1. ORGANIZATION

References herein to “Blackstone Mortgage Trust,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust is a real estate finance company that primarily originates and purchases senior loans collateralized by properties in the United States and Europe. We are externally managed by BXMT Advisors L.L.C., or our Manager, a subsidiary of The Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, and are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “BXMT.” We are headquartered in New York City.

We conduct our operations as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our various subsidiaries. Our business is organized into two operating segments: the Loan Origination segment and the CT Legacy Portfolio segment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements, including the notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include, on a consolidated basis, our accounts, the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities, or VIEs, of which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the assets and credit of our consolidated subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the debt or other obligations of us, our affiliates, or other entities.

Our subsidiary, CT Legacy Partners, LLC, or CT Legacy Partners, accounts for its operations in accordance with industry-specific GAAP accounting guidance for investment companies, pursuant to which it reports its investments at fair value. We have retained this accounting treatment in consolidation and, accordingly, report the loans and other investments of CT Legacy Partners at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets.

Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation including reclassifying loans receivable, at fair value, into accrued interest receivable, prepaid expenses, and other assets and reclassifying securitized debt obligations into accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all entities that we control through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, we consolidate all VIEs of which we are considered the primarily beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

Certain assets of consolidated VIEs can only be used to satisfy the obligations of those VIEs. The liabilities of consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to us. As of June 30, 2014, our consolidated balance sheet included $28.9 million of other assets, and $19.6 million of other liabilities that were attributable to consolidated VIEs. As of December 31, 2013, our consolidated balance sheet included $49.8 million of other assets, and $40.2 million of other liabilities, all of which were attributable to consolidated VIEs. As of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs were part of our CT Legacy Portfolio segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income from our loans receivable is recognized over the life of each investment using the effective interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Recognition of fees, premiums, discounts, and direct costs associated with these investments is deferred until the loan is advanced and is then recorded over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Income accrual is generally suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of our Manager, recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Income is then recorded on the basis of cash received until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand, and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. We may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. We have not experienced, and do not expect, any losses on our cash or cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

We classify the cash balances held by CT Legacy Partners as restricted because, while these cash balances are available for use by CT Legacy Partners for its operations, they cannot be used by us until our allocable share is distributed from CT Legacy Partners and cannot be commingled with any of our unrestricted cash balances.

Loans Receivable and Provision for Loan Losses

We purchase and originate commercial real estate debt and related instruments generally to be held as long-term investments at amortized cost. We are required to periodically evaluate each of these loans for possible impairment. Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, we write down the loan through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Impairment of these loans, which are collateral dependent, is measured by comparing the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by our Manager. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates.

Our Manager performs a quarterly review of our portfolio of loans. In conjunction with this review, our Manager assesses the performance of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors, including risk of loss, loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, collateral performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Unaudited)

Loans are rated “1” through “8,” from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows:

Loans Held-for-Sale and Related Allowance

In certain cases, we may classify loans as held-for-sale based upon the specific facts and circumstances of particular loans, including known or expected transactions. Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of their amortized cost basis or fair value, less costs to sell. A reduction in the fair value of loans held-for-sale is recorded as a charge to our consolidated statements of operations as a valuation allowance on loans held-for-sale.

Participations Sold

Participations sold represent senior interests in certain loans that we sold. We present these participations sold as both assets and non-recourse liabilities because these arrangements do not qualify as sales under GAAP. Generally, participations sold are recorded as assets and liabilities in equal amounts on our consolidated balance sheets, and an equivalent amount of interest income and interest expense is recorded on our consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Our carried interest in CT Opportunity Partners I, LP, or CTOPI, is accounted for using the equity method. CTOPI’s assets and liabilities are not consolidated into our financial statements due to our determination that (i) it is not a VIE and (ii) the other investors in CTOPI have sufficient rights to preclude consolidation by us. As such, we report our allocable percentage of the net assets of CTOPI on our consolidated balance sheets. The recognition of income from CTOPI is generally deferred until cash is collected or appropriate contingencies have been eliminated.

Deferred Financing Costs

The deferred financing costs that are included in accrued interest receivable, prepaid expenses, and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets include issuance and other costs related to our debt obligations. These costs are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related obligations.

