Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company, its borrowers and tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us, our borrowers and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the availability and acceptance of effective vaccines, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Among others, the following uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements:

•operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected;

•the novel coronavirus pandemic, measures intended to prevent its spread and government actions to mitigate its economic impact have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition;

•we depend on borrowers and tenants for a substantial portion of our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue and our ability to make distributions to stockholders will be dependent upon the success and economic viability of such borrowers and tenants;

•deterioration in the performance of the properties securing our investments (including depletion of interest and other reserves or payment-in-kind concessions in lieu of current interest payment obligations) that may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments and, potentially, principal losses to us (including, but not limited to, the Los Angeles mixed-use development loan, other hospitality loans and Dublin development financings);

•the fair value of our investments may be subject to uncertainties or decrease;

•our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the internalization of management following the termination of our relationship with our former external manager;

•the ability to realize substantial efficiencies as well as anticipated strategic and financial benefits, including, but not limited to expected returns on equity and/or yields on investments;

•adverse impacts on our corporate revolver, including covenant compliance and borrowing base capacity;

•adverse impacts on our liquidity, including margin calls on master repurchase facilities, debt service or lease payment defaults or deferrals, demands for protective advances and capital expenditures;

•our real estate investments are relatively illiquid and we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions, which may result in losses to us;

•the timing of and ability to deploy available capital;

•we have not established a minimum distribution payment level, and we cannot assure you of our ability to pay distributions in the future;

•the timing of and ability to complete repurchases of our stock;

•we are subject to risks associated with obtaining mortgage financing on our real estate, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to stockholders;

•the impact of legislative, regulatory, tax and competitive changes and the actions of governmental authorities, and in particular those affecting the commercial real estate finance and mortgage industry or our business.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. We urge you to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 herein and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” herein.

Table of Contents

We caution investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and the Company does not intend to do so.

1. Business and Organization

On June 24, 2021, BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) changed its name from Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. As of June 25, 2021, the Company also changed its principal place of business and corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to New York City, now located at 590 Madison Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10022. The Company will continue to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, trading under the new ticker symbol, BRSP.

BrightSpire Capital, Inc. is a commercial real estate (“CRE”) credit real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on originating, acquiring, financing and managing a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of CRE debt investments and net leased properties predominantly in the United States. CRE debt investments primarily consist of first mortgage loans, which the Company expects to be its primary investment strategy. Additionally, the Company may selectively originate mezzanine loans and make preferred equity investments, which may include profit participations. The mezzanine loans and preferred investments equity may be in conjunction with the Company’s origination of corresponding first mortgages on the same properties. Net leased properties consist of CRE properties with long-term leases to tenants on a net-lease basis, where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance capital expenditures and real estate taxes. The Company will continue to target net leased equity investments on a selective basis. The Company also currently has investments in CRE debt securities primarily consisting of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) (including “B-pieces” of a CMBS securitization pool) or CRE collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (including the junior tranches thereof, collateralized by pools of CRE debt investments). Any future investments in more highly rated investment grade CRE debt securities would be selective and opportunistic.

The Company was organized in the state of Maryland on August 23, 2017 and maintains key offices in New York, New York and Los Angeles, California. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2018. The Company conducts all activities and holds substantially all assets and liabilities through the Company’s operating subsidiary, BrightSpire Capital Operating Company, LLC, (formerly known as Credit RE Operating Company, LLC, the “OP”). At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company owned 97.7% of the OP, as its sole managing member. The remaining 2.3% is owned as noncontrolling interests.

The Internalization

On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the internalization of the Company’s management and operating functions and terminated its relationship with CLNC Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), a subsidiary of DigitalBridge Group, Inc., formerly known as Colony Capital, Inc. (“DigitalBridge”), in accordance with that termination agreement dated April 4, 2021 between the Company, the OP, the Manager and Colony Capital Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Termination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the “Internalization”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company paid the Manager a one-time termination fee of $102.3 million. Therefore, the Company will no longer pay management or incentive fees to the Manager for any post-closing period and the Company has assumed general and administrative expenses directly. The Company anticipates a savings in operating costs as a result of the Internalization. Further, in connection with the Internalization, certain affiliates of each of the Company and the Manager entered into a transition services agreement to facilitate an orderly internalization transition of the Company’s management of its operations and, in addition, the Company will provide affiliates of the Manager with certain limited transition services.

The Company’s executive team remains unchanged, including Michael J. Mazzei, Chief Executive Officer and President; Andrew E. Witt, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President; Frank V. Saracino, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President; David A. Palamé, General Counsel, Secretary and Executive Vice President; George Kok, Chief Credit Officer; and Daniel Katz, Head of Originations. Following the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), DigitalBridge no longer has affiliated representatives on the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors is comprised of ~~five~~six members, including ~~four~~five incumbent independent directors, led by Catherine D. Rice, the Company’s Independent Chairperson, Vernon Schwartz, John Westerfield, ~~and~~ Winston W. Wilson and Kim S. Diamond, who was recently appointed during the fourth quarter of 2021, and Michael J. Mazzei, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Additionally, certain employees that have contributed substantially to the Company’s investment, underwriting, portfolio and asset management, loan servicing, financial reporting, treasury, legal, tax, credit, risk and compliance responsibilities seamlessly moved forward with the Company.

Segment Realignment

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company realigned the business and reportable segment information to reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) regularly review and manage the business. Refer to Note 17, “Segment Reporting” for further detail.

Impact of COVID-19

Throughout 2020, continuing into the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, countries around the world continue to face healthcare and economic challenges arising from the novel coronavirus, ~~disease 2019,~~ or COVID-19. Efforts to address the pandemic, such as social distancing, closures or reduced capacity of retail and service outlets, hotels, factories and public venues, often mandated by governments, have had a significant impact on the global economy and financial markets across major industries, including many sectors of real estate. In particular, the Company’s loans and preferred equity held for investment and real estate investments in the hospitality and retail sectors have experienced or anticipate a myriad of challenges, including, but not limited to: significant declines in operating cash flows of the Company’s investments which in turn affect their ability to meet debt service and covenant requirements on investment-level debt (non-recourse to the Company); flexible lease payment terms sought by tenants; increased property operating costs such as labor and supplies as a result of COVID-19; potential payment defaults on the Company's loans and preferred equity held for investment; and a distressed market affecting real estate values in general. The COVID-19 crisis may also lead to heightened risk of litigation at the investment and corporate level, with an ensuing increase in litigation and related costs.

The volatility in equity and debt markets, and the economic fallout from COVID-19 continue to affect the valuation of the Company’s financial assets, carried at fair value. The Company’s consideration and assessment of impairment is discussed further in Note 3, “Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment, net,” Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale,” Note 6, “Real Estate, net and Real Estate Held for Sale” and Note 14, “Fair Value.”

A prolonged economic downturn as a result of efforts to contain COVID-19 may continue to negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. While the extent and duration of the broad effects of COVID-19 on the global economy and the Company remain unclear, the Company believes it has materially addressed overall recoverability in value across its assets based upon external factors known to date and assumptions using the Company’s best estimate at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the progress of the COVID-19 crisis and reassess its effects on the Company’s results of operations and recoverability in value across its assets as conditions change.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company are described below. The accounting policies of the Company’s unconsolidated ventures are substantially similar to those of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, or any other future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, or presented as exhibits to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The portions of equity, net income and other comprehensive income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the parent are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Restructuring Charges

On April 4, 2021, the Company entered into the Termination Agreement with the Manager whereby its management agreement terminated on April 30, 2021. The termination of the management agreement resulted in a material change in the management structure of the Company, and was accounted for under ASC 420, Exit or disposal cost obligations. The one-time payment made to the Manager under the Termination Agreement, and other associated costs, were recorded within restructuring charges on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 19, “Restructuring Charges” for additional discussion of the Company’s internalization.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The portions of the equity, net income and other comprehensive income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the parent are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, or if the Company has the power to control an entity through a majority of voting interest or through other arrangements.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities—A VIE is an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (ii) whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) is established with non-substantive voting rights. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company also considers interests held by its related parties, including de facto agents. The Company assesses whether it is a member of a related party group that collectively meets the power and benefits criteria and, if so, whether the Company is most closely associated with the VIE. In performing the related party analysis, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of its investment relative to the related party; the Company’s and the related party’s ability to control or significantly influence key decisions of the VIE including consideration of involvement by de facto agents; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or the related party to fund operating losses of the VIE; and the similarity and significance of the VIE’s business activities to those of the Company and the related party. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, may involve significant judgment, including the determination of which activities most significantly affect the entities’ performance, and estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by the VIE.

Voting Interest Entities—Unlike VIEs, voting interest entities have sufficient equity to finance their activities and equity investors exhibit the characteristics of a controlling financial interest through their voting rights. The Company consolidates such entities when it has the power to control these entities through ownership of a majority of the entities’ voting interests or through other arrangements.

At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether changes in facts and circumstances cause a change in the status of an entity as a VIE or voting interest entity, and/or a change in the Company’s consolidation assessment.

Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. An entity may be consolidated as a result of this reassessment, in which case, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the entity are recorded at fair value upon initial consolidation. Any existing equity interest held by the Company in the entity prior to the Company obtaining control will be remeasured at fair value, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon initial consolidation. However, if the consolidation represents an asset acquisition of a voting interest entity, the Company’s existing interest in the acquired assets, if any, is not remeasured to fair value but continues to be carried at historical cost. The Company may also deconsolidate a subsidiary as a result of this reassessment, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon deconsolidation depending on the carrying values of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of any interests retained.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company has identified certain consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs. Assets of each of the VIEs, other than the OP, may only be used to settle obligations of the respective VIE. Creditors of each of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Consolidated VIEs

The Company’s operating subsidiary, the OP, is a limited liability company that has governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. The Company holds the majority of membership interest in the OP, is the managing member of the OP and exercises full responsibility, discretion and control over the day-to-day management of the OP. The noncontrolling interests in the OP do not have substantive liquidation rights, substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest members (including by such a member unilaterally). The absence of such rights, which represent voting rights in a limited partnership equivalent structure, would render the OP to be a VIE. The Company, as managing member, has the power to direct the core activities of the OP that most significantly affect the OP’s performance, and through its majority interest in the OP, has both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of the OP. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the OP and consolidates the OP. As the Company conducts its business and holds its assets and liabilities through the OP, the total assets and liabilities of the OP represent substantially all of the total consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company.

Other consolidated VIEs include the Investing VIEs (as defined and discussed below) and certain operating real estate properties that have noncontrolling interests. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the noncontrolling interests in the operating real estate properties represent third party joint venture partners with ownership ranging from 5.0% to 11.0%. These noncontrolling interests do not have substantive kick-out nor participating rights.

Investing VIEs

The Company’s investments in securitization financing entities (“Investing VIEs”) include subordinate first-loss tranches of securitization trusts, which represent interests in such VIEs. Investing VIEs are structured as pass through entities that receive principal and interest payments from the underlying debt collateral assets and distribute those payments to the securitization trust’s certificate holders, including the most subordinate tranches of the securitization trust. Generally, a securitization trust designates the most junior subordinate tranche outstanding as the controlling class, which entitles the holder of the controlling class to unilaterally appoint and remove the special servicer for the trust, and as such may qualify as the primary beneficiary of the trust.

If it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of an Investing VIE as a result of acquiring the subordinate first-loss tranches of the securitization trust, the Company would consolidate the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the entire Investing VIE. The assets held by an Investing VIE are restricted and can only be used to fulfill its own obligations. The obligations of an Investing VIE have neither any recourse to the general credit of the Company as the consolidating parent entity of an Investing VIE, nor to any of the Company’s other consolidated entities.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company held subordinate tranches of a securitization trust in 1 Investing VIE for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the securitization trust. The Company’s subordinate tranches of the securitization trust, which represents the retained interest and related interest income, are eliminated in consolidation. As a result, all of the assets, liabilities (obligations to the certificate holders of the securitization trust, less the Company’s retained interest from the subordinate tranches of the securitization trust), income and expenses of the Investing VIE are presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company although the Company legally owns the subordinate tranches of the securitization trust only. Regardless of the presentation, the Company’s consolidated financial statements of operations ultimately reflect the net income attributable to its retained interest in the subordinate tranches of the securitization trust.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $32.0 million and realized losses of $23.4 million. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of ~~one~~1 securitization trust for $28.7 million in total proceeds. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $19.5 million. The Company also recognized a realized loss of $19.5 million ~~for~~when the ~~three~~accumulated losses related to the retained investment were reversed and ~~six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company also recognized unrealized gains of $19.5 million~~subsequently recorded to realized loss on mortgage loans and ~~$28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.~~obligations held in securitization trusts, net. The Company deconsolidated the securitization trust with gross assets and liabilities of approximately $830.9 million and $802.2 million, respectively, which excludes accrued interest receivable and payable amounts of $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a realized loss of $3.9 million related to the sale of an underlying loan held within 1 of its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of a securitization trust. The Company also recorded an unrealized gain of $3.9 million when the accumulated losses related to the retained investment were reversed and subsequently recorded to realized loss on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts, net.

realized loss was previously included in the Company’s loss projections and therefore no additional fair value write down was required in the third quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further discussion.

The Company elected the fair value option for the initial recognition of the assets and liabilities of its consolidated Investing VIEs. Interest income and interest expense associated with the Investing VIEs are presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations, and the assets and liabilities of the Investing VIEs are separately presented as “Mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, at fair value” and “Mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts, at fair value,” respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 14, “Fair Value” for further discussion.

The Company has adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), allowing the Company to measure both the financial assets and liabilities of a qualifying collateralized financing entity (“CFE”), such as its Investing

VIEs, using the fair value of either the CFE’s financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable. A CFE is a VIE that holds financial assets, issues beneficial interests in those assets and has no more than nominal equity, and the beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. As the liabilities of the Company’s Investing VIEs are marketable securities with observable trade data, their fair value is more observable and is referenced to determine fair value of the assets of its Investing VIEs. Refer to Note 14, “Fair Value” for further discussion.

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company identified unconsolidated VIEs related to its securities investments, indirect interests in real estate through real estate private equity funds (“PE Investments”) and CRE debt investments. Based on management’s analysis, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the above VIEs. Accordingly, the VIEs are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Assets of each of the VIEs may only be used to settle obligations of the respective VIE. Creditors of each of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The following table presents the Company’s classification, carrying value and maximum exposure of unconsolidated VIEs as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):


		Carrying Value		Maximum Exposure to Loss			Carrying Value		Maximum Exposure to Loss
Loans and preferred equity held for investment, net	Loans and preferred equity held for investment, net	$	18,842	$	18,842	Loans and preferred equity held for investment, net	$	18,909	$	18,909
Real estate securities, available for sale	Real estate securities, available for sale	4,045		4,045		Real estate securities, available for sale	3,945		3,945
Investments in unconsolidated ventures	Investments in unconsolidated ventures	266,212		274,797		Investments in unconsolidated ventures	199,279		203,753

Total assets	Total assets	$	289,099	$	297,684	Total assets	$	222,133	$	226,607

The Company did not provide financial support to the unconsolidated VIEs during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, there were no explicit arrangements or implicit variable interests that could require the Company to provide financial support to the unconsolidated VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss of real estate securities, available for sale was determined as the amortized cost as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. See Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further discussion on fair value of the real estate securities. The maximum exposure to loss of investments in unconsolidated ventures and loans and preferred equity held for investment, net was determined as the carrying value plus any future funding commitments. Refer to Note 3, “Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment, net” and Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests in Investment Entities—This represents interests in consolidated investment entities held by third party joint venture partners and prior to the closing of the Company’s formation transactions (the “Combination”) on January 31, 2018, such interests held by private funds managed by DigitalBridge. Subsequent to the Combination, the Company entered into a preferred financing arrangement with Goldman Sachs (“GS”) limited to interests in 4 co-investments and a triple-net industrial distribution center. Allocation of net income or loss is generally based upon relative ownership interests held by equity owners in each investment entity, or based upon contractual arrangements that may provide for disproportionate allocation of economic returns among equity interests, including using a hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) basis, where applicable and substantive. HLBV uses a balance sheet approach, which measures each party’s capital account at the end of a period assuming that the subsidiary was liquidated or sold at book value. Each party’s share of the subsidiary’s earnings or loss is calculated by measuring the change in the party’s capital account from the beginning of the period in question to the end of period, adjusting for effects of distributions and new investments.

Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership—This represents membership interests in the OP held by an affiliate of DigitalBridge. Noncontrolling interests in the OP are allocated a share of net income or loss in the OP based on their weighted average ownership interest in the OP during the period. Noncontrolling interests in the OP have the right to require the OP to redeem part or all of the membership units in the OP for cash based on the market value of an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company’s election as managing member of the OP, through the issuance of shares of Class A common stock on a 1-for-one basis. At the end of each reporting period, noncontrolling interests in the OP is adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in the OP at the end of the period, through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in the OP, as applicable.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company reports consolidated comprehensive income (loss) in separate statements following the consolidated statements of operations. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity resulting from net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The components of OCI include unrealized gain (loss) on CRE debt securities available for sale for which the fair value option was not elected, gain (loss) on derivative instruments used in the Company’s risk management activities used for economic hedging purposes (“designated hedges”), and gain (loss) on foreign currency translation.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is based on an exit price, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Where appropriate, the Company makes adjustments to estimated fair values to appropriately reflect counterparty credit risk as well as the Company’s own credit-worthiness.

The estimated fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are categorized into a three-tier hierarchy, prioritized based on the level of transparency in inputs used in the valuation techniques, as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in non-active markets, or valuation techniques utilizing inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable data directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—At least one assumption or input is unobservable and it is significant to the fair value measurement, requiring significant management judgment or estimate.

Where the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized within the hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement.

Fair Value Option

The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial instruments. Gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The fair value option may be elected only upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including when the Company enters into an eligible firm commitment, at initial recognition of the financial instrument, as well as upon a business combination or consolidation of a subsidiary. The election is irrevocable unless a new election event occurs.

The Company has elected the fair value option for PE Investments. The Company has also elected the fair value option to account for the eligible financial assets and liabilities of its consolidated Investing VIEs in order to mitigate potential accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the instruments and the related assets and liabilities to be consolidated. The Company has adopted the measurement alternative allowing the Company to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a qualifying CFE it consolidates using the fair value of either the CFE’s financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable.

Business Combinations

Definition of a Business—The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If not, for an acquisition to be considered a business, it would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly

Table of Contents

BRIGHTSPIRE CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., there is a continuation of revenue before and after the transaction). A substantive process is not ancillary or minor, cannot be replaced without significant costs, effort or delay or is otherwise considered unique or scarce. To qualify as a business without outputs, the acquired assets would require an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience that performs a substantive process.

Asset Acquisitions—For acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses, the assets acquired are recognized based on their cost to the Company as the acquirer and no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of assets acquired in a group is allocated to individual assets within the group based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of assets are included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.

Business Combinations—The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred. The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company did 0tnot have any cash equivalents at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. The Company’s cash is held with major financial institutions and may at times exceed federally insured limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of borrower escrow deposits, tenant escrow deposits and real estate capital expenditure reserves.

Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment

The Company originates and purchases loans and preferred equity held for investment. The accounting framework for loans and preferred equity held for investment depends on the Company’s strategy whether to hold or sell the loan, whether the loan was credit-impaired at the time of acquisition, or if the lending arrangement is an acquisition, development and construction loan.

Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment

Loans and preferred equity that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment. Originated loans and preferred equity are recorded at amortized cost, or outstanding unpaid principal balance plus exit fees less net deferred loan fees. Net deferred loan fees include unamortized origination and other fees charged to the borrower less direct incremental loan origination costs incurred by the Company. Purchased loans and preferred equity are recorded at amortized cost, or unpaid principal balance plus purchase premium or less unamortized discount. Costs to purchase loans and preferred equity are expensed as incurred.

Interest Income—Interest income is recognized based upon contractual interest rate and unpaid principal balance of the loans and preferred equity investments. Net deferred loan fees on originated loans and preferred equity investments are deferred and amortized as adjustments to interest income over the expected life of the loans and preferred equity investments using the effective yield method. Premium or discount on purchased loans and preferred equity investments are amortized as adjustments to interest income over the expected life of the loans and preferred equity investments using the effective yield method. When a loan or preferred equity investment is prepaid, prepayment fees and any excess of proceeds over the carrying amount of the loan or preferred equity investment is recognized as additional interest income.

The Company has debt investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company will generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or management does not expect the borrower to be able to pay all principal and interest due.

Nonaccrual—Accrual of interest income is suspended on nonaccrual loans and preferred equity investments. Loans and preferred equity investments 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 receivable is reversed against interest income when loans and preferred equity investments are placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collected is recognized on a cash basis by crediting income when received; or if ultimate collectability of loan and preferred equity principal is uncertain, interest collected is recognized using a cost recovery method by applying interest collected as a reduction to loan and preferred equity carrying value. Loans and preferred equity investments may be restored to accrual status when all principal and interest are current and full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest are reasonably assured.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans that the Company intends to sell or liquidate in the foreseeable future are classified as held for sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less disposal cost, with valuation changes recognized as impairment loss. Loans held for sale are not subject to allowance for loan losses. Net deferred loan origination fees and loan purchase premiums or discounts are deferred and capitalized as part of the carrying value of the held for sale loan until the loan is sold, therefore included in the periodic valuation adjustments based on lower of cost or fair value less disposal cost.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had 0no loans classified as held for sale.

Acquisition, Development and Construction (“ADC”) Arrangements

The Company provides loans to third party developers for the acquisition, development and construction of real estate. Under an ADC arrangement, the Company participates in the expected residual profits of the project through the sale, refinancing or other use of the property. The Company evaluates the characteristics of each ADC arrangement, including its risks and rewards, to determine whether they are more similar to those associated with a loan or an investment in real estate. ADC arrangements with characteristics implying loan classification are presented as loans held for investment and result in the recognition of interest income. ADC arrangements with characteristics implying real estate joint ventures are presented as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and are accounted for using the equity method. The classification of each ADC arrangement as either loan receivable or real estate joint venture involves significant judgment and relies on various factors, including market conditions, amount and timing of expected residual profits, credit enhancements in the form of guaranties, estimated fair value of the collateral, and significance of borrower equity in the project, among others. The classification of ADC arrangements is performed at inception, and periodically reassessed when significant changes occur in the circumstances or conditions described above.

Operating Real Estate

Real Estate Acquisitions—Real estate acquired in acquisitions that are deemed to be business combinations is recorded at the fair values of the acquired components at the time of acquisition, allocated among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and lease-related tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, including forgone leasing costs, in-place lease values and above- or below-market lease values. Real estate acquired in acquisitions that are deemed to be asset acquisitions is recorded at the total value of consideration transferred, including transaction costs, and allocated to the acquired components based upon relative fair value. The estimated fair value of acquired land is derived from recent comparable sales of land and listings within the same local region based on available market data. The estimated fair value of acquired buildings and building improvements is derived from comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis using market-based assumptions, or replacement cost, as appropriate. The fair value of site and tenant improvements is estimated based upon current market replacement costs and other relevant market rate information.

Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate held for investment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Costs Capitalized or Expensed—Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while expenditures for significant renovations that improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Table of Contents

BRIGHTSPIRE CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Depreciation—Real estate held for investment, other than land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:


Real Estate Assets						Term
Building (fee interest)						7 to 48 years
Building leasehold interests						Lesser of remaining term of the lease or remaining life of the building
Building improvements						Lesser of the useful life or remaining life of the building
Land improvements						1 to 15 years
Tenant improvements						Lesser of the useful life or remaining term of the lease
Furniture, fixtures and equipment						2 to 8 years

Impairment—The Company evaluates its real estate held for investment for impairment periodically or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates real estate for impairment generally on an individual property basis. If an impairment indicator exists, the Company evaluates the undiscounted future net cash flows that are expected to be generated by the property, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition of the property. If multiple outcomes are under consideration, the Company may apply a probability-weighted approach to the impairment analysis. Based upon the analysis, if the carrying value of a property exceeds its undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of the property over the estimated fair value of the property. In evaluating and/or measuring impairment, the Company considers, among other things, current and estimated future cash flows associated with each property, market information for each sub-market, including, where applicable, competition levels, foreclosure levels, leasing trends, occupancy trends, lease or room rates, and the market prices of similar properties recently sold or currently being offered for sale, and other quantitative and qualitative factors. Another key consideration in this assessment is the Company’s assumptions about the highest and best use of its real estate investments and its intent and ability to hold them for a reasonable period that would allow for the recovery of their carrying values. If such assumptions change and the Company shortens its expected hold period, this may result in the recognition of impairment losses. See Note 6, “Real Estate, net and Real Estate Held for Sale” and Note 14, “Fair Value” for further detail.

Real Estate Held for Sale

Real estate is classified as held for sale in the period when (i) management approves a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to usual and customary terms, (iii) a program is initiated to locate a buyer and actively market the asset for sale at a reasonable price, and (iv) completion of the sale is probable within one year. Real estate held for sale is stated at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less disposal cost, with any write-down to fair value less disposal cost recorded as an impairment loss. For any increase in fair value less disposal cost subsequent to classification as held for sale, the impairment loss may be reversed, but only up to the amount of cumulative loss previously recognized. Depreciation is not recorded on assets classified as held for sale. At the time a sale is consummated, the excess, if any, of sale price less selling costs over carrying value of the real estate is recognized as a gain.

If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely and, as a result, the Company decides not to sell the real estate asset previously classified as held for sale, the real estate asset is reclassified as held for investment. Upon reclassification, the real estate asset is measured at the lower of (i) its carrying amount prior to classification as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the real estate been continuously classified as held for investment, and (ii) its estimated fair value at the time the Company decides not to sell.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, there ~~was one property~~were 2 properties held for sale. See Note 6, “Real Estate, net and Real Estate Held for Sale” and Note 17, “Segment Reporting” for further detail.

Foreclosed Properties

The Company receives foreclosed properties in full or partial settlement of loans held for investment by taking legal title or physical possession of the properties. Foreclosed properties are generally recognized at the time the real estate is received at foreclosure sale or upon execution of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed properties are initially measured at fair value. If the fair value of the property is lower than the carrying value of the loan, the difference is recognized as provision for loan loss and the cumulative loss allowance on the loan is charged off. The Company periodically evaluates foreclosed properties for subsequent decrease in fair value, which is recorded as an additional impairment loss. Fair value of foreclosed properties is generally based on third party appraisals, broker price opinions, comparable sales or a combination thereof.

Real Estate Securities

The Company classifies its CRE securities investments as available for sale on the acquisition date, which are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains (losses) are recorded as a component of accumulated OCI in the consolidated statements of equity. However, the Company has elected the fair value option for the assets and liabilities of its consolidated Investing VIEs, and as a result, any unrealized gains (losses) on the consolidated Investing VIEs are recorded in unrealized gain (loss) on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts, net in the consolidated statements of operations. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company held subordinate tranches of 1 securitization trust, which represent the Company’s retained interest in a securitization trust that the Company consolidates under U.S. GAAP. Refer to Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further discussion.

Impairment

CRE securities for which the fair value option is elected are not evaluated for impairment as any change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized losses on such securities are reclassified to realized loss on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trust, net as losses occur.

CRE securities for which the fair value option is not elected are evaluated for impairment quarterly. Impairment of a security is considered when the fair value is below the amortized cost basis, which is then further analyzed when: (i) the holder has the intent to sell the impaired security; (ii) it is more likely than not the holder will be required to sell the security; or (iii) the holder does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security. When a CRE security has been deemed impaired due to (i) or (ii) or (iii), the security is written down to its fair value and an impairment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. In all other situations, the unrealized loss is bifurcated into: (a) the amount related to expected credit losses; and (b) the amount related to other factors in excess of expected credit losses. The portion of impairment related to expected credit losses is recognized as an allowance for credit losses. The remaining impairment related to other factors is recognized as a component of accumulated OCI in the consolidated statements of equity. CRE securities which are not high-credit quality are considered to have an impairment if the security has an unrealized loss and there has been an adverse change in expected cash flow. The amount of impairment is then bifurcated as discussed above.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.0 million related to its CRE securities. The impairment loss is included in other gain, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further discussion.

Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures

A noncontrolling, unconsolidated ownership interest in an entity may be accounted for using one of (i) equity method where applicable; (ii) fair value option if elected; (iii) fair value through earnings if fair value is readily determinable, including election of net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient where applicable; or (iv) for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the measurement alternative to measure at cost adjusted for any impairment and observable price changes, as applicable.

Fair value changes of equity method investments under the fair value option are recorded in earnings from investments in unconsolidated ventures. Fair value changes of other equity investments, including adjustments for observable price changes under the measurement alternative, are recorded in other gain (loss).

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for investments under the equity method of accounting if it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an entity, but does not have a controlling financial interest. The equity method investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted each period for capital contributions, distributions and the Company’s share of the entity’s net income or loss as well as other comprehensive income or loss. The Company’s share of net income or loss may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in an entity if the governing documents prescribe a substantive non-proportionate earnings allocation formula or a preferred return to certain investors. For certain equity method investments, the Company records its proportionate share of income on a one to three month lag. Distributions of operating profits from equity method investments are reported as operating activities, while distributions in excess of operating profits are reported as investing activities in the statement of cash flows under the cumulative earnings approach.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of investments in PE Investments, senior loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity held in joint ventures, as well as ADC arrangements accounted for as equity method investments.

Impairment

Evaluation of impairment applies to equity method investments and equity investments under the measurement alternative. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company will first estimate the fair value of its investment. In assessing fair value, the Company generally considers, among others, the estimated fair value of the investee, which is based on significant assumptions including the estimated timing and probabilities of the future cash flows of the unconsolidated joint venture, utilizing discount rates and capitalization rates.

For investments under the measurement alternative, if carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value, an impairment is deemed to have occurred.

For equity method investments, further consideration is made if a decrease in value of the investment is other-than-temporary to determine if impairment loss should be recognized. Assessment of OTTI involves management judgment, including, but not limited to, consideration of the investee’s financial condition, operating results, business prospects and creditworthiness, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until recovery of its carrying value. If management is unable to reasonably assert that an impairment is temporary or believes that the Company may not fully recover the carrying value of its investment, then the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary.

Investments that are other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to their estimated fair value. Impairment loss is recorded in earnings from investments in unconsolidated ventures for equity method investments and in other gain (loss) for investments under the measurement alternative.

Identifiable Intangibles

In a business combination or asset acquisition, the Company may recognize identifiable intangibles that meet either or both the contractual-legal criterion or the separability criterion. An indefinite-lived intangible is not subject to amortization until such time that its useful life is determined to no longer be indefinite, at which point, it will be assessed for impairment and its adjusted carrying amount amortized over its remaining useful life. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their useful life in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the intangible is being consumed if readily determinable, such as based upon expected cash flows; otherwise they are amortized on a straight line basis. The useful life of all identified intangibles will be periodically reassessed and if useful life changes, the carrying amount of the intangible will be amortized prospectively over the revised useful life.

Lease Intangibles—Identifiable intangibles recognized in acquisitions of operating real estate properties generally include in-place leases, above- or below-market leases and deferred leasing costs, all of which have finite lives. In-place leases generate value over and above the tangible real estate because a property that is occupied with leased space is typically worth more than a vacant building without an operating lease contract in place. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on management’s assessment of costs avoided from having tenants in place, including lost rental income, rent concessions and tenant allowances or reimbursements, that hypothetically would be incurred to lease a vacant building to its actual existing occupancy level on the valuation date. The net amount recorded for acquired in-place leases is included in intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases. If an in-place lease is terminated, the unamortized portion is charged to depreciation and amortization expense.

The estimated fair value of the above- or below-market component of acquired leases represents the present value of the difference between contractual rents of acquired leases and market rents at the time of the acquisition for the remaining lease term, discounted for tenant credit risks. Above- or below-market operating lease values are amortized on a straight-line basis as a decrease or increase to rental income, respectively, over the applicable lease terms. This includes fixed rate renewal options in acquired leases that are below-market, which are amortized to decrease rental income over the renewal period. Above- or below-market ground lease obligations are amortized on a straight-line basis as a decrease or increase to rent expense, respectively, over the applicable lease terms. If the above- or below-market operating lease values or above- or below-market ground lease obligations are terminated, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles are recorded in rental income or rent expense, respectively.

Deferred leasing costs represent management’s estimate of the avoided leasing commissions and legal fees associated with an existing in-place lease. The net amount is included in intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable lease.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Sale accounting for transfers of financial assets requires the transfer of an entire financial asset, a group of financial assets in its entirety or if a component of the financial asset is transferred, that the component meets the definition of a participating interest with characteristics that mirror the original financial asset.

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. If the Company has any continuing involvement, rights or obligations with the transferred financial asset (outside of standard representations and warranties), sale accounting requires that the transfer meets the following sale conditions: (1) the transferred asset has been legally isolated; (2) the transferee has the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred asset; and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred asset through an agreement that provides for (a) both an entitlement and an obligation by the Company to repurchase or redeem the asset before its maturity, (b) the unilateral ability by the Company to reclaim the asset and a more than trivial benefit attributable to that ability, or (c) the transferee requiring the Company to repurchase the asset at a price so favorable to the transferee that it is probable the repurchase will occur.

If sale accounting is met, the transferred financial asset is removed from the balance sheet and a net gain or loss is recognized upon sale, taking into account any retained interests. Transfers of financial assets that do not meet the criteria for sale are accounted for as financing transactions, or secured borrowing.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and included in other assets or other liabilities on a gross basis on the balance sheet. The accounting for changes in fair value of derivatives depends upon whether or not the Company has elected to designate the derivative in a hedging relationship and the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company has economic hedges that have not been designated for hedge accounting.

Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are recorded in the statement of operations in other gain (loss), net.

For designated accounting hedges, the relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the accounting hedges as well as the methods to assess the effectiveness of the derivative prospectively and retrospectively, are formally documented at inception. Hedge effectiveness relates to the amount by which the gain or loss on the designated derivative instrument exactly offsets the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. If it is determined that a derivative is not expected to be or has ceased to be highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Cash Flow Hedges—The Company uses interest rate caps and swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations in forecasted interest payments on floating rate debt. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, while hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. If the derivative in a cash flow hedge is terminated or the hedge designation is removed, related amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings.

Net Investment Hedges—The Company uses foreign currency hedges to protect the value of its net investments in foreign subsidiaries or equity method investees whose functional currencies are not U.S. dollars. Changes in the fair value of derivatives used as hedges of net investment in foreign operations, to the extent effective, are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

At the end of each quarter, the Company reassesses the effectiveness of its net investment hedges and as appropriate, dedesignates the portion of the derivative notional amount that is in excess of the beginning balance of its net investments as undesignated hedges.

(Unaudited)

Release of accumulated other comprehensive income related to net investment hedges occurs upon losing a controlling financial interest in an investment or obtaining control over an equity method investment. Upon sale, complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign subsidiary, or partial sale of an equity method investment, the gain or loss on the related net investment hedge is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings. Refer to Note 15, “Derivatives” for further discussion on the Company’s derivative and hedging activity.

Financing Costs

Financing costs primarily include debt discounts and premiums as well as deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing. Costs related to revolving credit facilities are recorded in other assets and are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Costs related to other borrowings are recorded net against the carrying value of such borrowings and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed to realized gain (loss) when the associated facility is repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions, which do not close, are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not occur.

Revenue Recognition

Property Operating Income

Property operating income includes the following:

Rental Income—Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the related lease which includes the effects of minimum rent increases and rent abatements under the lease. Rents received in advance are deferred.

When it is determined that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, is capitalized. For tenant improvements owned by the Company, the amount funded by or reimbursed by the tenants are recorded as deferred revenue, which is amortized on a straight-line basis as additional rental income over the term of the related lease. Rental income recognition commences when the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use and the tenant takes possession of the leased space.

When it is determined that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company’s contribution towards those improvements is recorded as a lease incentive, included in deferred leasing costs and intangible assets on the balance sheet, and amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of the lease space.

Tenant Reimbursements—In net lease arrangements, the tenant is generally responsible for operating expenses related to the property, including real estate taxes, property insurance, maintenance, repairs and improvements. Costs reimbursable from tenants and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period the recoverable costs are incurred. When the Company is the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services for property operations and has discretion in selecting the supplier and retains credit risk, tenant reimbursement revenue and property operating expenses are presented on a gross basis in the statements of operations. For certain triple net leases where the lessee self-manages the property, hires its own service providers and retains credit risk for routine maintenance contracts, no reimbursement revenue and expense are recognized.

Hotel Operating Income—Hotel operating income includes room revenue, food and beverage sales and other ancillary services. Revenue is recognized upon occupancy of rooms, consummation of sales and provision of services.

Real Estate Securities

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method with any premium or discount amortized or accreted through earnings based on expected cash flow through the expected maturity date of the security. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews, and if appropriate, adjusts its cash flow projections based on inputs and analyses received from external sources, internal models, and the Company’s judgment about prepayment rates, the timing and amount of credit losses and other factors. Changes in the amount or timing of cash flows from those originally projected, or from those estimated at the last evaluation date, are considered to be either favorable changes or adverse changes.

Table of Contents

BRIGHTSPIRE CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Adverse changes in the timing or amount of cash flows on CRE securities could result in the Company recording an increase in the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses are calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and is measured as the difference between the amortized cost of a CRE security and estimate of cash flows expected to be collected discounted at the effective interest rate used to accrete the CRE security. The allowance for credit losses is recorded as a contra-asset and a reduction in earnings. The allowance for credit losses will be limited to the amount of the unrealized losses on the CRE securities. Any allowance for credit losses in excess of the unrealized losses on the CRE securities are accounted for as a prospective reduction of the effective interest rate. No allowance is recorded for CRE securities in an unrealized gain position. Favorable changes in the discounted cash flow will result in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses, if any. Any reduction in allowance for credit losses is recorded in earnings. If the allowance for credit losses has been reduced to zero, the remaining favorable changes are reflected as a prospective increase to the effective interest rate.

As of April 1, 2020, the Company placed its investment grade and non-investment grade rated CRE securities on cost recovery and as a result, ceased accretion of any discounts to expected maturity and applied any cash interest received against the CRE securities amortized cost basis. Refer to Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further discussion.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency for which the functional currency is a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and the corresponding results of operations for such entities are translated using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity. Upon sale, complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign subsidiary, or upon partial sale of a foreign equity method investment, the translation adjustment associated with the investment, or a proportionate share related to the portion of equity method investment sold, is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into earnings.

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency for which the functional currency is the U.S. dollar are remeasured using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and the corresponding results of operations for such entities are remeasured using the average exchange rate in effect during the period. The resulting foreign currency remeasurement adjustments are recorded in other gain (loss), net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Disclosures of non-U.S. dollar amounts to be recorded in the future are translated using exchange rates in effect at the date of the most recent balance sheet presented.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-classified stock awards granted to executive officers and both independent and non-independent directors are based on the closing price of the Class A common stock on the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards for restricted stock awards. For performance stock units (“PSUs”) the fair value is based on a Monte Carlo simulation as of the grant date and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the measurement period. See Note 11, “Equity-Based Compensation” for further discussion.

The compensation expense is adjusted for actual forfeitures upon occurrence. Equity-based compensation is classified within administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) using the two-class method. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings allocated to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings attributable to certain participating securities, if any, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares and the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company has certain share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends, which are considered participating securities for the purposes of computing EPS pursuant to the two-class method.

Income Taxes

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2018. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the real

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(Unaudited)

estate qualification of sources of its income, the real estate composition and values of its assets, the amounts it distributes to stockholders and the diversity of ownership of its stock.

To the extent that the Company qualifies as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders. The Company believes that all of the criteria to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification have been met for the applicable periods, but there can be no assurance that these criteria will continue to be met in subsequent periods. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and potential interest and penalties, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distributions to its stockholders. The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest and penalties is to classify these amounts as a component of income tax expense, where applicable.

The Company may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, U.S. federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Company also holds investments in Europe which are subject to tax in each local jurisdiction.

The Company made joint elections to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which may be subject to taxation by U.S. federal, state and local authorities. In general, a TRS of the Company may perform non-customary services for tenants, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and engage in most real estate or non-real estate-related business.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to taxation by U.S. federal, state and local authorities for the periods presented. Income taxes are accounted for by the asset/liability approach in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Deferred taxes, if any, represent the expected future tax consequences when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Such amounts arise from differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax laws and tax rates in the period during which such changes are enacted. A provision for income tax represents the total of income taxes paid or payable for the current period, plus the change in deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recorded on the portion of earnings (losses) recognized by the Company with respect to its interest in TRSs. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences between the Company’s U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements and the U.S. federal, state and local tax basis of assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets (e.g., net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards) and recognizes a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers estimates of expected future taxable income, existing and projected book/tax differences, tax planning strategies available and the general and industry-specific economic outlook. This realizability analysis is inherently subjective, as it requires the Company to forecast its business and general economic environment in future periods. Changes in estimate of deferred tax asset realizability, if any, are included in income tax benefit (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an income tax ~~benefit of $0.1 million and income tax~~ expense of $2.1 million and an income tax benefit of $15.4 million, respectively. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an income tax ~~benefit and~~ expense of ~~$1.9~~$0.1 million and ~~$3.8~~income tax benefit of $11.5 million, respectively.

Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) reserve

The CECL reserve for the Company’s financial instruments carried at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loans, loan commitments and trade receivables represents a lifetime estimate of expected credit losses. Factors considered by the Company when determining the CECL reserve include loan-specific characteristics such as loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio, vintage year, loan term, property type, occupancy and geographic location, financial performance of the borrower, expected payments of principal and interest, as well as internal or external information relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The CECL reserve is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist for multiple financial instruments. If similar risk characteristics do not exist, the Company measures the CECL reserve on an individual instrument basis. The determination of whether a particular financial instrument should be included in a pool can change over time. If a financial asset’s risk characteristics change, the Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to continue to keep the financial instrument in its existing pool or evaluate it individually.

In measuring the CECL reserve for financial instruments that share similar risk characteristics, the Company primarily applies a probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model for instruments that are collectively assessed, whereby the CECL reserve is calculated as the product of PD, LGD and exposure at default (“EAD”). The Company’s model principally utilizes historical loss rates derived from a commercial mortgage backed securities database with historical losses from 1998

through ~~June~~September 2021 provided by a third party, Trepp LLC, forecasting the loss parameters using a scenario-based statistical approach over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of twelve months, followed by a straight-line reversion period of twelve-months back to average historical losses.

For financial instruments assessed outside of the PD/LGD model on an individual basis, including when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the full payment of principal and interest on the instrument, the Company applies a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology. For financial instruments where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Company’s assessment at the reporting date and the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the Company may elect to use as a practical expedient the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date when determining the provision for loan losses.

In developing the CECL reserve for its loans and preferred equity held for investment, the Company considers the risk ranking of each loan and preferred equity as a key credit quality indicator. The risk rankings are based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate performance and asset value, values of comparable properties, durability and quality of property cash flows, sponsor experience and financial wherewithal, and the existence of a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on a five-point scale, the Company’s loans and preferred equity held for investment are rated “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, and the ratings are updated quarterly. At the time of origination or purchase, loans and preferred equity held for investment are ranked as a “3” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

1.Very Low Risk-The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance has exceeded underwritten expectations with very strong net operating income (”(“NOI”), debt service coverage ratio, debt yield and occupancy metrics. Sponsor is investment grade, very well capitalized, and employs very experienced management team.

2.Low Risk-The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance has met or exceeds underwritten expectations with high occupancy at market rents, resulting in consistent cash flow to service the debt. Strong sponsor that is well capitalized with experienced management team.

3.Average Risk-The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance is consistent with underwriting expectations. The property generates adequate cash flow to service the debt, and/or there is enough reserve or loan structure to provide time for sponsor to execute the business plan. Sponsor has routinely met its obligations and has experience owning/operating similar real estate.

4.High Risk/Delinquent/Potential for Loss-The loan is in excess of 30 days delinquent and/or has a risk of a principal loss. The underlying property performance is behind underwritten expectations. Loan covenants may require occasional waivers/modifications. Sponsor has been unable to execute its business plan and local market fundamentals have deteriorated. Operating cash flow is not sufficient to service the debt and debt service payments may be coming from sponsor equity/loan reserves.

5.Impaired/Defaulted/Loss Likely-The loan is in default or a default is imminent, and has a high risk of a principal loss, or has incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectation and sponsor has failed to execute its business plan. The property has significant vacancy and current cash flow does not support debt service. Local market fundamentals have significantly deteriorated resulting in depressed comparable property valuations versus underwriting.

The Company also considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to, economic and business conditions, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, lending terms, volume and severity of past due loans, concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations in its determination of the CECL reserve.

The Company has elected to not measure a CECL reserve for accrued interest receivable as it is reversed against interest income when a loan or preferred equity investment is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans and preferred equity investments are charged off against the provision for loan losses when all or a portion of the principal amount is determined to be uncollectible.

Changes in the CECL reserve for the Company’s financial instruments are recorded in provision for loan losses on the Statement of Operations with a corresponding offset to the loans and preferred equity held for investment or as a component of other liabilities for future loan fundings recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3, “Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment, net” for further detail.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”)—The Company classifies an individual financial instrument as a TDR when it has a reasonable expectation that the financial instrument’s contractual terms will be modified in a manner that grants concession to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions could include term extensions, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, forbearance, or other actions designed to maximize the Company’s collection on the financial instrument. The Company determines the CECL reserve for financial instruments that are TDRs individually.

Accounting Standards adopted in 2021

Income Tax Accounting—In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the guidance for more consistent application. The simplifications relate to intraperiod tax allocations when there is a loss in continuing operations and a gain outside of continuing operations, accounting for tax law or tax rate changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods, recognition of deferred tax liability for outside basis difference when investment ownership changes, and accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The ASU also provides new guidance that clarifies the accounting for transactions resulting in a step-up in tax basis of goodwill, among other changes. Transition is generally prospective, other than the provision related to outside basis difference which is on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings at the beginning of the period adopted, and franchise tax provision which is on either full or modified retrospective. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted in an interim period, to be applied to all provisions. The Company adopted this on January 1, 2021, and the impact was not material.

Accounting for Certain Equity Investments—In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321 Investments-Equity Securities, Topic 323-Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815-Derivatives and Hedging. The ASU clarifies, that if as a result of an observable transaction, an equity investment under the measurement alternative is transitioned into equity method or an equity method investment is transitioned into measurement alternative, then the investment is to be remeasured immediately before and after the transaction, respectively. The ASU also clarifies that certain forward contracts or purchased options to acquire equity securities that are not deemed to be derivatives or in-substance common stock will generally be measured using the fair value principles of ASC 321 before settlement or exercise, and that an entity should not be considering how it will account for the resulting investments upon eventual settlement or exercise. ASU No. 2020-01 is to be applied prospectively, effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted in an interim period. The Company adopted this on January 1, 2021, and the impact was not material.

