ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JULY 16, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Terra Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held as a “virtual meeting” via live webcast on July 16, 2024 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via a live audio webcast by visiting www.meetnow.global/M49792H. This proxy statement and the accompanying materials are being made available on or about April 26, 2024, to stockholders of record and are available at https://www.proxy-direct.com/ter-33892.

Except as otherwise specified herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to Terra Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries, the term “shares” refers to shares of our Class B Common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and the term “stockholders” refers to holders of our Class B Common Stock.

Where and when will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held as a “virtual meeting” via live webcast on July 16, 2024 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via a live audio webcast by visiting www.meetnow.global/M49792H. Log on to the webcast with your control number (the 14-digit control number found in the shaded box of your proxy card).

What are the proxy materials and why have I received them?

Pursuant to the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have provided access to our “proxy materials,” which include this Proxy Statement, our form of proxy card and our annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2023, over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy

1

Materials (the “Notice”) to our holders of record of our Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on April 19, 2024 (the “Record Date”). We believe that posting these materials on the Internet enables us to provide stockholders with the information that they need more quickly. It also lowers our costs of printing and delivering these materials and reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. The Notice contains instructions for your use in this process, including how to access our proxy materials over the Internet, how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials, and how to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, the Notice will be sent directly to you and you may vote your shares online during the Annual Meeting or by proxy. If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, it is very important that your shares be represented and voted online during the virtual meeting. You may authorize your proxy to vote your shares over the Internet or by telephone as described in the Notice and proxy card. Alternatively, if you received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, please complete, date, sign and promptly return the proxy card in the self-addressed stamped envelope provided. If you authorize a proxy over the Internet, by mail or by telephone prior to the Annual Meeting, you may nevertheless revoke your proxy and cast your vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting.

If you hold shares in “street name” through a broker or other financial institution, the Notice was forwarded to you by such intermediary, and you must follow the instructions provided by your broker or other financial institution regarding how to instruct your broker or financial institution to vote your shares.

Our proxy materials are being furnished to you, as a holder of shares, because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement contains information that stockholders should consider before voting on the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

What am I voting on?

There are two proposals scheduled to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting:

•

Proposal 1:   Election of six director nominees listed herein; and

•

Proposal 2:   Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Dissenters’ rights are not applicable to matters being voted upon.

2

What is the required vote for approval of each proposal?

Proposal 1:   Election of six director nominees listed herein. A plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, virtually via webcast or by proxy, is required for the election of each nominee for director. Each share entitles the holder thereof to vote for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the holder is entitled to vote. However, stockholders may not cumulate their votes. With plurality voting, the director nominees who receive the most “for” votes are elected to the Board until all Board seats are filled. In an uncontested election, where the number of nominees and available Board seats are equal (as is the case with our company), every director nominee is elected upon receiving just one “for” vote. If you vote “Withhold Authority” with respect to a director nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to such nominee. Because directors are elected by a plurality of all votes cast, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

Proposal 2:   Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm the year ending December 31, 2024. A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, virtually via webcast or by proxy, is required for the auditor ratification proposal. Abstentions, if any, will not affect the outcome of this proposal. Your shares may be voted on for this proposal if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

•

FOR the election of each of the six director nominees listed herein; and

•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Who can vote?

Holders of record of our shares of our common stock as of the close of business on April 19, 2024 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the virtual Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 24,336,423.83 shares of our Class B Common Stock outstanding. You are entitled to one vote for each share you held as of the Record Date.

How do I vote if I am a registered stockholder?

If you are a registered stockholder, you may authorize a proxy to vote your shares in any of the following ways described below, or in person by attending the virtual Annual Meeting:

3

•

via the Internet by going to the website listed on your proxy card and following the on-screen directions (please see “How can I authorize a proxy to vote over the Internet or by telephone?” below for more information);

•

by touch-tone by calling the toll-free number listed on your proxy card and following the recorded instructions (please see “How can I authorize a proxy to vote over the Internet or by telephone?” below for more information);

•

by mail by marking, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card; or

•

in person by virtually attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.

If you authorize a proxy by telephone or Internet, you do not need to mail your proxy card. See the proxy card for more instructions on how to vote your shares.

All proxies that are properly executed and received by our Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to return your proxy card or submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet to assure the representation of your shares at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote if I hold my shares in “street name”?

If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. You must contact the bank or broker who holds your shares to obtain your legal proxy. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, three (3) business days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. Requests for registration should be directed to us by emailing an image of your legal proxy to shareholdermeetings@computershare.com.

