Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Actively deploying capital raised from the December 2025 rights offering to expand the loan portfolio and target middle-market transitional commercial real estate lending opportunities where traditional bank lenders have pulled back.

Strategically reducing exposure to the office sector by capitalizing on loan repayments and focusing new originations on more resilient commercial real estate asset classes.
Expected impact: Successfully reduced office sector exposure to approximately 20% of the portfolio in mid-2026, down from 27% at the end of 2024 and 40% in mid-2025, thereby strengthening overall credit quality.
