non-renewal or termination of the advisory agreement without cause; or (e) the termination of the employee without cause. To the extent the Bonus Retention Fund is not fully paid out to employees as set forth above, the advisory agreement provides that the residual amount will be deemed additional Deferred Asset Management Fees (defined below) and be treated in accordance with the provisions for payment of Deferred Asset Management Fees. Two of our executive officers, Mr. Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane, and one of our directors, Mr. DeLuca, participate in and have been allocated awards under our advisor’s employee retention program, which awards would only be paid as set forth above.

Prior to amending the advisory agreement in November 2022, the prior advisory agreement had provided that with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, our advisor would defer, without interest, our obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by us, excluding asset management fees, did not exceed the amount of distributions declared by us for record dates of that month. We remained obligated to pay our advisor an asset management fee in any month in which our MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeded the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus was deferred under the prior advisory agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeded the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus was applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the prior advisory agreement.

Pursuant to the current advisory agreement, asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022 are no longer subject to the deferral provision described above. Asset management fees that remained deferred as of September 30, 2022 are “Deferred Asset Management Fees.” As of September 30, 2022, Deferred Asset Management Fees totaled $8.5 million. The advisory agreement also provides that we remain obligated to pay our advisor outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in any month to the extent that MFFO for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, a “RMFFO Surplus”); provided however, that any amount of outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in excess of the RMFFO Surplus will continue to be deferred. We have not made any payments to our advisor related to the Deferred Asset Management Fees for the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.

Consistent with the prior advisory agreement, the current advisory agreement provides that notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as our stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to our share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of our stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for our advisor to receive Deferred Asset Management Fees.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

In addition, the current advisory agreement provides that any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will also be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of:

(i) a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange;

(ii) our liquidation and dissolution;

(iii) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of us in which (y) we are not the surviving entity and (z) our advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; and

(iv) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

The advisory agreement may be terminated (i) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty by either us (acting through the conflicts committee) or our advisor or (ii) immediately by us for cause or upon the bankruptcy of our advisor. If the advisory agreement is terminated without cause, then our advisor will be entitled to receive from us any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees, provided that upon such non-renewal or termination we do not retain an advisor in which our advisor or its affiliates have a majority interest. Upon termination of the advisory agreement, all unpaid Deferred Asset Management Fees will automatically be forfeited by our advisor, and if the advisory agreement is terminated for cause, any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees will also automatically be forfeited by our advisor.

As of September 30, 2024, we had accrued $18.6 million of asset management fees, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees. Also, included in accrued asset management fees as of September 30, 2024 is $8.5 million of restricted cash deposited into the Bonus Retention Fund. We had not made any payments to our advisor from the Bonus Retention Fund as of September 30, 2024.

Debt Obligations

The following is a summary of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


			Payments Due During the Years Ended December 31,
Debt Obligations	Total		Remainder of 2024		2025-2026		2027-2028		Thereafter
Outstanding debt obligations (1)	$	1,591,211	$	1,110,717	$	480,494	$	—	$	—
Interest payments on outstanding debt obligations (2)	55,253		16,920		38,333		—		—
Interest payments on interest rate swaps (3) (4)	—		—		—		—		—

_____________________

(1) Amounts include principal payments only based on maturity dates as of September 30, 2024. The maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond their current maturity dates; however, the extension options are subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents some of which are more stringent than our current loan compliance tests. In order to refinance, restructure or extend our maturing debt obligations, we have been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and we may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. See the above discussion under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “—Going Concern Considerations.”

(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates and interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2024 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2024, where applicable). We incurred interest expense related to notes payable of $89.9 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $7.8 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We have continued to have discussions with our lenders regarding potential modifications to certain debt obligations, including the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, the Credit Facility and the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan. Given the challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry and the challenging interest rate environment, in order to refinance or extend loans, we expect lenders to demand higher interest rate spreads compared to the existing terms in our current loan agreements as was the case with the modification of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and modification of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan executed subsequent to September 30, 2024.

(3) Projected interest payments on interest rate swaps are calculated based on the notional amount, effective term of the swap contract, and fixed rate net of the swapped floating rate in effect as of September 30, 2024. In the case where the swapped floating rate (Fallback SOFR or one-month Term SOFR) at September 30, 2024 is higher than the fixed rate in the swap agreement, interest payments on interest rate swaps in the above debt obligations table would reflect zero as we would not be obligated to make any interest payments on those swaps and instead expect to receive payments from our swap counter-parties.

