Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2010
5.875% Senior Notes due 2012
6.300% Senior Notes due 2017


          The Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2010 (the "2010 floating rate notes") were issued in exchange for the Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2010 originally issued on May 10, 2007. The 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 (the "2012 fixed rate notes") were issued in exchange for the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 originally issued on May 10, 2007. The 6.300% Senior Notes due 2017 (the "2017 fixed rate notes") were issued in exchange for the 6.300% Senior Notes due 2017 originally issued on May 10, 2007. In this prospectus, we refer to the 2012 fixed rate notes and the 2017 fixed rate notes collectively as the "fixed rate notes" and to the fixed rate notes and the 2010 floating rate notes collectively as the "notes."

          Interest on the 2010 floating rate notes is payable quarterly on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10 of each year. Interest on the fixed rate notes is payable semi-annually on May 10 and November 10 of each year. The 2010 floating rate notes will mature on May 10, 2010, the 2012 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10, 2012 and the 2017 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10, 2017. The 2010 floating rate notes are not redeemable prior to November 10, 2008. Following that date we may redeem some or all of the 2010 floating rate notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. We may redeem some or all of the fixed rate notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices described in this prospectus. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we will be required to give you the opportunity to sell us your notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

          The notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to our subordinated indebtedness. The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries as further described in this prospectus. These guarantees are unsecured and rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors. The notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other liability of any of our subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors. Secured debt incurred by us or a subsidiary guarantor is effectively senior to the notes and the guarantees to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt.


          See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 25 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before investing in the notes.

SUMMARY

          The following is a summary of information contained in this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read this entire prospectus, including the audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, before making an investment decision. As used in this prospectus, the terms "Capmark," "our company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Capmark Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated group, except in the discussion under the headings "Description of Other Indebtedness," "Description of the Notes" and in other places where it is clear that the terms mean only Capmark Financial Group Inc. For an explanation of certain terms appearing in this prospectus that are commonly used in the commercial real estate finance industry, see "Glossary of Industry Terms" beginning on page A-1 of this prospectus. As further described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results," information contained in this prospectus setting forth consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2006 presents a mathematical combination of predecessor and successor results for portions of that period. Although this presentation presents a period that differs from those periods presented in our GAAP financial statements, we believe it provides the most meaningful comparison of our consolidated results for the three years ended December 31, 2007 because it allows us to compare our consolidated results over equivalent periods of time.

          This prospectus includes market and industry data that we have prepared based, in part, upon industry publications and surveys. We have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon in those sources. Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this prospectus concerning our market position and market share within our industry is based upon data published by the Mortgage Bankers Association, an industry trade group.

Our global primary, master and special servicing portfolio included more than 54,000 loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $380.2 billion as of March 31, 2008 compared to $371.7 billion as of December 31, 2007.

North American Lending and Mortgage Banking

          Our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment provides borrowers with a broad range of financial products that may be used to finance most types of commercial properties. We are one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in North America in terms of principal amount of financing arranged. We source new lending opportunities through our commercial mortgage banking network in the United States, which has more than 26 offices located in 19 states, and through our existing relationships with property owners and developers and other third parties in the United States.

          We originate loans and arrange other forms of financing covering a broad spectrum of asset classes both for our own account and for sale to government sponsored enterprises, or "GSEs," and other third parties, such as insurance companies and major financial institutions, for whom we act as a correspondent lender. Many of our proprietary loans are made by Capmark Bank, our wholly-owned industrial bank. In past years, we have reduced the principal risk associated with our North American proprietary lending activities by monetizing a significant portion of the financing that we originate through securitizations, syndications, participations and other sales. We have ceased originating loans in Canada as of year-end 2007 to focus our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking business on opportunities in the U.S. markets.

North American Investments and Funds Management

          Our North American Investments and Funds Management segment focuses on the sponsorship and management of real estate debt and equity funds, as well as the management of our own real estate debt and equity investments. We manage 35 private funds, separate accounts and CDOs, having raised aggregate third-party capital commitments of $13.7 billion for current funds and CDOs through March 31, 2008. We earn recurring management fees based, in part, on the amount of third-party assets under our management, or in the case of certain funds that we manage, on the amount of capital commitments from fund investors during the commitment period. In addition, we are entitled to receive incentive fees that are calculated based on returns generated by those investments if certain thresholds are achieved. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, we earned $13.1 million and $91.7 million, respectively, of aggregate management fees from third parties. As of March 31, 2008, the segment had approximately $10.2 billion of assets under management, which is comprised of approximately $9.2 billion of investments that were made with third-party capital and approximately $1.0 billion of investments that were made with our own capital.

          Our investment approach focuses on targeting appropriate risk adjusted investment opportunities for investors across a broad range of real estate related investments. We identify these investment opportunities by leveraging our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking activities as well as our existing relationships with third-party developers and commercial real estate participants.

North American Servicing

          Our North American Servicing segment carries out primary, master and special servicing activities for commercial real estate loans that are originated by us or by third parties and for securitized loan pools in North America. As of March 31, 2008, our North American servicing portfolio included over 41,000 loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $295.2 billion, making us one of the largest servicers of commercial real estate loans in North America.

          Our primary and master servicing operations in the United States have received the highest primary and master servicer ratings from Standard & Poor's or "S&P" and DBRS and the second

5



highest primary and master servicer ratings from Fitch Ratings or "Fitch." We are also an approved servicer of loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHA. Our servicing activities also provide us with an important source of recurring fee-based income, including servicing fees and trust fees that we earn on escrow balances for loans that we service. Our special servicing operations provide us with an opportunity to earn counter-cyclical income during market downturns and has received the highest U.S. special servicer ratings from S&P and Fitch.

Asian Operations

          Our Asian Operations segment carries out a range of commercial real estate finance activities that leverages the experience and expertise that we have gained in our North American operations and provides us with a geographically diverse source of income. Historically, this segment has focused on making real estate equity investments, acquiring portfolios of non-performing commercial and residential real estate loans and originating and servicing commercial real estate loans. Our Asian operations have historically focused primarily on the Japanese real estate market but in recent years have expanded to other Asian markets on an opportunistic basis. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 88% of the segment's assets were located in Japan and the segment's Japanese operations accounted for approximately 96% and 81% of the segment's total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, we had invested more than $2.2 billion in non-performing loans and made $1.6 billion in real estate equity investments in Japan. We were the first licensed third-party loan servicer in Japan and had a primary servicing portfolio of over 11,000 loans with an outstanding principal balance of $20.8 billion as of March 31, 2008. We have significantly reduced our proprietary Asian lending and investment activities and continue to focus on allocating capital effectively and enhancing our liquidity position.

European Operations

          Our European Operations segment has conducted a range of commercial real estate finance activities in Ireland, the United Kingdom and selected countries in Continental Europe, primarily through Capmark Bank Europe p.l.c., an Irish bank with lending authority throughout Europe. The activities of this segment have included lending, real estate equity investments and servicing. We have offices located in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Germany. Our European Operations segment's total assets were $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the segment had a primary, master and special servicing portfolio that included over 800 loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $64.2 billion. We have significantly reduced our proprietary European lending and continue to focus on allocating capital effectively and enhancing our liquidity position.

          In April 2008, we completed the sale of significant interests in 39 loans in our European loan portfolio to a third-party institutional buyer for a total aggregate sale price of approximately $1.8 billion.

North American Affordable Housing

          Our North American Affordable Housing segment manages affordable housing debt investments and low income housing tax credit, or "LIHTC," equity investments on behalf of third-party investors. We have previously aggregated LIHTC investments into funds and sold equity in those funds to tax credit investors. These funds generate a return or yield to the investors based on their purchase price over the life of the tax credits. In many cases, we have provided guaranteed yields to these investors, which has created a liability for us. As of March 31, 2008, we managed LIHTC funds with over $2.4 billion of invested and committed capital, $1.9 billion of which was in

6



guaranteed funds. We are not originating new LIHTC equity investments and have restructured this segment to focus on LIHTC fund management on behalf of investors.

          In the first quarter of 2007, we sold a majority of our affordable housing debt platform to affiliates of Citigroup Inc. for approximately $500 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $700 million of secured indebtedness. Since that transaction, we have transferred general partnership interests and related management obligations relating to seventeen non-guaranteed LIHTC funds to third parties. We will consider future opportunities to transfer management obligations or yield guarantee obligations or otherwise reduce the size of our LIHTC business.


Our Competitive Strengths

          We believe that we possess a number of strengths that differentiate us from other commercial real estate finance companies and provide us with significant competitive advantages. These strengths include the following:

    Broad and Integrated Business.  We believe that the depth and breadth of the commercial real estate financial products and services that we offer provide us with sources of business opportunities and make us a strong competitor. Our business:

    is vertically integrated, spanning commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking; investments and funds management; and servicing;

    benefits from the significant origination capabilities of our commercial mortgage banking network and is supported by multiple lending platforms that cover a wide range of real estate asset classes;

    has extensive structuring and capital markets expertise; and

    is geographically diverse.

    We operate in an integrated manner that allows us and our customers to benefit from our broad capabilities in a variety of ways. In particular:

      our vertically integrated capabilities allow us to better satisfy our customers' specific needs and to capture value at multiple stages in a commercial real estate financing transaction;

      our broad product offerings allow us to handle a wide range of customer needs, by providing financing at multiple levels of a capital structure and for most commercial property types at any stage of development; and

      our extensive origination network and investment approval processes enable us to share operating practices, customer leads and market intelligence across our company, which we believe increases business opportunities, informs our credit decision process and enhances the efficiency of our operations and the execution of our transactions.

    Diversified Business Model.  We believe that the diversity of our business model adds stability to our financial performance and helps reduce our exposure to adverse industry developments. In particular:

    subject to market conditions, our income consists of a mix of net interest income earned on our loan portfolio and our investment securities and noninterest income, including fee-based income that we earn in connection with our lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management and servicing activities and gains that we may recognize in connection with the sale of real estate related assets, net of valuation

7


        charges on our portfolio; a portion of our income is generated from activities outside the United States;

      certain of our business activities, such as special servicing, provide us with opportunities to earn income that are inversely correlated to conditions in the commercial real estate market;

      our balance sheet is diversified in terms of geography, real estate asset class and individual credit exposure; as of March 31, 2008, our average loan size was $9.9 million, our maximum single credit exposure was $434.4 million and no single U.S. metropolitan statistical area, or "MSA," or non U.S. geographic MSA equivalent accounted for more than 4.0% of our loan portfolio; and

      our capital markets expertise gives us the capability to monetize certain of our assets through asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations, which helps us manage principal risk and provides us with important sources of liquidity.

    Industry Leader with Established Relationships.  We are an established leader in the commercial real estate finance sector and have developed significant relationships with leading firms in various industries that provide us with ongoing sources of business in the following key areas:

    Originations. These include relationships with GSEs, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, governmental agencies such as the FHA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or "HUD," and with other institutions, such as insurance companies and major international banks, that rely on correspondent lenders such as us to originate and service substantial volumes of loans.

    Lending. We have relationships with major property owners and developers and other third parties that frequently require financing for real estate projects, as well as other commercial and industrial companies that require funding for their commercial real estate projects.

    Investments. Our customers include large institutional investors and borrowers that actively make debt and equity real estate investments and seek partners to support their investment strategies.

    Liquidity. We have also established relationships with both domestic and international financial institutions and notes investors that currently provide us with access to important sources of funding. We believe these relationships also provide an important foundation for the future growth of our business.

    Substantial Fee-Based Income Streams.  In addition to net interest income from our loan portfolio and investment securities, we earn recurring fee-based income from our three business lines that provides us with a diversified base of cash flow. This fee-based income includes recurring primary and master servicing fees for servicing loans arranged by our company and others and securitized loan pools, investment management fees that we earn based, in part, on the amount of third-party capital that we manage, trust fees that we earn on escrow balances for loans that we service in North America, special servicing and asset administration fees with respect to defaulted loans, which tend to increase during slow downs in the commercial real estate market, and various origination, brokerage and investment banking fees that, although transaction based, contribute significantly to our income.

    Focus on Credit and Underwriting Risk Management.  We have established a credit and underwriting risk management framework and governance processes and procedures

8


      focused on establishing, on a company-wide basis and within each of our business segments, defined risk limits and tolerances designed to monitor and limit the risks inherent in our financing activities. Oversight of our credit and underwriting risk management is carried out by members of our senior management, our credit, market risk management, internal audit and law departments and various committees and risk managers who are independent of our business units. We also utilize a number of lending, hedging and disposition structures that are intended to minimize our exposure to various risks while permitting us to retain a significant portion of the returns generated by our business activities.

    Experienced Management Team with Substantial Ownership Interest.  Our executive officers have an average of more than 22 years of experience in the financial services industry. In addition, the members of our senior management that head our six business segments have been employed by our company or our predecessor companies for more than seven years on average. We believe that the experience of our executive officers and senior management will enhance our ability to profitably grow our business. Since we were acquired by an investor group on March 23, 2006, our employees and directors have invested over $100 million in our company's common stock and now own approximately 5% of our common stock.


Our Strategy

          Our goal is to profitably grow our business and to strengthen our position as a leading commercial real estate finance company. In pursuit of this goal, we have adopted the following strategies:

    Allocate Capital Effectively.  Allocating capital effectively is essential for optimizing the performance of a commercial real estate finance company. We have developed an economic capital model that we use to quantify the amount of equity capital needed to support the activities of our business lines, and we assess the performance of those business lines based on their ability to generate returns commensurate with the capital employed. Using this strategy, we allocate our capital to businesses that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns and reduce the amount of capital allocated to less attractive business opportunities. In recent years, this strategy has led to: a repositioning of our balance sheet that has resulted in our investing in lower risk assets; subject to market conditions, carrying assets on our balance sheet for shorter periods of time and increasing asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations, and disposing of or closing certain of our operations.

    Emphasize Businesses with Higher Growth Potential and Higher Risk-Adjusted Returns.  We are committed to focusing our resources on those businesses and markets that offer opportunities for growth and attractive risk-adjusted returns on equity. In connection with this strategy, we expect to:

    manage our lending and mortgage banking business in key markets to focus on opportunities that can generate attractive risk adjusted returns under existing market conditions and provide a significant source of servicing rights; and

    continue growing our investments and funds management business, which provides us with opportunities to earn recurring management fees and benefit from appreciation in real estate values.

          We also expect to deemphasize certain of our businesses or products that do not meet our performance thresholds or that are not important to our strategy.

9


    Prudently Manage Expenses.  During late 2006 and early 2007, we completed a corporate wide expense reduction program intended to reduce our costs and enhance operating efficiencies. Program initiatives included, among others, changing our employee compensation programs to better align pay with performance, consolidating office facilities, reducing our staffing levels, reviewing and renegotiating certain vendor contracts and disposing of certain less profitable operations. Total adjusted noninterest expense (as defined on page 21) was $618.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $886.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a reduction equal to $268.7 million as a result of such actions. We expect to continue our focus on expense management and operational efficiency.

    Emphasize Risk Management Culture.  We will continue to actively manage the risks of our business while preserving our ability to achieve attractive returns. We reduce the principal risk associated with our lending activities through asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations, and other risk reduction techniques, while maintaining and expanding relationships with our borrowers. We intend to continue to emphasize and develop risk management strategies that continue to diversify our balance sheet; maintain a broad and deep array of funding sources; and maintain separate origination, underwriting, credit approval, asset management and asset sale processes so that sequential components of a transaction's lifecycle are managed independently.

    Diversify and Develop Additional Funding Sources.  We have obtained investment grade credit ratings for our senior unsecured long-term debt, which has enabled us to obtain a $5.5 billion senior credit facility and successfully execute, in May 2007, a $2.55 billion issuance of notes. In addition to unsecured funding capacity, we utilize syndications, participations, loan sales, securitizations and bank deposits to enhance our liquidity. This allows us to fund a wide variety of assets, and may reduce the impact that dislocation in any single funding market may have on our business. We have also established other unsecured and secured borrowing relationships with a number of lenders inside and outside the United States and intend to pursue other financing opportunities, including in the debt capital markets, to the extent market conditions permit. We also have access to short and long term comparatively inexpensive deposit funding, and access to Federal funding programs through our subsidiary, Capmark Bank. Given the importance of financing to our businesses, we are committed to maintaining our investment grade rating profile.

    Leverage Our Resources Internationally.  Our proficiencies and experience extend across the spectrum of the lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management and servicing sectors of the commercial real estate finance industry. This skill set has enabled us to continue to innovate and remain an industry leader in a rapidly evolving marketplace and to selectively extend our reach into Asia and Europe.

The Sponsor Transactions

          Prior to March 23, 2006, we were an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GMAC LLC, formerly known as General Motors Acceptance Corporation, which we refer to (together with its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise) as "GMAC." On March 23, 2006, an investor entity owned by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Dune Capital Management LP, which we refer to as our "Sponsors," acquired a controlling equity stake in our company from a subsidiary of GMAC. In connection with the acquisition:

    an affiliate of our Sponsors, GMACCH Investor LLC, which we refer to as our "Sponsor stockholder," acquired outstanding shares of our common stock from GMAC for approximately $1.5 billion in cash;

    certain of our employees purchased shares of our common stock for cash and, in most cases, we granted those employees time-based and performance-based stock options;

    we obtained an investment grade rating for our senior unsecured long-term debt from each of Moody's, S&P and Fitch and entered into a $5.5 billion senior credit facility, which we refer to as our "senior credit facility," and a $5.25 billion bridge loan, which we refer to as our "bridge loan" (of which approximately $1.7 billion remained outstanding as of March 31, 2008);

    we issued approximately $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2046, which we refer to as our "junior subordinated debentures," to Capmark Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, which in turn issued $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount of Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities, or "trust preferred securities," to GMAC in exchange for the reduction of an equivalent amount of indebtedness that we owed GMAC at the time;

    we used borrowings under our senior credit facility and our bridge loan to repay $7.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that we owed GMAC, representing the balance of the indebtedness that we owed GMAC at the time; and

    we changed our name from GMAC Commercial Holding Corp. to Capmark Financial Group Inc. so that we now conduct our business under the "Capmark" brand name.

          We refer to these transactions collectively in this prospectus as the "Sponsor Transactions." As a result of the Sponsor Transactions and subsequent issuances of our common stock, as of March 31, 2008 our Sponsor stockholder owned approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock, our employees and directors owned approximately 5% of our outstanding common stock and GMAC owned approximately 21% of our outstanding common stock. Other than with respect to legacy guarantees of some of our outstanding obligations and the contractual arrangements entered into by us, our Sponsor stockholder and GMAC in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions," the only remaining financial involvement of GMAC in our company consists of its investment in our common stock and its ownership of $250 million liquidation amount of trust preferred securities that are funded with our junior subordinated debentures.

          We accounted for the Sponsor Transactions as a purchase, which required that the cost basis of our Sponsor stockholder and employees and directors in our assets and liabilities be "pushed down" into our consolidated financial statements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results."

The Notes

          The following summary describes the principal terms of the notes. For a more detailed description, see "Description of the Notes."

Issuer   Capmark Financial Group Inc.

Notes Issued

 

$830,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2010 floating rate notes.

 

 

$1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2012 fixed rate notes.

 

 

$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2017 fixed rate notes.

Maturity Dates

 

The 2010 floating rate notes will mature on May 10, 2010 unless redeemed earlier by us. The 2012 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10, 2012 unless redeemed earlier by us. The 2017 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10, 2017 unless redeemed earlier by us. See "Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption."

Interest

 

The 2010 floating rate notes bear interest at a variable rate reset for each interest period based on three month LIBOR plus 0.650% as described under the heading "Description of the Notes—General—Floating Rate Notes." The 2012 fixed rate notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year. The 2017 fixed rate notes bear interest at a rate of 6.300% per year.

 

 

The interest rate applicable to the notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if the debt rating applicable to the notes is downgraded under the circumstances described under the heading "Description of the Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment." These adjustments will no longer be applicable if the notes are rated above a certain rating threshold. See "Description of the Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment."

Interest Payment Dates

 

We pay interest quarterly on the 2010 floating rate notes on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10 of each year. We pay interest semi annually on the fixed rate notes on May 10 and November 10 of each year. Interest accrues from the last interest payment date of the notes.

Guarantees

 

The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and one of our Bermudian subsidiaries, each of which subsidiary guarantor is a guarantor of our obligations under our bridge loan and our senior credit facility. Each guarantee is a senior unsecured obligation of the subsidiary guarantor.

12



Ranking

 

The notes are:

 

 


 

senior unsecured obligations of ours;

 

 


 

equal in ranking with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness;

 

 


 

senior to our indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes; and

 

 


 

effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

 

 

Similarly, the guarantees of the notes are senior unsecured obligations of the subsidiary guarantors, and each guarantee of a subsidiary guarantor ranks equally with all of the other senior unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantor, ranks senior to indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantor that is subordinated to the guarantee and is effectively subordinated to any indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. See Note 29 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 24 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for information regarding the amount of the indebtedness and other liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, all of which are structurally senior to the notes and the guarantees.

 

 

Secured debt that we or a subsidiary guarantor may incur in the future and all other secured obligations of Capmark Financial Group Inc. or the subsidiary guarantors in effect from time to time will be effectively senior to the notes and the guarantees to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of March 31, 2008, Capmark Financial Group Inc. had approximately $8.2 billion of outstanding indebtedness, all of which was senior indebtedness and none of which was secured, and the subsidiary guarantors had approximately $4.5 billion of indebtedness outstanding and other liabilities (including intercompany indebtedness), $564.5 million of which was secured.

13



Optional Redemption

 

The 2010 floating rate notes are not redeemable prior to November 10, 2008. Thereafter, we may redeem the 2010 floating rate notes in whole or in part on any interest payment date at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We may redeem the fixed rate notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, subject to the payment of a make whole premium, if any, as described under the heading "Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption."

Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event

 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to any series of notes (which involves the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a downgrade of the ratings of the notes of a particular series below investment grade by Moody's, S&P and Fitch), we will be required to make an offer to the holders of notes of that series to purchase their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. See "Description of the Notes—Covenants—Change of Control."

Additional Issuances

 

We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the notes, issue additional notes that may be consolidated and form a single series with any of the series of notes subject to the offer. Any additional notes that are issued and become part of an existing series of notes will have the same terms as the outstanding notes of the series, as the case may be (other than the purchase price and issue date).

No Public Market

 

We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on a securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. The initial purchasers in the private offering of the notes have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes. The initial purchasers are not obligated, however, to make a market in the notes, and any such market-making may be discontinued by the initial purchasers in their discretion at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the notes.

Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider all the information in the prospectus prior to investing in the notes. In particular, we urge you to carefully consider the factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors."

Summary Ownership Structure

          The following chart summarizes our ownership structure.

           LOGO


Notes:

(1)
Although we own all of the outstanding common securities that have been issued by Capmark Trust, we do not consolidate the trust as a subsidiary in our financial statements due to the fact that we are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of the trust.

(2)
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and one of our Bermudian subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are also guarantors of our obligations under our bridge loan and our senior credit facility.

(3)
The notes are not guaranteed by any of our other subsidiaries. Some of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes are borrowers under our senior credit facility or borrowers or guarantors under our other financing arrangements. See "Description of Other Indebtedness" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements and Other Funding Sources."

Notes:

(1)
"Other noninterest expense" consists of: amortization charges relating to our mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets; occupancy, equipment and data costs; professional fees; and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2005, "other noninterest expense" included a goodwill impairment charge of $69.5 million primarily relating to our LIHTC operations.

(2)
Our company effected a stock split in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. Per share data for the predecessor periods are computed based upon the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the Sponsor Transactions applied to our historical net income amounts and gives retroactive effect to the stock split. Amounts for the successor periods are computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period applied to our historical net income amounts.

(3)
The calculations of diluted net (loss) income per share exclude anti-dilutive stock options with time-based vesting conditions and stock options with performance-based vesting conditions because the performance conditions had not been achieved at the end of the respective reporting periods. No dilutive instruments were issued prior to March 23, 2006.

(4)
"Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage pursuant to contractual or regulatory requirements in the amounts of $227.2 million as of March 31, 2008, and $232.3 million, $251.4 million and $148.5 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

(5)
"Investment securities" consist of investment securities classified as trading, available for sale or held to maturity.

(6)
"Loans, net" consist of loans held for sale and loans held for investment, net of our valuation allowance on loans held for sale prior to the adoption of fair value accounting on January 1,

20


    2008 and our allowance for loan losses on loans held for investment. Effective January 1, 2008, substantially all of our loans held for sale are carried at fair value.

(7)
"Mezzanine equity" consists of common stock purchased by our employees and directors. We have classified this common stock as mezzanine equity rather than stockholders' equity because that common stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements."

(8)
Our adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure that our management uses to evaluate its effectiveness in managing operating expenses. The ratio represents the costs that we incur in order to generate a dollar of revenue. A lower ratio indicates that we are operating with a comparatively higher degree of efficiency. Our measure may not be comparable to measurements used by other companies, including other finance companies, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or an alternative to, a GAAP efficiency ratio. Our GAAP efficiency ratio is the ratio of our noninterest expense to our total revenues.

In calculating noninterest expense for purposes of this non-GAAP ratio, we exclude from noninterest expense certain non-cash items, including our amortization of mortgage servicing rights and goodwill impairments. We also exclude from noninterest expense virtually all of the operating expenses (reflected in minority interest income (expense)) from certain real estate partnerships that we have consolidated into our financial statements but for which we have a nominal economic ownership interest.

In calculating revenues for purposes of this non-GAAP ratio, we exclude from our revenues the one-time pre-tax gain on the sale of the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt platform.

The adjusted efficiency ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is not meaningful because we did not have positive revenues for that period.

A reconciliation of our GAAP efficiency ratio to our non-GAAP adjusted efficiency ratio for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is set out below:

Our
GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratios for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were adversely impacted by a reduction in our revenue as a result of push down accounting. In addition, our GAAP efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2006 was also negatively impacted by the significant transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. Our efficiency ratios for the affected periods would have been lower if we had adjusted the ratio to exclude those impacts.

For purposes of calculating this ratio, "net charge-offs" consists of charge-offs on our mortgage loans held for sale and our mortgage loans held for investment and "average loans" represent the average of the month-end loan balances of the foregoing mortgage loans in the period specified.

Our ratio of adjusted debt to adjusted equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that our management uses to evaluate the degree of financial leverage present in our capital structure. Our measure may not be comparable to measurements used by other companies, including other finance companies, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or an alternative to, a ratio of total indebtedness to total stockholders' equity calculated on a GAAP basis. Our GAAP debt to equity ratio is the ratio of our total indebtedness to total stockholders' equity.

We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of our company, our business, and performance trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry.

In calculating adjusted debt for purposes of this non-GAAP ratio, we adjust GAAP total indebtedness to reflect the exclusion of the junior subordinated debentures underlying the trust preferred securities issued by Capmark Trust and the portion of our indebtedness relating to certain securitization transactions and certain LIHTC partnership and limited liability company interests, which we refer to in this prospectus as "LIHTC partnerships," which is required to be consolidated under GAAP but is not considered to be indebtedness under the terms of our senior credit facility.

In calculating adjusted equity for purposes of this non-GAAP ratio, we adjust GAAP total stockholders' equity to reflect the inclusion of the trust preferred securities issued by Capmark

22


    Trust and the mezzanine equity we issued to our employees and directors, which are commonly considered by investors and rating agencies to be components of equity.

    A reconciliation of our GAAP ratio of debt to equity to the non-GAAP ratio of adjusted debt to adjusted equity as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 is set out below:

This ratio is our "originated non-performing assets" divided by our total loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure as of that date, excluding any loans that were on non-accrual status at the time we acquired such loans for investment purposes. Our "originated non-performing assets" consist of all of our loans, net, that are on non-accrual status and all real estate acquired through foreclosure, excluding any loans that were on non-accrual status at the time we acquired such loans for investment purposes. We exclude our acquired non-performing loans from this ratio because the ratio is intended to be indicative of the portion of the assets in our portfolio that are not performing in accordance with the terms on which they were originated by our company. Inclusion of acquired non-performing loans in the this ratio would not be consistent with the purpose of this ratio because our acquired non-performing loans are acquired for investment at substantial discounts to their principal balances, consistent with our management's expectation at the time of acquisition that such loans will not perform in accordance with their original contractual terms. For additional information, see Note 3—"Income Recognition and Impairments Relating to Acquired Non-Performing and Under-Performing Loans" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

    loans that were on non-accrual status at the time we acquired such loans for investment purposes. Our acquired non-performing loans are acquired for investment at substantial discounts to their principal balances, consistent with our management's expectation at the time of acquisition that such loans will not perform in accordance with their original contractual terms.

For purposes of calculating this ratio, earnings consist of income before minority interest and income tax provision less equity in income (loss) of joint ventures and partnerships plus distributed income of equity investees and fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest expense, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt issuance costs and the portion of our rental expense (one-third) that is representative of an interest factor.

(14)
"Certain bond financings" consist of U.S. tax exempt bond financings which financed the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or refinancing of qualifying affordable housing projects and Japanese mortgage loans originated through a Japanese tax-efficient structure that are classified as investment securities on our consolidated balance sheet.

(15)
"Servicing portfolio" consists of loans with respect to which we act as a primary, master or special servicer. The size of our servicing portfolio is calculated based on the outstanding principal balance of the loans in the portfolio as of the applicable period end date. "Primary/Master/Special" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the master or primary servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) and have been named as the special servicer. "Primary/Master" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the primary or master servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) but not as the special servicer. "Special" consists of loans with respect to which we have been named as the special servicer and do not act in any other servicing capacity.

RISK FACTORS

          You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all the other information contained in this prospectus before you to decide whether or not to invest in the notes. If any of the events described below actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to repay the notes.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our business is significantly affected by general business, economic and cyclical market conditions, particularly in the commercial real estate industry, and accordingly, our business could be harmed in the event of an economic slowdown or recession or a market downturn or disruption.

          Our business and earnings are sensitive to general business, economic and market conditions in the United States and in the various foreign markets in which we operate, including Japan, where the majority of assets in our Asian operations are located. These conditions include changes in government policies and regulations and changes in short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, deflation, fluctuations in the real estate and debt capital markets and developments in national and local economies. The commercial real estate industry is cyclical and is subject to numerous economic factors including general business conditions, changes in interest rates, inflation and oversupply of properties. Any sustained period of weakness or weakening business or economic conditions in the markets in which we do business or in related markets, such as those experienced since July 2007, could result in a continuing decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services offered by us and a reduction in the value of loans and other real estate related assets that we hold or manage, which could continue to adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the number of borrowers and counterparties who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to us could increase. An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in a higher level of originated non-performing assets, net charge-offs, provisions for loan losses and valuation adjustments on our owned or managed real estate related assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Developments in the debt capital markets have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

          Developments in the residential mortgage market, including increased delinquencies on residential mortgage loans and the insolvencies of subprime mortgage companies and hedge funds, have expanded to uncertainties and disruptions in the debt capital markets as a whole. These uncertainties have led to an overall reduction in liquidity in the debt capital markets, including sources of liquidity that we utilize, such as securitizations and other sales of commercial mortgage loans, real estate investments and other assets and unsecured and secured debt financing arrangements.

          We have experienced many of the following negative effects from these adverse market trends and if these adverse market trends continue or worsen, we may continue to experience negative effects including:

    declines in the fair value of our mortgage loans and real estate related investments held or managed for third-party clients, which could cause us to hold those loans and investments for a longer period of time or to sell them at lower values than anticipated, resulting in a decrease in the net gains we realize in the sale of those assets or negative valuation adjustments on our loan portfolio or reduced returns and fees from our investments and fund management activities;

25


    an inability to effectively execute our distribution strategies, including securizations, syndications, participations and other sales, which could increase the principal risk exposure associated with our lending activities and decrease our ability to generate new loans and related fees;

    an increase in the credit spreads that we require to originate new loans, which may make us less competitive than those companies who may be more diversified or otherwise less vulnerable to the current market disruptions;

    an increase in our interest expense, which could result in the reduction of our net interest income; and

    a reduction of our primary sources of funding, which may impair our ability to operate and grow our business.

          As a result of the foregoing factors, as well as a possible decrease in the demand for our products and services among clients who may be negatively affected by current market factors, our overall loan origination level has been and may continue to be reduced, the types of loans that we are able to originate may be constrained and our ability to increase our assets under management may be constrained, resulting in a corresponding reduction in our interest and fee income.

We require substantial amounts of capital to fund our operations. If we are unable to maintain adequate funding on acceptable terms, our results of operations and financial condition could suffer and we could face difficulty in operating our business as planned.

          We require substantial amounts of capital to support our operations and growth plans. Our primary sources of liquidity consist of cash from operating activities, existing unrestricted cash on our balance sheet, sales of assets, including securitizations, bank financing, capital markets financing and other financing arrangements, deposit funding from Capmark Bank and repayments of loans and other assets that we hold on our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $766.3 million of availability under our senior credit facility. Our ability to access liquidity is significantly constrained by, among other factors, unfavorable economic conditions and the financial conditions of our company and our lenders. If we cannot maintain or replace adequate sources of liquidity on favorable terms and conditions, we could incur substantially higher interest expense or be required to reduce the amount of loans and investments we hold, which could harm our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. Any increase in our cost of obtaining financing irrespective of the reason could have a similar impact.

We would be adversely affected by a lowering of our credit ratings.

          Our ability to effectively compete for financing in our industry is based, in part, on our credit ratings, which affect the availability of financing and the cost of our capital. Factors that are significant to the determination of our credit ratings or otherwise affect our ability to raise financing include the level and volatility of our earnings, our level of leverage, conditions in the debt capital markets and real estate markets, our relative competitive position, our risk management policies, our cash liquidity, our capital adequacy, our ability to retain key personnel, and legal, regulatory and tax developments. In the event that any or all of our credit ratings were downgraded, our ability to raise financing could be adversely affected and our cost of capital could increase significantly. In addition, because amounts of interest that are payable on our notes and our borrowings under our senior credit facility and bridge loan are determined by, among other factors, reference to our credit ratings, a downgrading of our credit ratings could adversely impact our interest expense.

          A downgrading of our credit ratings could also make it more difficult or costly for us to enter into hedging transactions. If our credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade, we will be required to obtain Fannie Mae's consent to maintain our status as an approved DUS™ seller/

26



servicer. In addition, a rating downgrade could increase the amount of collateral that we are required to provide counterparties under our secured contractual obligations and may result in providing third parties additional rights in certain of our agreements.

Changes in prevailing interest rates, credit spreads and credit availability may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

          Our results of operations and financial condition may be directly affected by changes in prevailing interest rates, credit spreads and credit availability. In particular, an increase in interest rates, a widening of credit spreads or a decrease in the availability of debt financing for real estate related assets or corporate borrowers has and could, among other things:

    reduce the fair value of the loans that we hold for sale and the securities that we classify as trading or available for sale and, possibly, decrease the amounts that we ultimately realize upon an asset sale, including a syndication, participation or securitization;

    adversely affect our ability to sell financial assets through syndications, participations, securitizations or otherwise, which would adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund our operations;

    reduce the number of properties that are economically feasible to finance with debt, which could decrease the demand for loans that we originate and manage and, if that decrease in demand reduces the size of our servicing portfolio or assets under management, the fees that we earn in connection with our servicing and investment activities could be adversely affected;

    increase our borrowing costs under our floating rate notes, our senior credit facility, our bridge loan and other financing arrangements, increase the costs of borrowing arrangements that we may seek to enter into to refinance existing arrangements or limit our access to other sources of capital upon which we rely to fund our operations and thereby cause us to curtail our lending and investment activities;

    increase the rates of defaults and delinquencies on loans that we hold for sale or for investment and on the pools of loans that underlie securitization transactions in which we retain an interest including as a result of the inability of borrowers to obtain financing needed to repay loans at maturity;

    adversely impact the fair value of real estate equity investments that are held by us or investment funds that we manage, possibly reducing or delaying our ability to generate gains from the sale of those investments or earn performance-based fees; and

    reduce the fair value of real estate related or other investments that may serve as collateral for our secured funding arrangements or derivative instruments, thereby increasing the risk of margin calls under those arrangements or instruments.

          Conversely, a decrease in interest rates will reduce our earnings on escrow balances in connection with our servicing activities. In addition, a narrowing of credit spreads may lead to prepayments on loans we own after any applicable lock-out periods have expired. When prepayments occur, we may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in instruments that bear the same effective yield as the loans being prepaid.

          A significant change in interest rates could also result in collateral being placed with our derivative counterparties as a result of declines in the fair market value of our derivative instruments executed in connection with our hedging activities. We negotiate and execute industry standard agreements that govern the maximum credit exposure that can be assumed by our derivative counterparties in respect of their derivative agreements with us. When this credit limit is exceeded, our counterparty will require us to make cash payments to bring their exposure within the specified

27



maximum exposure limit. These collateral requirements (which are commonly referred to as "margin calls") could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.

Our business outside the United States exposes us to additional risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risks, that may adversely affect our results of operations.

          We conduct a portion of our business outside the United States. Our international operations generate income and expenses and give rise to assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. If not adequately hedged, fluctuations in these currencies may adversely affect our earnings and the values of certain of our assets and liabilities. In addition, our international operations, including significant operations in Japan, subject us to additional risks not associated with our operations inside the United States. These risks include:

    multiple foreign "doing business" and licensing laws and regulatory requirements that are subject to change;

    possible nationalization, expropriation, price controls, capital controls, exchange controls or other restrictive government actions;

    difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations;

    differing labor regulations;

    laws and regulations applicable to the securities and financial services industries that differ from United States laws or are uncertain and evolving, including laws and regulations relating to financial services companies, banking, securities, lending, investment advisory services, loan servicing, bankruptcy, creditors' rights, debt collection, property ownership and liens;

    potentially negative consequences arising from changes in tax laws or their application or the manner in which our businesses operate outside the United States or are viewed by foreign tax authorities; and

    political instability and economic instability or slowdowns in foreign countries in which we do business.

          In particular, we have significant operations in Japan that subject us to the above risks to the extent that the geographic region is affected by any of the above factors. The effects of these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect our results of operations.

Our efforts to mitigate risks relating to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and foreign currency exchange rates may not be successful and may expose us to additional types of risks.

          We employ various economic hedging strategies with the objective of mitigating the market risks that are inherent in our business and operations. These risks include the risks that changes in prevailing interest rates, credit spreads or foreign currency exchange rates will impact the fair value of our assets, including our loans, investment securities and mortgage servicing rights, decrease our levels of income or increase our expenses. We seek to control these risks by, among other things, purchasing or selling United States Treasury securities and entering into a number of derivative instruments, including total rate of return swaps, CMBS index swaps, interest rate or foreign exchange swaps, interest rate caps and floors and options to purchase the foregoing items.

          Developing an effective strategy for dealing with movements in interest rates, credit spreads and foreign currency exchange rates is complex, and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with those fluctuations. Our hedging strategies also rely on assumptions and projections regarding our assets, general market factors and the credit worthiness of our counterparties that may prove to be incorrect or prove to be inadequate. Accordingly, our hedging

28



activities may not have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Poorly designed strategies or improperly executed transactions could actually increase our risks and losses. If we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may also be required to pay additional costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs. There have been periods in the past, and it is likely that there will be periods in the future, during which we have incurred or may incur losses on transactions after taking into account our hedging strategies.

We may suffer a loss if the value of property or other assets securing loans that we hold for sale or investment deteriorates.

          Our loans are generally non-recourse and we generally are not entitled to seek recovery from the borrower in the event of a payment default, except in the case of some construction loans and instances of fraud or other bad acts by the borrower and breaches of certain representations and covenants. Accordingly, the cash flows generated by the operation, sale or refinancing of the properties securing our loans typically are the sole sources of funds for the payment of principal and interest that is due under our loans. A borrower's ability to successfully operate, refinance or sell a mortgaged property may be affected by a number of factors, including the ability of the borrower to fully lease the property on terms sufficient to support the debt; levels of operating costs for operating the properties; competition; litigation involving the property owner or the property; changes in local, regional or national economic, business and market conditions or forecasts; changes in the availability or cost of financing for real estate; uninsured losses to the property and other factors including those that are outside the control of the borrower. In the case of a mezzanine loan, the collateral that secures the borrower's obligations generally consists of a pledge of the borrower's equity interests in the entity that owns the financed property rather than a mortgage over the property itself. Our mezzanine loans are therefore subject to the additional risk that other lenders may be able to foreclose on the property owned by the borrowing entity, which could reduce or possibly eliminate the value of the collateral pledged in respect of the mezzanine loan.

          Further, the value of the assets securing our loans may deteriorate over time due to factors beyond our control, including acts or omissions by owners or managers of properties that are financed or changes in business, economic or market conditions, or that a sale or refinancing of, or a foreclosure on those assets would generate sufficient funds to pay amounts that are owed to us. In addition, there are significant costs and other delays associated with the process of foreclosing on collateral securing a loan.

Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if assumptions underlying our credit underwriting models prove to be incorrect.

          Our credit underwriting process in each country and market in which we operate involves making determinations as to the creditworthiness of a borrower and the anticipated performance and value of the property being financed. When making credit determinations, we are required to make assessments concerning the quality, viability and future occupancy and rent levels of the property being financed, the operating efficiency of the borrower or manager of the property, the borrower's business plan, the proposed financing structure, expected business, economic and market conditions and other matters over which we and the borrower may not have control. These assessments are often made in part based on information provided by prospective borrowers, which is not always subject to independent verification. If the assessments that we make prove to be incorrect, whether as a result of an unforeseen development or an inaccuracy or misrepresentation in the information that we are provided, our extension of credit could entail more risk than predicted and we could incur unexpected losses. In addition, if we originate a loan that is subject to a material misrepresentation by a borrower or a person acting on the borrower's behalf, we may not be able to sell the loan or, if the loan has been resold prior to detection of the

29



misrepresentation, we may be required to repurchase the loan from the buyer. Although it may be possible to proceed against the borrower or the person acting on its behalf, it may be difficult or impossible to recover any monetary losses that we suffer as a result of the misrepresentation.

