CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “predict,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” the negative version of these words, other comparable words or other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or factual matters. By their nature, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are not statements of historical fact or guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will occur or be achieved, and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others, the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q, in our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 29, 2020, in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020, and in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020, as such risk factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

the general political, economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which we invest;

•

the level and volatility of prevailing interest rates and credit spreads;

•

adverse changes in the real estate and real estate capital markets;

•

general volatility of the securities markets in which we participate;

•

changes in our business, investment strategies or target assets;

•

difficulty in obtaining financing or raising capital;

•

adverse legislative or regulatory developments, including with respect to tax laws;

•

acts of God such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters, acts of war and/or terrorism and other events that may cause unanticipated and uninsured performance declines and/or losses to us or the owners and operators of the real estate securing our investments;

•

the ultimate geographic spread, severity and duration of pandemics such as the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain or address the impact of such pandemics, and the potential negative impacts of such pandemics on the global economy and our financial condition and results of operations;

•

changes in the availability of attractive loan and other investment opportunities, whether they are due to competition, regulation or otherwise;

•

deterioration in the performance of properties securing our investments that may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments, adversely impact certain of our financing arrangements and our liquidity, and potentially expose us to principal losses on our investments;

•

defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness;

•

the adequacy of collateral securing our investments and declines in the fair value of our investments;

•

adverse developments in the availability of desirable investment opportunities;

•

difficulty in successfully managing our growth, including integrating new assets into our existing systems;

•

the cost of operating our platform, including, but not limited to, the cost of operating a real estate investment platform and the cost of operating as a publicly traded company;

•

the availability of qualified personnel and our relationship with our Manager (as defined below);

•

the potential unavailability of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) after December 31, 2021;

•

conflicts with TPG (as defined below) and its affiliates, including our Manager, the personnel of TPG providing services to us, including our officers, and certain funds managed by TPG;

•

our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our ability to maintain our exemption or exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”); and

•

authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (or “GAAP”) or policy changes from such standard-setting bodies such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service, the New York Stock Exchange and other authorities that we are subject to, as well as their counterparts in any foreign jurisdictions where we might do business.

There may be other risks, uncertainties or factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including risks, uncertainties, and factors disclosed under the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We caution you that the risks, uncertainties and other factors referenced above may not contain all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results, benefits or developments that we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our business in the way expected. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q apply only as of the date made and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Business and Organization

TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated on October 24, 2014 and commenced operations on December 18, 2014 (“Inception”). We are organized as a holding company and conduct our operations primarily through TPG RE Finance Trust Holdco, LLC (“Holdco”), a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by the Company, and Holdco’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. We conduct our operations as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our REIT taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Company’s principal business activity is to directly originate and acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate related assets, consisting primarily of first mortgage loans and senior participation interests in first mortgage loans secured by institutional-quality properties in primary and select secondary markets in the United States. The Company has in the past invested in commercial real estate debt securities (“CRE debt securities”), primarily investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation securities (“CRE CLOs”).

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, consolidated variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties

The coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) resulted in broad challenges globally, has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets and continues to adversely impact global commercial activity. The impact of the outbreak has evolved rapidly around the globe, with many countries taking drastic measures to limit the spread of the virus by instituting quarantines or lockdowns and imposing travel restrictions. Such actions have created significant disruptions to global supply chains, and adversely impacted several industries, including but not limited to, airlines, hospitality, retail and the broader real estate industry.

The major disruptions caused by COVID-19 halted economic activity in most of the United States resulting in a significant increase in unemployment claims and material fiscal stimulus expenditures by the federal government. COVID-19 has also resulted in a significant decline in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.

COVID-19 has had a continued and prolonged adverse impact on economic and market conditions and triggered a period of global economic slowdown which has and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results and financial condition. Many jurisdictions are now open with social distancing measures implemented to curtail the spread of COVID-19, but the Company cannot predict the length of time that it will take for a meaningful economic recovery to take place. The Company also cannot predict whether these openings or lower temperatures in the fall and winter will lead to additional surges in new cases of COVID-19, or the severity of such surges if/when they occur, such that governmental authorities decide to reimpose quarantines, lockdowns or travel restrictions, which could further materially and adversely affect the Company’s results and financial condition.

The full impact of COVID-19 on the real estate industry, the credit markets and consequently on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted currently since it depends on several factors beyond the control of the Company including, but not limited to (i) the uncertainty surrounding the severity and duration of the outbreak, including possible recurrences and differing economic and social impacts of the outbreak in various regions of the United States, (ii) the effectiveness of the United States public health response, (iii) the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, (iv) the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the pandemic, (v) the timing and speed of economic recovery, including the availability of a treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, changes in how certain types of commercial property are used while maintaining social distancing and other techniques intended to control the impact of COVID-19, and (vi) the negative impact on the Company’s borrowers, real estate values and cost of capital.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Company’s current period consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported net income. These reclassifications include the separate presentation of stock compensation on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, and the disaggregation of proceeds and payments from secured credit agreements secured by loans and secured credit agreements secured by CRE debt securities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates, and such differences could be material. Significant estimates made in the interim consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the adequacy of provisions for credit losses and the valuation inputs related thereto and the valuation of financial instruments. Actual amounts and values as of the balance sheet dates may be materially different than the amounts and values reported due to the inherent uncertainty in the estimation process and the limited availability of observable pricing inputs due to market dislocation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, future amounts and values could differ materially from those estimates due to changes in values and circumstances after the balance sheet date and the limited availability of observable prices.

Principles of Consolidation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810—Consolidation (“ASC 810”) provides guidance on the identification of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), which is defined as an entity for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE. An entity is considered a VIE if any of the following applies: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

At each reporting date, the Company reconsiders its primary beneficiary conclusion to determine if its obligation to absorb losses of, or its rights to receive benefits from, the VIE could potentially be more than insignificant, and will consolidate or not consolidate accordingly (see Note 5 for details).

Revenue Recognition

Interest income on loans is accrued using the interest method based on the contractual terms of the loan, adjusted for expected or realized credit losses, if any. The objective of the interest method is to arrive at periodic interest income including recognition of fees and costs at a constant effective yield. Premiums, discounts, and origination fees are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the loans using the interest method, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the interest method. Extension and modification fees are accreted into income on a straight-line basis, when it approximates the interest method, over the related extension or modification period. Exit fees are accreted into income on a straight-line basis, when it approximates the interest method, over the lives of the loans to which they relate unless they can be waived by the Company or a co-lender in connection with a loan refinancing. Prepayment penalties from borrowers are recognized as interest income when received. Certain of the Company’s loan investments have in the past, and may in the future, provide for additional interest based on the borrower’s operating cash flow or appreciation of the underlying collateral. Such amounts are considered contingent interest and are reflected as interest income only upon certainty of collection. Certain of the Company’s loan investments have in the past, and may in the future, provide for the accrual of interest (in part, or in whole) instead of its current payment in cash, with the accrued interest (“PIK interest”) added to the unpaid principal balance of the loan. Such PIK interest is recognized currently as interest income unless the Company concludes eventual collection is unlikely, in which case a collection reserve is recorded or the PIK interest is written off.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or repayment, are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any cumulative charge-offs, interest applied to principal (for loans accounted for using the cost recovery method), unamortized premiums, discounts, unamortized net loan origination fees and costs. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the interest method, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the interest method, adjusted for actual prepayments. Accrued but not yet collected interest is separately reported as accrued interest and fees receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

When loans are designated as held for investment, the Company’s intent is to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity or repayment. If subsequent changes in real estate or capital markets occur, the Company may change its intent or its assessment of its ability to hold these loans. Once a determination has been made to sell such loans, they are immediately transferred to loans held for sale and carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the full and timely collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due for principal and interest, or the Company concludes that a full recovery of all interest and principal is doubtful. The Company considers an account past due when an obligor fails to pay substantially all (defined as 90%) of the scheduled payment by the due date. In each case, the period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual status is subtracted from interest income at the time the loan is placed on non-accrual. Payments received on non-accrual loans are accounted for using either the cash method, or the cost recovery method which applies any cash collected to first reduce the principal balance. A loan may be returned to accrual status if all delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, and collectability of the remaining principal and interest payments in accordance with the loan agreement is reasonably assured. Loans that in the judgment of the Company’s external manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Manager”), are adequately secured and in the process of collection are maintained on accrual status, even if they are 90 days or more past due.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when, for economic or legal reasons, the Company grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that it would not otherwise consider. The Company does not consider as a concession a restructuring that includes an insignificant delay in payment. A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal balance of the loan or collateral value, and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period, is insignificant relative to the frequency of payments, the debt’s original contractual maturity or original expected duration.

TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status. TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification usually remain on non-accrual status until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, which is generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, generally six months. TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR regardless of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off. However, if the TDR loan has been modified in a subsequent restructure with market terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan may be de-designated as a TDR.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment

The allowance for credit losses is measured under the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) accounting framework, represents an estimate of current expected losses for the Company’s existing portfolio of loans held for investment, and is presented as a valuation reserve on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Expected credit losses inherent in non-cancelable unfunded loan commitments are accounted for as separate liabilities included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries and additions related to purchased credit-deteriorated (“PCD”) assets, if relevant. The allowance for credit losses includes a modeled component and an individually-assessed component. The Company has elected to not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivables related to all of its loans held for investment because it writes off uncollectable accrued interest receivable in a timely manner pursuant to its non-accrual policy, described above.

The Company considers key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including but not limited to: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the borrowers and sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio; loan amount and lien position; debt service and coverage ratio; the Company’s risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the borrower and sponsor. This information is used to assess the financial and operating capability, experience and profitability of the sponsor/borrower. Ultimate repayment of the Company’s loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, LTV ratio, existence of a liquid investment sales market for commercial properties, and availability of replacement short-term or long-term financing. The loans in the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio are secured by collateral in the following property types: office; multifamily; hotel; mixed-use; condominium; retail; and land.

Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is LTV and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, property type, dynamics of the geography, property type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s). Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:

Outperform—Exceeds performance metrics (for example, technical milestones, occupancy, rents, net operating income) included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan;

Meets or Exceeds Expectations—Collateral performance meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;

Satisfactory—Collateral performance meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan is met or can reasonably be achieved;

Underperformance—Collateral performance falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and

Default/Possibility of Loss—Collateral performance is significantly worse than underwriting; major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; significant risk of principal loss.

The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all loan investments originated during the most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception.

The Company’s loans are typically collateralized by real estate, or in the case of mezzanine loans, by a partnership interest or similar equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates on a loan-by-loan basis the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, and the financial and operating capability of the borrower and its sponsor. The Company also evaluates the financial strength of loan guarantors, if any, and the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the property or properties. In addition, the Company considers the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management, who utilize various data sources, including, to the extent available (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates; (ii) site inspections; (iii) sales and financing comparables; (iv) current credit spreads for refinancing; and (v) other market data.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the dislocation it has caused to the national economy, the commercial real estate markets, and the capital markets, the Company’s ability to estimate key inputs for estimating the allowance for credit losses has been materially and adversely impacted. Key inputs to the estimate include, but are not limited to, LTV, debt service coverage ratio, future operating cash flow and performance of collateral properties, the financial strength and liquidity of borrowers and sponsors, capitalization rates and discount rates used to value commercial real estate properties, and observable transactions involving the sale or financing of commercial properties. Estimates made by management are necessarily subject to change due to the lack or sharply limited number of observable inputs and uncertainty regarding the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftereffects.

The Company’s CECL reserve reflects its estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the commercial real estate assets securing the Company’s loans. These estimations include unemployment rates, interest rates, price indices for commercial property, and other macroeconomic factors that may influence the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for the Company’s loans during their anticipated term. The Company licenses certain macroeconomic financial forecasts to inform its view of the potential future impact that broader economic conditions may have on its loan portfolio’s performance. The forecasts are embedded in the licensed model that the Company uses to estimate its CECL reserve. Selection of these economic forecasts requires significant judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to the Company as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately unknowable with certainty, and the actual economic conditions impacting the Company’s portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates the Company made for the periods presented.

Credit Loss Measurement

The amount of allowance for credit losses is influenced by the size of the Company’s loan portfolio, loan asset quality, risk rating, delinquency status, historic loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The Company employs two methods to estimate credit losses in its loan portfolio: a model-based approach utilized for substantially all of its loans; and an individually-assessed approach for loans that the Company concludes are ill-suited for use in the model-based approach, or are individually-assessed based on accounting guidance contained in the CECL framework.

Once the expected credit loss amount is determined, an allowance for credit losses equal to the calculated expected credit loss is established. If the calculated expected credit loss is determined to be permanent or not recoverable, the amount of expected credit loss will be charged-off through the allowance for credit losses. Factors considered by management in determining if the expected credit loss is permanent or not recoverable include whether management judges the loan to be uncollectible; that is, repayment is deemed to be delayed beyond reasonable time frames, or the loss becomes evident due to the borrower’s lack of assets and liquidity, or the borrower’s sponsor is unwilling or unable to support the loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment – Model-Based Approach

The model-based approach to measure the allowance for credit losses relates to loans which are not individually-assessed.

The Company licenses from Trepp, LLC historical loss information, incorporating loan performance data for over 100,000 commercial real estate loans dating back to 1998, in an analytical model to compute statistical credit loss factors (i.e., probability-of-default and loss-given-default). These statistical credit loss factors are utilized together with individual loan information to generate future expected cash flows which are used to estimate the allowance for credit losses. This methodology appropriately considers the unique characteristics of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio and individual assets within the portfolio by considering individual loan risk ratings, delinquency statuses and other credit trends and risk characteristics. Further, the Company incorporates its expectations about the impact of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts on expected future credit losses in deriving its estimate. For the period beyond which the Company is able to make reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company will revert to unadjusted historical loan loss information based on systematic methodology determined at the input level. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment – Individually-Assessed Approach

In instances where the unique attributes of a loan investment render it ill-suited for the model-based approach because it no longer shares risk characteristics with other loans, or because the Company concludes repayment of the loan is entirely collateral-dependent, the Company separately evaluates the amount of expected credit loss using widely accepted real estate valuation techniques, considering substantially the same credit factors as utilized in the model-dependent method. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral as determined by management using valuation techniques, frequently discounted cash flow. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than the operation) of the collateral.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

The Company’s first mortgage loans often contain provisions for future funding conditioned upon the borrower’s execution of its business plan with respect to the underlying collateral property securing the loan. These deferred fundings are typically for base building work, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions, and occasionally to fund forecasted operating deficits during lease-up, or for interest reserves. These deferred funding commitments may be for specific periods, often require satisfaction by the

borrower of conditions precedent, and may contain termination clauses at the option of the borrower or, more rarely, at the Company’s option. The total amount of unfunded commitments does not necessarily represent actual amounts that may be funded in cash in the future, since commitments may expire without being drawn, may be cancelled if certain conditions are not satisfied by the borrower, or borrowers may elect not to borrow some or all of the unused commitment. The Company does not recognize these unfunded loan commitments in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company applies its expected credit loss estimates to all future funding commitments that cannot be contractually terminated at the Company’s option. The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses from unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company and applies the loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss methodology described above to the results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan.

CRE Debt Securities

In the past, the Company acquired CRE debt securities for investment purposes. The Company designated CRE debt securities as available-for-sale (“AFS”) on the acquisition date. CRE debt securities that were classified as AFS were recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company recognized interest income on its CRE debt securities using the interest method, or on a straight-line basis when it approximated the effective interest method, with any premium or discount amortized or accreted into interest income based on the respective outstanding principal balance and corresponding contractual term of the CRE debt security. Accrued but not yet collected interest was separately reported as accrued interest receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company used a specific identification method when determining the cost of a CRE debt security sold and the amount of unrealized gain or loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into earnings on the trade date.

AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions were evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For the purpose of identifying and measuring impairment, any applicable accrued interest was excluded from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis. The Company had elected to write off accrued interest by reversing interest income in the event the accrued interest is deemed uncollectible, generally when the security became 90 days or more past due for principal and interest.

The Company first assessed whether it intended to sell the debt security or more likely than not was required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criterion regarding intent or requirement to sell was met, the debt security’s amortized cost basis was written down to its fair value and the write down was charged against the allowance for credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings as a loss in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Any AFS debt security in an unrealized loss position which the Company did not intend to sell or was not more likely than not required to sell before recovery of the amortized cost basis was assessed for expected credit losses. The performance indicators considered for CRE debt securities related to the underlying assets and included default rates, delinquency rates, percentage of nonperforming assets, debt-to-collateral ratios, third-party guarantees, current levels of subordination, vintage, geographic concentration, analyst reports and forecasts, credit ratings and other market data. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compared the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected was less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss existed and an allowance for credit losses was recorded, limited by the amount the fair value was less than amortized cost basis.

Declines in fair value of AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position that were not due to credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, were recorded through other comprehensive income. Any impairment that had not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses was recognized in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS debt securities presented in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income included the reversal of unrealized gains and losses at the time gains or losses were realized.

Portfolio Financing Arrangements

The Company finances certain of its loans, or participation interests therein, using secured credit agreements, including secured credit facilities (formerly called secured revolving repurchase agreements), secured revolving credit facilities (formerly called senior secured and secured credit agreements), asset-specific financing arrangements, and collateralized loan obligations. The related borrowings are recorded as separate liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the investments and interest expense incurred on the related borrowings are reported separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

In certain instances, the Company creates structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party. For all such syndications the Company has completed through September 30, 2020, the Company transferred on a non-recourse basis 100% of the senior mortgage loan that the Company originated or co-originated to a third-party lender and retained as a loan investment a separate mezzanine loan investment secured by a pledge of the equity in the mortgage borrower. With respect to the senior mortgage loan so transferred, the Company retains: no control over the mortgage loan; no economic interest in the mortgage loan; and no recourse to the purchaser or the borrower. Consequently, based on these circumstances and because the Company does not have any continuing involvement with the transferred senior mortgage loan, these syndications are accounted for as sales under GAAP and are removed from the Company’s consolidated financial statements at the time of transfer. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets only include the separate mezzanine loan remaining after the transfer.

