Third Quarter Business Update

   --  In August, received a $3.4 million partial paydown on a loan secured by 
      office and retail property located in Chicago, IL. 
 
          --  As of June 30, 2025, the loan was on nonaccrual status with an 
             unpaid principal balance of $79.7 million and risk rating of "5". 
             The office portion of the property was sold, and the net sale 
             proceeds were applied to the outstanding principal balance of the 
             loan, which is now secured by the retail portion of the property. 
             As a result of the partial paydown, the Company expects to 
             reclassify the loan from office to retail. 
 
 
 
   --  In July, resolved a loan secured by a student housing property located 
      in Louisville, KY.

             unpaid principal balance of $50.0 million and risk rating of "5". 
             As a result of the property sale, the Company expects to recognize 
             a write-off of approximately $(19.3) million, which had been 
             reserved for through a previously recorded $(22.6) million 
             allowance for credit losses, and expects to recognize a GAAP 
             benefit from provision for credit losses of approximately $3.3 
             million. 
 
 
 
   --  Extended the maturity of the secured credit facility to December 2026.

             borrowings by $7.5 million. 
 
 
 
   --  During the quarter, the Company has funded approximately $9.7 million 
      in unpaid principal balance on existing loans and has realized about 
      $65.5 million in full and partial principal repayments, excluding the 
      nonaccrual loan resolutions referenced above. 
 
   --  As of September 16, the Company carried approximately $64.3 million in