If the estimates or assumptions we use to value our assets or determine our allowance for loan losses prove to be incorrect, we may be required to write down assets or increase our allowance for loan losses.

          In connection with the preparation of our financial statements and those of the funds we manage, we are required to use estimates and make various assumptions in determining the fair values of mortgage loans, investment securities and mortgage servicing rights that we carry on our balance sheet or manage, as applicable, and in determining our allowance for loan losses. These estimates and assumptions are based on a number of factors and considerations, which may include, depending on the particular asset being valued, our experience and expectations concerning discount rates, interest rates, credit spreads, market pricing for sales of similar assets, prepayment rates, servicing fees, rates of delinquencies and defaults on loans and loss recovery rates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates." A material difference between our estimates and assumptions and our actual experience may require us to write down the value of assets or increase our allowance for loan losses, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

We are required to apply complex accounting standards in the ordinary course of our business. Changes in those standards, or improper application of those standards, may adversely affect our reported results of operations and financial condition.

          We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which is a body of accounting principles that has been developed over time by members of the accounting profession and their professional bodies, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or the "AICPA," and the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the "FASB," with the oversight and involvement of United States regulatory authorities, including the SEC. Many of the accounting standards applicable to our business are highly complex and are subject to varying interpretations as well as to changes over time by applicable regulatory authorities.

          In the ordinary course of our business, we must make accounting judgments and estimates and must interpret the application of complex accounting rules to changing events and circumstances. If our accounting judgments or interpretations prove incorrect, corrections of our financial statements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We have previously restated our consolidated financial statements for 284 days ended December 31, 2006 and the three years ended December 31, 2005 to correct the improper application of technical accounting rules. The incorrect interpretation or application of technical accounting rules may lead to future restatements.

          We also may be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards or comply with revised interpretations that are issued from time to time by recognized authoritative bodies, including the FASB and the SEC. Those changes could adversely affect our reported results of operations or financial condition.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. If our current efforts to remediate these control deficiencies fail or we otherwise fail to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting on a timely basis, our internal controls would be considered ineffective for purposes of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Ineffective internal controls also could have an adverse effect on our future operations.

          We are a reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC. These rules and regulations, among other things, require us to establish and periodically evaluate the effectiveness of disclosure control procedures and procedures with respect to internal controls over financial reporting, including the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the "Exchange Act." Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

          Under Section 302 of the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to evaluate our disclosure controls and certify as to their conclusions in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. We expect that our first assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will be required to be completed with respect to our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. In connection with our preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the audits of those financial statements conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm, we and such firm identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.

          We determined that, as of December 31, 2007, we had not fully implemented internal controls providing for proper interpretation, application and/or documentation of GAAP pertaining to certain complex accounting transactions, including controls over:

    evaluating whether certain variable interest entities and affiliates should be included among those entities that are consolidated in our financial statements, or documenting the basis for our conclusions;

    documenting our determination of "reporting units" and whether certain asset dispositions should be accounted for as discontinued operations;

    documenting our accounting for certain loans originated on behalf of other parties;

    updating and documenting key assumptions used in the valuation of, and accounting for, share-based compensation;

    deferring and amortizing certain direct loan origination costs;

    documenting certain testing to support accounting for derivative instruments as hedging transactions; and

    assessing and documenting the basis to account for certain guarantees and commitments.

          We and our independent registered public accounting firm determined this control deficiency relating to interpretation and application of GAAP is a material weakness in internal control, in the

31



aggregate, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In addition, several significant deficiencies in internal control also existed at both dates, and other material weaknesses existed as of December 31, 2006 that we remediated during 2007. These material weaknesses and significant deficiencies resulted in errors in our consolidated financial statements and financial information as of and for the 284 days ended December 31, 2006 and the three years ended December 31, 2005, which were previously restated to correct such errors.

          If we fail to remedy these matters or otherwise fail to achieve and maintain effective internal controls on a timely basis, our internal controls would be considered ineffective for purposes of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The existence of material weaknesses could also result in errors in our financial statements that could result in an additional restatement, cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations to the SEC and third parties (including lenders under our financing arrangements and the holders of our notes), cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, require further remediation costs and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The requirements associated with being a reporting company require significant company resources and management attention.

          We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition within specified time periods and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting within specified deadlines. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that our management evaluate, and our independent registered public accountant report on, our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. We expect that we will be required to complete our initial internal controls assessment by the time of the filing of our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur prior to the time we became required to file reports under the Exchange Act. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our corporate governance standards, disclosure controls, internal controls over financial reporting and financial reporting and accounting systems designed to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, including the timely filing of Exchange Act reports. However, if the measures we take are not sufficient to satisfy our obligations, we may incur further costs and experience continued diversion of management attention, adverse reputational effects and possible regulatory sanctions or civil litigation.

Risks associated with yield guarantees for some of our LIHTC funds expose us to potential losses.

          We sponsor "LIHTC funds" in which investors acquire limited partner interests in an upper-tier investment partnership, which in turn invests as a limited partner in one or more lower-tier partnerships that own and operate multifamily properties intended to qualify for LIHTCs. Our LIHTC funds enable investors to benefit from tax credits and tax losses from the lower-tier partnerships in which the funds invest. In connection with many of the LIHTC funds that we sponsor, we provide or obtain from a third-party a yield guarantee intended to preserve an expected yield for the fund investors. For those funds, which we refer to as "guaranteed LIHTC funds," if the yield for investors falls below the guaranteed level, we or the third party would be required to make a payment equal to the difference between the actual yield and the guaranteed yield. The yield on a fund investment could fall below the guaranteed level for a number of reasons, including if anticipated tax benefits are not achieved or tax benefits previously realized by investors become subject to recapture. The loss of tax benefits could result under applicable tax laws if, among other things, the property is not occupied by a minimum percentage of residents whose income falls below specified levels, the level of rent charged to certain residents exceeds certain limits or the fund's investment in the

32



property is terminated through a sale or foreclosure of the property. We have agreed to reimburse most of our third-party yield guarantors (including GMAC with respect to guarantees that it issued prior to the Sponsor Transactions) for any amounts that they are required to pay under these guarantees. Our LIHTC operations have experienced losses in certain periods, including as a result of poor operating performance of certain lower-tier partnerships owned by guaranteed LIHTC funds, the loss or recapture of tax credits with respect to certain properties and other factors. In connection with the application of push down accounting, we increased the amount of liabilities on our balance sheet in respect of our LIHTC fund guarantees. If our payment obligations under the yield guarantees related to the guaranteed LIHTC funds that we have sponsored exceed the amounts that we have recorded in our financial statements for these liabilities, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our sponsorship of LIHTC funds exposes us to various risks associated with equity investments in multifamily properties.

          Investments in lower-tier partnerships are subject to numerous risks related to equity investments in multifamily properties, including delays in construction, increases in construction costs, inability to achieve or maintain high occupancy rates, increased property level expenses, property mismanagement and property damage from floods, fires or other causes, among others. These partnerships may not generate sufficient cash to pay operating expenses or debt service costs, which may result in the sale or foreclosure of the underlying property and the loss of tax benefits to investors. In addition, properties that are under construction may be unable to obtain permanent financing sufficient to repay the construction financing. If the interests in these partnerships are held by guaranteed LIHTC funds, we may be required to either advance funds to lower-tier partnerships to cover funding or operating shortfalls to ensure that investors in the guaranteed LIHTC funds do not lose their expected tax benefits or make payments to the investors to the extent that any loss of tax benefits causes the investors to receive less than the guaranteed yield. Also, even if we are not required to do so, we may advance funds to allow lower-tier partnerships to pay their operating expenses and debt service in order to preserve the expected tax benefits to investors. We have made and expect to continue to make advances to certain lower-tier partnerships to cover operating deficits or funding shortfalls in cases where we are required to do so to preserve tax benefits for investors or for other business reasons. We might not be able to recover any advances made to lower-tier partnerships and the failure to recover such advances may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, the upper-tier LIHTC funds that we sponsor are dependent upon the cash flows of the lower-tier partnerships in which they invest to generate the cash flow necessary to pay fees for services, such as the management services that we render to them. The failure of any lower-tier partnerships to generate positive cash flow may adversely affect our ability to collect the fees owed to us.

We have exposure to risks of loss in the event that we are unable to sell lower-tier partnerships into our sponsored funds or we are unable to recover advances or guarantee payments relating to certain lower-tier partnerships.

          We advance funds to acquire interests in lower-tier partnerships for inclusion in our LIHTC funds. Recovery of the amounts advanced is subject to our ability to syndicate the tax credits from the property to LIHTC funds that we sponsor or to otherwise sell the interests in the lower-tier partnership. In some cases we have also provided construction completion or operating deficit guarantees relating to our investments in or development of certain properties intended for syndication into LIHTC funds. We may be required to make guarantee payments under these agreements and may not be able to fully recover amounts advanced. We incur costs related to carrying interests in lower-tier partnerships prior to sale to LIHTC funds. If we are unable to sell our interests in these partnerships in a timely manner or at adequate prices, we will incur additional

33



carrying costs or losses on sale. Additionally, we have been required to provide additional collateral to secure our obligations under some of our yield guarantees. To the extent that we incur similar costs in the future, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our sponsorship of LIHTC funds involves additional risks that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

          In connection with our sponsorship of LIHTC funds, we act as a general partner of the upper-tier partnerships in which investors purchase interests. As general partner, we have various duties, including management of the funds' interests in lower-tier partnerships, financial reporting and tax reporting. The failure to perform any of our obligations could subject us to claims by investors for breach of contract or breach of duty.

We are dependent upon the proper operation of our systems and adequacy of our internal processes, and any failure in the operation of those systems or the adequacy of those processes could negatively affect our ability to operate our businesses.

          Our businesses depend on our ability to process and administer transactions across numerous and diverse markets in many currencies, and the transactions we process and administer have become increasingly complex. Like all large corporations, we are exposed to many types of operational risks, including the risk of fraud or unauthorized transactions by employees or outsiders, or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty computer or other automated systems. If any of our financial, accounting or other systems do not operate properly or are disabled, or if there are other shortcomings or failures in our internal processes, people or systems, we could suffer impairment to our liquidity, financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to customers, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Our systems might fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of events that might be beyond our control, including a disruption of electrical or communications services, computer viruses, natural disasters or other calamities such as terrorist attacks. The inability of our systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions could also constrain our ability to expand our businesses. In addition, our inability to implement and operate our systems on an efficient basis at costs comparable to our competition may result in a higher cost structure, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We face intense competition that could harm our market share and results of operations.

          Each of the business lines in which we compete is highly competitive on an international, national, regional and local level. Our primary competitors consist of mortgage companies, commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, other financial services firms, REITs, investment advisors and sponsors of investment funds and mortgage servicing companies, some of which are larger than us and have greater access to capital at a lower cost than we do.

          We compete on the basis of pricing, terms, structure and service. Our competitors seek to compete aggressively on the basis of these factors and we could lose market share to the extent we are unwilling to match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure due to our desire to maintain interest margins, credit standards, the economic capital analysis we apply to our business or any combination of the foregoing. To the extent that we match competitors' pricing, terms or structure, we might experience decreased profit margins and increased risks of loss.

Our business may be adversely affected by the regulated environment in which we operate and by governmental policies.

          We are subject to regulation and supervision in a number of jurisdictions. The level of regulation and supervision to which we are subject varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and is based on the type

34



of business activities involved. For example, two of our subsidiaries are industrial banks chartered by the State of Utah that have deposits that are eligible for insurance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or "FDIC." Each of these banks is subject to regulation and periodic examination by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC and must pay applicable FDIC insurance premiums and comply with applicable capital adequacy requirements, limitations on transactions with affiliates, provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve. Our Irish bank is also required to comply with various laws, rules and regulations in Ireland, including capital adequacy requirements, administrative notices implementing European Union Directives relating to business activities carried out by credit institutions and supplementary requirements and standards that are from time to time established by financial regulators. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we entered into a capital maintenance agreement with the FDIC that requires us to maintain the "well capitalized" status of our U.S. banks and to maintain the banks' Tier 1 leverage ratio above a prescribed minimum, and we delivered a letter of comfort to our Irish banking regulator in support of our Irish bank.

          In addition, another of our subsidiaries is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and with state securities commissions in the United States under state securities laws. This subsidiary is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or "FINRA," and, accordingly, is subject to the rules, regulations and supervision of that regulatory body. Another subsidiary is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is subject to federal and state laws and regulations. We are also in the process of obtaining an investment management registration for one of our Japanese subsidiaries and will be subject to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan, or "FIEL," and other applicable regulations. Other subsidiaries through which we conduct North American commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking activities holds various U.S. state and a Canadian provincial license relating to commercial real estate financing activities and is subject to various state laws and regulations.

          In addition, the regulatory and legal requirements that apply to our activities are subject to change from time to time and may become more restrictive or costly, making our compliance with applicable requirements more difficult or expensive or otherwise restricting our ability to conduct our businesses in the manner that they are now conducted. The regulation and supervision of our company and subsidiaries is primarily intended to benefit and protect our customers, and not our investors, and could limit our discretion in operating or increase the expense of running our businesses. Noncompliance with applicable statutes or regulations could result in the suspension or revocation of licenses or registrations that we have been granted, as well as the imposition of civil fines and criminal penalties. As a result of the regulated nature of our businesses, we are also subject to risk associated with (1) possible adverse results of regulatory and other governmental examinations or inquiries; (2) an increased possibility of litigation arising from regulatory and other governmental developments; (3) regulators' future use of supervisory and enforcement tools; and (4) legislative and regulatory reforms, including changes to tax laws or their interpretation. The impact of those developments could affect our ability to operate our businesses or negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

          In May 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would subject companies, such as us, that own industrial banks, referred to as "industrial bank holding companies," to regulation by the FDIC. The bill would subject industrial bank holding companies to a regulatory framework generally similar to the regulatory framework currently applicable to bank holding companies under federal banking laws. New regulations under the proposed framework would include: FDIC registration, reporting and examination of industrial bank holding companies; the imposition of industrial bank holding company-level regulatory capital requirements; and a requirement that industrial bank holding companies act as a source of strength for their industrial bank subsidiaries. In addition, the bill would prohibit ownership of an industrial bank by a "commercial firm," defined as an entity deriving, with its affiliates, more than 15% of its revenues

35



from non-financial activities. Similar legislation has recently been under consideration by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. Under the bill passed by the House as well as the bill under consideration by the Senate Banking Committee as currently proposed, both we and our Sponsor stockholder would become subject to regulation as industrial bank holding companies and we and one or more of our Sponsors may be considered commercial firms. Accordingly, if the proposed bills or similar legislation is enacted, we would become subject to an increased level of direct regulation. In addition, our Sponsors may be required or elect to divest control of our subsidiary banks (through a direct divestiture of our subsidiary banks, a sale by our Sponsor stockholder of its investment in us or a reduction by our Sponsors of their investment in our Sponsor stockholder) or may cause us to restrict the future activities of our subsidiary banks in order to take advantage of the limited grandfathering provisions of the bills. The timing and provisions of any federal legislation regarding industrial bank holding companies is uncertain.

Our business could be adversely affected by changes in governmental fiscal and monetary policies.

          Our business and earnings are significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the United States government and its agencies and similar governmental authorities and agencies in markets outside the United States in which we or our customers operate. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. The Federal Reserve's policies influence the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in those policies are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our senior credit facility, our bridge loan, our notes and other financing arrangements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

          Our senior credit facility, our bridge loan, our notes and other financing arrangements impose, and the terms of our future indebtedness may impose, operating and other restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. Those restrictions affect or will affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

    change our core lines of business;

    incur, assume or guarantee certain types of additional indebtedness;

    create liens over our assets;

    enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and

    effect mergers, consolidations or sales of assets.

If we are required to register under the Investment Company Act, our ability to conduct our business could be materially adversely affected.

          The Investment Company Act of 1940, or the "Investment Company Act," contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which "investment companies" are permitted to conduct their business activities. We have conducted and intend to continue to conduct our business in a manner that does not result in our company or any of our subsidiaries being characterized as an investment company. There are a number of possible exceptions from registration under the Investment Company Act that we believe apply to us and our subsidiaries and which we believe make it possible for us not to be subject to regulation as an investment company. For example, bank subsidiaries are exempt from the definition of an investment company, and the Investment Company Act exempts entities that are primarily engaged in the business of "purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate."

36



Under current interpretations, an entity can meet that exception by maintaining at least 55% of its assets directly in mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate, which we refer to as "qualifying interests," and an additional 25% of its assets in real estate related assets. We believe that our subsidiaries can rely on the foregoing exceptions or others. The requirement that some of our subsidiaries maintain 55% of their assets in qualifying interests or satisfy another exception may inhibit our ability to acquire certain kinds of assets or to conduct certain activities in the future, which could negatively impact our business.

We increasingly face conflicts of interest when carrying out our business activities. A failure to disclose and address any conflict in an appropriate manner could adversely affect our reputation.

          Our reputation is one of our most important assets. As we have expanded the scope of our business and our customer base, we have increasingly been presented with potential conflicts of interest. For example, we are subject to potential conflicts of interest in the allocation of investment opportunities between our balance sheet and our investment funds. In connection with our lending, capital markets and investment advisory activities, we may also make investments that are senior or junior to participations in the investments made by our customers. Accordingly, in certain cases, such as non-performing investments, we might have rights and interests that differ from or are adverse to, the rights and interests of our clients. For example, we may hold loans or bonds that have been used to finance a property in which one or more of our investment funds or LIHTC funds has an equity interest. Similar issues can arise if we act as servicer for a loan owned by a third party that is secured by real estate in which our company or our investment funds hold an equity interest or a senior or junior secured debt position. Appropriately dealing with conflicts of interest is complex and difficult and our reputation could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with conflicts of interest.

          In addition, the SEC, FINRA and other regulatory bodies have increased their scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest. While our bank, investment advisory and broker-dealer subsidiaries have policies and procedures in place that are intended to ensure that any potential conflicts of interest are appropriately addressed, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to litigation or enforcement actions. The heightened regulatory scrutiny of, and litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest could make our clients less willing to enter into transactions in which a conflict might occur and could adversely affect our business.

Changes in existing government sponsored and federal mortgage programs could negatively affect our business.

          Our ability to generate income through mortgage sales to institutional investors depends in part on programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA, which facilitate the issuance of mortgage-backed securities in the secondary market. Any discontinuation of, or significant reduction in, the operation of those programs could have a material adverse effect on our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking and servicing businesses and our results of operations. Also, any significant adverse change in the level of activity in the secondary market or the underwriting criteria of these entities would negatively impact our net income and cash flow.

The loss of or changes in our relationships with GSEs and federal agencies would have an adverse effect on our business.

          Our status as an approved seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and our status as an FHA-approved mortgagee and issuer of Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities afford us a number of advantages and may be terminated by the counterparty. The loss of any such status would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, could result in a loss of similar approvals from other GSEs or federal agencies and could have other adverse consequences to our

37



business. In addition, if Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or HUD were to invite a significant number of our competitors to participate in their programs, our competitive position and results of operations could suffer.

We have businesses that generate significant income from tax-favored investments, and changes in law or tax rates can reduce the income of those businesses by decreasing the attractiveness of those products.

          Our tax-favored investment products are generally attractive because of the additional returns that they generate for investors compared to taxable investments. Changes in applicable tax laws or the application or interpretation of applicable tax laws could reduce or eliminate the benefits of these investment products. In addition, reductions in overall tax rates can reduce the tax benefits associated with our tax-favored investment products. A reduction in the tax benefits associated with these products could limit the market for these products, thereby reducing the amount of income that we may generate from future sales of these products.

Our sponsorship of NMTC funds is subject to unique risks that could impact our business and results of operations.

          We sponsor new markets tax credit funds, which we refer to as "NMTC funds," that make investments in qualifying community development entities, or "CDEs," that receive new markets tax credit allocations as part of a federal program. In order for the fund investors to receive the benefit of these tax credits, the CDE must comply with program rules. Among other things, these rules impose periodic reporting requirements for the CDE and stipulate that substantially all of the CDE's capital be continuously deployed (subject to applicable grace periods) in qualifying investments throughout a seven-year compliance period (for purposes of compliance, losses on the CDE's investments are considered permanently deployed). A failure to satisfy these requirements may result in a loss of the tax credits and a recapture of any tax benefits that have been previously realized by an investor. As a sponsor of NMTC funds, we are responsible for ensuring that our funds comply with these requirements. A failure by us to satisfy these requirements could impair our ability to sponsor NMTC funds in the future and could require us to indemnify our fund investors for losses that they suffer due to our non-compliance, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Liabilities under environmental laws may expose us to losses or limit our ability to foreclose on properties securing loans.

          Under various United States federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner of real estate (including, in certain circumstances, a secured lender that succeeds to ownership or control of a property) may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, under or in its property. Those laws typically impose cleanup responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or control party knew of or was responsible for the release or presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial. The owner or control party of a site also may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site. Certain environmental laws also impose liability in connection with the handling of or exposure to asbestos-containing materials, pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners of real properties for personal injuries associated with asbestos-containing materials. Absent succeeding to ownership or control of real property, a secured lender is not likely to be subject to any of these forms of environmental liability. However, real estate investments in which we hold an ownership interest, either by exercise of our remedies as a secured lender or by an equity

38



investment, can subject us to environmental liability. Potential environmental liabilities may also prevent us from foreclosing on properties that secure our loans.

Risks Relating to the Notes

We are a holding company and we depend upon cash from our subsidiaries to service our debt. If we do not receive cash distributions, dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make payments on the notes.

          We are a holding company and all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings and cash flows of, and cash distributions, dividends and other payments from, our subsidiaries to provide the funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations, including making required payments on the notes. If we do not receive cash distributions, dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to pay the principal of or interest on the notes. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries who are or will be subsidiary guarantors of the notes are holding companies that will rely on subsidiaries of their own as a source of funds to meet any obligations that might arise under their guarantees. Generally, the ability of a subsidiary to make cash available to its parent is affected by its own results of operations and is subject to applicable laws and contractual restrictions contained in its debt instruments and other agreements. There may be restrictions on payments by our subsidiaries to us under applicable laws, including minimum capital requirements applicable to our bank and broker dealer subsidiaries and other laws that require companies to maintain minimum amounts of capital and to make payments to stockholders only from profits. As a result, although our subsidiaries may have cash, we or our subsidiary guarantors may be unable to obtain that cash to satisfy our obligations under the notes or our subsidiaries' obligations under the guarantees, as applicable.

Only certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the notes and the assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries may not be available for making payments on the notes.

          The notes are not guaranteed by any of our foreign subsidiaries (other than one of our Bermudian subsidiaries), our less than wholly owned subsidiaries or many of our other domestic subsidiaries. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide us or our subsidiary guarantors with funds to meet their payment obligations under the notes, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, claims of holders of the notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors. All obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of those subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to us or another subsidiary that guarantees the notes. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries have outstanding a material amount of indebtedness and other liabilities that is structurally senior to claims of holders of the notes and guarantees. For financial information concerning us, the subsidiary guarantors as a group and the non-guarantor subsidiaries as a group, see Note 29 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 24 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Your right to receive payments on the notes and the guarantees is effectively junior to holders of any secured obligations.

          Our obligations under the notes and our subsidiary guarantors' obligations under their guarantees are unsecured. Although our obligations under our senior credit facility and bridge loan are similarly unsecured and we have not granted security interests in any of our company's assets, certain of our subsidiary guarantors have outstanding obligations for which they have pledged assets as collateral, including obligations under other financing arrangements and agreements

39



entered into in connection with some of our LIHTC funds. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements and Other Funding Sources." As of March 31, 2008, our subsidiary guarantors had $564.5 million of secured obligations that would have been effectively senior to their guarantees of the notes. The indentures governing the notes, under certain circumstances, permit our company and the subsidiary guarantors to incur additional secured indebtedness in the future without providing similar security in respect of the notes. Because the notes and the guarantees are unsecured obligations, your ability to receive payments on the notes may be compromised if any of the following situations occur:

    we or any of the subsidiary guarantors enter into bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding-up proceedings;

    there is a default in the payment under a secured obligation of our company or a subsidiary guarantor; or

    there is an acceleration of any payments due under a secured obligation of our company or a subsidiary guarantor.

          If any of these events occurs, holders of a secured obligation could foreclose on and sell the assets in which they have been granted a security interest, to your exclusion, even if an event of default exists under the indentures at that time. As a result, upon the occurrence of any of these events, there may not be sufficient funds to pay amounts due on the notes and the guarantees.

Federal or state laws allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void debts, including guarantees, and could require holders of the notes to return payments received from our subsidiary guarantors.

          Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the incurrence of the guarantees. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state, the guarantees could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (1) the subsidiary guarantors incurred the guarantees with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) the subsidiary guarantors received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for incurring the guarantees and, in the case of (2) only, one of the following is also true at the time of the guarantees:

    the relevant subsidiary guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the guarantee;

    the incurrence of the guarantee left the relevant subsidiary guarantor with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on its business;

    the relevant subsidiary guarantor intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts beyond its ability to pay as the debts mature; or

    the relevant subsidiary guarantor was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it if, after final judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied.

          If a court were to find that the incurrence of a guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under that guarantee or subordinate that guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of the applicable subsidiary guarantor or require the holders of the notes to repay any amounts received from the subsidiary guarantor.

We are controlled by our Sponsors whose interests may differ from your interests.

          As of the date of this prospectus, our Sponsor stockholder holds approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock and, as a result of its stockholdings and the terms of a stockholders

40



agreement it has entered into with our company and GMAC, is able to control the election of a majority of our directors and significantly influence our business and affairs. The interests of our Sponsors and their affiliates could conflict with your interests. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of our Sponsor stockholder as an equity holder might conflict with your interests as a holder of notes. Our Sponsors and their affiliates also may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though those transactions might involve risks to you as a holder of notes. In addition, our Sponsors or their affiliates own, operate or have interests in businesses that directly compete with our company, such as KKR Financial Holdings, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Five Mile Capital Partners and the Dune Funds and may in the future own, operate or have interests in competing businesses.

Our ability to repurchase notes upon a ratings downgrade in connection with a change of control may be limited.

          Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, which is a triggering event involving both a Change of Control and a downgrade of the ratings of the notes of a particular series below investment grade by each of Moody's, S&P and Fitch, each holder of notes of that series will have the right to require us to repurchase the holder's notes. If a Change of Control Triggering Event were to occur, but we did not have sufficient funds to pay the repurchase price for all of the notes which were tendered, that failure would constitute an event of default under the applicable indenture. Therefore, the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event at a time when we could not pay for notes which were tendered as a result of the Change of Control Triggering Event could result in holders of notes receiving substantially less than the principal amount of the notes.

If we redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in alternative investments at the same rate as provided by the notes.

          We may redeem the 2010 floating rate notes in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after November 10, 2008 at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We may redeem the fixed rate notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, subject to the payment of a make whole premium, if any, as described under the heading "Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption." If we redeem the notes early, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in alternative investments at the same rate as provided by the notes.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the notes.

          We do not intend to apply for a listing of the notes on a securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. There is currently no established market for the notes. The absence of a market for the notes could adversely affect the liquidity of the notes, your ability to sell the notes or the price at which you would be able to sell the notes. If such markets were to exist, the notes could trade at prices that may be lower than their principal amount or purchase price depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our financial and operating performance and other factors. The initial purchasers of the notes have advised us that they currently intend to make a market with respect to the notes. However, these initial purchasers are not obligated to do so, and any market making with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, such market making activity may be limited during certain periods as provided in the registration rights agreement among our company and the initial purchasers of the notes, dated May 10, 2007. Therefore, an active market for the notes may not develop or, if developed, may not continue. The market, if any, for the notes may experience disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes.

          Forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us or are within our control. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations include the risks and uncertainties set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus as well as the following:

    the risk that we will be unable to access capital on acceptable terms;

    changes in the commercial real estate market or general industry, economic, financial, market or business conditions, which could result in, among other things, a decline in credit quality, reduced demand for our products and services, including the resulting negative effects on our loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses and declines in value of our equity investments;

    fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads or other changes in the real estate debt capital markets, including declines in the prices of or demand for purchases of commercial mortgage loans or securities backed by commercial mortgage loans, such as CMBS and commercial mortgage CDOs;

    risks that we may not be able to effectively execute our distribution strategies;

    increases in the rates of default or decreases in the rates of recovery on loans or investment securities that we carry as assets on our balance sheet;

    the risk that our hedging activities may be ineffective or inadequate;

    currency risks and other risks associated with international markets;

    risks arising from material weaknesses in our control environment, including material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which could result in, among other things, a restatement of our financial statements;

    changes in laws, regulations and accounting standards that are applicable to our businesses;

    our ability to effectively execute our plans to achieve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and take advantage of income growth opportunities;

42


    the possibility that we will be unable to manage potential mismatches between our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities; and

    risks posed by our competition.

Notes:

(1)
Collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts are long-term asset-backed financings that are non-recourse and have maturities that match the maturities of the underlying collateral.

(2)
"Mezzanine equity" consists of common stock that was purchased by our employees and directors. We have classified this common stock as mezzanine equity rather than stockholders' equity, because it is redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements."

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

          The selected historical financial data in the table as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been derived from our unaudited successor condensed consolidated financial statements and the selected historical financial data in the table as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006 have been derived from our audited successor consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we were required to revalue our assets and liabilities as of March 23, 2006 using "push down" accounting as described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results." The financial statements listed above have been prepared after applying the push down method of accounting. The selected historical financial data in the table as of and for the 81 days ended March 22, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 have been derived from our audited predecessor consolidated financial statements, which were prepared using our historical basis of accounting. You should read the following data in conjunction with the discussion and analysis under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In the opinion of management, the interim financial data set forth below include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2008 and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Notes:

(1)
Our company effected a stock split in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. Per share data for the predecessor periods are computed based upon the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the Sponsor Transactions applied to our historical net income amounts and gives effect to the stock split. Amounts for the successor periods are computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period applied to our historical net income amounts.

(2)
The calculations of diluted net (loss) income per share exclude anti-dilutive stock options with time-based vesting conditions and stock options with performance-based vesting conditions because the performance conditions had not been achieved at the end of the respective reporting periods. No dilutive instruments were issued prior to March 23, 2006.

(3)
"Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage pursuant to contractual or regulatory requirements in the amounts of $227.2 million as of March 31, 2008, and $232.3 million, $251.4 million, $148.5 million, $146.5 million and $258.8 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

(4)
"Investment securities" consist of investment securities classified as trading, available for sale or held to maturity.

(5)
"Loans, net" consist of loans held for sale and loans held for investment, net of our valuation allowance on loans held for sale prior to the adoption of fair value accounting on January 1, 2008 and our allowance for loan losses on loans held for investment. Effective January 1, 2008, substantially all of our loans held for sale are carried at fair value.

(6)
"Mezzanine equity" consists of common stock purchased by our employees and directors. We have classified this common stock as mezzanine equity rather than stockholders' equity, because the common stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements."

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Data," "Risk Factors" and the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements." Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In addition, as further described under "—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results," information contained in this prospectus setting forth consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2006 presents a mathematical combination of predecessor and successor results for portions of that period. Although this presentation does not comply with GAAP, we believe it provides the most meaningful comparison of our consolidated results for the three years ended December 31, 2007 because it allows us to compare our consolidated results over equivalent periods of time.

          Our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" is organized as follows:

    Overview (page 49). This section provides a general description of our business and our six business segments.

    Basis of Presentation (page 50). This section provides a discussion of the presentation of our consolidated results, including a detailed discussion of the application of "push down" accounting to our company in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, and the presentation of our segment results, including a detailed discussion of the difference between the reporting methodology we apply to our segment results and the reporting methodology we apply to our consolidated results.

    Understanding Our Financial Results (page 57). This section presents an overview of the drivers of our financial results, including the drivers of the major line items in our consolidated statement of operations, namely net interest income, provision for loan losses, noninterest income, noninterest expense, minority interest and income taxes. This section also discusses the impact of our LIHTC operations on our financial results and the consolidation of our LIHTC partnerships.

    Outlook and Recent Trends (page 72). This section discusses recent adverse events in the debt capital markets and their possible impact on companies such as ours.

    Results of Operations (page 73). This section presents our detailed analysis of our consolidated and segment results of operations including a comparison of those results for the periods covered by the financial statements contained in this prospectus and a discussion of information that we believe is meaningful to an understanding of our results of operations on both a company-wide basis and for each of our six business segments.

    Critical Accounting Estimates (page 93). This section discusses those accounting estimates that we consider important to our financial condition and results of operations and that require us to exercise subjective or complex judgments in making estimates and assumptions.

    Recently Issued Accounting Standards (page 104). This section provides a summary of the most recent authoritative accounting standards and guidance that either have been recently adopted by us or may be adopted by us in the future.

48


    Liquidity and Capital Resources (page 106). This section provides an analysis of our liquidity and cash flows and discusses our asset sale capabilities, credit ratings, financing arrangements, as well as our available funding sources.

    Commitments and Contractual Obligations (page 117). This section discusses the various commitments and contractual obligations relating to our business.

    Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions (page 119). This section discusses guarantees and other off-balance sheet transactions to which we have been party, including with respect to securitizations.

    Risk Management (page 122). This section describes our risk management approach as well as our credit risk management, market risk management and operational risk management. It also discusses management's remediation plan for identified internal control weaknesses.

    Economic Capital (page 135). This section discusses "economic capital," i.e. the amount of equity capital that is allocated to our business units to absorb unexpected losses that may arise from credit, market and operational risks and to protect our company from insolvency.

Overview

          We are a leading commercial real estate finance company that operates in North America, Asia and Europe in three core business lines: commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking; investments and funds management; and servicing. As commercial real estate finance specialists, we provide our borrowers, investors and other customers with a broad range of commercial real estate financial products and services, which we strive to tailor to our customers' particular needs. As of March 31, 2008, we had over 2,000 employees located in 55 offices worldwide.

          We originated $2.7 billion and $29.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of financing during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. Our global primary, master and special servicing portfolio included more than 54,000 loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $380.2 billion as of March 31, 2008 compared to $371.7 billion as of December 31, 2007. Real estate related assets under management were approximately $10.2 billion as of March 31, 2008 compared to $10.3 billion as of December 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, our total assets were $23.6 billion and our stockholders' equity was $2.3 billion.

          For management reporting purposes, we conduct our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management and servicing businesses through six business segments. These business segments, which are organized based on geography and the type of business conducted, consist of:

    North American Lending and Mortgage Banking;

    North American Investments and Funds Management;

    North American Servicing;

    Asian Operations;

    European Operations; and

    North American Affordable Housing.

Basis of Presentation

Presentation of Our Consolidated Results

          We accounted for the Sponsor Transactions as a purchase by our Sponsor stockholder and some of our employees in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and SAB 54. Push down accounting requires the new cost basis of our Sponsor stockholder and our employees in our assets and liabilities be "pushed down" into our consolidated financial statements. Under push down accounting, we revalued our assets and liabilities as of March 23, 2006 and adjusted amounts in our consolidated balance sheet as of that date to reflect the purchase price that our Sponsor stockholder and our employees paid for their equity in our company. In connection with this revaluation, we allocated the aggregate purchase price paid by our Sponsor stockholder and our employees for their 79% interest in our company to our assets and liabilities based on the fair value of our assets and liabilities as of March 23, 2006. Due to the continuing nature of GMAC's approximately 21% interest in our company, GMAC's interest in our assets and liabilities continued to be reflected on a historical basis in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006. As a result of the application of push down accounting, the assets and liabilities were reflected based on a "blended value," 79% of which reflected the fair value of those assets and liabilities on March 23, 2006 and 21% of which reflected GMAC's historical basis in those assets and liabilities. As explained in more detail below, changes in the carrying value of our assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 have had and will continue to have impacts on certain line items in our consolidated statements of income. For example, the increases in the carrying value of assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 that resulted from push down accounting have had and are expected to continue to have a negative impact on our net income as compared to what our net income would have been had push down accounting not been applied. Correspondingly, increases in the carrying value of liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 that resulted from push down accounting have had and are expected to continue to have a positive impact on our net income as compared to what our net income would have been had push down accounting not been applied.

          Although our company continued to exist as the same legal entity after the completion of the Sponsor Transactions, as a result of the application of push down accounting, we are required to present consolidated financial statements for "predecessor" and "successor" periods. Our predecessor periods relate to the accounting periods preceding the Sponsor Transactions in which we applied a historical basis of accounting. Our successor periods relate to the accounting periods following the Sponsor Transactions in which we have applied push down accounting. To enhance the comparability of our consolidated results, we have mathematically combined our predecessor consolidated results for the 81 days ended March 22, 2006 and our successor consolidated results for the 284 days ended December 31, 2006. Although this presentation does not comply with GAAP, we believe it provides the most meaningful comparison of our consolidated results for the three years ended December 31, 2007 because it allows us to compare our consolidated results over equivalent periods of time. Although we believe the foregoing presentation provides the most meaningful presentation for comparing our annual results, you should nonetheless bear in mind that the consolidated financial statements for our predecessor and successor periods have been prepared using different bases of accounting and, accordingly, are not directly comparable to one another.

          The significant effects of the application of push down accounting in our successor condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and in our successor

50



consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284-day period ended December 31, 2006 include:

    Mortgage Loans. We increased the carrying value of mortgage loans on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $71.8 million, primarily representing 79% of the excess of the fair value of those mortgage loans over their carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Due to this increase, we have recorded and expect to continue to record lower interest income from accretion on acquired non-performing loans and lower net gains on the sale of those mortgage loans for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions. This impact on our consolidated statement of operations will diminish over time as the remaining balance of the revalued mortgage loans decreases. We generally hold mortgage loans for periods ranging from a few months to several years. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, income that we recorded on those mortgage loans was reduced by $2.6 million, $14.2 million and $66.8 million, respectively, compared to what we would have recorded on a historical basis of accounting.

    Real Estate and Equity Investments. We increased the carrying value of real estate and equity investments on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $265.4 million, primarily representing 79% of the excess of the fair value of our real estate and equity investments over the carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Due to this increase, we have recorded and expect to continue to record lower net gains on the sale of those investments and lower income from equity investments for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions. This impact on our consolidated statement of operations will diminish over time as the remaining balance of the revalued real estate and equity investments decreases. Our holding periods for real estate and equity investments typically last several years. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, our net gains and income from equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships were reduced by $4.2 million, $57.0 million and $147.2 million, respectively, less $0.3 million, $2.3 million and $34.0 million, respectively, of related minority interest income, compared to what we would have recorded on a historical basis of accounting.

    Mortgage Servicing Rights. We increased the carrying value of our mortgage servicing rights on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $216.6 million, primarily representing 79% of the excess of the fair value of those mortgage servicing rights over their carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Due to this increase, we have recorded and expect to continue to record higher amortization expense with respect to those mortgage servicing rights and lower net gains on sale of those mortgage servicing rights for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions. This impact on our consolidated statement of operations will gradually decline over the remaining life of the mortgage servicing rights that were revalued. The estimated weighted average life for our servicing portfolio was approximately six years as of the time of the revaluation of those mortgage servicing rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, our amortization expense was increased by $6.8 million, $23.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively, and our net gains from the sale of mortgage servicing rights were reduced by $2.9 million and $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, respectively, in each case compared to what we would have recorded on a historical basis of accounting.

    Deferred Tax Assets and Current Tax Liabilities. We decreased the carrying value of our deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by

51


      $90.6 million and increased the carrying value of our current tax liability (reflected on our consolidated balance sheet under "Accounts payable and other liabilities") by $28.5 million, primarily relating to certain tax adjustments and the tax effects of the adjustments that we made to the carrying values of our assets and liabilities in connection with the application of push down accounting. A component of the deferred tax adjustments resulting from push down accounting was a $115.4 million increase in deferred tax assets relating to a reclassification of an intercompany receivable from GMAC, offset by a $62.5 million foreign tax credit valuation allowance recorded against this asset. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions and deconsolidation from the General Motors Corporation consolidated tax group, the intercompany receivable was converted to a deferred tax asset. In addition, we increased current tax liabilities by $28.5 million for the repatriation of foreign income. These tax adjustments will have a positive impact on our income tax provision for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions as compared with the income tax provision we would have recorded on a historical basis of accounting.

