(1)Unfunded commitments will primarily be funded to finance our borrowers’ construction or development of real estate-related assets, capital improvements of existing assets, or lease-related expenditures. These commitments will generally be funded over the term of each loan, subject in certain cases to an expiration date.
(2)The weighted-average cash coupon and all-in yield are expressed as a spread over the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include SOFR, USD LIBOR, SONIA, EURIBOR, and other indices, as applicable to each loan. As of December 31, 2023 99% of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to SOFR, and the remaining 1% of our loans earned a fixed rate of interest. As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of our loans by principal balance earned a floating rate of interest, primarily indexed to SOFR and USD LIBOR. Floating rate exposure as of December 31, 2023 includes an interest rate swap we entered into with a notional amount of $229.9 million that effectively converts certain of our fixed rate loan exposure to floating rate exposure. In addition to cash coupon, all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination and extension fees, loan origination costs, and purchase discounts, as well as the accrual of exit fees. Excludes loans accounted for under the cost-recovery method.
(3)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date. As of December 31, 2023, 14% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 86% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty. As of December 31, 2022, 50% of our loans by principal balance were subject to yield maintenance or other prepayment restrictions and 50% were open to repayment by the borrower without penalty.

Loan Risk Ratings         
As further described in Note 2, we evaluate our loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with our quarterly loan portfolio review, we assess the risk factors of each loan, and assign a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, risk of loss, origination LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship. Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2.

Current Expected Credit Loss Reserve
The CECL reserves required under GAAP reflect our current estimate of potential credit losses related to the loans included in our consolidated balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an aggregate increase of $250.8 million in the CECL reserves against our loans receivable portfolio, bringing our total loans receivable CECL reserve to $576.9 million as of December 31, 2023. These CECL reserves reflect certain impaired loans in our portfolio, as well as an additional increase in our CECL reserves due to macroeconomic conditions.
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an aggregate net increase of $95.1 million in the asset-specific CECL reserve related to our impaired loans. The increase was primarily driven by three additional loans that were impaired during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the income accrual was suspended on these loans as recovery of income and principal was doubtful. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $5.9 million of interest income on these three loans.
As of December 31, 2023, we had an aggregate $417.7 million asset-specific CECL reserve related to 13 of our loans receivable, with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $1.9 billion, net of cost-recovery proceeds. This CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan's underlying collateral as of December 31, 2023. No income was recorded on our impaired loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired. As of December 31, 2023, one of these loans with an amortized cost basis of $140.0 million, was past its current maturity date. This loan was less than 30 days past due on its interest payment and had a risk rating of “5”. As of December 31, 2023, all other borrowers were compliant with the contractual terms of each respective loan, including any required payment of interest. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received an aggregate $53.0 million of cash proceeds from such loans that were applied as a reduction to the amortized cost basis of each respective loan. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of our policies on revenue recognition and our CECL reserves.
As of December 31, 2022, we had a $189.8 million CECL reserve specifically related to five of our loans receivable, with an amortized cost basis of $929.1 million. This CECL reserve was recorded based on our estimation of the fair value of each of the loan’s underlying collateral as of December 31, 2022.
Our primary credit quality indicator is our risk ratings, which are further discussed above. The following tables present the net book value of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, by year of origination, investment pool, and risk rating ($ in thousands):

Loan Modifications Pursuant to ASC 326
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we entered into five loan modifications that require disclosure pursuant to ASC 326. Four of these loans were collateralized by office assets and one was collateralized by a hospitality asset.
Three of the loan modifications included other-than-insignificant payment delays, specifically the option to pay interest in-kind. For one of the loans the maximum maturity date was extended by one year, the borrower contributed $2.0 million of additional reserves, and the interest rate increased by 5.11%. The second modification included an additional 4.00% exit fee. The third modification included an additional 2.00% exit fee and the interest rate increased by 2.00%. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amortized cost basis of these loans was $546.3 million, or 2.3% of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate $10.0 million of unfunded commitments. The loans were performing pursuant to their contractual terms as of December 31, 2023, had risk ratings of “5” as of December 31, 2023, and have asset-specific CECL reserves.
The other two loan modifications included a combination of changes to the contractual terms of the loans, including term extensions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, and/or interest rate reductions. The first loan modification included a term extension of 19 months, a rate reduction of 2.74% and conversion to fixed rate, with a portion of the interest paid in-kind. The borrower repaid $4.9 million of the loan at the time of modification, with an additional $2.5 million of repayment due during the initial maturity period. The second loan modification included a term extension of 4.5 years, a rate increase of 8.50% with interest paid in-kind, a borrower contribution of $2.0 million of additional reserves, and a $50.0 million increase in our total loan commitment. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amortized cost basis of these loans was $434.5 million, or 1.8% of our aggregate loans receivable portfolio, with an aggregate $40.0 million of unfunded commitments. The loans were performing pursuant to their contractual terms as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, one of these loans had a risk rating of “4”, and its modified terms were included in the determination of our general CECL reserve, and the other loan had a risk rating of “5” and has an asset-specific CECL reserve.
Loan modifications that allow the option to pay interest in-kind increase our potential economics and the size of our secured claim, as interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance for applicable loans. As of December 31, 2023, all of our loans with a risk rating of “5” are accounted for using the cost-recovery method and no income has been recorded on such loans subsequent to determining that they were impaired.
Multifamily Joint Venture
As discussed in Note 2, we entered into a Multifamily Joint Venture in April 2017. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our Multifamily Joint Venture held $612.9 million and $795.6 million of loans, respectively, which are included in the loan disclosures above. Refer to Note 2 for additional discussion of our Multifamily Joint Venture.