How can I authorize a proxy to vote over the Internet or by telephone?

Internet.   To authorize a proxy to vote electronically via the Internet, go to the website listed on your proxy card and follow the instructions. Please have your proxy card in hand when accessing the website, as it contains a 14-digit control number and 8-digit security code, which are required to record your voting instructions via the Internet.

4

Phone.   If you have access to a touch-tone telephone, you may authorize your proxy by dialing the toll-free number listed on your proxy card and following the recorded instructions. You will need the 14-digit control number and 8-digit security code included on your proxy card in order to record your voting instructions by telephone.

You can authorize a proxy to vote via the Internet or by telephone at any time prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 15, 2024, the day before the Annual Meeting.

What if I return my proxy but do not mark it to show how I am voting?

If you submit a signed proxy without indicating your vote on any matter, the designated proxies will affirmatively vote to elect all six director nominees as directors and to approve the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

What if other matters come up at the Annual Meeting?

At the date this Proxy Statement went to print, we did not know of any matters to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I authorize my proxy?

Yes.   You can change your vote by taking any of the following actions:

•

executing or authorizing, dating and delivering to us a new proxy with a later date that is received prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 15, 2024 (the day immediately prior to the date of the Annual Meeting);

•

authorizing a proxy again via the Internet or by telephone at a later time before the closing of those voting facilities at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 15, 2024 (the day immediately prior to the date of the Annual Meeting);

•

sending a written statement revoking your proxy card to our Secretary, provided such statement is received no later than July 15, 2024 (the day immediately prior to the date of the Annual Meeting); or

•

virtually attending the Annual Meeting, revoking your proxy and voting your shares.

5

Your virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy previously authorized by you. We will honor the proxy card or authorization with the latest date. Proxy revocation notices should be sent to: Terra Property Trust, Inc., 205 West 28th Street, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10001, Attention: Secretary. New paper proxy cards should be sent to: Terra Property Trust, Inc., c/o Proxy Tabulator, PO Box 43132, Providence RI, 02940-9434.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders, which allows stockholders to more easily attend the Annual Meeting without incurring travel costs or other inconveniences. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, you will need the control number included in your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompany your proxy materials.

If you are a stockholder of record, you will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via a live audio webcast by visiting www.meetnow.global/M49792H, which provides our stockholders rights and opportunities to vote and ask questions equivalent to in-person meetings of stockholders. Log on to the webcast with your control number (the 14-digit control number found in the shaded box of your proxy card). The Annual Meeting will convene at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 16, 2024.

Can I vote my shares in person at the virtual Annual Meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date and prefer to vote your shares at the virtual Annual Meeting, you may do so. Even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we encourage you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares in advance by Internet, telephone or mail as described in the Notice and herein so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

What constitutes a quorum?

We will convene the Annual Meeting if stockholders representing the required quorum of shares of our common stock entitled to vote either sign and return their paper proxy cards, authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically or attend the virtual Annual Meeting. The presence, either virtually in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting of at least fifty percent (50%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any matter will constitute a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the Chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting to a date not more than 120 days from the original Record Date for the Annual Meeting without notice other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your

6

paper proxy card or authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the proxy materials. Abstentions will also be considered present for the purpose of determining whether we have a quorum.

Who will count the votes?

Votes cast by proxy or virtually in person at the virtual Annual Meeting will be tabulated by an appointed inspector of election.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and then disclose the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting.

How can I get additional copies of this Proxy Statement relating to this solicitation?

You may obtain additional copies of this Proxy Statement by writing to Terra Property Trust, Inc., 205 West 28th Street, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10001, Attention: Secretary.

All costs and expenses associated with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting, including preparing these proxy materials, will be borne by us.

We have hired Computershare Fund Services to assist us in the distribution of our proxy materials and for the solicitation of proxy votes.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

Risk Oversight and Board Structure

We operate under the direction of the Board. The Board has retained our Manager to manage our business and affairs, subject to the supervision of the Board. The Board currently consists of six members. Our bylaws provide that a majority of the entire Board may at any time increase or decrease the number of directors. However, the number of directors may never be less than the minimum number required by the MGCL (which is currently one) nor, unless our bylaws are amended, more than 15.

The Board has determined that each of our directors, except for Vikram S. Uppal, the Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, satisfies the listing standards for independence of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) the applicable rules of the SEC. We refer herein to directors who satisfy such independence standards as our “independent directors.” The written charter of the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) requires all members of the Audit Committee to be “independent directors” in accordance with the criteria set forth in such charter.

