Organization ​ Ready Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “Ready Capital” and together with its subsidiaries “we,” “us” and “our”), is a Maryland corporation. The Company is a multi-strategy real estate finance company that originates, acquires, finances and services small to medium balance commercial (“SBC”) loans, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, residential mortgage loans, construction loans, and to a lesser extent, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) collateralized primarily by SBC loans, or other real estate-related investments. SBC loans represent a special category of commercial loans, sharing both commercial and residential loan characteristics. SBC loans are generally secured by first mortgages on commercial properties, but because SBC loans are also often accompanied by collateralization of personal assets and subordinate lien positions, aspects of residential mortgage credit analysis are utilized in the underwriting process. ​ The Company is externally managed and advised by Waterfall Asset Management, LLC (“Waterfall” or the “Manager”), an investment advisor registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, as amended. ​ Sutherland Partners, L.P. (the “operating partnership”) holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company owned approximately 98.5% and 99.6% of the operating partnership, respectively. The Company, as sole general partner of the operating partnership, has responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the operating partnership, and the limited partners of the operating partnership, in such capacity, have no authority to transact business for, or participate in the management activities of the operating partnership. Therefore, the Company consolidates the operating partnership. ​ Acquisitions ​ Mosaic. On March 16, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2021, as amended on February 7, 2022, the Company acquired, in a series of mergers (collectively, the “Mosaic Mergers”), a group of privately held, real estate structured finance opportunities funds, with a focus on construction lending (collectively, the “Mosaic Funds”), managed by MREC Management, LLC. ​ As consideration for the Mosaic Mergers, each former investor was entitled to receive an equal number of shares of each of Class B-1 Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B-1 Common Stock”), Class B-2 Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B-2 Common Stock”) Class B-3 Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B-3 Common Stock”), and Class B-4 Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B-4 Common Stock” and, together with the Class B-1 Common Stock, the Class B-2 Common Stock and the Class B-3 Common Stock, the “Class B Common Stock”), of Ready Capital, contingent equity rights (“CERs”) representing the potential right to receive shares of Common Stock as of the end of the three-year period following the closing date of the Mosaic Mergers based upon the performance of the assets acquired by Ready Capital pursuant to the Mosaic Mergers, and cash consideration in lieu of any fractional shares of Class B Common Stock. ​ The Class B Common Stock ranked equally with the common stock, except that the shares of Class B Common Stock were not listed on the New York Stock Exchange. On May 11, 2022, each issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into an equal number of shares of Common Stock, and as such, no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding. ​ The CERs are contractual rights and do not represent any equity or ownership interest in Ready Capital or any of its affiliates. If any shares of common stock are issued in settlement of the CERs, each former investor will also be entitled to receive a number of additional shares of common stock equal to (i) the amount of any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to the number of whole shares of common stock received in respect of CERs and having a record date on or after the closing date of the Mergers and a payment date prior to the issuance date of such shares of common stock, divided by (ii) the greater of (a) the average of the volume weighted average prices of one share of common stock over the ten trading days preceding the determination date and (b) the most recently reported book value per share of common stock as of the determination date. The acquisition further expanded the Company’s investment portfolio and origination platform to include a diverse portfolio of construction assets with attractive portfolio yields. Refer to Note 5 for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger. ​ Red Stone. On July 31, 2021, the Company acquired Red Stone and its affiliates (“Red Stone”), a privately owned real estate finance and investment company that provides innovative financial products and services to multifamily affordable housing, in exchange for an initial purchase price of approximately $63 million paid in cash, retention payments to key executives aggregating $7 million in cash and 128,533 shares of common stock of the Company issued to Red Stone executives under the 2012 Plan. Refer to Note 21 – Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity for more information on the 2012 Plan. Additional purchase price payments may be made over the next three years if the Red Stone business achieves certain hurdles. The acquisition of Red Stone supported a significant growth opportunity for the Company by expanding presence in a sector with otherwise low correlation to our assets. Part of the Company’s strategy in acquiring Red Stone included the value of the anticipated synergies arising from the acquisition and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify for recognition as an intangible asset. Refer to Note 5 for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger. ​ Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation. On March 19, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation (“Anworth”), through a merger of Anworth with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for approximately 16.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and approximately $60.6 million in cash (“Anworth Merger”). In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 6, 2020 (the “Anworth Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, RC Merger Subsidiary, LLC and Anworth, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued was based on an exchange ratio of 0.1688 per share plus $0.61 in cash. The total purchase price for the merger of $417.9 million consists of the Company’s common stock issued in exchange for shares of Anworth common stock and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of the Company’s common stock, which was based on a price of $14.28 of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date, and $0.61 in cash per share. ​ In addition, in connection with the Anworth merger, the Company issued 1,919,378 shares of newly designated 8.625% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 779,743 shares of newly designated 6.25% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and 2,010,278 shares of newly designated 7.625% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), in exchange for all shares of Anworth’s 8.625% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, 6.25% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 7.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock outstanding prior to the effective time of the Anworth Merger. On July 15, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, in each case at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the redemption date. ​ Upon the closing of the transaction and after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock as consideration in the merger, the Company’s historical stockholders owned approximately 77% of the combined Company’s outstanding common stock, while historical Anworth stockholders owned approximately 23% of the combined Company’s outstanding common stock. Refer to Note 5 for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger. ​ The acquisition of Anworth increased the Company’s equity capitalization, supported continued growth of the Company’s platform and execution of the Company’s strategy, and provided the Company with improved scale, liquidity and capital alternatives, including additional borrowing capacity. Also, the stockholder base resulting from the acquisition of Anworth enhanced the trading volume and liquidity for our stockholders. In addition, part of our strategy in acquiring Anworth was to manage the liquidation and runoff of certain assets within the Anworth portfolio and repay certain indebtedness on the Anworth portfolio following the completion of the Anworth Merger, and to redeploy the capital into opportunities in our core SBC strategies and other assets we expect will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns and long-term earnings accretion. Consistent with this strategy, as of June 30, 2022, the Company has liquidated approximately $2.1 billion of assets, primarily consisting of agency residential mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government or by federally sponsored enterprises, and repaid approximately $1.8 billion of indebtedness on the Anworth portfolio. ​ ​ In addition, concurrently with entering into the Anworth Merger Agreement, we, the operating partnership and the Manager entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which, upon the closing of the Anworth Merger, the Manager’s base management fee will be reduced by $1,000,000 per quarter for each of the first full four quarters following the effective time of the Anworth Merger (the “Temporary Fee Reduction”). Other than the Temporary Fee Reduction set forth in the Amendment, the terms of the Management Agreement remain the same. ​ REIT Status ​ The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), commencing with its first taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company distributes dividends equal to at least 90% of its taxable income in the form of distributions to shareholders.