Repurchase Obligations

We record investments financed with repurchase obligations as separate assets and the related borrowings under any repurchase agreements are recorded as separate liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the repurchase obligations are reported separately on our consolidated statements of operations.

Convertible Notes

The “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. We measured the fair value of the debt component of our convertible notes as of the issuance date based on our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The equity component of the convertible notes is reflected within additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheet, and the resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible notes are expected to be outstanding (the maturity date) as additional non-cash interest expense. The additional non-cash interest expense attributable to the convertible notes will increase in subsequent periods through the maturity date as the notes accrete to their par value over the same period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP. Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” Topic of the Codification also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination, as follows:

The value of each asset recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs is determined by an internal committee composed of members of senior management of our Manager, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers.

Certain of our other assets are recorded at fair value either (i) on a recurring basis, as of each quarter-end, or (ii) on a nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. Our assets that are recorded at fair value are discussed further in Note 12. We generally value our assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from third-party dealers. For collateral dependent loans that are identified as impaired, we measure impairment by comparing our Manager’s estimation of fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations may require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by our Manager.

(Unaudited)

We are also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, which are not otherwise reported at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Income Taxes

Our financial results generally do not reflect provisions for current or deferred income taxes on our REIT taxable income. We believe that we operate in a manner that will continue to allow us to be taxed as a REIT and, as a result, we generally do not expect to pay substantial corporate level taxes other than those payable by our taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, we may be subject to federal, state, and local income tax on current and past income, and penalties. Refer to Note 10 for additional information.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation consists of awards issued to our Manager and certain of its employees that vest over the life of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards in net income on a variable basis over the applicable vesting period of the awards, based on the value of our class A common stock. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share, or Basic EPS, is computed in accordance with the two-class method and is based on the net earnings allocable to our class A common stock, restricted class A common stock, and deferred stock units, divided by the weighted-average number of shares of class A common stock, restricted class A common stock, and deferred stock units outstanding during the period. Our restricted class A common stock is considered a participating security, as defined by GAAP, and has been included in our Basic EPS under the two-class method as these restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains or losses.

Diluted earnings per share, or Diluted EPS, is determined using the treasury stock method, and is based on the net earnings allocable to our class A common stock, restricted class A common stock, and deferred stock units, divided by the weighted-average number of shares of class A common stock, restricted class A common stock, and deferred stock units. Refer to Note 8 for additional discussion of earnings per share.

Foreign Currency

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions not denominated in United States, or U.S., dollars. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on such transactions are recorded as a gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we consolidate entities that have a non-U.S. dollar functional currency. Non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and income, expenses, gains, and losses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates that they were recorded. Cumulative translation adjustments arising from the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated subsidiaries are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Segment Reporting

We operate our real estate finance business through a Loan Origination segment and a CT Legacy Portfolio segment. The Loan Origination segment includes our activities associated with the origination and acquisition of mortgage loans, the capitalization of our loan portfolio, and the costs associated with operating our business generally. The CT Legacy Portfolio segment includes our activities specifically related to CT Legacy Partners, CT CDO I, a securitization vehicle formed in 2004, and our equity investment in CTOPI. Our Manager makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of our business segments based on financial and operating data and metrics generated from our internal information systems.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, “Financial Services-Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements,” or ASU 2013-08. ASU 2013-08 amends the criteria for qualification as an investment company under Topic 946 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or Topic 946, and requires additional disclosure by investment companies. ASU 2013-08 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively. We currently consolidate CT Legacy Partners, which accounts for its operations as an investment company under Topic 946. The adoption of ASU 2013-08 did not impact CT Legacy Partners’ status as an investment company. Further, because ASU 2013-08 specifically excluded REITs from its scope, it did not otherwise impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 broadly amends the accounting guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2013-08 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied prospectively. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures,” or ASU 2014-11. ASU 2014-11 amends the accounting guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings, and requires additional disclosure about certain transactions by the transferor. ASU 2014-11 is effective for certain transactions that qualify for sales treatment for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The new disclosure requirements for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that qualify for secured borrowing treatment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2014. We currently record our repurchase arrangements as secured borrowings and do not anticipate that ASU 2014-11 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, INCLUDING RESTRICTED CASH

As discussed in Note 2, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.