(4) We recognized net realized gains related to interest rate swaps of $19.7 million, excluding unrealized loss on derivative instruments of $13.7 million and gains related to swap terminations of $0.2 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Results of Operations

Overview

As of September 30, 2023, we owned 16 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of the SREIT. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we disposed of one office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction and sold one office property. As a result, as of September 30, 2024, we owned 14 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of the SREIT. Therefore, the results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not directly comparable. The following table provides summary information about our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to the dispositions of properties after July 1, 2023.

(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to real estate investments owned by us throughout both periods presented.

Rental income from our real estate properties decreased from $69.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $63.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to lease expirations at a property held throughout both periods, the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. We expect rental income to decrease in future periods as a result of the disposition of these two properties and to the extent we dispose of additional properties, to vary based on occupancy rates and rental rates of our real estate investments and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets and to increase due to tenant reimbursements related to operating expenses to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office. See “—Going Concern Considerations,” “—Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Dividend income from our real estate equity securities decreased from $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a decrease in the dividend rate per unit declared by the SREIT. We expect dividend income from our real estate equity securities to vary in future periods based on the occupancy and rental rates of the SREIT’s portfolio, movements in interest rates and the underlying liquidity needs of the SREIT.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Other operating income decreased slightly from $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by an increase in parking revenues at properties held throughout both periods as employees return to the office. We expect other operating income to vary in future periods based on occupancy rates and parking rates at our real estate properties and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Operating, maintenance and management costs decreased from $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by an overall increase in repairs and maintenance costs as a result of general inflation and an increase in physical occupancy at properties held throughout both periods. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to increase in future periods as a result of general inflation and to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Real estate taxes and insurance increased slightly from $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the increased assessed property value of a real estate property held throughout both periods, offset by the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to vary based on future property tax reassessments for properties that we continue to own and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Asset management fees with respect to our real estate investments decreased from $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of any improvements we make to our properties and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. As of September 30, 2024, there were $18.6 million of accrued asset management fees, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees and $8.5 million were related to asset management fees that were restricted for payment and deposited in the Bonus Retention Fund. For a discussion of Deferred Asset Management Fees and the Bonus Retention Fund, see “– Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein.

General and administrative expenses increased from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to legal fees and financial and advisory consulting fees related to our development and pursuit of our debt restructuring plan and capital raising efforts. General and administrative costs consisted primarily of portfolio legal fees, board of directors fees, third party transfer agent fees, financial and advisory consulting fees and audit costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain elevated in the future due to higher portfolio legal fees and consulting fees we expect to incur in 2024.

Depreciation and amortization decreased from $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of additional capital improvements, offset by a decrease in amortization related to fully amortized tenant origination and absorption costs and to the extent we dispose of properties.

Interest expense increased from $31.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Included in interest expense was (i) $30.1 million and $30.3 million of interest expense payments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and (ii) the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher one-month BSBY and one-month Term SOFR during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the impact on interest expense related to our variable rate debt, a higher fixed interest rate on the Almaden Mortgage Loan, which became effective in December 2023, additional revolver draws and recent loan modifications which have resulted in additional loan fees being amortized to interest expense in 2024, partially offset by less interest expense incurred as a result of the disposition of an office property and related forgiveness of debt in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. In general, we expect interest expense to vary based on fluctuations in interest rates (for our variable rate debt) and the amount of future borrowings or loan paydowns and to increase if interest rate spreads are higher when we refinance our existing loans.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

