Note 12—Equity

Common Stock—As of March 31, 2025, the Company has one class of common stock outstanding.

In April 2023, the Company and Portfolio Holdings entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Primary Sales Agreement”) with the sales agents named therein pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $300.0 million (the “Primary Shares”) through or to the sales agents. The Company may sell the Primary Shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time but has no obligation to sell any of the Primary Shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a

variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of its funding. Through March 31, 2025, the Company has not sold any shares of its common stock through the Primary Sales Agreement.

On February 4, 2025, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company has no obligation to repurchase additional shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. Repurchases may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Any repurchased shares will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not repurchased any of its outstanding common stock.

Equity PlansThe Company has a Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”), originally adopted by iStar’s board of directors and approved by iStar’s stockholders in 2021, designed to provide incentive compensation for officers, key employees, directors and advisors of the Company. The LTIP provides for awards of stock options, shares of restricted stock, phantom shares, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other share-based performance awards. All awards under the LTIP are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Grants under the LTIP are recognized as compensation costs ratably over the applicable vesting period and recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In May 2024, the Company issued an aggregate 32,300 shares of its common stock with a grant date fair value of $20.78 per share to its directors that vest after one year in consideration for their annual service as directors. In addition, in May 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase to the LTIP of 1,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2025, an aggregate of 806,054 shares of the Company’s common stock remains available for issuance under the LTIP. As of March 31, 2025, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting/service period of 1.9 years.

Caret Performance Incentive PlanThe Company has a Caret performance incentive plan pursuant to which Caret units of Portfolio Holdings are reserved for grants of performance-based awards to participants, including certain officers, key employees, directors and service providers (the “Caret Performance Incentive Plan”). As of March 31, 2025, all outstanding Caret units awarded under the Caret Performance Incentive Plan are fully vested except for grants awarded in connection with the Merger to executive officers and other employees, which are subject to cliff vesting on March 31, 2027 if the Company’s common stock has traded at an average per share price of $60.00 or more for at least 30 consecutive trading days since the grant date, and certain awards granted to a former employee that vest in December 2025, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2025, there was $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested Caret units that is expected to be recognized over a remaining vesting/service period of 2.0 years.

As of March 31, 2025, Caret Performance Incentive Plan participants held 1,371,254 Caret units, representing 14.4% of the outstanding Caret units and 11.4% of the authorized Caret units, and 128,746 Caret units remain available for issuance under the Caret Performance Incentive Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of expense from Caret units, which is recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and “Noncontrolling interests” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

401(K) Plan—The Company has a savings and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is a voluntary, defined contribution plan. All employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan following completion of three months of

continuous service with the Company. Each participant may contribute on a pretax basis up to the maximum percentage of compensation and dollar amount permissible under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code not to exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(k), 404 and 415. At the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company may make matching contributions on the participant’s behalf of up to 50% of the participant’s contributions, up to a maximum of 10% of the participants’ compensation. The Company made gross contributions of $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s derivative transactions.

Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests includes unrelated third-party equity interests in ventures that are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and Caret units that have been sold to third-parties or have been granted to employees or former employees. See also “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests” in Note 3.

Dividends—The Company (then known as iStar) elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the REIT. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company declared cash dividends on its common stock of $12.7 million, or $0.177 per share, and $12.7 million, or $0.177 per share, respectively.