    Intangible Assets. We increased the carrying value of intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $154.3 million, primarily representing 79% of the fair value of new intangible assets identified at the time of the Sponsor Transactions. These intangible assets consist of customer relationships and contracts, primarily relating to our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment. Due to this increase, we have recorded and expect to continue to record higher amortization expense with respect to our intangible assets for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions. These newly created intangible assets will be amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 12 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, our amortization expense was increased by $2.5 million, $13.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively, and our net gains were reduced by $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

    Other Assets. We increased the carrying value of goodwill on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $1.5 million, primarily representing $48.8 million of new goodwill recorded as a result of the Sponsor Transactions, partially offset by the reduction of 79% of the historical goodwill balance. In addition, we increased the carrying value of property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $21.9 million, primarily representing 79% of the excess of the fair value of our property and equipment over the carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Also, as further described above, we converted a $115.4 million intercompany receivable from General Motors Corporation to a deferred tax asset as a result of our deconsolidation from the General Motors Corporation consolidated tax group. Unrelated to push down accounting, we recorded cash on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 of $70.4 million from the issuance of shares of our common stock to employees, and we capitalized $46.1 million in debt issuance costs relating to fees paid to our Sponsors in connection with the closing of the senior credit facility and bridge loan with a syndicate of primarily unaffiliated banks at March 23, 2006. Our goodwill impairment expense was reduced by $1.4 million and $7.8 million, during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

    LIHTC Yield Guarantees. We increased the carrying value of LIHTC-related liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $401.7 million, primarily representing 79% of the excess of the fair value of our LIHTC yield guarantees over their carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. The fair value of the LIHTC guarantee liability reflects the estimated premium a third party would have required in an arm's length

52


      transaction to assume the risks and uncertainties in the LIHTC guarantee arrangement above and beyond the expected losses that were probable and could be reasonably estimated. The amount of this fair value liability, together with these existing expected losses that were probable and reasonably estimable and accordingly already reflected as a liability in our historical balance sheet, was recorded on the opening balance sheet under purchase accounting. The amount in Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities is reduced for actual costs that we incur to deliver the guaranteed yield or when it is determined that the likelihood or amount of future payments and costs under the guarantees has been reduced. If and when probable and estimable losses exceed the total guarantee liability related to a particular guaranteed fund, the liability related to that fund is increased, with a corresponding charge to earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, the losses relating to our LIHTC yield guarantees were reduced by $8.0 million, $58.3 million and $147.3 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $6.2 million, $31.4 million and $29.0 million, respectively, were attributable to the amortization of a portion of the newly established liability to net income and $1.8 million, $26.9 million and $118.3 million, respectively, offset losses that we otherwise would have recorded as a result of our LIHTC yield guarantees. See "—Understanding Our Financial Results—Impact of LIHTC Operations."

    Liabilities Relating to Compensation. We increased the carrying value of our compensation-related liabilities (reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a component of accounts payable and other liabilities) as of March 23, 2006 by $60.8 million, representing the full amount of certain employee severance costs that were attributable to the Sponsor Transactions and 79% of the excess of the fair value of certain deferred compensation arrangements over their carrying value immediately prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Due to this increase, we have recorded and expect to continue to record lower compensation expense for accounting periods after the Sponsor Transactions, primarily over the next three years. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, our compensation expense was reduced by $3.8 million, $10.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, excluding acquisition-related compensation and benefits expenses that we incurred in connection with the Sponsor Transactions.

    Minority Interest. We increased the carrying value of minority interest on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 by $38.4 million, relating primarily to the increases in the carrying value of certain real estate related investments where we do not own 100% of the asset. Due to this increase, we expect to record higher minority interest income during our successor accounting periods, primarily in 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006, our minority interest income was increased by $0.3 million, $2.3 million and $34.0 million, respectively.

          The following table presents the impact of the push down accounting adjustments described above on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2006 and on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006.

Notes:

(1)
Amounts presented reflect the pre-tax impact of push down accounting, except for the cumulative impact on income tax provision and the cumulative impact on net income, which are impacted by deferred tax assets and current tax liabilities. The impact of push down accounting on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the year ended December 31, 2007 and the 284 days ended December 31, 2006 does not include the effects of acquisition-related expenses that we incurred in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. The amounts above do not reflect the impact of the adoption of Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" on January 1, 2007. See "—Critical Accounting Estimates—Accounting for Income Taxes."

(2)
"Other liabilities" consist of borrowings, deposit liabilities, and accounts payable and other liabilities relating primarily to compensation and current tax liabilities.

Presentation of Our Segment Results

          We present the results of operations for our six business segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," or "SFAS No. 131." This standard is based on a management approach, which requires presentation of our segments based upon our organization and internal reporting of results of operations.

          When considering the segment information included in this prospectus, you should keep in mind that our segment results have been prepared using a reporting methodology that is different

54



from the reporting methodology used in our consolidated financial statements and, as a result, are not directly comparable to our consolidated results. In particular:

    Corporate Functions, Allocation of Interest Expense and Immaterial Businesses. Our segment results do not reflect the expenses of our corporate administrative and support functions, which generally consist of personnel related expenses for our corporate finance, legal, human resources, information technology, risk management and internal audit departments. Interest expense on our debt is allocated to business segments but does not result in a full allocation of the expense. Any unallocated interest expense is included within Corporate and Other for purposes of our segment reporting. The methodology for allocation of interest expense is based on business segment balance sheets, in which debt is allocated based on the difference between total segment assets and total segment economic capital. See "—Economic Capital." We apply a cost of funds to this implied debt amount, which generally varies based upon the risk of the underlying assets. Lastly, certain immaterial operating business results are also included in Corporate and Other rather than in our segment results. See "Business—Other Business Activities."

    Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships. Our segment results do not consolidate the results of any upper-tier or lower-tier LIHTC partnerships that we are required to consolidate in our consolidated financial statements under SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" or "SFAS No. 66," or FIN 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," or "FIN 46(R)." For a description of the effects of the consolidation of these entities on our consolidated financial statements, see "—Understanding Our Financial Results—Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships."

    Push Down Accounting Adjustments. Consistent with our management reporting, our segment results do not reflect the push down accounting adjustments that we were required to make to our consolidated financial statements in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. For a description of the effects of these adjustments on our consolidated financial statements, see "—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results."

    Elimination of Intersegment Transactions. Our segment results do not eliminate the effects of transactions between or among our business segments. These transactions generally result in one or more segments recording income and one or more other segments recording offsetting expenses with respect to the products or services provided.

    Deferral of Placement Fees. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008, we no longer defer recognition of placement fees and direct loan origination costs with respect to substantially all of our loans held for sale because such loans are carried at fair value. We continue to defer recognition of placement fees and direct loan origination costs (primarily compensation and benefits) with respect to our loans held for investment. The deferral of these fees and costs has the effect of reducing the amount of placement fee revenue and noninterest expense, respectively, that we report in our consolidated statement of operations. The resulting net deferred revenue or cost for each loan held for investment is recognized as a component of interest income over the contractual life of the loan. For purposes of our segment reporting, we recognize the full amount of placement fees as noninterest income and the full amount of direct loan origination costs as a component of noninterest expense. The net difference between deferred fees and costs (which can be net deferred revenue or net deferred costs for any particular period) is presented for segment reporting purposes as a component of the segment's noninterest expense. While the use of different accounting methodologies results in the recognition of different levels of noninterest income and noninterest expense during an accounting period, the income before income taxes presented for segment reporting purposes and in our consolidated financial statements is the same.

55


          The following tables present summary financial information for each of our six business segments as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The table also presents reconciling amounts that were included in Corporate and Other to reconcile management's reporting of our segment financial information to amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. For additional reconciliations of management's reporting of segment financial information to amounts included in our consolidated financial statements, see Note 25 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 20 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Understanding Our Financial Results

          As a commercial real estate finance company, our ability to generate income and cash flow is highly dependent on the volumes of financing that we originate, our ability to securitize, sell, participate or otherwise finance our loans and the spreads we generate on our interest-earning assets. In addition, our financial performance is driven by, among other things, our ability to increase the size of our servicing portfolio and the amount of real estate related assets under our management. The success of our origination activities impacts our level of placement fees and net interest income and impacts the amount of loans that we have available for future sale and servicing opportunities, which in turn affects our levels of net gains and fee-based income. Our ability to increase the size of our servicing portfolio, which is also driven by the level of our origination and distribution activities as well as the volume of mortgage servicing rights that we acquire, affects the level of servicing fees that we earn and income that we derive from escrow balances, each of which provide us with an important source of recurring income and which, in the case of special servicing, provides us with a source of counter-cyclical income and in the case of earnings on escrow balances, tend to partially offset the negative impact on origination fees in a rising interest rate environment. Our business is also dependent on the amount of our assets under management as well as on changes in the values of our real estate related assets, which impact the levels of fee-based income and net gains or losses that we recognize.

          The amount of financing that we arrange, the number of servicing opportunities that are presented to us, the spreads we generate on our interest-earning assets and the gains or losses we realize on sales of our assets are subject to various factors. These factors include availability of funding sources, cost of capital, changes in the interest rate environment, CMBS spreads, commercial real estate prices, levels of supply and demand for commercial real estate and real estate related investments, competition in our industry and the condition of local and national economies. These factors also affect our estimates of loan losses and other items affecting

57



expected cash flows from our assets and our related valuation of those assets. As a consequence of these factors, particularly changes in interest rates and credit spreads, activity of our business lines may be cyclical. We seek to mitigate the effects of market and other external factors on our business by maintaining a revenue base that is diversified among business activities, real estate asset classes and geographical areas. We also seek to take advantage of specific market opportunities, which may cause our results to fluctuate from period to period. For a discussion of the effects that recent market developments may have on our business activities, see "—Outlook and Recent Trends."

Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements

          The consolidated financial statements and financial information as of and for the 284 days ended December 31, 2006 and the three years ended December 31, 2005 included in this prospectus were previously restated as a result of reviews conducted by our management. The 2006 restatement did not impact our historical total assets, stockholders' equity or cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006, or net income or earnings per share for any period.

          The restatement adjustments for the periods from 2003 through 2005 consisted of multiple individual adjustments, the more significant of which related to (1) the reversal of sale accounting for certain securitization transactions, (2) the reversal of hedge accounting on certain hedge relationships due primarily to insufficient documentation of the assessment of expected hedge effectiveness or ineffectiveness, (3) adjustments to our recording of the timing of compensation expense for certain incentive compensation awards, (4) the deferral of syndication fees which had been recognized as income prematurely and (5) the correction of an understatement of the valuation allowance for certain loans classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2003.

Net Interest Income

          Our net interest income represents the difference between the amount of interest that we earn on our interest-earning assets and the amount of interest that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income is driven by the principal amount of interest-earning assets and interest-earning liabilities that we hold on our consolidated balance sheet and the changes in the spread between the two. These drivers in turn depend on our origination volumes, the length of time that we hold interest-earning assets on our consolidated balance sheet, the yields that we earn on interest-earning assets and our funding costs, which in turn are affected by changes in prevailing interest rates, our credit ratings, demand for commercial real estate financing and general business, economic and market conditions.

          Beginning in the year ended December 31, 2004, we implemented an economic capital model that resulted in a repositioning of our balance sheet during 2005 and 2006 away from higher risk assets that typically provide for higher yields and focused on reducing the principal risk associated with our lending activities by monetizing a significant portion of the financing that we originate through asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations. See "—Economic Capital." The implementation of this model decreased the contribution that net interest income made to our net income and increased the portion of our earnings derived from fee-based sources of income and net gains from the sale of assets. However, in light of the disruption in the credit and securitization markets since July 2007, we have begun to retain a greater portion of the loans we have originated in recent periods on our balance sheet for longer periods of time, which resulted in an increase in our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. However, net interest income was $61.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $83.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decline was primarily due to lower average spreads on interest earning assets and a reduction of accretion income on acquired non-performing loans year over year. The decline in

58



spread income was largely offset by gains on interest rate hedges included in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The reduction in accretion income on acquired non-performing loans was driven by resolutions or sales of such loans during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and fewer acquisitions thereafter.

          The following table presents our net interest income for the periods indicated.

Interest Income

          We earn interest income primarily from the loans that we originate and hold for sale or investment, from the accretion of income on non-performing loans that we acquire at a discount to their face value and from the investment securities that we carry on our consolidated balance sheet. The investment securities that we carry on our consolidated balance sheet consist primarily of our retained interests in securitization transactions, tax-exempt securities that we acquire in connection with our affordable housing lending activities, certain Japanese securities, or "TMK securities," securities backed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, U.S. Treasury and other securities, and securities that we acquire for short-term trading purposes. In connection with the sale of the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt platform in February 2007, we sold a significant portion of the tax-exempt housing bonds that we owned. Unrelated to that sale, we also sold $746.1 million of tax-exempt bonds related to the tender option bond program and repaid the related financing of $731.6 million.

          We hold both fixed and floating rate assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Because our interest-bearing liabilities are predominately floating rate, our policy is to hedge the interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate assets through the use of derivative instruments and other risk mitigation strategies. However, because most of our derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges, the net gains and losses associated with these derivative instruments generally are not classified as interest income. As a result, we may experience volatility in our net interest income to the extent that our cost of funds increases based on an increase in market rates. We typically securitize, syndicate or sell our fixed rate assets subject to market conditions.

          The following table summarizes our sources of interest income for the periods indicated.

Interest Expense

          Our interest expense consists primarily of amounts we pay third parties under our debt financing arrangements including our notes, interest that accrues on our deposit liabilities and interest that we are required to pay on a portion of the escrow balances with respect to which we earn trust fees or other types of income. Interest expense relating to our deposit liabilities has grown significantly in recent years as a result of an increase in the amount of interest-bearing deposit liabilities maintained by third parties at Capmark Bank, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, our debt financing arrangements consisted primarily of short-term borrowings from GMAC, which generally bore interest at rates based on GMAC's cost of funds, and other short-term borrowings from third parties, many of which were guaranteed by GMAC. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we refinanced all of the outstanding indebtedness we owed GMAC or that had been guaranteed by GMAC with $7.1 billion of borrowings under our senior credit facility and our bridge loan and with trust preferred securities issued to GMAC that are funded with $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount of our junior subordinated debentures.

          In addition, we have long-term asset-backed financings that are non-recourse and that have maturities that match the maturities of the underlying collateral. Those financings are classified as "collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts."

          Following the refinancing of our indebtedness in connection with the Sponsor Transactions and more recently as a result of the overall disruption in the credit markets, our interest expense has increased due to increases in our total indebtedness, changes in the mix of our funding sources and the amortization of debt issuance costs that we capitalized in connection with the Sponsor Transactions.

          On May 10, 2007, we issued $2.55 billion aggregate principal amount of notes in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, having terms substantially identical to the notes offered hereby (except with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest for failure to observe certain obligations in the registration rights agreement) and in exchange for which the notes offered hereby were issued, the net proceeds of which were primarily used to repay indebtedness outstanding under our bridge loan. The weighted average interest rate on these notes is higher than that on our bridge loan. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we purchased $20 million of our Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2010, which were issued on May 10, 2007, in a privately negotiated transaction with a third party.

          We issue both fixed and floating rate borrowings and fixed rate deposit liabilities. Our policy is to generally effectively convert our fixed rate borrowings and deposit liabilities to floating rates through the use of derivative instruments and other risk mitigation strategies. However, because the net gains and losses associated with these derivatives instruments generally are not classified as interest expense, we may experience volatility in our reported amounts of net interest income.

Foreign currency hedges may generate either interest income or interest expense depending on interest rate differentials in various currencies.

Noninterest Income

Net (Losses) Gains

          Our noninterest income includes net realized and unrealized gains and losses on loans; net realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading derivatives and investment securities; net realized gains and losses on real estate and equity investments; and net realized gains and losses resulting from the resolution of non-performing loans acquired in connection with our distressed debt investment activities. Effective January 1, 2008, we carry substantially all of our loans held for sale at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 159. Prior to January 1, 2008, we carried our loans held for sale at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," or "SFAS No. 65." If we are required to write down the value of a loan that we hold for sale as a result of a decrease in the loan's fair value, we reduce our noninterest income by an amount equal to the write down in the carrying value of the loan. This change in fair value is reported as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in our consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded net losses on loans of $357.2 million primarily due to changes in fair value related to our portfolio of loans held for sale driven by adverse market conditions.

          We review our mortgage loan portfolio to determine whether any changes in classification should be made between "held for sale" and "held for investment." Consideration is given to our intent and ability to hold such loans to maturity. In 2007, approximately $4.5 billion of loans identified through this review process were transferred from "held for sale" to "held for investment" at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The amortized cost basis of such loans exceeded estimated fair value at the time of transfer by approximately $76.6 million which is reported as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in the consolidated statement of operations.

          Historically, our most significant source of net gains has been net gains on loans realized in connection with our securitization and syndication activities, which were positively affected during the period from January 1, 2004 through mid-July 2007. In recent periods, market conditions have adversely affected our ability to securitize and syndicate loans and other assets. As a result, we have incurred realized and unrealized net losses in the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 and we generally expect our level of net gains and losses to continue to fluctuate from period to period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007, other gains (losses), net include a gain of approximately $65.3 million on the sale of a majority of our affordable housing debt platform.

Fee and Investment Income

          The majority of our noninterest income is fee-based income that we earn from our three core business lines. Additionally, our noninterest income includes our allocable share of the earnings generated by our interests in joint ventures and partnerships that we account for under the equity method, which primarily consists of our (1) investments in affordable housing partnerships in the U.S., (2) direct investments in real estate equity investment funds in the U.S., (3) investments in various European real estate projects and joint ventures and real estate equity investments in Europe and (4) investments in non-performing loans and real estate joint ventures in Asia. Noninterest income also includes real estate investment income (generally net rental income) that is generated by investments in real property that we are required to consolidate under GAAP and include Asian properties and certain properties owned by our lower-tier LIHTC partnerships.

          Our fee-based income is generally recurring and periodic in nature and driven by, among other things, the volume of our origination activities, the size of our servicing portfolio and the amount of real estate related assets under our management. Our fee-based income consists primarily of the following:

    mortgage servicing fees that we earn when we act as the primary servicer of a loan or the master servicer for securitized loan pools;

    placement fees that we earn when arranging financing for borrowers;

    investment banking fees (such as advisory fees, remarketing fees and management and underwriting fees) that we earn through our lending, tax credit syndication and capital markets activities;

    structuring fees and investment syndication income that we earn when structuring or sponsoring NMTC funds and LIHTC funds;

62


    asset management fees consisting of investment management fees from our investments and funds management business;

    fees that we earn as a special servicer for defaulted loans or as advisor with respect to the resolution of non-performing loans and fees for services performed for NMTC funds and LIHTC funds that we sponsor; and

    trust fees that we earn on escrow balances for loans that we service in North America.

Provision for Loan Losses

          We maintain an allowance for loan losses on our mortgage loans held for investment in order to provide for the risk of loan losses inherent in the lending process. To recognize increases in this allowance, we record a provision for loan losses in our consolidated statement of operations. These provisions are estimates and involve judgment and consideration of a number of factors including: our past loss experience; the current credit composition of our loan portfolio; historical credit migration; property type diversification; default; loss severity; industry loss experience; economic conditions and trends; and other relevant factors.

Noninterest Expense

          Our noninterest expense consists primarily of the compensation and benefits that we pay our employees; amortization charges that we record with respect to our mortgage servicing rights; costs relating to our office space and equipment; professional fees that we pay our legal, accounting and other service providers; and other various expenses, including goodwill impairment charges totaling approximately $64.1 million relating to our LIHTC business in the year ended

63



December 31, 2005. We recorded these charges as a result of a deterioration in the results of operations of our LIHTC business and our implementation of a new business plan for our LIHTC operations as described under "Business—Our Six Business Segments—North American Affordable Housing—LIHTC Funds," which resulted in a significant reduction in our expected future cash flows from the business. See "—Impact of LIHTC Operations."

Primarily consists of expenses related to amortization of intangible assets, data processing and telecommunications, travel and entertainment, goodwill impairment (including goodwill impairment of $64.1 million related to adverse developments in our LIHTC business recorded in 2005), employee-related expenses, property inspection fees, advertising, office supplies, insurance expense, loan processing fees and other miscellaneous expenses.

          Historically, our noninterest expense has been significantly affected by our employee compensation and benefit expenses and costs relating to our office space and equipment. A significant component of our compensation consists of commissions and other incentive compensation that is directly correlated to our revenues. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we recorded $18.1 million of compensation expense related to the early termination of a deferred compensation plan. In addition, as described under "—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results," the application of push down accounting in connection with the Sponsor Transactions resulted in the establishment of a liability for other deferred compensation expense, which is expected to further reduce our compensation and benefit expenses for a three-year period.

          Since the completion of the Sponsor Transactions on March 23, 2006, we have implemented a number of initiatives to reduce our operating costs. These measures have included changing our employee compensation programs to better align employee pay with performance, consolidating our office facilities, reducing our staffing levels, reviewing and renegotiating certain vendor contracts and disposing of certain less profitable operations. These initiatives have contributed to a reduction in our adjusted efficiency ratio in the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to prior years. See "Summary—Summary Financial Information and Other Data."

          Our noninterest expense is also partly driven by changes in the level of the amortization expense that we record with respect to our mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights represent the capitalized value of the right to receive future cash flows from the related servicing activities and are amortized over the estimated life of the related loan or securitization transaction. The amount of amortization charges that we record with respect to our mortgage servicing rights is primarily driven by changes in the volume of mortgage servicing rights that we originate or acquire and adjustments that we make to the carrying value of our mortgage servicing rights during an

64



accounting period. Our amortization expense generally has increased in recent periods due to the growth of our servicing portfolio. We carry mortgage servicing rights at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates (which impact the discount rates that we use when valuing the rights) and tends to decrease when interest rates decline and to increase when interest rates rise. As described under "—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results," the application of push down accounting in connection with the Sponsor Transactions resulted in an increase in the carrying value of our mortgage servicing rights, which has led to a further increase in the amount of amortization expense that we have recorded since March 23, 2006.

Minority Interest

          Our consolidated financial statements include the results of entities in which third parties own an interest. These entities consist primarily of joint ventures that our Asian Operations segment has established for purposes of making investments in non-performing loans as well as our upper-tier and lower-tier LIHTC partnerships. See "—Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships." The consolidation of these entities in our financial statements requires us to recognize all of the revenues and all of the expenses that these entities record during an accounting period. When calculating our net income, the portion of the revenues and expenses of consolidated entities that are attributable to minority investors in those entities is reflected as minority interest income or expense, as appropriate, in our consolidated statement of operations.

Income Taxes

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, we had operated within the GM-controlled tax group under the principles of a tax-sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, we were generally treated as a standalone taxpayer, except with regard to foreign tax credits and net operating losses. We would receive credit for such attributes only if the GM group as a whole could utilize such benefits.

          Upon the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, we became deconsolidated from the GM-controlled tax group. Therefore, we are no longer an eligible member of the GM consolidated tax return for any periods after the date of the Sponsor Transactions. Thus, we are now liable for worldwide taxes based solely on our consolidated operations as a standalone taxpayer. Moreover, based on applicable tax rules, certain tax attributes represented by net operating losses and foreign tax credits were specifically allocated by GM to our company in respect to an intercompany receivable due from GM. These amounts were reclassified as deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of the Sponsor Transactions date.

          We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," or "SFAS No. 109." On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," or "FIN 48," which clarifies SFAS No. 109 by defining the confidence level that an income tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the tax effects of a position to be recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained solely on its technical merits. The "more-likely-than-not" threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized.

          As a result of adopting FIN 48, management reviewed the income tax positions it has recorded in the application of push down accounting and has evaluated the impact of EITF Issue No. 93-7, "Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination," or "EITF 93-7," as it relates to income tax exposures related to periods prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Under the guidance of EITF 93-7, we recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our predecessor

65



period tax liabilities as an increase to goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. For our successor period tax liabilities, we recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet. Adjustments to tax liabilities subsequent to the adoption of FIN 48 (e.g., through actual or effective settlement) are recorded through income tax expense or through additional adjustments to goodwill depending on whether the liabilities arose from transactions prior to or after the Sponsor Transactions. We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. See Note 15 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

          In addition, in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we revoked our election under APB Opinion No. 23, "Accounting for Income Taxes-Special Areas," to permanently reinvest earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a result, our financial results reflect the United States federal and state tax effect of all undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

Impact of LIHTC Operations

          Through our North American Affordable Housing segment, we work with multi-family real estate developers who have received an allocation of low-income housing tax credits from the FHA. We have provided assistance in syndicating a significant amount of these tax credits to third-party investors by sponsoring LIHTC funds. The purpose of these funds is to provide the capital necessary to construct or renovate a multi-family property. The developer receives the cash proceeds from the syndication (less our syndication fees) to support development of the project and the limited partner investors receive the tax credits associated with the project. In a LIHTC fund, investors acquire limited partner interests in an upper-tier investment partnership, which in turn invests as a limited partner in one or more lower-tier partnerships that own and operate multifamily properties. Investors in our LIHTC funds are most often corporations seeking to benefit from tax credits and tax losses that are generated by a lower-tier partnership's multifamily properties. We have historically acquired interests in new lower-tier partnerships in contemplation of transferring those interests to a new LIHTC fund following its capitalization. This "warehousing" of interests in lower-tier partnerships requires external funding, which gives rise to financing costs.

          As a sponsor of LIHTC funds, we receive structuring fees and investment syndication income for organizing the fund, coordinating the fund's capital raising and arranging investments by the upper-tier partnership in one or more lower-tier partnerships, and we generally are paid asset management fees for the ongoing administration of a fund. We recognize a portion of these structuring fees and investment syndication income when services are completed and collection is reasonably assured. We also earn asset management fees for services provided to the LIHTC funds during the tax compliance period of the lower-tier partnership. These fees are recognized as earned and included in Asset management fees in the consolidated statement of operations.

          We provide investment yield guarantees to investors in many of the LIHTC funds we sponsor. When we provide such a guarantee, a portion of the structuring fees and investment syndication income is deemed to be a fee in respect of the guarantee. We sometimes refer to that portion of the structuring fees and investment syndication income as "guarantee fees" in this document. These guarantee fees are deferred when received, and are amortized into income in each reporting period in proportion to the amounts of tax benefits and performance returns that are delivered to investors in satisfaction of the yield guarantees. This activity is reflected in Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. If a guaranteed LIHTC fund is unable to generate the yield required under the guarantee agreement through delivery of tax credits or losses to the guaranteed investors, we are obligated to pay the shortfall to the investors, or otherwise to bear the costs to improve the performance of the fund and enable it to generate the guaranteed yield.

66


          In updating our estimates of exposure to loss under the guarantee agreements, we gather information quarterly relating to the performance of lower-tier partnerships and underlying real estate projects, including compliance with relevant regulations governing low-income housing tax credits. Estimates of future performance are then developed and/or updated, including estimating the likelihood and amount of payments that may be required under the guarantee agreements. If, based on these quarterly estimates, we determine that the amount of projected payments and costs that are probable and estimable exceed the balance of unamortized deferred guarantee fees recorded in Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet (after taking into account working capital reserves within the underlying LIHTC funds), we recognize an additional liability under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," or "SFAS No. 5." Any revisions to the liability estimates under SFAS No. 5 are reflected in Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities in each quarter. The amount in Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities is reduced for actual costs that we incur to deliver the guaranteed yield or when it is determined that the likelihood or amount of future payments and costs under the guarantees has been reduced. For more information regarding our estimation of yield guarantee exposure, see "—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for Affordable Housing Guarantees." The rollforwards of the Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the periods from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 are presented below.

Represents obligation due to guarantee fund investors for contributions made, including guaranteed yields to be earned over the life of the investment. This obligation is reduced over the life of the guarantee fund partnerships as tax credits are delivered to the investors.

          In terms of reflection in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, amounts pertaining to the release of real estate syndication proceeds resulting from delivery of tax credits to guarantee fund investors are reflected as extinguishment of real estate syndication proceeds in operating activities. Increases resulting from additional guarantee fund investor installments are included in real estate syndication proceeds received within financing activities. Amortization of deferred guarantee fees and changes in guarantee liability estimates are reflected in other real estate syndication activities within operating cash flows. The fair value guarantee liability recognized through push down accounting is included in the Impact of push down accounting on stockholders' equity in Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The change in installment payments due from guarantee fund investors is included as an adjustment to Net change in Accounts and other receivables within Operating Activities.

          We recognize tax credits (net of any expected recapture) from our unsyndicated limited partnership interests in low-income housing partnerships to the extent they are delivered to a lower-tier unsyndicated partnership and are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

          Our LIHTC operations have experienced difficulties that have negatively impacted the performance of our North American Affordable Housing segment and adversely affected our overall results.

          In particular:

    Some of the multifamily properties that are owned by the lower-tier partnerships in our guaranteed LIHTC funds have not generated, or are expected to be unable to generate, sufficient cash flows to fund their operating expenses or debt service obligations. We have advanced, and expect in the future we will need to advance, funds to cover some or all of these shortfalls in order to avoid foreclosure on these properties and a loss of tax benefits to fund investors.

    Some of the multifamily properties that are owned by the lower-tier partnerships in our guaranteed LIHTC funds are in various stages of construction or are undergoing substantial rehabilitation. Due to construction delays, construction cost increases, construction cost overruns and other problems, some of these properties have been unable, or are expected to be unable, to obtain sufficient permanent financing to repay their construction related

      debt. To avoid foreclosure on these properties and a loss of tax benefits to investors, we have advanced, and expect in the future we will need to advance, funds to cover some or all of these shortfalls.

    Some of the multifamily properties that are owned by the lower-tier partnerships in our guaranteed LIHTC funds have not qualified for tax credits, and may never qualify for tax credits, under LIHTC program rules. In addition, some of our guaranteed LIHTC funds have had adjustments to losses following audits by the Internal Revenue Service. The adverse tax consequences have reduced yields provided to investors and, as a result, may require us to advance funds to affected investors in order to provide them with their guaranteed yield. We may be required to make additional advances in the future if audits result in an adverse change to a guaranteed LIHTC fund's tax positions.

    We have experienced higher costs of warehousing interests in lower-tier partnerships on our balance sheet pending a transfer of those interests to LIHTC funds. In addition, we have been required to provide additional collateral to secure our obligations under some of our yield guarantees, which has increased the funding costs for our LIHTC operations. We may incur similar costs in the future.

    We have removed the general partners of a number of lower-tier partnerships in our guaranteed and non-guaranteed LIHTC funds due to operational or performance issues. Following these removals, we have had to devote resources to managing the affected partnerships or finding suitable replacement general partners to conduct those activities.

    We have incurred expenses associated with managing our LIHTC funds and inventories of lower-tier partnerships in connection with the difficulties described above, including additional accounting, consulting, legal, and other professional fees, which have exceeded the amount of asset management fees that we have collected in recent periods and may continue to exceed the amount of asset management fees collected in future periods.

          Structuring fees and investment syndication income totaled $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a loss of $37.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Structuring fees and investment syndication income decreased by $47.2 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to income of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a result of the adverse developments in our LIHTC business, in 2005, we also recorded an impairment to goodwill associated with the business totaling $64.1 million.

          In connection with the application of push down accounting to our consolidated financial statements, we increased the carrying value of the liability associated with our guaranteed LIHTC funds (which is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities) to its fair value as of the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, which resulted in a $401.7 million increase in the aggregate carrying value of this liability to $664.5 million as of March 23, 2006. To the extent this liability exceeds the estimated costs associated with our LIHTC guarantees, it will be amortized to income over the expected life of the LIHTC funds to which the liability relates, with the remaining amount used to offset expected costs relating to performance under the yield guarantees that we would otherwise expense as they become estimable. As of March 23, 2006, we estimated that $410.8 million of the guarantee liability as of that date would be amortized into future income and $207.5 million would be utilized to cover estimated guarantee costs. As of March 31, 2008, we estimated that, of our total LIHTC related guarantee liability of $395.4 million at that date, $211.9 million would be amortized to future income and $183.5 million would be utilized to cover expected costs relating to performance under the yield guarantees. We reevaluate these estimates on a quarterly basis and it is likely that our estimates will continue to change based on changes in the future performance of our LIHTC business. The amortization of this liability resulted in a $6.2 million and $7.4 million benefit for the three months ended March 31,

69



2008 and 2007, respectively, and $31.4 million and $29.0 million benefit for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts include amortization of asset management fees relating to the management of the LIHTC funds over the expected terms of the yield guarantees. However, the amortization of these liabilities does not provide us with a source of cash for funding any advances or payments that we may be required to make in connection with our LIHTC operations. Future developments affecting our LIHTC business or other factors may cause us to revise our expectations for our LIHTC operations, which could result in additional charges.

          Since September 30, 2005, we have made significant changes to our business plan for our LIHTC operations in response to the developments described above. These changes are designed to reduce adverse impacts that our LIHTC operations may have on our future results of operations while enabling us to continue to fulfill our obligations to the LIHTC funds for which we serve as the general partner. Our primary focus with respect to our LIHTC operations is now on managing our existing funds. We do not expect to sponsor additional LIHTC funds in the future and we may consider opportunities to reduce our liabilities relating to existing guaranteed LIHTC funds by transferring guarantee liabilities in respect of or general partner interests in the funds that we have sponsored or otherwise. See "Business—Our Six Business Segments—North American Affordable Housing—LIHTC Funds." We expect to continue to face challenges in our LIHTC business but believe that the changes in our business plan for our LIHTC operations have reduced the uncertainties in those operations.

Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships

          When we sponsor a guaranteed LIHTC fund, we account for the syndication as a financing rather than as a sale under the requirements of SFAS No. 66. The requirement to reflect the transaction as a financing is triggered by our continuing involvement in the fund in the form of the yield guarantee. When accounting for a fund syndication as a financing, we retain the assets (generally cash, cash equivalents and equity investments) of the upper-tier partnership on our consolidated balance sheet, and we reflect the syndication proceeds from third-party investors as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

          In certain cases we are required to consolidate lower-tier partnerships and upper-tier partnerships for which we have not guaranteed yields under the requirements of FIN 46(R). This requirement is triggered when we are deemed to be the "primary beneficiary," as defined in FIN 46(R), in a partnership. When we consolidate a partnership under FIN 46(R), we recognize its assets (primarily cash and equity investments for upper-tier partnerships and real estate for lower-tier partnerships) and its liabilities (primarily mortgage debt for lower-tier partnerships) on our consolidated balance sheet, and we reflect the equity interests of third-party investors in the partnership as a minority interest in our consolidated balance sheet. Consolidation of a LIHTC fund under FIN 46(R) generally results in the same amount of net income reported in our consolidated statement of operations as would be reported under the equity method of accounting. However, certain line items within the consolidated statement of operations include gross amounts of income and expenses recorded at the fund level, the net of which is offset by minority interest expense or income to the extent the economic interests of the partnerships are passed through to third-party investors. These line items would be netted against one another under the equity method of accounting.

          The following tables present the amounts that were included in our consolidated financial statements as a result of the application of the accounting principles described above as of the dates and for the periods indicated. These accounting principles result in a gross-up of our assets and liabilities as well as a gross-up of our revenues, expenses and minority interest income as presented below.

Corporate and Other

          To reconcile our management reporting of our segment financial information to amounts included in our consolidated financial statements, we have excluded certain items from our segment reporting and categorized them as "Corporate and Other." As described more fully in "—Presentation of Our Segment Results," our six reportable business segments do not include certain corporate overhead expenses, certain immaterial businesses, allocation of income taxes, adjustments required by push down accounting, or any other eliminations, reclassifications or other adjustments that are made to conform our management reporting to our consolidated financial statements.

          The loss before income taxes recorded in "Corporate and Other" remained relatively constant at $44.2 million and $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts include unallocated personnel-related expenses for corporate departments such as accounting, tax, treasury, legal, information technology, human resources and internal audit. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase in the loss before income taxes of $7.8 million associated with corporate functions and immaterial businesses was offset by a decrease in the loss before income taxes of $8.1 million associated with push down accounting.

          The loss before income taxes totaled $209.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $234.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. A reduction of $33.0 million in the loss before income taxes associated with corporate functions and immaterial businesses was primarily due to a $17.6 million increase in total revenue related to gains on interest rate hedges on our deposit liabilities and a $12.8 million decrease in noninterest expense related to our expense management initiatives that we completed during late 2006 and early 2007. Partially offsetting these

71



favorable variances was a $7.7 million increase in the loss before income taxes associated with push down accounting related to the activities above.

          The loss before income taxes totaled $234.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $223.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The implementation of push down accounting in 2006 increased our loss before income taxes by $47.2 million. This unfavorable variance was partially offset by a $36.8 million decrease in the loss before income taxes associated with our corporate functions reflecting lower incentive compensation costs from expense management initiatives.

Outlook and Recent Trends

          In early 2007, the subprime residential lending and single family housing markets began to experience significant default rates, declining real estate values and increasing backlog of housing supply, and other lending markets experienced higher volatility and decreased liquidity resulting from the poor credit performance in the residential lending markets. The residential sector capital markets issues quickly spread more broadly into the asset-backed commercial real estate, corporate and other credit and equity markets even though underlying fundamentals outside of the residential real estate sector continued to show strong performance and credit metrics. In the first quarter of 2008, conditions in the credit and debt markets continued to deteriorate. Credit spreads (which relate to our cost of funds) have continued to widen.

          Credit spreads on commercial mortgage loans are significantly influenced by: (1) supply and demand for those mortgage loans; (2) perceived risk of the underlying real estate collateral cash flow; and (3) capital markets execution for the sale or financing of those mortgage loans. The number of potential lenders in the marketplace and the amount of funds they are willing to devote to commercial mortgage assets will generally impact credit spreads. As liquidity or "demand" for mortgage loans increases, spreads on equivalent commercial mortgage loans will generally decrease. Conversely, a lack of liquidity will result in credit spreads increasing. During periods of volatility, the number of lenders participating in the market may change at an accelerated pace. Further, many lenders rely on the capital markets to finance their portfolio of commercial loans. Lenders will likely increase the credit spreads they are willing to lend at as liquidity in the capital markets decreases. As the market tightens, many lenders have requested additional collateral or repayments with respect to their loans to maintain loan to value ratios that are acceptable to them.

          In an environment of widening credit spreads, the fair value of existing loans held for sale and investment securities may decrease. As a result, if a lender were to originate a loan, that loan would likely carry a greater credit spread than a similar loan originated in an environment of lower credit spreads. Even though a loan may be performing in accordance with its loan agreement and the underlying collateral has not changed, the fair value of the loan may be negatively affected by the difference between the rate on the loan versus market rates from the spread widening. Accordingly, when a lender wishes to sell or finance a loan, the reduced fair value of the loan will impact the total proceeds and, therefore, the gain that the lender will receive.

          As a result of the current market conditions, we recognized declines in fair value on our portfolio of loans held for sale and investment securities. Although our loans and investments may be performing in accordance with their underlying agreements, and the expected underlying collateral performance has not changed, the fair values of these loans and investments have been negatively affected by the market valuation of such instruments. Our expectation is that commercial real estate valuations will continue to be stressed in 2008 due to weaker economic conditions and reduced liquidity.

          Current market conditions have led banks and other lending institutions to tighten lending standards and restrict credit. The structured credit markets, including the CMBS and CDO markets, have remained severely limited. Although delinquencies in the commercial real estate markets have

72



not significantly increased in the first quarter of 2008, the lack of liquidity in the CMBS and other commercial mortgage markets has continued to negatively affect origination, sales and financing activity. As a result, most financial industry participants, including commercial real estate lenders and investors, are finding it difficult to obtain cost-effective debt capital to finance new investment activity or to refinance maturing debt. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the "Federal Reserve," has responded to these conditions by lowering the federal funds rate from a high of 5.25% in September 2007 to 2.00% in April 2008 and providing liquidity to financial institutions through various funding programs. Notwithstanding liquidity measures taken by the Federal Reserve in which Capmark Bank has participated, capital markets conditions remain challenging.

          If current adverse market conditions persist or worsen, our ability to increase our servicing portfolio and assets under management could be impaired, resulting in a corresponding reduction in our interest and fee income. We may also continue to experience difficulty in executing our distribution strategies, including asset sales such as syndications, participations and securitizations, which could increase the principal risk exposures associated with our lending activities and decrease our ability to generate new loans and related fees. Significant price volatility and reduced liquidity in the capital markets may lead to volatility in the fair value of our loans held for sale.

          Despite the obstacles presented in the current environment, we believe the long-term outlook for our three core businesses: lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management, and loan servicing, remains generally positive. We will continue to manage our originations, changing the mix of product types to emphasize products with better liquidity and lower funding costs, including loans originated under GSE programs, loans originated as correspondent lender, and loans funded by Capmark Bank. We will also continue to focus on our recurring fee businesses, such as servicing and investments and funds management.

Results of Operations

Consolidated

          The following table summarizes our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. To facilitate a discussion of our results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2007, the information set forth below for the year ended December 31, 2006 represents a mathematical combination of our predecessor consolidated results for the 81 days ended March 22, 2006 and our successor consolidated results for the 284 days ended December 31, 2006. However, our consolidated financial statements for our predecessor and successor periods have been prepared using different bases of accounting, with the successor period reflecting the application of push down accounting. Accordingly, the information set forth below with respect to the three years ended December 31, 2007 is not directly comparable.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          We incurred a net loss of $212.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net income of $175.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was attributable to pre-tax net losses on loans of $357.2 million primarily resulting from changes in fair value on our portfolio of loans held for sale, compared to pre-tax net gains on loans of $77.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2007 included a $65.3 million non-recurring gain on the sale of a majority of our affordable housing debt platform. In total, net gains declined $529.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our fee and investment income also declined $108.2 million largely due to declines in our equity in net income of joint ventures and partnerships due to adverse market conditions in 2008 and performance-based asset management fees earned in the three months ended March 31, 2007 that were not achieved for the three months ended March 31, 2008. These unfavorable variances were partly offset by a $27.3 million decrease in noninterest expense primarily attributable to lower fixed and variable compensation expense related to the decline in operating results.

          Net interest income was $61.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $83.5 million in the same period in 2007. The decline was primarily due to lower average spreads on interest-earning assets and a reduction of accretion income on acquired non-performing loans year over year. The decline in spread income was largely offset by gains on interest rate hedges included in noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The reduction in accretion income on acquired non-performing loans was driven by resolutions or sales of such loans and fewer acquisitions.

