Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $182.7 million of unfunded commitments on mortgage loan receivables held for investment to provide additional first mortgage loan financing over the next three years at rates to be determined at the time of funding. 41% of these unfunded commitments require the occurrence of certain “good news” events, such as the owner concluding a lease agreement with a major tenant in the building or reaching some pre-determined net operating income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $93.4 million of unfunded commitments on mortgage loan receivables held for investment to provide additional first mortgage loan financing.
Commitments are subject to the Company’s loan borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and may or may not be funded depending on a variety of circumstances including timing, credit metric hurdles, and other nonfinancial events occurring. The Company carefully monitors the progress of work at properties that serve as collateral underlying its commercial mortgage loans, including the progress of capital expenditures, construction, leasing and business plans in light of current market conditions. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets.
