Q1 2021 Portfolio Developments 10 ASSET MANAGEMENT • We have been working closely with our borrowers to provide them with short-term relief to help manage through market dislocations and business interruptions at their properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we modified 9 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $395.6 million. Most of these modifications were related to loans that had been previously amended. OTHER PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS • During the three months ended December, 31 2020, a $67.3 million first mortgage loan collateralized by a hotel property located in the Midwest was downgraded to a risk rating of “5” from a risk rating of “4”. The collateral property’s cash flows have been adversely affected by market conditions driven by the pandemic and the related significant decline in business travel. Accordingly, this loan was assessed individually in accordance with ASU 2016-03. As of March 31, 2021, an allowance for credit loss of $8.3 million was recorded for this loan. The loan had been previously modified, including a deferral and capitalization of interest of approximately $2.8 million as of March 31, 2021. During the fourth quarter, we negotiated with the borrower a new short-term extension of the prior modification, which was accounted for as a TDR under GAAP. We continue to evaluate a variety of the potential options with respect to the resolution of this loan, which, among other things, may include a sale of the property or the loan, or a negotiated deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. This loan was current on its contractual interest payments as of March 31, 2021. • During the three months ended March, 31, 2021, a $22.3 million first mortgage loan collateralized by a mixed-use (retail and office) property located in the Northeast was on nonaccrual status due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of this loan was $19.3 million. The loan was assigned a risk rating of “4” at March 31, 2021, unchanged from the prior quarter. • On November 9, 2020, a $40.0 million first mortgage loan collateralized by a student housing property located in the Midwest reached its initial maturity without satisfaction of extension conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, this loan was modified and its maturity was extended to November 9, 2021. The loan was assigned a risk rating of “4” at March 31, 2021, unchanged from the prior quarter.

▪ Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and for all subsequent reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2020, we have elected to present Distributable Earnings, a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as a supplemental method of evaluating our operating performance. Distributable Earnings replaces our prior presentation of Core Earnings with no changes to the definition. In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income as dividends. Distributable Earnings is intended to serve as a general proxy for our taxable income, though it is not a perfect substitute for it, and, as such, is considered a key indicator of our ability to generate sufficient income to pay our common dividends and in determining the amount of such dividends, which is the primary focus of income-oriented investors who comprise a meaningful segment of our stockholder base. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income (loss) and cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. ▪ We use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan portfolio and operations. For reporting purposes, we define Distributable Earnings as net income (loss) attributable to our stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) non-cash equity compensation expense; (ii) depreciation and amortization; (iii) any unrealized gains (losses) or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable reporting period (regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or (loss) or in net income for such period); and (iv) certain non-cash items and one-time expenses. Distributable Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time for reporting purposes to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other material non-cash income or expense items approved by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Distributable Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

▪ While Distributable Earnings excludes the impact of the unrealized non-cash current provision for credit losses, we expect to only recognize such potential credit losses in Distributable Earnings if and when such amounts are deemed non- recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid, or in the case of foreclosure, when the underlying asset is sold, but nonrecoverability may also be concluded if, in our determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. The realized loss amount reflected in Distributable Earnings will equal the difference between the cash received, or expected to be received, and the carrying value of the asset, and is reflective of our economic experience as it relates to the ultimate realization of the loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a $9.1 million benefit from provision for credit losses, which has been excluded from Distributable Earnings consistent with other unrealized gains (losses) and other non-cash items pursuant to our existing policy for reporting Distributable Earnings as referenced above. ▪ Distributable Earnings does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss), or an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operations, a measure of our liquidity, or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. In addition, our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and, accordingly, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to the Distributable Earnings reported by other companies.