          For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded net losses on loans of $357.2 million primarily due to changes in fair value related to our portfolio of loans held for sale driven by adverse market conditions.

74


          Our fee and investment income totaled $156.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $264.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $108.2 million decrease was due primarily to a reduction in our asset management fees and equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships. Asset management fees declined $25.5 million primarily due to fees earned for the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to achieving certain performance criteria that were not achieved for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships declined $53.1 million primarily due to changes in fair value on investment funds and losses recognized by the underlying joint venture investments.

          Our provision for loan losses was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

          Our noninterest expense totaled $208.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $235.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $27.2 million decrease in noninterest expense was due primarily to a $30.4 million reduction in our compensation and benefits expense and a $3.3 million decrease in other expenses. The reduction in compensation and benefits was primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation expense related to the decline in operating results.

          Our minority interest income totaled $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to minority interest expense of $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to losses incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2008 by joint ventures and other investments in which third parties held a minority interest compared to income earned by such entities for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

          We recorded an income tax benefit of $120.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to an income tax provision of $101.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to the change in pre-tax earnings between the periods.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Our net income totaled $280.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $156.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $123.7 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in fee and investment income combined with a reduction in our provision for loan losses and noninterest expense. Fee and investment income increased $120.7 million reflecting increased structuring fees and investment syndication income, asset management fees, and trust fees and document custodial income. The reduction in our provision for loan losses was due to a specific non-recurring loan loss provision in 2006 related to a loan to a joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany. The reduction in noninterest expense resulted from our expense management initiatives.

          Our net interest income totaled $336.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $323.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $13.0 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest-earning assets.

          Our noninterest income totaled $908.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $892.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $16.0 million increase was driven by an increase of $120.7 million in fee and investment income, including increases of $87.4 million in structuring fees and investment syndication income due to a reduction in losses relating to LIHTC yield guarantees in our North American Affordable Housing segment, $42.9 million in asset management fees, $27.5 million in trust fees and document custodial income, $7.2 million in mortgage servicing fees and $13.7 million in net real estate investment income.

          The favorable variance in fee and investment income was offset, in part, by a $104.7 million reduction in net gains for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Net gains on loans declined $257.3 million primarily due to an increase in

75



valuation adjustments on our loans held for sale caused by adverse market conditions. In addition, net gains on the resolution of acquired non-performing loans declined $13.1 million. These unfavorable variances were partly offset by an increase of $36.3 million of net gains on trading derivatives and investment securities, an increase of $44.6 million of net gains on real estate and equity investments and an increase of $84.8 million of other net gains. The increase in other net gains reflects a $65.3 million gain on the sale of a majority of our affordable housing debt platform in February 2007 and a $7.1 million gain on the sale of our commercial real estate research division, Realpoint, in August 2007.

          Our provision for loan losses totaled $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $74.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $41.8 million reduction was primarily driven by a $45.9 million specific non-recurring loan loss provision in 2006 relating to a loan made in 2005 to a joint venture that invested in non-performing residential loans in Germany. We also made an equity investment of $28.3 million. The joint venture also issued debt to a third-party bank which was senior to our interest as mezzanine lender and joint venture partner. Throughout 2005 and 2006, we wrote off our joint venture interests and recognized an allowance for loan loss for the entire loan amount of $45.9 million due to the deteriorating financial condition of the joint venture. In late 2006, the joint venture solicited offers for the bulk sale of its loan portfolio. In 2007, following analysis of the bids received for the loan portfolio, we determined that recoveries on the mezzanine loan were unlikely due to the amount of existing senior debt. The mezzanine loan was fully charged off in the fourth quarter of 2007.

          Our noninterest expense totaled $889.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $991.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $101.7 million decrease primarily resulted from the decline in overall headcount and our expense management initiatives. Compensation and benefits declined $81.4 million largely due to a reduction in headcount across our company. Professional fees declined $10.1 million. Other expenses declined $25.4 million due largely to a reduction in data processing and telecommunications expense of $10.9 million and recognition of certain accounts receivable write-offs in 2006 that were non-recurring in 2007. These favorable variances were partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in our amortization of mortgage servicing rights due to a higher carrying amount of mortgage servicing rights on our consolidated balance sheet and a $5.7 million increase in occupancy and equipment.

          Our minority interest income totaled $124.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $58.8 million increase was concentrated in our Asian Operations and North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segments. Within our Asian Operations segment, minority interest expense decreased $43.7 million due largely to the sale of certain Japanese real estate investments in 2006 that were held in a 50% owned consolidated joint venture resulting in minority interest expense equal to the joint venture partner's 50% share of the gain. Within our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment, minority interest income increased $32.5 million due to an increase in minority interest income associated with certain NMTC partnerships that are consolidated under applicable accounting guidance. These favorable variances were partly offset by $32.1 million reduction in minority interest income required by the application of push down accounting and reported as a component of "Corporate and other."

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Our net income totaled $156.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $294.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $138.2 million. Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was adversely affected by acquisition-related expenses that we incurred in connection with the Sponsor Transactions and the impact of push down accounting, which reduced our net income by $33.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively. The remaining $79.1 million decrease in net income was attributable to a decrease in the amount of net interest

76



income and noninterest income that we recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 and an increase in our provision for loan losses. The impact of these changes was partially offset, however, by a decrease in the amount of noninterest expense that we incurred over the period.

          Our net interest income totaled $323.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $433.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $110.2 million. Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was adversely impacted by the amortization of acquisition-related debt issuance costs that we capitalized in connection with the Sponsor Transactions and the effects of push down accounting, which reduced our net interest income by $13.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively. The remaining $72.7 million decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in our accretion income, as well as a decrease in the margin earned on our interest earning assets, due to a decrease in the average asset yields as well as an increase in our borrowing costs. Accretion income is derived from both acquired non-performing loans as well as certain originated loans that are carried at a discount to their outstanding principal balance. Originated loans carried at a discount primarily related to a pool of loans that we reclassified on our balance sheet from held for sale to held for investment in December 2004. These loans were transferred at their carrying value at time of transfer, which was determined based on the lower of cost or fair value. The loans were transferred at a discount of $100.4 million, of which $19.9 million was considered to be recoverable based on expected net realizable values of the loans. The discount expected to be recovered on loans held for investment is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans. The transferred loans had relatively short remaining average lives, which resulted in substantial accretion income recognized in 2005 of $15.6 million, compared to accretion income on these loans in 2006 of $1.5 million, resulting in a reduction in net interest income in 2006 of $14.1 million.

          In addition to a decrease of $13.5 million resulting from push down accounting, accretion on acquired non-performing loans also decreased by $25.5 million in 2006 compared to 2005. This decrease was partially driven by a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $78.9 million and a decrease in the average yield of 215 basis points. The remaining deterioration in net interest margin of $26.5 million is due to margin compression on new loan originations in our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment as well as an increase in our weighted average borrowing costs under our bridge loan and senior credit facility.

          Our provision for loan losses was $74.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $42.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $31.7 million increase was driven by specific loss reserves taken on mortgage loans held for investment, including a $45.9 million provision taken with respect to a loan to a joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany. Our allowance for loan losses was also impacted by the application of push down accounting, which resulted in higher carrying values of loans and caused our provision for loan losses to be $8.8 million higher than would otherwise have been the case.

          Our noninterest income totaled $892.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $187.3 million. Our noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was adversely affected by the application of push down accounting, which caused the amount of noninterest income that we recognized during the period to be $45.1 million lower than would otherwise have been the case due to increases in the carrying values of our mortgage loans, equity investments and real estate investments on our consolidated balance sheet, which reduced the amount of net gains that we recognized on these investments. The impact of these changes was partially offset by an increase in asset management, trust fees and real estate investment income.

          Net gains decreased by $200.4 million to $117.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the impact of push down accounting, which increased our carrying values in assets that we sold during the period and decreased the amount of gains that we

77



recognized by a corresponding amount. Investment banking and structuring fees and investment syndication income decreased by $46.5 million to $22.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of charges incurred in our LIHTC business. These charges were lower, however, than would otherwise have been the case had push down accounting not been applied, as described under "—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results." Income from equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships decreased by $28.5 million to $67.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, reflecting the profitable disposition during the year ended December 31, 2005 of commercial properties owned through real estate joint ventures and partnerships that we accounted for under the equity method. Income from equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships was also negatively impacted by push down accounting, which increased our carrying values in those joint ventures and partnerships and decreased the amount of income that we recognized from the sale of assets by those joint ventures and partnerships. Trust fees and document custodial income increased by $80.0 million to $166.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 due primarily to an increase in the amount of escrow balances held in trust accounts at Escrow Bank USA, which we refer to as "Escrow Bank," and an increase in the trust fees from escrow services earned on those balances. Net real estate investment income decreased by $7.1 million to $68.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of a $7.5 million decrease in rental income that was attributable to the consolidation of additional LIHTC partnerships during 2006.

          Our noninterest expense totaled $991.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in noninterest expense was due primarily to a $89.5 million decrease in our compensation and benefits expense and a $17.5 million decrease in occupancy, equipment, data processing and telecommunications expense. These cost reductions were primarily attributable to cost saving measures that we implemented in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. The impact of these cost reductions, however, was partially offset by $41.1 million of acquisition-related expenses that we incurred in connection with the Sponsor Transactions and the impact of push down accounting on our financial statements. The application of push down accounting resulted in an increase in the carrying values of our mortgage servicing rights and other intangible assets, which caused our amortization charges for those assets to increase by $22.9 million to $137.9 million.

          Our minority interest income totaled $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $57.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          Our income tax provision was $59.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $112.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in our income tax provision was primarily due to the lower level of pretax income that we recorded as a result of the factors described above.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment incurred a loss before income taxes of $40.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $107.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $148.5 million decrease was driven primarily by changes in fair value due to continued adverse market conditions for the three months ended March 31, 2008 partially offset by lower noninterest expense and higher net interest income.

          Net interest income totaled $78.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $61.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $16.9 million increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest-earning assets. Total assets as of March 31, 2008 were $12.3 billion compared to $9.5 billion as of March 31, 2007.

          Noninterest income was a negative $74.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $111.1 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $185.8 million decline was driven by a decrease in net gains and placement fees. Net gains decreased $153.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Losses attributed to the valuation of loans held for sale increased by $81.7 million as a result of market volatility in credit spreads. Gains recognized from the sale of loans decreased $36.4 million due to the absence of securitization transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Losses attributed to hedging activity increased $34.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. All other gains decreased $0.9 million. Placement fees decreased $27.3 million due to a decrease in origination volume of $5.2 billion or 67% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. All other noninterest income decreased $4.7 million primarily due to lower exit fees and other miscellaneous income.

          The provision for loan losses totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $4.8 million increase in the provision was primarily due to the addition of a specific reserve for a single large loan.

          Noninterest expense totaled $47.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $69.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $22.1 million decrease

79



was primarily driven by a $28.5 million decline in compensation and benefits due to a reduction in incentive compensation related to a decline in operating results. All other noninterest expense increased $6.5 million primarily due to an increase in professional fees and occupancy expense.

          Minority interest income totaled $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $3.1 million increase was due to an increase in minority interest income associated with NMTC funds that are consolidated under applicable accounting guidance. The majority of the increase was due to a provision for loan losses in our consolidated statement of operations that is allocated to the minority interest holders of such NMTC funds. The increase in provision for loan losses resulted in an increase in minority interest income equal to the third-party investors' allocation of such provision.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $170.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $343.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $172.8 million decrease was driven largely by higher valuation adjustments on loans held for sale, a component of noninterest income, and a higher provision for loan losses, partially offset by higher net interest income and minority interest income.

          Net interest income totaled $287.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $231.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $55.9 million increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest-earning assets. Total assets as of December 31, 2007 were $12.2 billion compared to $9.2 billion as of December 31, 2006.

          Noninterest income totaled $155.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $403.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $248.0 million decrease was driven by lower net gains and placement fees partially offset by higher investment banking fees. Net gains decreased $252.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Realized gains recognized from the sale of mortgage loans decreased $60.0 million due primarily to a reduction in fixed-rate securitization profitability and volume driven by widening CMBS bond spreads. Additionally, unrealized losses increased $186.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, relating to an increase in valuation charges on loans held for sale. All other net gains declined $6.7 million as lower net gains on hedging activities were partially offset by higher net gains attributed to the capitalization of originated mortgage servicing rights. Placement fees decreased $13.2 million due to a decrease in loan origination volume attributed to market volatility in the second half of 2007. Investment banking fees increased $18.0 million primarily due to a $1.3 billion increase in military housing bond placements.

          The provision for loan losses totaled $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $10.2 million increase was attributed to an increase in mortgage loans held for investment resulting from the transfer of approximately $4.5 billion of mortgage loans from "held for sale" to "held for investment" in the second half of 2007 because of our intent and ability to hold such loans until maturity.

          Noninterest expense totaled $298.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $295.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $2.9 million increase was driven primarily by a $29.3 million increase in the recognition of deferred costs associated with loan originations that was partially offset by a $23.7 million reduction in compensation and benefits expense attributable to a reduction in total headcount.

          Minority interest income totaled $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $32.4 million increase was attributed to an increase in the minority interest income associated with certain NMTC partnerships that are consolidated under applicable accounting guidance. The majority of the increase is

80



attributed to valuation adjustments, recognized as a component of net gains (losses), and provision for loan losses in our consolidated statement of operations that are allocated to the minority interest holders of such NMTC partnerships. The increase in valuation adjustments and provision for loan losses resulted in an increase to minority interest income equal to the third-party investors' allocation of such valuation adjustments.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Income before income tax provision totaled $343.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $325.0 million for the same period in 2005. The $18.2 million increase was primarily driven by a higher level of noninterest income, a lower level of noninterest expense and a lower provision for loan losses offset by a lower level of net interest income.

          Net interest income totaled $231.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $271.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $40.1 million decline was largely due to margin compression on new loan originations in an extremely competitive commercial real estate lending market. This competitive market also resulted in an increase in the pay-down of higher yielding assets.

          Noninterest income totaled $403.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $375.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $28.0 million increase was driven by a higher level of investment banking fees and gains on sale of assets. Investment banking fees increased $10.7 million primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in structured finance advisory fees in our capital markets group and a $4.3 million increase to military housing and NMTC structuring and syndication fees. Net gains increased $12.1 million in 2006 compared to 2005. Due to the flattened yield curve, gains attributed to reduced costs on conduit loan hedges and brokered certificate of deposit hedges increased $24.2 million and $15.9 million respectively. Gains recognized from the sale of loans with capitalized originated mortgage servicing rights increased $9.7 million due to higher securitization volume and higher interest rates increasing the value of escrow deposits associated with the servicing rights. Offsetting these positive variances was a reduction in loan sale gains of $21.3 million due to spread compression on fixed rate securitization executions and other sales and syndication activity. In addition, there was a reduction in gains of $13.3 million realized primarily as a result of full payment received on mortgage loans held for investment that were carried at a discount to their outstanding principal balances. All other gains declined $3.1 million. All other noninterest income increased $5.2 million in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to a higher level of exit fees and other miscellaneous income.

          Provision for loan losses declined $14.1 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due to a reduction in held for investment assets and an overall improvement in the credit quality of our North American mortgage loan portfolio as evidenced by actual charge-offs being below our historical loss rates.

          Noninterest expense totaled $295.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $306.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $10.3 million decline was primarily driven by a lower level of incentive compensation offset by a higher level of salary expense attributed to one-time severance charges. Incentive compensation declined as a result of a reduction in staffing levels of approximately 23% of the segment's employees. Professional fees increased $7.6 million in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily related to expenses associated with NMTC syndication activities and to higher legal expenses in the principal finance lending unit.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Income before income taxes totaled $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $63.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $63.4 million decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships partly offset by a lower noninterest expense.

          Net interest income totaled $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $4.3 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest-earning assets, particularly CMBS, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

          Noninterest income totaled $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $94.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $76.6 million decrease was driven by a $28.5 million reduction in equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships related to the flow-through impact of lower gains from real estate equity and debt funds, a $26.2 million decrease in net gains on investment securities primarily due to realized gains in 2007 on the sale of CMBS, a decrease in placement fees of $10.5 million due to fewer transactions on which we earn such fees, and a decrease in asset management fees of $8.9 million due to fees earned in 2007 related to the achievement of certain performance criteria.

          Noninterest expense totaled $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $16.0 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation expense of $17.4 million related to the decline in operating results.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $149.5 million for year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $143.6 million for year ended December 31, 2006. The $5.9 million increase resulted primarily from a reduction in noninterest expense and an increase in minority interest income partially offset by a reduction in net interest income and noninterest income.

          Net interest income totaled $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $14.2 million for year ended December 31, 2006. The $5.9 million decrease was due to a reduction in the volume of interest-earning assets held in the portfolio.

          Noninterest income totaled $209.9 million for year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $236.4 million for year ended December 31, 2006. The $26.5 million decrease was primarily the

82



result of lower equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships of $66.0 million due to valuation adjustments recognized in a commingled fund that we consolidate and significant gains generated in 2006 from the refinancing of a CDO. This decrease was partially offset by higher placement fee income of $12.9 million due to increased equity placements and an increase in net gains of $26.1 million due to lower valuation adjustments on investment securities year-over-year as well as gains from the sale of Realpoint and a real estate investment property.

          Noninterest expense totaled $75.9 million for year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $102.7 million for year ended December 31, 2006. The $26.8 million decrease was driven by a reduction in professional fees of $23.6 million due to expenses incurred in 2006 to launch a new structured debt fund and a decrease in incentive compensation expense of $3.7 million.

          Minority interest income was $7.5 million for year ended December 31, 2007 compared to minority interest expense of $5.1 million for year ended December 31, 2006. The $12.6 million variance was primarily due to valuation adjustments recognized in a commingled fund that we consolidate. The valuation adjustments that we recognized resulted in minority interest income equal to the third-party investors' share of such losses.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Income before income tax provision totaled $143.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $180.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $37.1 million decrease resulted primarily from lower gains and other income realized in connection with the equity investments in two CMBS funds and two large real estate equity transactions. A significant portion of the earnings generated by the business segment during each period was attributable to investments on our balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 61% of the segment's total revenue was attributable to these investments, compared to 62% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          Net interest income totaled $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net interest income during the year ended December 31, 2006 included $2.6 million of earnings from assets warehoused in anticipation of the launch of a whole loan CDO and $2.3 million of earnings generated by the investment in a synthetic CDO. Net interest income from other sources grew by $7.7 million to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to the receipt of $3.8 million in delinquent interest payments on debt securities and a decrease in real estate related equity investments that reduced the interest expense associated with those assets.

          Noninterest income totaled $236.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $275.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Noninterest income was $38.7 million higher for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily as a result of $55.2 million in earnings generated during the period as a result of cash distributions received from two commingled debt funds during the year ended December 31, 2005. These earnings consist of $38.8 million of realized gains and $16.4 million of asset management fees on those transactions.

          Noninterest expense totaled $102.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $94.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Noninterest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 included $27.0 million of fundraising fees that were attributable to the launch of an opportunistic debt fund. The impact of these fees on noninterest expense was partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in compensation and benefits expenses, office space and equipment costs and professional fees resulting from the divestiture of an asset management group that was responsible for managing separate accounts and the implementation of other cost reduction measures undertaken following the Sponsor Transactions.

83


          Minority interest expense was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The minority interest expense related to the interest of third-party investors in funds that were required to be consolidated in 2006, under EITF 04-5, "Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights," or "EITF 04-5." No minority interest income or expense was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Income before income taxes totaled $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $44.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $20.8 million decrease was primarily driven by lower noninterest income.

          Noninterest income totaled $79.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $99.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $20.5 million decrease was driven by lower trust fees and document custodial income, mortgage servicing fees, and other fees. Trust fees and document custodial income decreased $12.0 million due to the lower interest rate environment. Trust fees, although a component of noninterest income, are interest rate sensitive. Mortgage servicing fees decreased $4.7 million primarily as a result of a lower weighted average service fee on our North American servicing portfolio. Other fees declined $4.2 million due to lower transaction volume in the commercial mortgage market and the absence of revenues from our former technology subsidiary, EnableUS, Inc., sold in April 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $192.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $154.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $37.6 million increase was primarily driven by lower noninterest expense offset, in part, by a reduction in noninterest income.

          The segment recorded negative net interest income of $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to negative net interest income of $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $1.3 million improvement in net interest income was due to several

84



offsetting factors. Net interest income increased due to a $17.8 million increase in earnings on escrow balances at third-party banks, and a $1.2 million increase in interest earned by Escrow Bank on higher cash balances. These favorable variances were partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in interest expense paid to borrowers on their escrow balances, a $2.6 million increase in the segment's interest expense allocation based on higher asset balances, a $3.6 million counterparty interest expense payment in connection with hedging escrow balances, a $2.2 million reduction in payoff interest, and a $4.1 million decrease in interest income on servicing advances.

          Noninterest income totaled $403.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $406.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Noninterest income in our North American Servicing segment is primarily fee-based. The $2.8 million decrease was driven by lower mortgage servicing fees, asset management fees, and the absence of revenues from our former technology subsidiary, EnableUS, Inc., sold in April 2007. The segment experienced a $6.4 million decline in mortgage servicing fees primarily due to reduced assumption activity, a $2.8 million decline in special servicing asset management fees, and a reduction in all other noninterest income of $15.1 million primarily due to the sale of EnableUS, Inc. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by higher net gains and trust fees and document custodial income. In connection with the sale of EnableUS, Inc., we recognized a $6.2 million gain (offset in part in our consolidated results by the impact of push down accounting reflected in "Corporate and other"). Trust fees and document custodial income increased $15.3 million as a result of increased fees earned from escrow services provided and an increase in the amount of escrow balances held at Escrow Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.

          Noninterest expense totaled $205.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $243.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $38.0 million decrease was driven by reductions in compensation and benefits, and all other noninterest expenses. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $19.8 million largely due to headcount reductions. All other noninterest expenses decreased $18.2 million reflecting general reductions in occupancy and equipment, professional fees, data processing and telecommunications, travel and entertainment, and other expenses. The absence of expenses generated by EnableUS, Inc. subsequent to the aforementioned sale and a legal settlement in the prior year contributed to the general expense reductions.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Income before income tax provision totaled $154.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $122.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $31.9 million increase was primarily driven by higher income from trust fees and document custodial income, mortgage servicing fees and other noninterest income, which were offset in part by a reduction in net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense.

          Our North American Servicing segment recorded negative net interest income of $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net interest income of $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $36.1 million difference was due to transfers of bonds and acquired non-performing loans from our special servicing business to the North American Investments and Funds Management segment in early 2006, resulting in a reduction of approximately $19.0 million in our net interest income. Net interest income was also negatively impacted by an increase in interest expense allocated to the segment for management reporting purposes of approximately $17.0 million resulting from the initiation of an interest expense allocation for originated mortgage servicing rights in 2006.

85


          Noninterest income totaled $406.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $315.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $91.2 million increase was driven by a growth in trust fees and document custodial income, an increase in gains on sale, and an increase in mortgage servicing fees and other income. Trust fees and document custodial income increased by $78.8 million to $179.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of trust fees earned from escrow services provided and an increase in the amount of escrow balances held at Escrow Bank. Gains on sale increased by $5.0 million to $4.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 due to the sale of the Canadian servicing portfolio. Mortgage servicing fees increased by $3.9 million to $159.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of an increase in the size of our North American servicing portfolio. The outstanding principal balance of our North American servicing portfolio grew to $266.5 billion as of December 31, 2006 from $259.2 billion as of December 31, 2005, principally due to increased loan originations and our acquisition of servicing rights. All other noninterest income grew by $3.5 million to $62.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in special request fees, which relate to services that are provided to borrowers outside the normal course of business.

          Noninterest expense totaled $243.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $220.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $22.3 million increase was primarily driven by a $17.3 million increase in compensation and benefits expenses that was attributable to severance costs associated with staffing level reductions and the allocation of incentive compensation accruals to the business segment that had previously been unallocated and included as part of "Corporate and Other." Other operating expenses increased by $8.2 million to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to a write down of goodwill of our servicing technology subsidiary, EnableUs. The increase in noninterest expense over the period was partially offset by a $3.2 million reduction in other noninterest expense.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Our Asian Operations segment incurred a loss before income taxes of $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $68.4 million decrease was primarily driven by a

86



reduction in noninterest income due to lower net gains in 2008 compared to 2007 and real estate impairments recorded in 2008.

          Net interest income totaled $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $5.7 million decrease was attributable to a reduction in the balance of acquired non-performing loans and an increase in real estate investments that are not interest-earning assets. The decrease in the portfolio of acquired non-performing loans was driven by resolutions or sales of such loans in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and fewer acquisitions thereafter, with certain proceeds reinvested in noninterest-earning real estate investments.

          Noninterest income totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $67.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $63.9 million decrease was driven primarily by lower net gains and lower equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships. Net gains decreased $55.1 million due to real estate impairments of $20.4 million and changes in fair value of loans totaling $3.2 million in 2008, and opportunistic sales of certain real estate investments in 2007. Equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships declined $4.2 million due to certain real estate joint ventures terminating in 2007 upon asset disposition.

          The provision for loan losses totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the decrease in the portfolio of acquired non-performing loans.

          Noninterest expense totaled $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $4.4 million increase was mainly attributable to miscellaneous expenses of $6.5 million from a real estate investment consolidated in 2008 partly offset by lower loan processing fees (a component of other expenses) of $3.3 million. The decrease in loan processing fees was mainly due to lower brokerage fees driven by fewer real estate acquisitions.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $104.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $2.1 million increase was primarily driven by a reduction in minority interest expense.

          Net interest income totaled $55.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $79.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $24.4 million decrease was attributable to a reduction in the balance of acquired non-performing loans and an increase in real estate investments that are not interest-earning assets. The decrease in the balance of acquired non-performing loans was driven by resolutions or sales of such loans and fewer acquisitions, with certain proceeds reinvested in noninterest-earning real estate investments.

          Noninterest income totaled $156.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $168.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $12.3 million decrease was driven primarily by lower net gains partially offset by higher net real estate investment income and fee income. Net gains decreased $55.0 million due to the opportunistic sales of certain Japanese real estate investments during the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these investments were held in a joint venture and approximately 50% of the gain recorded in connection with these sales was offset by a corresponding increase in minority interest expense. Fee income increased $34.9 million due mainly to a promote fee of $15.1 million from a joint venture partner in a Japanese real estate investment, acquisition fees of $1.0 million from a real estate joint venture established in 2007, an increase of $5.4 million in loan origination fees and loan exit fees due to higher rates, and income of $8.3 million from a consolidated real estate investment.

87


          Noninterest expense totaled $90.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $8.5 million increase was mainly attributable to expenses of $8.2 million from a consolidated real estate investment. In addition, lower data processing and telecommunications expenses and lower compensation and benefits were partially offset by higher property inspection fees and loan processing fees. Data processing and telecommunications expenses decreased $2.6 million due to lower maintenance and repairs. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $2.9 million primarily due to lower incentive compensation. Property inspection fees increased $3.3 million due to the volume of real estate acquisitions. Loan processing fees increased by $1.7 million due to brokerage fees on real estate and non-performing loan dispositions.

          Provision for loan losses totaled $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $3.7 million decrease was due to fewer impairment losses recognized on acquired non-performing loans.

          Minority interest expense totaled $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $46.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $43.6 million decrease was due largely to the sale of certain Japanese real estate investments in 2006 that were held in a 50% owned consolidated joint venture resulting in minority interest expense equal to the joint venture partner's 50% share of the gain.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Income before income tax provision totaled $104.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $95.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $9.3 million increase was primarily driven by an increase in noninterest income, which was partially offset by a decrease in net interest income, an increase in noninterest expense and an increase in minority interest expense.

          Net interest income was $79.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $91.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to a decrease in the size of our portfolio of acquired non-performing loans resulting from resolutions or sales of the loans in the portfolio.

          Noninterest income totaled $168.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $97.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $71.4 million increase was driven primarily by a higher level of net gains. Net gains increased by $76.1 million to $129.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 due to sales of Japanese real estate investments that were acquired in 2000 and held by a joint venture. Approximately 50% of the gain recorded in connection with this sale was offset by a corresponding change in minority interest expense.

          Provision for loan losses totaled $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in provision for loan losses was due to impairment losses recognized on acquired non-performing loan portfolios.

          Noninterest expense totaled $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $74.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $8.2 million increase was driven primarily by higher incentive compensation and benefit expenses, which increased by $7.2 million to $43.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of improved results of operations.

          Minority interest expense totaled $46.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $38.4 million increase was due largely to the allocation to a joint venture partner of net realized gains from sales of Japanese real estate investments as described above.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Our European Operations segment incurred a loss before income taxes of $246.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $274.9 million decrease was primarily due to significant changes in fair value recognized on our portfolio of loans held for sale.

          Net interest income totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $4.1 million decrease was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense.

          Noninterest income was a negative $243.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to a positive $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $272.3 million decrease was primarily due to the occurrence of net losses and decreased equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships, and fee income. Net gains decreased $253.9 million due to changes in fair value totaling $235.4 million recognized on our portfolio of loans held for sale as of March 31, 2008. We completed the sale of significant interests in 39 loans in April 2008 to a third-party institutional buyer for a total aggregate sale price of approximately $1.8 billion. The loss associated with the sale was recognized in the first quarter of 2008 because the sale price was indicative of fair value as of March 31, 2008. Equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships decreased $9.8 million due to losses recognized by the underlying joint venture investments. Mortgage servicing fees decreased $4.2 million primarily as a result of non-recurring income earned on the resolution of a specially serviced CMBS investment in 2007. Placement fees and other fees decreased by $4.5 million primarily due to decreased market activity.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $35.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a loss before income tax provision of $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $58.7 million increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income and a lower provision for loan losses reflecting non-recurring charges in 2006, combined with lower

89



noninterest expense due to lower compensation and benefits, partly offset by higher valuation charges on our loans held for sale.

          Net interest income totaled $36.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $9.3 million increase was primarily driven by a write-off of accrued interest income in the first quarter of 2006 relating to a loan to a joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany. The remainder of the increase was due to an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets in 2007 compared to 2006.

          Noninterest income totaled $52.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $64.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $12.6 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction in net gains and other income partially offset by increased equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships and increased mortgage servicing fees. Net gains decreased $55.0 million primarily due to valuation adjustments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007 on our loans held for sale. Consulting fees, placement fees, and other fee income decreased $8.4 million primarily due to the sale of our French technology subsidiary in the fourth quarter of 2006. Equity in income of joint ventures and partnerships increased $42.1 million, primarily due to the sale of two United Kingdom real estate equity investments in the second quarter of 2007, combined with losses incurred in 2006 from a joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany. Mortgage servicing fees increased $11.5 million as a result of fee income earned on the resolution of a CMBS investment that we service and an increase in the outstanding principal balance of our European Servicing portfolio from $36.8 billion as of December 31, 2006 to $59.4 billion as of December 31, 2007, due to additional third-party servicing contracts.

          The provision for loan losses improved $47.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The favorable variance was driven by a specific non-recurring loan loss provision in 2006 relating to a loan to a joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany.

          Noninterest expense totaled $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $67.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $13.7 million decrease was primarily due to lower compensation and benefits expense, decreased operating costs due to the sale of our French technology subsidiary, and a reduction in the recognition of deferred costs associated with new loan originations.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          Our European Operations segment recorded a loss before income tax provision of $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to income before income tax provision of $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $45.3 million reduction in income was primarily due to a write down in 2006 of our equity investment in a joint venture that invested in a pool of non-performing loans in Germany and a provision charged in that period in respect of a subordinated loan that we extended to the joint venture.

          Net interest income totaled $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $9.2 million decrease was primarily driven by a reversal of interest receivable relating to the above-mentioned loan investments in Germany, which we placed on non-accrual status in 2006. This reversal resulted from a review of the expected future cash flows from the underlying investment and an increase in interest expense based on an increase in debt.

          Noninterest income totaled $64.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $57.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $6.9 million increase was primarily due to increased income from joint venture investments, an increase in servicing fees, and an increase in

90



placement fee income, offset by a decrease in consulting income. Income from joint ventures increased by $5.3 million to $10.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, due primarily to an increase in gains from the disposal of real estate investments in the United Kingdom and reduced losses from our equity investment in the above-mentioned joint venture in Germany. Mortgage servicing fees increased by $2.1 million to $7.4 million during the same period, primarily as a result of an increase in the outstanding principal balance of our European servicing portfolio, which grew from $9.9 billion as of December 31, 2005 to $36.8 billion as of December 31, 2006 due to an increase in third-party servicing contracts. Placement fee income increased by $1.5 million to $20.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of an increase in loan originations. Loan originations increased by $2.3 billion to $4.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2006. The above increases in income were offset in part by a $3.3 million decrease in consulting income, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from a French technology subsidiary, which we sold in October 2006.

          The provision for loan losses was $46.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a credit of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in the provision was primarily driven by a deterioration in the cash flows relating to a loan receivable from the joint venture that invested in non-performing loans in Germany.

          Noninterest expense totaled $67.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $73.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $6.3 million decrease was primarily driven by the early prepayment and distribution of loans during the period, which resulted in a reversal of deferred placement fees that are accounted for as an expense. All other noninterest expense decreased by $2.8 million to $66.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 as a result of a reduction in operating costs from the implementation of cost reduction measures.

          Minority interest expense totaled $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to no minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2005. The expense was attributable to income allocable to minority investors in a United Kingdom real estate equity investment fund that is consolidated on our balance sheet.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

          Our North American Affordable Housing segment incurred a loss before income taxes of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to income before income taxes of $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $34.0 million decrease was primarily attributable to a non-recurring gain realized in 2007 partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense.

          Noninterest income totaled $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $48.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease of $43.7 million was primarily attributable to a gain on the sale of the majority of the affordable housing debt platform of approximately $71.5 million (partially offset in our consolidated financial statements by the impact of push down accounting reflected in "Corporate and Other") offset in part by an increase in net gains on the disposition of real estate investments totaling $12.3 million, and a $14.0 million reduction in losses relating to LIHTC yield guarantees.

          There is no current year provision for loan losses compared to a provision of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $1.5 million provision in 2007 related to a property acquired in a loan foreclosure.

          Noninterest expense totaled $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $6.9 million decrease was driven primarily by staff reductions and an overall reduction in operating expenses due to the sale of the majority of the affordable housing debt platform in February 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

          Income before income tax provision totaled $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a loss before income tax provision of $272.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $274.5 million improvement was driven by a significant increase in noninterest income combined with a decrease in the provision for loan losses and a reduction in noninterest expense.

          The segment recorded negative net interest income of $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to positive net interest income of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $12.6 million reduction resulted primarily from increased funding costs associated with carrying an inventory of equity investments in our LIHTC business, as well as a decrease in net interest income due to the sale of a majority of the affordable housing debt platform earlier in the year. In February 2007, approximately $1.0 billion of investment securities and mortgage loans held for sale were sold to an unaffiliated buyer and the buyer assumed approximately $0.7 billion in related financing in connection with the transaction.

          Noninterest income totaled $51.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to negative noninterest income of $185.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $237.1 million improvement was attributable to a gain on the sale of a majority of the affordable housing debt platform of approximately $71.5 million (offset in part in our consolidated financial statements by the impact of push down accounting reflected in "Corporate and other"), a $152.7 million reduction in losses relating to LIHTC yield guarantees and a non-recurring real estate impairment of $24.5 million recorded in 2006. These positive variances were partially offset by the loss of revenue resulting from the sale of a majority of the affordable housing debt platform.

          The provision for loan losses improved $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The favorable variance was primarily driven by the repayment of a $4.0 million pre-development loan that was originally reserved for during the year ended December 31, 2006.

92


          Noninterest expense totaled $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $78.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $32.1 million decrease was driven primarily by a $23.3 million reduction in compensation and benefits due to staff reductions, and an overall reduction in operating expenses due to the sale of a majority of the affordable housing debt platform in February 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

          The loss before income tax provision grew to $272.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $113.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $158.3 million increase was primarily due to a reduction in fee income to recognize costs incurred in connection with yield guarantees provided with respect to certain of our LIHTC funds, which were partially offset by decreases in noninterest expense.

          Net interest income was $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $10.8 million decrease is primarily due to a reduction in origination of high yield loans as a result of the transfer of that origination function to the North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment in 2006.

          Noninterest income was a loss of $185.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to noninterest income of $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $228.9 million reduction in income was attributable primarily to a reduction in guarantee fee income as a result of additional costs identified that are attributable to yield guarantees on syndicated guaranteed LIHTC funds. In addition, a reduction in the amount of affordable housing debt originations during the period also contributed to the decrease in income. Approximately $192.2 million of the decrease related to losses incurred on LIHTC funds and a reduction in the amount of LIHTC syndication fees recognized during the period. Originations of affordable housing loans and bonds decreased by $1.3 billion to $2.1 billion during the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily as a result of uncertainty in the market concerning our long-term commitment to providing financing for affordable housing.

          Provisions for loan losses were $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $12.3 million increase resulted from the impairment of loans made by our LIHTC group to properties in the pre-development phase.

          Noninterest expense was $78.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $173.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $95.8 million decrease primarily resulted from an impairment charge of $64.1 million to goodwill relating to our LIHTC business during 2005. We recorded these charges as a result of a deterioration of certain aspects of the business and our implementation of a new business plan, which resulted in a significant reduction in our expected future cash flows from the business. The remaining decrease was driven primarily by staffing level reductions in our affordable housing platform as a result of a decision to curtail originations, which resulted in a reduction in personnel and associated costs.

          There was no minority interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $2.1 million decrease relates to one multi-family housing partnership owned by the segment. The minority interest in this partnership was fully absorbed during 2005.

Critical Accounting Estimates

          The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts

93



of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of income and expense. Our management regularly evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions based on available information and experience. Because the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Certain of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment and are more complex than others in their application. We believe that the discussion below addresses our most critical accounting estimates that we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.

Determination of Fair Value

          We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is discussed in Notes 3 and 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact as to the manner in which we determine fair value but does require additional disclosures as discussed in Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

          We also adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 permits us to irrevocably elect fair value of the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 required that the difference between the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities elected and the fair value of such instruments be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2008, we elected fair value accounting for certain loan assets and deposit liabilities not previously carried at fair value. The after-tax cumulative adjustment from electing the fair value option for the selected financial instruments decreased retained earnings by $9.8 million on January 1, 2008.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 157, we categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

          We use market prices to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments, when available. If market prices were not available, we estimated fair value using models employing techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses. The assumptions used in these models, which typically include assumptions regarding interest rates, loan losses and prepayments, were independently verified against market observable data where possible. When market observable data was not available, the valuation of financial instruments was more subjective and involved a higher degree of judgment. Considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value; therefore, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

          Given the prevalence of fair value measurements in our financial statements, the control functions related to the valuation process are a critical component of our business operations. We employ control processes to validate the fair value of our financial instruments, including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, we review the valuation approach utilized to assure it is

94



appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable. Our reviews of the pricing models' theoretical soundness and appropriateness are performed by our employees with relevant expertise who are independent from the persons responsible for the lending and investment functions. The heads of our credit, market risk management and accounting departments are responsible for the oversight and valuation control processes and policies and for reporting the results of these processes and policies to our Audit Committee.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we were required to adjust our assets and liabilities as of March 23, 2006 to fair value to the extent of the 79% ownership interest exchanged in the Sponsor Transactions. The Sponsor Transactions were accounted for using push down accounting, which is a form of purchase accounting. Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. All of our assets and liabilities were revalued so that, as of the acquisition date, 79% of our assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value and 21% of our assets and liabilities remained at their historical cost basis. See "—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Consolidated Results."

          Identifiable intangible assets arising from the Sponsor Transactions primarily include customer relationships and contracts. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired. The estimated fair value of identified intangible assets are based on many factors including estimates of future cash flows associated with current customer relationships and general assumptions regarding the market that affect the cash flow projections.

          The valuation adjustments made in push down accounting were accounted for as adjustments to the cost basis of the assets and liabilities. Except for the adjustments to goodwill, the valuation adjustments are amortized into income and expense over the lives of the related assets and liabilities, and affect gains and losses at the time the assets are sold or the liabilities are transferred. Therefore, operating results for periods after the Sponsor Transactions will be impacted by the fair value adjustments recorded through push down accounting, but the effects will diminish over time, especially as they relate to assets held for sale at the date of the Sponsor Transactions.

Valuation of Loans Held for Sale

          The mortgage loans we hold for sale consist of domestic and international, fixed and floating rate loans that are secured by commercial and multifamily real estate properties. We typically classify these mortgage loans as held for sale at the time of origination in accordance with SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," or "SFAS No. 65." Following their origination, these loans remain classified as held for sale unless a change occurs in our ability or intent to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. We regularly review the appropriateness of our loan classifications based on a number of factors, including individual loan characteristics, market demand for our loan products, liquidity needs, capital requirements, the availability of distribution channels into which we have historically sold loans and corporate objectives.

          Our portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of larger balance commercial mortgage loans. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, we divided this portfolio into distinct pools for valuation purposes, based upon geographic location, loan type (fixed or floating rate), and exit strategy. These pools are consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 65 and we utilized the aggregate basis within each of our pools.