Future Application of Accounting Standards

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on Entity’s Own Equity— In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU (1) simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments as a single unit of account; (2) allows more contracts on an entity’s own equity to qualify for equity classification and more embedded derivatives to meet the derivative scope exception; and (3) simplifies diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation.

•The guidance eliminates the requirement to separate embedded conversion features in convertible instruments, except for (1) a convertible instrument that contains features requiring bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument that was issued at a substantial premium.

•Under the new guidance, certain conditions under Subtopic ASC 815-40 that may result in contracts being settled in cash rather than shares and therefore preclude (1) equity classification for contracts on an entity’s own equity; and (2) embedded derivatives from qualifying for the derivative scope exception, have been removed; for example, the requirement that equity contracts permit settlement in unregistered shares unless such contracts explicitly require settlement in cash if registered shares are unavailable. The guidance also clarifies that freestanding contracts on an entity’s own equity that do not qualify for equity classification under the indexation criteria (ASC 815-4015) or settlement criteria (ASC 815-40-25) are to be measured at fair value through earnings, even if they do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815.

•The ASU also amends certain guidance on computation of diluted EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity that results in a more dilutive EPS, including (1) requiring the if converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments (the treasury stock method is no longer available), and (2) removing the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for contracts that may be settled in cash or stock and that are not liability classified share based payments.

•Expanded disclosures are required, including but not limited to, (1) terms and features of convertible instruments and contracts on entity’s own equity; and (2) information about events, conditions, and circumstances that could affect amount or timing of future cash flows related to these instruments or contracts; and in the period of adoption (3) nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle; and (4) effects of the change on EPS.

Upon adoption, a one-time election may be made to apply the fair value option for any liability-classified convertible securities.

Adoption of the new standard may be made either on a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, with cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this new guidance.

Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments— In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05. The guidance in ASU 2021-05 amends the lease classification requirements for the lessors under certain leases containing variable payments to align with practice under ASC 840. Under the guidance, the lessor should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: 1) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3; and 2) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. The amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this new guidance.

Modifications of equity-classified written call options— In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 Modification of equity-classified written call options — Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options — to codify how an issuer should account for modifications made to equity-classified written call options (a warrant to purchase the issuer’s common stock). The guidance in the ASU requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant that does not cause the warrant to become liability-classified as an exchange whether structured as an amendment or reissuance and is effective for all periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this new guidance.

Credit Quality Monitoring

Loan and preferred equity investments are typically loans secured by direct senior priority liens on real estate properties or by interests in entities that directly own real estate properties, which serve as the primary source of cash for the payment of principal and interest. The Company evaluates its loan and preferred equity investments at least quarterly and differentiates the relative credit quality principally based on: (i) whether the borrower is currently paying contractual debt service in accordance with its contractual terms; and (ii) whether the Company believes the borrower will be able to perform under its contractual terms in the future, as well as the Company’s expectations as to the ultimate recovery of principal at maturity.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~there was 1 senior loan and preferred equity investment past due and~~ all ~~remaining~~ loans were performing in accordance with the contractual terms of their governing documents and were categorized as performing loans. There were 0no loans held for investment with contractual payments past due as of December 31, 2020. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, 0no debt investment contributed more than 10.0% of interest income.

Los Angeles, California Mixed-Use ~~Project~~Project—Third Party $275 million Construction Mezzanine Loan Upsize and Retained B-Participation Investment

~~July 9, 2021 Maturity Default and~~ Risk of Foreclosure and Maturity Default (see Historical Details below)

On July 9, 2021, the borrower failed to pay the principal balance of the Upsized Mezzanine Loan (as defined below) and senior mortgage loan or meet other tests for extension of ~~such~~the maturity date. The Senior Mezzanine Lender (as defined below) and senior mortgage lender each delivered reservation of rights letters to the senior mezzanine borrower and borrower, respectively. The lender parties and borrower have engaged in discussions regarding the current status of the sale of the hotel and the completion of the tower condominiums and anticipated tower condominium sales projections. Since the new capital investment of $275 million was made on September 1, 2020, there have been ~~further~~ additional hard and soft costs overruns which are not supported by current commitments or reserves at the Mixed-use ~~Project.

In October 2021, in addition to ~~maintain~~ the ~~nonaccrual status~~recent protective advances, the entire senior mortgage loan (with a total funding commitment of approximately $1.0 billion) was acquired at par by an affiliate of the Senior Mezzanine Lender (collectively, the “Senior Lender Group”). Since this acquisition, the senior mortgage commenced bearing interest at the default rate of approximately 11%. Given the Senior Lender Group’s consolidation of indebtedness, needed additional fundings and ~~fair value loss adjustment on the proportionate share of~~their preparedness to exercise any and all remedies, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender’s (as defined below) inability to reach a feasible restructuring agreement could result in the Senior Lender Group foreclosing on the Company’s mezzanine B-participation investment. ~~During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there was no change in accrual status or fair value.~~

As a result during the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Mixed-use Project recorded fair value losses totaling $268.5 million.

The Mixed-use Project did not recognize any interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Mixed-use Project’s total interest income was $13.8 million. The Company recognized its proportionate share of ~~$97.9 million at June~~interest income for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2020 of $2.4 million.

Historical Details

The Company’s mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment in a development project in Los Angeles County, which includes a hospitality and retail renovation and a new condominium tower construction (the “Mixed-use Project”), was converted into a mezzanine participation during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company’s investment was made through a joint venture with affiliates of the Company’s Manager (the “CLNY Mezzanine Lender”) in the form of a $574.0 million commitment to the Mixed-use Project, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the commitment is $189.0 million.

In April 2020, the senior mortgage lender notified the borrower developer that the Mixed-use Project loan funding was over budget, due to cost overruns from certain hard and soft costs and senior loan interest reserve shortfalls projected through completion. As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company and its affiliates made ~~two~~2 protective advances to the senior mortgage lender totaling $69.1 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share was $28.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company placed the mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment on nonaccrual status.

In June 2020, the senior mortgage lender sought a third protective advance of $15.5 million of which the Company’s proportionate share would have been $7.0 million. While the Company and its affiliates did not fund its proportionate share, the senior mortgage lender funded the full amount of the required June advances. The senior mortgage lenders funding did not relieve the Company and its affiliates from its commitment to fund. As a result during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Mixed-use Project’s recorded fair value losses totaling $250.0 million. The Company recognized its proportionate share of fair value losses equaling $89.3 million. The Mixed-use Project’s fair value was based on a weighted average probability analysis of potential resolutions based on a number of factors which included the maturity default of the loan, cost overruns, COVID-19 related delays, lack of funding by the borrower and recent negotiations with the senior lender, the borrower and potential sources of additional mezzanine financing.

In September 2020, in cooperation with the borrower and the EB-5 lender, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender and senior mortgage lender secured $275 million of additional mezzanine financing from a third-party mezzanine lender (the “Senior Mezzanine Lender”). To consummate the new mezzanine financing, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender simplified its investment interest by converting its existing preferred equity principal and accrued interest into the existing mezzanine loan, transferred the mezzanine loan to the Senior Mezzanine Lender, who subsequently increased the mezzanine loan amount by $275 million to a $821 million total mezzanine loan (the “Upsized Mezzanine Loan”). The Senior Mezzanine Lender holds a $275 million A-participation and the CLNY Mezzanine Lender (including the Company’s interest) continues to hold a $546 million B-participation interest in the Upsized Mezzanine Loan at the Mixed-use Project.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale

On July 19, 2021, the Company reached an agreement to sell the 5 co-investment assets to managed vehicles of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), for gross proceeds of $223 million (the “Co-Invest Portfolio Sale”). Per generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is required to value these assets at the lower of cost or fair market value. As of June 30, 2021, to reflect the cash the Company expects to receive from the sale, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment loss adjustments on 1 senior mortgage loan for a fully entitled land acquisition for a mixed use development project in Dublin, Ireland for $32.8 million, 1 mezzanine loan secured by single family development projects in Rolling Hills, California for $1.4 million and 1 mezzanine loan secured by a mixed use development project in San Rafael, California for $1.3 million, totaling a loss of $35.5 million, of which $32.0 million was allocated to the Company and $3.5 million was allocated to the Company’s partner in the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.” Additionally, the Company expects to record an offsetting gain on the other 2 co-investment assets totaling approximately $27.4 million upon the closing of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, third-party consents and purchase price adjustments, resulting in an expected total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs. We can offer no assurances that the transaction will close as expected or at all or the actual amount of any loss or gain realized by the Company in connection with the sale.

(1)All CMBS are fixed rate.

(2)The Company placed all of its CRE securities on cost recovery status as of April 1, 2020.

Consistent with the overall market, the Company’s CRE securities, which it marks to fair value, lost significant value since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company will evaluate selling its non-investment grade rated CRE security over the next twelve months, it is more likely than not that the Company will sell before recovery. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company wrote down through earnings the amortized cost basis for securities in which the fair value dropped below the amortized cost basis, realizing a loss of $1.0 million. The loss was recorded in other gain (loss), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1 CRE security for a total gross sales price of $5.1 million and realized a gain of $0.1 million. The gain was recorded in other gain (loss), net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 the Company had 1 remaining CRE security, which is on cost recovery, and as a result has ceased accretion of any discounts to expected maturity and applied any cash interest received against the CRE security’s carrying value. This decision was made given the inability to project future cash flows. CRE securities serve as collateral for financing transactions for the CMBS Credit Facilities (refer to Note 9, “Debt,” for further detail).

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1 CRE security for $5.1 million in gross proceeds and will recognize a gain of approximately $1.2 million. Following the sale, the Company no longer holds any CRE securities.

Investments in Investing VIEs

The Company is the directing certificate holder of 1 securitization trust and has the ability to appoint and replace the special servicer on all mortgage loans. As such, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to consolidate the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the securitization trusts as Investing VIEs. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion on Investing VIEs.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $32.0 million and realized losses of $23.4 million. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of 1 securitization trust for $28.7 million in total proceeds. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $19.5 million. The Company also recognized a realized loss of $19.5 million ~~for~~when the ~~three~~accumulated losses related to the retained investment were reversed and ~~six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company also recognized unrealized gains of $19.5 million~~subsequently recorded to realized loss on mortgage loans and ~~$28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.~~obligations held in securitization trusts, net. The Company deconsolidated the securitization trust with gross assets and liabilities of approximately $830.9 million and $802.2 million, respectively, which excludes accrued interest receivable and payable amounts of $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Other than the securities represented by the Company’s subordinate tranches of the securitization trust, the Company does not have any claim to the assets or exposure to the liabilities of the securitization trust. The original issuers, who are unrelated third parties, guarantee the interest and principal payments related to the investment grade securitization bonds in the securitization trust, therefore these obligations do not have any recourse to the general credit of the Company as the consolidator of the securitization trust. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss would not exceed the carrying value of its retained investments in the securitization trusts, or the subordinate tranches of the securitization trust.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the mortgage loans and the related mortgage obligations held in the securitization trust had an unpaid principal balance of ~~$912.1~~$840.3 million and ~~$872.6~~$800.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the mortgage loans and the related mortgage obligations held in the securitization trusts had an unpaid principal balance of $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the underlying collateral of the securitization trust consisted of 6563 underlying commercial mortgage loans, with a weighted average coupon of 4.9% and a weighted average loan to value ratio of ~~61.6%~~60.9%.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets attributable to the securitization trust as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

The rental properties owned at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are leased under noncancellable operating leases with current expirations ranging from ~~2022~~2021 to 2038, with certain tenant renewal rights. For certain properties, the tenants pay the Company, in addition to the contractual base rent, their pro rata share of real estate taxes and operating expenses. Certain lease agreements provide for periodic rental increases and others provide for increases based on the consumer price index.

Lease Concessions

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, some tenants sought and others may seek more flexible payment terms and the Company has and will engage with affected tenants on a case-by-case basis. For lease concessions resulting directly from the impact of COVID-19 that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee, for example, where total payments required by the modified contract will be substantially the same as or less than the original contract, the Company made a policy election to account for the concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the lease contracts, under a relief provided by the FASB. Under the relief, the concessions will not be treated as lease modifications that are accounted for over the remaining term of the respective leases, as the Company believes this would not accurately reflect the temporary economic effect of the concessions. Instead, (i) rent deferrals that meet the criteria will be treated as if no changes were made to the lease contract, with continued recognition of lease income and receivables under the original terms of the contract; and (ii) rent forgiveness that meets the criteria will be accounted for as variable lease payments in the affected periods.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Ground Lease Obligation

In connection with real estate acquisitions, the Company assumed certain noncancellable operating ground leases as lessee or sublessee with expiration dates through 2055.

Underlying collateral loans have initial terms of two to three years.

(4)As of June 17, 2021, the benchmark index interest rate was converted from LIBOR to compounded SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points.

(5)The current maturity date is October 2021 and was subsequently extended to November 2021.

Advances under the Bank Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the applicable borrower’s election, either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25%, or a base rate determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate plus a margin of 1.25%. The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.35% per annum of the unused amount (0.35%) at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, depending upon the amount of facility utilization.

Substantially all material wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the obligations of the Company and any other borrowers under the Bank Credit Facility. As security for the advances under the Bank Credit Facility, the Company pledged substantially all equity interests it owns and granted a security interest in deposit accounts in which the proceeds of investment asset distributions are maintained.

The Bank Credit Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth, liquidity levels and financial ratios, as specified in the Bank Credit Facility.

On April 5, 2021, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to its Bank Credit Facility to: (i) permit the OP to consummate the Internalization; (ii) reduce the minimum tangible net worth covenant requirement from $1.5 billion to $1.35 billion upon consummation of the Internalization; (iii) increase the Company’s ability to make restricted payments including additional dividends and stock buybacks and remove all material restrictions on new investments, in each case, so long as no default exists and the OP is in compliance with the financial covenants; (iv) increase the maximum amount available for borrowing from 90% to 100% of borrowing base value; and (v) reduce the aggregate amount of lender commitments from $450.0 million to $300.0 million. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Securitization Financing Transactions

Securitization bonds payable, net represent debt issued by securitization vehicles consolidated by the Company. Senior notes issued by these securitization trusts were generally sold to third parties and subordinated notes retained by the Company. Payments from underlying collateral loans must be applied to repay the notes until fully paid off, irrespective of the contractual maturities of the loans.

CLNC 2019-FL1

In October 2019, the Company executed a securitization transaction, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, CLNC 2019-FL1, Ltd. and CLNC 2019-FL1, LLC (collectively, “CLNC 2019-FL1”), which resulted in the sale of $840.4 million of investment grade notes. The securitization reflects an advance rate of 83.5% at a weighted average cost of funds of ~~LIBOR~~SOFR plus 1.59% (before transaction expenses), and is collateralized by a pool of 24 senior ~~loans originated~~loan investments.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that LIBOR tenors relevant to CLNC 2019-FL1 would cease to be published or no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) interpreted this announcement to constitute a benchmark transition event. As of June 17, 2021, the benchmark index interest rate was converted from LIBOR to SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points with a lookback period equal to the number of calendar days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period plus two SOFR business days, conforming with the indenture agreement and recommendations from the ARRC. Compounded SOFR for any interest accrual period shall be the “30-Day Average SOFR” as published by the ~~Company.~~Federal Reserve Bank of New York on each benchmark determination date.

CLNC 2019-FL1 ~~includes~~included a two-year reinvestment feature that ~~allows us~~allowed the Company to contribute existing or newly originated loan investments in exchange for proceeds from repayments or repurchases of loans held in CLNC 2019-FL1, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the indenture. In addition to existing eligible loans available for reinvestment, the continued origination of securitization eligible loans is required to ensure that the Company reinvests the available proceeds within CLNC 2019-FL1. The reinvestment period for CLNC 2019-FL1 expired on October 19, 2021 and principal proceeds from underlying loans will be used to amortize the securitization bonds payable going forward.

The securitization reflects an advance rate of 83.75% at a weighted costs of funds of LIBOR plus 1.49% (before transaction costs), and is collateralized by a pool of 31 floating-rate mortgages secured by 41 properties. The asset collateral is located across 11 states and primarily consists of multifamily properties, with the remainder collateralized by office and self-storage properties.

Additionally, BRSP 2021-FL1 contains note protection tests that can be triggered as a result of contributed loan defaults, losses, and certain other events outlined in the indenture, beyond established thresholds. A note protection test failure that is not remedied can result in the redirection of interest proceeds from the below investment grade tranches to amortize the most senior outstanding tranche.

senior loan participations secured by CRE debt investments (“Master Repurchase Facilities”). The Company agreed to guarantee certain obligations under the Master Repurchase Facilities, which contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. The Master Repurchase Facilities act as revolving loan facilities that can be paid down as assets are repaid or sold and re-drawn upon for new investments. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Master Repurchase Facilities.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$1.3 billion~~$752.1 million carrying value of CRE debt investments financed with ~~$1.0 billion~~$558.5 million under the master repurchase facilities.

On May 7, 2020, the Company amended all 6 of its Master Repurchase Facilities to reduce the minimum tangible net worth covenant consistent with the Bank Credit Facility. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company received and timely paid a margin call on a hospitality loan and made voluntarily paydowns on 2 other hospitality and 1 retail loan. The lender granted the Company a holiday from future margin calls for four months, and it obtained broader discretion to enter into permitted modifications with the borrowers on these 3 specific loans, if necessary.

In May 2020, the Company amended 2 of its Master Repurchase Facilities pursuant to which the Company reduced facility advances corresponding to 10 senior mortgage loans financed under such facilities. The Company and its lender counterparties agreed to temporary modifications providing for margin holidays from future margin calls or buffers before further margin calls are possible, as well as providing additional protections before certain repurchase obligations may be triggered. The Company was also provided broader discretion to negotiate with its borrowers to implement certain modifications to the underlying loans during such period. These holiday periods expired in the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, during the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2020, the Company made voluntarily paydowns on a hospitality loan and a self-storage loan, respectively. In exchange for the paydown on the self-storage loan, the lender granted the Company a holiday from future margin calls for four months, and the Company obtained broader approval to enter into a permitted modification with the borrower.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an amendment under its Master Repurchase Facility with Bank 3 and Bank 7 to extend the maturity date by two years and three years, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an amendment under its Master Repurchase Facility with Bank 1, Bank 8 and Bank 89 to extend the maturity date by three years, two years and two and a half years, respectively.

Management Agreement

On January 31, 2018, the Company and the OP entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager managed the Company’s assets and its day-to-day operations. The Manager was responsible for, among other matters, (1) the selection, origination, acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s portfolio investments, (2) the Company’s financing activities and (3) providing the Company with investment advisory services. The Manager was also responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations and performed (or would cause to be performed) such services and activities relating to the Company’s investments and business and affairs as may be appropriate. The Management Agreement required the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs in conformity with the investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by the Board of Directors. Each of the Company’s executive officers was also an employee of the Manager or its affiliates. The Manager’s role as Manager was under the supervision and direction of the Company’s Board of Directors.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

The initial term of the Management Agreement expired on the third anniversary of the closing date of the Combination, January 31, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), and would be automatically renewed for a one-year term each anniversary date thereafter unless earlier terminated as described below. The Company’s independent directors reviewed the Manager’s performance and the fees that may be payable to the Manager annually and, following the initial term, the Management Agreement could be terminated if there was an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors determining that (1) there had been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or (2) the compensation payable to the Manager, in the form of base management fees and incentive fees taken as a whole, or the amount thereof, was not fair to the Company, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting reduced compensation as agreed to by at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors. The Company was required to provide the Manager 180 days’ prior written notice of any such termination.

The Company could also terminate the Management Agreement for cause (as defined in the Management Agreement) at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, with at least 30 days’ prior written notice from the Company’s Board of Directors. Unless terminated for cause, the Manager would be paid a termination fee as described below. The Manager could terminate the Management Agreement if the Company was required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event, in which case the Company would not be required to pay a termination fee. The Manager could have declined to renew the Management Agreement by providing the Company with 180 days’ prior written notice, in which case the Company would not be required to pay a termination fee. The Manager could also terminate the Management Agreement with at least 60 days’ prior written notice if the Company breached the Management Agreement in any material respect or otherwise was unable to perform its obligations thereunder and the breach continued for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Company, in which case the Manager would be paid a termination fee as described below.

In November 2019, the Manager, the Company and the OP amended and restated the Management Agreement to modify the “Core Earnings” definition, providing that “unrealized provisions for loan losses and real estate impairments” shall only be applied as exclusions from the definition of Core Earnings if approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Company. Such change became effective during the fourth quarter of 2019 and resulted in a reduction to Core Earnings which thereby reduced the annual management fee and any incentive fee paid by the Company due to accumulated unrealized provisions for loan losses and real estate impairments to date.

Internalization

On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the Internalization, including the internalization of the Company’s management and operating functions and terminated its relationship with its Manager, a subsidiary of DigitalBridge, in accordance with the Termination Agreement. The Company paid the Manager a one-time termination fee of $102.3 million and additional closing costs of $0.3 million.

Reimbursement of expenses related to the Company incurred by the Manager, including legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other services were paid on the Company’s behalf by the OP or its designee(s). The Company reimbursed the Manager for the Company’s allocable share of the salaries and other compensation of the Company’s chief financial officer and certain of its affiliates’ non-investment personnel who spent all or a portion of their time managing the Company’s affairs, and the Company’s share of such costs were based upon the percentage of such time devoted by personnel of the Manager (or its affiliates) to the Company’s affairs. The Company may have been required to pay the Company’s pro rata portion of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Manager and its affiliates required for the Company’s operations.

Investment Activity

All investment acquisitions are approved in accordance with the Company’s investment and related party guidelines, which may include approval by either the audit committee or disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors. No investment by the Company will require approval under the related party transaction policy solely because such investment constitutes a co-investment made by and between the Company and any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and one or more investment vehicles formed, sponsored, or managed by an affiliate of the Manager on the other hand.

In July 2017, NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc., a Maryland corporation which merged with and into the Company as part of the Company’s formation transactions (“NorthStar II”), entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of the Manager to make a $60.0 million investment in a $180.0 million mezzanine loan which was originated by such affiliate of the Manager. The transaction was approved by NorthStar II’s board of directors, including all of its independent directors. The investment was purchased by the Company in connection with the Combination. In June 2018, the Company increased its commitment to $101.8 million in connection with the joint venture bifurcating the mezzanine loan into a mezzanine loan and a preferred equity investment. The Company’s interest in both the underlying mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment is 31.8%, and the affiliate entities own the remaining 68.2%. Both the underlying mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment carry a fixed 13.0% interest rate. This investment is recorded in investments in unconsolidated ventures in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In July 2019, the Company increased its commitment in the mezzanine loan from $101.8 million to $189.0 million. The Company’s interest in the upsized mezzanine loan is 45.2% and it carries a fixed 13.0% interest rate. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made its pro-rata share of two protective advances to the senior mortgage lender totaling $28.5 million. The Company placed this investment on nonaccrual status as of April 1, 2020. In September 2020 the Company’s mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment was converted into a mezzanine participation. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures,” for further information.

In July 2018, the Company acquired a $326.8 million Class A office campus located in Norway from an affiliate of the Company’s Manager.

The bonds have a five-year term remaining, and carry a fixed interest rate of 3.91%.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture to invest in a development project for land and a Grade A office building in Ireland. The Company agreed to invest up to $69.9 million of the $139.7 million total commitment. The Company co-invested along with two affiliates of the Manager, with the Company owning 50.0% of the joint venture and the affiliate entities owning the remaining 50.0%. The joint venture invested in a senior mortgage loan of $66.7 million with a fixed interest rate of 12.5% and a maturity date of 3.5 years from origination and common equity. This investment is included as part of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures,” for further information.