Loan Risk Ratings

As described in Note 2, our Manager evaluates our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan portfolio review, our Manager assesses the performance of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. One of the primary factors considered is how senior or junior each loan is relative to other debt obligations of the borrower. Additional factors considered in the assessment include risk of loss, current LTV, collateral performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “8” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2.

Loan Impairments

We do not have any loan impairments or loans in maturity default as of June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, CT CDO I, which is a component of our CT Legacy Portfolio segment, had one impaired subordinate interest in a mortgage loan with a gross book value of $10.5 million that was delinquent on its contractual payments. As of December 31, 2013, we had recorded a 100% loan loss reserve on this loan. This loan was subsequently written-off resulting in an aggregate loan loss reserve of zero as of June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, CT CDO I had one loan with a net book value of $27.0 million in maturity default, but which had no reserve recorded due to our expectation of future repayment. In June 2014, this loan was restructured and reclassified to other assets.

Nonaccrual Loans

As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any nonaccrual loans in our loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2013, CT CDO I had one subordinate interest in a mortgage loan on nonaccrual status with a principal balance of $10.5 million and a net book value of zero. This loan was subsequently written-off resulting in an aggregate loan loss reserve of zero as of June 30, 2014. In accordance with our revenue recognition policies discussed in Note 2, we do not accrue interest on loans that are 90 days past due or, in the opinion of our Manager, are otherwise uncollectable. Accordingly, we did not have any material interest receivable accrued on nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

5. EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

As of June 30, 2014, our equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries consisted solely of our carried interest in CTOPI, a fund sponsored and managed by an affiliate of our Manager. Activity relating to our equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries was ($ in thousands):

Our carried interest in CTOPI entitles us to earn promote revenue in an amount equal to 17.7% of the fund’s profits, after a 9% preferred return and 100% return of capital to the CTOPI partners. As of June 30, 2014, we had been allocated $14.0 million of promote revenue from CTOPI based on a hypothetical liquidation of the fund at its net asset value. Accordingly, we have recognized this allocation as an equity investment in CTOPI on our consolidated balance sheets. Generally, we defer recognition of income from CTOPI until cash is received and appropriate contingencies have been eliminated. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we received a $14.1 million distribution from CTOPI in respect of our carried interest and recorded such amount as income in our consolidated statement of operations. In addition, we had previously recorded, but deferred recognition of, $10.2 million of advance distributions in respect of our carried interest to allow us to pay any income owed on phantom taxable income allocated to us from the partnership. We recognized these prior distributions as income during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as all fund-level contingencies have been satisfied.

CTOPI Incentive Management Fee Grants

In January 2011, we created a management compensation pool for employees equal to 45% of the CTOPI promote distributions received by us. As of June 30, 2014, we had granted 96% of the pool, and the remainder was unallocated. If any awards remain unallocated at the time promote distributions are received by us, any amounts otherwise payable to the unallocated awards will be distributed pro rata to the plan participants then employed by an affiliate of our Manager.

Approximately 65% of these grants have the following vesting schedule: (i) one-third on the date of grant; (ii) one-third on September 13, 2012; and (iii) the remainder is contingent on continued employment with an affiliate of our Manager and upon our receipt of promote distributions from CTOPI. Of the remaining 35% of these grants, 31% are fully vested as a result of an acceleration event, and 4% vest solely upon our receipt of promote distributions from CTOPI or the disposition of certain investments owned by CTOPI.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we made payments of $11.2 million under the CTOPI incentive plan, which amount was recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

6. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

Repurchase Facilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into three revolving repurchase facilities and one asset-specific repurchase agreement, providing an additional $1.6 billion of credit capacity.

(Unaudited)

The following table details our repurchase obligations outstanding ($ in thousands):

The weighted-average outstanding repurchase obligation balance was $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Revolving Repurchase Facilities

As of June 30, 2014, we had aggregate borrowings of $1.5 billion outstanding under our revolving repurchase facilities, with a weighted-average cash coupon of LIBOR plus 1.95% per annum and a weighted-average all-in cost of credit, including associated fees and expenses, of LIBOR plus 2.19% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, outstanding borrowings under these facilities had a weighted-average maturity, excluding extension options and term-out provisions, of 2.3 years. Borrowings under each facility are subject to the initial approval of eligible collateral loans by the lender and the maximum advance rate and pricing rate of individual advances are determined with reference to the attributes of the respective collateral loan.

