The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and is required to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its credit and real estate investments in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether the entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company will reassess its initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these credit and real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, CLR is a VIE that is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary, as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of CLR and the obligation to absorb CLR’s losses through its guarantee of CLR’s indebtedness, which is significant to CLR. The non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets represents the equity interests in CLR owned by outside investors. As of December 31, 2025, CLR’s loan portfolio consisted of senior secured mortgage loans with a net book value of $1.4 billion and investments in real estate-related securities of $64.2 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of CLR’s investment in CIM NP JV Holdings, LLC (“NP JV Holdings”) was $138.7 million. CLR had $1.1 billion of debt outstanding, as of December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a portion of the Company’s portfolio of liquid corporate senior loans with an aggregate principal balance of $265.4 million to OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, resulting in net proceeds of $259.7 million after closing costs and a loss of $2.9 million. The collateral manager for OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd. is OFS CLO Management II, LLC, an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor (as defined in Note 13 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements). The Company does not maintain effective control over the liquid corporate senior loans and the Company does not have the ability, nor the requirement, to repurchase the liquid corporate senior loans. The liquid corporate senior loans served as the initial positions for the formation of a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”), in which the Company subsequently invested $27.6 million in a subordinated note (the “CLO subordinated note”). The CLO is a VIE, given the insufficient equity at risk, evidenced by the tranched capital structure and multiple series of debt instruments issued. However, the Company, through its investment in the CLO subordinated note, lacks the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. Additionally, the collateral manager, which does direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, was deemed to not be under common control with the Company. As such, the Company was determined to not be the primary beneficiary and the CLO is not consolidated on the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the CLO subordinated note is $19.6 million and is included in real estate-related securities and other on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The company has broken out $1.6 million of accreted interest income on the CLO subordinated note from amortization of premiums and discounts on credit investments in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported total cash flows from operating activities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company may assume legal title or physical possession of the collateral underlying a loan through a foreclosure or the execution of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The acquired property is initially recognized at fair value in accordance with the asset acquisition provisions under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) within total real estate assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the Company assumes legal title or physical possession. The value of acquired property is allocated based on the relative fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and intangibles. For additional information, refer to Note 4 — Real Estate Assets.

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, lease concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; significant increases to budgeted costs for units under development; and a reduction in prevailing market values for assets being considered for disposition. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The Company’s impairment assessment as of December 31, 2025 was based on the most current information available to the Company, including expected holding periods. If the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. The assumptions and uncertainties utilized in the evaluation of the impairment of real estate assets are discussed in detail in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for further discussion regarding real estate investment activity.

When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, based on management’s best estimate, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs.

Gains and losses from dispositions are recognized once the various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met. A discontinued operation includes only the disposal of a component of an entity and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results. Given the Company’s current asset portfolio and strategy, the Company’s dispositions during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and thus, the results of the properties and condominiums that were

Upon the acquisition of real properties or after taking control of real assets through deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure as described above, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities.

The fair values of above- and below-market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including, for below-market leases, any bargain renewal periods. The above- and below-market lease intangibles are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above-market leases are amortized as a reduction to rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below-market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, the remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Company’s relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above- or below-market lease intangibles relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.

The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income, which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease, are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.

The Company has acquired, and may continue to acquire, certain properties subject to contingent consideration arrangements that may obligate the Company to pay additional consideration to the seller based on the outcome of future events. Additionally, the Company may acquire certain properties for which it funds certain contingent consideration amounts into an escrow account pending the outcome of certain future events. The outcome may result in the release of all or a portion of the escrowed funds to the Company or the seller or a combination thereof. Contingent consideration arrangements for asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved.

The Company estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and any difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage note’s outstanding principal balance is amortized or accreted to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable.

The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

Certain acquisition-related expenses related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as described above. Acquisition-related manager expense reimbursements are expensed as incurred and are included in expense reimbursements to related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Other acquisition-related expenses continue to be expensed as incurred and are included in transaction-related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is engaged in an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement through NP JV Holdings (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”), of which it owns, indirectly through CMFT MT JV Holdings, LLC and CLR NP Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of CLR, approximately 50% of the outstanding equity. Through the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which holds approximately 92% of the membership interest in NewPoint JV, LLC (the “NewPoint JV”) pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement entered into between the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and NewPoint Bridge Lending, LLC, the Company indirectly owns approximately 46% of the outstanding equity of the NewPoint JV on a fully diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and is subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in NP JV Holdings’ earnings and distributions, including unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the NewPoint JV. The Company records its share of NP JV Holdings’ profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds. The Company deposits cash with several high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held. During the year ended December 31, 2024, included in cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 million of unsettled liquid corporate senior loan purchases. There were no unsettled liquid corporate senior loan purchases included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.

The Company had $4.6 million and $3.9 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $2.6 million and $1.9 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As part of certain of the Company’s debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties and interest income from certain first mortgage loans are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $2.0 million of construction reserves, amounts held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company classified its investments in CMBS and CLO subordinated note as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss). The amortized cost of the Company’s CMBS is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. The amortized cost of the Company’s CLO subordinated note reflects accretion of interest income based on the effective yield method less any cash distributions received or entitled to be received. CLO subordinated note positions are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the residual cash flows of payments received on underlying securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses.