The Company agreed to invest up to $162.4 million of the $266.5 million total commitment. The Company co-invested along with two affiliates of the Manager, with the Company owning 61.0% of the joint venture and the affiliate entities owning the remaining 39.0%. The joint venture invested in a senior mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 15.0% and a maturity date of two years from origination. The Company placed this investment on nonaccrual status as of July 1, 2020. This investment is included as part of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures,” for further information.

11. Equity-Based Compensation

On January 29, 2018 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Plan. The 2018 Plan permits the grant of awards with respect to 4.0 million shares of the Class A common stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan. Awards may be granted under the 2018 Plan to (x) the Manager or any employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor (who is a natural person) providing services to the Company, the Manager or their affiliates and (y) any other individual whose

participation in the 2018 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of the Company. The following types of awards may be made under the 2018 Plan, subject to the limitations set forth in the plan: (i) stock options (which may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options); (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted stock awards; (iv) stock units; (v) unrestricted stock awards; (vi) dividend equivalent rights; (vii) performance awards; (viii) annual cash incentive awards; (ix) long-term incentive units; and (x) other equity-based awards.

issuance under the 2018 Plan will not be increased by (i) any shares tendered or withheld in connection with the purchase of shares upon exercise of a stock option, (ii) any shares deducted or delivered in connection with the Company’s tax withholding obligations, or (iii) any shares purchased by the Company with proceeds from stock option exercises. The shares granted in May 2020 to the independent directors of the Company under the 2018 Plan vested in May 2021. The shares granted in June 2021 to the independent directors, and in October to the newly appointed independent director, of the Company under the 2018 Plan vest in May 2022. Shares granted to non-independent directors, officers and the Manager under the 2018 Plan vest ratably in three annual installments.

Restricted Stock—Restricted stock awards relating to the Company’s class A common stock are granted to certain employees of the Manager and independent directors of the Company, with a service condition only and are generally subject to annual time-based vesting in equal tranches over a three-year period. Restricted stock is entitled to dividends declared and paid on the Company’s class A common stock and such dividends are not forfeitable prior to vesting of the award. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the Company’s class A common stock price on grant date and equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite three-year service period. Some employees of the Manager who were granted restricted stock under the 2018 Plan became employees of the Company following the Internalization on April 30, 2021. The shares held by substantially all remaining employees of the Manager vested following the Internalization.

Performance Stock Units (“PSU”)—PSUs are granted to certain employees of the Company and are subject to both a service condition and a performance condition. Following the end of the measurement period for the PSUs, the recipients of PSUs may be eligible to vest in all or a portion of PSUs granted, and be issued a number of shares of the Company’s class A common stock, ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs granted and eligible to vest, to be determined based upon the performance of the Company's class A common stock relative to the Company’s GAAP book value at the end of a two-year measurement period. PSUs also contain dividend equivalent rights which entitle the recipients to a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the shares that are ultimately issued at the end of the measurement period.

Fair value of PSUs, including dividend equivalent rights, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, with the following assumptions:


	2021 Grant
Expected volatility(1)	86.6	%
Risk free rate(2)	0.1	%
Expected dividend yield(3)	0—

(1)Based upon the Company’s historical stock volatility.

(2)Based upon the continuously compounded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield for the term coinciding with the measurement period of the award as of valuation date.

(3)Based upon the dividend yield in place as of the grant date.

Fair value of PSU awards, excluding dividend equivalent rights, is recognized on a straight-line basis over their measurement period as compensation expense, and is subject to reversal if the performance condition is not achieved.

5-Investment Preferred Financing

On June 5, 2020, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a preferred financing arrangement (on a portfolio of 5 underlying Company investment interests) (the “5-Investment Preferred Financing”) from investment vehicles managed by Goldman Sachs (“GS”). The preferred financing provided $200 million of proceeds at closing.

The preferred financing is limited to (i) the Company’s interests in 4 co-investments alongside investment funds managed by affiliates of the Company’s former Manager, each of which are financings on underlying development projects (including residential, office and/or mixed-use components), and (ii) a wholly-owned triple-net industrial distribution center investment leased to a national grocery chain. The preferred financing provides GS a 10% preferred return and certain other minimum returns, as well as a minority interest in future cash flows.

The preferred financing resulted in a reallocation of a portion of stockholders equity to noncontrolling interest, resulting in a $69 million day-one reduction in stockholders equity. The transaction resulted in the Company receiving net liquidity of approximately $170 million, net of approximately $30 million in paydowns under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility. The preferred financing provides the ability to draw down up to $29 million additional commitments from GS for future advances to the portfolio, if any, at the Company’s same advance rate.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

~~BRIGHTSPIRE CAPITAL, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

The preferred financing provides for a disproportionate allocation of profits and losses, and thus each party’s share of earnings or loss is determined using a balance sheet approach known as the HLBV method. Under the HLBV method, earnings and losses are recognized based on the change in each party’s capital account from the beginning of the period in question to the end of the period, adjusting for the effects of distributions and new investments. The entity measures each party’s capital account assuming that the subsidiary was liquidated or sold at book value.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company has drawn-down additional funds of ~~$0.8~~$2.1 million from GS and completed ~~$12.9~~$16.3 million in cash distributions to GS. The noncontrolling interest in investment entities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes ~~$233.7~~$219.6 million representing GS’s investment at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 under the HLBV method.

~~Subsequent to June 30,~~In July 2021, the Company agreed to sell the 4 co-investments within the 5-Investment Preferred Financing. Refer to Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures” ~~and Note 20, “Subsequent Events”~~ for more details on this transaction.

14. Fair Value

Determination of Fair Value

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

PE Investments

The Company accounts for PE Investments at fair value which is determined based on either a valuation model using assumptions for the timing and amount of expected future cash flow for income and realization events for the underlying assets in the funds and discount rate, or pending sales prices, if applicable. This fair value measurement is generally based on unobservable inputs and, as such, is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, unless the PE Investments are valued based on pending sales prices, which are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company considers cash flow and NAV information provided by general partners of the underlying funds (“GP NAV”) and the implied yields of those funds in valuing its PE Investments. The Company also considers the values derived from the valuation model as a percentage of GP NAV, and compares the resulting percentage of GP NAV to precedent transactions, independent research, industry reports as well as pricing from executed purchase and sale agreements related to the disposition of its PE Investments. The Company may, as a result of that comparison, apply a mark-to-market adjustment. The Company has not elected the practical expedient to measure the fair value of its PE Investments using the NAV of the underlying funds.

Real Estate Securities

CRE securities are generally valued using a third-party pricing service or broker quotations. These quotations are not adjusted and are based on observable inputs that can be validated, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain CRE securities may be valued based on a single broker quote, dealer bid or an internal price. Situations where

management applies adjustments based on or using unobservable inputs and would be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Management determines the prices are representative of fair value through a review of available data, including observable inputs, recent transactions as well as its knowledge of and experience in the market.

Investing VIEs

As discussed in Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale,” the Company has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated Investing VIEs. The Investing VIEs are “static,” that is no reinvestment is permitted and there is very limited active management of the underlying assets. The Company is required to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the Investing VIEs are more observable, but in either case, the methodology results in the fair value of the assets of the securitization ~~trusts~~trust being equal to the fair value of their liabilities. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the securitization ~~trusts are~~trust is more observable, since market prices for the liabilities are available from a third-party pricing service or are based on quoted prices provided by dealers who make markets in similar financial instruments. The financial assets of the securitization ~~trusts are~~trust is not readily marketable and their fair value measurement requires information that may be limited in availability.

In determining the fair value of the ~~trusts’~~trust’s financial liabilities, the dealers will consider contractual cash payments and yields expected by market participants. Dealers also incorporate common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the treasury curve or interest rate swap curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular security including coupon, periodic and life caps, collateral type, rate reset period and seasoning or age of the security. The Company’s collateralized

mortgage obligations are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, where a third-party pricing service or broker quotations are available and are based on observable valuation inputs, and as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, where internal price is utilized based on or using unobservable inputs. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the assets of the securitization ~~trusts~~trust are an aggregate value derived from the fair value of the trust’s liabilities, and the Company has determined that the valuation of the trust’s assets in their entirety including its retained interests from the securitizations (eliminated in consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP) should be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments consist of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts that are generally traded over-the-counter, and are valued using a third-party service provider. Quotations on over-the counter derivatives are not adjusted and are generally valued using observable inputs such as contractual cash flows, yield curve, foreign currency rates and credit spreads, and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although credit valuation adjustments, such as the risk of default, rely on Level 3 inputs, these inputs are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

(1)For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized ~~gain~~loss of ~~$4.1~~$2.6 million related to mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, at fair value and an unrealized gain of ~~$24.1~~$34.6 million related to mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts, at fair value.

(2)In April 2021, the Company sold its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of one securitization trust. As a results of the sale, the Company deconsolidated one of the securitization trusts. See Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale” for further information.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow model, comparable precedent transactions and other market information to quantify Level 3 fair value measurements on a recurring basis. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs used in the analysis of PE Investments included discount rates with a range of 11.0% to 12.0% and timing and amount of expected future cash flows. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts included a blended yield of ~~21.7%~~22.2% and a weighted average life of ~~5.8~~5.7 years. As of December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs included yields ranging from 21.1% to 53.7%, respectively, and a weighted average life of 5.0 years. Significant increases or decreases in any one of the inputs described above in isolation may result in significantly different fair value of the financial assets and liabilities using such Level 3 inputs.

During the ~~three and six~~nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $19.5 million and $28.2 million, respectively, on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts, net related to the sale of the retained investments in the subordinate tranches of one securitization trust. Upon the sale in the second quarter of 2021, the accumulated unrealized losses relating to the retained investments were reversed and subsequently recorded to realized loss on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a net unrealized loss of $9.0 million and $28.4 million, respectively, related to mortgage loans held in and mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts, at fair value. These amounts, when incurred, are recorded as unrealized gain (loss) on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

~~For the three and six months ended June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a ~~$19.5~~$23.4 million realized loss on mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, at fair value, which ~~represents the~~is comprised of a $19.5 million loss upon the sale of the Company’s retained interests in the subordinate tranches of one securitization trust. ~~This amount is~~Additionally, the Company recorded asa realized loss ~~on mortgage loans and obligations~~of $3.9 million related to the sale of an underlying loan held ~~in securitization trusts, net~~within one of its retained investments in the ~~consolidated statements~~subordinate tranches of ~~operations.~~another securitization trust, of which the realized loss was previously included in the Company’s loss projections and therefore no fair value write down was required in the third quarter of 2021.

Fair Value Option

The Company may elect to apply the fair value option of accounting for certain of its financial assets or liabilities due to the nature of the instrument at the time of the initial recognition of the investment. The Company elected the fair value option for PE Investments and eligible financial assets and liabilities of its consolidated Investing VIEs because management believes it is a more useful presentation for such investments. The Company determined recording the PE Investments based on the change in fair value of projected future cash flow from one period to another better represents the underlying economics of the respective investment. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for any other eligible financial assets or liabilities.

~~Fair Value~~Master Repurchase Facilities

As of ~~Financial Instruments~~September 30, 2021, the Company, through subsidiaries, had entered into repurchase agreements with multiple global financial institutions to provide an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.1 billion to finance the origination of first mortgage loans and senior loan participations secured by CRE debt investments (“Master Repurchase Facilities”). The Company agreed to guarantee certain obligations under the Master Repurchase Facilities, which contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. The Master Repurchase Facilities act as revolving loan facilities that can be paid down as assets are repaid or sold and re-drawn upon for new investments. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Master Repurchase Facilities.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $752.1 million carrying value of CRE debt investments financed with $558.5 million under the master repurchase facilities.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into an amendment under its Master Repurchase Facility with Bank 1, Bank 8 and Bank 9 to extend the maturity date by three years, two years and two and a half years, respectively.

Subsequent to September 30, 2021 the Company repaid approximately $23.3 million under its master repurchase facilities. Additionally, upon reaching the maturity date of Bank 2 Facility 3 in October 2021 the Company did not exercise any extension options and thus no longer has availability to draw funds.

CMBS Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2021 the Company had entered into 8 master repurchase agreements (collectively the “CMBS Credit Facilities”) to finance CMBS investments. The CMBS Credit Facilities are on a recourse basis and contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. The CMBS Credit Facilities were undrawn as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Investing VIEs

As discussed in Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale,” the Company has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated Investing VIEs. The Investing VIEs are “static,” that is no reinvestment is permitted and there is very limited active management of the underlying assets. The Company is required to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities ~~which~~of the Investing VIEs are more observable, but in either case, the methodology results in the fair value of the assets of the securitization trust being equal to the fair value of their liabilities. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the securitization trust is more observable, since market prices for the liabilities are available from a third-party pricing service or are based on quoted prices provided by dealers who make markets in similar financial instruments. The financial assets of the securitization trust is not readily marketable and their fair value measurement requires information that may be limited in availability.

In determining the fair value of the trust’s financial liabilities, the dealers will consider contractual cash payments and yields expected by market participants. Dealers also incorporate common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the treasury curve or interest rate swap curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular security including coupon, periodic and life caps, collateral type, rate reset period and seasoning or age of the security. The Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, where a third-party pricing service or broker quotations are available and are based on observable valuation inputs, and as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, where internal price is utilized based on or using unobservable inputs. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the assets of the securitization trust are an aggregate value derived from the fair value of the trust’s liabilities, and the Company has determined that the valuation of the trust’s assets in their entirety including its retained interests from the securitizations (eliminated in consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP) should be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ~~respectively.~~

~~Disclosure about~~the Company utilized a discounted cash flow model, comparable precedent transactions and other market information to quantify Level 3 fair value measurements on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs used in the analysis of PE Investments included discount rates with a range of 11.0% to 12.0% and timing and amount of expected future cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts included a blended yield of 22.2% and a weighted average life of 5.7 years. As of December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs included yields ranging from 21.1% to 53.7%, respectively, and a weighted average life of 5.0 years. Significant increases or decreases in any one of the inputs described above in isolation may result in significantly different fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2021. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect fair value, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

~~Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment, Net~~

For loans and preferred equity held for investment, net, fair values were determined: (i) by comparing the current yield to the estimated yield for newly originated loans with similar credit risk or the market yield at which a third party might expect to purchase such investment; or (ii) based on discounted cash flow projections of principal and interest expected to be collected, which includes consideration of the financial ~~standing of the borrower or sponsor as well as operating results of the underlying collateral.

Additionally, the Company recorded a realized loss of $3.9 million related to the sale of an underlying loan held within one of its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of another securitization trust, of which the realized loss was previously included in the Company’s loss projections and ~~as such, are classified as Level 2~~therefore no fair value write down was required in the third quarter of 2021.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for any other eligible financial assets or liabilities.

Investing VIEs

As discussed in Note 5, “Real Estate Securities, Available for Sale,” the Company has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and liabilities of the consolidated Investing VIEs. The Investing VIEs are “static,” that is no reinvestment is permitted and there is very limited active management of the underlying assets. The Company is required to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the Investing VIEs are more observable, but in either case, the methodology results in the fair value of the assets of the securitization trust being equal to the fair value of their liabilities. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the securitization trust is more observable, since market prices for the liabilities are available from a third-party pricing service or are based on quoted prices provided by dealers who make markets in similar financial instruments. The financial assets of the securitization trust is not readily marketable and their fair value measurement requires information that may be limited in availability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table presents financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

(1)For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $2.6 million related to mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, at fair value and an unrealized gain of $34.6 million related to mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts, at fair value.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow model, comparable precedent transactions and other market information to quantify Level 3 fair value measurements on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs used in the analysis of PE Investments included discount rates with a range of 11.0% to 12.0% and timing and amount of expected future cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts included a blended yield of 22.2% and a weighted average life of 5.7 years. As of December 31, 2020, the key unobservable inputs included yields ranging from 21.1% to 53.7%, respectively, and a weighted average life of 5.0 years. Significant increases or decreases in any one of the inputs described above in isolation may result in significantly different fair value of the financial assets and liabilities using such Level 3 inputs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $23.4 million realized loss on mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, at fair value, which is comprised of a $19.5 million loss upon the sale of the Company’s retained interests in the subordinate tranches of one securitization trust. Additionally, the Company recorded a realized loss of $3.9 million related to the sale of an underlying loan held within one of its retained investments in the subordinate tranches of another securitization trust, of which the realized loss was previously included in the Company’s loss projections and therefore no fair value write down was required in the third quarter of 2021.

Fair Value Option

The Company may elect to apply the fair value option of accounting for certain of its financial assets or liabilities due to the nature of the instrument at the time of the initial recognition of the investment. The Company elected the fair value option for PE Investments and eligible financial assets and liabilities of its consolidated Investing VIEs because management believes it is a more useful presentation for such investments. The Company determined recording the PE Investments based on the change in fair value of projected future cash flow from one period to another better represents the underlying economics of the respective investment. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for any other eligible financial assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In addition to the above disclosures regarding financial assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of fair value about all financial instruments. The following disclosure of estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value.

(1)The fair value of other financial instruments not included in this table is estimated to approximate their carrying value.

(2)Excludes future funding commitments of$233.7 million and $163.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2021. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect fair value, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Loans and Preferred Equity Held for Investment, Net

For loans and preferred equity held for investment, net, fair values were determined: (i) by comparing the current yield to the estimated yield for newly originated loans with similar credit risk or the market yield at which a third party might expect to purchase such investment; or (ii) based on discounted cash flow projections of principal and interest expected to be collected, which includes consideration of the financial standing of the borrower or sponsor as well as operating results of the underlying collateral. These fair value measurements of CRE debt are generally based on unobservable inputs and, as such, are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Carrying values of loans and preferred equity held for investment are presented net of allowance for loan losses, where applicable.

Securitization Bonds Payable, Net

The Company’s securitization bonds payable, net bear floating rates of interest. As of September 30, 2021, the Company believes the carrying value approximates fair value. These fair value measurements are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage and Other Notes Payable, Net

For mortgage and other notes payable, net, the Company primarily uses rates currently available with similar terms and remaining maturities to estimate fair value. These measurements are determined using comparable U.S. Treasury rates as of the end of the reporting period. These fair value measurements are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Master Repurchase Facilities

The Company has amounts outstanding under Master Repurchase Facilities. The Master Repurchase Facilities bear floating rates of interest. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company believes the carrying value approximates fair value. These fair value measurements are based on observable inputs, and as such, are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and credit risk, if any, are negligible.

Nonrecurring Fair Values

The Company measures fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting for assets held for sale or write-down of asset values due to impairment.

The following table summarizes assets carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

15. Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and cash payments, the values of which are driven by interest rates, principally relating to the Company’s investments. Additionally, the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative instruments to protect the value or fix certain of these foreign-denominated amounts in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. Derivative instruments used in the Company’s risk management activities may be designated as qualifying hedge accounting relationships designated hedges or non-designated hedges.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

At the end of each quarter, the Company reassesses the effectiveness of its net investment hedges and as appropriate, dedesignates the portion of the derivative notional that is in excess of the beginning balance of its net investments as non-designated hedges. Any unrealized gain or loss on the dedesignated portion of net investment hedges is transferred into earnings, recorded in other gain (loss), net. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, 0no gain (loss) was transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company enters into agreements subject to enforceable netting arrangements with its derivative counterparties that allow the Company to offset the settlement of derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by derivative instrument type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset all derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. The Company has elected not to net derivative asset and liability positions, notwithstanding the conditions for right of offset may have been met. The Company presents derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation and Claims

The Company may be involved in litigation and claims in the ordinary course of the business. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Internalization

During the ~~three months ended June 30,~~second quarter of 2021, the Company finalized the internalization with its Manager. The Company entered into the Termination Agreement with its Manager pursuant to which the Management Agreement terminated effective April 30, 2021, and the Company will no longer pay base management fees or incentive fees with respect to any period thereafter and made a one-time cash payment of $102.3 million to the Manager.

Employment contracts

At March 31, 2021, the Company did not employ any personnel. Instead, the Company relied on the resources of its Manager and affiliates to conduct the Company’s operations. On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and certain of the Company’s senior management team, and in accordance with the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company extended offers of employment to certain employees that have contributed substantially to the Company’s investment, underwriting, portfolio and asset management, loan servicing, financial reporting, treasury, legal, tax, credit, risk and compliance responsibilities employment, which have been accepted.

17. Segment Reporting

Since the third quarter of 2019, the Company conducted its business through the following 2 portfolios and accompanying operating segments: the Core Portfolio, which consisted of the loan portfolio, CRE debt securities, net leased real estate and corporate; and the Legacy, Non-Strategic Portfolio segment, which consisted of direct investments in operating real estate, private equity investments, certain retail and other loans, as well as corporate-level asset management and other fees. Since then, the Company has resolved 56 investments in the Legacy, Non-Strategic Portfolio and the remaining Legacy, Non-Strategic Portfolio net asset value represented less than 1% of the total net book value at the end of 2020. As such, the Company has dissolved the separate segment reporting of the Legacy, Non-Strategic Portfolio segment as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2021. Prior periods have been recast to reflect these reportable segments for all periods presented.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company realigned the business and reportable segment information to reflect how the CODM regularly review and manage the business. As a result, the Company presents its business as one portfolio and the following business segments:

•Senior and Mezzanine Loans and Preferred Equity—CRE debt investments including senior mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity interests as well as participations in such loans. The segment also includes ADC loan arrangements accounted for as equity method investments.

•Net Leased and Other Real Estate—direct investments in CRE with long-term leases to tenants on a net lease basis,

where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance, capital expenditures and real estate taxes. It also includes other real estate, currently consisting of three investments with direct ownership in commercial real estate with an emphasis on properties with stable cash flow.

•CRE Debt Securities—investments currently consisting of BBB and some BB rated CMBS (including Non-Investment Grade “B-pieces” of a CMBS securitization pool), or CRE CLOs (including the junior tranches thereof, collateralized by pools of CRE debt investments). It also includes two sub-portfolios of private equity funds.

•Corporate—includes corporate-level asset management and other fees including expenses related to the Bank Credit Facility, related party and general and administrative expenses.

There were no changes in the structure of the Company’s internal organization that prompted the change in reportable segments. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. Accordingly, the Company realigned the discussion and analysis of its portfolio and results of operations to reflect these reportable segments.

The Company primarily generates revenue from net interest income on the loan, preferred equity and securities portfolios, rental and other income from its net leased, hotel, multi-tenant office, and multifamily real estate assets, as well as equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures. CRE debt securities include the Company’s investment in the subordinate tranches of the securitization trusts which are eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s income is primarily derived through the difference between revenue and the cost at which the Company is able to finance its investments. The Company may also acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage.

Dividends

On ~~July~~October 15, 2021, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of ~~$0.14~~$0.16 per share of Class A common stock for the quarter ending ~~June~~September 30, 2021, to stockholders of record on ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Loan Originations

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, which are included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as the information contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Introduction

We are a commercial real estate (“CRE”) credit real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on originating, acquiring, financing and managing a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of CRE debt investments and net leased properties predominantly in the United States. CRE debt investments primarily consist of first mortgage loans, which we expect to be our primary investment strategy. Additionally, we may also selectively originate mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments, which may include profit participations. The mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments may be in conjunction with our origination of corresponding first mortgages on the same properties. Net leased properties consist of CRE properties with long-term leases to tenants on a net-lease basis, where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance capital expenditures and real estate taxes. We will continue to target net leased equity investments on a selective basis. Additionally, we currently have investments in CRE debt securities primarily consisting of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) (including “B-pieces” of a CMBS securitization pool) or CRE collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) (including the junior tranches collateralized by pools of CRE debt investments). We have continued to reduce our CMBS holdings since the second quarter of 2020, and have one CMBS security available for sale in addition to our “B-pieces” of a CMBS securitization pool at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Any future investments in CRE debt securities would be selective and opportunistic.