95


          In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, we elected to account for substantially all of our loans held for sale at fair value. The fair value of our loan portfolio is generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including updated securitization spreads where appropriate, interest rates, whole loan spreads for each property type based on loan-to-value ratios of collateral and other factors, and bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. In addition, the impact of potential extensions, interest-rate floors and unfunded commitments on our floating rate loan portfolio is taken into consideration when determining the fair value for each loan. We also consider adverse changes in borrowers' credit status and the fair value of collateral in estimating the fair value of certain loans. Although we base our loan valuations on observable inputs to the extent possible, the valuations are estimates. Changes in market conditions, borrower credit-worthiness and collateral values between the dates of management's estimates and the dates of disposition of the loans can have a significant impact on the amounts ultimately realized upon disposition. Due to significant use of unobservable pricing inputs, the majority of our loans held for sale as of March 31, 2008 are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of our portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale declined substantially in the latter half of 2007 and into the first quarter of 2008.

          Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded on an accrual basis as a component of interest income in the consolidated statement of operations. Interest income is accrued until the loans become 60 days contractually delinquent at which time accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income.

          During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, we reviewed the "held for sale" and "held for investment" classifications of our mortgage loan portfolio. After the reviews of our portfolios, we transferred approximately $4.5 billion of loans from "held for sale" to "held for investment" classification based on a determination that we had the intention and ability to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff. We reached this determination based upon our consideration of certain factors such as loan quality, loan duration and attractiveness of markets for the sale of loans in our "held for sale" portfolio. In particular, markets for commercial mortgage loan securitizations, syndications and participations deteriorated along with other credit markets in the second half of 2007, which adversely affected both the ability to sell and the prices for those loans and interests in such loans. As a result of these conditions as well as individual loan characteristics, we determined that the transferred loans should be retained rather than sold. In addition we considered other factors including our liquidity needs, regulatory capital requirements and our financial condition. Personnel across multiple disciplines were involved in the evaluation process. Each individual loan was valued and transferred at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in these periods.

Loan Sales and Securitizations

          We periodically enter into transactions in which we sell financial assets, principally commercial mortgage loans. Upon a transfer of financial assets, we sometimes retain or acquire subordinated interests in the related assets. In addition, we generally retain servicing rights for all mortgage loans sold or securitized.

          Gains and losses on such transactions are recognized using the guidance in SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125," or "SFAS No. 140," which is based on a financial components approach that focuses on control. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes

96



liabilities when extinguished. SFAS No. 140 is a complex standard that often requires significant management analysis and judgment.

          We determine the gain or loss on the sale of mortgage loans by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage loans between securities or loans sold and the interests retained, including mortgage servicing rights, based on their fair values. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. Whether we record a gain or loss on sale depends, in part, on the carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the interests retained based on their fair values at the date of transfer. Due to recent market developments discussed in "—Outlook and Recent Trends," the volume of loan sales and securitizations declined in the latter half of 2007 and into the first quarter of 2008, significantly decreasing our realized gains compared to historical levels. Realization of gains or losses on future sales is heavily dependent on the extent and timing of recovery of the markets for commercial mortgage products and changes in other market factors. See "Valuation of Loans Held for Sale" above. We recognized a pre-tax loss from the securitization of financial assets of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. We did not enter into any securitization transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Allowance for Loan Losses

          The allowance for loan losses provides for the risk of losses inherent in our portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is used to cover estimated losses on loans that have been specifically identified as being impaired.

          We utilize a risk-rating process for measuring credit exposure that combines quantitative analysis and qualitative judgment in order to measure potential loan losses. We initially allocate a quantitative risk rating to a loan based on modeling, or other objective, fact-based credit criteria that consider key financial data, such as a loan's debt service coverage ratio, loan-to-value ratio and time to maturity, and collateral characteristics, such as a property's location, type and occupancy. We subsequently adjust our initial quantitative rating based on our assessment of qualitative factors, such as quality of sponsorship, financial reporting, quality and stability of cash flow, loan structure, loan documentation and the loan's performance relative to underwriting.

          The estimates and assumptions we use in calculating our allowance for loan losses are based on a number of factors and considerations, which may include our experience and expectations concerning interest rates, credit spreads, rates of delinquencies and defaults on loans and loss recovery rates.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15," or "SFAS No. 114," impaired loans typically consist of those loans for which it is probable we will not be able to collect all contractual principal and interest amounts due. An impaired loan is generally valued based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and includes estimated costs of selling or realizing such collateral on a discounted basis. In addition to specific allowances for impaired loans, we also maintain general allowances that are based upon a collective evaluation of the portfolio as a whole and we estimate such losses in accordance with SFAS No. 5. This analysis considers our past loan loss experience, the current credit composition of the total portfolio, historical credit migration, property type diversification, default and loss severity statistics, and other relevant factors.

          The allowance for loan losses is increased as necessary by recording a charge to the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of operations. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Amounts recovered on previously charged-off loans are added back to the allowance for loan losses. Uncertainties about the economies in our company's primary market areas, including the United States, increase

97



uncertainty about management's estimates of the allowance for loan losses. Increases in unemployment and/or low employment, decreases in corporate profits and adverse trends in other key economic indicators may correlate with increasing loan delinquencies and other factors affecting the timing and amounts we ultimately realize on our portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment. As of March 31, 2008, our allowance for loan losses was $32.1 million.

Income Recognition and Impairments Relating to Non-Performing Loans Acquired

          We have acquired non-performing loans primarily in Asia, with a strategy of restructuring the loans or entering into workouts with borrowers, which may include foreclosure. We typically purchased these loans at a substantial discount to par, reflecting our determination that it was probable all amounts due under the loans' governing instruments may not be collected. These loans are accounted for in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer," or "SOP 03-3." Under SOP 03-3, the excess of the estimated undiscounted principal, interest and other cash flows expected to be collected over the initial investment in the acquired asset is accreted into interest income over the expected life of the asset. These loans are classified as held for investment on our balance sheet.

          We periodically perform detailed reviews of our portfolio of non-performing loans to determine whether there has been a change in expected cash flows. We update the estimated cash flows that are expected to be collected and evaluate whether the expected cash flows have changed, based upon the most recent information available. We determine the expected cash flows based on the current business plans relating to the assets. The business plans detail the current plan for disposal of the collateral, including estimates of the amounts and timing of future payments, foreclosures, and sales. These analyses also include anticipated costs to sell or other costs associated with resolving the debt.

          We adjust the amount of accretion for any loans or pools of loans that we acquired when there is an increase or decrease in the expected cash flows. Further, we assess impairment on all loans or pools of loans for which there has been a decrease in expected cash flows in accordance with SOP 03-3 and SFAS No. 114. We measure impairment based on the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan discounted using the loan's effective interest rate or, in specific circumstances, through the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral minus the estimated costs of selling or realizing the underlying collateral. Impairment is recognized as a charge to our provision for loan losses in our consolidated statement of operations.

          We curtailed purchases of non-performing loans during 2007 and into 2008, and have been disposing of some of our previously-acquired investments in such loans. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition are becoming less sensitive to changes in estimates of accretion and impairments on these loans than in prior periods. We exercise significant judgment in estimating the amount and timing of these expected cash flows. Differences between actual cash flows and estimated cash flows could have a material impact on our net income. The difference between the carrying value and the expected future cash flows, which we call accretable yield, was $83.0 million as of December 31, 2007.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

          We use derivative instruments in connection with our risk management and investment activities. Our primary objective in utilizing derivative instruments is to minimize market risk volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks related to our assets and liabilities. Minimizing this volatility enables us to mitigate the impact of market risk on earnings. Additionally, we use interest rate swaps to more closely match interest rate characteristics of our interest bearing liabilities with our interest earning assets. We also utilize derivative instruments to mitigate foreign

98



currency exposure related to foreign currency denominated transactions and our net investments in foreign operations. At times, we use derivative instruments in lieu of cash transactions for investment purposes.

          The derivative instruments that we use include swaps, caps, forwards, options, swaptions, spread locks, loan commitments, credit derivatives and treasury-related derivative instruments. These instruments may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," or "SFAS No. 133," as amended and interpreted by, among other pronouncements, SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," or "SFAS No. 149," we record derivative instruments at estimated fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of such instruments are accounted for depending on whether or not they qualify for hedge accounting.

          We formally document our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. For transactions that qualify for hedge accounting, this process includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value, cash flow, or foreign currency hedges to specific assets or pools of similar assets and specific liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet or to forecasted transactions.

          We expect all of our designated hedging relationships to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk during the hedge period. We also formally assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in estimated fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.

          We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (3) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedge instrument because: a) it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; b) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or c) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. The hedged asset or liability, if not normally carried at fair value, will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value and any asset or liability that was recorded pursuant to recognition of the firm commitment will be removed from the consolidated balance sheet and recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value and gains and losses that were accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, will be recognized immediately in current period earnings. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings.

Classification, Valuation and Impairment of Investment Securities including Retained Interests in Securitized Assets

          When we securitize mortgage loans in transactions accounted for as sales in accordance with SFAS No. 140, we may retain an interest in the assets sold. These retained interests may take the form of interest-only, investment grade, subordinate or unrated securities. The subordinate interests that we retain provide a form of credit enhancement for the more highly-rated securities.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the classification of investment securities is based on management's intent with respect to those securities. Investment securities classified as trading are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. Investment securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, which is a component of stockholders' equity. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific identification method and recognized in current period earnings. Interest income is recorded using the interest method which is reviewed and adjusted periodically based on changes in estimated cash flows.

          We determine the estimated fair value of an investment security by reference to a published external source, where available. External quotes are not available for a portion of these assets because of their relative lack of liquidity in the market. In these circumstances, we base valuations on internally-developed models that discount the expected cash flows of the security over the anticipated life of the security using an estimated yield adjusted for the risks associated with the investment. Our estimate of the fair value of these securities requires us to exercise significant judgment about the timing and amount of expected cash flows from these assets. In estimating the cash flows and post-loss yield for an investment, we consider various factors including estimated loan losses and defaults, prepayments, current yield curves, dealer quotations, if available, and estimated market yields for similar instruments. Due to the lack of transparency regarding inputs to the valuation, these investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

          Investment securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity are periodically reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets," or EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments," depending on the nature of the security. Impairment is measured using a systematic methodology intended to consider all available evidence. If the carrying value of an investment security exceeds its estimated fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, the magnitude and duration of the decline in estimated fair value, the performance of the underlying assets, and our intent and ability to hold the asset until its value recovers. Once a decline in estimated fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in our consolidated statement of operations and a new cost basis is established. Significant judgment is involved in some cases to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.

          The recent market developments that have affected mortgage loan valuations, as discussed above in "—Outlook and Recent Trends" and above, similarly affect valuations of investment securities collateralized by mortgage loans.

          Changes in model assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of retained interests in securitized assets. Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, summarizes the impact on the fair value of retained interests in securitized assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 due to a change in key assumptions. A

100



10% change in the assumed discount rate could have adversely affected the estimated fair value of our retained interests in taxable investment securities by approximately $4.4 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A 20% change could have adversely affected the estimated fair value by approximately $7.2 million and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Valuation and Impairment of Mortgage Servicing Rights

          In accordance with SFAS No. 140 as amended by SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets," we capitalize originated mortgage servicing rights based upon their fair value when the related loans are sold. We record purchased mortgage servicing rights at their cost at the time of acquisition, which approximates the fair value of such assets. Subsequent to origination or acquisition, we carry our mortgage servicing rights at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. We record amortization expense for each stratum (as described more fully below) in proportion to, and over the period of, the projected net servicing cash flows.

          We determine the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights based upon market transactions for comparable servicing assets or, in the absence of representative market information, based upon other available market evidence and modeled market expectations of the present value of future estimated net cash flows that market participants would expect to be derived from servicing. Because benchmark market transaction data and quoted market prices are generally not available, we estimate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights through a discounted cash flow analysis and evaluation of current market information. We derive cash flows based upon internal operating assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants, such as prepayment rates, defaults, interest rates, required yields, discount rates, costs to service and other assumptions. We consider all available information and exercise significant judgment in estimating and assuming values for key variables in the modeling and discounting process.

          We evaluate mortgage servicing rights for impairment by stratifying our portfolio according to predominant risk characteristics, primarily investor and loan type. To the extent that the carrying value of an individual stratum exceeds its estimated fair value, we consider the mortgage servicing right asset to be impaired. We recognize impairment that is considered to be temporary through the establishment of a valuation allowance, with a corresponding charge to earnings in the period that the impairment is determined to have occurred. If the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, the valuation allowance is reduced along with the carrying value of the mortgage servicing right.

          We recognize gains and losses on sales of mortgage servicing rights when the related sales contracts have been executed and legal title and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the servicing rights have passed to the buyer. We determine gains and losses to be the difference between the net sales proceeds we receive and the carrying value of the servicing rights sold less our costs to sell the servicing rights.

          As of March 31, 2008, we had not recognized any valuation adjustments on our four principal strata of mortgage servicing rights. Generally, valuations of servicing rights for commercial mortgages are less sensitive to change than valuations of servicing rights for residential mortgages, due to lower levels of prepayments and other factors. Declines in values are most likely to occur in circumstances when both interest rates are declining and commercial real estate credit markets are competitive, or when defaults on underlying loans increase. In the current economic environment, availability of credit has declined thereby slowing prepayments, but there is increasing uncertainty about borrower performance. See "—Allowance for Loan Losses" above.

          Changes in model assumptions can have a significant impact on the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this

101



prospectus summarizes the impact on the fair value of our retained interests in mortgage servicing rights as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 due to a change in key assumptions. A 10% change in the assumed discount rate could have adversely affected the fair value of our retained interests in mortgage servicing rights by approximately $3.3 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A 20% change could have adversely affected the fair value by approximately $6.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Liability for Affordable Housing Guarantees

          We have syndicated limited partnership interests in affordable housing partnerships. These investments are in the form of limited partner ownership interests that are pooled into funds ("upper-tier funds"). These funds hold limited partner ownership interests in various operating partnerships that develop, own, and operate affordable housing properties throughout the United States. In certain upper-tier funds, we have guaranteed a specified rate of return to the investors. Returns to investors in the partnerships are principally derived from flow-through low-income housing tax credits and tax losses generated by underlying operating partnership entities ("lower-tier partnerships").

          Syndicated affordable housing partnerships that contain a guarantee are reflected in our consolidated financial statements under the financing method in accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," or "SFAS No. 66." More specifically, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and equity investments (in the lower-tier partnerships) of the guaranteed upper-tier funds are included in our consolidated balance sheet. Liabilities of the guaranteed syndicated real estate partnerships consist primarily of a financing liability, initially equal to the amount of equity contributed by each investor, payable to each tax credit fund investor. The financing liability, included as a component of Real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, is extinguished over the life of the guaranteed upper-tier funds as annual tax benefits guaranteed to each investor are delivered.

          Returns to investors in the upper-tier funds are principally derived from flow-through low-income housing tax credits and tax losses generated by lower-tier partnerships. We are exposed to losses based on our limited partnership interests and to the investors in the guaranteed upper-tier funds for a specific guaranteed rate of return. The loss exposure represents the potential under-delivery of income tax benefits by the upper-tier funds to the investors. In the event of a shortfall in the delivery of tax benefits to the investors, we are required to make cash payments to the investors of the upper-tier funds.

          We initially quantify the costs associated with maintaining our yield guarantees, and then subsequently evaluate those costs on a quarterly basis, in order to ensure that the recorded liability for each guaranteed tax credit fund is sufficient to cover repayment of principal plus the guaranteed yield to the investors. When we identify a deficiency in that liability, the liability is increased to cover the shortfall associated with that tax credit fund. The loss contingency policy is governed by SFAS No. 5, which requires establishment of a liability for losses when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The SFAS No. 5 liability is reduced as payments are made to settle it. When we applied push down accounting on March 23, 2006 as a result of the Sponsor Transactions, we recorded an estimate of the fair value of the guarantees, which was in excess of the liability determined under SFAS No. 5. We amortize that excess using a systematic and rational method, which approximates straight-line over the period of delivery of the tax benefits to investors, except that amortization of the liability for a particular fund may be accelerated when certain events occur and result in partial settlement of the guarantee, such as the sale of a lower-tier partnership and related settlement with the guaranteed investors.

102


          The estimates and assumptions we use in determining our cost estimates for providing guaranteed yields on guaranteed LIHTC funds are based upon a number of factors and considerations. These may include operating experience and expectations of projected funding requirements for lower-tier partnerships for negative cash flow, deferred maintenance costs, shortfalls in the permanent loan financing amount as compared to the outstanding construction loan balance or other areas where the lower-tier partnerships require funds to enable them to deliver the tax benefits to the upper-tier partnerships. In addition to the specific loss contingencies for the lower-tier partnerships, we provide for expected losses based upon historical losses also in accordance with SFAS No. 5. These general loss contingencies consider historical losses, lower-tier partnership property operating status, general partner status, geographic segmentation and other relevant factors.

          Significant judgment is involved to estimate the guarantee liability as of any financial reporting date. That judgment is made more difficult by the fact that there is a period of approximately 12 to 17 years during which the guarantees are in effect, and it is difficult to estimate the amount of guarantee payments (or other payments to support the performance of the funds) that will be necessary over such a lengthy period. Therefore, the estimate is inherently imprecise.

          The estimate of the fair value of the aforementioned guarantee liability recorded in push down accounting, and periodic estimates of SFAS No. 5 liabilities described above, involve significant estimates with varying degrees of uncertainty. Amounts ultimately realized as income by us as the liability for real estate syndication proceeds is reduced are uncertain as to timing, and the total amount realized over time depends on the operating performance of the lower-tier partnerships and the ability of the upper-tier funds to deliver tax credits and, in some cases, guaranteed yields, to investors. We have not originated any new lower-tier partnerships since 2005, and the remaining expected lives of the upper-tier partnerships vary from 12 to 17 years.

          As of March 31, 2008, the estimated liability for the LIHTC fund guarantees, which included a deferred income component, was $395.4 million. Our future operating results may be significantly affected by the differences between actual expenditures related to the guarantees over time and the amount we have currently estimated and accrued.

Accounting for Income Taxes

          As described above under "—Understanding Our Financial Results—Income Taxes," upon the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, we became deconsolidated from the General Motors Corporation-controlled tax group and are now liable for worldwide taxes based solely on our consolidated operations as a standalone taxpayer.

          We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109. We determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which we expect the deferred tax asset or liability to be realized or settled. We recognize the effect on our deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. We provide a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, we accrue loss contingencies resulting from tax audits or uncertain tax positions when the potential loss can be reasonably estimated and where the occurrence is probable. On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109 by defining the confidence level that an income tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is

103



"more-likely-than-not" to be sustained solely on its technical merits. The "more-likely-than-not" threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized. The determination of whether a tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained can involve a considerable amount of judgment by management.

          As a result of adopting FIN 48, management reviewed the income tax positions it has recorded in the application of push down accounting and has evaluated the impact of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 93-7, "Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination," or "EITF 93-7," as it relates to income tax exposures related to periods prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Under the guidance of EITF 93-7, we recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our predecessor period tax liabilities as an increase to goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. For our successor period tax liabilities, we recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet. Adjustments to tax liabilities subsequent to the adoption of FIN 48 (e.g., through actual or effective settlement) are recorded through income tax expense or through additional adjustments to goodwill depending on whether the liabilities arose from transactions prior to or after the Sponsor Transactions. We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. See Note 15 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

          In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" or "SFAS No. 155." Among other things, this standard permits, but does not require, fair value accounting for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. We hold retained interests in securitized financial assets that were previously covered under the exemption provided in Derivatives Implementation Group Issue D-1, "Application of Statement 133 to Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." Because SFAS No. 155 nullified this exemption, we were required to evaluate our positions in these assets to determine whether bifurcation was required. We adopted SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

          In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets" or "SFAS No. 156." SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and provides the option to either carry servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, or to continue to recognize periodic amortization expense and assess the servicing assets and servicing liabilities for impairment as originally required by SFAS No. 140. This option may be applied by class of servicing asset or liability. We adopted SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. In adopting this statement, we elected to continue recognizing periodic amortization expense and assess our servicing assets and servicing liabilities for impairment as originally required by SFAS No. 140 and, thus, the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

          In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings," or "SAB No. 109." SAB No. 109 supersedes SAB No. 105, but retains the view expressed in SAB No. 105 that no internally-developed intangible assets, such as customer relationship intangible assets, should be included in the measurement of the estimated

104



fair value of loan commitment derivatives. That view extends to all written loan commitments accounted for at fair value through earnings. The guidance in SAB No. 109 is effective for all written loan commitments recorded at fair value that are entered into, or substantially modified, in the period after adoption. We adopted SAB No. 109 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

          In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, "Year-End Help for Expensing Employee Stock Options." This SAB expresses the views of the SEC regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, "Share-Based Payment," or "SAB 107," in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. SAB No. 110 has no impact on our consolidated financial statements as we do not use the "simplified" method in developing an estimate of the expected term for our share options.

          In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FIN 39-1, "Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39," or "FSP FIN 39-1." FSP FIN 39-1 modifies FIN No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts," and permits companies to offset cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions under certain circumstances. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. We adopted FSP FIN 39-1 on January 1, 2008 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

          In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies," or "SOP 07-1." SOP 07-1 addresses when the accounting principles of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies must be applied by an entity and whether those accounting principles must be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting. In October 2007, the FASB voted to indefinitely defer the effective date of SOP 07-1.

          In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 46(R)-7, "Application of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to Investment Companies," or "FSP FIN 46(R)-7." FSP FIN 46(R)-7 makes permanent the temporary deferral of the application of the provisions of FIN 46(R) to unregistered investment companies, and extends the scope exception from applying FIN 46(R) to include registered investment companies. FSP FIN 46(R)-7 is effective upon adoption of SOP 07-1, the effective date of which has been indefinitely deferred.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations," or "SFAS No. 141R," which improves reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete, comparable, and relevant information for investors and other users of financial statements. To achieve this goal, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R, any adjustments to the FIN 48 reserve are recorded as an increase to goodwill if an expense and, if a benefit, are applied (a) first to reduce to zero any goodwill related to the acquisition, (b) second to reduce to zero other noncurrent intangible assets related to the acquisition, and (c) third to reduce income tax expense. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R, the above rule will no longer apply and any expense or benefit associated with realizing (or re-measuring) unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as part of income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is

105



on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51," or "SFAS No. 160," which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.

          In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP No. FAS 157-2, "Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157," or "FSP FAS 157-2." This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP FAS 157-2 became effective upon issuance and was adopted by our company.

          In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," or "SFAS No. 161." SFAS No. 161 changes disclosure requirements about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the disclosures included in our consolidated financial statements.

          In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets," or "FSP FAS 142-3." This FSP amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The FSP affects entities with recognized intangible assets and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.

          In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," or "SFAS No. 162," which, when effective, identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 162 on our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          We require substantial amounts of capital to support our operations and growth plans. Members of our senior management, in consultation with our board of directors, establish our

106



overall liquidity and capital allocation strategies. A key objective of these strategies is to support the successful execution of our business strategy while ensuring that we have sufficient ongoing liquidity throughout the business cycle to service our financial obligations as they become due. When making funding and capital allocation determinations, our management considers business performance; the availability of, and costs and benefits associated with, different funding sources; current and expected market and general economic conditions; our balance sheet and capital structure; our targeted liquidity profile and risks relating to our funding needs. In carrying out these activities, our management monitors, evaluates and seeks to control the impact that our business activities have on our balance sheet, liquidity and capital structure, thereby helping to ensure that our operations are aligned with our liquidity and capital allocation strategies.

          We require short-term liquidity to fund commercial mortgage loans that we originate and hold on our consolidated balance sheet pending sale, including through syndication, participation or securitization. We generally require longer-term funding to finance the loans, real estate and investment securities that we hold for investment.

          As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $1.1 billion in cash, of which $227.2 million was restricted under current regulatory and other contractual arrangements. This represented a net decrease in cash of approximately $326.6 million from December 31, 2007. Readily available cash and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2008, totaled $0.9 billion (excluding cash held by Capmark Bank). Included in this total is $766.3 million of borrowing capacity.

          Our primary sources of liquidity are (1) proceeds from the sale, syndication or securitization of loans and payments from our loan portfolio, (2) proceeds from the issuance of short-term and long-term borrowings/deposits, (3) proceeds from the sale of real estate equity investments and other real estate related investments and (4) net cash from our operations. Our principal debt financing sources have consisted of (1) committed unsecured funding provided by banks, including our senior credit facility, our bridge loan and other bank loans; (2) our senior unsecured notes; (3) other committed unsecured debt, including our junior subordinated debentures; (4) secured funding facilities, including borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank made through Capmark Bank, repurchase agreements and other secured funding facilities; and (5) other uncommitted funding sources, including time deposits and certificates of deposit maintained with our banking subsidiaries. These financing arrangements provide us with diverse sources of short-term and long-term funding and allow us to borrow amounts on a secured and unsecured basis, in a variety of currencies and at interest rates that are fixed or floating, in the geographical locations in which we operate.

          Our primary uses of liquidity are for (1) the origination and purchases of loans, (2) the repayment of short-term and long-term borrowings and related interest, (3) the purchase of real estate equity and other real estate related investments, and (4) the funding of our operating expenses.

          During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used net cash of $434.9 million in operating activities, including $1.7 billion for the origination of loans held for sale and $625.9 million due to the net change in certain assets and liabilities. These cash outlays were largely offset by $1.7 billion of proceeds from sales of and payments from loans held for sale and $175.8 million generated by other operations in the quarter. In April 2008, we sold interests in loans in our European portfolio for approximately $1.8 billion in cash and used a majority of the proceeds to repay indebtedness.

          We used net cash of $516.8 million in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to the origination or purchase of loans held for investment totaling $752.2 million; purchases of equity investments totaling $62.6 million; and net purchases of real

107



estate investments totaling $29.7 million, offset in part by the receipt of approximately $334.9 million from the repayment of loans held for investment and proceeds from investment securities.

          Within our financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008, we obtained approximately $597.3 million in net cash primarily from a net increase of $1.6 billion in our short-term and long-term borrowings that were partly offset by a net decrease of $1.1 billion in our deposit liabilities. During the quarter, we increased our utilization of our revolving credit facility and increased our secured borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.

          Starting in the third quarter of 2007, the markets for real estate related credit experienced a high degree of volatility, and this condition has restricted the availability and increased the costs of debt financing for real estate related assets such as those that we originate and finance. Although these developments have been most acute with regard to subprime residential mortgage assets, the overall reduction in liquidity and increases in the cost of funds across all areas of the debt capital markets has continued. In the first quarter of 2008, conditions in the credit and debt markets continued to deteriorate. Credit spreads (which directly affect our cost of funds) have continued to widen. Banks and other lending institutions have tightened lending standards and restricted credit. The structured credit markets, including the CMBS and CDO markets, have remained severely limited. Although delinquencies in the commercial real estate markets have not significantly increased in the first quarter, the lack of liquidity in the CMBS and other commercial mortgage markets has continued to negatively affect origination, sales and financing activity.

          In the United States, the Federal Reserve has responded to these market conditions by lowering the federal funds rate from a high of 5.25% in September 2007 to 2.00% in April 2008 and by providing liquidity to financial institutions through various funding programs. Notwithstanding the Federal Reserve's measures, in which Capmark Bank has participated, capital markets conditions remain challenging. Our cost of funds has increased and we have experienced an overall reduction in liquidity, including with respect to certain types of financing that we utilize, such as repurchase financing for commercial mortgage related assets, CMBS, CDOs, Brokered CDs and unsecured corporate debt. Due to current credit market conditions, the cost of funds for certain of our financing facilities has increased and several of our financing agreements were not renewed.

          As a further consequence of current market conditions, we have experienced significant reductions in originations, resulting in a reduction in related fees, as well as a decline in sales of loans we have originated, which has increased the principal risk exposure associated with our lending activities. Our expectation is that the commercial real estate market will continue to be stressed throughout 2008 due to weaker economic conditions and reduced liquidity.

          Since the downturn in the second half of 2007, we have continued to take actions to maintain sufficient liquidity to support our business operations in the current difficult credit environment, including the following:

    we managed the volume and mix of loan originations among product types to emphasize products with better liquidity and lower funding costs, including loans originated under GSE programs, loans originated as correspondent lender and loans funded by Capmark Bank. During the first quarter of 2008, our total loan originations of $2.7 billion primarily included $1.3 billion of loans originated under GSE programs, $646.2 million of loans originated as correspondent lender, and $616.6 million of loans originated through Capmark Bank.

    we generated over $2.0 billion of cash from repayments of loans held for sale and investment and sales and syndications of loans and other investments in the first quarter of 2008 and an additional $1.8 billion of cash from the European loan sale in April 2008.

108


    we extended or refinanced over $680 million of previously existing borrowing capacity on a committed basis and lengthened the weighted average maturity of funding at Capmark Bank by increasing our utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank funding by over $450 million and reducing our use of Brokered CDs.

    we continue to control noninterest expenses.

Asset Sale Capabilities

          We have traditionally generated liquidity and reduced our principal risk associated with loans that we fund by monetizing a significant portion of those assets through asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations. As a result of these efforts, we have had a greater degree of control over the risk associated with our loan portfolio, even during periods of strong origination volume. We have established relationships with banks, insurance companies, GSEs, federal agencies, investment funds, opportunity funds and third-party conduits that provide us with substantial asset sale capabilities, which we believe can provide us with an important source of liquidity. However, our ability to sell loans and other assets has been negatively impacted by the overall disruption in the credit markets. See "—Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions—Securitizations."

Credit Ratings

          Our reliance on debt financing to fund a portion of our operations makes access to sources of short-term and long-term unsecured financing important. The cost and availability of unsecured debt financing generally are dependent on our short-term and long-term credit ratings. Factors that are significant to the determination of our credit ratings or that otherwise affect our ability to raise short-term and long-term financing include the level and volatility of our earnings, our relative competitive position, our risk management policies, our access to sources of liquidity, our capital adequacy, our level of leverage, the credit quality of our balance sheet, our ability to retain key personnel and legal, regulatory and tax developments.

          The following table presents the credit ratings and ratings outlook assigned to our unsecured indebtedness by Moody's, S&P and Fitch as of the date of this prospectus. Credit ratings are opinions of a rated entity's ability to meet its ongoing obligations. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold securities and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

Financing Arrangements and Other Funding Sources

          We have access to short-term and long-term funding under a broad range of secured and unsecured financing arrangements. These arrangements allow us to borrow funds in U.S. dollars, pounds sterling, euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Taiwanese dollars and other currencies, depending on our financing requirements. Interest is payable under these financing arrangements primarily at floating rates that are determined by reference to a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR or EURIBOR, and, in some cases, at fixed rates. When making determinations as to which sources of funds to access, we generally seek to finance our assets with borrowings that are denominated in the same currency and that bear interest based on the same benchmark rates. When we are unable to match the currency and interest rates that are applicable to our assets and liabilities, we seek to enter into derivative transactions to achieve a similar result. For a description of our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and additional information concerning our strategy for mitigating those risks, see "—Risk Management—Market Risk Management."

          The availability of financing arrangements and other funding sources has recently been impacted as concerns pertaining to the deterioration of the residential mortgage market have expanded to almost all areas of the debt capital markets, including corporate debt, asset-backed securities and commercial real estate finance. This has resulted in a general reduction of liquidity in the commercial real estate sector. It has also caused a significant widening of the credit spreads on asset sales, including syndications and securitizations, in recent months generating reduced proceeds and a delay in the ability to execute such transactions.

          We will continue to monitor the conditions in the debt capital markets and to adjust the use of our various financing sources according to availability, term and cost, as well as to adjust the level and mix of our loan originations, ownership and real estate investment activities in order to maintain sufficient liquidity in light of market conditions. If adverse conditions in the credit markets continue or worsen, our primary sources of liquidity may be adversely affected.

          The following table presents information concerning the financing arrangements and other funding sources that we had in place as of March 31, 2008.

Notes:

(1)
Contractual capacity under our term loan is $2.75 billion in U.S. dollar equivalent amounts. Foreign currency fluctuations resulted in amounts outstanding greater than the contractual capacity but less than the 105% excess limitations for foreign currency fluctuations as of March 31, 2008. Our revolving credit facility's maximum facility limit was $59.5 million lower than its contractual capacity as of March 31, 2008, as a result of capacity reductions for the excess amounts outstanding under our term loan described above and amounts reserved in respect of interest payments on certain borrowings.

(2)
We extended the maturity date of our bridge loan to March 23, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the facility. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Bridge Loan." In June 2008, we repaid $600 million of the bridge loan with borrowings under our senior credit facility, leaving an outstanding balance of $1.1 billion.

(3)
Issuance of secured funding is subject to limitations under the senior credit facility. Secured funding lenders require a specific amount of eligible assets to be pledged to secure the amount of credit extended.

(4)
In 2007, one of our lenders under our repurchase agreements initiated margin maintenance calls of approximately $14.4 million as a result of declines in the fair value of our collateral, which repurchase agreement has subsequently been terminated. We did not experience any margin calls as a result of declining collateral values in the first quarter of 2008.

(5)
Included in funding limit amounts are term loans that have a stated maturity date on which lenders do not have any requirement to extend the borrowings.

(8)
For funding sources that do not, by their terms, have a limit on the amount that may be drawn, we have calculated the funding limit as the amount drawn as of March 31, 2008.

          In addition to the outstanding funding reflected in the above table, at March 31, 2008, we had $2.3 billion of stockholders' equity and $100.6 million of common stock classified as mezzanine equity. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $1.9 billion was outstanding under our revolving credit

111



facility and approximately $766.3 million remained available and we held $1.1 billion of total cash, including $695.6 million of cash held at Capmark Bank.

          Of the total deposit liabilities reflected in the above table, $4.5 billion consisted of federally insured Brokered CDs issued by Capmark Bank, as compared to $5.6 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2007.

          In 2007, Brokered CD liabilities served as a key liquidity source for Capmark Bank. Although market conditions adversely affected the availability and cost of other sources of funding, Capmark Bank increased its deposit liabilities to support growth in its commercial mortgage loan portfolio as the Brokered CD market remained stable and provided consistently available funding at attractive costs compared to other possible funding sources.

          Consistent with our liquidity and capital allocation strategy, we maintain diverse funding sources to provide us with a cost effective and flexible mix of funding. While we do not maintain specific target levels for Brokered CDs, we manage the level of Brokered CDs in response to changes in investor demand, prevailing funding spreads and overall economic conditions. When issuing Brokered CDs, one of our objectives is to maintain an evenly distributed maturity profile, resulting in typical maturities of six months and one year, as the Brokered CD market has the highest liquidity in deposits with maturities of one year or less. When there is investor demand, we may issue longer term deposits to extend the weighted average maturity of our overall funding profile.

          General economic conditions may affect our ability to access the Brokered CD market. We also face the risk that we may need to issue Brokered CDs at higher rates. This increase in rates could have a negative impact on our net interest income.

          If we are not able to access the Brokered CD market or issue Brokered CDs on acceptable terms, we have established alternative sources of liquidity. We maintain cash and cash equivalents that represent approximately 5% of Capmark Bank's asset base. Capmark Bank also has access to secured funding through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and the Federal Reserve Bank that enable us to borrow up to $2.0 billion, of which $375.4 million was available as of March 31, 2008. Additionally, deposits related to our servicing platform of approximately $1 billion are eligible for deposit at Capmark Bank. Capmark Bank is also able to draw upon our revolving credit facility. The availability under the senior credit facility, as of March 31, 2008, was $766.3 million. Throughout the first quarter of 2008, we increased our usage of these alternative sources of funding which led to a decline in our issuance of Brokered CDs during the first quarter of 2008.

          Management believes that our company's current financing sources and cash flows are adequate to meet our liquidity needs for a reasonable period including the next 12 months.

          As of March 31, 2008, we also maintained a number of other committed and uncommitted secured and other unsecured funding programs sponsored by a variety of lenders with an aggregate principal amount totaling $4.1 billion. Of that amount, $2.9 billion is considered to be uncommitted and/or is maturing in the near term.

Primary Long-Term Funding

Senior Credit Facility

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we and a number of our subsidiaries entered into our senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. Our senior credit facility is unsecured and consists of a $2.75 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $2.75 billion multi-currency term loan facility. The revolving credit facility is divided into a U.S. sub-facility, a Canadian sub-facility, an Irish sub-facility and a Japanese sub-facility. The U.S.

112



sub-facility only permits borrowings to be denominated in U.S. dollars. All other sub-facilities allow for borrowings that are denominated in euros, pounds sterling, Japanese yen or U.S. dollars and, in the case of the Canadian sub-facility, borrowings that are also denominated in Canadian dollars. In addition, the revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same day notice, which are commonly referred to as swing lines. We believe that these sub-facilities provide us with a stable and important source of liquidity for funding our international operations and have reduced our dependence on secured financing.

          Principal amounts outstanding under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility are due and payable in full, at maturity, on March 23, 2011. We are permitted to borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the revolving credit facility from time to time. The term loan may be prepaid prior to maturity but may not be redrawn. As of March 31, 2008, we had $1.9 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility (with $766.3 million of availability for future borrowings) and $2.8 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the term loan. These borrowings were used to refinance indebtedness owed to GMAC at the time of the Sponsor Transactions and to fund subsequent investments and operating activities. These amounts bear interest at rates equal to short-term index rates appropriate for the currencies borrowed (such as LIBOR) plus a margin that is based on the credit ratings assigned to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. In addition, we pay to the lenders a facility fee based on the committed amount of the facility. See "—Credit Ratings" and "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Credit Facility—Interest Rates and Fees."

Bridge Loan

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we entered into a $5.25 billion unsecured bridge loan agreement with a syndicate of lenders. We borrowed the full amount available under the bridge loan in connection with the Sponsor Transactions to refinance a portion of the indebtedness that we owed to GMAC at the time. In December 2006, we repaid $1.5 billion of the bridge loan and in May 2007 we repaid approximately $2.0 billion of the bridge loan with a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of our notes leaving an outstanding balance as of March 31, 2008 of $1.7 billion. In June 2008, we repaid $600 million of the bridge loan with borrowings under the senior credit facility, leaving an outstanding balance of $1.1 billion. These amounts bear interest at a rate that is equal to a specified LIBOR rate plus a margin that is based on the credit ratings that are assigned to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. In addition, we pay a facility fee based on the amount of bridge loan financing outstanding. See "—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Ratings" and "Description of Other Indebtedness—Senior Credit Facility—Interest Rates and Fees."

          We have extended the maturity date of the bridge loan to March 23, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the facility. The bridge loan contains financial and other covenants that are substantially similar to those contained in our senior credit facility.

Notes

          On May 10, 2007, we issued $2.55 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of $850 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2010 (of which $20 million were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2007), $1.2 billion of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and $500 million of 6.300% Senior Notes due 2017. A portion of the net proceeds of the issuance of those notes was used to repay approximately $2.0 billion due under our bridge loan and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. On April 30, 2008, we completed an exchange offer for the outstanding notes and cancelled the notes issued on May 10, 2007 in exchange for the issuance of the publicly registered notes offered hereby. The 2010 floating rate notes will mature on May 10, 2010, the 2012 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10, 2012 and the 2017 fixed rate notes will mature on May 10,

113



2017 and are subject to earlier optional or mandatory redemption under specified circumstances. The interest rate payable on the notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody's or S&P modifies the debt rating assigned to our notes.

          Our board authorized a debt repurchase program pursuant to which we were permitted to repurchase (through open market repurchases or private transactions) and retire up to $100 million of the notes, all of which were repurchased as of June 4, 2008, and which were subsequently retired.

Secured Funding

Repurchase Agreements

          We are a party to several repurchase agreements with financial institutions located in the United States, which we typically use to fund loans and investment securities. Under a repurchase agreement, we sell loans or investment securities that we hold on our consolidated balance sheet to a counterparty subject to an agreement by the counterparty to sell the same loans or securities back to us at a later date. The repurchase price is generally equal to the original sale price plus an interest factor that is typically based on a benchmark plus a margin. We account for these agreements as indebtedness that is secured by the loans or securities that are sold to the counterparty.

          As of March 31, 2008, approximately $191.8 million of our indebtedness was attributable to repurchase agreements. Our obligations under these agreements were denominated in U.S. dollars and typically had a term of one month or less. Because we borrow under repurchase agreements based on the estimated fair value of the pledged loans and securities, and because changes in interest rates can negatively impact the values of the pledged loans and securities, our ongoing ability to borrow under our existing repurchase facilities may be limited and our lenders may initiate margin calls in the event the value of the pledged instruments declines as a result of adverse changes in interest rates or credit spreads.

          The following table presents information concerning our obligations under repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2008.

This facility terminated on April 2, 2008.

Other Secured Funding Facilities

          We have established other uncommitted secured funding facilities with financial institutions located in the United States, Asia and Europe, which we currently use to fund loans and for other operating and investing activities. The facilities typically provide for the transfer of loans and investment securities to one or more special purpose entities, some of which issue debt securities

114



against those assets. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $3.0 billion of our indebtedness was attributable to indebtedness incurred under these other uncommitted secured facilities. This indebtedness was denominated in U.S. dollars, pounds sterling and Japanese yen. The balance of these facilities had an aggregate limit of $4.7 billion as of March 31, 2008, of which $1.7 billion was available as of that date on an uncommitted basis and subject to compliance with collateral requirements. Issuance of secured indebtedness is subject to limitations under the various facilities. The lenders of these secured funding facilities require a specific amount of eligible assets as collateral for the amounts borrowed.

          The following table presents information concerning our other secured funding facilities as of March 31, 2008.

Notes:

(1)
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System established a temporary term auction facility in December 2007 to provide cash after interest rate cuts failed to break banks' reluctance to lend amid concerns relating to current market conditions. The funding is available to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capmark Bank.

