INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE LOANS | INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE LOANS Real Estate Development Loans Onera Mezzanine Financing Loan In January 2023, we entered into an agreement with affiliates of Onera Opportunity Fund I, LP (“Onera”) to provide a mezzanine financing loan of $4.6 million (the “Onera Mezzanine Loan”) for the development of a glamping property. The Onera Mezzanine Loan is secured by a second mortgage on the property and is subordinate to the senior lender for the development project. As of March 31, 2025, we have funded our entire $4.6 million commitment under the Onera Mezzanine Loan. The original maturity date of the loan was September 2024; however, the borrower exercised its option to extend the Onera Mezzanine Loan for an additional 12 months. The development of the property was completed, and operations commenced, in September 2024. Additionally, we issued a $3.0 million letter of credit to the senior lender of the project as additional support for Onera's construction loan. We have not recorded a liability for this guarantee because it currently is not probable that we will be required to make any payment related to this guarantee. In the event that we are required to pay any amount under this guarantee, we would have the right to recover any amount paid under a guarantee from Onera. We also have an option to purchase 90% of the equity of the entity that owns the property that became exercisable upon completion of construction in September 2024 (the “Onera Purchase Option”). The Onera Purchase Option is exercisable until the later of the first anniversary of the opening of the property or the date the Onera Mezzanine Loan is paid in full. We recorded the estimated fair value of the Onera Purchase Option in Other assets and as a contra-asset to Investments in lodging property, net at its estimated fair value of $0.9 million on the transaction date using the Black-Scholes model. Our estimate of the fair value of the Onera Purchase Option under the Black-Scholes model requires judgment and estimates primarily related to the volatility of our stock price and expected levels of future dividends on our common stock. The recorded amount of the Onera Purchase Option was amortized as non-cash interest income beginning in January 2023 using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, and through September 2024 when the Onera Purchase Option became exercisable. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we amortized $0.1 million of the carrying amount of the Onera Purchase Option as non-cash interest income.