We were organized in the state of Maryland on August 23, 2017 and maintain key offices in New York, New York and Los Angeles, California. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. We conduct all our activities and hold substantially all our assets and liabilities through our operating subsidiary, BrightSpire Capital Operating Company, LLC (formerly known as Credit RE Operating Company, LLC, the “OP”). At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we owned 97.7% of the OP, as its sole managing member. The remaining 2.3% is owned as noncontrolling interests.

The Internalization

On April 30, 2021, we completed the internalization of the Company’s management and operating functions and terminated our relationship with CLNC Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), a subsidiary of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (“DigitalBridge”), formerly known as Colony Capital, Inc., in accordance with that termination agreement dated April 4, 2021 between the Company, the OP, the Manager and Colony Capital Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Termination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the “Internalization”). We have paid the Manager a one-time termination fee of $102.3 million. Therefore, we will no longer pay management or incentive fees to the Manager for any post-closing period and we have assumed general and administrative expenses directly. We anticipate a savings in operating costs as a result of the Internalization. Further, in connection with the Internalization, certain affiliates of ours and the Manager entered into a transition services agreement to facilitate an orderly internalization transition of the management of our operations and, in addition, we will provide affiliates of the Manager with certain limited transition services.

Our executive team remains unchanged, including Michael J. Mazzei, Chief Executive Officer and President; Andrew E. Witt, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President; Frank V. Saracino, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President; David A. Palamé, General Counsel, Secretary and Executive Vice President; George Kok, Chief Credit Officer; and Daniel Katz, Head of Originations. As a result of the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, DigitalBridge no longer has affiliated representatives on our board of directors. The Company’s board of directors is comprised of ~~five~~six members, including our ~~four~~five incumbent independent directors, led by Catherine D. Rice, our Independent Chairperson, Vernon Schwartz, John Westerfield, ~~and~~ Winston W. Wilson and Kim S. Diamond who was recently appointed during the fourth quarter of 2021, and Michael J. Mazzei, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. Additionally, certain professionals that have contributed substantially to our investment, underwriting, portfolio and asset management, loan servicing, financial reporting, treasury, legal, tax, credit, risk and compliance responsibilities seamlessly moved forward as direct employees of the Company.

Our senior management team has extensive experience managing and investing in our target assets and other real estate-related investments through a variety of credit cycles and market conditions. The clarity in organizational structure and dedicated management and employee base achieved through the Internalization solidifies the footprint and corresponding network developed by our investment and asset management teams, with proprietary market knowledge, sourcing capabilities and the local presence required to identify, execute and manage new originations and existing investments on behalf of the Company. Our real estate investment platform and relationships allow us to source, underwrite, structure and manage investment opportunities as well as to access debt and equity capital to fund our operations. We have fully integrated investment and

portfolio management, finance and administration functions, including legal, compliance, human resources, investor relations, asset valuation, credit and risk management and information technology services. The Company has a captive, fully functional, asset management company that engages primarily in loan servicing for performing, sub-performing and non-performing commercial loans, including senior secured loans, revolving lines of credit, loan participations, subordinated loans, unsecured loans and mezzanine debt. Our asset management company is a commercial special servicer rated by both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch’s rating services.

On June 24, 2021, BrightSpire Capital, Inc. changed its name from Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. We also changed our principal place of business and corporate headquarters from Los Angeles to New York City, now located at 590 Madison Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10022. We continue to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. However, concurrent with our name change, we changed our ticker symbol to BRSP.

Our Target Assets

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, we have continued to selectively pursue new investments. These new investments were entirely first mortgage loans eligible for collateralized loan obligation securitizations.

Our investment strategy is to originate and selectively acquire our target assets, which consist of the following:

•CRE Debt Investments:

–Senior Mortgage Loans. Our primary focus is originating and selectively acquiring senior mortgage loans that are backed by CRE assets. These loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on a commercial property and provide mortgage financing to a commercial property developer or owner. ~~Going forward, we expect to increase our exposure to senior mortgage loans as a percentage of our overall portfolio.~~ The loans may vary in duration, bear interest at a fixed or floating rate and amortize, if at all, over varying periods, often with a balloon payment of principal at maturity. Senior mortgage loans may include junior participations in our originated senior loans for which we have syndicated the senior participations to other investors and retained the junior participations for our portfolio. We believe these junior participations are more like the senior mortgage loans we originate than other loan types given their credit quality and risk profile.

•Mezzanine Loans and Preferred Equity:

–Mezzanine Loans. We may originate or acquire mezzanine loans, which are structurally subordinate to senior loans, but senior to the borrower’s equity position. Mezzanine loans may be structured such that our return accrues and is added to the principal amount rather than paid on a current basis. We may also pursue equity participation opportunities in instances when the risk-reward characteristics of the investment warrant additional upside participation in the possible appreciation in value of the underlying assets securing the investment.

–Preferred Equity. We may make investments that are subordinate to senior and mezzanine loans, but senior to the common equity in the mortgage borrower. Preferred equity investments may be structured such that our return accrues and is added to the principal amount rather than paid on a current basis. We also may pursue equity participation opportunities in preferred equity investments, like such participations in mezzanine loans.

•Net Leased and Other Real Estate. We may also invest directly in well-located commercial real estate with long-term leases to tenants on a net lease basis, where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance capital expenditures and real estate taxes. In addition, tenants of our properties typically pay rent increases based on: (1) increases in the consumer price index (typically subject to ceilings), (2) fixed increases, or (3) additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. We believe that a portfolio of properties under long-term, net lease agreements generally produces a more predictable income stream than many other types of real estate portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth in rental income.

The allocation of our capital among our target assets will depend on prevailing market conditions at the time we invest and may change over time in response to different prevailing market conditions. In addition, in the future, we may invest in assets other than our target assets or change our target assets. With respect to all our investments, we invest so as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our exclusion or exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Table of Contents

We believe that events in the financial markets from time to time, including the current and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, have created and will continue to create significant dislocation between price and intrinsic value in certain asset classes as well as a supply and demand imbalance of available credit to finance these assets. We believe that our in-depth understanding of CRE and real estate-related investments, in-house underwriting, asset management and resolution capabilities, provides an extensive platform to regularly evaluate our investments and determine primary, secondary or alternative disposition strategies. This includes intermediate servicing and negotiating, restructuring of non-performing investments, foreclosure considerations, management or development of owned real estate, in each case to reposition and achieve optimal value realization for the Company and its stockholders. Depending on the nature of the underlying investment, we may pursue repositioning strategies through judicious capital investment in order to extract maximum value from the investment or recognize unanticipated losses to reinvest resulting liquidity in higher-yielding performing investments.

Our Business Segments

During the first quarter of 2021, ~~the Company~~we realigned the business and reportable segment information to reflect how the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) regularly review and manage the business. As a result, we present our business as one portfolio and the following business segments:

•Senior and Mezzanine Loans and Preferred Equity—CRE debt investments including senior mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity interests as well as participations in such loans. The segment also includes acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) arrangements accounted for as equity method investments.

•Net Leased and Other Real Estate—direct investments in commercial real estate with long-term leases to tenants on a net lease basis, where such tenants generally will be responsible for property operating expenses such as insurance, utilities, maintenance, capital expenditures and real estate taxes. It also includes other real estate, currently consisting of three investments with direct ownership in commercial real estate, with an emphasis on properties with stable cash flow.

•CRE Debt Securities— securities investments currently consisting of BBB and some BB rated CMBS (including Non-Investment Grade “B-pieces” of a CMBS securitization pool) or CRE CLOs (including the junior tranches thereof, collateralized by pools of CRE debt investments). It also includes two sub-portfolios of private equity funds.

•Corporate—includes corporate-level asset management and other fees including expenses related to our secured revolving credit facility (the “Bank Credit Facility”), related party and general and administrative expenses.

There were no changes in the structure of our internal organization that prompted the change in reportable segments. Prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. Accordingly, we realigned the discussion and analysis of our portfolio and results of operations to reflect these reportable segments.

Significant Developments

During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and through ~~August 4,~~November 2, 2021, significant developments affecting our business and results of operations of our portfolio included the following:

Capital Resources

•On April 30, 2021, we completed the Internalization, consisting of the internalization of our management and operating functions and terminated our relationship with the Manager, a subsidiary of DigitalBridge, in accordance with the Termination Agreement. We paid the Manager a one-time termination fee of $102.3 million, and we will no longer pay management or incentive fees to the Manager for any post-closing period;

•During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, we amended our Bank Credit Facility to permit the Internalization and reduced the minimum tangible net worth covenant, increased our ability to make restricted payments such as dividends and stock buybacks and removed material restrictions on new investments, subject to covenant compliance, increased the maximum amount available for borrowing to 100% of the borrowing base value and reduced the aggregate amount of lender commitments from $450 million to $300 million. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion;

•During the second quarter of 2021, we amended our six Master Repurchase Facilities to permit the Internalization and reduce the minimum tangible net worth covenants consistent with that in the Bank Credit Facility, along with extending the maturity date on five Master Repurchase Facilities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion;

•~~In July~~ 2021, we executed a securitization transaction through BRSP 2021-FL1, contributing 31 floating rate mortgages secured by 42 properties, totaling $800 million, which resulted in the sale of ~~$800~~$670 million of investment grade notes. The securitization reflects an advance rate of 83.75% at a weighted cost of

~~Table of Contents~~

funds of LIBOR plus 1.49% (before transaction expenses). In connection with this transaction, we repaid $701.4 million under our master repurchase facilities during the third quarter of 2021. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion;

•As of the date of this report, we have approximately ~~$381~~$367 million of liquidity, consisting of ~~$221~~$209 million cash on hand and ~~$160~~$158 million available on our Bank Credit ~~Facility;~~Facility.

Our Portfolio

•During the third quarter of 2021, as a result of maturity default, a consolidation of all indebtedness senior to our position and other factors, we recorded a fair value loss adjustment of $97.9 million on a mezzanine B-participation investment in a development project in Los Angeles, California. See “Los Angeles, California Mixed-Use Project” in “Our Portfolio” below;

Table of Contents

•In the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect to amend and restate the senior mortgage loan in a hotel located in San Jose, California, subject to customary closing conditions, in the amount of $184.9 million. As terms were approved in the second quarter of 2021 and our senior loan documents were substantively finalized during the third quarter of 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 we reinstated the loan investment and recognized interest income of $6.1 million and $0.7 million of other income related to late fees on the consolidated statement of operations. See “San Jose, California Hotel Senior Loan” in “Our Portfolio” below;

•During the third quarter of 2021, we funded 1418 senior mortgage loans with a total commitment of ~~$402.1~~$518.5 million. The average initial funded amount was ~~$26.6~~$25.5 million and had a weighted average spread of 3.35% plus LIBOR;

•~~of 3.34% plus LIBOR.~~ Subsequent to ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we funded 11four senior mortgage loans with a total commitment of ~~$327.4~~$85.8 million. The average initial funded amount was ~~$23.0~~$19.9 million and had a weighted average spread of ~~3.26%~~3.59% plus ~~LIBOR.~~ S~~ubstantially all funded loans during these periods were comprised of cash flowing multifamily properties;~~LIBOR;

•During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, we entered into three USD-EUR forward swaps for a total notional amount of 120 million EUR. In order to minimize foreign currency cash flow risk on our European denominated assets, we have agreed to sell EUR and buy USD at a locked in forward curve rate pursuant to the forward swaps. These forward swaps mature on December 31, 2021;

•Subsequent to September 30, 2021, we sold ~~our retained investments in the subordinate tranches of~~ one ~~securitization trust~~CRE security for ~~$28.7~~$5.1 million in ~~total proceeds. In connection with~~gross proceeds and will recognize a gain of approximately $1.2 million. Following the sale, we recognized a realized loss of $19.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, we also recognized unrealized gains of $19.5 million and $28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We deconsolidated the securitization trust with gross assets and liabilities of approximately $830.9 million and $802.2 million, respectively;no longer hold any CRE securities.

•~~During the second quarter of 2021, we classified one hotel with a carrying value of $27.6 million as held for sale;~~

•On July 19, 2021, we reached an agreement to sell five co-investment assets to managed vehicles of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), for gross proceeds of $223 million (the “Co-Invest Portfolio Sale”). Upon closing of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, third-party consents and purchase price adjustments, we anticipate recognizing a total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs. See “Our Portfolio” below for further discussion of accounting and transaction economics.

Results of Operations

Our Portfolio

•Generated U.S. GAAP net loss of ~~$19.7~~$70.1 million, or ~~$(0.15)~~$(0.54) per share, ~~and~~ Distributable Earnings (Loss) of ~~$27.1~~$68.4 million, or ~~$(0.20)~~$(0.51) per share and Adjusted Distributable Earnings of $35.0 million, or $0.26 per share during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Impact of COVID-19

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19 and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted CRE credit REITs across the industry, as well as other companies that own and operate commercial real estate investments, including our company. As we manage the impact and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~cash preservation,~~ liquidity and investment and portfolio management remain key priorities.

We continue to work closely with our borrowers and tenants to address the impact of COVID-19 on their business. To the extent that certain borrowers are experiencing significant financial dislocation we have and may continue to consider the use of interest and other reserves and/or replenishment obligations of the borrower and/or guarantors to meet current interest payment obligations, for a limited period. Similarly, we have and may in the future evaluate converting certain current interest payment obligations to payment-in-kind as a potential bridge period solution. We have in limited cases allowed some portions of current interest to convert to payment-in-kind.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainties that have and may continue to negatively impact our future operating results, liquidity and financial condition. However, we believe there are too many uncertainties to predict and quantify the continuing impact. The potential concerns and risks include, but are not limited to, mortgage borrowers ability to make monthly payments, lessees’ capacity to pay their rent, and the resulting impact on us to meet our obligations. Therefore, there can be no assurances that we will not need to take impairment charges in future quarters or experience further declines in revenues and net income, which could be material.

Underwriting Process

We use an investment and underwriting process that has been developed by our senior management team leveraging their extensive commercial real estate expertise over many years and real estate cycles. The underwriting process focuses on some or all of the following factors designed to ensure each investment is evaluated appropriately: (i) macroeconomic conditions that may influence operating performance; (ii) fundamental analysis of underlying real estate, including tenant rosters, lease terms, zoning, necessary licensing, operating costs and the asset’s overall competitive position in its market; (iii) real estate market factors that may influence the economic performance of the investment, including leasing conditions and overall competition; (iv) the operating expertise and financial strength and reputation of a tenant, operator, partner or borrower; (v) the cash flow in place and projected to be in place over the term of the investment and potential return; (vi) the appropriateness of the business plan and estimated costs associated with tenant buildout, repositioning or capital improvements; (vii) an internal and third-party valuation of a property, investment basis relative to the competitive set and the ability to liquidate an investment through a sale or refinancing; (viii) review of third-party reports including appraisals, engineering and environmental reports; (ix) physical inspections of properties and markets; (x) the overall legal structure of the investment, contractual implications and the lenders’ rights; and (xi) the tax and accounting impact.

Loan Risk Rankings

In addition to reviewing loans and preferred equity held for investment for impairment quarterly, we evaluate loans and preferred equity held for investment to determine if an allowance for loan loss should be established. In conjunction with this review, we assess the risk factors of each senior and mezzanine loans and preferred equity and assign a risk ranking based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate performance and asset value, values of comparable properties, durability and quality of property cash flows, sponsor experience and financial wherewithal, and the existence of a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on a five-point scale, our loans and preferred equity held for investment are rated “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk. At the time of origination or

purchase, loans and preferred equity held for investment are ranked as a “3” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

1.Very Low Risk—The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance has exceeded underwritten expectations with very strong NOI, debt service coverage ratio, debt yield and occupancy metrics. Sponsor is investment grade, very well capitalized, and employs a very experienced management team.

2.Low Risk—The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance has met or exceeds underwritten expectations with high occupancy at market rents, resulting in consistent cash flow to service the debt. Strong sponsor that is well capitalized with experienced management team.

3.Average Risk—The loan is performing as agreed. The underlying property performance is consistent with underwriting expectations. The property generates adequate cash flow to service the debt, and/or there is enough reserve or loan structure to provide time for sponsor to execute the business plan. Sponsor has routinely met its obligations and has experience owning/operating similar real estate.

4.High Risk/Delinquent/Potential for Loss—The loan is in excess of 30 days delinquent and/or has a risk of a principal loss. The underlying property performance is behind underwritten expectations. Loan covenants may require occasional waivers/modifications. Sponsor has been unable to execute its business plan and local market fundamentals have deteriorated. Operating cash flow is not sufficient to service the debt and debt service payments may be coming from sponsor equity/loan reserves.

5.Impaired/Defaulted/Loss Likely—The loan is in default or a default is imminent, and has a high risk of a principal loss, or has incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectation and sponsor has failed to execute its business plan. The property has significant vacancy and current cash flow does not support debt service. Local market fundamentals have significantly deteriorated resulting in depressed comparable property valuations versus underwriting.

As mentioned above, management considers several risk factors when assigning our risk ranking each quarter. For the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, management believes the extended impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, and therefore continues to represent a significant risk to our portfolio. However, the origination of 1418 new loans during the quarter and improved outlook in others, such as our San Jose, California Hotel Senior Loan (discussed in further detail below), resulted in a quarter-end average risk rating of ~~3.5.~~3.2. This is a slight improvement as compared to an average risk ranking of ~~3.6~~3.5 for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, we expect some borrowers may continue to experience difficulties making their loan payments over the next several quarters. We are particularly concerned with and focused on loans collateralized by hotels as well as mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments that are subordinate to senior loans provided by other lenders such as our Los Angeles, California Mixed-use Development mezzanine ~~loan and preferred equity~~B-participation investment discussed below. Failure of our borrowers to meet their loan obligations will not only impact our financial results but may also trigger repayments under our master repurchase facilities. Our asset management team speaks with borrowers on a reasonably current basis, and seeks to identify issues and address potential value preserving solutions, which may include a loan modification.

Table of Contents

We have ~~seven~~five loans on nonaccrual status as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, of which we received cash interest payments from these loans of ~~$2.8~~$4.0 million and applied the cash interest collected as a reduction to the loan’s carrying value. Refer to loan 2,75, loan ~~59,~~83, loan ~~60,~~84, loan ~~68, loan 69, loan 72~~85 and loan 7590 in the asset level detail table above for further details. Loan 75, which is a euro-denominated senior mortgage loan for a fully entitled land acquisition for a mixed-use development project in Dublin, Ireland (“Project Dockland”) went into maturity default on September 15, 2021. Project Dockland’s investment interests are held through a joint venture that includes private investment vehicles managed by Digital Bridge (the “Co-Lenders”). The Co-Lenders have reserved all rights and are evaluating remedies, which may include the appointment of a receiver at the investment. Four of the ~~seven~~five non-accrual loans are in the process of being sold as part of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale, as discussed below. The remaining ~~three loans~~nonaccrual loan is associated with ~~two investments are~~ our Los Angeles, California Mixed-use Project ~~and the San Jose, California Hotel Senior Loan and Preferred Equity, both of~~ which ~~are~~is discussed in further detail below.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 our current expected credit loss reserve (“CECL”) calculated by our probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model for our outstanding loans and future loan funding commitments is ~~$42.9~~$43.7 million, which is ~~1.4%~~1.3% of the aggregate commitment amount of our loan portfolio. This represents an increase of ~~$1.2~~$0.8 million from ~~$41.7~~$42.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, which is primarily driven by new loan originations during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021.

On July 19, 2021, we reached an agreement to sell the five co-investment assets in the table above to managed by vehicles of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), for gross proceeds of $223 million (the “Co-Invest Portfolio Sale”). Upon closing of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, third-party consents and purchase price adjustments, we anticipate recognizing a total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale will resolve five of six legacy co-investment assets owned alongside investment vehicles managed by DigitalBridge. The last remaining co-investment asset (which is not part of this sale) is our Los Angeles, California Mixed-Use Project (see narrative below). On June 7, 2021, DigitalBridge also announced a portfolio sale with Fortress that included its joint venture interests in the same five investments. The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale is conditioned on, and will close concurrent with, the transaction between DigitalBridge and Fortress. We anticipate closing of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale inprior to the ~~fourth quarter~~outside closing date of ~~2021,~~March 31, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and third party consents, however we can offer no assurances that the transaction will close as expected or at all. In October 2021, a joint venture partner applied in Ireland for an injunction to delay the DigitalBridge and Fortress transaction and a temporary injunction was granted pending a hearing on November 23, 2021. The outcome of this hearing may delay the closing of such transaction and Co-Invest Portfolio Sale and/or impact the ability to close both transactions.

Per generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to value these assets at the lower of cost or fair market value. As of June 30, 2021, to reflect the cash we expect to receive from the sale, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment loss adjustments on Loan ~~59:~~75: $32.8 million, Loans 6883 & ~~75:~~90: $1.4 million and Loan ~~69:~~84: $1.3 million, totaling a loss of $35.5 million, of which $32.0 million was allocated to our Company and $3.5 million was allocated to our partner in the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.” Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further discussion. Additionally, we expect to record an offsetting gain on Loans ~~66, 73 & 74~~81, 88 and 89 totaling approximately $27.4 million upon the closing of the transaction, resulting in a total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs. However, we can offer no assurances regarding the amount of any loss or gain the Company will actually realize in connection with the sale.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale includes four of the investments included in our “5-Investment Preferred ~~Financing”,~~Financing,” a COVID-19 related financing secured in June 2020 for balance sheet protective purposes. We anticipate using the proceeds from the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale to pay-off the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.”

~~July 9, 2021 Maturity Default and~~ Risk of Foreclosure and Maturity Default (see Historical Details below)

On July 9, 2021, the borrower failed to pay the principal balance of the Upsized Mezzanine Loan (as defined below) and senior mortgage loan or meet other tests for extension of ~~such~~the maturity date. The Senior Mezzanine Lender (as defined below) and senior mortgage lender each delivered reservation of rights letters to the senior mezzanine borrower and borrower, respectively. The lender parties and borrower have engaged in discussions regarding the current status of the sale of the hotel and the completion of the tower condominiums and anticipated tower condominium sales projections. Since the new capital investment of $275 million was made on September 1, 2020, there have been~~further occurrences of~~additional hard and soft costs overruns which are not supported by current commitments or reserves at the Mixed-use ~~Project. Further~~Project; provided, however, since the borrower maturity default, the Senior Mezzanine Lender has funded an additional approximately $47 million in protective advances ahead of our junior B-participation position. The hotel is currently open for business and the condominium towers are nearing completion. However, there continue to be delays ~~are anticipated until completion~~experienced at the project, which include delays of ~~the tower condominiums and~~ the sale of the hotel ~~has also not yet been completed.~~

~~It is possible that due~~property. In October 2021, in addition to the recent protective advances, the entire senior mortgage loan (with a total funding commitment of approximately $1.0 billion) was acquired at par by an affiliate of the Senior Mezzanine Lender (collectively, the “Senior Lender Group”). Since this acquisition, the senior mortgage commenced bearing interest at the default rate of approximately 11%. Given the Senior Lender Group’s consolidation of indebtedness, needed additional fundings and their preparedness to exercise any and all remedies, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender’s (as defined below) inability to reach a feasible restructuring agreement could result in the Senior Lender Group foreclosing out our mezzanine B-participation investment.