We recorded net loss on derivative instruments of $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Included in net loss on derivative instruments was unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $21.2 million, offset by realized gain on interest rate swaps of $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded net gain on derivative instruments of $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Included in net gain on derivative instruments was unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $3.6 million and realized gain on interest rate swaps of $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in net loss (gain) on derivative instruments was primarily due to changes in fair values with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges during the three months ended September 30, 2024. In general, we expect net gains or losses on derivative instruments to vary based on fair value changes with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges. In addition, as the remaining lives of our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges decrease, we expect the fair values of these interest rate swaps to move towards zero, decreasing the net gains or losses on derivative instruments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $6.8 million to write down the carrying value of 60 South Sixth (located in Minneapolis, Minnesota) to its estimated fair value as a result of changes in cash flow estimates which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows being lower than the net carrying value of the property. The decrease in cash flow projections was primarily due to the continued challenges in the leasing environment. We did not record any non-cash impairment charges during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an unrealized gain on real estate equity securities of $16.6 million and unrealized loss on real estate equity securities of $15.5 million, respectively, as a result of the change in the closing price of the units of the SREIT on the SGX-ST.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Rental income from our real estate properties decreased from $200.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $193.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024, the sale of a real property in February 2024 and lease expirations at a property held throughout both periods, partially offset by lease commencements and the reversal of previously reserved accounts receivable that are no longer doubtful of collection at properties held throughout both periods. We expect rental income to decrease in future periods as a result of the disposition of these two properties and to the extent we dispose of additional properties, to vary based on occupancy rates and rental rates of our real estate investments and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets and to increase due to tenant reimbursements related to operating expenses to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office. See “—Going Concern Considerations,” “—Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Dividend income from our real estate equity securities decreased from $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to a decrease in the dividend rate per unit declared by the SREIT. We expect dividend income from our real estate equity securities to vary in future periods based on the occupancy and rental rates of the SREIT’s portfolio, movements in interest rates and the underlying liquidity needs of the SREIT.

Other operating income decreased slightly from $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by an increase in parking revenues at properties held throughout both periods as employees return to the office. We expect other operating income to vary in future periods based on occupancy rates and parking rates at our real estate properties and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Operating, maintenance and management costs decreased from $55.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $53.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by an overall increase in repairs and maintenance costs and operating costs, including janitorial and utilities, as a result of general inflation and an increase in physical occupancy at properties held throughout both periods. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to increase in future periods as a result of general inflation and to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Real estate taxes and insurance decreased from $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $37.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024, the sale of a real property in February 2024 and a decrease in real estate taxes as a result of property tax refunds received and successful property tax appeals related to properties held throughout both periods, partially offset by the increased assessed property value of a real estate property held throughout both periods. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to vary based on future property tax reassessments for properties that we continue to own and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Asset management fees decreased from $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by an increase due to capital improvements at our real estate properties. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of any improvements we make to our properties and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. As of September 30, 2024, there were $18.6 million of accrued asset management fees, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees and $8.5 million were related to asset management fees that were restricted for payment and deposited in the Bonus Retention Fund. For a discussion of Deferred Asset Management Fees and the Bonus Retention Fund, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein.

General and administrative expenses increased from $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to legal fees and financial and advisory consulting fees related to our development and pursuit of our debt restructuring plan and capital raising efforts. General and administrative costs consisted primarily of portfolio legal fees, board of directors fees, third party transfer agent fees, financial and advisory consulting fees and audit costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain elevated in the future due to higher portfolio legal fees and consulting fees we expect to incur in 2024.

Depreciation and amortization decreased from $86.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $83.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the disposition of an office property in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024, partially offset by the acceleration of amortization for an early lease termination and an increase in capital improvements as a result of lease commencements at a property held throughout both periods. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of additional capital improvements, offset by a decrease in amortization related to fully amortized tenant origination and absorption costs and to the extent we dispose of properties.

Interest expense increased from $87.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $97.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Included in interest expense was (i) $84.0 million and $89.9 million of interest expense payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and (ii) the amortization of deferred financing costs of $3.1 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher one-month BSBY and one-month Term SOFR during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the impact on interest expense related to our variable rate debt, a higher fixed interest rate on the Almaden Mortgage Loan, which became effective in December 2023, additional revolver draws and recent loan modifications which have resulted in additional loan fees being amortized to interest expense in 2024, partially offset by less interest expense incurred as a result of the disposition of an office property and related forgiveness of debt in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction in January 2024 and the sale of a real property in February 2024. In general, we expect interest expense to vary based on fluctuations in interest rates (for our variable rate debt) and the amount of future borrowings or loan paydowns and to increase if interest rate spreads are higher when we refinance our existing loans.

