(2) Total Whole Loan represents total commitment of the entire whole loan originated. Committed Principal Amount includes participations by KKR affiliated entities and third parties that are syndicated/sold. (3) Net equity reflects (i) the amortized cost basis of our loans, net of borrowings and (ii) the cost basis of our investment in RECOP I. (4) Represents Committed Principal Amount less Current Principal Amount on Senior Loans and $4.3 million of unfunded commitment to RECOP I. (5) Weighted averages are weighted by current principal amount for senior loans and non-senior loans and by net equity for our RECOP I CMBS B-Piece investment. Senior Loan 27 and Non-Senior Loans 2 and 3 are excluded from the weighted average LTV. (6) L = one-month USD LIBOR rate; greater of (i) spot one-month USD LIBOR rate of 0.10% and (ii) LIBOR floor, where applicable, included in portfolio-wide averages represented as fixed rates. (7) Max remaining term (years) assumes all extension options are exercised, if applicable. (8) For senior loans, loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") LTV is generally based on the initial loan amount divided by the as-is appraised value as of the date the loan was originated or by the current principal amount as of the date of the most recent as-is appraised value; for Senior Loan 5, LTV is based on the initial loan amount divided by the appraised bulk sale value assuming a condo-conversion and no renovation; for Senior Loan 41, LTV is based on the current principal amount divided by the adjusted appraised gross sellout value net of sales cost; for mezzanine loans, LTV is based on the current balance of the whole loan dividend by the as-is appraised value as of the date the loan was originated; for RECOP I CMBS B-Pieces, LTV is based on the weighted average LTV of the underlying loan pool at issuance; for Senior Loans 7, 24, 29, 37, 40 and Mezzanine Loan 1, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value as of the date the loan was originated. Senior Loan 27 is a non—performing 5-rated loan that was placed on non-accrual status in October 2020. The loan is currently in restructuring discussions. (9) For Senior Loan 7, the total whole loan facility is $425.0 million, co-originated and co-funded by KREF and a KKR affiliate. KREF’s interest was 50% of the facility or $212.5 million.

(10) Senior Loan 27 was placed on non-accrual status in October 2020. The loan is currently in restructuring discussions. (11) For Senior Loan 41, Loan per SF of $1,665 is based on the allocated loan amount of the residential units. Excluding the value of the retail and parking components of the collateral, the Loan per SF is $2,133 based on allocating the full amount of the loan to only the residential units. (12) For Non-Senior Loan 1, Current Principal Amount is gross of $4.7 million written-off (of amortized cost). (13) Non-Senior Loan 3 is a real estate corporate loan to a multifamily operator.

Key Definitions 27 “Distributable Earnings": Commencing for all periods ending on or after December 31, 2020, the Company has elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental basis to KREF’s net income as determined in accordance with GAAP as the Company believes it would be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and its ability to pay its dividends. Distributable Earnings replaces the Company’s prior presentation of Core Earnings, and Core Earnings presentations from prior reporting periods have been recast as Distributable Earnings. The Company defines Distributable Earnings as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders or, without duplication, owners of the Company's subsidiaries, computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items agreed upon after discussions between the Company’s Manager and board of directors and after approval by a majority of the independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent the Company forecloses upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments. While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized current provision for credit losses, any loan losses are charged off and realized through Distributable Earnings when deemed non-recoverable. Non-recoverability is determined (i) upon the resolution of a loan (i.e. when the loan is repaid, fully or partially, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold), or (ii) with respect to any amounts due under any loan, when such amount is determined to be non-collectible. Distributable Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP net income. The Company cautions readers that its methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, the Company’s reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.