The borrower maturity default on July 9, 2021, further delays at the ~~exercise~~project and in sales activities, additional capital requirements, potential restructuring of ~~default remedies and/or foreclosure~~indebtedness and actions that may be taken by the Senior Lender Group, notwithstanding continuing negotiations with the Senior Lender Group, have negatively impacted our investment interest. Importantly, the acquisition of the senior mortgage by the Senior Mezzanine Lender orincreases the likelihood of a mortgage ~~lender along with the additional capital requirements and further delays in the sale of the hotel~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~or condo units could result in further impairment or~~ foreclosure of our ~~interests in~~interests. As such, during the ~~B-participation investment, which has~~three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a ~~carrying~~fair value loss adjustment of $97.9 million, ~~at June 30, 2021.~~which represents our remaining proportionate share in the investment.

Historical Details

In July 2017, we originated a $189.0 million commitment to an approximately $574 million mezzanine loan and preferred equity investment in a development project in Los Angeles County, which includes a hospitality and retail renovation and a new condominium tower construction (the “Mixed-use Project”). Our investment interests are held through a joint venture (the “CLNY Mezzanine Lender”) with affiliates of DigitalBridge.

In April 2020, the senior mortgage lender notified the borrower developer that the Mixed-use Project loan funding was out of balance, due to cost overruns from certain hard and soft costs and senior loan interest reserve shortfalls projected through completion. To address the out of balance circumstance during the second quarter of 2020, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender made two protective advances to the senior mortgage lender totaling $69.1 million, of which our share was $28.5 million. The CLNY Mezzanine Lender placed this investment on nonaccrual status.

In June 2020, the senior mortgage lender funded a third protective advance of $15.5 million. Additionally, the loans held by the senior mortgage lender and CLNY Mezzanine Lender, respectively, matured on July 9, 2020.

On September 1, 2020, in cooperation with the borrower and the EB-5 lender, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender and senior mortgage lender secured $275 million of additional mezzanine financing from a third-party mezzanine lender (the “Senior Mezzanine Lender”). To consummate the new mezzanine financing, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender simplified its investment interest by converting its existing preferred equity principal and accrued interest into the existing mezzanine loan, transferred the mezzanine loan to the Senior Mezzanine Lender, who subsequently increased the mezzanine loan amount by $275 million to an approximately $821 million total mezzanine loan (the “Upsized Mezzanine Loan”). The Senior Mezzanine Lender holds a $275 million A-participation and the CLNY Mezzanine Lender (including our interest) continues to hold an approximately $546 million noncontrolling B-participation interest in the Upsized Mezzanine Loan at the Mixed-use Project. The Senior Mezzanine Lender is the sole administrative agent and Upsized Mezzanine Loan owner. The Upsized Mezzanine Loan closing and revised budget addressed certain amendments to maturity dates to complete and sell the hotel by July 2021 and modifications to certain borrower extension tests to facilitate completion of the Mixed-use Project. The CLNY Mezzanine

Table of Contents

Lender’s B-participation investment continues to carry an interest rate of 12.90% per annum, consistent with our interest rate prior to this mezzanine refinancing event. The B-participation investment is a subordinate interest to the A-participation interest in respect to payments of principal and interest. The new $275 million financing commitment covered current capital requirements at the Mixed-use Project and included both $65 million of interest reserves to cover A-participation interest payments and $100 million reserved for future funding obligations, in furtherance of a revised construction budget at such time. The CLNY Mezzanine Lender is no longer subject to future funding commitments in accordance with the revised budget. As previously reported, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender had a remaining unfunded commitment of $39.3 million, of which our share was $14.5 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we placed the mezzanine loans and preferred equity investment on nonaccrual status and recorded our proportionate share of a fair value loss adjustment totaling $89.3 ~~million. We continue~~million, and continued to maintain the nonaccrual status ~~and such fair value loss adjustment on our proportionate share~~ of the CLNY Mezzanine Lender’s B-participation investment.

The hotel portion of the development has been completed and the temporary certificate of occupancy was granted in October 2020. The borrower initiated a sales process for the hotel component of the mixed-use project, targeting a closing in the second half of 2021 (the proceeds of which would be used to pay down the senior mortgage loan). In addition, certain hotel and tower condominium sales have closed since December 2020, with $24 million in aggregate proceeds used to pay down the senior mortgage construction loan.

We originated a $173.5 million senior loan for the sponsor’s purchase of the San Jose ~~Hotel.~~Hotel in 2018. The loan included an initial funding of $166.6 million with an additional $6.9 million of future advances. At closing, the borrower contributed approximately $90.0 million of equity toward the acquisition.

~~Table of Contents~~

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 created challenges, ~~across~~which included lower occupancy rates, weaker financial performance and borrower funding of approximately $18.6 million of shortfalls to maintain operations, which ultimately led the ~~hospitality industry. The global reduction in business travel directly impacted operations at~~borrower to close the San Jose, Hotel, which is located in the heart of downtown San Jose. Low occupancy led to weaker financial performance. In order to continue operations in 2020 the principal of the borrower funded approximately $18.6 million to the borrower. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the borrower requested to terminate the existing hotel management agreement and pay the manager liquidated damages in accordance with the management agreement; however, the manager refused to terminate the agreement. Faced with the manager’s refusal to neither terminate the management agreement nor contribute capital as requested by borrower, the borrower closed theCalifornia hotel and ~~filed~~file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2021. We entered into a restructuring support agreement with the borrower with respect to the bankruptcy process, in our capacity as the sole secured creditor. The bankruptcy court ~~has~~ authorized the ~~borrower to reject~~rejection of the existing hotel management agreement and approved a restructuring plan for the borrower to ~~solicit proposals for (a) subordinate financing~~exit bankruptcy with Signia by Hilton as the new brand and hotel manager, and a $25 million mezzanine loan to support the ~~asset,~~re-opening, property improvement plans, certain operating expenses and ~~(b) a new contract with a new hotel manager to re-brand the hotel. The borrower is actively negotiating~~all expenses associated with the ~~former manager~~bankruptcy process.

On May 18, 2021, the bankruptcy court issued a confirmation order approving the amended and restated senior mortgage loan terms and our right to ~~resolve any damages due~~rely on such order to finalize documents with our borrower as it emerges from bankruptcy in accordance with the ~~former manager.~~

~~The bankruptcy proceeding and rulings,~~third amended joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In the ~~continued impact~~fourth quarter of ~~COVID-19 on business travel, and other risks associated with a new hotel manager may negatively impact the value of our investment interest. During the three months ended March 31,~~ 2021, we ~~placed~~expect to amend and restate the senior mortgage loan, subject to customary closing conditions, in the amount of $184.9 million, an upsize which reflects accrued interest and fees during the non-accrual period, collapsing the prior preferred equity investment ~~on nonaccrual status,~~into the restated senior mortgage loan and ~~continued~~certain other costs and expenses associated with bankruptcy. The San Jose Hotel is scheduled to ~~maintain~~reopen in the ~~nonaccrual status~~first quarter of 2022. As the bankruptcy plan and loan terms were approved in the second quarter of 2021 and our senior loan documents were substantively finalized during the third quarter of 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 we reinstated the loan investment and recognized interest income of $6.8 million, of which $4.4 million relates to past due interest and fees during the non-accrual period of February 2021 through June ~~30,~~2021 and $2.4 million relates to interest income during the third quarter of 2021.

included an initial funding of $98.8 million with an additional $11.0 million of future advances. The sponsor purchased the Berkeley Hotel in 2014 for a purchase price of $89.5 million and has spent a significant amount on capital improvements. In September 2019, we upsized the senior loan to $120.0 million and provided a $29.3 million mezzanine loan to facilitate the sponsor’s acquisition of a third party’s equity interest in the property. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Berkeley Hotel was closed from April through July of 2020, during which time the loan stayed current through the combination of federal loans (Paycheck Protection Program), borrower reserves, and lender advances from the mezzanine loan.

We originated a $92.0 million senior loan to refinance a portfolio of three cross-collateralized student housing properties. The prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has put stress on the student housing market and forced one of the three schools serviced by the portfolio to hold classes 100% remotely during the 2020-2021 academic year, drastically decreasing revenue.

We have agreed to forbear the tax and replacement reserve requirements ~~from April 2021 to September 2021,~~ while the borrower pursues a sale of all three properties. The borrower has ~~provided~~agreed to accelerated remedies in the event of default after the forbearance period. ~~Broker opinions~~There are executed purchase and sales agreements for each of ~~values for~~ the three assets ~~in aggregate indicate~~with three separate parties expected to close, subject to customary closing conditions. These sales are expected to generate total combined proceeds ~~exceed~~sufficient to payoff the debt amount. ~~The borrower has listed the underlying properties for sale, the proceeds of which would pay down our loan.~~ However, it is possible that ~~uncertain market conditions and borrower actions may~~a disruption of the sale process could result in a future valuation impairment or investment loss.

Payment-In-Kind (“PIK”) Interest Income

We have debt investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we recorded total PIK interest of ~~$3.7~~$11.1 million and ~~$7.1~~$18.3 million, respectively. We will generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or management does not expect the borrower to be able to pay all principal and interest due.

Impact of COVID-19

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19 and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted CRE ~~Debt Securities~~credit REITs across the industry, as well as other companies that own and operate commercial real estate investments, including our company. As we manage the impact and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity and investment and portfolio management remain key priorities.

The ~~following table presents an overview~~COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainties that have and may continue to negatively impact our future operating results, liquidity and financial condition. However, we believe there are too many uncertainties to predict and quantify the continuing impact. The potential concerns and risks include, but are not limited to, mortgage borrowers ability to make monthly payments, lessees’ capacity to pay their rent, and the resulting impact on us to meet our obligations. Therefore, there can be no assurances that we will not need to take impairment charges in future quarters or experience further declines in revenues and net income, which could be material.

Underwriting Process

We use an investment and underwriting process that has been developed by our senior management team leveraging their extensive commercial real estate ~~strategy,~~expertise over many years and real estate cycles. The underwriting process focuses on some or all of the following factors designed to ensure each investment is evaluated appropriately: (i) macroeconomic conditions that may influence operating performance; (ii) fundamental analysis of underlying real estate, including tenant rosters, lease terms, zoning, necessary licensing, operating costs and the asset’s overall competitive position in its market; (iii) real estate market factors that may influence the economic performance of the investment, including leasing conditions and overall competition; (iv) the operating expertise and financial strength and reputation of a tenant, operator, partner or borrower; (v) the cash flow in place and projected to be in place over the term of the investment and potential return; (vi) the appropriateness of the business plan and estimated costs associated with tenant buildout, repositioning or capital improvements; (vii) an internal and third-party valuation of a property, investment basis relative to the competitive set and the ability to liquidate an investment through a sale or refinancing; (viii) review of third-party reports including appraisals, engineering and environmental reports; (ix) physical inspections of properties and markets; (x) the overall legal structure of the investment, contractual implications and the lenders’ rights; and (xi) the tax and accounting impact.

Loan Risk Rankings

In addition to reviewing loans and preferred equity held for investment for impairment quarterly, we ~~explore~~evaluate loans and preferred equity held for investment to determine if an allowance for loan loss should be established. In conjunction with this review, we assess the risk factors of each senior and mezzanine loans and preferred equity and assign a risk ranking based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate ~~investments including multi-tenant office, multifamily, student housing~~performance and ~~industrial. These~~asset value, values of comparable properties, ~~are typically well-located with strong operating partners~~durability and ~~we believe offer both attractive~~quality of property cash ~~flow~~flows, sponsor experience and ~~returns. Additionally, we have three investments in direct ownership~~financial wherewithal, and the existence of ~~commercial~~a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate ~~with an emphasis~~and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on ~~properties with stable cash flow, which may be structurally senior~~a five-point scale, our loans and preferred equity held for investment are rated “1” through “5,” from less risk to ~~a third-party partner’s equity.

These properties are typically well-located with strong operating partners.~~

purchase, loans and preferred equity held for investment are ranked as a “3” and will move accordingly going forward based on the ratings which are defined as follows:

As mentioned above, management considers several risk factors when assigning our risk ranking each quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, management believes the extended impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, and therefore continues to represent a significant risk to our portfolio. However, the origination of 18 new loans during the quarter and improved outlook in others, such as our San Jose, California Hotel Senior Loan (discussed in further detail below), resulted in a quarter-end average risk rating of 3.2. This is a slight improvement as compared to an average risk ranking of 3.5 for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021, $697.2 million or 18.9%~~2021.

Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, we expect some borrowers may continue to experience difficulties making their loan payments over the next several quarters. We are particularly concerned with and focused on loans collateralized by hotels as well as mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments that are subordinate to senior loans provided by other lenders such as our Los Angeles, California Mixed-use Development mezzanine B-participation investment discussed below. Failure of our borrowers to meet their loan obligations will not only impact our financial results but may also trigger repayments under our master repurchase facilities. Our asset management team speaks with borrowers on a reasonably current basis, and seeks to identify issues and address potential value preserving solutions, which may include a loan modification.

Table of Contents

We have five loans on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2021, of which we received cash interest payments from these loans of $4.0 million and applied the cash interest collected as a reduction to the loan’s carrying value. Refer to loan 75, loan 83, loan 84, loan 85 and loan 90 in the asset level detail table above for further details. Loan 75, which is a euro-denominated senior mortgage loan for a fully entitled land acquisition for a mixed-use development project in Dublin, Ireland (“Project Dockland”) went into maturity default on September 15, 2021. Project Dockland’s investment interests are held through a joint venture that includes private investment vehicles managed by Digital Bridge (the “Co-Lenders”). The Co-Lenders have reserved all rights and are evaluating remedies, which may include the appointment of a receiver at the investment. Four of the five non-accrual loans are in the process of being sold as part of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale, as discussed below. The remaining nonaccrual loan is associated with our Los Angeles, California Mixed-use Project which is discussed in further detail below.

At September 30, 2021 our current expected credit loss reserve (“CECL”) calculated by our probability of default (“PD”)/loss given default (“LGD”) model for our outstanding loans and future loan funding commitments is $43.7 million, which is 1.3% of the aggregate commitment amount of our loan portfolio. This represents an increase of $0.8 million from $42.9 million at June 30, 2021, which is primarily driven by new loan originations during the third quarter of 2021.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale will resolve five of six legacy co-investment assets owned alongside investment vehicles managed by DigitalBridge. The last remaining co-investment asset (which is not part of this sale) is our Los Angeles, California Mixed-Use Project (see narrative below). On June 7, 2021, DigitalBridge also announced a portfolio sale with Fortress that included its joint venture interests in the same five investments. The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale is conditioned on, and will close concurrent with, the transaction between DigitalBridge and Fortress. We anticipate closing of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale prior to the outside closing date of March 31, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and third party consents, however we can offer no assurances that the transaction will close as expected or at all. In October 2021, a joint venture partner applied in Ireland for an injunction to delay the DigitalBridge and Fortress transaction and a temporary injunction was granted pending a hearing on November 23, 2021. The outcome of this hearing may delay the closing of such transaction and Co-Invest Portfolio Sale and/or impact the ability to close both transactions.

Per generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to value these assets at the lower of cost or fair market value. As of June 30, 2021, to reflect the cash we expect to receive from the sale, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment loss adjustments on Loan 75: $32.8 million, Loans 83 & 90: $1.4 million and ~~assumes~~Loan 84: $1.3 million, totaling a loss of $35.5 million, of which $32.0 million was allocated to our Company and $3.5 million was allocated to our partner in the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.” Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further discussion. Additionally, we expect to record an offsetting gain on Loans 81, 88 and 89 totaling approximately $27.4 million upon the closing of the transaction, resulting in a total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs. However, we can offer no assurances regarding the amount of any loss or gain the Company will actually realize in connection with the sale.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale includes four of the investments included in our “5-Investment Preferred Financing,” a COVID-19 related financing secured in June 2020 for balance sheet protective purposes. We anticipate using the proceeds from the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale to pay-off the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.”

Risk of Foreclosure and Maturity Default (see Historical Details below)

On July 9, 2021, the borrower failed to pay the principal balance of the Upsized Mezzanine Loan (as defined below) and senior mortgage loan or meet other tests for extension of the maturity date. The Senior Mezzanine Lender (as defined below) and senior mortgage lender each delivered reservation of rights letters to the senior mezzanine borrower and borrower, respectively. The lender parties and borrower have engaged in discussions regarding the current status of the sale of the hotel and the completion of the tower condominiums and anticipated tower condominium sales projections. Since the new capital investment of $275 million was made on September 1, 2020, there have been additional hard and soft costs overruns which are not supported by current commitments or reserves at the Mixed-use Project; provided, however, since the borrower maturity default, the Senior Mezzanine Lender has funded an additional approximately $47 million in protective advances ahead of our junior B-participation position. The hotel is currently open for business and the condominium towers are nearing completion. However, there continue to be delays experienced at the project, which include delays of the sale of the hotel property. In October 2021, in addition to the recent protective advances, the entire senior mortgage loan (with a total funding commitment of approximately $1.0 billion) was acquired at par by an affiliate of the Senior Mezzanine Lender (collectively, the “Senior Lender Group”). Since this acquisition, the senior mortgage commenced bearing interest at the default rate of approximately 11%. Given the Senior Lender Group’s consolidation of indebtedness, needed additional fundings and their preparedness to exercise any and all remedies, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender’s (as defined below) inability to reach a feasible restructuring agreement could result in the Senior Lender Group foreclosing out our mezzanine B-participation investment.

The borrower maturity default on July 9, 2021, further delays at the project and in sales activities, additional capital requirements, potential restructuring of indebtedness and actions that ~~no renewal options are exercised. Weighted average calculation based on carrying~~may be taken by the Senior Lender Group, notwithstanding continuing negotiations with the Senior Lender Group, have negatively impacted our investment interest. Importantly, the acquisition of the senior mortgage by the Senior Mezzanine Lender increases the likelihood of a mortgage foreclosure of our interests. As such, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a fair value atloss adjustment of $97.9 million, which represents our remaining proportionate share ~~as of June 30, 2021.~~in the investment.

Our investment interests are held through a joint venture (the “CLNY Mezzanine Lender”) ~~for $320~~with affiliates of DigitalBridge.

In April 2020, the senior mortgage lender notified the borrower developer that the Mixed-use Project loan funding was out of balance, due to cost overruns from certain hard and soft costs and senior loan interest reserve shortfalls projected through completion. To address the out of balance circumstance during the second quarter of 2020, the CLNY Mezzanine Lender made two protective advances to the senior mortgage lender totaling $69.1 million, of which our share was $28.5 million. The ~~office campus consists~~CLNY Mezzanine Lender placed this investment on nonaccrual status.

In June 2020, the senior mortgage lender funded a third protective advance of ~~26 buildings,~~$15.5 million. Additionally, the loans held by the senior mortgage lender and CLNY Mezzanine Lender, respectively, matured on July 9, 2020.

We originated a $173.5 million senior loan for the sponsor’s purchase of the San Jose Hotel in 2018. The loan included an initial funding of $166.6 million with an additional $6.9 million of future advances. At closing, the borrower contributed approximately $90.0 million of equity toward the acquisition.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 created challenges, which included lower occupancy rates, weaker financial performance and borrower funding of approximately $18.6 million of shortfalls to maintain operations, which ultimately led the borrower to close the San Jose, California hotel and file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2021. We entered into a restructuring support agreement with the borrower with respect to the bankruptcy process, in our capacity as the sole secured creditor. The bankruptcy court authorized the rejection of the existing hotel management agreement and approved a restructuring plan for the borrower to exit bankruptcy with Signia by Hilton as the new brand and hotel manager, and a $25 million mezzanine loan to support the re-opening, property improvement plans, certain operating expenses and all ~~real estate related~~ expenses ~~including operational expenditures, capital expenditures~~associated with the bankruptcy process.

On May 18, 2021, the bankruptcy court issued a confirmation order approving the amended and ~~municipality taxes.~~restated senior mortgage loan terms and our right to rely on such order to finalize documents with our borrower as it emerges from bankruptcy in accordance with the third amended joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect to amend and restate the senior mortgage loan, subject to customary closing conditions, in the amount of $184.9 million, an upsize which reflects accrued interest and fees during the non-accrual period, collapsing the prior preferred equity investment into the restated senior mortgage loan and certain other costs and expenses associated with bankruptcy. The ~~Net Lease~~San Jose Hotel is scheduled to reopen in the first quarter of 2022. As the bankruptcy plan and loan terms were approved in the second quarter of 2021 and our senior loan documents were substantively finalized during the third quarter of 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 we reinstated the loan investment and recognized interest income of $6.8 million, of which $4.4 million relates to past due interest and fees during the non-accrual period of February 2021 through June 2021 and $2.4 million relates to interest income during the third quarter of 2021. We currently hold the senior loan as an unencumbered asset and expect to finance the loan utilizing one of our warehouse facilities.

included an initial funding of $98.8 million with an additional $11.0 million of future advances. The sponsor purchased the Berkeley Hotel in 2014 for a purchase price of $89.5 million and has a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.7 years and the tenant has the option to extend for two 5-year periods at the same terms with rent adjusted to market rent. The Net Lease also has annual rent increases based on the Norwegian CPI Index. Our tenant has injectedspent a significant amount on capital improvements. In September 2019, we upsized the senior loan to $120.0 million and provided a $29.3 million mezzanine loan to facilitate the sponsor’s acquisition of ~~capital into~~a third party’s equity interest in the property. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Berkeley Hotel was closed from April through July of 2020, during which time the loan stayed current through the combination of federal loans (Paycheck Protection Program), borrower reserves, and lender advances from the mezzanine loan.

The hotel partially re-opened in August 2020 and shortly thereafter, began generating cash flow. Operating performance has steadily improved in 2021 at the Berkley Hotel. During the third quarter of 2021 cash flows were sufficient to fully cover the debt service payment. The borrower has previously supported debt service shortfalls out-of-pocket. COVID-19 cases in California continue to impact occupancy, which may influence future borrower actions and support at the Berkeley Hotel and have a negative impact on performance of the asset and the value of our investment interest.

The New York City metro office markets have experienced substantial increases in vacancy rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Long Island City market has experienced further increases in vacancy as newly developed or renovated properties have become available for leasing. Additionally, the availability of significant sub-lease space in Long Island City has created additional supply at below market rents. There is increasing confidence among market participants that office demand will increase in the near future, as many tenants solidify their return-to-work plans. However, the timeline may not be rapid enough to remedy the negative impact on sponsor’s business plans and leasing activity for these two properties. As such, the underlying individual property cash flows are insufficient to cover their respective debt service payments. In March 2021, we agreed to shift future funding advances from the tenant improvements and leasing costs account to be used for interest carry and operations shortfalls for a period of six months on Loan 12 and twelve months on Loan 13. The six-month shortfall future funding advance period expired in August 2021 for Loan 12 and the borrower deposited six months interest and carry in exchange for certain waivers and extensions that extend through September 2022. In regards to leasing activity at these properties, Loan 13 has in place leases accounting for 21% of the property, ~~over~~along with two license agreements that generate revenue from rooftop signage and antenna space and there is a pending lease expected to be executed representing an additional 10% of the ~~past 10 years.

We originated a $92.0 million senior loan to refinance a portfolio of three cross-collateralized student housing properties. The prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has put stress on the ~~Norway Net Lease consists~~student housing market and forced one of the three schools serviced by the portfolio to hold classes 100% remotely during the 2020-2021 academic year, drastically decreasing revenue.