(2)
After giving effect to the sale of European loans in April 2008, as of April 30, 2008, the amount outstanding under this facility was approximately $73.7 million. As of May 30, 2008, this facility expired and we have repaid all obligations thereunder.

Secured Bank and Third-Party Funding

          We utilize committed secured funding to finance our ownership of certain real estate investments in the United States, Taiwan and the Philippines. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $85.6 million of our outstanding indebtedness was attributable to indebtedness incurred under committed secured financing arrangements with a number of lenders. This indebtedness was denominated in U.S. dollars, Philippine pesos and Taiwanese dollars and had a weighted average maturity of 26 months.

Unsecured Funding

Other Unsecured Funding—Uncommitted

          We have several Federal Funds relationships with financial institutions in the United States that provide an additional uncommitted source of short-term unsecured funding to Capmark Bank. We also have $310.1 million of uncommitted revolving credit line capacity with several institutions in United States, Ireland, Canada, the Philippines and China that similarly provide us with an uncommitted source of short-term unsecured funding. As of March 31, 2008, approximately

115



$295.8 million of our outstanding indebtedness was attributable to funding provided under these arrangements.

Other Bank and Third-Party Loans

          We have entered into term loans and committed credit lines with a number of banks and non-bank finance companies in North America and Asia. We use these loans to fund our short-term liquidity needs in connection with our lending and real estate related investment activities. As of March 31, 2008, we had $102.5 million of indebtedness outstanding under these financing arrangements. These borrowings are denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen and Taiwanese dollars and bear interest at either fixed or floating rates. As of March 31, 2008, our borrowings under these financing arrangements had a weighted average maturity of 2 months.

Bank Deposit Liabilities

          Our subsidiaries include Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank, which are industrial banks that are chartered by the State of Utah, and Capmark Bank Europe, an Irish bank. Capmark Bank accepts deposits in the form of time and money market deposits and issues non-callable certificates of deposit in the Brokered CD market. Most of the non-callable certificates of deposit issued by Capmark Bank have terms of one year or less. Escrow Bank accepts deposits of principal, interest, escrow and reserve balances that borrowers maintain in custodial accounts for the purposes of paying principal and interest on their loans and funding repairs, tenant improvements, taxes and insurance on the properties that are financed with their loans. A portion of these deposits are eligible for investment as money market deposits at Capmark Bank, and these deposits also provide Capmark Bank with an alternative form of financing. Deposits that are made with Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are insured by the FDIC, subject to applicable limitations. Capmark Bank Europe accepts time deposits from other financial institutions.

          The following table presents information concerning the deposit liabilities of Capmark Bank, Escrow Bank and Capmark Bank Europe as of March 31, 2008.

Other Consolidated Debt Agreements

          As described under "—Understanding Our Financial Results—Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships," we are required under GAAP to consolidate the assets and liabilities of certain upper-tier and lower-tier partnerships that form part of our LIHTC funds. These partnerships generally have amounts of secured indebtedness outstanding. As of March 31, 2008, approximately $301.7 million of our outstanding indebtedness was attributable to indebtedness of these partnerships that were required to be included in our consolidated balance sheet under GAAP. We account for certain securitizations as on-balance sheet borrowings secured by a pledge of collateral, due to the structure of the transactions. As of March 31, 2008, balances under these collateralized borrowings totaled $261.6 million. The remaining debt in this category is comprised of $28.8 million in the form of an unaffiliated mortgage loan on a property on which we had foreclosed.

116


Junior Subordinated Debentures

          We issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our junior subordinated debentures to Capmark Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, which in turn issued $250.0 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate trust preferred securities to GMAC in exchange for the reduction of an equivalent amount of indebtedness that we owed GMAC at the time. The trust preferred securities entitle GMAC to receive, on a quarterly basis, cumulative cash distributions of amounts actually received by the trust in respect of our junior subordinated debentures, including upon redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. Interest accrues and is payable on the junior subordinated debentures on a quarterly basis at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. As a result of two consecutive fiscal quarters of negative adjusted earnings before taxes, we determined that a mandatory deferral of interest payments event has occurred. We provided notice of such occurrence to the indenture trustee. Upon the occurrence and during the existence of a mandatory deferral event, we may pay interest on the junior subordinated debentures only with the proceeds of eligible equity offerings. During the existence of a mandatory deferral event, we may not pay dividends on our common stock or make payments of interest or principal on debt securities that rank equal or junior to the subordinated debentures. We currently have no debt securities outstanding that rank equal or junior to the junior subordinated debentures. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Junior Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities—Interest Rates."

          The junior subordinated debentures mature on March 23, 2046. Prior to March 23, 2011, the junior subordinated debentures are redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after March 23, 2011, we may redeem the junior subordinated debentures, at our option, at any time at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. We have agreed, however, for the benefit of certain holders of our senior indebtedness, that we will not redeem the junior subordinated debentures prior to maturity except with the proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying securities.

Debt Refinanced, Repaid or Assumed by GMAC in connection with the Sponsor Transactions

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, we obtained debt financing under a number of financial instruments with GMAC. GMAC provided credit support for a significant amount of our financial obligations. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006 we refinanced $7.1 billion of unsecured indebtedness and $603.7 million of secured indebtedness that we owed GMAC with borrowings under our senior credit facility, our bridge loan and with trust preferred securities issued to GMAC that are funded with our junior subordinated debentures. In addition, other than with respect to legacy guarantees of some of our outstanding obligations, the credit support provided by GMAC was terminated. Other than with respect to the legacy guarantees of some of our outstanding obligations and the contractual arrangements entered into by us, our Sponsor stockholder and GMAC in connection with the Sponsor Transactions as described below under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions," GMAC's only remaining financial involvement in our company consists of its ownership of approximately 21% of our outstanding common stock and all of the trust preferred securities of Capmark Trust that are funded with our junior subordinated debentures. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any remaining guarantees issued by GMAC prior to the Sponsor Transactions to be terminated and to reimburse and indemnify GMAC for any liabilities incurred with respect to those legacy guarantees. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Termination of Guarantees Provided by GMAC; Indemnification."

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Commitments

          In connection with our business activities, we enter into commitments that may give rise to future cash funding requirements. As of March 31, 2008, these commitments consisted of commitments to originate or purchase mortgage loans or securities, commitments to fund loans and commitments to provide equity to equity method investees. The future cash payments that were associated with these obligations as of March 31, 2008 are summarized in the table below. Because these commitments may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect our actual future cash funding requirements.

          As an approved multifamily seller/servicer under Fannie Mae's DUS™ program, we are responsible for assuming a portion of the losses that may result from a borrower's payment default on the loans that we have sold to Fannie Mae. Our loss sharing obligations are determined based on agreed loss sharing formulas. We generally are required to assume responsibility for the first 5% of the unpaid principal and a portion of any additional losses up to a maximum of 20% of the original principal balance. Any significant losses under this program would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Contractual Obligations

          In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments. As of March 31, 2008, our contractual obligations primarily consisted of long-term borrowings, deposit liabilities, derivatives instruments, tax obligations related to FIN 48

118



and operating leases. The future cash payments that were associated with these obligations as of March 31, 2008 are summarized in the table below.

Notes:

(1)
Includes the scheduled maturity of long-term borrowings and the scheduled maturity of time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of one year or more, including interest. Interest was calculated for fixed-rate obligations using the contractual fixed interest rate, and for floating-rate obligations, using the appropriate forward-yield curve. Excluded from this table are our short-term borrowings ($5.1 billion), time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of less than one year ($1.8 billion), and interest thereon.

(2)
Represents the contractual payments due on our derivative instruments but excludes the anticipated amounts that would be contractually received on such instruments, totaling $479.1 million in less than one year, $791.3 million in one to three years, $605.7 million in three to five years, and $459.5 million in more than five years, and aggregating to $2.3 billion in total.

(3)
Represents uncertain tax positions related to permanent and temporary tax differences, including interest and penalties. The years for which the differences related to the uncertain tax positions will be resolved have been estimated. As discussed in Note 15 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, pursuant to the legal agreements entered into in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, GMAC has agreed to indemnify our company for any and all taxes with respect to our company and our subsidiaries relating to pre-closing tax periods to the extent the aggregate of such taxes exceed a specified amount. Under these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify GMAC for any and all tax liabilities of our company and our subsidiaries related to pre-closing tax periods in an amount not to exceed the specified amount, which specified amount has been accrued in our consolidated financial statements.

(4)
Represents the future minimum rental payments under operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 2008. Also represents payments due to GMAC and our Sponsors and their affiliates under the management agreement which has no contractual term and, for purposes of this table, is presumed to be outstanding for a period of five years. For a description of the management agreement, see "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Agreement."

Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

Guarantees

          We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees in support of some of our securitization transactions and guarantees of payment of certain agency and construction loans that we originate. For more information on the carrying value of, and maximum liability under, our guarantees as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, see Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Securitizations

          We are involved in several types of off-balance sheet arrangements including securitization activities. The primary purposes of these transactions are to:

    allow us to take advantage of the pricing benefits and value creation associated with selling loans in a diversified pool;

    permit us to realize gains from our loan originations and reallocate capital to new lending opportunities;

    provide us with a source of master servicing rights that allow us to earn recurring servicing fees;

    create various classes of real estate related investment securities that may be offered to investors in the capital markets; and

    provide us with an additional source of liquidity.

          Securitization activities have been important to the success of our company. A termination or a decrease of our securitization activities would reduce the distribution channels for our lending operations and disrupt our mortgage banking and servicing activities, which in turn would adversely impact our operating profit. In light of the recent disruption in the securitization and capital markets, the volume and profitability of our securitizations has declined as compared with prior periods.

          As part of our securitization activities, we generally sell assets to bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries. These bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries are separate legal entities that assume the risks and rewards of owning the loan receivables. Securitizations are structured to provide a means of monetizing investments through the use of a bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Upon acquiring assets that are to be securitized, our bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries establish separate trusts to which they transfer the assets in exchange for the proceeds from the sale of asset- or mortgage-backed securities issued by the trust. The trusts' activities are generally limited to acquiring the assets, issuing asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities, making payments on the securities issued by them and furnishing periodic reports to investors. Due to the nature of the assets held by the trusts and the limited nature of each trust's activities, most trusts qualify as QSPEs under SFAS No. 140 and, accordingly, are not consolidated in our financial statements.

          As part of our securitization activities, we generally agree to service the transferred assets for a fee and may earn other related ongoing income. We may also retain an interest in the securitization trust as partial payment for the assets transferred to it or make an equity investment in a fund that purchases interests in one of our securitization trusts. A retained interest in a securitization trust may consist of senior or subordinated interests, may be investment grade, below investment grade or unrated and may include principal-only or interest-only securities. A subordinated interest, sometimes referred to as a "B-piece" or a "first loss position," typically entitles its holder to receive payments only after all investors holding more senior interests are paid in full. We record our

120



retained interests in unconsolidated securitization trusts as investment securities on our balance sheet. We also purchase derivative financial instruments in order to facilitate securitization activities, as further described in Note 18 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

          The following table presents the fair values of our retained interests from securitization transactions as of the dates indicated.

Purchase Obligations

          The instruments governing some of our securitization transactions and other off-balance sheet transactions contain customary provisions that require us to purchase specific assets from our securitization trusts. In connection with certain asset sales and securitization transactions, we typically make customary representations and warranties to the purchaser of our assets that relate to the characteristics of the assets transferred. These clauses are intended to ensure that the terms and conditions of the sales contracts are met upon transfer of the assets. Prior to any sale or securitization transaction, we perform due diligence with respect to the assets to be included in the sale to ensure that they meet the purchaser's requirements, as described in the representations and warranties. Due to these procedures, we believe that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability in our consolidated balance sheet relating to these potential obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make would be equal to the current balances of all assets subject to these

121



securitization or sale activities. We do not monitor the total value of assets historically transferred to securitization vehicles or through other asset sales and, as a result, we are unable to develop an estimate of the maximum payout under these representations and warranties. As of March 31, 2008, we had not been required to repurchase any assets under these provisions.

Recourse Agreements with Government Agencies

          We participate as a lender in the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) program. As a condition to Fannie Mae's delegation of responsibility for underwriting, originating and servicing of loans under the program, we assume a limited first-dollar loss position throughout the term of each loan we sell to Fannie Mae. As of March 31, 2008, we maintain a liability for such potential losses in the amount of $14.4 million. The maximum amount of loss we were exposed to under this program was $577.1 million as of March 31, 2008.

Interests in NMTC Funds

          We sponsor NMTC funds that make investments in qualifying CDEs that receive new markets tax credit allocations under a federal program that is designed to increase the availability of investment capital in low-income communities. We have determined that our NMTC funds are variable interest entities under FIN 46(R) and that we were the primary beneficiary of all but ten of the NMTC funds that we had sponsored as of March 31, 2008. The NMTC funds of which we were not the primary beneficiary had total assets of $222.4 million as of March 31, 2008. Our exposure to a loss relating to those NMTC funds was $147.8 million as of that date, representing the amount of financing we have provided to the funds. See Note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a further description of our interests in NMTC funds.

          In connection with our sponsorship of NMTC funds, we provide limited indemnification to fund investors for the loss or recapture of tax credits or benefits under certain circumstances. We also agree to forbear from exercising certain creditors' rights on loans we make to NMTC funds during the tax credit compliance period and to provide liquidity by purchasing loans provided by third-party lenders to such funds in the event such loans are repaid (upon acceleration or otherwise) prior to the end of the compliance period. Due to our compliance procedures, we believe that the events that could give rise to an obligation to provide tax credit indemnification are remote and we therefore do not carry a liability on our balance sheet for these contingent obligations at March 31, 2008. The loan purchase obligation is priced at the amount of the loan repayment and does not involve credit risk. As of March 31, 2008, $26.6 million of loans were subject to the loan purchase obligation. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been required to purchase any loans under this obligation.

Interests in Collateralized Debt Obligations

          We sponsor CDOs in which we may retain a subordinated or equity interest and for which we serve as the collateral manager. When we sponsor a CDO, we establish a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that purchases a portfolio of assets that may consist of commercial mortgage loans and other real estate related securities and issues debt and equity certificates, representing interests in the special purpose entity. Certain of the CDOs that we have sponsored were initially structured, or have been restructured, as QSPEs under SFAS No. 140 and, accordingly, are not consolidated in our financial statements.

          The CDOs that we have sponsored that have not been structured as QSPEs are variable interest entities under FIN 46(R). We have determined that we were not the primary beneficiary of any of these entities as of March 31, 2008 and, accordingly, have not consolidated them in our

122



financial statements. These CDOs had total assets of $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2008. Our exposure to a loss relating to those CDOs was $8.0 million as of that date, representing the value of our retained interests in those entities.

Risk Management

          Our business activities involve various elements of risk. We consider market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and operational risk to be the principal risks that we face in conducting our business. Our ability to properly and effectively manage these and other risks is critical to both our financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Management Approach

          We have developed a company-wide risk management framework and governance structure that is designed to identify, evaluate, monitor, report and control risks in accordance with defined policies and procedures. Our risk management approach focuses on establishing, on a company-wide basis, defined risk limits and tolerances, management oversight and accountability, regular communication, reporting and control systems and informed decision-making processes. Because of the complex and varied nature of our business, our risk management approach and the policies, procedures and control structures that we employ in our risk management activities are subject to ongoing review and modification.

          Our board of directors plays an active role in our risk management function and has established two committees, a Risk, Controls and Finance Committee and an Audit Committee, whose functions include advising our board with respect to matters relating to risk management. The Risk, Controls and Finance Committee's responsibilities include recommending policies and actions to our board of directors with respect to our capital structure, our funding and investment strategies, our specific risk management policies and our hedging activities. In carrying out these activities, the Risk, Controls and Finance Committee assists our board of directors in establishing credit approval limits and making determinations as to types of lending and investment activities that require specific board approval. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include assisting our board of directors in overseeing the internal accounting and financial control systems and reporting processes that we use to identify, evaluate, monitor, report and control risks and in monitoring our compliance with our ethics policies and legal and regulatory requirements.

          Accountability for risk management resides with our business units and is subject to the independent oversight of our Management Executive Committee and our Investment Committee, as well as our credit, market risk management, treasury, accounting, internal audit and law departments and various other management level committees and risk managers. Our Management Executive Committee is comprised of the most senior business leaders in our company, which includes our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our General Counsel, our Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Administration and the executives responsible for our primary business units. This committee defines our company's strategic objectives.

          Our Investment Committee is responsible for the review, oversight and approval of credit granting activities within our company. The committee is chaired by our Chief Credit Officer and consists of our Chairman of Credit Policy, our Chief Financial Officer, our General Counsel, the Executive Vice Presidents of Lending and Mortgage Banking, Investments and Funds Management and Asian Operations.

          Our credit department is comprised of professionals who report to our Chief Credit Officer and who are regionally located and functionally independent of the specific business segments whose investing activity they oversee. These include Credit Officers located in Tokyo, Japan who are dedicated to our Asian Operations segment and Credit Officers located in Dublin, Ireland who are

123



dedicated to our European Operations segment. Our Credit Officers are supported by a surveillance team that consists of our Chief Surveillance Officer and analysts, who specialize in risk measurement and portfolio analytics. In March 2007, we created the position of Chairman of Credit Policy, which position reports to our Chief Executive Officer. The Chairman of Credit Policy consults with the Chief Executive Officer on issues with respect to credit risk and provides guidance and leadership to the Chief Credit Officer and his team.

          Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for oversight of asset and liability risk management, including currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The committee oversees hedging, asset/liability matching and funding activities for our company generally. The committee is chaired by our Chief Financial Officer, and includes our Enterprise Controller, Treasurer, Chief Credit Officer, General Counsel and head of our market risk management department.

          Our global market risk management activities are centrally managed by our market risk management department, which consists of seven professionals who report to our Chief Market Risk Manager. Our market risk management department works in partnership with our business segments to identify market risks throughout our company and to develop risk mitigation strategies consistent with our overall business strategy. The department is responsible for the identification, quantification and mitigation of interest rate, credit spread and foreign currency risks associated with our global business activity. The department's staff is located in Horsham, Pennsylvania and in Tokyo, Japan. Our market risk managers are supported by persons in the pricing and analytics group who are responsible for pricing our assets and their corresponding hedges. The department is also responsible for preparation of our value-at-risk profile as well as net interest income sensitivity reporting, which are described below.

          The executives that oversee our credit, market risk management, treasury, accounting and internal audit departments report to our Chief Financial Officer and are independent of the business units that they oversee. Our General Counsel reports to our Chief Executive Officer.

Credit Risk Management

          Credit risk represents the risk that a financial loss will result from the failure of a borrower, obligor or counterparty to perform its obligations. We have developed and implemented formal, systematic credit risk management policies and processes for our lending activities that are designed to preserve the independence and integrity of credit-related decisions and to ensure that credit risks are accurately assessed, properly approved, monitored and actively managed at both the transaction and portfolio levels. These policies and processes employ specific limits on credit approval authorities, the use of a programmatic risk-rating methodology, certain concentration limitations and independent credit risk monitoring and asset management procedures. In order to meet our credit risk management objectives, we seek to maintain a risk profile that is diverse in terms of property type, geographical location and single asset exposure. We manage this diversification through the use of asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations and other risk reduction techniques.

Credit Approval Authority

          Our board of directors has established initial allocations and delegations of lending and investment authority based on allocations of economic capital. The approval of our board of directors or our Risk, Controls and Finance Committee is required for any transactions in which the amount of credit extended exceeds $150 million or consumes more than $25 million of our economic capital. Our board has also established allocations of economic capital by product and program, and these allocations are further sub-divided by country. Transactions in which the

124



amount of credit to be extended does not exceed these thresholds are subject to loan and investment policies that are established by our Investment Committee. These policies provide for increasing levels of scrutiny and oversight by our lending, investment and credit personnel based on the size and risks associated with a particular transaction. The largest and highest risk transactions that do not require the approval of our board of directors or our Risk, Controls and Finance Committee are subject to review and approval by the Investment Committee.

Note:

(1)
As of March 31, 2008, mixed-use and other consisted of loans secured by properties with more than one commercial real estate property type, loans secured by pools of mixed property types, plus loans secured by various other property types including, but not limited to, undeveloped land ($504.0 million), golf courses ($293.6 million), condominiums ($190.2 million), and industrial properties ($250.6 million).

          The above table sets forth our exposure to these property types in our loan portfolio. We maintain additional direct and indirect exposure to these property types through our interests in funds, securities, equity investments and other non-loan exposures.

          Our loan portfolio is distributed across the major classes of real estate commercial properties shown above. These property type concentrations are diversified by geographic location. The largest multifamily concentration resides within Southern California, which represented 3.6% of our total multifamily loan exposure as of March 31, 2008. The average size of our multifamily loans is relatively small when compared to loans used to finance other asset classes. For example, as of March 31, 2008, our multifamily loan portfolio consisted of approximately 558 loans with an average outstanding principal balance of approximately $5.5 million that were used to finance properties in more than 88 different metropolitan statistical areas.

The table sets forth our exposure to these locations in the loan portfolio. We maintain additional direct and indirect exposure to these locations through loans secured by pools of assets spanning multiple locations, and our interests in funds, securities, equity investments and other non-loan exposures.

          Our loan portfolio consists of loans used to finance properties in more than 130 markets, including all of the major metropolitan areas in the United States and major markets in the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. Our Southern California concentration (primarily concentrated in the Los Angeles/Riverside/Orange County metropolitan statistical area) currently represents our largest geographic concentration at 8.0% of our geographical exposure as of March 31, 2008. This concentration is spread across 135 loans and eight property types, with no one property type within any market comprising more than 3.6% of our total exposure. We believe that our lending in Southern California is consistent with the size of the region's economy and represents an appropriate allocation of our capital. This exposure, however, is subject to the risk that the performance of these loans could be harmed by an economic slowdown or the occurrence of a catastrophe in the region.

Single Risk Exposures in Our Loan Portfolio

          We seek to minimize the size of our exposure to losses on a single loan by using credit approval limits and by developing loan distribution strategies before we commit to provide financing. As of March 31, 2008, we had 54 loan commitments that exceeded $50.0 million. Our aggregate commitments with respect to these 54 loans amounted to $5.2 billion, of which $4.3 billion had been funded as of March 31, 2008. Two of these loans are non-performing assets and are maintained on non-accrual status. The gross commitment and funded amount related to these non-performing loans totaled $116.8 million as of March 31, 2008. The remaining 52 loans are performing loans.

Credit Risk Monitoring, Asset Management and Originated Non-Performing Assets

          We actively monitor and evaluate our loan portfolio with the objective of identifying under-performing and non-performing loans, expediting collection of past due amounts and maintaining appropriate levels of reserves. To facilitate this process, we employ a risk-rating process for measuring credit exposure that combines quantitative analysis and qualitative judgment in order to measure potential loan losses. We initially allocate a quantitative risk rating to a loan based on modeling or other objective fact-based credit criteria that consider key financial data, such as a loan's debt service coverage ratio, loan-to-value ratio and time to maturity, and collateral

126



characteristics, such as a property's location, type and occupancy. We adjust the initial quantitative rating that we assign to a loan based on an assessment of qualitative factors, such as quality of sponsorship, financial reporting, quality and stability of cash flow, loan structure, loan documentation and the loan's performance relative to underwriting.

          Our credit officers independently verify the initial risk ratings for each loan at the time of origination based on established risk rating criteria. Each loan is independently reviewed and re-rated quarterly based on the underlying property's current financial performance, market conditions and trends and collateral value. When credit issues arise with respect to a loan, we subject the loan to additional scrutiny by members of our credit and accounting departments, our special servicing personnel (who conduct asset management activities with respect to non-performing loans) and the lending platform that originated the loan. The responsibilities of our special servicing and asset management functions include the ongoing communication with the borrower and property managers, with a heightened focus on repayment strategies and collateral.

          Our non-performing assets include all loans on non-accrual status and foreclosed real estate collateral. We transfer loans to non-accrual status when (1) management determines that the borrower is incapable of or has ceased efforts toward curing the cause of an impairment, (2) the loan becomes greater than 60 days delinquent for payments of principal or interest or (3) we believe that the net realizable value of the assets collateralizing the loan is equivalent to or is less than the then-current carrying value for the loan. Our classification of a loan as a non-performing asset does not necessarily indicate that the principal amount of the loan will ultimately be uncollectible in whole or in part. In certain cases, borrowers may pay all past due amounts on non-performing loans or we may be able to restructure the loans or enter into workouts that result in payments being made.

Acquired Non-Performing Loans

          We have acquired non-performing loans for investment purposes at substantial discounts to par. At the time of acquisition, these non-performing loans evidenced credit quality deterioration and the probability that not all contractually required payments were collectible. The carrying amount of these loans totaled $360.8 million and $358.4 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. We recognize an estimate of the accretable yield on these loans. The accretable yield is limited to the excess of the estimated undiscounted principal, interest and other expected cash flows over the acquisition price of the loans.

127


          We seek to maximize recovery on our acquired non-performing loans. However, the timing and amount of our expected cash flows from such loans are based upon a number of assumptions that are subject to business and economic uncertainties, including the amount and timing of principal payments, collateral disposition activity and other factors. We record an impairment loss if we determine there is a decrease in the expected cash flows for such acquired non-performing loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded impairment losses of $4.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

          We maintain an allowance for loan losses in order to provide for the risks of loan losses relating to mortgage loans that we hold for investment. Our allowance for loan losses is used to cover estimated losses on loans that we have specifically identified as being impaired and a general "portfolio reserve" for incurred, but not specifically identified, losses based on periodic reviews and analyses of our loan portfolio. We increase our allowance for loan losses as necessary by making a charge to our provision for loan losses. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. We credit our allowance for loan losses when we recover previously written down amounts on an impaired loan that is held for investment.

          The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for loan losses relating to our mortgage loan portfolio held for investment for the periods indicated.

Portfolio of Investment Securities

          Our portfolio of investment securities consists primarily of CMBS, ABS and CDOs; tax-exempt securities; TMK securities; securities backed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and other investment securities. We acquire these securities from time to time in connection with our lending, securitization and capital markets activities and for short-term trading purposes. We classify these investment securities on our consolidated balance sheet as held for sale, trading or held for maturity. For a description of the policies that we apply when valuing our investment securities, see "—Critical Accounting Estimates."

          The allocation of collateral between different types of asset classes has remained relatively consistent from period to period, with multifamily properties generally comprising between 30% and 50% of the collateral underlying our securities. The predominance of multifamily properties in the pools of collateral underlying our investment securities has been due, in part, to the fact that a significant percentage of our investment securities have been generated through the securitization and tax-exempt financing activities carried out by our North American Affordable Housing segment. Given the diversified nature of the pool of loans underlying securitization transactions and the fact that many of the tax-exempt bonds that we acquired in connection with our affordable housing operations are credit enhanced by GSEs or federal agencies, we do not believe that this concentration has materially impacted our credit exposure. As a result of the sale of the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt platform and most of the related bond portfolio in early 2007, tax-exempt bonds comprise and will continue to comprise a smaller portion of our investment portfolio than in recent periods.

Market Risk Management

          Market risk represents the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, rates, indices, implied volatilities, correlations or other market factors will result in a financial loss. The primary market risks that we face are interest rate risk, credit spread risk and foreign currency risk. These risks include the risks that changes in prevailing interest rates, credit spreads or foreign currency exchange rates will impact the fair value of our assets and liabilities, decrease our levels of revenue or increase our expenses. We seek to control these risks by selling United States Treasury securities and entering into a number of derivative instruments, including total rate of return swaps, CMBS index swaps, interest rate or foreign exchange swaps, interest rate caps and floors, and options to purchase the foregoing instruments. We seek to further control our exposure to

129



fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by securing multi-currency funding sources that we may use when funding foreign currency denominated assets.

          We have implemented centralized risk management policies and processes that are intended to ensure that our market risk exposure is accurately measured, regularly monitored and appropriately managed on a company-wide basis and within individual market positions. Our market risk limits are established by our market risk management department. These limits are approved by our Asset/Liability Management Committee. Our market risk exposure is measured using a variety of quantitative and qualitative risk measures and analyses, performed either daily or monthly, including value-at-risk measurements and sensitivity analyses. Price sensitivity metrics, portfolio valuations and correlation analyses are performed on a daily basis, while stress testing is performed on a monthly basis using the value-at-risk methodology explained below. Value-at-risk measures the impact on the value of existing portfolios of specified changes in market factors for all of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. We also conduct a net interest income analysis, which estimates our net interest income sensitivity to immediate increases or decreases in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points.

Interest Rate and CMBS Spread Risk

          The predominant type of interest rate risk that we face is the risk that the value of our assets and liabilities (including the value of our loans, debt obligations and investment portfolios) will change due to changes in interest rates, shape of the yield curve or interest rate spreads between two different financial instruments. We are also exposed to the risk that changes in interest rates will impact the levels of revenue that are generated by our lending, servicing and investments and funds management businesses, including trust fees that we earn on escrow balances, or give rise to mismatches between the values of our assets and the liabilities that we incur when funding those assets. Because we have floating rate debt outstanding, changes in interest rates may impact our debt servicing costs, which may lead to changes in the levels of net income and cash flows that we report from time to time.

          As part of our effort to manage interest rate exposure in our lending business, we also enter into forward rate lock commitments that guarantee the interest rates that will be charged on the loans that we originate from time to time. During the guaranteed rate period, a forward rate lock commitment exposes us to the possibility that the value of the forward rate lock commitment and related loan will decrease due to a rise in interest rates. To protect against this risk, we generally

130



enter into a hedging transaction when we enter into a forward rate lock commitment and require the borrower to reimburse any costs to us of unwinding the related hedge in the event that the related loan fails to close. While this risk management strategy helps protect us against risks associated with movements in interest rates, it exposes us to the risk that a borrower will be unable to reimburse us for our costs if we are required to unwind the related hedge. To limit our exposure to this risk, when entering into a hedging transaction for a forward rate lock commitment, we require a borrower to collateralize its obligations to us with cash collateral maintained in a margin account. We monitor our exposure under forward rate commitments and related hedging transactions on a daily basis. If our collateralized coverage falls below a specified level, we require a borrower to post additional cash collateral.

          A portion of our fixed rate loans are originated with an exit strategy through a CMBS securitization. With respect to these loans, we are exposed to the risk that CMBS spreads will widen between the time that we commit to extend a loan at a specified rate and the time the loan is securitized. If not hedged, a widening of CMBS spreads would result in our company receiving lower proceeds upon the sale of a loan. We actively monitor our exposure to changes in CMBS spreads and, when appropriate, we may enter into CMBS total return swaps to moderate our exposure against losses associated with a widening of CMBS spreads, although such swaps may not result in a reduction of losses in certain instances. However, by entering into the swaps, we reduce the potential to benefit from gains associated with the narrowing of CMBS spreads. The use of CMBS total return swaps to manage our exposure to CMBS spread risks also exposes us to risks that our swap counterparties will default on their obligations to us.

Foreign Currency Risk

          We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates because we generate a portion of our revenue and incur a portion of our expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We are also exposed to risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates because we have various assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies, including borrowings under our senior credit facility and other borrowing facilities, and because we have subsidiaries and investments in other entities with retained earnings that are denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2008, our foreign currency exposure consisted primarily of exposure to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Euro and the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen.

          To manage foreign currency exposure in our business, we seek to finance assets that are denominated in foreign currencies with funding sources denominated in the same currency. When assets denominated in foreign currencies are not funded with liabilities denominated in the same currencies, we actively use foreign exchange swaps and forward transactions that are designed to mitigate the risks associated with adverse movements in the applicable foreign currency exchange rates. We similarly use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our foreign currency exposure related to income streams and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies when the amount and timing of the income streams and expenses are known. To manage the effect that fluctuations in exchange rates may have on the value of foreign currency denominated retained earnings in our subsidiaries and the entities in which we have made investments, we have developed an active hedging policy that manages and adjusts our exposure using one-month foreign exchange swaps and forward contracts.

Derivative Counterparty Exposure

          The use of derivative instruments to manage and mitigate our exposure to market risks exposes us to the risk that a counterparty to a derivative transaction will fail to perform its obligations under the derivative instrument. Because obligations under our derivative instruments are determined by reference to interest rates, CMBS spreads and foreign currency exchange rates,

131



our exposure to a risk of loss from defaults by counterparties to our derivative transactions is impacted by movements in interest rates, CMBS spreads and foreign currency exchange rates. To manage our credit exposures to counterparties to our derivative transactions, before we enter into a derivative transaction, we negotiate and execute industry standard agreements that govern the maximum credit exposure that we will assume with respect to a counterparty in a derivative transaction. We measure our credit exposure to counterparties under our derivative instruments on a daily basis. If an exposure with respect to a counterparty exceeds an agreed threshold, we make a margin call under which the counterparty is required to post collateral in order to bring our credit exposure to it within the agreed-upon range.

Value-at-Risk Analysis

          We use a statistical methodology known as value-at-risk, which we refer to as "VaR," as one of our tools for measuring, monitoring and reviewing our market risk exposure. VaR measures the dollar amount of potential losses in fair value from adverse movements in interest rates and credit spreads in an ordinary market. Our VaR model uses a distribution of historical changes in key market indices or other market factors to assess the potential for future losses. Our VaR model also takes into account correlations between risks and the potential for movements in one portfolio to offset movements in another. We measure VaR using a 95% confidence interval and an assumed one-month holding period, meaning that we would expect to incur changes in fair value greater than those predicted by our VaR model in only one out of every 20 months. We believe that our VaR analysis captures all of our significant market risk exposures resulting from our interest rate and credit spread sensitive positions. The following table represents the maximum, average and minimum potential VaR losses measured for the periods indicated. This analysis has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent our current views as to future movements in interest rates and credit spreads. The table shows a greater variation in our potential VaR losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively as a result of adverse market conditions experienced during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008. In addition, the unwinding of a mortgage escrow balance hedging strategy further increased this disparity.

Minimum     45.8     12.0     12.0     13.6     29.2

          A VaR analysis permits an estimation of a portfolio's aggregate market risk exposure based on a range of varied market risks, reflects risk reduction due to portfolio diversification or hedging activities and is capable of covering a wide range of portfolio assets. However, VaR measures should be interpreted carefully in light of the methodology's limitations, which include the following:

    past changes in market risk factors may not always yield accurate predictions of the distributions and correlations of future market movements;

    changes in portfolio value in response to market movements may differ from the responses calculated by a VaR model;

    the historical market risk factor data used for VaR estimation may provide only limited insight into losses that could be incurred under market conditions that are unusual relative to the historical period used in estimating the VaR; and

132


    published VaR results reflect past trading positions while future risk depends on future positions.

          We are aware of the foregoing limitations on the use of VaR models for measuring and monitoring risks and, accordingly, employ VaR analysis as only one tool for identifying, measuring, monitoring and reporting our exposure to market risks.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity Analysis

          While VaR measures the risk of loss due to unlikely events in an ordinary market, a sensitivity analysis measures exposure to an isolated hypothetical movement in one or more specific market prices, rates or indices. To measure our exposure to volatility in net interest income, we perform a sensitivity analysis on a monthly basis that considers isolated hypothetical movements in specific market rates for each currency in which we transact business. The first table reflects our sensitivity to sudden shifts in short-term rates in all currencies in which we transact business, taking into consideration our asset and liability positions on our consolidated balance sheet and the derivative instruments that we use to mitigate market risk as of March 31, 2008. The second table reflects our sensitivity to similar movements in U.S. interest rates on the trust fee income earned on escrow balances as of March 31, 2008. Both tables measure the impact on net interest income over the next 12 months. These analyses have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not represent our current views as to future interest rate movements.

          Although we believe that the above sensitivity data measurements provide an estimate of interest rate sensitivity, there are limitations inherent in those measurements. For example, they do not take into account potential changes in credit quality, size or composition of our asset portfolios,

133


potential changes in our funding mix or other possible business developments. They are also limited in that they are performed at a particular point in time and only contemplate certain movements in market rates or indices. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that our actual results would not differ materially from the estimated outcomes of the above simulations. We are aware of the foregoing limitations on the use of sensitivity analyses for measuring and monitoring risks and, accordingly, employ our sensitivity analysis as only one tool for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting our exposure market risks.

Operational Risk

          Operational risk refers to the risk of direct losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, facilities or from external events such as governance risk, business continuity issues, legal or regulatory compliance issues, fraud or sabotage (internal or external), data entry or bookkeeping errors, information technology system failure, vendor failures or mismanagement, and human resources concerns. We are exposed to operational risk across all of our business activities, including our income generating activities and our administrative and support functions.

          Primary responsibility for the management of operational risk lies with our business segments and support functions, which are required to maintain controls designed to identify, assess and mitigate operational risks for their existing activities. These controls include systems and processes that relate to theft and fraud, our general business practices, our technology, the safeguarding of assets and data security, our personnel, our customers, our financial reporting and our external service providers. In addition, we have developed and continue to enhance specific policies and procedures that are designed to ensure that transactions are properly approved, processed, recorded, reported, monitored/updated and reconciled on a timely basis and that we have adequate business continuity and disaster recovery plans for critical facilities and resources. The operational risk management activities of our business segments are overseen by our Senior Vice President, Internal Audit with the assistance of our human resources, law, information technology, treasury, accounting and risk management departments.

          We seek to limit our exposure to legal risks through the use of company-wide procedures and requirements that are designed to foster compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory regimes. These procedures address matters relating to regulatory capital requirements, sales and trading practices, new products, potential conflicts of interest, structured transactions, the use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, the extension of credit, debt collection activities, money-laundering, privacy, recordkeeping and reporting. The increased legal and regulatory focus that has been applied to the financial services sector in recent periods has increased the importance of our legal and regulatory compliance procedures for our operational risk management activities.

Internal Control Weaknesses and Management's Remediation Plan for Identified Internal Control Deficiencies

          Although at the date of this prospectus we are not yet required to report on our internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, both we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses as well as significant deficiencies with respect to our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. We have taken, and continue to take, actions to remediate these deficiencies. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we remediated certain material weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2006.

134


          As part of our efforts to address the identified weaknesses and deficiencies, emphasis has been placed upon recruiting for key financial positions. In May 2007, we hired an Enterprise Controller who is responsible for overseeing the global operations for corporate accounting and finance and information technology and implementing critical finance initiatives. Among the immediate priorities of our company and the Enterprise Controller are improving financial processes, information flows and internal controls. In 2007, we also hired a Director of Corporate Tax to lead our global tax operations and a Director of Accounting Policy to lead our enterprise for accounting policy initiatives. In addition, we hired other accounting and finance personnel in 2007 and 2008. Additional initiatives are being developed to improve accounting policies designed to ensure company-wide compliance with interpretation of accounting rules.

          We intend to hire additional accounting and tax resources as needed. We have also taken specific actions and continue to develop plans to address previously identified internal control deficiencies.

          We expect that we will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. We are committed to completing the above actions and initiatives and implementing other policies and procedures as we may determine are necessary to ensure that effective internal controls over financial reporting exist.

Economic Capital

          We define "economic capital" as the amount of equity capital that we believe is required by our business units to absorb unexpected losses that may arise from credit, market and operational risks and to protect our company from insolvency. We use internal risk-assessment methodologies in making determinations relating to our economic capital and calculate and allocate the amount of economic capital that is required for each category of risk. We consider these amounts in determining the amount of economic capital that is required for a particular business unit or our company as a whole. Economic capital is used as an internal benchmark that we compare to our adjusted equity (a non-GAAP financial measure).

          We calculated our economic capital requirements to be $2.3 billion, $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Both our adjusted equity and our stockholders' equity exceeded these requirements as of each reporting date. A reconciliation of our stockholders' equity to our adjusted equity is presented below.

In calculating adjusted equity, we adjust GAAP total stockholders' equity to reflect the inclusion of the trust preferred securities issued by Capmark Trust and the mezzanine equity we issued to our employees and directors, which are commonly considered by investors and rating agencies to be components of equity. This financial measure may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies, including other finance companies, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or an alternative to, total stockholders' equity.

          When we make economic capital determinations with respect to our loans, consideration is given to the risk rating and remaining term of the underlying asset. Our risk rating methodology uses quantitative modeling techniques to support our calculations of expected losses, reserves and economic capital. Critical components of this methodology include our ability to:

    develop a quantitative model that estimates, where applicable, a loss distribution, which is used to calculate expected losses and economic capital;

    integrate the quantitative results of our model with additional qualitative criteria, such as loan structures, strength of a sponsor and the quality and stability of cash flows, which aspects are not directly quantifiable; and

    segment the qualitatively-adjusted model results into risk ratings at an appropriate level of granularity.

          When we make economic capital determinations with respect to our equity investments, our economic capital methodology uses a simulation model that builds on data collected by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries to simulate potential losses to the gross amount of the investment and our net equity in the investment. Economic capital risk measurements are assessed and developed for all risk exposures.

BUSINESS

Our Company

          We are a leading commercial real estate finance company that operates in North America, Asia and Europe in three core business lines: commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking; investments and funds management; and servicing. As commercial real estate finance specialists, we provide our borrowers, investors and other customers with a broad range of commercial real estate financial products and services, which we strive to tailor to our customers' particular needs. As of March 31, 2008, we had more than 2,000 employees located in 55 offices worldwide.

          We originated $2.7 billion and $29.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of financing during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. Our global primary, master and special servicing portfolio included more than 54,000 loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $380.2 billion as of March 31, 2008 compared to $371.7 billion as of December 31, 2007. Real estate related assets under management were approximately $10.2 billion as of March 31, 2008 compared to $10.3 billion as of December 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, our total assets were $23.6 billion and our stockholders' equity was $2.3 billion.