We recorded net gain on derivative instruments of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Included in net gain on derivative instruments was (i) realized gain on interest rate swaps of $19.7 million, (ii) gains related to swap terminations of $0.2 million, and offset by (iii) unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded net gain on derivative instruments of $32.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Included in net gain on derivative instruments was (i) realized gain on interest rate swaps of $22.9 million, (ii) unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $9.3 million, and offset by (iii) fair value loss on interest rate cap of $25,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in net gain on derivative instruments was primarily due to changes in fair values with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In general, we expect net gains or losses on derivative instruments to vary based on fair value changes with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges. In addition, as the remaining lives of our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges decrease, we expect the fair values of these interest rate swaps to move towards zero, decreasing the net gains or losses on derivative instruments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $6.8 million to write down the carrying value of 60 South Sixth (located in Minneapolis, Minnesota) to its estimated fair value as a result of changes in cash flow estimates which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows being lower than the net carrying value of the property. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $45.5 million to write down the carrying value of 201 Spear Street (located in San Francisco, California) to its estimated fair value as a result of continued market uncertainty due to rising interest rates, increased vacancy rates as a result of slow return to office in San Francisco, additional projected vacancy due to anticipated tenant turnover and further declining values of comparable sales in the market, all of which impacted ongoing cash flow estimates and leasing projections, which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows being lower than the net carrying value of the property. As a result, 201 Spear Street was valued at substantially less than the outstanding mortgage debt. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the borrower under the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan (the “Spear Street Borrower”) entered into a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction with the lender of the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan (the “Spear Street Lender”). On January 9, 2024, the Spear Street Lender transferred the title of the 201 Spear Street property to a third-party buyer of the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded an unrealized loss on real estate equity securities of $7.4 million and $57.6 million, respectively, as a result of the change in the closing price of the units of the SREIT on the SGX-ST.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $56.4 million in connection with the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction related to the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan. The gain on extinguishment of debt related to the 201 Spear Street Mortgage Loan represents the difference between the carrying amount of the outstanding debt and other liabilities of approximately $128.7 million and the carrying value of the real estate property and other assets of approximately $72.3 million, at the time of the transfer of the 201 Spear Street property and other assets in satisfaction of the loan. We did not record any gain on extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the disposition of the McEwen Building in February 2024. We did not dispose of any real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), gains and losses from change in control, impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on real estate equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.

Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses MFFO as an indicator of our ongoing performance. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the IPA in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.

We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes other non-operating items included in FFO. MFFO excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures. See also “—Going Concern Considerations,” “—Market Outlook—Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

During periods of significant disposition activity, FFO and MFFO are much more limited measures of future performance as neither FFO nor MFFO reflects adjustments for the operations of properties sold or under contract to sale during the periods presented.

Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of adjustments for straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, gain from extinguishment of debt, unrealized losses (gains) on derivative instruments and gains related to swap terminations are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:

•Adjustments for straight-line rent. These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;

•Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate;

•Gain from extinguishment of debt. A gain from extinguishment of debt represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the gain from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these gains do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance;

•Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments. These adjustments include unrealized losses (gains) from mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap. The change in fair value of interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap not designated as a hedge are non-cash adjustments recognized directly in earnings and are included in interest expense. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap; and

•Gains related to swap terminations. Gains related to swap terminations represent the difference between the settlement fees received and the value of interest rate swaps terminated, which are included in net (gain) loss on derivative instruments. Although these amounts increase net income, we exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately reflect the ongoing impact of our interest rate swap agreements.

FFO and MFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO and MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2024.

Subsequent Events

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Purchase and Sale Agreement for Sale of Preston Commons

On June 19, 2013, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, acquired three office buildings containing 427,799 rentable square feet located on approximately 6.3 acres of land in Dallas, Texas (“Preston Commons”). On October 9, 2024, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a purchase and sale agreement and escrow instructions (the “Preston Commons Agreement”) for the sale of Preston Commons to a purchaser unaffiliated with us or our advisor (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Preston Commons Agreement, the sale price for Preston Commons is $151.0 million, subject to prorations and adjustments as provided in the Preston Commons Agreement.

The closing date is expected to occur on or before November 25, 2024. There can be no assurance that we will complete the sale of Preston Commons. The Purchaser would be obligated to purchase Preston Commons only after satisfaction of agreed upon closing conditions. In some circumstances, if the Purchaser fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to $3.0 million of earnest money.

