The Company accounts for its interests in the unconsolidated real estate ventures, which range from 5% to 78%, using the equity method. Certain of the unconsolidated real estate ventures are subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash, including cash from operations and cash from capital events, such as sales of properties. The Company earned management fees from the unconsolidated real estate ventures of $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $5.9 million and $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company earned leasing commissions from the unconsolidated real estate ventures of $0.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.7 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(a)Excludes amounts related to the Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC and the New MAP Venture as the Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting. The Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting on the Herndon Innovation Center Metro Portfolio Venture, LLC after March 31, 2024 and the New MAP Venture after June 30, 2024. (b)Represents other-than-temporary impairment on investment in an unconsolidated joint venture due to a decline in fair value below the carrying value of our investments in the unconsolidated joint venture for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Mid-Atlantic Office Venture On August 9, 2024 as part of a loan restructuring for the Mid-Atlantic Office Venture which included forgiveness of $39.8 million of the Venture's debt, the Company funded its $4.1 million portion of a lender pay down for the venture. Brandywine’s contribution is an equity method investment in the Mid-Atlantic Office JV. The Company recorded the contribution to Investment in unconsolidated real estate ventures on the consolidated balance sheet. The Mid-Atlantic Office Venture has liquidation rights and priorities that are different from ownership percentages. As such, equity in earnings is determined using the hypothetical liquidation book value (“HLBV”) method. Income or loss is recorded based on changes in what would be received should the entity liquidate all of its assets (as valued in accordance with GAAP) and distribute the resulting proceeds based on the terms of the respective agreements. The HLBV method is a balance sheet focused approach commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. Commerce Square Venture On August 26, 2024, the Company agreed to fund and has subsequently funded, in November 2024, an additional $23 million common equity contribution to the Commerce Square Venture, the proceeds from which will be used by the Commerce Square Venture to pay down the preferred equity position of the Company’s current partner in the Commerce Square Venture, thereby increasing a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in the Commerce Square Venture to 84%. In connection with the Company’s funding agreement, the Commerce Square Venture recorded impairment charges of $116.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 based on the excess of the carrying value of the properties over their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is considered Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820 and was based upon the third party appraisal. 4040 Wilson Venture During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, our partner elected to acquire our 50% ownership interest in the 4040 Wilson Venture based on an agreed upon property valuation of $190.5M. As a result, the Company recognized an other than temporary impairment loss on its investment in the unconsolidated joint ventures of $6.8 million. Original MAP Venture and New MAP Venture On June 28, 2024, the Company recapitalized one of its unconsolidated real estate ventures, referred to as the “Original MAP Venture,” in which the Company had a negative investment balance of $52.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and a 50% ownership interest. Through the recapitalization, the Original MAP Venture transferred, for $26.0 million, 14 of the 57 properties in which it held ground lease interests to a newly-formed real estate venture, referred to below as the “KB JV,” owned equally between the Company and the ground lessor of the land on which all of the 57 properties are situated. The Original MAP Venture used substantially all of the proceeds it received from the transfer of the 14 properties to pay down its non-recourse mortgage loan to $154.6 million. Through the recapitalization of the Original MAP Venture, the Company redeemed the entire interest of its former partner in the Original MAP Venture for a nominal amount and reversed the Company’s negative investment balance to zero, resulting in a one-time, non-cash gain of $53.8 million. The non-recourse mortgage loan was amended as part of the pay-down, and, as amended, has a scheduled maturity date of March 1, 2027 (subject to mandatory pay downs as properties that remain owned by the New MAP Venture are sold), bears interest at SOFR plus 2.75% and provides the lender with a 95% entitlement to residual cash from operations and capital proceeds, if any, after the mortgage loan has been repaid and after all obligations to the ground lessor and other third parties have been satisfied. Pursuant to the amended loan, t he Company has agreed to fund up to $12 million for tenant and capital improvements pursuant to leases that the Company proposes, in its discretion, to enter into at the properties owned by the New MAP Venture, which amounts, when funded, will accrue interest at 8.0% per annum.As of June 30, 2024, the Company's investment in the New MAP Venture was zero, and the Company discontinued applying the equity method of accounting on the New MAP Venture. The Company has not guaranteed any of the obligations of the New MAP Venture or otherwise committed to funding any future losses. KB JV As discussed above under “Original MAP Venture and New MAP Venture,” on June 28, 2024, the Company formed a new joint venture, KB JV, LLC (the "KB JV"), which acquired leasehold interests in 14 properties from the Original MAP Venture for $26.0 million. The 14 properties owned by the KB JV contain of an aggregate of 641,819 net rentable square feet and are located in Richmond, Virginia. The Company owns a 50% equity interest in the KB JV and the portfolio assets are unencumbered by third party debt. In connection with the formation of KB JV, KB JV loaned $13.0 million to the Company to fund a portion of the purchase of the 14 properties. The loan from KB JV is classified as “Unsecured term loan, net” on the consolidated balance sheet. If the properties owned by the KB JV are sold, the fee owner of the properties, has agreed to cause both the leasehold and fee interests in the portfolio to be sold.