In the past, the Company acquired CRE debt securities for investment purposes. The Company financed its CRE debt securities using secured credit agreements with daily mark-to-market features and contract maturities of typically 30 days. The related borrowings were recorded as liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest income earned on the CRE debt securities and interest expense incurred on the related borrowings were reported in interest income and interest expense, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

For more information regarding the Company’s portfolio financing arrangements, see Note 6.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), for its holdings of financial instruments. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for a financial instrument in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale CRE debt securities. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level I—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level II—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level III—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

For certain financial instruments, the various inputs that management uses to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for such financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company may use valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The market approach uses third-party valuations and information obtained from market transactions involving identical or similar assets or liabilities. The income approach uses projections of the future economic benefits of an instrument to determine its fair value, such as in the discounted cash flow methodology. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these financial instruments. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

The following methods and assumptions are used by our Manager to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

•

Cash and cash equivalents: the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

•

Loans held for investment, net: using a discounted cash flow methodology employing a discount rate for loans of comparable credit quality, structure, and LTV based upon appraisal information and current estimates of the value of collateral property performed by the Manager, and credit spreads for loans of comparable risk (as determined by the Manager based on the factors previously described) as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants.

•

CRE Debt Securities, available for sale: using indications of value from at least two dealers active in trading similar or substantially similar securities; these dealers may use reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price.

•

Secured credit facilities, secured revolving credit facilities, net, and asset-specific financing arrangements: based on the rate at which a similar secured credit facility would currently be priced, as corroborated by inquiry of other market participants.

•

CRE Collateralized Loan Obligations, net: utilizing indications of value from dealers active in trading similar or substantially similar securities, observable quotes from market data services, reported prices and spreads for recent new issues, and Manager estimates of the credit spread on which similar bonds would be issued, or traded, in the new issue and secondary markets.

•

Other assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement, including receivables, payables and accrued liabilities have carrying values that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

As discussed above, market-based or observable inputs are generally the preferred source of values for purposes of measuring the fair value of the Company’s assets under GAAP. The commercial property investment sales market, and the commercial mortgage loan and CRE debt securities markets, have and continue to experience extreme volatility, sharply reduced transaction volume, reduced liquidity, and disruption as a result of COVID-19, which has made it more difficult to rely on market-based inputs in connection with the valuation of the Company’s assets under GAAP. Key valuation inputs include, but are not limited to, future operating cash flow and performance of collateral properties, the financial strength and liquidity of borrowers and sponsors, capitalization rates and discount rates used to value commercial real estate properties, and observable transactions involving the sale or financing of commercial properties. In the absence of market inputs, GAAP permits the use of management assumptions to measure fair value. However, the considerable market volatility and disruption caused by COVID-19 and the considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact and duration of the pandemic have made it more difficult for the Company’s management to formulate assumptions to measure the fair value of the Company’s assets.

Income Taxes

The Company qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To the extent that it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and complies with various other requirements as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its distributed REIT taxable income. In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e. dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. On May 4, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure that temporarily reduces (through the end of 2020) the minimum amount of the total distribution that must be paid in cash to 10%. Pursuant to these revenue procedures, the Company may elect to make future distributions of its taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash. If the Company fails to continue to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates beginning with the year in which it fails to qualify and may be precluded from being able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the Company’s four subsequent taxable years. Even though the Company currently qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes on the Company’s income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on the Company’s undistributed REIT taxable income.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the enactment date occurs. Under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), a valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company intends to continue to operate in a manner consistent with, and to continue to meet the requirements to be treated as, a REIT for tax purposes and to distribute all of its REIT taxable income. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to pay corporate level federal taxes.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company utilizes the two-class method when assessing participating securities to calculate earnings per common share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (i.e., holders of common stock and, when it was outstanding, Class A common stock), by the weighted-average number of common shares (both common stock and, when it was outstanding, Class A common stock) outstanding during the period. The preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the Class A common stock were identical to the common stock, except (1) the Class A common stock was not a “margin security” as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (and rulings and interpretations thereunder) and could not be listed on a national securities exchange or a national market system and (2) each share of Class A common stock was convertible at any time or from time to time, at the option of the holder, for one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock.

Between January 22, 2020 and January 24, 2020, the Company received requests to convert all outstanding shares of its Class A common stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were retired and returned to the authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock of the Company, and the holders of the shares of Class A common stock were issued an aggregate of 1,136,665 shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 14, 2020, the Company filed the Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland to reclassify and designate all 2,500,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock as additional shares of undesignated common stock of the Company. The Articles Supplementary became effective upon filing on February 14, 2020. As a result, as of March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2020, there were no shares of the Company’s Class A common stock authorized or outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is computed under the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the two-class method. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”, see Note 12) issued in connection with the Company’s Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”), which are exercisable only on a net-share settlement basis. The number of incremental shares is calculated utilizing the treasury stock method. The Company accounts for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable dividend rights or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company excludes participating securities and warrants from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding in periods of net losses since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation consists of awards issued by the Company to certain employees of affiliates of the Manager and certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors. These share-based awards generally vest in installments over a fixed period. Deferred stock units granted to the Company’s Board of Directors fully vest on the grant date and accrue dividends that are paid-in kind through additional deferred stock units on a quarterly basis. Compensation expense is recognized in net income on a straight-line basis over the applicable award’s vesting period. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized as they occur.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are reflected net of the collateralized loan obligations and secured credit arrangements on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized in interest expense using the interest method, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the interest method, as follows: (a) for secured credit arrangements other than our CRE CLOs, the initial term of the financing arrangement; (b) for deferred financing costs related to asset specific borrowings under secured credit arrangements other than CRE CLOs, the initial maturities of the underlying loan(s) pledged to support the specific borrowing; and (c) for CRE CLOs issued by the Company’s subsidiaries, over the estimated life of the liabilities issued based on the initial maturity dates of the underlying loans currently held by each trust based upon the expected repayment behavior of the loans collateralizing the notes after giving effect to the reinvestment period, all as of the closing date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks or invested in money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. The Company maintains cash accounts at several financial institutions, which are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 per account as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The balances in these accounts may exceed the insured limits.

Pursuant to financial covenants applicable to Holdco, which is the guarantor of the Company’s recourse indebtedness, the Company is required to maintain minimum cash equal to the greater of (i) $10 million or (ii) the product of 5% and the aggregate recourse indebtedness of the Company. To comply with this covenant, the Company held as part of its total cash balances $21.7 million and $56.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily represents deposit proceeds from potential borrowers which may be returned to borrowers, after deducting transaction costs paid by the Company for the benefit of the borrowers, upon the closing of a loan transaction.

Accounts Receivable from Servicer/Trustee

Accounts receivable from Servicer/Trustee represents cash proceeds from loan and CRE debt securities activities that have not been remitted to the Company based on established servicing and borrowing procedures. Such amounts are generally held by the Servicer/Trustee for less than 30 days before being remitted to the Company. Also included is cash held by the Company’s CRE CLOs pending reinvestment in eligible collateral.

Temporary Equity

Equity instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified as temporary equity if the instrument is redeemable, at the option of the holder, at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Redeemable equity instruments are initially carried at the fair value of the equity instrument at the issuance date, which is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date if the instrument is currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. The Company elected the accreted redemption value method under which it accretes changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the earliest costless redemption date (the fourth anniversary) using the effective interest method, as defined in Note 12. Such adjustments are included in Accretion of Discount on Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and treated similarly to a dividend on preferred stock for GAAP purposes.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP requirements for modifications to debt agreements, leases, derivatives and other contracts, related to the expected market transition from LIBOR, and certain other floating rate benchmark indices, or collectively, IBORs, to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Once ASU 2020-04 is elected, the guidance must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss method that is referred to as the CECL method. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL method is applicable to the Company’s mortgage loan investment portfolio measured at amortized cost, unfunded loan commitments and AFS debt securities measured at fair value. Also, on January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the following ASUs issued subsequent to ASU 2016-13 which amended Topic 326:

•

ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 – Credit Losses

•

ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 – Credit Losses, Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 – Financial Instruments

•

ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief

•

ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates

•

ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and other related ASUs listed above using the modified retrospective method for all mortgage loans measured at amortized cost and unfunded noncancelable loan commitments. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 and other related ASUs while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

The following table presents the January 1, 2020 cumulative impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the indicated line items of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020:

	Pre-Adoption			Cumulative Effect of Adopting ASU 2016-13			Post-Adoption
Assets:
Loans Held for Investment	$	4,980,389		$	—		$	4,980,389
Allowance for Credit Losses		—			(17,783	)		(17,783	)

The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s portfolio of AFS Debt Securities at January 1, 2020.

(3) Loans Held for Investment and the Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company originates and acquires first mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by commercial properties. The Company considers these loans to belong to a single portfolio segment, Mortgage Loans, because this is the level at which the Company has developed its systematic methodology to determine the Allowance for Credit Losses. For purposes of certain disclosures herein, the Company disaggregates this portfolio segment into the following classes of finance receivables: Senior loans; and Subordinated and Mezzanine loans. These loans can potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk as measured by various metrics, including, without limitation, property type collateralizing the loan, loan size, loans to a single sponsor and loans in a single geographic area. The Company’s loans held for investment are accounted for at amortized cost. Interest accrued but not yet collected is separately reported as accrued interest and fees receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts within that caption relating to Loans Held for Investment were $16.7 million as of September 30, 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company originated one mortgage loan, with an initial unpaid principal balance of $78.4 million, which involved the assumption and simultaneous assignment of an existing first mortgage loan by the third-party purchaser of the property securing the loan. This amendment is not considered a TDR under GAAP. The transaction was treated as a new loan origination and extinguishment of the then-existing loan under GAAP.

The following table details overall statistics for the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

	Balance Sheet Portfolio			Total Loan Portfolio
Number of loans		63			64
Floating rate loans (by unpaid principal balance)		100.0	%		100.0	%

(1)

In certain instances, the Company creates structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third-party. In either case, the senior mortgage loan (i.e., the non-consolidated senior interest) is not included on the Company’s balance sheet. When the Company creates structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third-party, the Company retains on its balance sheet a mezzanine loan. Total loan commitment encompasses the entire loan portfolio the Company originated, acquired and financed. At September 30, 2020, the Company had one non-consolidated senior interest outstanding of $132.0 million.

(2)	Unpaid principal balance includes PIK interest of $3.9 million as of September 30, 2020.

(3)

Unfunded loan commitments may be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date or a force-funding date, primarily to finance property improvements or lease-related expenditures by the Company’s borrowers, to finance operating deficits during renovation and lease-up, and in limited instances to finance construction.

(4)

As of September 30, 2020, all of the Company’s loans were floating rate and were indexed to LIBOR. In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount if any, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. Credit spread and all-in yield for the total portfolio assumes the applicable floating benchmark rate as of September 30, 2020 for weighted average calculations.

(5)

Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that the Company’s loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2020, based on the unpaid principal balance of the Company’s total loan exposure, 43.6% of the Company’s loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 56.4% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(6)

Except for construction loans, LTV is calculated for loan originations and existing loans as the total outstanding principal balance of the loan or participation interest in a loan (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan or participation interest) as of September 30, 2020, divided by the as-is appraised value of the Company’s collateral at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest. For construction loans only, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value of the real estate securing the loan. The as-is or as-stabilized (as applicable) value reflects the Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of the loan or participation interest in a loan, of the real estate value underlying such loan or participation interest determined in accordance with the Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by the Manager.

The following tables present an overview of the mortgage loan investment portfolio by loan seniority as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

(1)

Includes an assumption and simultaneous assignment of an existing first mortgage loan with an initial unpaid principal balance of $78.4 million by the third-party purchaser of the property securing the loan during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The transaction was treated as a new loan origination and extinguishment of the then-existing loan under GAAP.

(2)	Includes the sale, at no gain or loss, of a $46.4 million mezzanine loan (with a commitment amount of $50.0 million) related to a contiguous first mortgage loan secured by the same property with an unpaid principal balance of $280.4 million and a commitment amount of $300.8 million.

(3)	Includes the sale of one loan with an unpaid principal balance of $99.3 million sold for $85.5 million resulting in a realized loss of $13.8 million.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no unamortized loan purchase discounts or premiums included in loans held for investment at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $10.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively, of unamortized loan fees and discounts included in loans held for investment, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not recognize any accelerated fee component of prepayment fees (yield maintenance payments) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million of such payments, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Loan Risk Rating

As discussed in Note 2, the Company evaluates all of its loans to assign risk ratings on a quarterly basis. Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are described in Note 2. The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all loan investments originated during the most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception.

The following table presents amortized cost basis by origination year, grouped by risk rating, as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Weighted Average Risk Rating calculated based on amortized cost balance at period end.

The weighted average risk rating calculated as of September 30, 2020 was 3.1, an increase from the 2.9 weighted average risk rating at December 31, 2019.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reclassified:

•

one loan from its Category “3” risk rating to its Category “2” risk rating because the collateral property has achieved 100% leased occupancy at rents in excess of underwriting;

•

one loan from its Category “4” risk rating to its Category “3” risk rating because the underlying collateral property was purchased by a new owner that infused new equity capital, assumed the existing first mortgage loan, repaid $3.0 million of unpaid principal balance, and agreed to make a further principal repayment of $1.0 million in December 2020;

•

one loan from its Category “5” risk rating to its Category “4” risk rating due to a loan modification and amendment executed during the quarter that required the borrower to immediately pay all past-due interest and infuse new equity capital; and

•

one loan from its Category “4” risk rating to its Category “5” risk rating due to the borrower’s financial distress and a potential maturity default that subsequently occurred on October 9, 2020. Refer to Note 16 for additional details.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s reserve developed pursuant to ASC 326 reflects its current estimate of potential credit losses related to its loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020. As part of its allowance for credit losses, the Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments, and this amount is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For further information on the policies that govern the estimation of the allowances for credit loss levels, see Note 2.

The following tables present activity in the allowance for credit losses for the mortgage loan investment portfolio by class of finance receivable for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Total allowance for credit losses	$	57,453		$	1,876		$	59,329

Upon the adoption of ASC 326, the allowance for credit losses increased by $19.6 million due to the application of the CECL methodology in the first quarter of 2020 (as described in Note 2) over performing loans on which the Company had previously not carried an allowance for credit losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an increase of $0.7 million in the allowance for credit losses, bringing the total CECL reserve to $59.3 million as of September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses was impacted by macroeconomic conditions in

response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses increased due to sharply recessionary macroeconomic assumptions employed in determining the Company’s model-based CECL reserve, offset by a decline in total loan commitments and unpaid principal balance due to loan repayments and sales. Additionally, the average risk ratings of the Company’s loans increased from 2.9 as of December 31, 2019 to 3.1 as of September 30, 2020, due primarily to downgrades of nine loans during the first quarter of 2020, one loan during the second quarter of 2020 (which was restored to its first quarter risk rating in the third quarter), and one loan in the third quarter of 2020. The impact of reduced economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused reduced activity in capital markets, which may slow the pace of loan repayments, and will likely impact commercial property values and valuation inputs. While the ultimate impact is uncertain, the Company has made certain forward-looking adjustments to the inputs of its calculation of the allowance for credit losses to reflect its changing expectations.

There were no loans on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2020. No loan was placed on non-accrual status during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or the three months ended March 31, 2020, and there were no loans on non-accrual status at December 31, 2019. With the passage of time and continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain borrowers may fail to pay interest which may result in additional loans being placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2020 and later periods.

On September 30, 2020, the Company determined that one first mortgage loan secured by two undeveloped commercial land parcels met the CECL framework’s criteria for individual assessment. At September 30, 2020, the loan was current with respect to interest and other reserves. The amortized cost of the loan was $112.0 million and $111.4 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. On October 9, 2020, the borrower failed to make a partial principal repayment of $20.0 million and replenish the interest reserve in order to exercise an option to extend the maturity date of the loan for one year, which caused a maturity default. As a result, subsequent to September 30, 2020, the loan was placed on non-accrual status. Accordingly, the Company utilized the estimated fair value of the collateral on September 30, 2020 to estimate a loan loss reserve of $12.8 million as of that date, which is included in the CECL reserve. The Company’s estimate of the collateral’s fair market value was determined using a discounted cash flow model and Level 3 inputs, which include estimates of parcel-specific cash flows over specific holding periods for each parcel, discount rates ranging between 8.0% - 17.5% based on the risk profiles of estimated cash flows associated with each respective parcel, and estimated terminal value. These inputs are based on the location, type and nature of each parcel, current and anticipated market conditions based on recent comparable sales and interviews with market participants, and management’s knowledge, experience and judgment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company executed eight loan modifications with borrowers. As of September 30, 2020, these loans had an aggregate commitment amount of $365.9 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $351.3 million. None of these loan modifications trigger the requirements for accounting as TDRs. Four of the modifications meet the safe-harbor conditions of the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” issued by banking regulators in consultation with FASB. The agencies encourage financial institutions and other lenders to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. The agencies view loan modification programs to borrowers who were current prior to the outbreak as positive actions that can mitigate adverse effects due to COVID-19. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. The Company’s loan modifications typically temporarily reduce the amount of cash interest collected, permit the accrual of a portion of the interest due during the modification period to be repaid at a later date by the borrower, and/or permit the use of existing cash loan reserves to pay interest expense and other property-level expenses. All of the modified loans are performing, and none are on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company executed 14 such loan modifications. Three of these modifications expired (two due to repayment of the loans in full) in the third quarter of 2020, seven will expire in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the remaining four will expire after December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of modified loans outstanding was $775.3 million. Total PIK Interest of $3.3 million and $3.9 million was deferred and added to the outstanding loan principal during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

The following table presents the aging analysis on an amortized cost basis of mortgage loans by class of loans as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

(4) Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not own any CRE debt securities. The Company did not acquire any CRE debt securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, all but one CRE debt security in the Company’s debt securities portfolio was pledged as collateral under daily mark-to-market secured revolving repurchase facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold all of its CRE CLO investments with an aggregate face value of $782.0 million generating gross sales proceeds of $614.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $203.4 million recognized as expense in Securities Impairments on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, offset by a small realized gain.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 38 CRE debt securities designated as AFS debt securities. The Company designated its CRE debt securities as AFS upon acquisition. The following tables summarize the amortized cost, fair value, and unrealized gain of the Company’s CRE debt securities at December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

(5) Variable Interest Entities and Collateralized Loan Obligations

Subsidiaries of the Company have issued two collateralized loan obligations to finance approximately $2.2 billion or 44.7% of its loan investment portfolio, measured by unpaid principal balance. On October 25, 2019 (the “FL3 Closing Date”), TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Sub-REIT, a subsidiary of the Company (“Sub-REIT”), entered into a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2019-FL3” or “FL3”). TRTX 2019-FL3 provides for reinvestment, during the 24 months after closing of FL3, whereby eligible new loans or participation interests (the “FL3 Additional Interests”) in loans may be contributed to TRTX 2019-FL3 in exchange for cash, which provides liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not utilize the reinvestment feature. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company utilized the reinvestment feature six times, contributing $163.1 million of new loans or participating interests in loans, and receiving $49.3 million of net cash proceeds, after the repayment of $113.8 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest.