Our $500.0 million master repurchase agreement with Bank of America has an initial maturity date of May 21, 2017, subject to two one-year extension options, each of which may be exercised by us. The weighted-average pricing rate of the $387.7 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2014 was LIBOR plus 1.78% and the weighted-average maximum advance rate was 78.7%. We guarantee 50% of the advances related to senior collateral and 100% of the advances related to mezzanine and junior mortgage collateral under this facility. Otherwise, obligations under this repurchase agreement are not recourse to us.

Our $500.0 million master repurchase agreement with Citibank has an initial facility expiration date of June 12, 2017, which may be extended annually by us. If upon the initial facility expiration date, Citibank does not extend the facility availability period, in its sole discretion, then no new advances may be drawn and all collateral interest and principal proceeds would be required to repay existing advances, subject to certain provisions for REIT income distribution requirements. In either case, individual advances mature upon the maturity date of the respective collateral maturity dates.

(Unaudited)

The weighted-average pricing rate of the $351.2 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2014 was LIBOR plus 1.95% and the weighted-average maximum advance rate was 75.6%. We guarantee 25% of the advances under this facility. Otherwise, obligations under this master repurchase agreement are not recourse to us.

Our $250.0 million master repurchase agreement with JP Morgan specifies an availability period ending on June 28, 2015, during which new advances can be made and which availability period is renewable at the discretion of JP Morgan. In the event that the availability period is not renewed, it is followed by a two-year ‘stabilization’ period and then a ‘term out’ period, during which all collateral interest and principal proceeds would be required to repay existing advances, subject to certain provisions for REIT income distribution requirements.

Asset-specific Repurchase Agreements

Our $88.3 million asset-specific repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo accrues interest at a per annum pricing rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50%. The initial maturity date of the facility is June 7, 2016, which may be extended pursuant to (i) two one-year extension options, each of which may be exercised by us, and (ii) an additional one-year extension option, contingent upon notice regarding the failure of the collateral mortgage loan to be repaid at its final maturity. We do not guarantee the obligations under this repurchase agreement other than in the case of customary “bad-boy” events.

Our $59.8 million asset-specific repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo accrues interest at a per annum pricing rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%. The initial maturity date of the facility is August 8, 2015, which may be extended pursuant to three one-year extension options, each of which may be exercised by us. We do not guarantee the obligations under this repurchase agreement other than in the case of customary “bad-boy” events.

Our $32.0 million asset-specific repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo was repaid in full on May 23, 2014 in conjunction with the repayment of its collateral asset. Advances under the repurchase agreement accrued interest at a per annum pricing rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 4.00%.

Our $194.4 million asset-specific repurchase agreement with Goldman Sachs accrues interest at a per annum pricing rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75%. The initial maturity date of the facility is April 25, 2017. We guarantee 50% of the advances under this facility. Otherwise, obligations under this repurchase agreement are not recourse to us.

Debt Covenants

Each of the guarantees related to our master repurchase agreements and asset-specific repurchase agreements contain the following uniform financial covenants: (i) our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to fixed charges shall be not less than 1.40 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the agreements, shall not be less than $908.1 million plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of future equity issuances; (iii) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $10.0 million or (y) 5% of our recourse indebtedness; and (iv) our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Convertible Notes, Net

In November 2013, we issued $172.5 million of 5.25% convertible senior notes due on December 1, 2018, or Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes’ issuance costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. Including this amortization, our all-in cost of the Convertible Notes is 5.87% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, the Convertible Notes were carried on our consolidated balance sheet at $160.7 million, net of an unamortized discount of $8.2 million.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of our class A common stock, only under specific circumstances, prior to the close of business on August 31, 2018, at the applicable conversion rate in effect on the conversion date. Thereafter, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The conversion rate is initially set to equal 34.8943 shares of class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $28.66 per share of class A common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. We may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. As of June 30, 2014, we had the intent and ability to settle the Convertible Notes in cash. As a result, the Convertible Notes did not have any impact on our diluted earnings per share.