Our Competitive Strengths and Our Strategy

          We believe that we possess a number of strengths that differentiate us from other commercial real estate finance companies and provide us with significant competitive advantages. We intend to profitably grow our business and to strengthen our position as a leading commercial real estate finance company by capitalizing on these strengths and implementing the various strategies that we have adopted in furtherance of these objectives. See "Summary—Our Competitive Strengths" and "Summary—Our Strategy."

History and Development of Our Company

          We began operating in the commercial real estate market in 1994 in connection with the separation of GMAC's residential and commercial real estate finance operations and, until the Sponsor Transactions, operated under the name "GMAC Commercial Holding Corp." In 1995, our first full year of operating separately from GMAC's residential real estate business, we originated approximately $2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of loans and serviced a $15.0 billion loan portfolio. Through a series of acquisitions and internal growth and product development initiatives, we have significantly grown each of our core lines of business since the commencement of our operations.

          As our experience and capabilities in the commercial real estate finance sector have grown, we have sought to take advantage of business opportunities outside the United States. In 1997, we expanded our operations to include the Japanese market, and in 1999 we expanded our capital markets and servicing activities to include the Canadian market. In 2001, we entered the European real estate finance market through our establishment of Capmark Bank Europe. Our expansion in Europe and elsewhere overseas has also permitted us to take advantage of the lower costs associated with offshore servicing platforms in connection with our servicing operations.

          In 1999, we sought to leverage our ability to distribute real estate related investments and acquired a boutique real estate investment banking operation that included a registered broker-dealer specializing in the tax-exempt bond market. Our experience with investment banking operations provided us with an opportunity to further expand our investment and distribution capabilities through the acquisition of a sponsor of LIHTC funds in 2001, through which we have

137



originated and syndicated LIHTC funds. This experience provided us with a foundation for sponsoring NMTC funds.

          In 2000, we formed Capmark Investments LP, an SEC-registered investment adviser, to provide real estate investment advisory services. Through our expansion into the real estate investment advisory business, we have been able to attract clients interested in investing their capital in a wide range of commercial real estate debt and equity investments, which has led to our development of a fund-based investment platform. We have since significantly increased the amount of third-party capital that we manage by sponsoring commingled investment funds and CDOs, and our assets under management were approximately $10.3 billion as of December 31, 2007.

          On March 23, 2006, as part of the Sponsor Transactions, an entity formed by our Sponsor stockholder acquired a controlling stake in our company from GMAC. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, certain of our employees purchased shares of our common stock for cash and we granted most of those employees time-based and performance-based stock options. We also obtained $10.75 billion of senior unsecured debt financing which was assigned investment grade ratings by Moody's, S&P and Fitch, refinanced all indebtedness that we owed to GMAC and changed our name to Capmark Financial Group Inc. As a result of the Sponsor Transactions and subsequent issuances of our common stock, our Sponsor stockholder now holds approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock, our employees and directors now own approximately 5% of our outstanding common stock and GMAC now owns approximately 21% of our outstanding common stock, and we now conduct our business under the "Capmark" brand name. Other than with respect to legacy guarantees of some of our outstanding obligations and the contractual arrangements entered into by us, our Sponsors and GMAC, in connection with the Sponsor Transactions as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions," GMAC's remaining financial involvement in our company consists of its ownership of approximately 21% of our outstanding common stock and all of the trust preferred securities that are funded with our junior subordinated debentures.

          Beginning in late 2006, in connection with our efforts to focus our resources on those businesses and markets that offer opportunities for growth and attractive risk adjusted returns on equity, we have exited and deemphasized certain of our businesses and products that do not meet our performance thresholds or that are not important to our strategy. In February 2007, we sold the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt financing operations for cash proceeds of approximately $500 million and the assumption by the buyers of approximately $700 million of secured indebtedness. In March 2007, we discontinued our "tender option bond program," a securitization program utilizing fixed rate tax-exempt municipal bonds, and liquidated the tax-exempt bond portfolio underlying the program. As described elsewhere in this prospectus, we also completed a number of additional transactions pursuant to which we transferred LIHTC partnership interests and related management obligations relating to several of our non-guaranteed LIHTC funds and disposed of other non-core businesses. As of year-end 2007, we ceased originating loans in Canada to focus our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking business on opportunities in the U.S. markets.

Our Three Core Business Lines

Lending and Mortgage Banking

          We provide financing for commercial properties through our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking, Asian Operations and European Operations segments. We previously provided financing through our North American Affordable Housing segment until February 2007, when we sold the majority of the assets of that business. We also plan to significantly reduce our proprietary Asian and European lending activities in 2008. These segments operate lending platforms that

138



provide a broad range of financial products that may be used by real estate owners and developers to finance most types of commercial property, including properties in both traditional asset classes and specialized asset classes. Our financial products, which include permanent loans, interim and bridge loans, mezzanine loans, secured and unsecured lines of credit, construction loans and tax credit syndications, may be tailored and combined with other products and services that we offer to meet a borrower's specific financing needs.

          We source new lending opportunities through our commercial mortgage banking network in the United States and through our existing relationships with property owners and developers and other third parties located across the United States.

          We have established significant distribution channels for the loans and other financial products that we originate or acquire in connection with our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking activities. Our distribution strategies include using asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations, to transfer some or all of the interests in our loans and other financial products to third parties, including banks, GSEs, insurance companies, investment funds, opportunity funds, third-party conduits and other investors.

          We believe that the asset sale capabilities that we have developed, and the opportunities that those capabilities provide for financing loans and other financial products, provide us with an important tool for managing our balance sheet.

Investments and Funds Management

          Our North American Investments and Funds Management segment focuses upon the sponsorship and management of real estate debt and equity funds, as well as the management of our own real estate debt and equity investments. We conduct our investments and funds management business through our North American Investments and Funds Management, Asian Operations and European Operations segments. The investments that we make consist of a broad range of debt and real estate equity investments, including mortgage loans and securities, mezzanine loans, CMBS, RMBS, REIT securities and synthetic securities. The investment structures that we use for these investments include commingled investment funds and CDOs; direct investments that we make with our own capital; and joint ventures and similar arrangements with other investors in Europe and Asia.

          Our investments and funds management business provides us with a recurring source of management fees that are based, in part, on the amount of assets under management or in the case of certain funds that we manage, on the amount of capital commitments from fund investors during the commitment period. In addition, we have the opportunity to earn incentive fees that are calculated based on investment returns and earned when certain thresholds are achieved. These activities also provide us with an additional channel for distributing the loans and other financial products that we originate in connection with our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking business. In addition, these investment activities provide us with a means of directly investing in real estate debt and equity investments and create opportunities for our company to realize gains from investments that we make for our own account.

          We believe that our investments and funds management business benefits from the significant number of investment opportunities that are generated by our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking activities, including the large number of investment opportunities that are sourced by our North American commercial mortgage banking network and the relationships that our lending platforms have with property owners and developers and other third parties throughout North America, Asia and Europe. In addition, the size of our warehousing capabilities allows us to acquire and hold real estate related assets that may be sold to a commingled fund or a CDO upon the closing of the fund or the CDO. We believe that this capability allows third parties who invest

139



their capital with us to deploy their capital more quickly than would be possible with a sponsor or investment manager that does not have similar warehousing capabilities.

Servicing

          Our servicing activities involve acting as a master and special servicer of pools of loans that we securitize or that are securitized by third parties. We also act as a primary servicer of commercial real estate loans that we originate as a proprietary or correspondent lender and commercial real estate loans that are originated by third parties who seek to outsource the servicing of loans that they originate. When we retain or acquire a subordinated residual interest in a securitization transaction, we also act as the special servicer for the securitized pool of loans. We conduct our servicing activities across North America, Asia and Europe through our North American Servicing, Asian Operations and European Operations segments.

          We conduct our primary and master servicing business through three central processing centers that are located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, Hyderabad, India and Mullingar, Ireland and regional client relations offices that are located in important markets in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan and the Philippines. Our special servicing activities are carried out in offices that are located in North America, Europe and Asia. Our servicing locations are staffed with dedicated teams of professionals who have significant experience in loan servicing and asset administration and are connected to integrated information technology systems that are designed to enhance the efficiency of our servicing operations. We believe that our international servicing platform, which enables us to provide servicing customers and borrowers with full business day coverage in each time zone in which we operate, differentiates us from our competitors, while allowing us to take advantage of the cost savings and other efficiencies associated with employing highly skilled, lower-cost workers in offshore locations.

          Our servicing activities provide us with recurring primary and master servicing fees that are paid throughout the term of a securitization transaction or loan as well as special servicing and asset administration fees (generally associated with defaulted loans). Our North American servicing activities also generate interest income and trust fees and other forms of economic value that we earn or realize on the escrow balances that borrowers maintain for loans that we service.

          Given the benefits associated with our servicing activities, we have developed three distinct channels for obtaining new servicing rights. These channels, which also provide us with opportunities to expand other parts of our business, consist of:

    Origination of Servicing Rights.    We generally retain the right to act as the primary servicer of loans that we originate (even after those loans are distributed) and the master servicer of pools of loans that we securitize. Our loan origination and securitization activities provide us with a significant source of new servicing business and over time have led to a substantial increase in the size of our servicing portfolio.

    Acquisition of Servicing Rights.    We look for opportunities to acquire servicing rights that are for sale in the open market. Our acquisition strategy involves positioning our business in a manner that permits us to absorb new servicing portfolios from third parties and integrate our servicing operations with the operations of new customers with minimal additional overhead cost.

    Provision of Services on a Contracted Basis.    In addition to originating and acquiring loan servicing rights, we service loans on a contracted basis for customers under the customer's brand name. Generally, these customers consist of insurance companies, banks and financial institutions who seek to take advantage of our experience and the economies of scale that we offer, while continuing to be associated with the servicing of their loans.

140


Our Six Business Segments

          For management reporting purposes, we conduct our three core lines of business through six business segments. These business segments, which are organized based on geography and the type of business conducted, consist of: North American Lending and Mortgage Banking; North American Investments and Funds Management; North American Servicing; Asian Operations; European Operations and North American Affordable Housing.

North American Lending and Mortgage Banking

          Our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment operates primarily through our subsidiaries Capmark Finance Inc. and Capmark Bank and provides borrowers with a broad range of financial products that may be used to finance most types of commercial properties in the United States. We source new lending opportunities through our commercial mortgage banking network in North America and through our existing relationships with property owners and developers and other third parties in the United States. We ceased originating loans in Canada as of year-end 2007. Historically, we have reduced the principal risk associated with our North American proprietary lending activities by monetizing a significant portion of the financing that we originate in the United States through direct sales to GSEs and through asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations, that are carried out by our capital markets team.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment for the periods indicated. You should read this summary financial information in conjunction with the information included in this prospectus under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Segment Results."

Mortgage Banking Network

          Our North American commercial mortgage banking network is one of the largest commercial mortgage banking networks in North America, with offices located in key markets throughout the United States. Our mortgage bankers have access to many different sources for financing real estate transactions, including our lending platforms, GSEs, federal agencies and other third-party capital sources, such as insurance companies, and third-party conduit lenders. Our North American commercial mortgage banking network arranged $2.6 billion and $25.6 billion of new financing in the United States and Canada during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

          Our mortgage bankers advise our borrower clients on the different commercial real estate financial products available through our company and third-party capital sources and assist our borrowers in selecting the financial products that best meet their particular needs and financial circumstances. Our mortgage bankers collect and analyze financial and property performance information to pre-screen borrower qualifications for suitable financial products, assist borrowers in submitting all information required to complete loan applications and generally serve as a liaison between borrowers and lenders throughout the lending process. In exchange for providing these services, we earn placement fees that typically are based on a percentage of the principal amount of the financing that is arranged. These fees generally are paid by the borrower at closing. We

141



earned $13.4 million and $94.3 million in fees from our commercial mortgage banking network during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

Lending Platforms

          Our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment originates loans through seven lending platforms. These lending platforms, which are organized based on loan product, property type and location and lending relationship, consist of the following:

    Principal Finance.    Our principal finance group provides debt financing primarily for traditional commercial real estate asset classes, such as multifamily housing, office, retail and industrial properties, that do not fall within the more specialized lending platforms described below. In addition, this group finances non-traditional asset types such as land, student housing, industrial and parking facilities. The loans that we originate through this platform consist primarily of permanent loans, floating rate interim loans and mezzanine loans. Our principal finance group also extends secured and unsecured lines of credit to real estate development companies and REITs on a limited basis.

    Agency.    Our agency lending group originates loans that are secured by multifamily properties, manufactured housing communities, student housing and healthcare properties (other than affordable housing properties) as an approved multifamily seller/servicer for Fannie Mae's DUS™ program and as a Multifamily Program Plus seller/servicer for Freddie Mac. Loans originated under these programs generally consist of permanent loans that satisfy the sale eligibility criteria established from time to time by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively, and are sold to the respective GSE shortly after closing.

    Hospitality.    Our hospitality lending group originates construction, interim, permanent, forward commitments and mezzanine loans in connection with the financing of commercial properties in the hospitality industry. Properties financed by our hospitality lending group include a broad range of full service, focused and limited service properties and, since 2003, golf course financing on an interim and permanent basis.

    FHA/HUD.    Our FHA/HUD lending group provides permanent loans and construction loans for owners and developers of multifamily housing, senior housing, healthcare facilities and manufactured housing communities that benefit from mortgage insurance provided by the FHA and qualify as collateral for the issuance of Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities, or "Ginnie Mae securities."

    Military Housing.    Our military housing group specializes in arranging financing for United States government public-private venture related projects, including the privatization of military housing. Financing of these projects involves the use of structured loans and securitization facilities for properties and assets that typically are subject to long-term ground leases with the United States government.

    Construction.    Our construction lending group arranges construction loans that are used to finance most types of commercial properties in North America, including market rate and affordable multifamily housing, condominiums, retail, industrial, office, hospitality and healthcare. Typically, these loans have a maturity that covers the construction period and, if necessary, an agreed-upon period to achieve stabilized occupancy. The group also provides construction loan administration services for our company and, as a participant in the market-rate forward financing programs offered by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, guarantees that construction of a project receiving bond credit enhancement or permanent financing from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mae will be completed.

142


    Healthcare.    Our healthcare lending group originates loans to finance most types of healthcare facilities in North America, including independent and assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities and continuing care retirement communities.

          The following table presents information concerning the volume of loans originated (other than on a correspondent basis) by our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment during the periods indicated, including loans originated by us but funded by third parties or other business segments.

Loan Products

          We offer borrowers in the United States a broad range of loan products that may be tailored to meet their specific financing needs. While we structure our lending arrangements to satisfy a borrower's particular requirements, loans originated by our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment generally fall within one of the following four categories:

    Permanent Loans.    Permanent loans typically consist of non-recourse fixed rate loans that are used to acquire or refinance commercial properties that generally have achieved stabilized occupancy. Our permanent loans generally are secured by a first mortgage lien on the financed property and are senior to any mezzanine financing extended to the borrower and to the borrower's equity in the mortgaged property. A significant majority of our permanent loans are securitized or placed with GSEs.

    Interim and Bridge Loans.    Interim and bridge loans consist primarily of non-recourse floating rate loans (and some recourse floating rate loans) that are used to provide short- or medium-term financing for commercial properties that are being repositioned, that have not achieved stabilized occupancy or that require a more complex long-term financing arrangement. Given the temporary nature of the financing that they provide, our interim and bridge loans often create opportunities for us to provide permanent financing when the loans reach maturity. Our interim or bridge loans generally are secured by a first mortgage lien on the financed property and are senior to any mezzanine financing extended to the borrower and to the borrower's equity in the mortgaged property.

    Construction Loans.    Construction loans consist primarily of loans that are used to finance the construction or improvement of commercial properties and generally are subject to completion guarantees. In some cases, construction loans may provide for recourse against the obligor, although recourse construction loans have become less common in recent years. Our construction loans generally are secured by a first mortgage lien on the financed property and are senior to any mezzanine financing extended to the borrower and to the borrower's equity in the mortgaged property. Typically, our construction loans are drawn down over time as a project reaches various stages of completion, bear interest at a floating rate and have a maturity that covers the construction period and, if necessary, an agreed-upon period to achieve stabilized occupancy.

    Mezzanine Loans.    Mezzanine loans generally consist of non-recourse fixed and floating rate loans that are used, in tandem with interim or permanent senior financing secured by first mortgage debt, to acquire or refinance commercial properties. Our mezzanine loans are secured by a pledge of the borrower's equity interests in the entity that owns the financed property (rather than a mortgage lien on the property itself), but may also have the benefit of additional security through a subordinated mortgage lien on the property. If an event of default occurs, a mezzanine lender generally may foreclose on the pledged equity interests and becomes the indirect owner of the property, subject to any first mortgage debt.

Proprietary and Correspondent Lending

          We are both a proprietary lender and a correspondent lender for North American commercial real estate financing transactions. Our proprietary lending activities consist of:

    originating and funding loans with our own capital that are not purchased by GSEs or credit enhanced by agencies, which we refer to as "direct lending"; and

    originating and funding loans that are purchased by GSEs, such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, or credit enhanced by agencies, such as the FHA and Ginnie Mae, shortly after closing, which we refer to as "GSE and agency lending."

          We are one of approximately 27 approved seller/servicers who participate in Fannie Mae's DUS™ program for multifamily, manufactured housing, student housing and certain healthcare

144



properties. Under the DUS™ program, Fannie Mae has delegated to us responsibility for ensuring that the loans we sell to Fannie Mae satisfy the underwriting and other eligibility requirements from time to time established by Fannie Mae. In exchange for this delegation of authority, we assume the risk for a portion of losses that may result from a borrower's default. For more information regarding our risk-sharing agreements with Fannie Mae, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments and Contractual Obligations." We also are retained by Fannie Mae to service all loans that we sell to Fannie Mae. Our North American lending platforms originated $175.3 million, $358.5 million and $1.2 billion in principal amount of market-rate multi-family loans for Fannie Mae under its DUS™ program during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, making us one of the largest originators of loans for the program during those periods.

          We are one of approximately 28 lenders approved as a seller/servicer by Freddie Mac under its Multifamily Program Plus under which we originate and sell to Freddie Mac multifamily and healthcare loans that satisfy Freddie Mac's underwriting and other eligibility requirements. Under the program, we submit our completed loan underwriting package to Freddie Mac and obtain Freddie Mac's commitment to purchase the loan at a specified price after closing. Since Freddie Mac is actively involved in the credit approval process, we do not have any risk sharing obligations on loans that we sell to Freddie Mac under its Multifamily Program Plus. We also are retained by Freddie Mac to service all loans that we sell to Freddie Mac. We originated $980.9 million, $1.4 billion and $3.8 billion in principal amount of loans for Freddie Mac during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, and we were the largest originator of loans as a Multifamily Program Plus seller/servicer during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

          As an approved FHA mortgagee and Ginnie Mae issuer, we provide FHA-insured construction and permanent loans to developers and owners of multifamily housing, senior housing, healthcare facilities and manufactured housing communities. As a condition to our issuance of Ginnie Mae securities backed by our FHA-insured mortgages, we guarantee to Ginnie Mae that investors who purchase the Ginnie Mae securities will receive timely payments of principal and interest associated with the security even if the mortgage loan payments are not received on time from the borrower. Often, we execute delivery contracts on a "when and if issued basis" with an identified purchaser of the Ginnie Mae securities in advance of our funding the FHA-insured mortgage that will back the security, which, in turn, sets the interest rate, principal, maturity and other key financial terms for that FHA-insured mortgage.

          Our correspondent lending activities consist primarily of originating (but not funding) loans as a correspondent lender for insurance companies, banks, third-party conduit lenders and other third parties in connection with our military housing financing. When we act as a correspondent lender, we typically perform a variety of services for the lender that assist the lender in evaluating the loan, including pre-screening the borrower and mortgaged property collateral for program eligibility, accepting the loan application and borrower deposits for the lender, coordinating due diligence investigations by licensed appraisers and engineers and generally providing market intelligence about the markets in which the loan collateral is located. We generally do not retain any interest in the loans that we originate as a correspondent lender, although we are often contracted by the lenders to service the loans for them. We have established correspondent lending relationships with more than 100 lenders in North America that provide us with an ongoing source of correspondent lending opportunities. We originated $646.2 million, $1.9 billion and $7.2 billion in principal amount of loans as a correspondent lender during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

Capital Markets Activities

          Our capital markets activities in North America include arranging asset sales, including syndications, participations or securitizations. Subject to market conditions, we generally securitize our North American loans in the secondary market only after a sufficient volume of loans (usually between $600 million and $1.5 billion in principal amount) with similar characteristics are accumulated. Prior to the recent disruption in the securitization markets, the length of time from the origination of our loans to their securitization typically ranged from 90 to 120 days, depending on a number of factors, including the volume of loans originated by product type, prevailing interest rates and market conditions. To reduce the aggregation period for our loans, we have partnered with other loan originators to pool our loans together in securitization transactions. When we have pooled our loans with other lenders, we have generally retained the related primary servicing rights and, in most cases, obtained the master servicing rights for the related pool of loans.

NMTC Funds

          Our North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment is a sponsor of NMTC funds. NMTC funds are special purpose entities that make investments in qualifying community development entities, or "CDEs," that receive new markets tax credit allocations under a federal program that is designed to increase the availability of investment capital in low-income communities. The NMTC program was enacted in 2000 and is administered by an arm of the United States Treasury Department known as the Community Development Financial Institutions

146



Fund, which allocates new markets tax credits through a competitive application process to qualifying CDEs on an annual basis. These tax credits allow investors in CDEs to claim a 39% tax credit against federal tax liabilities over a seven-year compliance period. We administer NMTC funds that have invested, or committed to invest, in over $1.0 billion of new markets tax credit allocations, consisting of $287.0 million for CDEs that we sponsor and over $799.5 million for CDEs sponsored by third parties.

          Our NMTC funds have employed a leveraged model that is designed to separate the cash flows from the tax benefits that are generated by the CDE's activities. Under this model, fund investors contributed equity to our fund, and we provided the fund with debt financing and typically served as the fund's manager. The fund used this debt and equity capital to make an equity investment in a qualifying CDE, which in turn extended financing to eligible real estate projects. Fund investors receive their return almost exclusively from the tax credits that are generated by our fund's investment in the CDE. When we sponsor NMTC funds, we generally receive interest income and fees that are generated by the CDE's financing activities; structuring fees and investment syndication income for forming and managing the fund; and/or a residual interest in the equity capital contributed to the fund by fund investors. When we administer and manage CDEs sponsored by third parties we generally earn various fees depending on the type of services that we perform.

North American Investments and Funds Management

          Our North American Investments and Funds Management segment makes investments on behalf of its sponsored funds and with our own capital. As of March 31, 2008, the segment had approximately $10.2 billion of assets under management, of which approximately $9.2 billion consisted of investments that were managed on behalf of a multitude of investors including pension plans, investment funds, insurance companies, other institutions and high net worth individuals.

          Our North American Investments and Funds Management segment conducts its investment business through our subsidiary Capmark Investments LP, an SEC-registered investment adviser, and its levered finance group and real estate equity group. The investment professionals in each investment group oversee our third-party investments and funds management process, including integrating research, conducting due diligence, and making and managing investments on an ongoing basis.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our North American Investments and Funds Management segment for the periods indicated. You should read this summary financial information in conjunction with the information included in this prospectus under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Segment Results."

Investment Approach

          Our investment approach focuses on finding "relative value" for investors across a broad range of investment opportunities that arise in an increasingly diverse real estate investment market. Relative value measures the attractiveness in terms of risk, liquidity and return of one investment against another and is a primary factor in our decision-making process. We make investment decisions based on research and local market knowledge that is generated by our North American commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking network, capital markets activities and other real estate operations. We supplement this market awareness with experienced investment professionals who have extensive knowledge of major property types (multifamily housing, office, retail and industrial) and who specialize in acquisition, disposal and management of investments.

147


Investment Funds

          We make investments on behalf of investors using various investment structures, principally commingled investment funds that we manage pursuant to investment management agreements. The private investment funds that we sponsor consist of limited partnerships or limited liability companies in which third-party investors hold limited partner or similar interests. We hold general partner or similar interests in these funds and provide them with investment management and advisory services. Investors are required to contribute capital for investments that we make in defined real estate asset classes in accordance with pre-agreed investment strategies. We currently sponsor 35 private funds, including CDOs and resecuritization transactions.

          We frequently invest our own capital in our investment funds. Our portfolio managers may also make similar investments with their own personal capital in accordance with our internal policies with respect to those investments. These investments are intended to align our interests and the interests of our portfolio managers with the interests of investors whose assets we manage.

Levered Finance Group

          Our levered finance group provides a range of investment advisory and management services that are focused on achieving high yield and opportunistic returns through investments in real estate debt instruments. The group's current investment strategies focus on mortgage loans and securities, mezzanine loans, CMBS, RMBS, REIT securities and synthetic securities.

          Our levered finance group earns both recurring and non-recurring fees that vary depending on the type of investment structure that is employed for making investments. The fee structure currently used by the group provides for the payment of the following types of fees:

    Commingled Funds. We receive recurring management fees with respect to commingled funds that our levered finance group sponsors. These fees are generally calculated based on a percentage of the capital committed to the fund or a percentage of the face value of positions held by the fund. If the net income of a fund meets certain prescribed targets, we may also be entitled to receive an incentive fee that is calculated based on the returns generated.

    CDO Sponsorship. We receive one-time structuring fees and recurring collateral management fees that are payable during the term of the CDO program. These fees generally are calculated as a percentage of the face value of the collateral. If the net income from a CDO program meets certain prescribed targets, we may also be entitled to receive an incentive fee that is calculated based on the returns generated.

Real Estate Equity Group

          Our real estate equity group provides a range of investment advisory and management services that are focused on North American real estate equity transactions and, more recently, real estate equity transactions in the United Kingdom and certain countries in the European Union that are sourced by our European Operations segment. Real estate equity investments involve making an equity investment in an owner of real property rather than extending debt financing. Our real estate equity group has forged relationships with leading operating partners in major markets and has investment expertise in all the major property types, including office, apartment, industrial and retail. Our real estate equity group distributes its real estate related investments and generates additional equity investment opportunities by sponsoring investment funds that invest in joint ventures with owners of various property types (primarily multifamily, office, retail and industrial).

          Our real estate equity group earns both recurring and non-recurring fees in connection with investments that are made by our real estate equity funds. In connection with these funds, we

148



receive recurring management fees that are based on a fixed amount, a percentage of the net operating income generated by the fund, a percentage of the capital committed to the fund and/or a percentage of the capital invested in the fund. In addition, if the amount of net income generated by the fund or account exceeds prescribed targets, we may also be entitled to receive an incentive fee that is calculated based on the returns generated.

Realpoint

          In August 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets and transferred substantially all of the liabilities related to our research division, Realpoint. Realpoint provided research, surveillance, risk analysis and data management services for the real estate industry. We sold those assets to a

149



company formed by former Realpoint employees for approximately $9.7 million, for which we recorded a gain on sale of approximately $7.1 million related to the transaction.

North American Servicing

          Our North American Servicing segment carries out primary, master and special servicing activities for commercial real estate securitized loans and loan pools that are originated by us or by third parties in North America. We are an approved servicer of loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHA. We are one of the largest servicers of commercial real estate loans in North America. As of March 31, 2008, our North American Servicing segment had a primary, master and special servicing portfolio that included more than 41,000 loans with an outstanding principal balance of $295.2 billion. Our average servicing escrow balance during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.9 billion.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our North American Servicing segment for the periods indicated. You should read this summary financial information in conjunction with the information included in this prospectus under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Segment Results."

Primary and Master Servicing

          We provide primary servicing for both loans that we originate and loans that are originated by others. When we act as the primary servicer of a loan, we are the primary contact with the borrower and generally are responsible for:

    carrying out all cash management functions relating to the loan, including providing monthly billing statements to the borrower and collecting and applying payments on the loan;

    administering reserve and escrow funds for repairs, tenant improvements, taxes and insurance;

    obtaining and analyzing operating and financial statements of the borrower and performing periodic property inspections;

    preparing and providing periodic reports and remittances to the master servicer or other designated persons;

    administering lien filings; and

    performing other tasks and obligations that are delegated to us.

          A master servicer is responsible for administration of a pool of loans that is transferred to a trust or other special purpose entity in connection with a securitization transaction unless and until a servicing transfer event (generally a default or imminent default) occurs, in which case the affected loans are transferred to a special servicer. When we act as a master servicer, we enter into a pooling and servicing agreement that generally requires us to assume ultimate responsibility for administering all pooled loans and ensuring that primary servicers act in a diligent manner when

150



carrying out their collection and administration activities. We are also required to handle all remittance and reporting activities required by the pooling and servicing agreement, which generally requires that we make remittances of loan payments to the trustee or agent and provide periodic reports concerning the pooled loans to the trustee or agent and rating agencies. While some of these functions may be delegated and performed by a primary servicer pursuant to a sub-servicing agreement, when we act as a master servicer, we are ultimately responsible for the performance by any primary servicer of any functions that we delegate to them.

          When we act as a master servicer, we generally are required under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement to advance funds to cover any delinquent payments on the securitized loans and any taxes and insurance premiums not covered by borrowers' escrow funds if it is determined that the advances will be recoverable in the future. These "servicing advances" are treated as having priority over the rights of certificate holders in the pool. Servicing advances may be recovered as a priority from related loan proceeds or may be recovered from general collections as well. We are entitled to have any servicing advances that we extend, plus accrued interest, paid from future cash flows from the serviced loans. In certain circumstances, we may have similar obligations to advance funds in connection with loans under which we are a primary servicer.

          In return for performing primary and master servicing functions, we receive servicing fees that are generally equal to a specified percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the loans being serviced. We may also be entitled to other forms of servicing compensation, such as late fees and fees for additional services that we are requested to perform, including loan modifications, lease reviews and defeasance.

Special Servicing

          A special servicer is a specialist in dealing with defaulted loans and is usually selected by the holder of the subordinated interest in a securitization vehicle. Under most pooling and servicing agreements, only loans that are subject to a servicing transfer event may be transferred from the master servicer to the special servicer. The definition of a servicing transfer event typically includes a loan becoming more than 60 days delinquent, a borrower bankruptcy or an imminent default as determined by the master servicer. Once a loan is transferred to us for special servicing, our asset managers take measures to collect all sums due and payable on each defaulted loan and to bring the account to a current status in accordance with the terms of the loan documents and in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the applicable pooling and servicing agreement. Possible resolution strategies may include loan modification, foreclosure, a negotiated pay-off or a sale of the defaulted loan.

          Special servicers are generally paid both servicing fees and resolution fees in connection with the loans that they service. Servicing fees generally are paid monthly at a rate based on the outstanding principal balance of the affected loans, and resolution fees are generally based on the net proceeds or cash flows realized in connection with the resolution of the affected loans. In certain instances, pooling and servicing agreements provide for the payment of additional fees for workouts, modifications or assumptions of a defaulted or performing loan or the payment of late fees or defaulted interest.

          Our current portfolio of special servicing rights consists of servicing rights that we acquired as a result of our retention of subordinated interests in our securitization transactions prior to 2004. Beginning in 2004, we implemented a loan distribution strategy that focuses on selling subordinated interests created by new securitization transactions. As a result, while we continue to engage in special servicing on a contracted basis, we are not actively engaged in acquiring new special servicing rights.

151


Ratings

          Rating agencies publish servicer ratings for primary, master and special servicers of commercial real estate loans. A servicer rating is an indication of a servicer's ability to effectively service real estate finance transactions. These ratings are generally based on an analysis of the servicer's experience in the servicing business, financial condition, management, staff, training programs, procedures, controls and systems and other factors. The following table presents information concerning the ratings accorded our U.S. primary, master and special servicing operations by S&P, Fitch and DBRS as of the date of this prospectus. Each rating agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.

 
  Ratings
Servicing Operations

  S&P(1)
  Fitch(2)
  DBRS(3)
U.S. primary servicing   Strong   CPS1-   Superior
U.S. master servicing   Strong   CMS1-   Superior
U.S. special servicing   Strong   CSS1   Not Rated

Notes:

(1)
"Strong" is the highest of five ratings given servicing companies by S&P. A rating of "Strong" demonstrates a "very high degree of ability, efficiency and competence in servicing when compared to other servicers."

(2)
Companies with a level "1" rating, the highest category of rating given a servicer of a commercial real estate transaction by Fitch, are expected to have all areas of their company operating at "top efficiency and productivity" and must have "proven abilities and performance of the highest standards." "CSS1" is the highest rating given special servicers and "CPS1-" and "CMS1-" are the second highest ratings given primary and master servicers, respectively. Fitch maintains 14 rating levels ranging from the highest, CPS1, to the lowest, CPS5-.

(3)
"Superior" is the highest of four ratings given servicing companies by DBRS.

Our Servicing Portfolio

          Our North American Servicing segment generally acts as the primary servicer of loans that are originated by our North American lending platforms (even after those loans have been distributed) and the master servicer of the pools of loans that we securitize in connection with our North American capital markets activities. In addition, our North American Servicing segment acquires the rights to service loans and pools of loans in securitization transactions that have been arranged by third parties and carries out servicing activities on a contracted basis for third parties (such as insurance companies, banks and financial institutions) who engage us to carry out servicing functions under their own brand name.

Notes:

(1)
"Primary/Master/Special" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the master or primary servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) and have been named as the special servicer.

(2)
"Primary/Master" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the master or primary servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) but do not act as special servicer.

(3)
"Special" consists of loans with respect to which we have been named as the special servicer and do not act in any other servicing capacity.

Escrow Deposits

          As a servicer, we are frequently responsible for managing the escrow balances that are maintained in custodial accounts for the purposes of paying principal and interest on loans that we service and funding repairs, tenant improvements, taxes and insurance due on the properties that have been financed. When these amounts are maintained with banks that are not affiliated with our company, we typically generate interest income from financing arrangements provided by those banks. When these amounts are maintained with Capmark Bank, our subsidiary, we generally receive trust fees for our escrow related trust services. The amount of trust fees that we receive in connection with our North American servicing activities can be significant.

Asian Operations

          Our Asian Operations segment carries out a range of commercial real estate activities in Japan, and selected activities in Taiwan, the Philippines and China. The segment's operations have focused on making real estate equity investments, acquiring portfolios of non-performing and real estate loans and originating and servicing commercial real estate loans. To reduce the balance sheet risk associated with the segment's lending activities, we have managed our loan portfolio exposure through loan sales, including participations and securitizations. We have significantly

153



reduced our proprietary Asian lending and investment activities. We are also reducing staffing levels in our Asian platform to reflect the decreased level of lending and investment activity.

          Beginning with the commencement of our operations in Japan, we have historically used acquisitions of non-performing loans as a means of entering commercial real estate finance markets in Asia. While this strategy has allowed us to broaden our operations to include Taiwan, the Philippines and China, Japan remains the primary focus of our Asian operations. We intend to continue to emphasize Japan as the focal point of our Asian business activities. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 88% of the segment's assets were located in Japan and the segment's Japanese operations accounted for approximately 96% and 81% of the segment's total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our Asian Operations segment for the periods indicated. You should read this summary financial information in conjunction with the information included in this prospectus under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Basis of Presentation—Presentation of Our Segment Results."

Acquisition of Non-Performing Loans

          Our distressed debt acquisition activities have involved acquiring non-performing for investment and restructuring the loans or entering into workouts with borrowers, which may include a sale of underlying collateral, discounted payoff, debt restructuring or foreclosure. The restructuring activities are carried out by employees located in Japan and Taiwan who are supported by specialized asset managers who have experience in administering, managing and resolving non-performing loans. We believe that our in-house special servicing capabilities and experience provide us with a significant advantage when pricing non-performing loans and developing resolution strategies.

          As of March 31, 2008, we had invested more than $2.2 billion in non-performing loans generally secured by real estate collateral since December 1997.

          The following table presents the volumes of non-performing loans acquired by our Asian Operations segment by country during the periods presented.

Note:

(1)
We acquired non-performing loans at a substantial discount to par. At the time of acquisition, these loans evidence credit quality deterioration and we do not anticipate that these loans will perform in accordance with their contractual payment requirements. Because we do not

154


    expect to recover all of such loans' outstanding principal balance at the time of acquisition, we have presented the information in the table above based on each acquired loan's book value as of the date of acquisition.

Real Estate Equity Investments

          Our Asian real estate equity investments have focused primarily on the commercial real estate market in Japan. In Japan we had made an aggregate of $1.6 billion in real estate equity investments as of March 31, 2008. The property types in which we have invested range from traditional asset classes, such as multifamily and office, to more specialized asset classes, such as hospitality. Using a similar approach as we have in Japan, we have leveraged our real estate experience gained from non-performing loan investments in our Asian markets outside of Japan to acquire real estate equity investments in those markets. As of March 31, 2008, we made real estate equity investments in Taiwan of $205.6 million, in China of $64.9 million and in the Philippines of $11.2 million. We believe that these investments have the potential to generate returns through capital improvements, re-leasing, intensive management, repositioning and financial restructuring.

          We have made certain real estate equity investments through a joint venture with a client of our North American Investments and Funds Management business.

Loan Origination and Receivables Purchases

          Our Asian Operations segment sources new lending opportunities through our Asian lending group's existing relationships with property owners and developers and other third parties rather than through a mortgage banking network. To date, our loan originations in Asia have focused on the Japanese market, where the securitization market is more developed. Our lending activities in that country have involved originating permanent, interim and bridge, mezzanine and construction loans for Japanese borrowers in connection with financings of most types of commercial property, including office, multifamily housing, retail space and hospitality properties. In addition, our Japanese lending activities have included originating mortgage loans through tax-efficient structures that are classified as investment securities on our consolidated balance sheet. These loans generally have maturities that range from one to five years. We manage balance sheet exposure by engaging in loan participations, syndications and securitizations. As of March 31, 2008, we had originated an aggregate of $3.3 billion in principal amount of loans and securitized an aggregate of $847.2 million of loans in Japan since the commencement of our Asian operations.

          The following table presents the volumes of loans described above originated by our Asian Operations segment in Japan during the periods presented.

          In the Philippines, the majority of our activities have involved purchasing receivables from developers of single and multifamily housing in the form of contracts to sell, or "CTS." A CTS is a common form of developer financing in the Philippines whereby the developer sells a home to a buyer under a contract of future payment obligations typically in the range of three to 10 years. The developer transfers title to the underlying property only upon full payment by the buyer. We intend to hold these receivables for a "seasoning" period after which we expect to sell the receivables to banks. As of March 31, 2008 we had closed 10 CTS transactions for $70.2 million.

Servicing

          Our Asian Operations segment carries out servicing activities in Japan, where we were one of the first servicers authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Justice to perform primary and special servicing activities. We are also authorized to perform master servicing and have a master servicer rating.

          The following table summarizes the composition of our Asian servicing portfolio by the source of the related servicing rights as of the dates indicated.

Notes:

(1)
"Primary/Master/Special" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the master or primary servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) and have been named as the special servicer.

(2)
"Primary/Master" consists of loans with respect to which we act as the master or primary servicer (or both the primary and master servicer) but do not act as special servicer.

          S&P currently rates our primary and master servicing operations in Japan as "Above Average" with a stable outlook with a "Strong" rating for Loan/Asset Administration, which is a component of the primary servicing rating. Currently, "Above Average" is the highest rating accorded in the primary servicer category by S&P in Japan and indicates a "high degree" of ability, efficiency and competence in servicing when compared to others. We are also listed on S&P's "Select Servicer List." Fitch has rated our Japanese special servicing operations "CSS2+." A rating in the CSS2

156


indicates that a servicer demonstrates high performance in relevant categories, including the effective management of a diverse portfolio, a seasoned management team with a history of working together, a stable employee base, strong, stable financial resources, well documented and complete policies and procedures and strong systems and reporting capabilities. While our servicing operation in Japan is rated as a primary, master and special servicer, to date we have not carried out any master servicer functions; however, under certain circumstances, including where we are contractually obligated to make servicer advances to preserve the integrity of a CMBS transaction, our Japanese servicing operation would be carrying out what is typically a master servicer function.

European Operations

          Our European Operations segment has conducted a range of commercial real estate activities in the United Kingdom, Ireland and selected countries in Continental Europe. The segment's operations have focused on originating and servicing commercial real estate loans and making real estate equity investments. We have significantly reduced our proprietary European lending activities. We are reducing staffing levels in our European platform to reflect the smaller loan portfolio and the decreased level of lending activity. To reduce the principal risk associated with our lending activities, we have distributed a significant portion of the loans that the segment originates or acquires through asset sales, including, syndications, participations and securitizations.

          As a result of the curtailment of our European lending activity starting in late 2007, we are considering voluntarily giving up our Irish banking license. The termination of our Irish banking license would allow us to redeploy the capital currently held by Capmark Bank Europe and eliminate Irish bank regulatory reporting obligations. Any termination would not affect our ownership of any assets or have any material impact on our current business operations.

          In April 2008, we completed the sale of significant interests in 39 loans in our European loan portfolio to a third-party institutional buyer for a total aggregate sale price of approximately $1.8 billion.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our European Operations segment for the periods indicated.

Loan Origination

          In Europe, we have sourced new lending opportunities through our European lending group's existing relationships with borrowers rather than through a mortgage banking network. Historically, our European lending operations have focused on the commercial real estate market in the United Kingdom where we have well-developed relationships with a number of borrowers. Most of the loans that we have originated in Europe consisted of first mortgage loans, interim and bridge loans, mezzanine debt and construction loans and are used to finance retail, office, mixed use, industrial and hospitality properties.