We have agreed to forbear the tax and replacement reserve requirements while the borrower pursues a ~~mortgage payable~~sale of all three properties. The borrower has agreed to accelerated remedies in the event of default after the forbearance period. There are executed purchase and sales agreements for each of the three assets with three separate parties expected to close, subject to customary closing conditions. These sales are expected to generate total combined proceeds sufficient to payoff the debt amount. However, it is possible that a disruption of the sale process could result in a future valuation impairment or investment loss.

Impact of COVID-19

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19 and its potential effects, and the extent of and effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted CRE credit REITs across the industry, as well as other companies that own and operate commercial real estate investments, including our company. As we manage the impact and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity and investment and portfolio management remain key priorities.

Due to the continued impact of COVID-19, we expect some borrowers may continue to experience difficulties making their loan payments over the next several quarters. We are particularly concerned with and focused on loans collateralized by hotels as well as mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments that are subordinate to senior loans provided by other lenders such as our Los Angeles, California Mixed-use Development mezzanine B-participation investment discussed below. Failure of our borrowers to meet their loan obligations will not only impact our financial results but may also trigger repayments under our master repurchase facilities. Our asset management team speaks with borrowers on a reasonably current basis, and seeks to identify issues and address potential value preserving solutions, which may include a loan modification.

The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale will resolve five of six legacy co-investment assets owned alongside investment vehicles managed by DigitalBridge. The last remaining co-investment asset (which is not part of this sale) is our Los Angeles, California Mixed-Use Project (see narrative below). On June 7, 2021, DigitalBridge also announced a portfolio sale with Fortress that included its joint venture interests in the same five investments. The Co-Invest Portfolio Sale is conditioned on, and will close concurrent with, the transaction between DigitalBridge and Fortress. We anticipate closing of the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale prior to the outside closing date of March 31, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions and third party consents, however we can offer no assurances that the transaction will close as expected or at all. In October 2021, a joint venture partner applied in Ireland for an injunction to delay the DigitalBridge and Fortress transaction and a temporary injunction was granted pending a hearing on November 23, 2021. The outcome of this hearing may delay the closing of such transaction and Co-Invest Portfolio Sale and/or impact the ability to close both transactions.

Per generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to value these assets at the lower of cost or fair market value. As of June 30, 2021, to reflect the cash we expect to receive from the sale, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment loss adjustments on Loan 75: $32.8 million, Loans 83 & 90: $1.4 million and Loan 84: $1.3 million, totaling a loss of $35.5 million, of which $32.0 million was allocated to our Company and $3.5 million was allocated to our partner in the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.” Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further discussion. Additionally, we expect to record an offsetting gain on Loans 81, 88 and 89 totaling approximately $27.4 million upon the closing of the transaction, resulting in a total net realized loss of approximately $4.6 million, net of selling costs. However, we can offer no assurances regarding the amount of any loss or gain the Company will actually realize in connection with the sale.

Risk of Foreclosure and Maturity Default (see Historical Details below)

The borrower maturity default on July 9, 2021, further delays at the project and in sales activities, additional capital requirements, potential restructuring of indebtedness and actions that may be taken by the Senior Lender Group, notwithstanding continuing negotiations with the Senior Lender Group, have negatively impacted our investment interest. Importantly, the acquisition of the senior mortgage by the Senior Mezzanine Lender increases the likelihood of a mortgage foreclosure of our interests. As such, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a fair value loss adjustment of $97.9 million, which represents our remaining proportionate share in the investment.

Historical Details

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we placed the mezzanine loans and preferred equity investment on nonaccrual status and recorded our proportionate share of a fair value loss adjustment totaling $89.3 million, and continued to maintain the nonaccrual status of the CLNY Mezzanine Lender’s B-participation investment.

On May 18, 2021, the bankruptcy court issued a confirmation order approving the amended and restated senior mortgage loan terms and our right to rely on such order to finalize documents with our borrower as it emerges from bankruptcy in accordance with the third amended joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect to amend and restate the senior mortgage loan, subject to customary closing conditions, in the amount of $184.9 million, an upsize which reflects accrued interest and fees during the non-accrual period, collapsing the prior preferred equity investment into the restated senior mortgage loan and certain other costs and expenses associated with bankruptcy. The San Jose Hotel is scheduled to reopen in the first quarter of 2022. As the bankruptcy plan and loan terms were approved in the second quarter of 2021 and our senior loan documents were substantively finalized during the third quarter of 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 we reinstated the loan investment and recognized interest income of $6.8 million, of which $4.4 million relates to past due interest and fees during the non-accrual period of February 2021 through June 2021 and $2.4 million relates to interest income during the third quarter of 2021. We currently hold the senior loan as an unencumbered asset and expect to finance the loan utilizing one of our warehouse facilities.

The New York City metro office markets have experienced substantial increases in vacancy rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Long Island City market has experienced further increases in vacancy as newly developed or renovated properties have become available for leasing. Additionally, the availability of significant sub-lease space in Long Island City has created additional supply at below market rents. There is increasing confidence among market participants that office demand will increase in the near future, as many tenants solidify their return-to-work plans. However, the timeline may not be rapid enough to remedy the negative impact on sponsor’s business plans and leasing activity for these two properties. As such, the underlying individual property cash flows are insufficient to cover their respective debt service payments. In March 2021, we agreed to shift future funding advances from the tenant improvements and leasing costs account to be used for interest carry and operations shortfalls for a period of six months on Loan 12 and twelve months on Loan 13. The six-month shortfall future funding advance period expired in August 2021 for Loan 12 and the borrower deposited six months interest and carry in exchange for certain waivers and extensions that extend through September 2022. In regards to leasing activity at these properties, Loan 13 has in place leases accounting for 21% of the property, along with two license agreements that generate revenue from rooftop signage and antenna space and there is a pending lease expected to be executed representing an additional 10% of the property. Loan 12 has in place leases accounting for 7% of the property with one license agreement for rooftop signage and a pending lease expected to be executed which represents an additional 3% of the property.It is possible that uncertain market conditions and borrower actions may result in a future valuation impairment or investment loss.

We have agreed to forbear the tax and replacement reserve requirements while the borrower pursues a sale of all three properties. The borrower has agreed to accelerated remedies in the event of default after the forbearance period. There are executed purchase and sales agreements for each of the three assets with three separate parties expected to close, subject to customary closing conditions. These sales are expected to generate total combined proceeds sufficient to payoff the debt amount. However, it is possible that a disruption of the sale process could result in a future valuation impairment or investment loss.

Payment-In-Kind (“PIK”) Interest Income

We have debt investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK provision. Contractual PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on an accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded total PIK interest of $11.1 million and $18.3 million, respectively. We will generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or management does not expect the borrower to be able to pay all principal and interest due.

Net Leased and Other Real Estate

Our net leased real estate investment strategy focuses on direct ownership in commercial real estate with an emphasis on properties with stable cash flow, which may be structurally senior to a third-party partner’s equity. In addition, we may own net leased real estate investments through joint ventures with one or more partners. As part of our net leased real estate strategy, we explore a variety of real estate investments including multi-tenant office, multifamily, student housing and industrial. These properties are typically well-located with strong operating partners and we believe offer both attractive cash flow and returns. Additionally, we have three investments in direct ownership of commercial real estate with an emphasis on properties with stable cash flow, which may be structurally senior to a third-party partner’s equity. We own these operating real estate investments through joint ventures with one or more partners. These properties are typically well-located with strong operating partners.

As of September 30, 2021, $695.6 million or 17.6% of our assets were invested in net leased and other real estate properties and these properties were 96.8% occupied. The following table presents our net leased and other real estate investments as of September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

In July 2018, we acquired a class A office campus in Stavenger, Norway (the “Norway Net Lease”) for $320 million. This property is 100% occupied by a single tenant that is rated investment grade AA-/Aa2 from S&P and Moody’s, respectively. The property serves as their global headquarters. The Norway Net Lease requires the tenant to pay for all real estate related expenses, including operational expenditures, capital expenditures and municipality taxes. The Net Lease has a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.3 years and the tenant has the option to extend for two 5-year periods at the same terms with rent adjusted to market rent. The Net Lease also has annual rent increases based on the Norwegian CPI Index. Our tenant has injected a significant amount of capital into improvements of the property over the past 10 years. Financing on the Norway Net Lease consists of a mortgage payable of $186.2 million with a fixed rate of 3.9%, which matures in June 2025. The tenant has made all rent payments and is current on all its financial obligations under the lease. Both the lease payments and mortgage debt service are NOK denominated currency. During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into a series of USD-NOK forward swaps for the total notional amount of 274 million NOK in order to minimize our foreign currency cash flow risk. These quarterly forward swaps are over the next three years through May 2024, where we have agreed to sell NOK and buy USD at a locked in forward curve rate.

In August 2018 we acquired two warehouse distribution facilities located in Tracy, California and Tolleson, Arizona (the “Warehouse Distribution Portfolio”) for $292 million. These two properties are 100% occupied by a single tenant that is rated investment grade Ba1 from Moody’s. The tenant is a national grocer and these properties form a part of its national distribution network. The Warehouse Distribution Portfolio lease (the “Warehouse Distribution Portfolio Lease”) requires the tenant to pay for all real estate related expenses, including operational expenditures, capital expenditures and taxes. The tenant has invested a significant amount of capital expenditures into each property over the past few years and has plans for additional capital expenditures in 2022. The Warehouse Distribution Portfolio Lease has a remaining lease term of 17 years ending in 2038. The tenant has the option to extend the lease for nine 5-year periods at the same terms with rent adjusted to market rent. The Warehouse Distribution Portfolio Lease also has annual rent increases of 1.5%. Financing on the Warehouse Distribution Portfolio consists of mortgage and mezzanine debt for a total combined amount payable of $200 million. The debt is interest only at a blended fixed rate of 4.8% and matures in September 2028. The debt has a defeasance provision for any early loan prepayment. The tenant has made all rent payments and is current on all its financial obligations under the Warehouse Distribution Portfolio Lease.

The Warehouse Distribution Portfolio has generated a net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $5.1 million and $15.2 million, respectively; and the asset value on our consolidated balance sheet is $264.8 million as of September 30, 2021. During the second quarter of 2020, we completed an asset level preferred financing on five assets which included the Warehouse Distribution Portfolio resulting in a reduction of our at-share ownership in the Warehouse Distribution Portfolio, which is approximately 29% at September 30, 2021. Upon resolution of the 5-Investment Preferred Financing we anticipate repurchasing the remaining interest in the investment. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further discussion regarding the “5-Investment Preferred Financing.”

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures

Distributable Earnings

We present Distributable Earnings, which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure of our performance. We believe that Distributable Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and this metric is a useful indicator for investors in evaluating and comparing our operating performance to our peers and our ability to pay dividends. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018. As a REIT, we are required to distribute substantially all of our taxable income and we believe that dividends are one of the principal reasons investors invest in credit or commercial mortgage REITs such as our company. Over time, Distributable Earnings has been a useful indicator of our dividends per share and we consider that measure in determining the dividend, if any, to be paid. This supplemental financial measure also helps us to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and U.S. GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current portfolio and operations. For information on the fees we paid the Manager, see Note 10, “Related Party Arrangements” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

We define Distributable Earnings as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders (or, without duplication, the owners of the common equity of our direct subsidiaries, such as our OP) and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the expenses incurred in connection with our formation or other strategic transactions, (iii) the incentive fee, (iv) acquisition costs from successful acquisitions, (v) gains or losses from sales of real estate property and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, including unconsolidated joint ventures and preferred equity investments, (vi) CECL reserves determined by probability of default/loss given default (“PD/LGD”) model, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the current quarter, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, (ix) one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and (x) certain material non-cash income or expense items that in the judgment of management should not be included in Distributable Earnings. For clauses (ix) and (x), such exclusions shall only be applied after approval by a majority of our independent directors. Distributable Earnings include provision for loan losses when realized. Loan losses are realized when such amounts are deemed nonrecoverable at the time the loan is repaid, or if the underlying asset is sold following foreclosure, or if we determine that it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected; realized loan losses to be included in Distributable Earnings is the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the book value of the asset.

Additionally, we define Adjusted Distributable Earnings ~~does~~as Distributable Earnings excluding (i) realized gains and losses on asset sales, (ii) fair value adjustments or unrealized gains or losses, (iii) realized provision for loan losses and (iv) one-time gains or losses that in the judgement of management should not be included in Adjusted Distributable Earnings. We believe Adjusted Distributable Earnings is a useful indicator for investors to further evaluate and compare our operating performance to our peers and our ability to pay dividends, net of the impact of any gains or losses on assets sales or fair value adjustments, as described above.

Distributable Earnings and Adjusted Distributable Earnings do not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP net income or an indication of our cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings and Adjusted Distributable Earnings may differ from methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar non-GAAP supplemental

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, weighted average number of common shares includes 3.1 million OP units.

NOI

We believe NOI to be a useful measure of operating performance of our net leased and other real estate portfolios as they are more closely linked to the direct results of operations at the property level. NOI excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, which are based on different useful life estimates depending on the age of the properties, as well as adjustments for the effects of real estate impairment and gains or losses on sales of depreciated properties, which eliminate differences arising from investment and disposition decisions. Additionally, by excluding corporate level expenses or benefits such as interest expense, any gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and income taxes, which are incurred by the parent entity and are not directly linked to the operating performance of the Company’s properties, NOI provides a measure of operating performance independent of the Company’s capital structure and indebtedness. However, the exclusion of these items as well as others, such as capital expenditures and leasing costs, which are necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, and transaction costs and administrative costs, may limit the usefulness of NOI. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of U.S. GAAP net income (loss) which further limits its usefulness.

NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. In addition, our methodology for calculating NOI involves subjective judgment and discretion and may differ from the methodologies used by other companies, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary liquidity needs include commitments to repay borrowings, finance our assets and operations, meet future funding obligations, make distributions to our stockholders and fund other general business needs. We use significant cash to make additional investments, meet commitments to existing investments, repay the principal of and interest on our borrowings and pay other financing costs, make distributions to our stockholders and fund our operations.

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash generated from our operating activities and cash generated from asset sales and investment maturities. However, subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT and our Investment Company Act exclusion, we may use several sources to finance our business, including bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), master repurchase facilities and securitizations, as described below. In addition to our current sources of liquidity, there may be opportunities from time to time to access liquidity through public offerings of debt and equity securities. We also invested in a number of our assets through co-investments with other investment vehicles managed by third parties, which has and may allow us to pool capital to access larger transactions and diversify investment exposure.

Financing Strategy

We have a multi-pronged financing strategy that includes an up to $300 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, secured revolving credit facility, up to approximately $2.1 billion in secured revolving repurchase facilities, ~~$840~~$1,510 million in non-recourse securitization financing, $700 million in commercial mortgages and $65 million in other asset-level financing structures. In addition, we may use other forms of financing, including additional warehouse facilities, public and private secured and unsecured debt issuances and equity or equity-related securities issuances by us or our subsidiaries. We may also finance a portion of our investments through the syndication of one or more interests in a whole loan. We will seek to match the nature and duration of the financing with the underlying asset’s cash flow, including using hedges, as appropriate.

Potential Sources of Liquidity

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our business, and we have taken actions since its onset to protect our liquidity. However, the pandemic’s impact on the financial condition of our borrowers and their ability to make their monthly mortgage payments and remain in compliance with loan covenants and terms is uncertain, and the failure of our borrowers to meet their loan obligations may trigger repayments under our Bank Credit Facility and Master Repurchase Facilities.

Additionally, if our operating real estate lessees are unable to make monthly rent payments, we would be unable to make our monthly mortgage payments which could result in defaults under these obligations or trigger repayments under our Bank Credit Facility. If these events were to occur, we may not have sufficient available cash to repay amounts due.

Bank Credit Facilities

We use bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities) to finance our business. These financings may be collateralized or non-collateralized and may involve one or more lenders. Credit facilities typically have maturities ranging from two to five years and may accrue interest at either fixed or floating rates.

On February 1, 2018, the OP (together with certain subsidiaries of the OP from time to time party thereto as borrowers, collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Bank Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the several lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide a revolving credit facility.

On April 5, 2021, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Bank Credit Facility to: (i) permit the OP to consummate the Internalization; (ii) reduce the minimum tangible net worth covenant requirement from $1.5 billion to $1.35 billion upon consummation of the Internalization; (iii) increase our ability to make restricted payments including additional dividends and stock buybacks and the removal all material restrictions on new investments, in each case, so long as no default exists and the OP is in compliance with the financial covenants; (iv) increase the maximum amount available for borrowing from 90% to 100% of borrowing base value; and (v) reduce the aggregate amount of lender commitments from $450 million to $300 million.

Advances under the Bank Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the applicable Borrower’s election, either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25%, or a base rate determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate plus a margin of 1.25%. An unused commitment fee at a rate of 0.25% or 0.35%, per annum, depending on the amount of facility utilization, applies to un-utilized borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Facility. Amounts owing under the Bank Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs in the case of borrowings with respect to which a LIBOR rate election is in effect.

The maximum amount available for borrowing at any time under the Bank Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base valuation of certain investment assets, with the valuation of such investment assets generally determined according to a percentage of adjusted net book value. As of the date hereof, the borrowing base valuation is sufficient to support the outstanding borrowings. The Bank Credit Facility will mature on February 1, 2022, unless the OP elects to exercise the extension options for up to two additional terms of six months each, subject to the terms and conditions in the Bank Credit Facility, resulting in a latest maturity date of February 1, 2023.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Bank Credit Facility are guaranteed by substantially all material wholly owned subsidiaries of the OP pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the OP and certain subsidiaries of the OP in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) and, subject to certain exceptions, secured by a pledge of substantially all equity interests owned by the Borrowers and the guarantors, as well as by a security interest in deposit accounts of the Borrowers and the Guarantors (as such terms are defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which the proceeds of investment asset distributions are maintained.

The Bank Credit Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, the obligation of the Company to maintain REIT status and be listed on the NYSE, and limitations on debt, liens and restricted payments. In

~~Table of Contents~~

subsidiaries: (a) consolidated tangible net worth of the OP must be greater than or equal to the sum of (i) $1.35 billion and (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by the OP from any offering of its common equity and of the proceeds from any offering by the Company of its common equity to the extent such proceeds are contributed to the OP, excluding any such proceeds that are contributed to the OP within ninety (90) days of receipt and applied to acquire capital stock of the OP; (b) the OP’s earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, and amortization plus lease expenses to fixed charges for any period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters must be not less than 1.50 to 1.00; (c) the OP’s interest coverage ratio must be not less than 3.00 to 1.00; and (d) the OP’s ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total assets must be not more than 0.70 to 1.00. The Bank Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to make payments when due, breach of covenants or representations, cross default to material indebtedness or material judgment defaults, bankruptcy matters involving any Borrower or any Guarantor and certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default will limit the ability of the OP and its subsidiaries to make distributions and may result in the termination of the credit facility, acceleration of repayment obligations and the exercise of remedies by the Lenders with respect to the collateral.

Master Repurchase Facilities and CMBS Credit Facilities

Currently, our primary source of financing is our Master Repurchase Facilities, which we use to finance the origination of senior loans, and CMBS Credit Facilities, which we use to finance the purchase of securities. Repurchase agreements effectively allow us to borrow against loans, participations and securities that we own in an amount generally equal to (i) the market value of such loans, participations and/or securities multiplied by (ii) the applicable advance rate. Under these agreements, we sell our loans, participations and securities to a counterparty and agree to repurchase the same loans and securities from the counterparty at a price equal to the original sales price plus an interest factor. During the term of a repurchase agreement, we receive the principal and interest on the related loans, participations and securities and pay interest to the lender under the master repurchase agreement. We intend to maintain formal relationships with multiple counterparties to obtain master repurchase financing on favorable terms.

During the first quarter of 2021, we entered into an amendment under our Master Repurchase Facility with Bank 3 and Bank 7 to extend the maturity date by two years and three years, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into an amendment under our Master Repurchase Facility with Bank 1, Bank 8 and Bank 89 to extend the maturity date by three years, two years and two and a half years, respectively.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, we entered into amendments under our six Master Repurchase Facilities to: (i) permit the guarantor to consummate the Internalization; and (ii) reduce the minimum tangible net worth covenant requirement from $1.5 billion to $1.35 billion upon consummation of the Internalization.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 we had entered into eight master repurchase agreements (collectively the “CMBS Credit Facilities”) to finance CMBS investments. The CMBS Credit Facilities are on a recourse basis and contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type. The CMBS Credit Facilities were undrawn ~~at June~~as of September 30, 2021.

Securitizations

We may seek to utilize non-recourse long-term securitizations of our investments in mortgage loans, especially loan originations, to the extent consistent with the maintenance of our REIT qualification and exclusion from the Investment Company Act in order to generate cash for funding new investments. This would involve conveying a pool of assets to a special purpose vehicle (or the issuing entity), which would issue one or more classes of non-recourse notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture. The notes would be secured by the pool of assets. In exchange for the transfer of assets to the issuing entity, we would receive the cash proceeds on the sale of non-recourse notes and a 100% interest in the equity of the issuing entity. The securitization of our portfolio investments might magnify our exposure to losses on those portfolio investments because any equity interest we retain in the issuing entity would be subordinate to the notes issued to investors and we would, therefore, absorb all of the losses sustained with respect to a securitized pool of assets before the owners of the notes experience any losses.

In October 2019, we executed a securitization transaction through our subsidiaries, CLNC 2019-FL1, Ltd. and CLNC 2019-FL1, LLC, which resulted in the sale of ~~$840~~$840.4 million of investment grade notes. The securitization reflects an advance rate of 83.5% at a weighted average cost of funds of ~~LIBOR~~SOFR plus 1.59% (before transaction expenses) and is collateralized by a pool of 24 senior loan ~~investments,~~investments.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that LIBOR tenors relevant to CLNC 2019-FL1 would cease to be published or no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) interpreted this announcement to constitute a benchmark transition event. As of June 17, 2021, the benchmark index interest rate was converted from LIBOR to SOFR, plus a benchmark adjustment of 11.448 basis points with a lookback period equal to the number of calendar days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period plus two SOFR business days, conforming with the indenture agreement and recommendations from the ARRC. Compounded SOFR for any interest accrual period shall be the “30-Day Average SOFR” as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on each benchmark determination date.

As of September 30, 2021, the CLNC 2019-FL1 mortgage assets are indexed to LIBOR and the borrowings under CLNC 2019-FL are indexed to SOFR, creating an underlying benchmark index rate basis difference between CLNC 2019-FL1 assets and liabilities, which ~~we originated.~~is meant to be mitigated by the benchmark replacement adjustment described above. We have the right to transition the CLNC 2019-FL1 mortgage assets to SOFR, eliminating the basis difference between CLNC 2019-FL1 assets and liabilities, and will make its determination taking into account the loan portfolio as a whole. The transition to SOFR is not expected to have a material impact to CLNC 2019-FL1’s assets and liabilities and related interest expense.