Sixth Modification of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility

On October 11, 2024, we, through certain of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers”), entered into a sixth loan modification and extension agreement (the “Sixth Extension Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the current lenders under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, which are Bank of America, N.A.; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; U.S. Bank, National Association; Capital One, National Association; PNC Bank, National Association; Regions Bank; and Zions Bankcorporation, N.A., DBA California Bank & Trust (together, the “Portfolio Loan Lenders”). The Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility is secured by 60 South Sixth, Preston Commons, Sterling Plaza, Towers at Emeryville, Ten Almaden and Town Center (the “Portfolio Loan Properties”).

Pursuant to the Sixth Extension Agreement, the maturity date of the facility was extended to November 20, 2024. The Sixth Extension Agreement requires us to satisfy certain conditions, some of which conditions are not in our sole control, including our taking identified actions relating to our portfolio. The failure of us to satisfy certain of these conditions will result in an immediate event of default under the loan documents.

The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility was approximately $601.3 million as of October 11, 2024.

The Sixth Extension Agreement waived certain milestones initially included in the fourth and fifth extension agreements, including the requirement for us to raise not less than $100,000,000 in new equity, debt or a combination of both.

Under the Sixth Extension Agreement, the Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders waived the requirement for the Portfolio Loan Properties to satisfy the minimum required ongoing debt service coverage ratio through the then current maturity date under the loan documents and waived the requirement for KBS REIT Properties III LLC, as guarantor, to satisfy a net worth covenant through the then current maturity date under the loan documents.

Amendment to the Advisory Agreement

As required by the Sixth Extension Agreement, on October 11, 2024, we and our advisor entered into an amendment to the advisory agreement between the parties to reduce and defer until December 1, 2025 certain transaction-based compensation in an amount of approximately $0.5 million that may be payable to our advisor.

Third Modification of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan

On November 2, 2020, we, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Accenture Tower Borrower”), entered into a loan facility with U.S. Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), joint lead arranger and co-book runner; Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, joint lead arranger and co-book runner; and each of the financial institutions signatory thereto as lenders (as amended and modified, the “Accenture Tower Revolving Loan”). The current lenders under the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan are U.S. Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG and the National Bank of Kuwait S.A.K.P. Grand Caymans Branch (the “Accenture Tower Lenders”). The Accenture Tower Revolving Loan is secured by Accenture Tower.

On November 1, 2024, we, through the Accenture Tower Borrower, entered into a third modification agreement with the Accenture Tower Lenders (the “Third Modification Agreement”) to (i) extend the maturity date of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan to December 10, 2024 and (ii) remove any prior right of the Accenture Tower Borrower to exercise an additional 12-month extension option. Under the Third Modification Agreement, the Agent and the Accenture Tower Lenders waived the requirement for KBS REIT Properties III LLC as guarantor to satisfy the net worth covenant, the leverage ratio covenant and the EBITDA to fixed charges ratio covenant for all periods following November 1, 2024 through the extended maturity date of December 10, 2024. As of November 1, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan was $306.0 million, which consisted of $229.5 million of term debt and $76.5 million of revolving debt. We continue to work with the Accenture Tower Lenders to reach a longer-term extension of the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan, though there can be no assurance as to the certainty or timing of our plans.

Fourth Modification of Credit Facility

On November 5, 2024, KBS REIT Properties III LLC entered into the fourth modification of the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Facility Agent”). The current lenders under the Credit Facility are U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Facility Lenders”).

The Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement amends the maturity date of the loan to the earliest to occur of (i) November 15, 2024 and (ii) the date on which the aggregate commitment under the facility is reduced to zero or is otherwise terminated. Pursuant to the Credit Facility Fourth Modification Agreement, the Credit Facility Agent and Credit Facility Lenders waived the requirement for KBS REIT Properties III LLC to comply with the maximum leverage ratio, minimum consolidated net worth requirement, minimum fixed charges coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirement from December 31, 2023 through and including the current maturity date.

