Commitments and Contingencies

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded Commitments—The Company generally funds construction and development loans and build-outs of space in real estate assets over a period of time if and when the borrowers and tenants meet established milestones and other performance criteria. The Company refers to these arrangements as Performance-Based Commitments. In addition, the Company has committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These arrangements are referred to as Strategic Investments.

As of June 30, 2021, the maximum amount of fundings the Company may be required to make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones are met under the Performance-Based Commitments and that 100% of its capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows ($ in thousands):

(1)The lease liability equals the present value of the minimum rental payments due under the lease discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate for similar collateral. For operating leases, lease liabilities were discounted at the Company’s weighted average incremental secured borrowing rate for similar collateral estimated to be 5.1% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 7.8 years. The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases, excluding operating leases for which the Company’s tenants pay rent on its behalf, was 5.1 years and the weighted average discount rate was 5.0%. For finance leases, which relate primarily to the Company’s Ground Leases with SAFE, lease liabilities were discounted at a weighted average rate implicit in the lease of 5.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 96.5 years. Right-of-use assets for finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and are recorded in “Depreciation and amortization” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in "Interest expense" and $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in "Depreciation and amortization" in its consolidated statement of operations relating to finance leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $4.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, in "Interest expense" and $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in "Depreciation and amortization" in its consolidated statement of operations relating to finance leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company made payments of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to its operating leases and $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to its finance leases with SAFE. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company made payments of $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to its operating leases and $2.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, related to its finance leases with SAFE.
(2)The Company is obligated to pay ground rent under certain operating leases; however, the Company’s tenants at the properties pay this expense directly under the terms of various subleases and these amounts are excluded from lease obligations. The amount shown above is the net present value of the payments to be made by the Company’s tenants on its behalf.

Legal Proceedings—The Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is party to various pending litigation matters that are considered ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business as a finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry, including foreclosure-related proceedings. The Company believes it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