As of September 30, 2020, FL3 Mortgage Assets represented 24.9% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loan investment portfolio and had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1.2 billion.

At September 30, 2020, TRTX 2019-FL3 had $0.2 million of cash available to acquire eligible assets.

In connection with TRTX 2019-FL3, the Company incurred $7.8 million of issuance costs which are amortized on an effective yield basis over the expected life of the investment-grade notes issued based upon the expected repayment behavior of the loans collateralizing the notes after giving effect to the reinvestment period, both as of the FL3 Closing Date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s unamortized issuance costs related to TRTX 2019-FL3 were $5.7 million.

Interest expense on the outstanding FL3 Notes is payable monthly. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest expense on the outstanding FL3 Notes (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) of $4.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively, is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

On November 29, 2018 (the “FL2 Closing Date”), Sub-REIT entered into a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2018-FL2” or “FL2”). TRTX 2018-FL2 provides for reinvestment, during the 24 months after closing of FL2, whereby eligible new loans or participation interests in loans may be contributed to TRTX 2018-FL2 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company utilized the reinvestment feature four times, contributing $159.5 million of new loans or participation interests in loans, and receiving net cash proceeds of $57.1 million, after the repayment of $102.4 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company utilized the reinvestment feature nine times, contributing $292.5 million of new loans or participation interests in loans, and receiving net cash proceeds of $122.8 million, after the repayment of $169.7 million of existing borrowings, including accrued interest.

As of September 30, 2020, FL2 Mortgage Assets represented 19.8% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loan investment portfolio and had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $978.1 million.

At September 30, 2020, TRTX 2018-FL2 had approximately $23.1 million in cash available to acquire eligible assets.

In connection with TRTX 2018-FL2, the Company incurred $8.7 million of issuance costs which are amortized on an effective yield basis over the expected life of the investment-grade notes (the “FL2 Notes”) issued based upon the expected repayment behavior of the loans collateralizing the notes and the reinvestment period, both as of the FL2 Closing Date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s unamortized issuance costs were $4.4 million.

Interest expense on the outstanding FL2 Notes is payable monthly. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest expense on the outstanding FL2 Notes (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) of $3.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Company evaluated the key attributes of the issuers of the FL3 Notes (the “FL3 Issuers”) and the issuers of the FL2 Notes (the “FL2 Issuers”) to determine if they were VIEs and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of their operating activities. This analysis caused the Company to conclude that the FL3 Issuers and the FL2 Issuers were VIEs and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the most significant activities of the FL3 Issuers and the FL2 Issuers, the obligation to absorb losses to the extent of its equity investments, and the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to these entities. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the FL3 Issuers and the FL2 Issuers.

The Company’s total assets and total liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 included the following VIE assets and liabilities of TRTX 2019-FL3 and TRTX 2018-FL2 (dollars in thousands):

Loan term represents weighted-average final maturity, assuming extension options are exercised by the borrower. Repayments of CLO notes are dependent on timing of related collateral loan asset repayments post-reinvestment period. The term of the CLO notes represents the rated final distribution date.

(6) Secured Credit Agreements

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had secured credit facilities, a secured revolving credit agreement and an asset-specific financing, all of which were used to finance certain of the Company’s loan investments. These financing arrangements bear interest at rates equal to LIBOR plus a credit spread negotiated between the Company and each lender, often a separate credit spread for each pledge of collateral, which is primarily based on property type and advance rate against the unpaid principal balance of the pledged loan. Except for the asset-specific financing, these borrowing arrangements contain defined mark-to-market provisions that permit our lenders to issue margin calls to the Company in the event that the collateral properties underlying the Company’s loans pledged to the Company’s lenders experience a non-temporary decline in value (“credit marks”) due to reasons other than capital markets events that result in changing credit spreads for similar borrowing obligations. In connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender is also permitted to issue margin calls to the Company in the event the lender determines capital markets events have caused credit spreads to change for similar borrowing obligations (“spread marks”).

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had none and four, respectively, secured credit agreements which were used to finance its CRE CLO debt investments. These financing arrangements bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a credit spread negotiated between the Company and its lenders, which was determined primarily by the haircut amount (which is equal to one minus the advance rate percentage against collateral for our secured credit agreements taken as a whole) and the rating of the bonds so financed. These borrowing arrangements contained daily mark-to-market provisions that permitted the lenders to issue margin calls to the Company in response to changing interest rates and credit spreads on the CRE debt securities so financed. Additionally, these borrowing arrangements typically had maturities of 30 days subject to renewal at the lenders’ option.

The following table presents certain information regarding the Company’s secured credit agreements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Except as otherwise noted, all agreements are on a full or partial recourse basis (dollars in thousands):

Secured Credit Facilities

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had seven secured credit facilities to finance its loan investing activities. Credit spreads vary depending upon the collateral type, advance rate and other factors. Assets pledged at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of 55 and 61 mortgage loans, or participation interests therein, respectively. Under these secured credit agreements, the Company transfers all of its rights, title and interest in the loans to the repurchase counterparty in exchange for cash, and simultaneously agrees to reacquire the asset at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus an interest factor. The repurchase counterparty (lender) collects all principal and interest on related loans and remits to the Company the net amount after the lender collects its interest and other fees. For the seventh credit facility, which is a mortgage warehouse facility, the lender receives a security interest (pledge) in the loans financed under the arrangement. The secured credit facilities used to finance loan investments are 25% recourse to Holdco.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had no secured credit facilities to finance its CRE debt securities as each agreement was terminated during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company had four secured credit facilities to finance its CRE debt securities. The facility commitment amounts were based on the carrying value of the assets pledged. Credit spreads varied depending upon the collateral type and advance rate. At December 31, 2019, CRE debt securities pledged consisted of 35 CRE CLO investments and two CMBS investments. The secured credit facilities used to finance CRE debt securities were 100% recourse to Holdco and were considered short-term borrowings.

Under each of the Company’s secured credit facilities, including the mortgage warehouse facility, the Company is required to post margin for changes in conditions to specific loans that serve as collateral for those secured credit facilities. The lender’s margin amount is in all but one instance limited to collateral-specific credit marks based on other-than-temporary declines in the value of the properties securing the underlying loan collateral. Market value determinations and redeterminations may be made by the repurchase lender in its sole discretion subject to certain specified parameters. In the case of assets that serve as collateral under the Company’s secured credit facilities secured by loans, these considerations include credit-based factors (which are generally based on factors other than those related to the capital markets). In only one instance do the considerations include changes in observable credit spreads in the market for these assets. These factors are described in the immediately preceding table.

Prior to the sale of the Company’s portfolio of available-for-sale CRE debt securities in the second quarter of 2020, the market value of the assets that served as collateral under the Company’s secured credit facilities secured by CRE debt securities was redetermined by the repurchase lender on a daily basis. As a result, extreme short-term volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets resulted in the Company being required to post cash collateral with the Company’s lenders under these agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received margin call notices with respect to borrowings against its CRE CLO investment portfolio aggregating $170.9 million, which were satisfied with a combination of $89.8 million of cash, cash proceeds from bond sales, and increases in market values prior to quarter-end. At September 30, 2020, the Company did not own any CRE debt securities and therefore had no associated borrowings and no unsatisfied margin calls.

Secured Revolving Credit Agreement

Previously the Company had a secured revolving credit facility (the “Citi Agreement”), with Citibank, N.A. with aggregate secured borrowing capacity of up to $160.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability and certain other conditions, which the Company occasionally used to finance originations or acquisitions of eligible loans on an interim basis until permanent financing was arranged. The Citi Agreement had an initial maturity date of July 12, 2020, and borrowings bore interest at an interest rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR or the applicable base rate plus a margin of 2.25%. The initial advance rate on borrowings under the Citi Agreement with respect to individual pledged assets was 70% and declined over the borrowing term of up to 90 days, after which borrowings against an asset must be repaid. This agreement was 100% recourse to Holdco. On July 12, 2020, the Company allowed the Credit Agreement to expire by its terms.

Financial Covenants

The Company’s financial covenants and guarantees for outstanding borrowings related to our secured credit agreements and secured revolving credit agreements require Holdco to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants (among others), which were revised on May 28, 2020 as follows:

Financial Covenant	Current	Prior to May 28, 2020
Cash Liquidity	Minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of: $10.0 million; and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness	Minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of: $10.0 million; and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness
Tangible Net Worth	$1.1 billion as of April 1, 2020, plus 75% of future equity issuances thereafter	Minimum tangible net worth of at least 75% of the net cash proceeds of all prior equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company, plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of all subsequent equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company
Debt to Equity	Debt to Equity ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0 with "equity" and "equity adjustment" as defined below	Debt to Equity ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0
Interest Coverage	Minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.4 to 1.0 until December 2, 2020, and no less than 1.5 to 1.0 thereafter	Minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0

The amendments as of May 28, 2020 revise the definition of tangible net worth such that the baseline amount for testing is reset as of April 1, 2020 to $1.1 billion plus 75% of future equity issuances after April 1, 2020. The definition of equity for purposes of calculating the debt-to-equity covenant was revised to include: common equity; preferred equity; and an adjustment equal to the sum of the Current Expected Credit Loss reserve, write-downs, impairments or realized losses recorded against the value of any assets of Holdco or its subsidiaries from and after April 1, 2020; provided, however, that the equity adjustment may not exceed the amount of (a) Holdco’s total equity less (b) the product of Holdco’s total indebtedness multiplied by 25%.

Financial Covenant relating to the Series B Preferred Stock

For long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is required to maintain a debt-to-equity ratio not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For the purpose of determining this ratio, the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is excluded from the calculation of total indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and is included in the calculation of total equity.

Covenant Compliance

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants to the extent that balances were outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Negative impacts on the Company’s business caused by COVID-19 have and may continue to make it more difficult to meet or satisfy these covenants, and there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with these covenants in the future.

Asset-Specific Financings

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had one asset-specific financing arrangement to finance one of its loan investments.

On April 2, 2019, the Company entered into an asset-specific financing with an institutional lender that is secured by one loan held for investment. The asset-specific financing does not provide for additional advances. The current initial maturity of this agreement is October 9, 2020, with an extension of 12 months subject to satisfaction of certain requirements by the borrower on the underlying mortgage loan. As of September 30, 2020, the asset-specific financing principal balance is $77.0 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.2%. The underlying first mortgage loan to which this financing relates experienced a maturity default on October 9, 2020. The institutional lender and the Company are consulting regarding the exercise of rights and remedies against the underlying borrower, guarantor and related collateral properties, and under the co-lender agreement between the institutional lender and the Company. Refer to Note 16 for additional details.

(7) Schedule of Maturities

The future principal payments for the five years subsequent to September 30, 2020 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

	Collateralized loan obligations⁽¹⁾		Secured credit facilities⁽²⁾		Asset-specific financing
2020	$	—	$	—	$	77,000

Thereafter		141,597		—		—
Total	$	1,834,761	$	1,733,112	$	77,000

(1)

The scheduled maturities for the investment grade bonds issued by TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX-2019 FL3 are based upon the fully extended maturity of mortgage loan collateral, considering the reinvestment window of the collateralized loan obligation.

(2)

The allocation of secured financing liabilities is based on the extended maturity date for those credit facilities where extension options are at the company’s option, subject to no default, or the current maturity date of those facilities where extension options are subject to counterparty approval.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes Level I fair value measurements related to cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accrued liabilities. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $217.8 million invested in money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days. The consolidated balance sheet also includes Loans Held for Investment, the assets and liabilities of TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX 2019-FL3 (as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019), and secured debt agreements that are considered Level III fair value measurements that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments utilizing the fair value of the underlying collateral when there is evidence of impairment and when the loan is dependent solely on the collateral for payment of principal and interest. The Company had no non-recurring fair value items as of December 31, 2019.

The following tables provide information about the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Secured Debt Agreements		2,525,128		—		—		2,525,128

At September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of Loans Held for Investment was $4.9 billion, or $71.2 million less than carrying value, due to an increase since February 2020 in credit spreads on transitional first mortgage loans due primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic. Observed credit spreads widened between February and June, and have since narrowed for loans with attractive credit attributes based on sponsor quality, property type, in-place cash flow, advance rate, and complexity of business plan. At December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of Loans Held for Investment was $5.0 billion, which approximated carrying value, because contractual loan credit spreads reflected then-current market terms. The weighted average gross credit spread at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 3.27% and 3.48%, respectively. The weighted average years to maturity at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 3.3 years and 3.8 years, respectively, assuming full extension of all loans.

At September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the secured debt agreements was $1.8 billion, or $26.7 million more than carrying value, due to an increase since February 2020 in credit spreads on similar credit arrangements due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the secured debt agreements approximated fair value as the then-current borrowing spreads reflected market terms. At September 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Collateralized Loan Obligation liabilities was $1.8 billion, or $10.1 million more than carrying value, due to an increase since February 2020 in credit spreads on these and similar bonds observed in secondary trading activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Observed credit spreads for both categories of liabilities widened between February and June, and have since narrowed, especially for higher-quality borrowers, collateral managers, and loan portfolios. At December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of TRTX 2019-FL3 and TRTX 2018-FL2 approximated fair value as then-current lending and borrowing spreads reflected market terms.

Changes in assets and liabilities with Level III fair values for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

	Loans Held for Investment			Collateralized Loan Obligations		Secured Financing Arrangements			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	5,004,379		$	1,806,428	$	2,525,128		$	9,335,935

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(9) Income Taxes

The Company indirectly owns 100% of the equity of multiple taxable REIT subsidiaries (collectively “TRSs”), including certain of its TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX 2019-FL3 subsidiaries. TRSs are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax on their taxable income. In addition, as a REIT, the Company also may be subject to a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between it and its TRSs that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction as well as various state and local jurisdictions. The filings are subject to normal reviews by tax authorities until the related statute of limitations expires. The years open to examination generally range from 2016 to present.

ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, based on the Company’s evaluation, there is no reserve for any uncertain income tax positions.

The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of U.S. federal and state income taxes, if any, as a component of general and administrative expense on its consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not have interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred no federal, state or local tax relating to its TRSs. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of federal, state and local tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of federal, state and local tax expense. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no deferred income tax assets or liabilities were recorded for the operating activities of the Company’s TRSs.

From March 23, 2020 through April 2020, the Company sold all its CRE debt securities with an aggregate face value of $781.7 million, generating gross sales proceeds of $614.8 million. The Company recorded losses from these sales of $203.4 million recognized as expense in Securities Impairments on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, which are expected to be available to offset any capital gains of the Company in 2020 and, to the extent those capital losses exceed the Company’s capital gains for 2020, such losses would be available to be carried forward to offset capital gains in future years. The Company does not expect these losses to reduce the amount that the Company will be required to distribute under the requirement that the Company distribute to the Company’s stockholders at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) each year in order to continue to qualify as a REIT.

(10) Related Party Transactions

Management Agreement

The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between the Company and the Manager (as amended, the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company pays the Manager a base management fee equal to the greater of $250,000 per annum ($62,500 per quarter) or 1.50% per annum (0.375% per quarter) of the Company’s “Equity” as defined in the Management Agreement. Proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock is included in the Company’s Equity for purposes of determining the base management fee. The base management fee is payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The Manager is also entitled to incentive compensation which is calculated and payable in cash with respect to each calendar quarter in arrears in an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between: (1) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the difference between (i) the Company’s Core Earnings for the most recent 12-month period, including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of incentive compensation is being made (the “applicable period”), and (ii) the product of (A) the Company’s Equity in the most recent 12-month period, including the applicable period, and (B) 7% per annum; and (2) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of the most recent 12-month period. No incentive compensation is payable to the Manager with respect to any calendar quarter unless Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters is greater than zero. For purposes of calculating the Manager’s incentive compensation, the Management Agreement, as amended, specifies that equity securities of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries that are entitled to a specified periodic distribution or have other debt characteristics will not constitute equity securities and will not be included in “Equity” for the purpose of calculating incentive compensation. Instead, the aggregate distribution amount that accrues to such equity securities during the calendar quarter of such calculation will be subtracted from Core Earnings, before incentive compensation for purposes of calculating incentive compensation, unless such distribution is otherwise excluded from Core Earnings.