Fifth Modification and Extension of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan

On November 6, 2024, we, through certain of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers”) and KBS REIT Properties III LLC entered into the fifth modification and extension agreement of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan (the “3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and lender (the “3001 & 3003 Washington Lender”). Pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan to May 6, 2026. Additionally, pursuant to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification, effective November 6, 2024, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 290 basis points plus a SOFR margin adjustment of 10 basis points and monthly payments are interest only. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan was approximately $138.8 million as of November 6, 2024.

The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan Fifth Modification provides that on or prior to November 15, 2024 (unless extended by the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender), we will cause certain of the equity interests of our subsidiaries that own the Carillon property to be pledged to the 3001 & 3003 Washington Lender as security for all of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Borrowers’ obligations under the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan and the failure to do so constitutes an immediate default under the loan documents. Further, in the event of the sale of the Carillon property, certain excess proceeds from such sale must be used to repay the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund property improvements, repairs and tenant build-outs to properties, to pay for other capital needs, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide working capital. We have also funded distributions to stockholders and redemptions of common stock with borrowings. Our profitability and the value of our real estate investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by utilizing a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for other capital needs and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt, unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $119.3 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $118.8 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loan was originated as of September 30, 2024. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity (unless the property securing the debt is sold and the loan is repaid) and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. As of September 30, 2024, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $372.4 million of variable rate debt outstanding after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $1.1 billion of our variable rate debt. Based on interest rates as of September 30, 2024, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending September 30, 2025, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $3.7 million.

The interest rate and weighted-average effective interest rate of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of September 30, 2024 were 7.5% and 5.6%, respectively. The weighted-average effective interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2024 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of September 30, 2024 where applicable.

We continue to have discussions with our lenders regarding potential modifications to certain debt obligations, including the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, the Credit Facility and the Accenture Tower Revolving Loan. Given the challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry and the challenging interest rate environment, in order to refinance or extend loans, we expect lenders to demand higher interest rate spreads compared to the existing terms in our current loan agreements as was the case with the modification of the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and modification of the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan subsequent to September 30, 2024. We utilize interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, and in particular fluctuations in the variable rate, namely SOFR, but these interest rate swaps will not mitigate any risk related to higher interest rate spreads. Additionally, we have entered into various interest rate swap agreements that are currently below market and as those swaps expire, our interest expense will increase and further impact our liquidity position and ongoing cash flows. As a result, we expect interest expense and our weighted-average effective interest rate to increase in the future as a result of recent extensions and as we continue to refinance our maturing debt. For a discussion of the interest rate risks related to the current capital and credit markets, see Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)

We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our investment in the SREIT (SGX-ST Ticker: OXMU). Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our investment’s security price. Our exposure to changes in security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from our carrying value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. The SREIT’s units were first listed for trading on the SGX-ST on July 19, 2019. If an active trading market for the units does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult to sell our units. The market for Singapore REITs may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of our investment in the SREIT difficult. Even if an active trading market develops or we are able to negotiate block trades, if we or other significant investors sell or are perceived as intending to sell a substantial amount of units in a short period of time, the market price of our remaining units could be adversely affected. In addition, as a foreign equity investment, the trading price of units of the SREIT may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in the Singapore and Asian markets, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies. Furthermore, we may be limited in our ability to sell our investment in the SREIT if our advisor and/or its affiliates are deemed to have material, non-public information regarding the SREIT. Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, our President and our affiliated director, is a former director of the external manager of the SREIT, and Mr. Schreiber currently holds an indirect ownership interest in the external manager of the SREIT. An affiliate of our advisor serves as the U.S. asset manager to the SREIT. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our investment’s security price risk.

As of September 30, 2024, we held 237,426,088 units of the SREIT which represented 18.2% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate value of our investment in the units of the SREIT was $44.4 million, which was based solely on the closing price of the SREIT units on the SGX-ST of $0.187 per unit as of September 30, 2024, and did not take into account any potential discount for the holding period risk due to the quantity of units held by us relative to the normal level of trading volume in the units. This is a decrease of $0.693 per unit from our initial acquisition of SREIT units at $0.880 per unit on July 19, 2019. Due to the disruptions in the financial markets, since early March 2020, the trading price of the common units of the SREIT has experienced substantial volatility. The trading price of the common units of SREIT has been significantly impacted by the market sentiment for stock with significant investment in U.S. commercial office buildings. Based solely on the closing price per unit of the SREIT units as of September 30, 2024, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $4.4 million.
