NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS

The transaction accounting adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information:

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025

(a)Reflects the Company’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, which was included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2025.

(b)Reflects the Company’s historical financial position related to First Western as of September 30, 2025, except for certain of the pro forma adjustments described below that are a direct result of the transaction.

Distributions in excess of earnings

(c)Reflects the net cash proceeds from the sale of First Western, as of September 30, 2025, net of the transaction costs directly attributable to the sale. Such net proceeds are also reduced by (i) the repayment of First Western’s credit facility secured by certain of its loans receivable (the “Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility”), together with all accrued interest as of the balance sheet date, (ii) severance costs incurred as a result of the transaction, (iii) certain estimated federal and state tax liabilities resulting from the transaction, and (iv) the payment of accrued expense reimbursements due to CIM Group entities as of the balance sheet date. These pro forma adjustments do not include any adjustment related to the unrestricted cash balance of First Western, as this cash is assumed to be retained by the Company following the disposition.

(d)Reflects debt, net of deferred financing costs, associated with First Western included in the Transactions, as well as the Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility, which is assumed to be repaid in conjunction with the Transactions.

(e)Reflects the excess of net cash proceeds from the sale of First Western over the carrying value, as of September 30, 2025, of the assets net of liabilities of First Western as well as the loss on early extinguishment of debt associated with the assumed repayment of the Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility. This amount has not been reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations as it is considered to be nonrecurring in nature.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and the Year Ended December 31, 2024.

(a)Reflects the historical unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which were included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025.

(b)Reflects the Company’s historical results of operations related to First Western for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except the pro forma adjustments described below that are a direct result of the transaction.

Asset management and other fees to related parties

(c)For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of the Transactions would result in a decrease in the Base Fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $32,000, resulting from an assumed reduction in the average of the Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders for the period.

(d)For the year ended December 31, 2024, the impact of the Transactions would result in a decrease in the Base Fee for the year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $42,000, resulting from an assumed reduction in the average of the Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders for the period.
