Relates to the acquisition of a property secured by a senior loan in May 2025. See Note 14 – “Real Estate Owned” for additional information.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve of $9,680, which included an asset-specific component of $1,505 related to one loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company increased the CECL reserve by $5,728. The primary driver of the change was a $5,165 increase in the analytical portion of the CECL reserve as two loans exceeded their maturity dates and had not been refinanced or paid off as of June 30, 2026. In addition, there was a $563 increase in the asset-specific CECL reserve primarily due to a $1,505 reserve recorded for a loan that was in foreclosure that had a decrease in the estimated collateral value as the net operating income declined, offset by the reduction in a reserve for one loan as the collateral value increased due to improved net operating income. See “Asset-Specific CECL Reserve” section below for further discussion on the loans with asset-specific CECL reserve.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a total CECL reserve of $11,414, which included an asset-specific component of $6,698 related to three loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company decreased the CECL reserve by $2,580, which includes $68 charge-off related to one loan.

Credit Characteristics

As part of the Company’s process for monitoring the credit quality of its investments, it performs a quarterly asset review of the investment portfolio and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans and CMBS. Risk factors include payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location, as well as national and regional economic factors. To determine the likelihood of loss, the loans are rated on a 5-point scale as follows:

 

Investment

Grade

Investment Grade Definition

1

Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable.

2

Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable.

3

Performing investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration. Collection of principal and interest is still expected.

4

Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative.

5

Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal.

All investments are assigned an initial risk rating of 2 at origination or acquisition.

As of June 30, 2026, seven loans had a risk rating of 2, two had a risk rating of 3, three had a risk rating of 4 and two had a risk rating of 5. As of December 31, 2025, five loans had a risk rating of 2, eight had a risk rating of 3 and two had a risk rating of 4.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company obtained an updated appraisal that exceeded the loan balance and the asset-specific CECL reserve of $3,615, which included additional asset-specific CECL reserve of $2,673 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was reversed. The loan has a risk rating of 4 as of June 30, 2026. The Company is negotiating an extension with the borrower that the Company expects to complete in the third quarter of 2026.
(2)
The loan is secured by an office property in Honolulu, HI with an outstanding balance of $12,700 and no unfunded commitment as of June 30, 2026. The loan matured on February 9, 2026 and was not repaid or extended. The Company sent the borrower a maturity default notice and began the foreclosure process. The Company has recorded an asset-specific CECL reserve of $1,505 for the loan as of June 30, 2026 as the estimated value of the property securing the loan was below the loan balance. The loan has a risk rating of 5 as of June 30, 2026.

There were no loans on nonaccrual status during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $0 and $767, respectively, in interest income related to the nonaccrual status loans prior to such loans being placed on nonaccrual status. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there was no reversal of interest income as a result of placing the loans on nonaccrual status. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the total interest income forgone on the loans on nonaccrual status was $1,084 and $1,656, respectively.

Loan Modifications

The Company may amend or modify a loan based on its specific facts and circumstances. These modifications are often in the form of a term extension to provide the borrower additional time to refinance or sell the collateral property in order to repay the principal balance of the loan. Such extensions are generally made at the loan’s contractual interest rate and may require an extension fee be paid to the Company.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company made no modification that is disclosable under ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company

made no modification that is disclosable under ASU 2022-02. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made one such modification that is disclosable under ASU 2022-02, as it was considered an other-than-insignificant payment delay for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. In this instance, the Company granted a term extension to February 9, 2026 for a senior loan secured by an office property located in Honolulu, HI described above. The modification provided for $750 in principal paydown and payments toward cash flow reserve deposit and modification fee of $600 and $50, respectively. The modification also provides for the accrued maturity default interest of $631 on the loan as of March 31, 2025 to be repaid as deferred commitment fee upon loan maturity. The loan’s modified terms were included in the determination of the CECL reserve. The loan had an amortized cost basis of $11,195, which is net of $1,505 of asset-specific CECL reserve on the loan, representing 3.7% of the Company’s commercial mortgage loans as of June 30, 2026. The loan matured on February 9, 2026 and was not repaid or extended. The Company sent the borrower a maturity default notice and began the foreclosure process.