“Core Earnings” means the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of the Company’s common stock and Class A common stock and, without duplication, the holders of the Company’s subsidiaries’ equity securities (other than the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries), computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the incentive compensation, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) any unrealized gains or losses, including an allowance for credit losses, or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the applicable period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss or in net income and (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items, in each case after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and approved by a majority of the Company’s independent directors.

For long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the Manager has agreed to reduce by 50% the base management fee attributable to the inclusion of the Series B Preferred Stock in the Company’s Equity, such that the base management fee rate applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock included in the equity base will equal 0.75% per annum, instead of 1.50% per annum as provided in the Management Agreement.

Management Fees Incurred and Paid for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred and paid the following management fees and incentive management fees pursuant to the Management Agreement (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Management Agreement fees incurred	$	5,293	$	7,586	$	15,408	$	21,465
Management Agreement fees paid	$	5,115	$	7,371	$	12,367	$	19,979

Management fees and incentive management fees included in payable to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $5.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. No incentive management fee was earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Termination Fee

A termination fee would be due to the Manager upon termination of the Management Agreement by the Company absent a cause event. The termination fee would also be payable to the Manager upon termination of the Management Agreement by the Manager if the Company materially breaches the Management Agreement. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (x) the average annual base management fee and (y) the average annual incentive compensation earned by the Manager, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the date of termination.

Other Related Party Transactions

The Manager or its affiliates is responsible for the expenses related to the personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who provide services to the Company. However, the Company does reimburse the Manager for agreed-upon amounts based upon the Company’s allocable share of the compensation (including, without limitation, annual base salary, bonus, any related withholding taxes and employee benefits) paid to (1) the Manager’s personnel serving as the Company’s chief financial officer based on the percentage of his or her time spent managing the Company’s affairs and (2) other corporate finance, tax, accounting, internal audit, legal risk management, operations, compliance and other non-investment personnel of the Manager or its affiliates who spend all or a portion of their time managing the Company’s affairs, based on the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ affairs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Manager incurred $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of expenses that were subject to reimbursement by the Company for services rendered on its behalf by the Manager and its affiliates.

For as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding, the Manager has agreed that it will not seek reimbursement for reimbursable expenses in excess of the greater of (x) $1.0 million per fiscal year and (y) twenty percent (20%) of the Company’s allocable share of such reimbursable expenses pursuant to the Management Agreement per fiscal year. For each of the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company reimbursed to the Manager $250,000 of reimbursable expenses, and the Manager elected not to seek reimbursement for reimbursable amounts in excess thereof. There can be no assurance that the Manager will not seek reimbursement of such expenses in future quarters. If the product of 20% multiplied by eligible reimbursable expenses is expected to exceed $1.0 million annually, the Manager is obligated to inform and review with the Company’s board of directors, the methodology and rationale for such an increase in advance of the delivery to the Company of a written request for reimbursement reflecting such increase. No such notice has been received by the Company as of September 30, 2020.

The Company is required to pay the Manager or its affiliates for documented costs and expenses incurred with third parties by the Manager or its affiliates on behalf of the Company, subject to the Company’s review and approval of such costs and expenses. The Company’s obligation to pay for costs and expenses incurred on its behalf is not subject to a dollar limitation.

As of September 30, 2020, $2.7 million remained outstanding and payable to the Manager or its affiliates for third party expenses that were incurred on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding that were reimbursable by the Company to the Manager.

All expenses due and payable to the Manager are reflected in the respective expense category of the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income or consolidated balance sheets based on the nature of the item.

(11) Earnings per Share

The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented, since the unvested restricted shares of its common stock granted to certain current and former employees and affiliates of the Manager qualify as participating securities. These restricted shares have the same rights as the Company’s other shares of common stock and Class A common stock (which Class A shares were converted to common shares in February 2020), including participating in any dividends, and therefore are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of common stock dividends declared and undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock pursuant to stock grants made under the Company’s Incentive Plan (see Note 13 for details). For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of common stock dividends declared and undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock pursuant to stock grants made under the Company’s Incentive Plan.

In connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants described in Note 12, the Company elected the accreted redemption value method whereby the discount created based on the relative fair value of the Warrants to the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the related issuance costs will be accreted as a non-cash dividend on preferred stock over four years using the effective interest method. Such adjustments are included in Accretion of Discount on Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and treated similarly to a dividend on preferred stock for GAAP purposes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these adjustments totaled $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of warrants issued pursuant to the Company’s issuance of Series B Preferred Stock. The number of incremental shares is calculated utilizing the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Warrants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.57, which exceeds the strike price of $7.50 per common share for warrants currently outstanding. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Warrants were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (common stock and Class A common stock) based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and Class A common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

(12) Stockholders’ Equity

Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to Purchase Shares of Common Stock

On May 28, 2020, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with PE Holder L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global II, L.P., under which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser up to 13,000,000 shares of the Company’s 11.0% Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (plus any additional such shares paid as dividends pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 15,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s Common Stock, for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $325,000,000. Such purchases may occur in up to three tranches. The Investment Agreement contains market standard provisions regarding board representation, voting agreements, rights to information, and a standstill agreement and registration rights agreement regarding common stock acquired via exercise of Warrants.

On May 28, 2020, the Purchaser acquired the initial tranche, consisting of 9,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate price of $225.0 million. The Company, at its option, may sell to the Purchaser the second and third tranches on or prior to December 31, 2020, provided notice of intent to sell is delivered to the Purchaser not later than December 11, 2020. Each of the second and third tranches consists of 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million per tranche.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Company’s Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference over all other classes of the Company’s equity other than Series A Preferred Stock, which has liquidation preference over the Series B Preferred Stock.

Series B Preferred Stock bears a dividend at 11% per annum, accrued daily and compounded semi-annually, which is payable quarterly in cash; provided that up to 2.0% per annum of the liquidation preference may be paid, at the option of the Company, in the form of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Company, at its option, may redeem for cash, any or all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to (i) at any time on or before the two-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), at a price equal to the greater of (a) 105.0% of the sum of the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preference Amount”) (including all dividends (including any Accrued Dividends)) and (b) the Preference Amount (including all dividends (including Accrued Dividends)) plus the Make-Whole Amount (equal to the dividends that would have been earned from the redemption date through and including the second anniversary date of the Original Issuance Date, and as further defined in the Articles Supplementary) per share of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (ii) at any time after the two-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date but on or prior to the three-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, at a price equal to 105.0% of the Preference Amount (including all dividends (including Accrued Dividends)) as of the redemption date; (iii) at any time after the three-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date but on or prior to the four-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, at a price equal to 102.5% of the Preference Amount (including all dividends (including Accrued Dividends)) as of the redemption date; or (iv) at any time after the four-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, at a price equal to 100.0% of the Preference Amount (including all dividends (including Accrued Dividends)) as of the redemption date, subject to certain limitations.

If the Company or the Company’s Manager undergoes a Change in Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock may require the Company to repurchase any or all of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price equal to the then-applicable Optional Redemption Price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). In addition, upon any such Change of Control, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem any or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Change of Control Redemption Price, subject to certain limitations.

Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock may also require the Company to redeem all or any portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock, for a cash purchase price equal to 100.0% of the Preference Amount (including all dividends (including any Accrued Dividends) with respect to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock accrued but unpaid to, but not including the then-applicable redemption date), at any time: (i) after May 28, 2024; or (ii) following the occurrence of an Approval Right Default (as defined below).

Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote and will vote separately as a class (as described below), whether at a meeting or by written consent. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have exclusive voting rights on an amendment to the Company’s charter (the “Charter”) that would alter only the contract rights of the Series B Preferred Stock.

The vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a separate class, is required in order for the Company to (i) amend or waive any provision of the Charter or the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock; (ii) issue any capital stock ranking senior or pari passu to the Series B Preferred Stock (or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, any capital stock ranking senior or pari passu to the Series B Preferred Stock); (iii) issue any equity securities of any subsidiary of the Company (or any securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into, or exercisable for, such equity securities) to any third party other than the Company and or the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary; (iv) permit any Non-Target Asset Event (as defined in the Articles Supplementary); (v) pay any dividend or distribution in cash, capital stock or other assets of the Company on or in respect of, or the repurchase or redemption of, capital stock ranking pari passu or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions; (vi) incur Indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions, (vii) take any Restricted Indebtedness Action (as defined in the Articles Supplementary); (viii) liquidate, dissolve, or wind up the Company; or (ix) agree to undertake any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (viii) above, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Articles Supplementary.

The taking of any of the actions described in the prior paragraph (subject to certain exceptions and the Company’s ability to cure such action, in each case as specified in the Articles Supplementary) without the vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be an “Approval Right Default”.

On the issuance date, the Company retained third party valuation experts to assist with estimating the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants using the binomial lattice model. Based on the Warrants’ relative fair value to the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock, approximately $14.4 million of the $225.0 million proceeds was allocated to the Warrants, creating a corresponding preferred stock discount in the same amount. The Company elected the accreted redemption value method whereby this discount will be accreted over four years using the effective interest method, resulting in an increase in the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally, $14.2 million of costs directly related to the issuance will be accreted using the effective interest method. Such adjustments are included in Accretion of Discount on Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and treated similarly to a dividend on preferred stock for GAAP purposes.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $7.50 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to customary adjustments. The Warrants are exercisable on a net settlement basis and expire on May 28, 2025. The Warrants are classified as equity and were initially recorded at their estimated fair value of $14.4 million with no subsequent remeasurement. None of the Warrants have been exercised as of September 30, 2020.

Subject to certain limitations, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon any proposed exercise of any Warrant, and no Warrant will be exercised, in each case, to the extent that such exercise or issuance of Common Stock would result in a Registered Holder (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) beneficially owning in excess of 19.9% of the Stockholder Voting Power (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) as of May 28, 2020 (appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or other similar events).

The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement, the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants, the Articles Supplementary, the Warrant Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Amendments and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment Agreement, the Articles Supplementary, the Warrant Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amendments, which are attached as exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference.

Conversion of Class A Shares

Between January 22, 2020 and January 24, 2020, the Company received requests to convert all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were retired and returned to the authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock of the Company, and the holders of shares of the Class A common stock were issued an aggregate of 1,136,665 shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 14, 2020, the Company filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland to reclassify and designate all 2,500,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock as additional shares of undesignated common stock of the Company. The Articles Supplementary became effective upon filing on February 14, 2020. As a result, as of September 30, 2020, there are no shares of the Company’s Class A common stock authorized or outstanding.

Equity Distribution Agreement

On March 7, 2019, the Company and the Manager entered into an equity distribution agreement with each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, JMP Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and TPG Capital BD, LLC (each a “Sales Agent” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of shares of its common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program. In accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, the Company may, at its discretion and from time to time, offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $125.0 million through the Sales Agents, each acting as the Company’s agent. The offering of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the equity distribution agreement having an aggregate gross sales price of $125.0 million and (2) the termination of the equity distribution agreement by the Sales Agents or the Company at any time as set forth in the equity distribution agreement. At September 30, 2020, cumulative gross proceeds issued under the equity distribution agreement totaled $50.9 million, leaving $74.1 million available for future issuance subject to the direction of management, and market conditions.

Each Sales Agent will be entitled to commissions in an amount not to exceed 1.75% of the gross sales prices of shares of the Company’s common stock sold through it, as the Company’s agent. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold no shares of common stock under this arrangement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold $0.6 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price per share of $20.53 and gross proceeds of $12.9 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid commissions totaling $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company used the proceeds from the offering to originate commercial real estate loans, acquire CRE debt securities and for general corporate purposes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, no shares of common stock were sold pursuant to the equity distribution agreement.

2019 Underwritten Offering

In March 2019, the Company completed a common stock offering of 6.0 million shares at a price to the underwriters of $19.80 per share, generating net proceeds of $118.8 million, after underwriting discounts. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement that the Company entered into with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the underwriters, on April 12, 2019, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase 900,000 additional shares of common stock (the “Option Shares”). As a result, the Company issued and sold 900,000 Option Shares to the underwriters on April 16, 2019 and generated additional net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of approximately $17.4 million. The Manager reimbursed offering costs of $0.3 million. The Company used net proceeds from the offering to originate commercial real estate loans and acquire CRE debt securities.

10b5-1 Purchase Plan

The Company entered into an agreement and related amendments (the “10b5-1 Purchase Plan”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as the Company’s agent, to buy in the open market up to $35.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate during the period beginning on or about August 21, 2017. On August 1, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to extend the repurchase period for the remaining capital committed to the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan to February 28, 2019. No other changes to the terms of the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan were authorized.

The 10b5-1 Purchase Plan required Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to purchase for the Company shares of the Company’s common stock when the market price per share is below the threshold price specified in the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan which is based on the Company’s book value per common share. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 2,324 shares of common stock, at a weighted average price of $18.27 per share, for total consideration (including commissions and related fees) of $0.4 million. The 10b5-1 Purchase Plan expired by its terms on February 28, 2019.

Issuance of Sub-REIT Preferred Stock

In January 2019, a subsidiary of the Company issued 625 shares of Series A preferred stock of which 500 shares were retained by the Company and 125 shares were sold to third party investors for proceeds of $0.1 million. The 500 preferred shares of Series A preferred stock retained by the Company are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Dividends

Upon the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company accrues dividends. Dividends are paid first to the holders of the Company’s Series A preferred stock at the rate of 12.5% of the total $0.001 million liquidation preference per annum plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, then to holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of 11.0% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, and then to the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to distribute each year substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Board of Directors will determine whether to pay future dividends, entirely in cash, or in a combination of stock and cash based on facts and circumstances at the time such decisions are made.

On September 15, 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors declared and approved a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.20 per share of common stock, or $15.4 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 23, 2020 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of September 25, 2020.

On September 15, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.69 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, or $6.2 million in the aggregate, which dividend was paid on September 30, 2020 to the holder of record of our Series B Preferred Stock as of September 15, 2020.

On September 17, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2019 in the amount of $0.43 per share of common stock and Class A common stock, or $32.0 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 25, 2019 to holders of record of our common stock and Class A common stock as of September 27, 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, common stock and Class A common stock dividends in the amount of $64.1 million and $95.6 million, respectively, were declared and approved. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash dividend in the amount of $8.5 million was declared and paid to the holders of the Company’s Series A preferred stock.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $15.4 million and $32.8 million, respectively, remain unpaid and are reflected in dividends payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(13) Share-Based Incentive Plan

The Company does not have any employees. As of September 30, 2020, certain individuals employed by an affiliate of the Manager and certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors were compensated, in part, through the issuance of share-based instruments.

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted, and the Company’s stockholders have approved, the TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards to the Company’s, and its affiliates’, directors, officers, employees (if any) and consultants, and the members, officers, directors, employees and consultants of our Manager or its affiliates, as well as to our Manager and other entities that provide services to us and our affiliates and the employees of such entities. The total number of shares of common stock or long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) units that may be awarded under the Incentive Plan is 4,600,463. The Incentive Plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Generally, the shares vest in installments over a four-year period, pursuant to the terms of the award and the Incentive Plan. The following table presents the number of shares associated with outstanding awards that will vest over the next four years. Shares presented for the current year, 2020, includes 121,018 shares which have vested during the period from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020.

Vesting Year	Shares of Common Stock
2020		229,521
2021		229,522
2022		102,389
2023		62,574
		624,006

As of September 30, 2020, total unrecognized compensation cost relating to unvested share-based compensation arrangements was $7.8 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years from September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

Impact of COVID-19

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and globally, the Company’s borrowers and their tenants, the properties securing the Company’s investments, and the economy as a whole have been, and will continue to be, adversely impacted. The magnitude and duration of COVID-19 and its impact on the Company’s borrowers and their tenants, cash flows and future results of operations could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the success of actions taken to contain or treat the pandemic, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. The prolonged duration and impact of COVID-19 has and could further materially disrupt the Company’s business operations and impact its financial performance.

Unfunded Commitments

As part of its lending activities, the Company commits to certain funding obligations which are not advanced at closing and that have not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These commitments to extend credit are made as part of the Company’s portfolio of loans held for investment. The aggregate amount of unrecognized unfunded loan commitments existing at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $514.0 million and $630.6 million, respectively.

The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company of $2.7 million which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when a settlement arising from a legal proceeding is both probable and reasonably estimable. If a legal matter is not probable and reasonably estimable, no such liability is recorded. Examples of this include (i) early stages of a legal proceeding, (ii) damages that are unspecified or cannot be determined, (iii) discovery has not started or is incomplete or (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions. If these items exist, an estimated range of potential loss cannot be determined and as such the Company does not record an accrued liability.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings and has not recorded an accrued liability for loss contingencies.

Impact of COVID-19 on Concentration of Credit Risk

The potential negative impacts on the Company’s business caused by COVID-19 may be heightened by the fact that the Company is not required to observe specific diversification criteria, which means that the Company’s investments may be concentrated in certain property types, geographical areas or loan categories that are more adversely affected by COVID-19 than other property types, geographical areas or loan categories. For example, certain of the loans in the Company’s loan portfolio are secured by office buildings, hotels and retail properties. Federal and state mandates implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders, have and are likely to continue to negatively impact the hotel and retail industries, which could adversely affect the Company’s investments in assets secured by properties that operate in these industries. Also, changes in how certain types of commercial properties are used while maintaining social distancing and other techniques intended to control the impact of COVID-19 (for example, office buildings may be adversely impacted by a possible reversal in the recent trend toward increased densification of office space, or a preference by office users for suburban properties less reliant on public transportation to safely deliver their employees to and from the workplace) have and are likely to impact our investments secured by these properties. Additionally, 32.6% of the Company’s loan portfolio measured by commitment amount is secured by properties located in the Midwest and South regions of the United States, which have recently experienced a surge in infection rates prompting certain states and municipalities to slow or reverse reopening of the local economies. Delayed or reversed re-openings could adversely affect the Company’s loan investments secured by properties in these regions.