In considering each director and the composition of the Board as a whole, the Board seeks a diverse group of experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills, including diversity in gender, ethnicity and race, which the Board believes enables a director to make a significant contribution to our company, the Board and our stockholders. These experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills include, but are not limited to, management experience, independence, financial expertise and experience serving as directors or directors of other entities. The Board believes that directors who possess these experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills are better able to provide oversight of our management and our long-term and strategic objectives. The Board may also consider such other experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills as it deems appropriate, given the then-current needs of our company and the Board.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Through its direct oversight role, and indirectly through its committees, the Board performs a risk oversight function for us consisting of, among other things, the following activities:

(1)

at regular and special Board meetings, and on an ad hoc basis as needed, receiving and reviewing reports related to our performance and operations;

(2)

reviewing and approving, as applicable, our compliance policies and procedures;

13

(3)

meeting with the portfolio management team to review investment strategies, techniques and the processes used to manage related risks; and

(4)

meeting with, or reviewing reports prepared by, the representatives of key service providers, including the Manager, transfer agent and independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss our activities and to provide direction with respect thereto.

Board Composition and Leadership Structure

The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to perform its oversight function effectively. A majority of our directors are independent directors.

Mr. Uppal, who is not an independent director, serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer and as Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that Mr. Uppal, as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, is the director with the most knowledge of our business strategy and is best situated to serve as Chairman of the Board.

The Board, after considering various factors, has concluded that combining the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions is the appropriate leadership structure for our company at this time. The Board is of the view that “one-size” does not fit all, the evidence does not demonstrate that any one leadership structure is more effective at creating long-term stockholder value and the decision of whether to combine or separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman will vary company to company and depend upon a company’s particular circumstances at a given point in time. Accordingly, the Board carefully considers from time to time whether the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions should be combined based on what the Board believes is best for our company and our stockholders. The Board does not have a lead independent director.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board met eleven times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. We do not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of our stockholders, but invite and encourage all directors to attend. We make every effort to schedule our annual meeting of stockholders at a time and date to permit attendance by directors, taking into account the directors’ schedules and the timing requirements of applicable law. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board in 2023.

Committees of the Board

The entire Board is responsible for supervising our business. However, pursuant to our bylaws, the Board may appoint from among its members, and

14

delegate certain of its powers to, such committees as deemed appropriate by the Board. Members of each such committee are appointed by the Board.

The Board has established one standing committee of the Board, the Audit Committee. The Board has not established a standing compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us. The Board, as a whole, participates in the consideration of director compensation and decisions on director compensation are based on, among other things, a review of data of comparable companies. The Board has not established a standing nominating committee because the entire Board participates in the consideration of director nominees.

Audit Committee

We have established an Audit Committee that operates pursuant to a written charter. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, engaging and supervising our independent accountants, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with our independent accountants, approving professional services provided by our independent accountants (including compensation therefor), reviewing the independence of our independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of three members, including a chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee Members are Messrs. Beless, Evans and Goldenberg, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Evans serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Evans is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Beless, Evans and Goldenberg are “financially literate” under the rules of the NYSE.

The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Audit Committee’s charter is available on our website at www.terrapropertytrust.com.

Communications between Stockholders and the Board

The Board welcomes communications from our stockholders. Stockholders may send communications to the Board or to any particular director to the following address: Terra Property Trust, Inc., 205 West 28th Street, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10001. Stockholders should indicate clearly the director or directors to whom the communication is being sent so that each communication may be forwarded directly to the appropriate director(s).

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Executive Officer Compensation

We are externally managed and currently have no employees. Pursuant to the management agreement with our Manager (as amended, the “Management Agreement”), our Manager provides certain services to our company, and we pay fees associated with such services. The officers of our Manager do not receive any compensation from us. Each of our officers is an employee of our Manager. Because our Management Agreement provides that our Manager is responsible for managing our affairs, our officers do not receive cash compensation from us for serving as our officers.