CLNC 2019-FL1 includes a two-year reinvestment feature that allows us to contribute existing or newly originated loan investments in exchange for proceeds from repayments or repurchases of loans held in CLNC 2019-FL1, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the indenture. In addition to existing eligible loans available for reinvestment, the continued origination of securitization eligible loans is required to ensure that we reinvest the available proceeds within CLNC 2019-FL1. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and through ~~August 4,~~November 2, 2021, two loans held in CLNC 2019-FL1 were fully repaid, totaling ~~$114.9~~$121.7 million. Additionally, during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 a loan

Table of Contents

investment held in CLNC 2019-FL1 was removed as a result of the loan ~~defaulting,~~becoming a credit risk collateral interest, totaling ~~$100.0~~25.0 million. We replaced the repaid and ~~defaulted loans~~credit risk assets by contributing existing loan investments of equal value. The reinvestment period for CLNC 2019-FL1 expired on October 19, 2021. Going forward, principal proceeds from underlying loans will be used to amortize the securitization bonds payable going forward.

Additionally, CLNC 2019-FL1 contains note protection tests that can be triggered as a result of contributed loan defaults, losses, and certain other events outlined in the indenture, beyond established thresholds. A note protection test failure that is not remedied can result in the redirection of interest proceeds from the below investment grade tranches to amortize the most senior outstanding tranche. While we continue to closely monitor all loan investments contributed to CLNC 2019-FL1, a deterioration in the performance of an underlying loan could negatively impact our liquidity position.

In July 2021, we executed a securitization transaction through our subsidiaries BRSP 2021-FL1 Ltd. and BRSP 2021-FL1, LLC, which resulted in the sale of ~~$800~~$670 million of investment grade notes. The securitization reflects an advance rate of 83.75% at a weighted costs of funds of LIBOR plus 1.49% (before transaction expenses) and is collateralized by a pool of 31 floating-rate mortgages secured by 41 properties. The asset collateral is located across 11 states and primarily consists of multifamily properties, with the remainder collateralized by office and self-storage.

33 senior loan investments.

BRSP 2021-FL1 includes a two-year reinvestment feature that allows us to contribute existing or newly originated loan investments in exchange for proceeds from repayments or repurchases of loans held in BRSP 2021-FL1, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the indenture. In addition to existing eligible loans available for reinvestment, the continued origination of securitization eligible loans is required to ensure that we reinvest the available proceeds within BRSP 2021-FL1. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and through November 2, 2021, two loans held in BRSP 2021-FL1 were fully repaid, totaling $126.2 million. We replaced the repaid loans by contributing existing loan investments of equal value.

5-Investment Preferred Financing

On June 5, 2020, we entered into a preferred financing arrangement (on a portfolio of five of our underlying investment interests) (the “5-Investment Preferred Financing”) from investment vehicles managed by Goldman Sachs (“GS”). The preferred financing provided $200 million of proceeds at closing.

The preferred financing is limited to (i) our interests in four co-investments alongside investment funds managed by affiliates of the Manager, each of which are financings on underlying development projects (including residential, office and/or mixed-use components), and (ii) a wholly-owned triple-net industrial distribution center investment leased to a national grocery chain. The preferred financing provides GS a 10% preferred return and certain other minimum returns, as well as a minority interest in future cash flows.

The transaction resulted in net liquidity to us of approximately $170 million, net of approximately $30 million in paydowns under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility. The preferred financing provides the ability to draw down up to an additional $29 million of commitments from GS for future advances to the portfolio, if any, at our same advance rate.

The following table presents a summary of the five assets included in the portfolio financing as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

~~(2)~~

~~The portfolio financing recognized $0.2 million in expenses for the period ended June 30, 2021 that are excluded from the assets shown in the table above.~~Table of Contents

We and our affiliates control the continuing investment and portfolio management of such investments and such investments are consolidated on our consolidated balance sheet at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The preferred financing provides for a disproportionate allocation of profits and losses and the share of income or loss is determined using a balance sheet approach known as the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method. Under the HLBV method, earnings and losses are recognized based on how an entity would allocate and distribute its cash if it were to sell all of its assets and settle its liabilities for their carrying amounts and liquidate at the reporting date. Under the HLBV method, we could record, in any period, more or less income than may be generated in the case of an actual liquidation. The preferred financing resulted in a reallocation of a portion of stockholders equity to noncontrolling interest, resulting in a $69 million day one reduction in stockholders equity. The noncontrolling interest in investment entities on our consolidated balance sheet includes ~~$233.7~~$219.6 million representing GS’s investment at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 under the HLBV method.

We anticipate using the proceeds from the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale to pay-off the 5-Investment Preferred Financing. See “Our Portfolio” above for further information on the Co-Invest Portfolio Sale.

Other potential sources of financing

In the future, we may also use other sources of financing to fund the acquisition of our target assets, including secured and unsecured forms of borrowing and selective wind-down and dispositions of assets. We may also seek to raise equity capital or issue debt securities in order to fund our future investments.

Cash Flows

The following presents a summary of our consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities

Cash inflows from operating activities are generated primarily through interest received from loans receivable and securities, property operating income from our real estate portfolio, and distributions of earnings received from unconsolidated ventures. This is partially offset by payment of interest expenses for credit facilities and mortgages payable, and operating expenses supporting our various lines of business, including property management and operations, loan servicing and workout of loans in default, investment transaction costs, as well as general administrative costs.

Our operating activities used net cash outflows of ~~$128.6~~$71.0 million and provided net cash ~~flows~~inflows of ~~$29.6~~$44.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased ~~$158.2~~$115.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, primarily due to lower net property operating income and net interest income earned resulting from sales of real estate properties and loans throughout ~~2020.~~2021.

Table of Contents

We believe cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through short- and long-term borrowings are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs.

Investing Activities

Investing activities include cash outlays for acquisition of real estate, disbursements on new and/or existing loans, and contributions to unconsolidated ventures, which are partially offset by repayments and sales of loan receivables, distributions of capital received from unconsolidated ventures, proceeds from sale of real estate, as well as proceeds from maturity or sale of securities.

Investing activities used net cash outflows of ~~$277.2~~$474.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Net cash used in investing activities in 2021 resulted primarily from originations and future advances on our loans and preferred equity held for investment, net of ~~$822.8 million~~$1.3 billion partially offset by proceeds from sales of real estate of $332.0 million, repayments on loan and preferred equity held for investment of ~~$124.2~~$357.2 million and ~~proceeds from sales~~repayments of principal in mortgage loans held in securitization trusts of ~~$28.7~~$70.8 million.

~~Table of Contents~~

Investing activities generated net cash inflows of ~~$449.8~~$831.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities in 2020 resulted primarily from ~~proceeds from sale of real estate of $161.8 million,~~ repayment on loan and preferred equity held for investment of ~~$160.1~~$334.2 million, proceeds from sale of ~~investments in unconsolidated ventures~~real estate of ~~$100.0~~$300.5 million, proceeds from sale of loans held for sale of $137.1 million and proceeds from sale of real estate securities, available for sale of ~~$89.7 million, and proceeds from sale of loans held for sale of $32.6~~$118.6 million partially offset by originations and future advances on our loans and preferred equity held for investment, net of ~~$66.7~~$122.4 million, and contributions to investments in unconsolidated ventures of $47.5 million.

Financing Activities

We finance our investing activities largely through borrowings secured by our investments along with capital from third party or affiliated co-investors. We also have the ability to raise capital in the public markets through issuances of common stock, as well as draw upon our corporate credit facility, to finance our investing and operating activities. Accordingly, we incur cash outlays for payments on third party debt, dividends to our common stockholders as well as distributions to our noncontrolling interests.

Financing activities provided net cash of ~~$155.9~~$283.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2021 resulted primarily from borrowings from credit facilities and securitization bonds in the ~~amount~~amounts of ~~$675.4~~$943.7 million and of $670.0 million, respectively, partially offset by repayment of credit facilities of $920.6 million, repayment of mortgage notes of ~~$263.3~~$264.8 million, repayment of ~~credit facilities~~mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts of ~~$208.0~~$70.8 million, and distributions to noncontrolling interests in the amount of ~~$23.9~~$40.2 million.

Financing activities used net cash of ~~$152.2~~$535.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. Net cash used in financing activities in 2020 resulted primarily from repayment of credit facilities of ~~$454.2~~$745.7 million, repayment of mortgage notes of ~~$77.9~~$156.1 million, distributions paid on common stock toand noncontrolling interests of $52.6 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests in the amount of ~~$14.2~~$22.9 million. This was partially offset by of borrowings from credit facilities in the amount of $255.1 million, contributions to the 5-Investment Preferred Financing of $200.0 million, and borrowings from mortgage notes in the amount of ~~$13.3~~$15.0 million.

(1)Future interest payments were estimated based on the applicable index at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and unused commitment fee of 0.35% per annum, assuming principal is repaid on the current maturity date of February 2022.

(2)Amounts include minimum principal and interest obligations through the initial maturity date of the collateral assets. Interest on floating rate debt was determined based on the applicable index at ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

(3)The timing of future principal payments was estimated based on expected future cash flows of underlying collateral loans. Repayments are estimated to be earlier than contractual maturity only if proceeds from underlying loans are repaid by the borrowers.

(4)The ~~Company assumed noncancelable operating ground leases as lessee or sublessee in connection with net lease properties acquired through the CLNY Contributions. The~~ amounts represent minimum future base rent commitments through initial expiration dates of the respective noncancellable operating ground leases, excluding any contingent rent payments. Rents paid under ground leases are recoverable from tenants.

(5)Future lending commitments may be subject to certain conditions that borrowers must meet to qualify for such fundings. Commitment amount assumes future fundings meet the terms to qualify for such fundings.

Our Investment Strategy

Our objective is to generate consistent and attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders. We seek to achieve this objective primarily through cash distributions and the preservation of invested capital. We believe our diversified investment strategy across the CRE capital stack provides flexibility through economic cycles to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns. This approach is driven by a disciplined investment strategy, focused on:

•capitalizing on asset level underwriting experience and market analytics to identify investments with attractive risk-return profiles;

•primarily originating and structuring CRE senior mortgage loans and selective investments in mezzanine loans and preferred equity with attractive return profiles relative to the underlying value and financial operating performance of the real estate collateral, given the strength and quality of the sponsorship;

•structuring transactions with a prudent amount of leverage, if any, given the risk of the underlying asset’s cash flows, attempting to match the structure and duration of the financing with the underlying asset’s cash flows, including through the use of hedges, as appropriate.

•identifying net leased real estate investments based on property location and purpose, tenant credit quality, market lease rates and potential appreciation of, and alternative uses for, the real estate; and

•selectively identifying appropriate CRE debt securities investments based on the performance of the underlying real estate assets, the impact of such performance on the credit return profile of the investments and our expected return on the investments;

The period for which we intend to hold our investments will vary depending on the type of asset, interest rates, investment performance, micro and macro real estate environment, capital markets and credit availability, among other factors. We generally expect to hold debt investments until the stated maturity and equity investments in accordance with each investment’s proposed business plan. We may sell all or a partial ownership interest in an investment before the end of the expected holding period if we believe that market conditions have maximized its value to us or the sale of the asset would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Our investment strategy is dynamic and flexible, enabling us to adapt to shifts in economic, real estate and capital market conditions and to exploit market inefficiencies. We may expand or change our investment strategy or target assets over time in response to opportunities available in different economic and capital market conditions. This flexibility in our investment strategy allows us to employ a customized, solutions-oriented approach, which we believe is attractive to borrowers and tenants. We believe that our diverse portfolio, our ability to originate, acquire and manage our target assets and the flexibility of our investment strategy positions us to capitalize on market inefficiencies and generate attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders through a variety of market conditions and economic cycles.

Underwriting, Asset and Risk Management

We closely monitor our portfolio and actively manages risks associated with, among other things, our assets and interest rates. Prior to investing in any particular asset, the underwriting team, in conjunction with third party providers, undertakes a rigorous asset-level due diligence process, involving intensive data collection and analysis, to ensure that we understand fully the state of the market and the risk-reward profile of the asset. Beginning in 2021, our investment and portfolio management and risk assessment practices diligence the environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) standards of our business counterparties, including borrowers, sponsors, partners and service providers, and that of our investment assets and underlying collateral, which may include sustainability initiatives, recycling, energy efficiency and water management, volunteer and charitable efforts, anti-money laundering and know-your-client policies, and diversity, equity and inclusion practices in workforce leadership, composition and hiring practices. Prior to making a final investment decision, we focus on portfolio diversification to determine whether a target asset will cause our portfolio to be too heavily concentrated with, or cause too much risk exposure to, any one borrower, real estate sector, geographic region, source of cash flow for payment or other geopolitical issues. If we determine that a proposed acquisition presents excessive concentration risk, it may determine not to acquire an otherwise attractive asset.

For each asset that we acquire, our asset management team engages in active management of the asset, the intensity of which depends on the attendant risks. The asset manager works collaboratively with the underwriting team to formulate a strategic plan for the particular asset, which includes evaluating the underlying collateral and updating valuation assumptions to reflect changes in the real estate market and the general economy. This plan also generally outlines several strategies for the asset to extract the maximum amount of value from each asset under a variety of market conditions. Such strategies may vary depending on the type of asset, the availability of refinancing options, recourse and maturity, but may include, among others, the restructuring of non-performing or sub-performing loans, the negotiation of discounted pay-offs or other modification of the terms governing a loan, and the foreclosure and management of assets underlying non-performing loans in order to reposition them for profitable disposition. We continuously track the progress of an asset against the original business plan to ensure that

~~Table of Contents~~

the attendant risks of continuing to own the asset do not outweigh the associated rewards. Under these circumstances, certain assets will require intensified asset management in order to achieve optimal value realization.

Our asset management team engages in a proactive and comprehensive on-going review of the credit quality of each asset it manages. In particular, for debt investments on at least an annual basis, the asset management team will evaluate the financial wherewithal of individual borrowers to meet contractual obligations as well as review the financial stability of the assets securing such debt investments. Further, there is ongoing review of borrower covenant compliance including the ability of borrowers to meet certain negotiated debt service coverage ratios and debt yield tests. For equity investments, the asset management team, with the assistance of third-party property managers, monitors and reviews key metrics such as occupancy, same store sales, tenant payment rates, property budgets and capital expenditures. If through this analysis of credit quality, the asset management team encounters declines in credit not in accord with the original business plan, the team evaluates the risks and determine what changes, if any, are required to the business plan to ensure that the attendant risks of continuing to hold the investment do not outweigh the associated rewards.

In addition, the audit committee of our Board of Directors, in consultation with management, periodically reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including key risks to which we are subject, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such risks.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates and assumptions that involve the exercise of judgment and that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Updates

For recent accounting updates, refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial ~~Statement.~~Statements.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risks are interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk, credit risk, real estate market risk, capital market risk and foreign currency risk, either directly through the assets held or indirectly through investments in unconsolidated ventures, with each risk heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As stated in the “Impact of COVID-19” section in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we are taking steps to mitigate certain risks associated with COVID-19, however the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us, our business, our borrowers and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic efforts of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental, monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. Credit curve spread risk is highly sensitive to the dynamics of the markets for loans and securities we hold. Excessive supply of these assets combined with reduced demand will cause the market to require a higher yield. This demand for higher yield will cause the market to use a higher spread over the U.S. Treasury securities yield curve, or other benchmark interest rates, to value these assets.

101

Table of Contents

As U.S. Treasury securities are priced to a higher yield and/or the spread to U.S. Treasuries used to price the assets increases, the price at which we could sell some of our fixed rate financial assets may decline. Conversely, as U.S. Treasury securities are priced to a lower yield and/or the spread to U.S. Treasuries used to price the assets decreases, the value of our fixed rate financial assets may increase. Fluctuations in LIBOR may affect the amount of interest income we earn on our floating rate borrowings and interest expense we incur on borrowings indexed to LIBOR, including under credit facilities and investment-level financing.

We utilize a variety of financial instruments on some of our investments, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts, in order to limit the effects of fluctuations in interest rates on their operations. The use of these types of derivatives to hedge interest-earning assets and/or interest-bearing liabilities carries certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for distribution and that such losses may exceed the amount invested

~~Table of Contents~~

in such instruments. A hedge may not perform its intended purpose of offsetting losses of rising interest rates. Moreover, with respect to certain of the instruments used as hedges, there is exposure to the risk that the counterparties may cease making markets and quoting prices in such instruments, which may inhibit the ability to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to an open position. Our profitability may be adversely affected during any period as a result of changing interest rates.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable interest rate benchmark on our loan portfolio would decrease interest income by ~~$9.5~~$7.2 million annually, net of interest expense.

Prepayment risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that principal will be repaid at a different rate than anticipated, resulting in a less than expected return on an investment. As prepayments of principal are received, any premiums paid on such assets are amortized against interest income, while any discounts on such assets are accreted into interest income. Therefore, an increase in prepayment rates has the following impact: (i) accelerates amortization of purchase premiums, which reduces interest income earned on the assets; and conversely, (ii) accelerates accretion of purchase discounts, which increases interest income earned on the assets.

Extension risk

The weighted average life of assets is projected based on assumptions regarding the rate at which borrowers will prepay or extend their mortgages. If prepayment rates decrease or extension options are exercised by borrowers at a rate that deviates significantly from projections, the life of fixed rate assets could extend beyond the term of the secured debt agreements. This in turn could negatively impact liquidity to the extent that assets may have to be sold and losses may be incurred as a result.

Credit risk

Investment in loans held for investment is subject to a high degree of credit risk through exposure to loss from loan defaults. Default rates are subject to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, borrower financial condition, property performance, property management, supply/demand factors, construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the strength of the U.S. economy and other factors beyond our control, all of which have and may continue to be detrimentally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. All loans are subject to a certain probability of default. We manage credit risk through the underwriting process, acquiring investments at the appropriate discount to face value, if any, and establishing loss assumptions. Performance of the loans is carefully monitored, including those held through joint venture investments, as well as external factors that may affect their value.

We are also subject to the credit risk of the tenants in our properties, including business closures, occupancy levels, meeting rent or other expense obligations, lease concessions, and ESG standards and practices among other factors, all of which have and may continue to be detrimentally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We seek to undertake a rigorous credit evaluation of the tenants prior to acquiring properties. This analysis includes an extensive due diligence investigation of the tenants’ businesses, as well as an assessment of the strategic importance of the underlying real estate to the respective tenants’ core business operations. Where appropriate, we may seek to augment the tenants’ commitment to the properties by structuring various credit enhancement mechanisms into the underlying leases. These mechanisms could include security deposit requirements or guarantees from entities that are deemed credit worthy.

We are working closely with our borrowers and tenants to address the impact of COVID-19 on their business. Our in-depth understanding of CRE and real estate-related investments, and in-house underwriting, asset management and resolution capabilities, provides us and management with a sophisticated full-service platform to regularly evaluate our investments and determine primary, secondary or alternative strategies to manage the credit risks described above. This includes intermediate servicing and complex and creative negotiating, restructuring of non-performing investments, foreclosure considerations, intense management or development of owned real estate, in each case to manage the risks faced to achieve value realization events in our interests and our stockholders. Solutions considered due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may include defensive loan or lease modifications, temporary interest or rent deferrals or forbearances, converting current interest payment

102

Table of Contents

obligations to payment-in-kind, repurposing reserves and/or covenant waivers. Depending on the nature of the underlying investment and credit risk, we may pursue repositioning strategies through judicious capital investment in order to extract value from the investment or limit losses.

There can be no assurance that the measures taken will be sufficient to address the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our future operating results, liquidity and financial condition.

Real estate market risk

We are exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market. The market values of commercial real estate are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as changes or weakness in specific industry segments, and other

~~Table of Contents~~

macroeconomic factors beyond our control, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which have and may continue to affect occupancy rates, capitalization rates and absorption rates. This in turn could impact the performance of tenants and borrowers. We seek to manage these risks through their underwriting due diligence and asset management processes and the solutions oriented process described above.

Capital markets risk

We are exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, specifically the ability to finance our business through borrowings under secured revolving repurchase facilities, secured and unsecured warehouse facilities or other debt instruments. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt capital markets to inform their decisions on the amount, timing and terms of their borrowings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a direct and volatile impact on the global markets, including the commercial real estate equity and debt capital markets. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a negative impact on asset valuations and significant constraints on liquidity in the capital markets, which have led to restrictions on lending activity, downward pressure on covenant compliance and requirements to post margin or repayments under master repurchase financing arrangements. Our Master Repurchase Facilities are partial recourse, and margin call provisions do not permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets events; rather they are limited to collateral-specific credit marks generally determined on a commercially reasonable basis. We have timely met margin calls, primarily under our CMBS Credit Facilities.

We have amended our Bank Credit Facility and Master Repurchase Facilities to adjust certain covenants (such as the tangible net worth covenant), reduce advance rates on certain financed assets, obtain margin call holidays and permitted modification flexibilities, in an effort to mitigate the risk of future compliance issues, including margin calls, under our financing arrangements.

We continue to explore similar solutions with financing counterparties to strengthen our financing arrangements, with the understanding that any existing or future amendments may not be sufficient to fully address the impacts of COVID-19 on our business or financing arrangements.

Foreign Currency Risk

We have foreign currency rate exposures related to our foreign currency-denominated investments held by our foreign subsidiaries. Changes in foreign currency rates can adversely affect the fair values and earning of our non-U.S. holdings. We generally mitigate this foreign currency risk by utilizing currency instruments to hedge our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries. The type of hedging instruments that we employ on our foreign subsidiary investments are put options.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had approximately NOK ~~766.2~~723.9 million and ~~€151.4~~€157.0 million or a total of ~~$269.1~~$265.8 million, in net investments in our European subsidiaries. A 1.0% change in these foreign currency rates would result in a $2.7 million increase or decrease in translation gain or loss included in other comprehensive income in connection with our European subsidiaries.

A summary of the foreign exchange contracts in place at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, including notional amount and key terms, is included in Note 15, “Derivatives,” to Part I, Item 1, “Financial ~~Statement.~~Statements.” The maturity dates of these instruments approximate the projected dates of related cash flows for specific investments. Termination or maturity of currency hedging instruments may result in an obligation for payment to or from the counterparty to the hedging agreement. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by counterparties for these contracts. To manage this risk, we select major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties and perform a quarterly review of the financial health and stability of our trading counterparties. Based on our review at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we do not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized

103

information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Neither the Company nor the Manager is currently subject to any material legal proceedings. We anticipate that we may from time to time be involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which we would not expect to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in our other filings with the SEC. These factors may materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In addition, in considering the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere, you should refer to the qualifications and limitations on our forward-looking statements that are described in Forward Looking Statements at the beginning of Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

We terminated our relationship with our manager, which could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategy, adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and/or limit our ability to realize some or all of the targeted benefits of the Internalization.

On April 30, 2021, we completed the Internalization of our management and operating functions and terminated the management agreement with our external manager. Pursuant to the Internalization, we extended offers of employment to certain employees of our external manager who, prior to the Internalization, had contributed substantially to our investment, underwriting, portfolio and asset management, loan servicing, financial reporting, treasury, legal, tax, credit, risk and compliance responsibilities employment, which offers were accepted, and entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Michael J. Mazzei, our Chief Executive Officer and President. Our executive team consists of individuals who were previously employed by, but are no longer affiliated with, the manager, specifically: Michael J. Mazzei, Chief Executive Officer and President; Andrew E. Witt, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President; Frank V. Saracino, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President; and David A. Palamé, General Counsel, Secretary and Executive Vice President. Accordingly, we believe that our success depends significantly upon the experience, skill, resources, relationships and contacts of the executive officers and key personnel. The departure of any of these persons from our management team could have a material adverse effect on our performance. Taken together, our ability to achieve our stated objectives and to realize the expected cost savings through the Internalization may be impacted by increased overhead costs and/or management’s ability to focus on operating our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no sales of unregistered securities of our Company during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, other than those previously disclosed in filings with the SEC.

The Company did not purchase any of its Class A common stock during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.