(16) Subsequent Events

The following events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2020:

Loan Default at Maturity

On October 9, 2020, a $112.0 million first mortgage loan reached final maturity without repayment or satisfaction of extension conditions, which triggered a maturity default. The loan was current with respect to payments of interest and principal immediately prior to the maturity default via a pre-funded interest reserve. Consequently, the Company has placed the loan on non-accrual status and declared the event of default. Additionally, the loan’s risk rating was downgraded to “5” from “4”. Management determined that the Company’s recovery of its loan principal is collateral-dependent. Accordingly, this loan was individually-assessed under ASU 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and a specific reserve for expected credit loss of $12.8 million was recorded using the discounted cash flow method of valuation. The Company is in discussions regarding the exercise of remedies, including without limitation, commencing a foreclosure or negotiating a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with the borrower. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.

Secured Credit Facility

On October 30, 2020, the Company closed with a single institutional counterparty a new secured credit facility with a commitment amount and unpaid principal balance of $249.5 million. The new credit facility is secured by seven first mortgage loans, or participation interests therein. Proceeds from the new credit facility were used to directly refinance certain existing secured credit facility borrowings and to facilitate reinvestment in TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX 2019-FL3, ultimately retiring 100% of the Company’s mark-to-market borrowings related to its hotel loans. The new credit facility has a committed term of three years through October 30, 2023, a credit spread of 4.50%, a LIBOR floor of 0.25%, and contains no mark-to-market provisions that would trigger margin calls for two years from closing.

First Mortgage Loan Activity

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company received repayment in full of four first mortgage loan investments with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $309.4 million, a weighted average spread of 281 basis points, and a weighted average floor of 1.86%. Net cash proceeds were $41.5 million after repayment of associated borrowings of $152.2 million, and $115.7 million of cash was received by TRTX 2019 FL-3 which is available for reinvestment in eligible loan investments.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited and audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020. In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those in this discussion as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020.

Overview

We are a commercial real estate finance company externally managed by TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P. and sponsored by TPG. We directly originate, acquire and manage commercial mortgage loans and other commercial real estate-related investments in North America for our balance sheet. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders over time through cash distributions and capital appreciation. To meet our objective, we focus primarily on directly originating and selectively acquiring floating rate first mortgage loans that are secured by high quality commercial real estate properties undergoing some form of transition and value creation, such as retenanting, refurbishment or other form of repositioning. The collateral underlying our loans is located in primary and select secondary markets in the U.S. that we believe have attractive economic conditions and commercial real estate fundamentals. We operate our business as one segment.

As of September 30, 2020, our loan investment portfolio consisted of 62 first mortgage loans (or interests therein) and one mezzanine loan with total loan commitments of $5.4 billion, an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $4.9 billion, a weighted average credit spread of 3.3%, a weighted average all-in yield of 5.3%, a weighted average term to extended maturity (assuming all extension options have been exercised by borrowers) of 3.3 years, and a weighted average LTV of 65.8%. As of September 30, 2020, 100% of the loan commitments in our portfolio consisted of floating rate loans, of which 99.4% were first mortgage loans and 0.6% was a mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2020, we had $514.0 million of unfunded loan commitments, our funding of which is subject to borrower satisfaction of certain milestones.

We have made an election to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We believe we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and we believe that our organization and current and intended manner of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. We operate our business in a manner that permits us to maintain an exclusion or exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic caused significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economies. These disruptions have contributed to significant and ongoing volatility, widening credit spreads and sharp declines in liquidity in the real estate securities and whole loan financing markets. As a result of the impact of COVID-19, many commercial real estate finance and financial services industry participants, including us, have reduced new investment activity until the capital markets become more stable, the macroeconomic outlook becomes clearer, market liquidity improves, and transaction volumes increase. In this environment, we are focused on actively managing portfolio credit, generating and recycling liquidity from existing assets, extending the maturities and further reducing the mark-to-market exposure of our liabilities and controlling corporate overhead as a percentage of our total assets and total revenues. For more information regarding the impact that COVID-19 has had and may have on our business, see “Risk Factors.”

Our Manager

We are externally managed by our Manager, TPG RE Finance Trust Management, L.P., an affiliate of TPG. TPG manages investments across multiple asset classes, including private equity, real estate, energy, infrastructure, and hedge funds. Our Manager manages our investments and our day-to-day business and affairs in conformity with our investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by our board of directors. Our Manager is responsible for, among other matters, (A) the selection, origination or purchase and sale of our portfolio investments, (B) our financing activities and (C) providing us with investment advisory services. Our Manager is also responsible for our day-to-day operations and performs (or causes to be performed) such services and activities relating to our investments and business and affairs as may be appropriate. Our investment decisions are approved by an investment committee of our Manager that is comprised of senior investment professionals of TPG, including senior investment professionals of TPG's real estate equity group and TPG’s executive committee. For a summary of certain terms of the management agreement between us and our Manager (the “Management Agreement”), see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Key Financial Measures and Indicators

As a commercial real estate finance company, we believe the key financial measures and indicators for our business are earnings per share, dividends declared per common share, Core Earnings, and book value per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded earnings per diluted common share of $0.39, a decrease of $0.13 of earnings per share from the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a small credit loss expense of $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a $10.5 million reduction in credit loss expense during the preceding quarter, offset by an increase in net interest income of $4.2 million and a quarter-over-quarter decline in operating expenses, primarily professional fees. Core Earnings per diluted common share was $0.42 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $0.19 from the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, which was paid on October 23, 2020.

Our book value per common share as of September 30, 2020 was $16.78, a $0.23 increase from our book value per common share as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to net income that exceeded dividends declared on our Series A and Series B preferred stock and our common stock. As further described below, Core Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use Core Earnings to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations.

Earnings Per Common Share and Dividends Declared Per Common Share

The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of warrants, which are exercisable on a net-settlement basis. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. We exclude participating securities and warrants from the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share in periods of net losses since their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we present diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.57, which exceeds the strike price of $7.50 per common share for warrants currently outstanding.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share and dividends declared per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended
	September 30, 2020		June 30, 2020
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc.⁽¹⁾	$	32,230	$	40,673
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding, Basic⁽²⁾		76,756,411		76,644,038
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding, Diluted⁽²⁾		78,254,661		76,644,038
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share, Basic⁽²⁾	$	0.40	$	0.52
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share, Diluted⁽²⁾	$	0.39	$	0.52
Dividends Declared per Common Share⁽²⁾	$	0.20	$	0.20

(1)	Represents net income attributable to holders of our common stock after deducting Series A and Series B Preferred Stock dividends.

(2)	Weighted average number of shares outstanding, earnings per common share and dividends declared per common share includes common stock.

Core Earnings

We use Core Earnings to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and GAAP adjustments we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations. Core Earnings is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to our stockholders, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in GAAP net income (loss), and excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) unrealized gains (losses), including an allowance for estimated credit losses, and (iv) certain non-cash items. Core Earnings may also be adjusted from time to time to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges as determined by our Manager, subject to approval by a majority of our independent directors. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization from the calculation of Core Earnings only applies to debt investments related to real estate to the extent we foreclose upon the property or properties underlying such debt investments.

We believe that Core Earnings provides meaningful information to consider in addition to our net income and cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Although pursuant to our Management Agreement we calculate the incentive and base management fees due to our Manager using Core Earnings before incentive fee expense, we report Core Earnings after incentive fee expense, because we believe this is a more meaningful presentation of the economic performance of our common stock.

Core Earnings does not represent net income or cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, 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 Core Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported Core Earnings may not be comparable to the Core Earnings reported by other companies.

For additional information on the fees we pay our Manager, see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

•

Undrawn capacity under secured credit facilities of $37.4 million, of which $30.9 million was immediately available. Undrawn capacity represents the positive difference between the borrowing amount approved by the lender against collateral assets pledged by us and the amount currently drawn against those collateral assets. The funding of such amounts is generally subject to the sole and absolute discretion of each lender, and there can be no certainty that each lender will provide such funding if so requested by the Company.

Additionally, the Company has the option to issue up to $100.0 million of additional Series B Preferred Stock prior to December 31, 2020, provided notice is given to the purchaser not later than December 11, 2020.

Portfolio Overview

The Company’s interest-earning assets include its portfolio of floating rate mortgage loans. At September 30, 2020, our loan portfolio was comprised of 63 loans totaling $5.4 billion of commitments with an unpaid principal balance of $4.9 billion, as compared to 65 loans with $5.8 billion of commitments and an unpaid principal balance of $5.1 billion at June 30, 2020.

Loan Portfolio

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we originated one loan, with an initial unpaid principal balance of $78.4 million, which involved the assumption and simultaneous assignment of an existing first mortgage loan by the third-party purchaser of the property securing the loan. The transaction was treated as a new loan origination and extinguishment of the existing loan under GAAP. Loan fundings included $51.0 million of deferred fundings related to previously originated loan commitments. Proceeds from loan repayments totaled $199.6 million due primarily to the repayment in full of three loans totaling $194.5 million of unpaid principal balance. We sold at no gain or loss a $46.4 million (commitment amount of $50.0 million) mezzanine loan associated with a $300.8 million first mortgage loan owned by us. We generated interest income of $69.9 million and incurred interest expense of $21.5 million, which resulted in net interest income of $48.4 million.

The following table details our loan activity by unpaid principal balance for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

(1)

In certain instances, we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third-party. In either case, the senior mortgage loan (i.e., the non-consolidated senior interest) is not included on our balance sheet. When we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third-party, we retain on our balance sheet a mezzanine loan. Total loan commitment encompasses the entire loan portfolio we originated, acquired and financed. At September 30, 2020, we had one non-consolidated senior interest outstanding of $132.0 million.

(2)	Unpaid principal balance includes PIK interest of $3.9 million as of September 30, 2020.

(3)

Unfunded loan commitments may be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date or a force-funding date, primarily to finance property improvements or lease-related expenditures by our borrowers, to finance operating deficits during renovation and lease-up, and in limited instances to finance construction.

(4)

As of September 30, 2020, our floating rate loans were indexed to LIBOR. In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. Credit spread and all-in yield for the total portfolio assumes the applicable floating benchmark rate as of September 30, 2020 for weighted average calculations.

(5)

Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2020, based on the unpaid principal balance of our total loan exposure, 43.6% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 56.4% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(6)

Except for construction loans, LTV is calculated for loan originations and existing loans as the total outstanding principal balance of the loan or participation interest in a loan (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan or participation interest) as of September 30, 2020, divided by the as-is appraised value of our collateral at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest. For construction loans only, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value of the real estate securing the loan. The as-is or as-stabilized (as applicable) value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of the loan or participation interest in a loan, of the real estate value underlying such loan or participation interest determined in accordance with our Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by our Manager.

For information regarding the financing of our loan portfolio, see the section entitled “Investment Portfolio Financing.”

Asset Management

We actively manage the assets in our portfolio from closing to final repayment. We are party to an agreement with Situs Asset Management, LLC (“Situs”), one of the largest commercial mortgage loan servicers, pursuant to which Situs provides us with dedicated asset management employees for performing asset management services pursuant to our proprietary guidelines. Following the closing of an investment, this dedicated asset management team rigorously monitors the investment under our Manager’s oversight, with an emphasis on ongoing financial, legal and quantitative analyses. Through the final repayment of an investment, the asset management team maintains regular contact with borrowers, servicers and local market experts monitoring performance of the collateral, anticipating borrower, property and market issues, and enforcing our rights and remedies when appropriate.

Our Manager reviews our entire loan portfolio quarterly, undertakes an assessment of the performance of each loan, and assigns it a risk rating between “1” and “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a discussion regarding the risk rating system that we use in connection with our portfolio. The following table allocates among risk categories the amortized cost of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 based on our internal risk ratings (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
Risk Rating	Amortized Cost		Number of Loans		Amortized Cost		Number of Loans
1	$	—		—	$	—		—
2		664,110		7		903,393		11
3		3,316,006		39		3,868,696		47
4		836,371		16		208,300		7
5		111,982		1		—		—
Unpaid principal balance	$	4,928,469		63	$	4,980,389		65

For the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the weighted average risk rating of our total loan exposure based on amortized cost was 3.1 and 2.9, respectively. Changes in risk ratings during each of the three quarters of 2020 included:

•

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020 we reclassified:

•

one loan from risk category “4” to “5” due to an anticipated maturity default that subsequently occurred on October 9, 2020;

•

one loan from risk category “3” to “2” because the collateral property achieved 100% leased occupancy at rents in excess of underwriting;

•

one loan from risk category “4” to ”3” because the underlying collateral property was purchased by a new owner that infused new equity capital, assumed the existing first mortgage loan, repaid $3.0 million of unpaid principal balance, and agreed to make a further principal repayment of $1.0 million in December 2020; and

•

one loan from risk category “5” to ”4” due to a loan modification and amendment executed during the quarter that required the borrower to immediately pay all past-due interest and infuse new equity capital.

•

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we reclassified nine of our hotel loans to risk category “4” due to operating challenges related to COVID-19; and

•

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we reclassified one loan to risk category “5” from “4”, and reclassified one loan to risk category “2” from “3”.

We expect that over the near, intermediate and perhaps long term, the economic and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 will adversely impact or continue to adversely impact the financial condition of our borrowers. As a result, we anticipate that the number of borrowers who become delinquent or default on their loans may increase significantly. We have entered into loan modification agreements with several borrowers that permit borrowers to defer payment of some or all of the interest on their loans generally for a period of up to six months, and/or the repurposing of certain cash reserve balances within the loan structure for use in paying interest or operating expenses. In exchange, borrowers and sponsors are required to make partial principal repayments and/or provide us additional cash for payment of interest, operating expenses, and replenishment of capital reserves in amounts and combinations acceptable to us.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we executed eight loan modifications with borrowers. As of September 30, 2020, these loans had an aggregate commitment amount of $365.9 million and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $351.3 million. None of these loan modifications trigger the requirements for accounting as TDRs. Four of the modifications meet the safe-harbor conditions of the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” issued by banking regulators in consultation with FASB. The agencies encourage financial institutions and other lenders to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. The agencies view loan modification programs to borrowers who were current prior to the outbreak as positive actions that can mitigate adverse effects due to COVID-19. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. These loan modifications typically temporarily reduce the amount of cash interest collected, permit the accrual of a portion of the interest due during the modification period to be repaid at a later date by the borrower, and/or permit the use of existing cash loan reserves to pay interest expense and other property-level expenses. All of the modified loans are performing, and none are on non-accrual status.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we executed 14 such loan modifications. Three of these modifications expired (two due to repayment of the loans in full) in the third quarter of 2020, seven will expire in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the remaining four will expire after December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of modified loans outstanding was $775.3 million.

We continue to work with our borrowers to address the circumstances caused by COVID-19 while seeking to protect the credit attributes of our loans. However, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful, and we may experience payment delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures or losses.

Investment Portfolio Financing

Our portfolio financing arrangements during the period ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 included collateralized loan obligations, secured credit agreements, a secured revolving credit agreement and an asset-specific financing arrangement. We had one outstanding non-consolidated senior interest outstanding at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with a total loan commitment of $132.0 million.

The following table details our portfolio financing arrangements at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Asset-specific financing		77,000		77,000
Total indebtedness⁽²⁾	$	3,644,873	$	4,357,114

(1)	Increase in the balance as of September 30, 2020 is due to the sale of TRTX 2018-FL2 Notes during the second quarter of 2020 with an aggregate note face amount of $14.7 million, previously acquired in the open market.

(2)	Excludes deferred financing costs of $18.8 million and $25.6 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Secured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2020, aggregate borrowings outstanding under our secured credit facilities totaled $1.7 billion, which was entirely related to our mortgage loan investments. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate was LIBOR plus 1.7% per annum, and the weighted average advance rate was 69.2%. As of September 30, 2020, outstanding borrowings under these facilities for our mortgage loan investments had a weighted average term to extended maturity of 2.0 years (assuming we have exercised all extension options and term out provisions). These secured credit agreements are 25% recourse to Holdco.

(1)	The maximum month end balance subtotal and total represents the maximum outstanding borrowings on all secured credit facilities at a month end during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

(2)	None of these secured credit facilities had balances outstanding after April 30, 2020, and all such facilities were terminated prior to June 30, 2020.

We separate our secured credit facilities into two categories: secured credit facilities secured by our loan assets; and secured credit facilities secured by our CRE debt securities. At September 30, 2020, we no longer had any secured credit facilities related to CRE debt securities.

Once we identify an asset and the asset is approved by the secured credit facility lender to serve as collateral (which lender’s approval is in its sole discretion), we and the lender may enter into a transaction whereby the lender advances to us a percentage of the value of the asset, which is referred to as the “advance rate,” as the purchase price for such transaction with an obligation of ours to repurchase the asset from the lender for an amount equal to the purchase price for the transaction plus a price differential, which is calculated based on an interest rate. Advance rates are subject to negotiation between us and our secured credit facility lenders. In connection only with our former secured credit facilities secured by CRE debt securities, advance rates could be reduced or increased upon the maturity of the applicable contract.

For each transaction, we and the lender agree to a trade confirmation which sets forth, among other things, the purchase price, the maximum advance rate, the interest rate and the market value of the asset. For transactions under our secured credit agreements secured by our loan assets, the trade confirmation may also set forth any future funding obligations which are contemplated with respect to the specific transaction and/or the underlying loan asset. For loan assets which involve future funding obligations of ours, the repurchase transaction may provide for the repurchase lender to fund portions (for example, pro rata per the maximum advance rate of the related repurchase transaction) of such future funding obligations.