Our Manager is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations and all matters affecting our business and affairs, including responsibility for determining when to buy and sell real estate-related assets. Our Manager is not obligated under the Management Agreement to dedicate any of its personnel exclusively to us, nor is it or its personnel obligated to dedicate any specific portion of its or their time to the business. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, we reimburse our Manager for operating expenses incurred in connection with services provided to us, including our allowable share of our Manager’s overhead, such as rent, employee costs, utilities and technology costs. Our officers, in their capacities as officers or personnel of our Manager or its affiliates, will devote such portion of their time to our affairs as is necessary to enable us to operate our business.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

Related Party Transaction Policy

The Board recognizes that transactions with related parties present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). The Board has adopted written policies and procedures on transactions with related parties (the “Related Party Transaction Policy”) that is in conformity with the requirements for NYSE-listed companies. The Related Party Transaction Policy covers transactions or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) with any (a) person who is an executive officer, director or director nominee, (b) person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or (c) immediate family members of any of the foregoing, where (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we are a participant, and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Pursuant to the policy, the Board or a committee appointed by the Board consisting solely of disinterested directors will consider all relevant factors, including, as applicable, (i) our business rationale for entering into the transaction, (ii) the available alternatives to the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to or from third parties, (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to us.

The Management Agreement

We are externally managed by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. Our Manager is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and a subsidiary of Terra Capital Partners, our sponsor.

Term and Termination Rights

On March 11, 2024, we and our Manager entered into an amendment to the Management Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2024 (the “Amendment”), in order to extend the term of the Management Agreement and modify the terms upon which the Management Agreement may be terminated. Except as discussed below, the terms of the Management Agreement remain unchanged by the Amendment.

The term of the Management Agreement will expire on December 31, 2027 (the “Initial Term”) and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of additional one-year terms upon each anniversary date of the last day of the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless terminated by us or the Manager during the Initial Term or a Renewal Term in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement as described below.

The Management Agreement may be terminated by us during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term upon a finding by either (i) at least two-thirds of the independent directors on the Board or (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock (other than those shares held by members of the our senior management team or affiliates of our Manager) that either (a) there has been unsatisfactory performance by our Manager that is materially detrimental to us, or (b) the compensation payable to our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement is unfair; provided, however, that we will not have the right to terminate the Management Agreement on the basis of unfair compensation to our Manager if our Manager agrees to continue to provide its services under the Management Agreement in exchange for reduced fees that at least two-thirds of the independent directors on the Board determine to be fair pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Management Agreement. We must deliver prior written notice of any such termination to our Manager at least 180 days prior to the last calendar day of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, and the Management Agreement will terminate effective as of the last calendar day of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable.

Upon any termination of the Management Agreement by us as discussed above, we will pay our Manager, on the date on which such termination is effective, a termination fee in an amount equal to three times the average annual fees of all types and expense reimbursements received by or owed to our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement during the 24-month period immediately preceding such termination (the “Termination Fee”), calculated as of the end of the most recently completed monthly prior to the date of such termination.

We may also terminate the Management Agreement, effective upon 30 calendar days’ prior written notice from the Board to our Manager, without

25

payment of any Termination Fees or other penalties, upon (i) the material breach of the Management Agreement by our Manager or its affiliates that continues for 30 days after written notice thereof to our Manager (or 45 days after delivery of written notice thereof if our Manager takes diligent steps to cure such breach within 30 days of delivery of the written notice), (ii) any fraud or other criminal conduct, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty by our Manager or its affiliates in connection with the Management Agreement, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) our Manager’s bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution, or (iv) an Internalization Event (as defined in the Management Agreement). No Termination Fee or other penalty is payable upon such a termination by us.

Our Manager may terminate the Management Agreement, effective upon 60 days’ prior written from our Manager to us, if we breach the Management Agreement and such breach continues for 30 days after written notice thereof. We will pay our Manager the Termination Fee upon such termination by our Manager.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we paid our Manager origination and extension fees of $2,312,656.

Our Manager may temporarily or permanently waive or defer all or a portion of the fees discussed above. Any portion of a deferred fee payable to our Manager and not paid to our Manager with respect to any period shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in any subsequent period prior to the termination of the Management Agreement, as our Manager may determine upon written notice to us. Any fees payable to our Manager for any partial month or calendar quarter will be appropriately prorated.

Our Manager may use its own employees or employees of any affiliate of our Manager to provide accounting, tax, data processing, engineering, market research or other professional services to us that would otherwise be performed by third parties and, in such event, we will reimburse our Manager for the cost of performing such services. Such reimbursements may include employment costs and related overhead expenses allocable thereto (including rent, utilities, and technology costs), as reasonably determined by our Manager based on the time expended by the employees who render such services, provided that no such reimbursement shall exceed the amount that would be payable by us if the services were provided in an arms-length transaction with an independent third party.

