During the year ended December 31, 2025, LREC, as special servicer for 2021-FL1 CLO foreclosed on two multifamily bridge loans located in San Antonio, TX with an aggregate net carrying value of $39.5 million, net of specific CECL reserves of $2.4 million, with ownership and deed to the properties being taken by newly formed subsidiaries of the Company.

The fair value of the REO at the time of foreclosure was determined using the income approach, market approach, or a combination thereof. The significant unobservable input for the income capitalization approach is the overall capitalization rate assumption, used in the direct capitalization method, which was 4.98% - 7.40%. The significant unobservable input used for the market approach is the price per unit from an appraisal or broker opinion of value.

On May 4, 2026, the Company sold one of the properties located in San Antonio, TX held by a subsidiary of the Company to a third party for $12.2 million and recognized a $0.1 million gain on the sale of the property.

On December 22, 2025, the Company sold one of the properties located in San Antonio, TX held by a subsidiary of the Company to a third party for $8.2 million and recognized a $0.5 million realized loss on the sale of the property.