Generally, our secured credit facilities allow for revolving balances, which allow us to voluntarily repay balances and draw again on existing available credit. The primary obligor on each secured credit facility is a separate special purpose subsidiary of ours which is restricted from conducting activity other than activity related to the utilization of its secured credit facility and the loans or loan interests that are originated or acquired by such subsidiary. As additional credit support, our holding company subsidiary, Holdco, provides certain guarantees of the obligations of its subsidiaries. The amount of Holdco’s potential liability under these guarantees depends upon whether the guarantee relates to a secured credit facility secured by loans or by CRE debt securities:

•

For our secured credit facilities secured by loans, Holdco’s liability is generally capped at 25% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which is the primary obligor under the related agreement. However, this liability cap does not apply in the event of certain “bad boy” defaults which can trigger recourse to Holdco for losses or the entire outstanding obligations of the borrower depending on the nature of the “bad boy” default in question. Examples of such “bad boy” defaults include, without limitation, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, incurrence of additional debt in violation of financing documents, and the filing of a voluntary or collusive involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of the special purpose entity subsidiary or the guarantor entity.

•

For our former secured credit facilities secured by CRE debt securities, Holdco’s liability was in an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding obligations of the special purpose subsidiary which was the primary obligor under the related agreement.

Each of the secured credit facilities have “margin maintenance” provisions, which are designed to allow the repurchase lender to maintain a certain margin of credit enhancement against the assets which serve as collateral. The lender’s margin amount is typically based on a percentage of the market value of the asset and/or mortgaged property collateral; however, certain secured revolving credit agreements may also involve margin maintenance based on maintenance of a minimum debt yield with respect to the cash flow from the underlying real estate collateral.

The margin maintenance provisions differ in some respects, depending upon whether the provisions are contained in secured credit facilities secured by loans or by CRE debt securities:

•

Our secured credit facilities secured by loans contain defined mark-to-market provisions that permit the lenders to issue margin calls to us in the event that the collateral properties underlying our loans pledged to our lenders experience a non-temporary decline in value (“credit marks”) due to reasons other than capital markets events that result in changing credit spreads for similar borrowing obligations. In connection with one of these borrowing arrangements, the lender is also permitted to issue margin calls to the Company in the event the lender determines capital markets events have caused credit spreads to change for similar borrowing obligations (“spread marks”). On May 28, 2020, we made voluntary deleveraging payments totaling $157.7 million to our seven secured credit facility lenders in exchange for their agreement to suspend margin calls for defined periods, subject to certain conditions. When these payments were made, no margin deficits existed, and no margin calls have been issued to us since. If market turbulence returns, there may be margin calls in connection with our secured credit agreements secured by our mortgage loan investments upon or after the expiry of these agreements.

•

Our secured credit facilities secured by CRE debt securities contained daily mark-to-market provisions that permitted the lenders to issue margin calls to us in response to changing interest rates and credit spreads on the CRE debt securities so financed. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, extreme short-term volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets required us to post cash collateral with our lenders under these facilities. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for more information.

The maturity dates for each of our secured credit agreements are set forth in tables that appear earlier in this section. Our secured credit agreements secured by loans generally have terms of between one and three years, but may be extended if we satisfy certain performance-based conditions. Our secured credit facilities secured by CRE debt securities generally had terms between one month and three months, and the lenders under these agreements generally had the right not to renew, or to do so only on a shorter term. In the normal course of business, we are in discussions with our lenders to extend or amend any financing facilities which contain near term expirations.

At September 30, 2020, the weighted average haircut (which is equal to one minus the advance rate percentage against collateral for our secured credit facilities taken as a whole) was 30.8% as compared to 19.4% at December 31, 2019. The year-over-year increase in our weighted average haircut was due to two factors: first, the repayment in full and subsequent termination by the Company of all of its secured credit agreements for CRE debt securities: and, second, our voluntary deleveraging repayments of $157.7 million made on May 29, 2020. The haircut for our secured credit agreements is dependent on the collateral used (loans or CRE debt securities) for the secured credit agreements. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the following table presents the weighted average haircut on our secured credit agreements by collateral type:

	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Loans		30.8	%		21.4	%
CRE Debt Securities	N/A				13.9	%
Weighted Average		30.8	%		19.4	%

Generally, when the repurchase lender’s margin amount has fallen below the outstanding purchase price for a transaction, a margin deficit exists and the repurchase lender may require that we prepay outstanding amounts on the secured credit agreement to eliminate such margin deficit. For our secured credit agreements involving loans, the repurchase lender’s ability to make a margin call is limited by certain prerequisites, such as the existence of enumerated “credit events” or that the margin deficit exceed a specified minimum threshold.

The secured credit facilities also include cash management features which generally require that income from collateral loan assets be deposited in a lender-controlled account and be distributed in accordance with a specified waterfall of payments designed to keep facility-related obligations current before such income is disbursed for our own account. The cash management features generally require the trapping of cash in such controlled account if an uncured default remains outstanding. Furthermore, some secured credit agreements may require an accelerated principal amortization schedule if the secured credit agreement is in its final extended term.

Notwithstanding that a loan asset may be subject to a financing arrangement and serve as collateral under a secured credit facility, we retain the right to administer and service the loan and interact directly with the underlying obligors and sponsors of our loan assets so long as there is no default under the secured credit agreement and so long as we do not engage in certain material modifications (including amendments, waivers, exercises of remedies, or releases of obligors and collateral, among other things) of the loan assets without the repurchase lender’s prior consent.

Collateralized Loan Obligations

As of September 30, 2020, we had two collateralized loan obligations, TRTX 2019-FL3 and TRTX 2018-FL2, totaling $1.8 billion, financing 42 existing first mortgage loan investments totaling $2.2 billion, providing efficient cost, non-mark-to-market, non-recourse financing for 48.6% of our loan portfolio borrowings. The collateralized loan obligations bear a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.4%, have a weighted average advance rate of 83.1%, and include a reinvestment feature that allows us to contribute existing or newly originated loan investments in exchange for proceeds from loan repayments held in the collateralized loan obligations. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we reinvested $159.5 million of cash in TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX 2019-FL3 generated by loan payments.

Secured Revolving Credit Agreement

Previously, we were a party to a secured revolving credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. with maximum borrowing capacity of $160.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability and certain other conditions. We used this facility to finance originations or acquisitions of eligible loans on an interim basis until permanent financing was arranged. The facility had an initial maturity date of July 12, 2020 and an interest rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR or the applicable base rate plus a margin of 2.25%. The initial advance rate on borrowings under the secured revolving credit agreement with respect to individual pledged assets could range up to 70% and decline thereafter during the maximum borrowing term of 90 days, after which borrowings against each asset-specific borrowing required repayment. This facility was 100% recourse to Holdco. We allowed this credit facility to expire by its terms on July 12, 2020. At September 30, 2020, we had no balance outstanding under the facility.

Asset-Specific Financings

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had one asset-specific financing arrangement to finance certain of its lending activities. The asset-specific financing does not provide for additional advances and the current initial maturity of this agreement was October 9, 2020, with an extension of 12 months subject to satisfaction of certain requirements by the borrower on the underlying mortgage loan, which is coterminous with the underlying asset. As of September 30, 2020, the asset-specific financing principal balance is $77.0 million and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.2%. The underlying first mortgage loan to which this financing relates experienced a maturity default on October 9, 2020. The institutional lender and the Company are consulting regarding the exercise of rights and remedies against the underlying borrower, guarantor and related collateral properties, and under the co-lender agreement between the institutional lender and the Company. Refer to Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details.

The following table details statistics for our asset-specific financing at September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

September 30, 2020
Lender	Count	Commitment		Principal Balance		Undrawn Capacity⁽¹⁾		Amortized Cost		Weighted Average Interest Rate⁽²⁾	Extended Maturity⁽³⁾
Institutional Lender
Collateral asset	1	$	112,000	$	112,000	N/A		$	111,982	L+ 6.8%	10/09/21
Financing provided	1		77,000		77,000		—		76,990	L+ 4.2%	10/09/21
Totals
Collateral Asset	1	$	112,000	$	112,000	N/A		$	111,982	L+ 6.8%
Financing Provided	1	$	77,000	$	77,000	$	—	$	76,990	L+ 4.2%

(1)

Undrawn capacity represents the positive difference between the borrowing amount approved by the lender against the collateral asset pledged by us and the amount actually drawn against that collateral asset. In the case of an asset-specific financing, our ability to draw the undrawn capacity is conditioned upon satisfaction by our borrower of conditions precedent to a funding on the underlying loan pledged as collateral, and by our pro rata funding with equity of the remaining future funding obligation. Amounts designated as undrawn capacity under our asset specific financing may only be used to satisfy our future funding obligations on the respective underlying pledged loan.

(2)	This floating rate loan and the related liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.

(3)	For the Collateral Asset, extended maturity is determined based on the maximum maturity of the loan, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loan may be repaid prior to such date.

Non-Consolidated Senior Interests

In certain instances, we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party. In either case, the senior mortgage loan (i.e., the non-consolidated senior interest) is not included on our balance sheet. When we create structural leverage through the co-origination or non-recourse syndication of a senior loan interest to a third party, we retain on our balance sheet a mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2020, the Company retained a mezzanine loan investment with a total commitment of $35.0 million, an unpaid principal balance of $31.5 million and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 10.3%.

The following table presents our non-consolidated senior interests outstanding as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Non-Consolidated Senior Interests	Count		Loan Commitment		Principal Balance		Amortized Cost		Weighted Average Credit Spread⁽¹⁾			Guarantee		Weighted Average Term to Extended Maturity
Senior loan sold or co-originated		1	$	132,000	$	132,000		N/A		L+ 4.3	%		N/A	6/28/2025
Retained mezzanine loan		1		35,000		31,465		31,271		L+ 10.3	%		N/A	6/28/2025
Total loan		2	$	167,000	$	163,465				L+ 5.5	%			6/28/2025

(1)	Loan commitment used as a basis for computation of weighted average credit spread.

Financial Covenants for Outstanding Borrowings

Our financial covenants and guarantees for outstanding borrowings related to our secured credit agreements require Holdco to maintain compliance with the following financial covenants (among others), which were revised on May 28, 2020 as follows:

Financial Covenant	Current	Prior to May 28, 2020
Cash Liquidity	Minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of: $10.0 million; and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness	Minimum cash liquidity of no less than the greater of: $10.0 million; and 5.0% of Holdco’s recourse indebtedness
Tangible Net Worth	$1.1 billion as of April 1, 2020, plus 75% of future equity issuances thereafter	Minimum tangible net worth of at least 75% of the net cash proceeds of all prior equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company, plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of all subsequent equity issuances made by Holdco or the Company
Debt to Equity	Debt to Equity ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0 with "equity" and "equity adjustment" as defined below	Debt to Equity ratio not to exceed 3.5 to 1.0
Interest Coverage	Minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.4 to 1.0 until December 2, 2020, and no less than 1.5 to 1.0 thereafter	Minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.5 to 1.0

For so long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, we are required to maintain a debt to equity ratio not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. For the purpose of determining this ratio, the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock is excluded from the calculation of total indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and is included in the calculation of total equity. We were in compliance with the financial covenant relating to the Series B Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2020.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants for our secured credit agreements, secured revolving credit agreement, and asset-specific financings to the extent of outstanding balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

If we fail to meet or satisfy any of the covenants in our financing arrangements and are unable to obtain a waiver or other suitable relief from the lenders, we would be in default under these agreements, which could result in a cross-default or cross-acceleration under other financing arrangements, and our lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable (or such amounts may automatically become due and payable), terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their respective interests against existing collateral. A default also could limit significantly our financing alternatives, which could cause us to curtail our investment activities or dispose of assets when we otherwise would not choose to do so. Further, this could make it difficult for us to satisfy the requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with these covenants in the future. For more information regarding the impact that COVID-19 may have on our ability to comply with these covenants, see “Risk Factors.”

Debt-to-Equity Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio

The following table presents the Company’s Debt-to-Equity ratio and Total Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	September 30, 2020	December 31, 2019
Debt-to-equity ratio⁽¹⁾	2.66x	2.84x
Total leverage ratio⁽²⁾	2.76x	2.93x

(1)	Represents (i) total outstanding borrowings under financing arrangements, net, including collateralized loan obligations, secured credit agreements, secured revolving credit agreements, and asset-specific financing agreements, less cash, to (ii) total stockholders’ equity, at period end.

(2)

Represents (i) total outstanding borrowings under financing arrangements, net, including collateralized loan obligations, secured credit agreements, secured revolving credit agreements and asset-specific financing agreements, plus non-consolidated senior interests sold or co-originated (if any), less cash, to (ii) total stockholders’ equity, at period end.

Floating Rate Portfolio

Our business model seeks to minimize our exposure to changing interest rates by match-indexing our assets using the same, or similar, benchmark indices, typically LIBOR. Accordingly, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income, subject to the beneficial impact of LIBOR floors in our mortgage loan investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2020, 100.0% of our loans by unpaid principal balance earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that require interest payments based on floating rates, which resulted in approximately $1.3 billion of net floating rate exposure that is positively correlated to rising interest rates, subject to the impact of interest rate floors on our floating rate loans. We had no fixed rate loans outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

Our liabilities are generally index-matched to each loan investment asset, resulting in a net exposure to movements in benchmark rates that vary based on the relative proportion of floating rate assets and liabilities. The following table details our loan portfolio’s net floating rate exposure as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

	Net Exposure
Floating rate assets⁽¹⁾	$	4,939,369
Floating rate debt⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾		(3,644,873	)
Net floating rate exposure	$	1,294,496

(1)	Floating rate mortgage loan assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR. The net exposure to the underlying benchmark interest rate is correlated to our assets indexed to the same rate.

(2)	Floating rate liabilities include secured credit agreements, collateralized loan obligations, secured revolving credit agreements, and asset-specific financings.

With the cessation of LIBOR expected to occur effective January 1, 2022, we continue to evaluate the documentation and control processes associated with our assets and liabilities to manage the transition away from LIBOR to an alternative rate endorsed by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve System. As the transition approaches, we will utilize required resources to ensure no disruption to our day-to-day operations. We will continue to employ prudent risk management as it relates to the potential financial, operational and legal risks associated with the expected cessation of LIBOR, and to ensure that our assets and liabilities generally remain match-indexed following this event.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $48.4 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $44.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of LIBOR floors with a weighted average strike price of 1.69% and a reduction in interest expense for the three months ending September 30, 2020 of $26.4 million as a result of a reduction in LIBOR and the absence of LIBOR floors on 92% of our borrowings as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2019.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is comprised of interest income earned on certain cash collection accounts, and miscellaneous fee income. Other revenue decreased by $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower overnight interest earned for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Other Expenses

Other expenses decreased $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Significant changes in other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 include:

•

a decrease of $2.1 million in incentive compensation earned by our Manager due to a reduction in our Core Earnings, resulting in no incentive compensation being earned by our Manager for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement; and

•

a decrease of $0.6 million in servicing and asset management fees due to decrease in the number of loans in the portfolio; offset by

•

an increase of $0.7 million in stock compensation expense due primarily to grants made in 2019; and

•

an increase of $0.2 million in professional fees of due primarily to an increase in legal, accounting and advisory fee expenses incurred in connection with our response to COVID-19.

We incurred total non-recurring expenses caused by COVID-19 of $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and none during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Credit Loss Expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, credit loss expense increased by $0.7 million primarily due a reserve on an individually assessed loan, offset in part by a quarter-over-quarter decline in unpaid principal balance against which our reserve for estimated credit losses is determined due to loan repayments and sales.

Dividends Declared Per Common Share

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we declared cash dividends of $0.20 per common share, or $15.4 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we declared cash dividends of $0.43 per common share, or $32.0 million.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $12.3 million, to $135.9 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was due the benefit of LIBOR floors with a weighted average strike price of 1.68%, and a reduction in interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 of $47.9 million as a result of a reduction in LIBOR and the absence of LIBOR floors on 92% of our borrowings, as compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2019.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is comprised of interest income earned on certain cash collection accounts, and miscellaneous fee income. Other revenue decreased by $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to lower overnight interest earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Significant changes in other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

•

an increase of $4.8 million in professional fees due primarily to an increase in legal, accounting and advisory fee expenses incurred in connection with our response to COVID-19, including period expenses incurred in connection with our issuance of Series B Preferred Stock; and

•

an increase of $2.3 million in stock compensation expense due primarily to grants made in 2019; offset by

•

a decrease of $5.5 million in incentive compensation earned by our Manager due to a reduction in our Core Earnings, resulting in no incentive compensation being earned by our Manager for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for details regarding our Management Agreement.

We incurred total non-recurring expenses caused by COVID-19 of $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and none during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Securities Impairments

Securities impairment expense of $203.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include losses on sales of CRE debt securities of $203.5 million, offset by a slight realized gain on sale of one position in connection with CRE debt securities owned at March 31, 2020. We had no such impairment expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Credit Loss Expense

Credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $53.5 million due to $39.7 million in credit loss expense recorded in accordance with ASU 2016-13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and a realized loss of $13.8 million on the sale of one loan.

Dividends Declared Per Common Share

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we declared cash dividends of $0.83 per common share, or $64.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we declared cash dividends of $1.29 per common share, or $95.6 million.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on CRE Debt Securities

Other comprehensive income (loss) decreased $4.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily related to the reversal of unrealized gains upon the sale of certain CRE debt securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization

We have capitalized our business to date through, among other things, the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock, issuance of preferred stock treated as temporary equity, issuance of common stock warrants, borrowings under secured credit agreements, collateralized loan obligations, asset-specific financings, and non-consolidated senior interests. As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding 76.8 million shares of our common stock representing $1.3 billion of stockholders’ equity, $225.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock and $3.6 billion of outstanding borrowings used to finance our operations.

See Notes 5 and 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our borrowings under secured credit agreements, collateralized loan obligations, and asset-specific financings. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase Common Stock.

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under secured credit agreements and capacity in our collateralized loan obligations available for reinvestment. Additionally, we have the option to issue up to $100.0 million of additional Series B Preferred Stock prior to December 31, 2020, provided notice is given to the Purchaser not later than December 11, 2020.