Indemnification of our Manager

Pursuant to the Management Agreement with our Manager, we will indemnify and hold harmless our Manager and its affiliates from any loss incurred by such parties in connection with our business, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any amounts expended in the settlement of any claims of loss or damage resulting from any act or omission performed or omitted in good faith; provided that we will not provide such indemnification in connection with acts by our Manager of its affiliate which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Further, we will not indemnify our Manager or its affiliates for liability incurred in connection with any claim arising out of a violation of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities law, with respect to the offer and sale of our securities.

Co-Invest Loan Extension

As of December 31, 2023, the Promissory Note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,844,797, the largest principal balance outstanding during 2023. During 2023, we earned $115,062 of interest income on the Promissory Note; no principal amount of the Promissory Note was paid during 2023. As of today, the Promissory Note has an outstanding principal balance of $8,741,117.

Transfer of Preferred Equity Investment

On January 19, 2024, we entered into a participation agreement with a separately managed account (the “SMA”), a third-party investor managed by our Manager, to transfer to the SMA $15.0 million of a certain $18.5 million preferred equity investment held by Terra Income Fund 6, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Terra LLC”), our wholly owned subsidiary. Our Manager is managed by, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Terra Capital Partners. Mr. Uppal, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, controls Mavik, the sole member of Terra Capital Partners. For additional information on our participation agreements, please see the “Participation Agreements” section below.

Cost Sharing and Reimbursement Agreement

We have entered into a cost sharing and reimbursement agreement with Terra LLC effective October 1, 2022, pursuant to which Terra LLC will be responsible for its allocable share of our expenses, including fees paid by us to our Manager based on relative assets under management. These fees are eliminated in consolidation and therefore have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Participation Agreements

We have further diversified our exposure to loans and borrowers, and investments and investees, by entering into participation agreements whereby we transferred a portion of certain of our loans and investments on a pari passu basis to related parties, primarily other affiliated funds managed by our Manager or its affiliates, and to a lesser extent, unrelated parties. In connection with the Merger, the obligations under participation agreements with Terra BDC totaling $37.0 million were effectively extinguished. As of December 31, 2023, there was no participation obligation.

The loans and investments that are subject to participation agreements are held in our name, but each of the participant’s rights and obligations, including with respect to interest income and other income (e.g., exit fee, prepayment income) and related fees/expenses (e.g., disposition fees, asset management and asset servicing fees), are based upon their respective pro rata participation interest in such participated investments, as specified in the

29

respective participation agreements. We do not have direct liability to a participant with respect to the underlying loan and the participants’ share of the investments is repayable only from the proceeds received from the related borrower/issuer of the investments and, therefore, the participants also are subject to credit risk (i.e., risk of default by the underlying borrower/issuer).

Pursuant to the participation agreement with these entities, we receive and allocate the interest income and other related investment income to the participants based on their respective pro rata participation interest. The affiliated fund participant pays related expenses also based on their respective pro rata participation interest (i.e., asset management and asset servicing fees, disposition fees) directly to our Manager.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the weighted average outstanding principal balance on obligations under participation agreements and secured borrowing was approximately $10.0 million, and the weighted average interest rate was approximately 17.4%.

Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Officers

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers (the “Indemnification Agreements”). The Indemnification Agreements provide that we will, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law, and advance expenses to, each such indemnitee, in connection with, among other things, the indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of ours. This obligation includes, subject to certain terms and conditions, indemnification for any expenses, including judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, claim, demand or discovery request or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding. In certain instances, we may be required to advance such expenses, in which case the indemnitee will be obligated to reimburse us for the amounts advanced if it is later determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and has directed that the appointment of such independent registered public accounting firm be submitted for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. KPMG LLP has served as our auditor since 2016.

We have been advised by KPMG LLP that neither that firm nor any of its associates has any relationship with us or our subsidiaries other than the usual relationship that exists between an independent registered public accounting firm and its clients.

We expect that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the virtual Annual Meeting where they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our charter or otherwise. Even if the appointment is ratified, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Set forth in the table below are the fees billed to us by KPMG LLP for professional services performed for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

​	For The Year Ended December 31, 2023			For The Year Ended December 31, 2022
Audit fees(a)	​	$	771,000	​	$	621,000
Audit-related fees(b)	​	​	—	​	​	—
Tax fees(c)	​	$	76,200	​	$	59,990
All other fees(d)	​	​	—	​	​	—
Total	​	$	847,200	​	$	680,990

(a)

Audit Fees.   Audit fees include fees for services that normally would be provided by KPMG in connection with statutory and regulatory filings

31

or engagements and that generally only an independent accountant can provide. In addition to fees for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, this category contains fees for comfort letters, statutory audits, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

(b)

Audit-Related Fees.   Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

(c)

Tax Services Fees.   Tax services fees consist of fees billed for professional tax services. These services also include assistance regarding federal, state, and local tax compliance.

