Master Repurchase and Secured Lending Agreements

On November 3, 2025, LCMT Warehouse, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Uncommitted Master Repurchase Agreement ("Repurchase Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.. The Repurchase Agreement provides up to $450 million to finance first mortgage loans, controlling loan participations and other commercial mortgage loan debt instruments secured by commercial real estate, as described in more detail in the Repurchase Agreement. Advances under the Repurchase Agreement accrue interest at per annum rates equal to term SOFR plus a spread to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The initial maturity date of the Repurchase Agreement is November 3, 2028, with two (2) one-year extensions at the Company's option, which may be exercised upon the satisfaction of certain conditions as described in more detail in the Repurchase Agreement. Under the Guarantee Agreement ("Guarantee Agreement") made by LFT in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are on a partial (25%) recourse basis. The Repurchase Agreement contains defined mark-to-market provisions that permit the lender to issue margin calls based on credit marks.

The Repurchase Agreement and Guarantee Agreement contain affirmative and negative covenants binding the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to: minimum asset coverage ratio, minimum unencumbered assets ratio, maximum total net leverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth, and an interest charge coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with covenants, except for the maximum total net leverage ratio with respect to the period ended March 31, 2026. On May 14, 2026, the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association entered into an amendment to the Guarantee Agreement which waived the maximum total net leverage ratio covenant for the period ended March 31, 2026.

The Repurchase Agreement contains events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts when due, violation of covenants, cross default with material indebtedness, and change of control.

On December 10, 2025, LCMT NPL Warehouse, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Northeast Bank. The Loan Agreement provides for up to $50 million in maximum aggregate advances over a 36-month draw period to finance first mortgage loans and controlling first mortgage loan participations secured by commercial real estate. Each collateral loan financed under the Loan Agreement will be classified as a performing or non-performing loan, as described in more detail in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides financing for commercial REO properties, with related REO entities joining as borrowers under the Loan Agreement from time to time, as described in more detail in the Loan Agreement.
