Alpine Income Property Trust. Pursuant to the Company’s management agreement with PINE, the Company generates a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of PINE’s total equity (as defined in the management agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The structure of the base fee provides the Company with an opportunity for the base fee to grow should PINE’s independent board members determine to raise additional equity capital in the future. The Company also has an opportunity to achieve additional cash flows as manager of PINE pursuant an annual incentive fee based on PINE’s total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. PINE would pay the Company an incentive fee with respect to each annual measurement period in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was earned for the year ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company earned management fee revenue from PINE totaling $3.8 million, $3.2 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. Dividend income for the years ended December

31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 totaled $2.3 million, $2.1 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, PINE exercised its right, pursuant to an Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement between the Company and PINE (the “ROFO Agreement”), to purchase one single-tenant income property from the Company for a purchase price of $6.9 million, which sale was completed on January 7, 2022.

In connection with the sale of the CMBS Portfolio, PINE assumed the related $30.0 million mortgage note payable which resulted in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million due to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Land JV. Prior to the Land JV Sale on December 10, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement for the Land JV, the initial amount of the management fee was $20,000 per month. The management fee was evaluated quarterly and as land sales occurred in the Land JV, the basis for the Company’s management fee was reduced as the management fee was based on the value of real property that remained in the Land JV. The monthly management fee as of December 31, 2021 was $10,000 per month. As a result of the Land JV Sale, no management fee revenues pertaining to the Land JV were earned during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company earned management fee revenue from the Land JV totaling $0.1 million, $0.2 million, respectively.
