Revolving Credit Facility
On November 6, 2024, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and East West Bank, as administrative agent, joint lead arranger, joint book runner, co-syndication agent and co-documentation agent (“East West Bank”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that contains initial aggregate commitments of $50.0 million from one or
more FDIC-insured banking institutions, which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a borrowing base based on eligible loan obligations held by the Company and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the amount of total commitments may be increased to up to $200.0 million in aggregate, subject to available borrowing base and lenders’ willingness to provide additional commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 8, 2027.
Interest is payable on the Revolving Credit Facility in cash in arrears at the rate per annum of SOFR plus 2.75%, with a SOFR floor of 2.63%; provided, however, that the interest rate will increase by an additional 0.25% during any Increase Rate Month (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement).
The Company is required to pay certain fees to the agent and the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, including a $75.0 thousand agent fee payable to the agent and a 0.25% per annum loan fee payable ratably to the lenders, in each case, payable on the closing date and on the annual anniversary thereafter. Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the closing date, the Revolving Credit Facility has an unused line fee of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. Based on the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the unused line fee is waived if our average revolver usage exceeds the minimum amount required per the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company incurred an unused line fee of approximately $21.9 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. In connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement and related amendments, the Company incurred certain closing costs of approximately $0.5 million, which were included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain material subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company; provided that upon the meeting of certain conditions, the Revolving Credit Facility will be secured only by certain assets of the Company comprising of or relating to loan obligations designed for inclusion in the borrowing base. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including a liquidity and debt service coverage ratio covenant. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility modified certain financial covenants, requiring us to, among other things: (i) maintain liquidity equal to the greater of (A) $5 million and (B) an amount equal to 10% of the outstanding obligations thereunder so long as we maintain at least $5 million in qualified cash (ii) maintain a quarterly debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.50 to 1.0 and (iii) maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 3.25x measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
On December 9, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment Number One to Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto and East West Bank, pursuant to which, among other things, the maximum revolver usage was temporarily increased until January 8, 2025, to the sum of (i) $50.0 million plus (ii) the lesser of $75.0 million and the aggregate amount of funds maintained in the Company’s borrowing base cash account. Following January 8, 2025, the maximum revolver usage automatically reverted back to $50.0 million.
On December 30, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment Number Two to Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and East West Bank, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to additional representations, covenants and other amendments to maintain the Company’s REIT status and limit the use of participation interests in any underlying obligor loan receivables secured as collateral.
On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment Number Three to Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and East West Bank, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to reduce the procedural requirements for obligor loan receivables to become eligible under the borrowing base.
On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment Number Four to Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and East West Bank, which, among other things (i) facilitated the entry of an additional lender; (ii) increased the aggregate commitment by $40.0 million, for a total maximum revolver usage of $90.0 million; (iii) modified the liquidity financial covenant to require the Company to maintain a base liquidity; and (iv) added a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a certain leverage ratio measured at the end of each fiscal quarter.
On May 29, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment Number Five to Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and East West Bank, which, among other things (i) facilitated the entry of an additional lender; (ii) increased the aggregate commitment by $50.0 million, for a total
maximum revolver usage of $140.0 million; (iii) included the requirement for additional appraisals and loan title policies; and (iv) required consent from certain lenders to advance additional funds under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $65.0 million and $123.8 million, respectively, and $75.0 million and $1.2 million were available for borrowing as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

SRT Finance LLC is indirectly owned by Leonard M. Tannenbaum, Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) and one of the Company’s officers, and Robyn Tannenbaum, President of the Company, along with their family members and associated family trusts.