We recorded a $9.1 million discount upon issuance of the Convertible Notes based on the implied value of the conversion option and an effective interest rate of 6.50%. Including the amortization of this discount and the issuance costs, our total cost of the Convertible Notes is 7.16% per annum. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of our accounting policies for the Convertible Notes.

7. PARTICIPATIONS SOLD

Participations sold represent senior interests in certain loans that we sold. We present these participations sold as both assets and non-recourse liabilities because these arrangements do not qualify as sales under GAAP. The income earned on these loan participations is recorded as interest income and an identical amount is recorded as interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table details overall statistics for our participations sold ($ in thousands):

8. EQUITY

Total equity increased $525.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $1.3 billion. This increase was primarily driven by the issuance of additional shares of our class A common stock in January and April 2014. See below for further discussion of the share issuance.

Share and Share Equivalents

Authorized Capital

We have the authority to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to applicable NYSE listing requirements, our board of directors is authorized to cause us to issue additional shares of authorized stock without stockholder approval. In addition, to the extent not issued, currently authorized stock may be reclassified between class A common stock and preferred stock.

Class A Common Stock and Deferred Stock Units

Holders of shares of our class A common stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and are entitled to receive such dividends as may be authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, in all cases subject to the rights of the holders of shares of outstanding preferred stock, if any. On January 14, 2014, we issued 9,775,000 shares of class A common stock in a public offering at a price to the underwriters of $26.25 per share. We generated net proceeds from the issuance of $256.1 million after underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On April 7, 2014, we issued 9,200,000 shares of class A common stock in a public offering at a price to the underwriters of $27.72 per share. We generated net proceeds from the issuance of $254.8 million after underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

In addition to our class A common stock, we also issue deferred stock units to certain members of our board of directors in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered. These deferred stock units are non-voting, but carry the right to receive dividends in the form of additional deferred stock units in an amount equivalent to the cash dividends paid to holders of shares of class A common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 2,851 shares of class A common stock to Joshua A. Polan in exchange for his deferred stock units upon his decision not to stand for reelection to our board of directors.

The following table details the movement in our outstanding shares of class A common stock, restricted class A common stock, and deferred stock units:

At the Market Stock Offering Program

On May 9, 2014, we entered into equity distribution agreements, or ATM Agreements, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $200.0 million of our class A common stock. Sales of class A common stock made pursuant to the ATM Agreements, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our class A common stock, capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs. As of June 30, 2014, we had not sold any shares of class A common stock under the ATM Agreements.

Preferred Stock

We do not have any shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

Dividends

We generally intend to distribute each year substantially all of our taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to our stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code.

Our dividend policy remains subject to revision at the discretion of our board of directors. All distributions will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our taxable income, our financial condition, our maintenance of REIT status, applicable law, and other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

On June 13, 2014, we declared a dividend of $0.48 per share, or $23.3 million, which was paid on July 15, 2014 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2014. On March 14, 2014, we declared a dividend of $0.48 per share, or $18.9 million, which was paid on April 15, 2014 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2014. No dividends were declared during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan

On March 25, 2014, we adopted a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan, under which we registered and reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, 10,000,000 shares of class A common stock. Under the dividend reinvestment component of this plan, our class A common stockholders can designate all or a portion of their cash dividends to be reinvested in additional shares of class A common stock. The direct stock purchase component allows stockholders and new investors, subject to our approval, to purchase shares of class A common stock directly from us. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued one share of class A common stock under the dividend reinvestment component and zero shares under the direct stock purchase plan component. As of June 30, 2014, 9,999,999 shares of class A common stock, in the aggregate remain available for issuance under the dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate our basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented as the unvested shares of our restricted class A common stock qualify as participating securities, as defined by GAAP. These restricted shares have the same rights as our other shares of class A common stock, including participating in any gains and losses, and therefore have been included in our basic and diluted net income per share calculation.

We did not have any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as of, or for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Non-controlling Interests

The non-controlling interests included on our consolidated balance sheets represent the equity interests in CT Legacy Partners that are not owned by us. A portion of CT Legacy Partners’ consolidated equity and results of operations are allocated to these non-controlling interests based on their pro rata ownership of CT Legacy Partners.