Our existing loan portfolio provides us with liquidity as loans are repaid or sold, in whole or in part, of which some proceeds may be included in accounts receivable from our servicers until released and the proceeds from such repayments become available for us to reinvest. Due to severe dislocation in the capital markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company expects the volume of loan repayments to be reduced in comparison to prior years. Loan repayments, measured by principal amount repaid, were $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion in 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, loan repayments totaled $520.3 million, and loan sales were $145.7 million.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our borrowers, their tenants, lenders and the economy as a whole. The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on our operations and liquidity, are uncertain and continue to evolve in the United States and globally. If the pandemic sustains its current trajectory, such impacts are expected to become material. To the extent that our borrowers, their tenants, and our lenders continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, or by the other risks disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, it would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

Uses of Liquidity

In the past, our primary use of liquidity was the origination of first mortgage loans, the purchase of CRE CLO debt securities, interest and principal payments under our $3.6 billion of outstanding borrowings under secured credit agreements, collateralized loan obligations, secured revolving credit agreements, and asset-specific financings, $514.0 million of unfunded loan commitments, dividend distributions to our preferred and common stockholders, and operating expenses.

As described above, each of our secured credit facilities has “margin maintenance” provisions, which are designed to allow the repurchase lender to maintain a certain margin of credit enhancement against the assets which serve as collateral. On May 28, 2020, we made voluntary deleveraging payments totaling $157.7 million to seven of our secured credit facility lenders that provide financing secured by certain of our first mortgage loan investments, in exchange for their agreement to suspend margin calls for defined periods, subject to certain conditions. At the time these payments were made, no margin deficits existed, and no margin calls have been issued to us since. If market turbulence persists or resurges, we may be required to post cash collateral in connection with our secured credit agreements secured by our mortgage loan investments upon or after the expiry of these agreements. For more information regarding the impact that COVID-19 has had on our liquidity and may have on our future liquidity, see “Risk Factors.”

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2020 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

			Payment Timing
	Total Obligation		Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		More than 5 Years
Unfunded loan commitments⁽¹⁾	$	513,969	$	114,871	$	399,098	$	—	$	—
Secured debt agreements—principal⁽²⁾		1,810,112		203,921		1,606,191		—		—
Collateralized loan obligations—principal⁽³⁾		1,834,761		—		635,417		1,199,344
Secured debt agreements—interest⁽⁴⁾		54,766		32,911		21,855		—		—
Collateralized loan obligations—interest⁽⁴⁾		94,011		29,620		51,430		12,959

Total	$	4,399,059	$	406,253	$	2,763,851	$	1,228,953	$	—

(1)	The allocation of our unfunded loan commitments is based on the earlier of the commitment expiration date and the loan maturity date.

(2)	The allocation of secured debt agreements is based on the extended maturity date for those credit facilities where extensions are at the company’s option, subject to no default, or the current maturity date of those facilities where extension options are subject to counterparty approval.

(3)	Collateralized loan obligation liabilities are based on the fully extended maturity of mortgage loan collateral, considering the reinvestment window of our collateralized loan obligation.

(4)

Amounts include the related future interest payment obligations, which are estimated by assuming the amounts outstanding under our secured debt agreements and collateralized loan obligations and the interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2020 will remain constant into the future. This is only an estimate, as actual amounts borrowed and rates will vary over time. Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.

(5)	Series B Preferred Stock dividends are computed at 11% per annum, with up to 2 percentage points payable in additional preferred stock at the discretion of the issuer.

With respect to our debt obligations that are contractually due within the next five years, we plan to employ several strategies to meet these obligations, including: (i) exercising maturity date extension options that exist in our current financing arrangements; (ii) negotiating extensions of terms with our providers of credit; (iii) periodically accessing the public and private equity and debt capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments or the repayment of indebtedness; (iv) the issuance of additional structured finance vehicles, such as a collateralized loan obligations similar to TRTX 2019-FL3 or TRTX 2018-FL2, as a method of financing; (v) term loans with private lenders; (vi) selling loans to generate cash to repay our debt obligations; and/or (vii) applying repayments from underlying loans to satisfy the debt obligations which they secure. Although many of these avenues have been available to us in the past, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to access any or all of these alternatives as a result of the continuing market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are required to pay our Manager a base management fee, an incentive fee, and reimbursements for certain expenses pursuant to our Management Agreement. The table above does not include the amounts payable to our Manager under our Management Agreement as they are not fixed and determinable. No incentive fee was earned by our Manager during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional terms and details of the fees payable under our Management Agreement.

As a REIT, we generally must distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to stockholders in the form of dividends to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e. dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. On May 4, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure that temporarily reduces (through the end of 2020) the minimum amount of the total distribution that must be paid in cash to 10%. Pursuant to these revenue procedures, we may elect to make future distributions of our taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash.

Our REIT taxable income does not necessarily equal our net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP or our Core Earnings as described above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $102.1 million primarily related to net interest income.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 cash flows from investing activities totaled $637.8 million primarily due to repayments on loans held for investment of $431.4 million, sale of CRE debt securities totaling $766.4 million and proceeds from sale of loans of $131.9 million, offset by new loan originations and purchases of CRE debt securities of $520.5 million and advances on loans of $171.4 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash flows used in financing activities totaled $594.1 million primarily due to payments on secured financing agreements of $1.6 billion and payment of dividends on our common stock, Series A and Series B Preferred Stock of $90.0 million, offset by additional proceeds from secured financing agreements of $908.5 million, and the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants of $225.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received margin call notices with respect to borrowings against our CRE CLO investment portfolio aggregating $170.9 million, which were satisfied with a combination of $89.8 million of cash, cash proceeds from bond sales, and increases in market values prior to quarter-end. At March 31, 2020, unpaid margin calls totaled $19.0 million, which were satisfied in April through cash proceeds from bond sales and increases in market value. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, prior to making our voluntary deleveraging payments, we satisfied one margin call aggregating $20.0 million in connection with our secured credit agreements financing our loan investments by pledging a previously unencumbered loan investment.

On May 28, 2020, we made voluntary deleveraging payments totaling $157.7 million to seven of our secured credit facility lenders that provide financing for certain of our first mortgage loan investments in exchange for their agreement to suspend margin calls for defined periods, subject to certain conditions. At the time these payments were made, no margin deficits existed, and no margin calls have been issued to us since. If market turbulence persists or resurges, we may be required to post cash collateral in connection with our secured credit agreements secured by our mortgage loan investments upon or after the expiry of these agreements. We maintain frequent dialogue with the lenders under our secured credit agreements regarding our management of their collateral assets in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information regarding the impact that COVID-19 has had on our liquidity and may have on our future liquidity, see “Risk Factors.”

Corporate Activities

Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

On May 28, 2020, we entered into an Investment Agreement with the Purchaser, an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global II, L.P., under which we agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser up to 13 million shares of the our 11.0% Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (plus any additional such shares paid as dividends pursuant to the Articles Supplementary, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 15 million shares (subject to adjustment) of our Common Stock, for an aggregate cash purchase price of up to $325.0 million. Such purchases may occur in up to three tranches. The Investment Agreement contains market standard provisions regarding board representation, voting agreements, rights to information, and a standstill agreement and registration rights agreement regarding common stock acquired via exercise of Warrants. The foregoing descriptions of the Investment Agreement and the various components are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Investment Agreement, the Articles Supplementary, the Warrant Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Amendments, which are attached as exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference.

On May 28, 2020, the Purchaser acquired the first tranche of the Investment Agreement, consisting of 9.0 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 12.0 million shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate price of $225.0 million. We, at our option, may sell to the Purchaser the second and third tranches on or prior to December 31, 2020. Each of the second and third tranches consists of 2.0 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million per tranche.

None of the Warrants were exercised as of September 30, 2020.

Details of this issuance have been described in Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Offering of Common Stock

On March 7, 2019, we and our Manager entered into an equity distribution agreement with each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, JMP Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and TPG Capital BD, LLC (each a “Sales Agent” and, collectively, the “Sales Agents”) relating to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to a continuous offering program. In accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, we may, at our discretion and from time to time, offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $125.0 million through the Sales Agents, each acting as our agent. The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of shares of our common stock subject to the equity distribution agreement having an aggregate gross sales price of $125.0 million and (2) the termination of the equity distribution agreement by the Sales Agents or us at any time as set forth in the equity distribution agreement. At June 30, 2020, cumulative gross proceeds issued under the equity distribution agreement totaled $50.9 million, leaving $74.1 million available for future issuance subject to the direction of management, and market conditions.

Each Sales Agent will be entitled to commissions in an amount not to exceed 1.75% of the gross sales prices of shares of our common stock sold through it, as our agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the we sold 0.6 million shares of common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement at a weighted average price per share of $20.53, generating gross proceeds of $12.9 million. We paid commissions totaling $0.2 million. No shares of common stock were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

On March 19, 2019, we completed a common stock offering of 6.0 million shares at a price to the underwriters of $19.80 per share, for net proceeds of $118.8 million, after underwriting discounts. Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement that we entered into with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the underwriters, on April 12, 2019, the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase 900,000 additional shares of common stock (the “Option Shares”). As a result, we issued and sold 900,000 Option Shares to the underwriters on April 16, 2019 and generated additional net proceeds, before transaction expenses, of approximately $17.4 million. The Manager reimbursed offering costs of $0.3 million. Proceeds from the offering were used to originate commercial mortgage loans and purchase CRE debt securities.

Dividends

Upon the approval of our Board of Directors, we accrue dividends. Dividends are paid first to the holders of our Series A preferred stock at the rate of 12.5% of the total $0.001 million liquidation preference per annum plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, then to holders of our Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of 11.0% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, and then to the holders of our common stock. We intend to distribute each year substantially all our taxable income to our stockholders to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Board of Directors will determine whether to pay future dividends, entirely in cash, or in a combination of stock and cash based on facts and circumstances at the time such decisions are made.

On September 15, 2020, our Board of Directors declared and approved a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.20 per share of common stock, or $15.4 million in the aggregate, which was paid on October 23, 2020 to holders of record of our common stock as of September 25, 2020.

On September 15, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.69 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, or $6.2 million in the aggregate, which was paid on September 30, 2020 to the holder of record of our Series B Preferred Stock as of September 15, 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, common stock and Class A common stock dividends in the amount of $64.1 million and $95.6 million, respectively, were declared and approved.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $15.4 million and $32.8 million, respectively, remain unpaid and are reflected in dividends payable on our consolidated balance sheets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, interest income and other revenue recognition, allowance for loan losses, expense recognition, tax liability, future impairment of our investments, valuation of our investment portfolio and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, among other items. Our management bases these estimates and judgments about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions and their effects on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses.

If conditions change from those expected, it is possible that our judgments, estimates and assumptions could change, which may result in a change in our interest income and other revenue recognition, allowance for loan losses, expense recognition, tax liability, future impairment of our investments, and valuation of our investment portfolio, among other effects. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are included in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions.

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Subsequent Events

The following events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2020:

Loan Default at Maturity

On October 9, 2020, a $112.0 million first mortgage loan reached final maturity without repayment or satisfaction of extension conditions, which triggered a maturity default. The loan was current with respect to payments of interest and principal immediately prior to the maturity default via a pre-funded interest reserve. Consequently, the Company has placed the loan on non-accrual status and declared the event of default. Additionally, the loan’s risk rating was downgraded to “5” from “4”. Management determined that the Company’s recovery of its loan principal is collateral-dependent. Accordingly, this loan was individually-assessed under ASU 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and a specific reserve for expected credit loss of $12.8 million was recorded using the discounted cash flow method of valuation. We are in discussions regarding the exercise of remedies, including without limitation, commencing a foreclosure or negotiating a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with the borrower. Refer to Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Secured Credit Facility

On October 30, 2020, we closed with a single institutional counterparty a new secured credit facility with a commitment amount and unpaid principal balance of $249.5 million. The new credit facility is secured by seven first mortgage loans, or participation interests therein. Proceeds from the new credit facility were used to directly refinance certain existing secured credit facility borrowings and to facilitate reinvestment in TRTX 2018-FL2 and TRTX 2019-FL3, ultimately retiring 100% of the Company’s mark-to-market borrowings related to its hotel loans. The new credit facility has a committed term of three years through October 30, 2023, a credit spread of 4.50%, a LIBOR floor of 0.25%, and contains no mark-to-market provisions that would trigger margin calls for two years from closing.

First Mortgage Loan Activity

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, we received repayment in full of four first mortgage loan investments with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $309.4 million, a weighted average spread of 281 basis points, and a weighted average floor of 1.86%. Net cash proceeds were $41.5 million after repayment of associated borrowings of $152.2 million, and $115.7 million of cash was received by TRTX 2019 FL-3 which is available for reinvestment in eligible loan investments.

(1)	First mortgage loans are whole mortgage loans unless otherwise noted. Loans numbered 59, 60, 61 and 63 represent 24% pari passu participation interests in whole mortgage loans.

(2)	Date loan was originated or acquired by us, which date has not been updated for subsequent loan modifications.

(3)	Represents unpaid principal balance net of unamortized costs.

(4)	Represents the formula pursuant to which our right to receive a cash coupon on a loan is determined.

(5)

In addition to credit spread, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees, purchase price premium and discount, loan origination costs and accrual of both extension and exit fees. All-in yield for the total portfolio assumes the applicable floating benchmark rate as of September 30, 2020 for weighted average calculations.

(6)

Extended maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower; provided, however, that our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of September 30, 2020, based on unpaid principal balance, 43.6% of our loans were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 56.4% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

(7)

Except for construction loans, LTV is calculated for loan originations and existing loans as the total outstanding principal balance of the loan or participation interest in a loan (plus any financing that is pari passu with or senior to such loan or participation interest) divided by the as-is real estate value at the time of origination or acquisition of such loan or participation interest. For construction loans only, LTV is calculated as the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the as-stabilized value of the real estate securing the loan. The as-is or as-stabilized (as applicable) value reflects our Manager’s estimates, at the time of origination or acquisition of the loan or participation interest in a loan, of the real estate value underlying such loan or participation interest determined in accordance with our Manager’s underwriting standards and consistent with third-party appraisals obtained by our Manager.

(8)	For a discussion of risk ratings, please see Notes 2 and 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

(9)	Represents the weighted average of the credit spread as of September 30, 2020 for the loans, all of which are floating rate.

(10)	Reflects the total loan amount, including non-consolidated senior interest, allocable to the property’s 135 hotel rooms. Excludes other improvements planned for the remainder of the project site.

(11)	This loan is comprised of a first mortgage loan of $106.3 million and a contiguous mezzanine loan of $93.7 million, of which we own both. Each loan carries the same interest rate.

(12)	Calculated as the ratio of unpaid principal balance as of September 30, 2020 to the as-is appraised value at origination, to reflect the sale by us in September 2020 of the contiguous mezzanine loan with an unpaid principal balance of $46.4 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our business model seeks to minimize our exposure to changing interest rates by matching duration of our assets and liabilities and match-indexing our assets using the same, or similar, benchmark indices, typically LIBOR. Accordingly, rising interest rates will generally increase our net interest income, while declining interest rates will generally decrease our net interest income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors embedded in substantially all of our loans. At September 30, 2020, the weighted average LIBOR floor for our loan portfolio was 1.69%. As of September 30, 2020, 100% of our loans by unpaid principal balance earned a floating rate of interest and were financed with liabilities that require interest payments based on floating rates. Approximately 95.8% of our liabilities do not contain LIBOR floors greater than zero. The result is an amount of net equity that is generally positively correlated to rising interest rates and falling interest rates.

The following table illustrates the impact on our interest income and interest expense, for the twelve-month period following September 30, 2020, of an immediate increase or decrease in the underlying benchmark interest rate of 25, 50 and 75 basis points on our existing floating rate mortgage loan portfolio and related liabilities (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Floating rate mortgage loan assets and liabilities are indexed to LIBOR.

(2)	Floating rate liabilities include secured revolving repurchase agreements, collateralized loan obligations, senior secured and secured credit agreements and asset-specific financings.

Credit Risk

Our loans are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and other investments depend upon the sponsors’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, the asset management team reviews our portfolio and maintains regular contact with borrowers, co-lenders and local market experts to monitor the performance of the underlying collateral, anticipate borrower, property and market issues and, to the extent necessary or appropriate, enforce our rights as the lender.

In addition, we are exposed to the risks generally associated with the commercial real estate market, including variances in occupancy rates, capitalization rates, absorption rates and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control. We seek to manage these risks through our underwriting and asset management processes.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings including margin calls, fund and maintain investments, pay dividends to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our liquidity risk is principally associated with our financing of longer-maturity investments with shorter-term borrowings in the form of secured revolving repurchase agreements. We are subject to “margin call” risk under our secured revolving repurchase agreements. In the event that the value of our assets pledged as collateral suddenly decreases as a result of changes in credit spreads or interest rates, margin calls relating to our secured revolving repurchase agreements could increase, causing an adverse change in our liquidity position. See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Needs” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding margin calls that we funded during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 in connection with secured revolving repurchase agreements used to finance our former investments in CRE debt securities. Additionally, if one or more of our secured revolving repurchase agreement counterparties chooses not to provide ongoing funding, we may be unable to replace the financing through other lenders on favorable terms or at all. As such, we provide no assurance that we will be able to roll over or replace our secured revolving repurchase agreements as they mature from time to time in the future. Prior to making our voluntary deleveraging payment during the second quarter of 2020, we satisfied one margin call aggregating $20.0 million in connection with our secured revolving repurchase agreements financing our loan investments by pledging a previously unencumbered loan investment. On May 28, 2020, we made voluntary deleveraging payments totaling $157.7 million to our six secured revolving repurchase lenders and one secured credit

facility lender in exchange for their agreement to suspend margin calls for defined periods, subject to certain conditions. At the time these payments were made, no margin deficits existed, and no margin calls have been issued to us since. If market turbulence persists, we may be required to post cash collateral in connection with our secured revolving repurchase agreements secured by our mortgage loan investments upon or after the expiry of these agreements. We maintain frequent dialogue with the lenders under our secured revolving repurchase agreements, and senior secured and secured credit agreements regarding our management of their collateral assets in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information regarding the impact that COVID-19 has had on our liquidity and may have on our future liquidity, see “Risk Factors.”