The Company monitors its CMBS and CLO subordinated note for changes in fair value. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, such as market conditions. Such losses that are credit related are recorded as a current expected credit loss in increase in provision for credit losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent cumulative adverse changes in expected cash flows on the Company’s CMBS and CLO subordinated note are recognized as an increase to current expected credit losses. However, the allowance is limited to the amount by which the CMBS and CLO subordinated note’s amortized cost exceeds its fair value. Favorable changes in expected cash flows are recognized as a decrease to current expected credit losses. For additional information regarding the Company’s process for estimating current expected credit losses for its real estate-related securities, see the Current Expected Credit Losses section below.

The Company’s loans held-for-investment include loans related to real estate assets, as well as credit investments, including commercial mortgage loans and other loans and securities related to commercial real estate assets, as well as corporate loan opportunities that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and objectives. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any current expected credit losses and are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.

Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under the FASB ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment, CMBS and CLO included in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining current expected credit losses, it does specify current expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model should have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP framework underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.

The Company estimates the current expected credit loss for its first mortgage loans primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the FASB Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (reduced by certain adjustments such as estimated costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans, the Company uses a probability of default and loss given default method

using a comparable data set. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral, and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. The Company only expects to charge-off impairment losses as a reduction to current expected credit losses and as a reduction to the respective loan balance if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in the Company’s determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected.

Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans held-for-investment and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, property type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s).

2-Meets or Exceeds Expectations — Acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity, modest leverage capacity. A “2” rating could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the credit demonstrates an ample current cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit’s operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;

3-Satisfactory — Acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. A “3” rating is at times characterized by acceptable cash flows from operations. The trends and conditions of the credit’s operations and balance sheet are neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan can reasonably be achieved;

4-Underperformance — The debt investment possesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The obligor’s operations and/or balance sheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. These weaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the normal course of business but may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position if not checked or corrected. Collateral performance, if appropriate, falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and

5-Default/Possibility of Loss — The debt investment is protected inadequately by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. The underlying company’s operations have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases in revenues and cash flows. Major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; risk of principal loss. Collateral performance, if appropriate, is significantly worse than underwriting.

In estimating credit losses related to real estate-related securities, management considers a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. Credit losses, if any, are estimated by calculating the difference between (i) the present value of estimated cash flows expected to be collected from the security discounted at the yield determined as of the initial acquisition date or, if since revised, as of the last date previously revised, and (ii) the net amortized cost basis of the security. Significant judgment is used in estimating future cash flows for the Company’s real estate-related securities.

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written off when the associated debt is extinguished or repaid before maturity. The presentation of all deferred financing costs, other than those associated with the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities, are classified such that the debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Debt issuance costs related to securing a revolving line of credit are presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. As such, the Company’s current and corresponding prior period total deferred costs, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets relate only to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities and the historical presentation, amortization and treatment of unamortized costs are still applicable. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $5.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, related to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined the financing will not close.

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations.

Under the Company’s share redemption program, the Company’s obligation to redeem shares of its outstanding common stock is limited, among other things, to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records the maximum amount that is redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in its consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. The Company is not a party to any material leases where it is the lessee.

Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease, but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, including if they will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations.

Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in the origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third-party costs and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to salaries and benefits, supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are expensed as incurred. Upon successful lease execution, leasing commissions are capitalized.

Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases and, therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.

The Company continually reviews whether collection of future lease payments and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants are probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of future lease payments is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income for amounts previously recorded and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach and lease-related receivables are adjusted and taken against rental and other property income only when collectability becomes not probable.

Interest income from the Company’s loans held-for-investment and CMBS is recognized using the effective interest method (or the modified straight-line method when it is materially consistent with the effective interest method). Interest income is comprised of interest earned on credit investments and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees, other fees and discounts recognized through the life of each investment. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned, with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a nonaccrual loan. Interest income on the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans is accrued as earned beginning on the settlement date. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.

The Company recognizes interest income on its CLO subordinated note using the effective yield method utilizing expected cash flows from the underlying positions. The accretable yield is initially measured as the excess of all cash flows expected to be collected attributable to the beneficial interest, estimated at the transaction date over the initial investment, and will be re-evaluated upon the receipt of each quarterly distribution. Expected cash flows inherent in the estimate of accretable yields are based on expectations of default, as well as other loan-performance assumptions that impact the loans underlying the CLO portfolio. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.

Accrual of interest income is suspended on nonaccrual loans. Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collected is recognized on a cash basis when received as investment income or as a reduction in the amortized cost basis, based on specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and the Company believes all future principal and interest will be received according to the contractual loan terms.

The Company elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company will generally not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its taxable income to its stockholders, and so long as it, among other things, distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it or its subsidiaries may

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented. Diluted income (loss) per share considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which the Company had none for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023. Distributions per share are calculated based on the authorized monthly distribution rate.

Credit — engages primarily in acquiring and originating primarily floating rate first and second lien mortgage loans, either directly or through co-investments in joint ventures, related to real estate assets. This segment also includes investments in real estate-related and other securities, equity securities, liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans. The Company’s credit segment derives its revenues from the lending activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”.

Real estate — engages primarily in acquiring and managing geographically diversified income-producing retail, industrial and office properties that are primarily single-tenant properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. The Company’s real estate segment derives its revenues from the leasing activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-05 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted.