(d)

All Other Fees.   Other fees would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

The Audit Committee was advised that there were no services provided by KPMG LLP that were unrelated to the audit of the annual fiscal year-end financial statements and the review of interim financial statements that could impair KPMG LLP from maintaining its independence as our independent auditor and concluded that it was.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee’s charter provides that the Audit Committee will review and pre-approve the engagement fees and the terms of all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided by our external auditors and evaluate the effect thereof on the independence of the external auditors. All audit and tax services provided to us were reviewed and pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

VOTING RECOMMENDATION

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Audit Committee carries out oversight functions with respect to the preparation, review and audit of our financial statements, our system of internal controls and the qualifications, independence and performance of our internal auditor consultants and independent auditors, and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, as appropriate, replace our independent auditors.

Our management is responsible for the development, maintenance and evaluation of internal controls and procedures and our financial reporting system, the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies and the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee the foregoing functions.

The Audit Committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2023 and related matters. Management advised the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and our independent auditors, KPMG LLP. Our independent auditors presented to and reviewed with the Audit Committee the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. Our independent auditors also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter from the auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and in connection therewith, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their views as to the auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed, among other things, the audit and non-audit services performed by, and the amount of fees paid for such services to, KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee meetings regularly include executive sessions with our independent registered public accounting firm without the presence of our management.

In undertaking its oversight function, the Audit Committee relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the

33

financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on our financial statements. The Audit Committee is not, however, professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and does not provide any expert or other special assurance or professional opinion as to the sufficiency of the external audits, whether our financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or on the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

Based on the Audit Committee’s considerations, discussions with management and discussion with the independent auditors as described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board:

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING

If you wish to submit a stockholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and proxy card for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, your proposal must be received by our Secretary on or before December 27, 2024. Your proposal should be mailed by certified mail return receipt requested to our Secretary at Terra Property Trust, Inc., 205 West 28th Street, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10001. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received. In addition, if you desire to bring business (including director nominations) before our 2025 Annual Meeting, you must comply with our bylaws, which currently require that you provide written notice of such business to our Secretary no earlier than November 27, 2024 and no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 27, 2024. However, if the 2025 Annual Meeting is advanced or delayed more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. For additional requirements, stockholders should refer to our bylaws, Article II, Section 11, “Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees for Director and Other Stockholder Proposals,” a current copy of which may be obtained from our Secretary.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than May 17, 2025.

DELIVERY OF MATERIALS

In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to our stockholders, we are, except as described below, furnishing proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2023 Annual Report to stockholders, by providing access to these documents on the Internet. Accordingly, on or about April 26, 2024, the Notice will be sent to our beneficial owners of Class B Common Stock. The Notice provides instructions for accessing our proxy materials on the Internet and instructions for receiving printed copies of the proxy materials without charge by mail or electronically by email. Please follow the instructions included in the Notice.

The Notice provides you with instructions regarding the following: (1) viewing our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet;

35

(2) voting your shares after you have viewed our proxy materials; (3) requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials; and (4) instructing us to send our future proxy materials to you. We believe the delivery options allow us to provide our stockholders with the proxy materials they need, while lowering the cost of the delivery of the materials and reducing the environmental impact of printing and mailing. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email with instructions containing a link to view those proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Stockholder of Record.   If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and you will be sent the proxy materials by mail.

Beneficial Owner.   If your shares are held in an account at an intermediary (bank or broker), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.

36

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address and same last name by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and reduced printing and delivery costs for companies. A single proxy statement and annual report may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or you submit contrary instructions. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive a separate notice or, if they request paper copies, a separate proxy card, and will remain entitled to vote their individual shares separately. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding, please notify your broker or financial advisor. Stockholders who share an address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, upon written or oral request, we will deliver a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of such documents was previously delivered.

OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

Our management does not know of any other matters to come before the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matters do come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons designated as proxies to vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters.

MISCELLANEOUS

A COPY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K (AS FILED WITH THE SEC), WHICH CONTAINS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT US, IS AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER. REQUESTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO OUR SECRETARY AT 205 WEST 28TH STREET, 12TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001.