In some situations, we have in the past, and may in the future, be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity. Market disruptions may lead to a significant decline in transaction activity in all or a significant portion of the asset classes in which we invest and may at the same time lead to a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. A decline in market liquidity of real estate-related investments, as well as a lack of availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may make it more difficult to sell assets or determine their fair values. As a result, we may be unable to sell investments, or only be able to sell investments at a price that may be materially different from the fair values presented. Also, in such conditions, there is no guarantee that our borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available or, if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.

Prepayment Risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that principal will be repaid at a different rate than anticipated, causing the return on certain investments to be less than expected. As we receive prepayments of principal on our assets, any premiums paid on such assets are amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the assets. Conversely, discounts on such assets are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the assets.

Extension Risk

Our Manager computes the projected weighted average life of our assets based on assumptions regarding the rate at which the borrowers will prepay the mortgages or extend. If prepayment rates decrease in a rising interest rate environment or extension options are exercised, the life of our loan investments could extend beyond the term of the secured debt agreements. We expect that the economic and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 will lead to a decrease in prepayment rates and an increase in the number of our borrowers who exercise extension options. This could have a negative impact on our results of operations. In some situations, we may be forced to sell assets to maintain adequate liquidity, which could cause us to incur losses. For more information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the financial condition of our borrowers, see “Risk Factors.”

Capital Market Risk

We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under secured revolving repurchase agreements, collateralized loan obligations, senior secured and secured credit agreements, term loans, or other debt instruments or arrangements. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing and terms of capital we raise.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economies. These disruptions have contributed to significant and ongoing volatility, widening credit spreads and sharp declines in liquidity in the real estate securities markets. This capital markets environment has led to increased cost of funds and reduced availability of efficient debt capital, factors which have caused us to reduce our investment activity. We also anticipate that these conditions will adversely impact the ability of commercial property owners to service their debt and refinance their loans as they mature. For more information, see “Risk Factors.”

Counterparty Risk

The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents with, and obtain financing from, various financial institutions. This exposes us to the risk that these financial institutions may not fulfill their obligations to us under these various contractual arrangements. We mitigate this exposure by depositing our cash and cash equivalents and entering into financing agreements with high credit-quality institutions.

The nature of our loans and other investments also exposes us to the risk that our counterparties do not make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage this risk through a comprehensive credit analysis prior to making an investment and rigorous monitoring of the underlying collateral during the term of our investments.

Non-Performance Risk

In addition to the risks related to fluctuations in cash flows and asset values associated with movements in interest rates, there is also the risk of non-performance on floating rate assets. In the case of a significant increase in interest rates, the additional debt service payments due from our borrowers may strain the operating cash flows of the collateral real estate assets and, potentially, contribute to non-performance or, in severe cases, default. This risk is partially mitigated by various factors we consider during our underwriting and loan structuring process, including but not limited to, requiring substantially all of our borrowers, to purchase an interest rate cap contract for the term of our loan.

Loan Portfolio Value

We may in the future originate loans that earn a fixed rate of interest on unpaid principal balance. The value of fixed rate loans is sensitive to changes in interest rates. We generally hold all of our loans to maturity, and do not expect to realize gains or losses on any fixed rate loan we may hold in the future, as a result of movements in market interest rates during future periods.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses.

Currency Risk

We may in the future hold assets denominated in foreign currencies, which would expose us to foreign currency risk. As a result, a change in foreign currency exchange rates may have an adverse impact on the valuation of our assets, as well as our income and distributions. Any such changes in foreign currency exchange rates may impact the measurement of such assets or income for the purposes of our REIT tests and may affect the amounts available for payment of dividends on our common stock.

We intend to hedge any currency exposures in a prudent manner. However, our currency hedging strategies may not eliminate all of our currency risk due to, among other things, uncertainties in the timing and/or amount of payments received on the related investments and/or unequal, inaccurate or unavailability of hedges to perfectly offset changes in future exchange rates. Additionally, we may be required under certain circumstances to collateralize our currency hedges for the benefit of the hedge counterparty, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

We may hedge foreign currency exposure on certain investments in the future by entering into a series of forwards to fix the U.S. dollar amount of foreign currency denominated cash flows (interest income, rental income and principal payments) we expect to receive from any foreign currency denominated investments. Accordingly, the notional values and expiration dates of our foreign currency hedges would approximate the amounts and timing of future payments we expect to receive on the related investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2020, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings. See the “Litigation” section of Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal proceedings, which information is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and July 29, 2020.

The market and economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 have negatively impacted our business.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economies and has contributed to volatility, illiquidity and negative pressure in the financial markets. The COVID-19 outbreak has led governments and other authorities around the world to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The market and economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 have negatively impacted and could further negatively impact our business.

Real estate securities markets have experienced significant volatility, widening credit spreads and sharp declines in liquidity, which have negatively impacted our former CRE debt securities portfolio. This portfolio was pledged as collateral under daily mark-to-market secured revolving repurchase facilities. Fluctuations in the value of our CRE debt securities portfolio, including as a result of changes in credit spreads, resulted in us being required to post cash collateral with our lenders under these facilities. These fluctuations and requirements to post cash collateral were material. To mitigate the impact to our business from these developments, we sold during March and April 2020, all of our CRE debt securities. We recorded aggregate losses from these sales of $203.4 million. Although these losses will be available to offset certain capital gains that we may have now or in the future, these losses will not reduce the amount that we will be required to distribute under the requirement that we distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) each year in order to continue to qualify as a REIT.

Many jurisdictions are now open with social distancing measures implemented to curtail the spread of COVID-19, but we cannot predict the length of time that it will take for a meaningful economic recovery to take place. We also cannot predict whether or not these openings or lower temperatures in the fall and winter will lead to additional surges in new cases of COVID-19 such that governmental authorities decide to reimpose quarantines, lockdowns or travel restrictions, which could further materially and adversely affect our results and financial condition.

Measures that we have taken and may take in the future to maintain adequate liquidity have negatively impacted our business and may negatively impact our business in the future.

As discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, as a result of extreme short-term volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets, we funded during March and April 2020 margin calls aggregating $89.8 million. In order to mitigate the impacts to our business from these developments and to maintain adequate liquidity, we were forced to sell certain of our assets at an inopportune time. We realized a loss of $36.2 million in connection with such sales that occurred prior to April 1, 2020, and recorded an impairment charge at March 31, 2020 of $167.3 million. Realized losses incurred in April in connection with the divestiture of the entirety of our CRE debt securities portfolio were substantially the same as the impairment charge.

In May 2020, we made voluntary deleveraging payments to seven of our secured lenders who finance portions of our loan portfolio in exchange for, among other things, agreements by the lenders to refrain from making margin calls for defined periods, subject to certain conditions. There is no assurance that these agreements will not be terminated prior to their contractual maturity due to changes in the regulatory environment, breach of the agreement by one or more of the lenders, or other factors beyond our control.

If this turbulent market environment persists beyond the defined period of the margin holiday agreements referenced above, we may in the future be required to post additional cash collateral with our whole loan lenders. In such a situation, we may be forced to sell additional assets to maintain adequate liquidity. Market disruptions may lead to a significant decline in transaction activity in all or a significant portion of the asset classes in which we invest and may at the same time lead to a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. A decline in liquidity of real estate and real estate-related investments, as well as a lack of availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may make it more difficult to sell assets or determine their fair values. As a result, we may be unable to sell investments, or only be able to sell investments at a price that may be materially different from the fair values presented.

In order to maintain adequate liquidity, we have elected, and may continue to elect, to retain cash rather than deploying it into investments in income-producing assets. A reduction in the amount of our income-producing assets, including through asset sales, coupled with an increase in uninvested cash would result in diminished earning capacity for the Company and could materially and adversely affect us, our financial condition and our results of operations.

We expect that the economic and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 will adversely impact the financial condition of our borrowers and limit our ability to grow our business.

We expect that, over the near and long term, the economic and market disruptions caused by COVID-19 will adversely impact the financial condition of our borrowers. As a result, we anticipate that the number of borrowers who become delinquent or default on their loans may increase significantly. We have been contacted by certain of our borrowers who seek to defer the payment of principal and interest on certain of our loans. We have entered into modifications to existing loan agreements with several of our borrowers that, would permit borrowers to defer payment of some or all of the interest on their loans for a period, generally, of up to six months, and/or the reallocation of certain cash reserve balances within the loan structure for use in paying interest or operating expenses. In exchange, borrowers and sponsors will be required to provide us additional cash for payment of interest, operating expenses, replenishment of capital reserves. Except for customary nonrecourse carve-outs for certain actions and environmental liability, most commercial mortgage loans are nonrecourse obligations of the sponsor and borrower, meaning that there is no recourse against the assets of the borrower or sponsor other than the underlying collateral. A number of states are considering or have already implemented temporary moratoriums on the ability of lenders to initiate foreclosures, which could further limit our ability to foreclose and recover against our collateral, or pursue recourse claims (should they exist) against a borrower or sponsor in the event of a default.

We originate and acquire transitional loans, which provide interim financing to borrowers seeking short-term capital for the acquisition or transition (for example, lease up and/or rehabilitation) of commercial real estate. Market and economic disruptions caused by COVID-19, as well as measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19, have caused declines in leasing and other forms of commercial real estate economic activity, which will likely make it more difficult for our borrowers to successfully achieve the business plans for these properties, and we will bear the risk that we may not recover some or all of our investment. This risk may be heightened by the fact that we are not required to observe specific diversification criteria, which means that our investments may be concentrated in certain property types that are more adversely affected by COVID-19 than other property types. For example, as of September 30, 2020, certain of the loans in our loan portfolio are secured by hotels and retail properties. Federal and state mandates implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders, have and are likely to continue to negatively impact the hotel and retail industries, which could adversely affect our investments in assets secured by properties that operate in those industries. For more information on the concentration of credit risk in our loan portfolio by geographic region, property type and loan category, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Any future period of payment delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures or losses will likely adversely affect our net interest income from loans and CRE debt securities in our portfolio, may impair our ability to originate and acquire loans, and impede our ability to access the capital markets, which in each case would materially and adversely affect us. In addition, to the extent current conditions persist or worsen, we expect transaction volume and real estate values may decline, which will likely reduce the level of new mortgage and other real estate-related loan originations and may expose us to loan impairments. Such a reduction in origination activity would adversely affect our ability to grow our business and fully execute our investment strategy and could decrease our earnings and liquidity.

In the event that we assume, through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the ownership of property securing any of our loans and we decide to sell such property, the liquidation proceeds upon sale may not be sufficient to recover our cost basis in our loan, resulting in a loss to us. Furthermore, any costs or delays involved in the liquidation of the underlying property will further reduce the net proceeds and, thus, increase the loss. The incurrence of any such losses could materially and adversely affect us. We may also be subject to environmental liabilities arising from such properties. Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances released on its property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such

hazardous substances. If we assume ownership of any properties underlying our loans, the presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell the property and we may incur substantial remediation costs. As a result, the discovery of material environmental liabilities attached to such properties could materially and adversely affect us.

Our ability to make distributions to our stockholders has and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19.

We are generally required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gain and without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) each year for us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, which requirement we have historically satisfied through quarterly distributions of all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income in such year, subject to certain adjustments. However, in light of the negative impact on our liquidity caused by the recent economic and market turmoil resulting from COVID-19, in March 2020 we announced the deferral of the payment of our previously authorized cash dividend for the first quarter of 2020 to July 2020, which was subsequently paid on July 14, 2020 to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2020.

Despite the Company’s issuance on May 28, 2020 of $225.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock, COVID-19 induced uncertainty regarding the future state of the real estate capital markets, and operating performance of commercial real estate, means that no assurance can be given that we will be able to make distributions to our stockholders at any time in the future, or that the level of any distributions we do make to our stockholders will achieve a market yield, or increase or even be maintained over time.

Additionally, in 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs (i.e., REITs required to file annual and periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act) to make elective cash/stock dividends (i.e., dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. On May 4, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure that temporarily reduces (through the end of 2020) the minimum amount of the total distribution that must be paid in cash to 10%. Pursuant to these revenue procedures, we may elect to make future distributions of our taxable income in a mixture of our common stock and cash. Taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of the distribution as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, stockholders may be required to pay income taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of cash received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the common stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sale proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to certain non-U.S. stockholders, we or the applicable withholding agent may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in common stock. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

Market disruptions caused by COVID-19 have made it more difficult for us to determine the fair value of our investments.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, market-based inputs are generally the preferred source of values for purposes of measuring the fair value of our assets under GAAP. The commercial property investment sales market, and the commercial mortgage loan and CRE debt securities markets, have and continue to experience extreme volatility, reduced transaction volume and liquidity, and disruption as a result of COVID-19, which has made it more difficult to rely on market-based inputs in connection with the valuation of our assets under GAAP. In the absence of market inputs, GAAP permits the use of management assumptions to measure fair value. However, the considerable market volatility and disruption caused by COVID-19 and the considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact and duration of the pandemic have made it more difficult for our management to formulate assumptions to measure the fair value of our assets.

As a result of these developments, measuring the fair value of our assets has become much more difficult. The fair value of certain of our investments may fluctuate over short periods of time, and our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these investments existed. The value of our common stock could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of these investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon their disposal. Additionally, our results of operations for a given period could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of investments treated as available-for-sale or trading assets were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon their disposal.

We have experienced a decline in the fair value of our CRE Debt Securities investments as a result of COVID-19, which could materially and adversely affect us.

As of March 31, 2020, we did not have the intent to hold certain of our CRE debt securities to maturity. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $167.3 million in addition to the $36.2 million of loss on sales realized in the three months ended March 31, 2020. This impairment charge was fully realized in April 2020 in connection with the sale of the remainder of our CRE debt securities portfolio.

Negative impacts on our business caused by COVID-19 may cause us to default on certain financial covenants contained in our financing arrangements.

Our current financing arrangements contain covenants that include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum liquidity, minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt to equity ratio, limitations on capital expenditures, indebtedness, distributions, transactions with affiliates and maintenance of positive net income as defined in the agreements. Additionally, the agreements governing our Series B Preferred Stock include a financial covenant that imposes a maximum debt-to-equity ratio. For a description of certain of the covenants, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Covenants for Outstanding Borrowings.”

Historically, we have remained in compliance with the covenants in our financing arrangements. However, as of March 31, 2020, we were not in compliance with respect to the debt-to-equity ratio covenant included in certain of these agreements. This non-compliance was cured on April 2, 2020 when we utilized proceeds from sales of certain CRE debt securities to repay outstanding borrowings under the related secured revolving repurchase agreements. We received waivers from the lender under each of the applicable agreements on May 8, 2020.

The agreements also include a covenant that obligates us to deliver certain audited financial statements for Holdco to the lenders within 90 days, or 120 days, after each December 31. We were not in compliance with respect to this covenant as of March 31, 2020. This non-compliance was cured on May 7, 2020. We received waivers from the lender under each of the applicable agreements on May 8, 2020.

Negative impacts on our business caused by COVID-19 have and will likely continue to make it more difficult to meet or satisfy these covenants, and we cannot assure you that we will remain in compliance with these covenants in the future. If we fail to meet or satisfy any of these covenants in our financing arrangements and are unable to obtain a waiver or other suitable relief from the lenders, we would be in default under these agreements, which could result in a cross-default or cross-acceleration under other financing arrangements, and our lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable (or such amounts may automatically become due and payable), terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their respective interests against existing collateral. A default also could significantly limit our financing alternatives, which could cause us to curtail our investment activities or dispose of assets when we otherwise would not choose to do so. Further, this could make it difficult for us to satisfy the requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a default on any of our debt agreements, and in particular our secured revolving repurchase agreements (since a significant portion of our assets are or will be, as the case may be, financed thereunder), could materially and adversely affect us.

Measures intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have disrupted our ability to operate our business.

In response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the federal and state mandates implemented to control its spread, all personnel of TPG provided to our Manager are working remotely. If the TPG personnel provided to our Manager are unable to work effectively as a result of COVID-19, including because of illness, quarantines, office closures, ineffective remote work arrangements or technology failures or limitations, our operations would be adversely impacted. Further, remote work arrangements may increase the risk of cybersecurity incidents and cyber-attacks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, due to, among other things, the loss of investor or proprietary data, interruptions or delays in the operation of our business and damage to our reputation.

Social, political, and economic instability, unrest, and other circumstances beyond our control could adversely affect our business operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by social, political, and economic instability, unrest, or disruption, including protests, demonstrations, strikes, riots, civil disturbance, disobedience, insurrection and looting in geographic regions where the properties securing our investments are located. Such events may result in property damage and destruction and in restrictions, curfews, or other governmental actions that could give rise to significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles, which may adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

There have been demonstrations and protests, some of which involved violence, looting, arson and property destruction, in cities throughout the U.S., including Atlanta, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York City, Minneapolis and Portland, as well as globally, including in Hong Kong. While protests have been peaceful in many locations, looting, vandalism and fires have taken place in cities, which led to the imposition of mandatory curfews and, in some locations, deployment of the U.S. National Guard. Governmental actions taken to protect people and property, including curfews and restrictions on business operations, may disrupt operations, harm perceptions of personal well-being and increase the need for additional expenditures on security resources. The effect and duration of the demonstrations, protests or other factors is uncertain, and we cannot assure there will not be further political or social unrest in the future or that there will not be other events that could lead to further social, political and economic instability. If such events or disruptions persist for a prolonged period of time, our overall business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or the market price of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, may also have potential to materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