          In addition to originating loans, our European Operations segment has in the past invested $139.0 million in non-performing loans. Most of these investments have been made in Germany.

Capital Markets Activities

          Our capital markets activities in Europe have included asset sales, including syndications, participations and securitizations of the loans that we originated or acquired in Europe and have not transferred to our investments and funds management platform or are not held for investment. When we have securitized loans in Europe, we have generally pooled our loans with loans originated by others with the goal of reducing the aggregation periods or increasing the size and liquidity of our securitization transactions. When we have pooled our loans with other lenders, we have generally retained primary and master servicing rights. Compared to North American securitization transactions, our European securitization transactions typically have been characterized by longer aggregation periods and smaller pools of loans. Due to the longer aggregation periods for our European securitization transactions, we generally have been required to bear the principal risk associated with our European lending operations for a comparatively longer period of time. Due to disruptions in the European securitization markets, we are not currently planning any additional European securitization transactions.

Real Estate Equity Investments

          Our European real estate equity investment activities are carried out by our European real estate equity group, which commenced operations in 2003. These activities historically have focused on making investments through joint ventures with developers and sponsors of commercial real estate properties who act as operators and managers of the properties being acquired. A number of these investments have been made in connection with transactions in which we have also provided debt financing.

          As of March 31, 2008, we had made an aggregate of $390.8 million of real estate equity investments in Europe, most of which had been made in retail, industrial and office properties in the United Kingdom that require repositioning or occupancy stabilization. We have made real estate equity investments in selected countries in Continental Europe and, in particular, Germany.

Servicing

          Our European Operations segment generally acts as the primary servicer of loans that are originated by our European lending platform (even after those loans have been distributed) and the master servicer of the pools of loans that we securitize in connection with our European capital markets activities. In addition, our European Operations segment competitively bids to service European loans and securitization transactions that have been arranged by third parties. This

158



segment also carries out servicing activities in Europe on a contracted basis for third parties (such as insurance companies, banks and financial institutions) who engage us to carry out servicing functions under their own brand name. When we retain or acquire a subordinated residual interest in a European securitization transaction, we are generally designated as the special servicer for the securitized pool of loans. The loans that we service in Europe include loans used to finance properties in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.

North American Affordable Housing

          Our North American Affordable Housing segment manages LIHTC funds. In late 2005, we ceased originating new LIHTC investments and the primary focus for our LIHTC operations is now on the management of our existing funds and our inventory of interests in partnerships that own multifamily properties expected to generate low-income housing tax credits. Historically, this segment has also arranged debt financing for multifamily properties that qualify for certain types of income-based occupancy requirements, rent restrictions or similar limitations. In February 2007, we sold the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt platform to affiliates of Citigroup Inc. and agreed not to engage in that business for a two-year period.

          The following table presents summary financial information for our North American Affordable Housing segment for the periods indicated.

LIHTC Funds

          Through our North American Affordable Housing segment, we have sponsored and syndicated more than 100 LIHTC funds, which have raised over $3 billion in equity from institutional investors and provided capital for the development of approximately 1,000 low-income housing projects since 1988. The LIHTC program is offered pursuant to a federal program that was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The Tax Reform Act created a program of tax credits for the development of rental housing targeted to lower income households. Under the LIHTC program, states are authorized to issue federal tax credits for the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of affordable rental housing. The credits can be used by property owners to offset taxes on other income, are transferable to those who provide financing under the terms of the program and are generally sold to unaffiliated investors to raise initial development funds for a project. To qualify for credits, a rental housing development project must have a specific proportion of its rental units set aside for lower income households with the rents on these units subject to restrictions. The amount of the credit that can be provided for a project is a function of the development cost (excluding land), the proportion of units that are set aside for low-income households and the tax credit rate (which varies based on interest rates, the type of development and financing sources). Credits are generally delivered over a period of ten years.

          In a LIHTC fund, investors acquire direct limited partner interests in an upper-tier investment partnership, which in turn invests as a limited partner in one or more lower-tier LIHTC partnerships that own and operate multifamily properties. Investors in our LIHTC funds are most often corporations seeking to benefit from low-income housing tax credits and tax losses that are generated by a lower-tier partnership's multifamily properties.

          Our LIHTC operations have involved acquiring or making arrangements to acquire interests in lower-tier partnerships that are developing multifamily properties that are expected to generate low-income housing tax credits; organizing an upper-tier partnership to hold the investments in the lower-tier partnerships; making arrangements for the upper-tier partnership to purchase interests in

160



the lower-tier partnerships; syndicating interests in the upper-tier partnerships to third-party investors; and providing ongoing asset management services during the term of the fund. As a fund sponsor, we receive syndication fees for organizing the fund, coordinating the capital raising and arranging the fund's investments in lower-tier partnerships. In some cases, we have provided investment yield guarantees to fund investors, for which we are paid additional fees. We also receive asset management fees associated with the ongoing administration of a fund. As of March 31, 2008, we managed LIHTC funds with total invested equity of over $2.4 billion, of which $1.9 billion was invested in LIHTC funds for which we have provided yield guarantees. The LIHTC funds that we manage have invested in approximately 666 lower-tier partnerships. As of March 31, 2008 we held $174.0 million of investments in unsyndicated projects.

          Our LIHTC operations have experienced difficulties in recent years that have negatively impacted the performance of our North American Affordable Housing segment and adversely affected our overall results. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Understanding Our Financial Results—Impact of LIHTC Operations." In response to these developments, since September 30, 2005, we have made significant changes to our business plan for our LIHTC operations that are designed to reduce adverse impacts that our LIHTC operations may have on our future results of operations while enabling us to continue to fulfill our obligations to the funds for which we serve as the general partner. These changes have included:

    appointing a new head of our LIHTC operations and making significant personnel changes in our LIHTC operations, including in our LIHTC asset management, investor reporting, accounting and legal staff;

    ceasing new acquisitions of interests in lower-tier partnerships;

    substantially reducing our inventories of interests in lower-tier partnerships;

    terminating operations relating to the development of multifamily properties for LIHTC funds;

    implementing a more detailed and comprehensive property risk rating process;

    terminating our financial support of properties held by lower-tier partnerships in our guaranteed LIHTC funds where we have determined that continued support of the properties is not cost-effective; and

    transferring general partnership interests and management responsibilities relating to certain non-guaranteed LIHTC funds to the fund investor or a third party.

          Our primary focus with respect to our LIHTC operations is now on managing our existing funds. We do not expect to sponsor additional LIHTC funds in the future. In the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, we transferred general partnership interests and related management obligations relating to seventeen non-guaranteed LIHTC funds to third parties. We will consider future opportunities to transfer management obligations or yield guarantee obligations or otherwise reduce the size of our LIHTC business.

Lending Platform

          Prior to its disposition in February 2007, our North American Affordable Housing segment operated a single lending platform that offered borrowers alternative forms of debt financing, including taxable and tax-exempt bond financing and loans, to finance the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or refinancing of qualifying affordable housing projects.

          On February 7, 2007, we sold the majority of the assets of our affordable housing debt financing operations to affiliates of Citigroup Inc. The assets sold included most of our affordable

161



housing bond portfolio, residual interests in securitizations related to affordable housing bonds, the common stock of certain subsidiaries engaged in the business, including Capmark Municipal Mortgage Inc., certain mortgage servicing rights related to our affordable housing debt financing business, remarketing agreements, office leases and tangible property and equipment. In connection with the sale, we retained approximately $300 million in bonds issued by our North American Affordable Housing segment. Except for activities relating to the retained bonds and certain services we are providing on a transitional basis, we have ceased the affordable housing debt financing and securitization activities previously conducted by this segment. Approximately 60 Capmark employees involved in the business joined affiliates of Citigroup Inc. in connection with the transaction.

          The total purchase price for the assets sold was approximately $500 million in cash plus the buyers' assumption of financing obligations associated with the business. In connection with the sale we agreed not to engage for two years following the closing in the affordable housing debt financing business, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, our seller/servicer agreement with Fannie Mae was revised so that we may not originate affordable housing debt under our DUS™ seller/servicer agreement without Fannie Mae's approval.

          In connection with the transaction, we entered into a sub-servicing agreement under which we continue to service the mortgage loans and bond transactions in the portfolio sold to the buyer.

Other Business Activities

          Our business segments do not include certain business operations that are not material to our company as a whole. The business operations that have been excluded from our segment reporting include commercial real estate finance activities that we conducted in Mexico, which included investing in Mexican real estate related investments. In December 2007, we sold all of the stock of our two Mexican subsidiaries that comprised our Mexican asset management and servicing business to a newly-formed company owned by our former Mexico operations management team. We have engaged this newly-formed company to manage our Mexican assets.

Competition

          We compete across a variety of business lines within the real estate finance sector, including lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management and servicing. In carrying out our lending and mortgage banking business, we compete primarily with mortgage companies and other financial services companies specializing in commercial real estate, including Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., CBRE/Melody, NorthMarq Capital and Wells Fargo, as well as with commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies and other financial services firms. In carrying out our investments and funds management business, we compete primarily with REITs and other investment advisers and sponsors of investment funds, including NorthStar Realty Finance, Newcastle Investment Corp., Rockpoint, iStar Financial, and Anthracite Capital, Inc., in our levered finance investment activities, and CB Richard Ellis Investors, LLC and AEW Capital Management in our real estate equity investment activities. In carrying out our servicing business, we compete primarily with other mortgage servicing companies, including Wachovia Bank, Midland Loan Services, Inc., Wells Fargo, KeyBank Real Estate Capital, Bank of America, Hatfield Philips International, LNR partners, Inc., CWCapital LLC and Centerline Servicing Inc.

          We compete in each of our business lines based on pricing, terms, structure and service. Our competitors seek to compete aggressively on the basis of these factors and we could lose market share to the extent we are unwilling to match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure due to our desire to maintain interest margins, credit standards, the economic capital analysis we apply to our business or any combination of the foregoing. To the extent that we match competitors' pricing,

162



terms or structure, we might experience decreased profit margins and increased risks of loss. Some of our competitors are large companies that have substantial capital and technological and marketing resources, and some of these competitors are larger than us and may have access to capital at a lower cost than we do.

Regulation

          Our core business lines are subject to regulation and supervision in a number of jurisdictions. The level of regulation and supervision to which we are subject varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and is based on the type of business activities involved. The regulatory and legal requirements that apply to our activities are subject to change from time to time and may become more restrictive, making our compliance with applicable requirements more difficult or expensive or otherwise restricting our ability to conduct our businesses in the manner that they are now conducted. Changes in applicable regulatory and legal requirements, including changes in their enforcement, could materially and adversely affect our business and our financial condition and results of operations.

United States

Federal and State Regulation of Commercial Lending Activities

          Our commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking and servicing businesses are subject, in certain instances, to supervision and regulation by federal and state governmental authorities in the United States and may be subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions, which, among other things, regulate lending activities, regulate conduct with borrowers, establish maximum interest rates, finance charges and other charges and require disclosures to borrowers. Although most states do not regulate commercial finance, certain states impose limitations on interest rates and other charges and on certain collection practices and creditor remedies and require licensing of lenders and adequate disclosure of certain contract terms. We are also required to comply with certain provisions of the following laws and regulations that are applicable to commercial loans: the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Flood Disaster Protection Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which we refer to as "ERISA," and federal and state securities laws and regulations.

Requirements of GSEs and Federal Agencies

          To maintain our status as approved seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and as an FHA-approved mortgagee and issuer of Ginnie Mae securities, we are required to meet and maintain entity-level eligibility criteria from time to time established by each GSE and agency, such as minimum net worth and capital requirements and compliance with reporting requirements. For our loans to remain eligible for sale to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or to qualify for FHA insurance or for us to remain an approved Ginnie Mae issuer, we are required to originate our loans and perform our loan servicing functions in accordance with the applicable program requirements and guidelines from time to time established by the respective GSE or agency. If we fail to comply with the requirements of any of these programs, the relevant GSE or agency may terminate or withdraw our approval. In addition, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have the authority under their guidelines to terminate a lender's authority to sell loans to it and service their loans. The loss of one or more of these approvals would have a material adverse impact on our operations and could result in further disqualification with other counterparties. In addition, to the extent we are exempt from licensing because of our status as an approved Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac lender or approved FHA

163



mortgagee, we may be required to obtain additional state lender or mortgage banker licensing to originate loans if that status is revoked.

Banking Regulation

          Our subsidiaries include Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank, which are industrial banks that are chartered by the State of Utah. Capmark Bank has deposits that are eligible for insurance by the FDIC in accordance with FDIC rules and each bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and periodic examination by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. Regulatory restrictions require that our U.S. banking subsidiaries comply with capital rules of the FDIC, commonly known as the "prompt corrective action" rules, which set forth a five-tier scheme for measuring the capital adequacy of a bank, with the highest tier designated as "well-capitalized." The prompt corrective action rules restrict the ability of banks that fail to maintain well-capitalized status to accept brokered deposits. As of June 20, 2008, Escrow Bank is not actively engaged in banking operations.

          The following table summarizes the banks' regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated.

Total capital/risk weighted assets   10.0   13.9   450.5   14.8   387.5   16.9   358.8  

          In addition, in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we entered into a capital maintenance agreement with the FDIC that would require us to contribute cash or other assets acceptable to the FDIC to each of our relevant U.S. banking subsidiaries if it falls below "well capitalized" status or its Tier 1 leverage ratio falls below 8%. We do not believe that the requirements to maintain the "well capitalized" status of these banks and to maintain the banks' Tier 1 leverage ratio at a minimum required level will adversely affect our financial condition or future operating performance. We believe that we will be able to meet these requirements without materially changing our current operating plans or long-term strategies. The current business plans of the banks do not contemplate the need for any significant capital contributions from us over the next twelve months.

          Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on their extensions of credit to, and certain other transactions with, our company and other affiliates and on investments in stock or securities of our company and those affiliates. These restrictions prevent us and our affiliates from borrowing from Capmark Bank or Escrow Bank unless the loans are secured in specified amounts. Capmark Bank has received approval from the FDIC to exercise trust powers and, as of June 20, 2008, we have migrated our primary trust operations from Escrow Bank to Capmark Bank. We do not anticipate this change will materially impact our results of operations or financial condition.

          As FDIC-insured depository institutions, our U.S. bank subsidiaries may be held liable for any loss incurred or expected to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with another FDIC-insured institution under common control with the institution in "default" or "in danger of default." This liability is commonly referred to as "cross-guarantee" liability. A "default" is generally defined as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined as certain conditions

164



indicating that a default is likely to occur absent regulatory assistance. An FDIC cross-guarantee claim against a depository institution is generally senior in right of payment to claims of the holding company and its affiliates against the depository institution.

          If the FDIC is appointed the conservator or receiver of an insured depository institution, upon its insolvency or in certain other events, the FDIC has the power: (1) to transfer any of the depository institution's assets and liabilities to a new obligor without the approval of the depository institution's creditors; (2) to enforce the terms of the depository institution's contracts pursuant to their terms; or (3) to repudiate or disaffirm any contract or lease to which the depository institution is a party, the performance of which is determined by the FDIC to be burdensome and the disaffirmance or repudiation of which is determined by the FDIC to promote the orderly administration of the depository institution.

          Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are also subject to regulation under the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. Neither bank, however, is considered a "bank" for the purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

          In May 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would subject companies, such as us, that own industrial banks, referred to as "industrial bank holding companies" to regulation by the FDIC. The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has recently considered a similar bill. In addition, the Utah Department of Financial Institutions, or the "Department," has notified Capmark Bank that it has implemented a holding company supervision program intended to assess the degree to which the holding company serves as a source of financial and managerial strength to its Utah banks. The Department indicated that it intends to conduct periodic onsite source of strength assessments and will evaluate financial strength (including capital, earnings and liquidity), the risks of the holding company organizational structure and risk management practices. The new supervisory program is being implemented under existing statutory authority and will supplement the existing examination activities of the Department and the FDIC. See "Risk Factors—Our business may be adversely affected by the regulated environment in which we operate and by governmental policies."

Regulation as a Broker-Dealer

          We conduct capital markets activities in the United States through Capmark Securities Inc., which is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Exchange Act and with state securities commissions in the United States under state securities laws. Capmark Securities Inc. is also a member of FINRA and, accordingly, is subject to its rules and regulations. A registered broker-dealer is subject to laws and regulations covering all aspects of the securities business, including sales and trading practices, public offerings, use of customers' funds and securities, capital structure, record-keeping and retention and the conduct of its directors, officers, employees and other associated persons. A broker-dealer is also regulated by securities administrators in those states where it does business. Violations of the laws and regulations governing a broker-dealer's actions could result in censures, fines, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders, revocation of licenses or registrations, the suspension or expulsion from the securities industry of the broker-dealer or its officers or employees or other similar consequences by both federal and state securities administrators. Imposition of any of these sanctions on us could impair our ability to distribute our real estate securities in the United States and to promote a secondary market in those securities.

Regulation as an Investment Adviser

          We conduct our investments and funds management business in the United States through Capmark Investments LP, which is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the

165



Investment Advisers Act of 1940. A registered investment adviser is subject to federal and state laws and regulations primarily intended to benefit the investor or client of the adviser. These laws and regulations include requirements relating to, among other things, fiduciary duties to clients, maintaining an effective compliance program, solicitation agreements, conflicts of interest, record keeping and reporting requirements, disclosure requirements, limitations on agency cross and principal transactions between an investment adviser and its advisory clients and general anti-fraud prohibitions. In addition, these laws and regulations generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict us from conducting our advisory activities in the event we fail to comply with those laws and regulations. Sanctions that may be imposed for a failure to comply with applicable legal requirements include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on our engaging in various advisory activities for specified periods of time, the revocation of registrations, other censures and fines.

Japan

          We conduct the majority of our operations in Asia principally through our offices in Japan. Our business in Japan is subject to extensive laws, rules and regulations and judicial and administrative decisions that impose requirements and restrictions on our activities. These laws, rules and regulations include money laundering laws, laws concerning the regulation of receiving capital subscriptions, deposits and interest on deposits, laws restricting interest rates that may be charged on borrowings, laws protecting personal information, laws concerning building lots and buildings, securities laws, laws relating to business trusts, laws regulating real estate syndication businesses, laws governing the servicing of loans and various rules and regulations issued thereunder. Among other things, these laws, rules and regulations impose licensing obligations and financial requirements on us, limit the interest rates, finance charges and other fees that we may charge or pay, regulate the use of credit reports and the reporting of credit information, prohibit discrimination, mandate disclosures and notices to consumers, mandate the collection and reporting of statistical data regarding our customers, regulate our marketing techniques and practices, require us to safeguard non-public information about our customers and regulate our servicing practices, including the assessment, collection, foreclosure, claims handling and investment and interest payments on escrow accounts. The Financial Instruments and Exchange Law ("FIEL") came into effect on September 30, 2007. FIEL expands the scope of regulated products and services and requires registration for, among other activities, investment advisory and investment management services. We are in the process of obtaining an investment management registration for one of our Japanese subsidiaries in compliance with FIEL.

Ireland and the European Union

          We have originated and funded substantially all of our commercial real estate loans in Europe through our subsidiary Capmark Bank Europe. Capmark Bank Europe is licensed and regulated by the Irish Financial Regulator in Ireland as an Irish bank and is permitted to conduct banking activities in most European jurisdictions under European Union "passporting" rules. These rules permit financial institutions that are regulated in one member state to conduct banking activities in another member state without obtaining a local license provided that certain notification procedures are followed. We have provided authorities in fourteen countries in Europe with appropriate passporting notifications and are permitted to engage in lending activities in those countries under our Irish banking license. We are also permitted to carry out lending activities in the United Kingdom.

          As a result of the curtailment of our European lending activity starting in late 2007, we are considering voluntarily giving up our Irish banking license. The termination of our Irish banking license would allow us to redeploy the capital currently held by Capmark Bank Europe and

166



eliminate Irish bank regulatory reporting obligations. Any termination would not affect our ownership of any assets or have any material impact on our current business operations.

          As an Irish bank, Capmark Bank Europe is required to comply with various laws, rules and regulations in Ireland, including administrative notices implementing European Union Directives relating to business activities carried out by credit institutions and supplementary requirements and standards that are from time to time established by financial regulators. These requirements, among other things, require us to ensure that Capmark Bank Europe maintains certain capital adequacy and liquidity ratios and to file regulatory returns with the Irish Financial Regulator evidencing compliance with those ratios on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis. We are also required to ensure that Capmark Bank Europe complies with the Irish Financial Regulator's interpretation of the Basel II accord, which sets forth the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for establishing international standards for measuring the capital adequacy of banks. The Basel II accord addresses, among other things, the manner in which capital adequacy requirements should be measured, enforced and disclosed.

          The following table summarizes Capmark Bank Europe's regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Large Exposure Limit   25% Maximum(3)   12.7   12.8   21.9  

Notes:

(1)
Capmark Bank Europe is required to maintain capital at a minimum of 15% of its risk weighted assets (as defined by the Irish Financial Regulator).

(2)
Capmark Bank Europe was required to hold a minimum of 25% of its debt (as defined by the Irish Financial Regulator) on its balance sheet in liquid instruments for periods prior to December 31, 2006. The Irish Financial Regulator has subsequently revised the liquidity ratio calculation. As of December 31, 2007, the new requirement is to ensure that there are sufficient cash inflows to meet 100% of cash outflows within an eight day period.

(3)
Capmark Bank Europe cannot lend more than 25% of its capital to any one counterparty.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we provided the Irish Financial Regulator with a letter of comfort with respect to Capmark Bank Europe replacing the letter of comfort provided by GMAC. Our comfort letter advised the Irish Financial Regulator that it is our policy to ensure, and that we will ensure, the ability of Capmark Bank Europe to meet all of its liabilities as they become due for so long as we continue to be the majority equity holder of Capmark Bank Europe.

Facilities

          Our principal headquarters are located in San Mateo, California. As of March 31, 2008, we maintained 55 offices. Below we have described our executive office and those offices with more than 20,000 square feet of rentable space being used by our employees as of March 31, 2008.

          In addition to the properties described above, as of March 31, 2008 we lease space for our branch offices throughout the United States and for our operations in Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China, India, the Philippines, Ireland and the United Kingdom. We believe that our facilities are adequate for us to conduct our present business activities.

          Except for our offices in Horsham, Pennsylvania, all of our office space is leased. The most significant terms of the lease arrangements for our office space are the length of the lease and the amount of the rent. Our leases have terms varying in duration and rent as a result of differences in prevailing market conditions in different geographic locations. We do not believe that any single office lease is material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, we believe there is adequate alternative office space available at acceptable rental rates to meet our needs, although adverse movements in rental rates in some markets may negatively affect our results of operations when we enter into new leases.

Intellectual Property

          We hold various service marks, trademarks and trade names including the "Capmark" name and we have developed proprietary technology to service our customers. In connection with the sale of all of the stock of EnableUs, Inc. in April 2007, we entered into an agreement under which EnableUs, Inc. will provide us hosted information technology services for our servicing operations.

168



The agreement has an initial term of three years with a right to renew for up to two additional years. Under the agreement, we also received an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, modify and support the current EnableUs servicing software for internal purposes. The EnableUs software is an important component of the information technology platform for our servicing operations. We also license other software products to support our businesses. Other than the servicing software that we license from EnableUs, Inc. and the "Capmark" service mark, we believe that our other intellectual property rights could be replaced with commercially available alternatives in the event of the termination, expiration or loss of such rights. However, any such loss could result in higher costs related to purchasing, licensing or deploying replacement intellectual property rights.

Employees

          As of March 31, 2008, we had more than 2,000 employees worldwide. None of our employees is represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Legal Proceedings

          We may be subject to potential liability under various legal actions that are pending or that may be asserted against us in our ordinary course of business. Our management believes that any liability that could be imposed on us in connection with the disposition of any pending lawsuits would not have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

          The Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Taiwan presented one of our Taiwan-based subsidiaries with a search warrant in June 2008, authorizing a search for documents relating to a 2005 transaction involving a purchase of non-performing loan and real estate assets from Bowa Bank, a Taiwanese bank. Bowa Bank was taken over by the Central Deposit Insurance Corporation in August 2007 as part of an insolvency proceeding. The Investigation Bureau is reviewing a number of transactions entered into by Bowa Bank prior to its insolvency. According to the search warrant, this case relates to an investigation of potential violation of the Banking Law and the Securities and Exchange Law. An officer of this Taiwan subsidiary was also questioned as a witness in connection with the investigation. No criminal or civil claims have been brought against us or any of our employees in connection with these matters. We are cooperating with the investigation.

Board Composition

          Our board of directors consists of sixteen directors, each of whom holds office until the earlier of our next annual meeting of stockholders when a successor is elected and duly qualified and the director's death, resignation or removal from office. Under the Stockholders Agreement we entered into with our Sponsor stockholder and GMAC in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, our Sponsor stockholder has the right to designate a specified number of directors (constituting a majority of our board of directors) and GMAC has the right to designate two persons to serve on our board of directors. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Stockholders Agreement."

          As a privately held company, we are not currently subject to any requirements regarding the independence of our board of directors. We have chosen, for the purposes of disclosure, to apply the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, we would be considered a "controlled company" because more than 50% of our voting power is held by a single person or group. Therefore, if we were a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, we would not be required by New York Stock Exchange rules to maintain a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, nor would we be required to maintain a compensation committee or a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors. In reliance on the exemptions from the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance requirements described above, we have not made any determinations regarding the independence of the majority of directors on our board of directors, but have made the independence determination with respect to Audit Committee member independence described below.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

          Our audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Fox, Grundhofer, Kendall and Olson. Mr. Fox serves as the Chairman of the committee. We believe that Messrs. Fox and Grundhofer meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

          The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, assisting our board of directors with its oversight of (1) the integrity of our financial statements; (2) the qualifications and independence of our independent accountants; (3) the performance of our disclosure controls and procedures, our internal audit function and our independent accountants; (4) our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of our financial statements and the adequacy of our internal accounting and financial control systems and reporting processes; and (5) our compliance with our ethics policies and certain legal and regulatory requirements.

Executive Committee

          We have established an Executive Committee of our board of directors that consists of Messrs. Aldinger, Dammerman, Fox, Katz, Kruger and Nuttall. Messrs. Dammerman and Aldinger serve as Co-Chairmen of the committee. The primary purpose of the Executive Committee is to act, when necessary, in place of our full board of directors during periods in which our board is not in session. The committee is authorized and empowered to carry out the management and affairs of our business as if it was the full board of directors, except that it is not authorized or empowered to take actions that have been specifically delegated to other board committees or to take actions with respect to (1) the declaration of dividends; (2) the issuance of debt securities or the borrowing of money in excess of limits that have been approved by the full board of directors; (3) amendments to our bylaws; (4) the appointment or removal of directors; (5) a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another company; (6) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of our assets; (7) a dissolution of our company; (8) any action that must be submitted to a vote of our stockholders; or (9) any action that may not be delegated to a board committee under Nevada law.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

          The compensation levels of our executive officers are determined by our Executive Development and Compensation Committee as described above. None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of the compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity of which an executive officer is a member of our Executive Development and Compensation Committee. Messrs. Dammerman and Hubbard purchased shares of our common stock and are each party to an Independent Director Stockholder's Agreement and Independent Director Sale Participation Agreement. Mr. Dammerman also holds options to purchase our common stock and is party to an Independent Director Stock Option Agreement. The terms of these agreements are described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements." In addition, each of Messrs. Kruger, Nuttall and Katz is an affiliate of one of our Sponsors. Our Sponsors and GMAC earn an annual management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses pursuant to a management agreement, as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Agreement."

Director Compensation

          We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain highly-qualified individuals to serve on our board. Our non-employee directors are paid an annual fee of $50,000 each for their board service, and non-employee directors who chair a board committee are paid a supplemental fee for each committee chaired. The supplemental fee is $50,000 per year in the case of the Audit Committee chairmanship ($25,000 per year in the year ended December 31, 2007) and $15,000 per year in the case of each of the other committee chairmanships. We have implemented a deferred compensation and stock award plan for our non-employee directors under which they may elect to defer receipt of any portion of their fees and to receive any portion of their fees in cash or in shares of our common stock. See "—Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan."

Notes:

(1)
Our non-employee directors may elect to receive fees in cash, deferred or hypothetical shares of our common stock or current shares of our common stock. Upon his election as Chairman, Mr. Dammerman elected to accept no fees for his service as one of our directors; however, options to purchase one million shares of our common stock were granted to Mr. Dammerman in connection with his retention as our Chairman in March 2006. If a non-employee director elects to receive hypothetical shares, they are held by our company in a separate account for the director. Each hypothetical share is valued to be equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock as determined by our board of directors. During the year ended December 31, 2007, our board of directors determined that the fair market values of each share of our common stock during certain periods of the year were as follows:

 
   
   
January 1 to March 19   $ 5.00    
March 20 to July 31   $ 5.39    
August 1 to October 23   $ 7.98    
October 24 to December 4   $ 7.43    
December 5 to December 31   $ 6.56    

          The hypothetical shares are paid out to each director upon his termination as a director or in the event of a change in control of our company; at that time, we may elect to pay to the director the fair market value of his hypothetical shares either in cash or current shares. The amounts shown in the table above reflect the aggregate dollar value of fees earned in fiscal year 2007 without regard to each individual director's election. The following table reflects the mix of 2007 fees each non-employee director elected to receive in cash, hypothetical shares and current shares or in

178



the absence of an election, cash which was accrued on behalf of such director. See "—Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan."

          We obtain director and officer liability insurance to insure our directors and officers against certain losses they may incur as a result of performing their duties on our behalf as directors and officers.

Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan

          Our Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, which we refer to as our "Directors' Deferred Award Plan," is designed for the benefit of individuals who are not employees of our company or our subsidiaries and who serve as members of our board. The Directors' Deferred Award Plan provides each participant with an opportunity to defer receipt of all or a portion of his earned amounts (including any annual retainer, which is generally payable in quarterly installments in cash or, upon the election of a participant, in hypothetical or actual shares of our common stock), or "Fees," for serving as a member of our board or any committee of our board. The Directors' Deferred Award Plan was adopted in 2006. The Executive Development and Compensation Committee of our board (or such other committee as our board may appoint) administers the Directors' Deferred Award Plan.

          Under the Directors' Deferred Award Plan, a participant may annually elect to irrevocably defer payment of all or a specified part of all Fees earned during the following year and in all succeeding years (until the participant ceases to be a non-employee director or elects to change such election). If a participant changes his election to defer Fees in order to receive Fees on a current basis, the Directors' Deferred Award Plan provides that he is not permitted to subsequently re-elect to defer payment of Fees for at least one calendar year.

          The Directors' Deferred Award Plan requires us to maintain separate accounts on our books and records for the Fees deferred by each participant. In such an account, we must credit a number of hypothetical shares of common stock equal to (x) the deferred Fees otherwise payable to the participant in the fiscal quarter as to which an election to receive share-related deferred compensation has been made, divided by (y) the fair market value of the shares of our common stock as determined by our board at the first meeting after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter. The Directors' Deferred Award Plan provides that we will also credit those accounts with respect to any dividends paid on the hypothetical shares of our common stock, as well as adjust the hypothetical shares of our common stock in the accounts as a result of any split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations or other corporate events in connection with the authorized or issued share capital of our company. If our board does not determine the fair market value of our shares of common stock at the first meeting after the end of the fiscal quarter, all Fees otherwise intended to be deferred and reflected in a hypothetical share account shall instead be credited to a hypothetical cash account for the benefit of each participant. If our board makes a determination of the fair market value of our shares of common stock at any subsequent meeting, the amount of Fees credited to the participant's hypothetical cash account shall be converted into a number of hypothetical shares of common stock equal to (x) the amount of Fees in the hypothetical cash account, divided by (y) our board's fair market value determination.

          Under the Directors' Deferred Award Plan, the amount in a participant's hypothetical account will be distributed beginning upon the earlier to occur of (1) the first day of the calendar year following any removal or separation from our board and (2) the date that a participant designates in his written request as the date of distribution. The Directors' Deferred Award Plan provides that the total amount credited to a hypothetical share account will be paid in shares of our common stock (equal to the number of hypothetical shares of our common stock that have accumulated, as noted above), unless we elect to pay the amount in cash, in which case the cash payment will be equal to (x) the number of shares of our common stock credited to the account, multiplied by (y) the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the cash payment date.

180


          The Directors' Deferred Award Plan also permits participants to annually elect to irrevocably receive current payment in our common stock of all or a specified part of all Fees earned during the following year and succeeding years (until the participant ceases to be a non-employee director or changes that election). The Directors' Deferred Award Plan further provides that if a participant elects to receive any of his Fees in shares of our common stock, then we will issue to the participant, or purchase in the open market on the behalf of the participant, our common stock equal to (x) the Fees otherwise payable to the participant in the applicable fiscal quarter as to which an election to receive shares of our common stock currently has been made, divided by (y) the fair market value of the shares of our common stock as determined by our board at the first meeting after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter. If our board does not determine the fair market value of our shares of common stock at the first meeting after the end of the fiscal quarter, all Fees otherwise intended to be paid in the form of common stock shall be paid in the form of cash within ten business days following that meeting.

          Our board may amend, suspend or terminate the Directors' Deferred Award Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time. However, no amendment, suspension, or termination will apply to the payment to any participant or beneficiary of a deceased participant of any amounts previously credited to such participant's accounts.

          In the event of a change in control of our company, all amounts contained in each participant's accounts under the Directors' Deferred Award Plan will be distributed (in a lump sum cash payment or in our common stock, as the participant must elect in writing) on the date of the change in control. If the participant elects to receive the payment in cash, the cash payment will be equal to (x) the number of shares of our common stock credited to the participant's account, multiplied by (y) the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of the change in control.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

          This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation philosophy, objectives and methodologies for achieving our objectives, including the determination of compensation for our executive officers, which group includes our named executive officers, in 2007. Although the general economic and market conditions, including conditions in the debt capital markets, challenged and resulted in certain adverse effects on our business in 2007, our overall compensation philosophy has remained substantially the same as it was in the previous year. See "—Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table" for a list of our named executive officers and additional information concerning their compensation for 2007 and 2006.

Overall Compensation Philosophy

          Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate top executive talent in each of our three lines of business while aligning the interests of such executives with the interests of our stockholders. To that end, compensation packages we provide include both cash and stock-based compensation that recognize and reward individual contributions as measured against our financial and operational goals. Our executive compensation packages are intended to reward achievement of both short- and long-term business goals. Our executive compensation packages include salary and annual bonuses, equity incentive compensation consisting of stock options and the right to purchase our common stock or, in certain cases, other specifically-tailored cash incentive programs.

181


Role of Executive Development and Compensation Committee

          The Executive Development and Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and overseeing our executive compensation program. In connection with its duties, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee periodically reviews and evaluates the relationship between our executive compensation program and our performance. The Executive Development and Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the following factors in making decisions regarding executive compensation:

    our compensation philosophy;

    our financial and operational performance relative to peers, such as several of those referenced in "Business—Competition" and industry standards;

    alignment of executive interests with stockholder interests;

    total compensation and the combination of compensation elements; and

    ability to attract, retain and motivate executives.

          The Executive Development and Compensation Committee also develops the individual and corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, to ensure consistency with our compensation philosophy, the interests of our stockholders and our business goals, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee, together with our Chief Executive Officer, reviews, determines and approves the compensation for our executive officers.

Role of Management

          Our management assists the Executive Development and Compensation Committee in making compensation determinations in various ways. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Aldinger, assesses the performance of the other executive officers, including the other named executive officers, and recommends their compensation to the Executive Development and Compensation Committee. In addition, Mr. Aldinger and Ms. Pickles, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, respectively, develop proposals regarding changes in compensation for review and approval by the Executive Development and Compensation Committee. They also assist the Executive Development and Compensation Committee by providing data which are helpful in the evaluation and implemention of compensation proposals and programs. Our Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer often attends Executive Development and Compensation Committee meetings to provide recommendations and insights regarding market practices, analyses and other considerations related to executive compensation.

          The Executive Development and Compensation Committee established a pool consisting of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock and options to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock that may be awarded to our employees other than our executive officers under our 2006 Equity Plan for Key Employees. From time to time, our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Executive Development and Compensation Committee regarding the award of our common stock and options to our employees and our executive officers. The Executive Development and Compensation Committee must approve any award of our common stock or options from the designated pool or to any executive officer. The purchase price of our common stock and the exercise price of our company's options awarded to our employees, including executive officers, are each equal to the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of the award as determined by our board of directors.

182


Role of Compensation Consultant and Other Advisors

          Neither our company nor the Executive Development and Compensation Committee has any contractual relationship with any compensation consultant. Periodically, however, our company, through our Human Resources department, engages professional compensation consultants to assist with specific requests regarding compensation. In particular, in 2007, we obtained advice relating to market-based compensation practices in our industry and relevant to our businesses. In addition, we from time to time seek advice from legal counsel regarding specific legal issues and current developments in laws and regulations relating to compensation matters.

2007 Executive Compensation Components

          During 2007, our compensation program included the following components:

    base salary;

    discretionary cash bonuses;

    our 2006 Equity Plan for Key Employees (see "—Equity Plan for Key Employees");

    the Executive Stock Program and Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan (see "—Executive Stock Programs");

    the 401(k) Plan; and

    perquisites and personal benefits.

          Collectively, the variety of the types of compensation we can provide to our executive officers gives us the tools and flexibility to reward and retain the talent and experience needed to be competitive in each of the three lines of business we conduct.

Base Salary

          Base salaries for our named executive officers depend on the level of responsibility of the position, experience of the executive, performance of the executive and our objectives. In addition, we evaluate salaries paid in the competitive marketplace for executive talent and compare base salaries for comparable positions at other companies.

          We monitor base salaries and make adjustments from time to time based upon the performance of our company, the executive and the lines of business for which the executive has responsibility. Both financial and non-financial performance measures are considered when determining whether any adjustment is warranted. If a named executive officer has responsibility for a particular business unit, the financial results of that unit are also considered. In addition, some of our named executive officers have employment agreements which specify the executive's base salary and certain other compensation. See "—Executive Compensation—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements."

Discretionary Cash Bonuses

          In the beginning of 2007, pursuant to our Discretionary Bonus Plan, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee established a preliminary discretionary cash bonus pool for all of our employees, including our executive officers, targeted as a percentage of our company's net income for 2007 and a targeted aggregate dollar amount. Shortly following the end of our 2007 fiscal year, Mr. Aldinger and Ms. Pickles presented their recommendations to the Executive Development and Compensation Committee with respect to the size of the bonus pool, following which the Executive Development and Compensation Committee determined the size of the final bonus pool.

183


          The discretionary cash bonuses paid to our executive officers, which group includes our named executive officers, and all other employees were paid out of the same bonus pool but administered separately. For our employees other than executive officers, each of our executive officers submitted to Mr. Aldinger and Ms. Pickles a request and recommendation regarding discretionary bonuses for employees within their respective business units. Mr. Aldinger reviewed and approved the final allocation of the discretionary bonus pool to each of our business units for distribution by their respective executives to eligible employees for 2007. In approving the final allocation, Mr. Aldinger took into account the following considerations: (1) the portion of our net income and return on equity attributable to each business unit, (2) cost-saving, performance-enhancing contributions attributable to business units not expected to generate revenue, (3) regulatory and risk-related factors, (4) comparative data and other information about the markets in which each business unit operates and (5) such other facts and circumstances as he determined to be relevant in his business judgment.

          For our executive officers, including our named executive officers, Mr. Aldinger recommended to the Executive Development and Compensation Committee individual discretionary cash bonuses for each executive officer other than himself. Mr. Aldinger neither requested nor received a cash bonus for his services as Chief Executive Officer in 2007. In making his recommendations, Mr. Aldinger considered individual and business unit performances, historical compensation data, market-based compensation practices and other financial variables with respect to each of our lines of business. However, there were no prescribed targets, thresholds or formulaic criteria guiding Mr. Aldinger's recommendations. Taking Mr. Aldinger's recommendations into account and separately evaluating the same factors considered by him, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee determined the amount of the discretionary cash bonus paid to each executive officer, including our named executive officers.

Equity Plan for Key Employees

          Our 2006 Equity Plan for Key Employees, which we refer to as our "2006 Equity Plan," was adopted by our stockholders on March 23, 2006. Our 2006 Equity Plan authorizes the grant of stock-based awards to our employees and non-employee directors. The purposes of our 2006 Equity Plan include:

    promoting our long-term interests and growth by attracting and retaining management and other personnel who have the training, experience and ability to make a substantial contribution to the success of our business;

    motivating members of our management by providing them with growth-related incentives to achieve our long-term goals; and

    further aligning the interests of participants with the interests of our stockholders by creating opportunities for increased stock and stock-based ownership in our company.

See "—Executive Compensation—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—2006 Equity Plan."

Executive Stock Programs

          Our board of directors authorized a program pursuant to our 2006 Equity Plan whereby our executive officers are permitted to apply bonus compensation payable in 2007 and 2008 to the purchase of our common stock. For each share of common stock purchased under this program, the executive purchasing such share will receive an option to purchase one share of our common stock.

          Our Executive Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, which we refer to as our "Deferred Award Plan," provides our employees with the opportunity to defer receipt of all or a

184



portion of their annual bonus or annual incentive compensation payable in 2008, subject to certain minimum and maximum thresholds. This Deferred Award Plan was adopted in 2006. The Executive Development and Compensation Committee of our board administers the Deferred Award Plan and has authorized participation by our executive officers. Pursuant to the Deferred Award Plan, each executive who elected on or before December 31, 2006 to participate in the Deferred Award Plan was permitted to irrevocably defer payment of all or a specified part of his or her compensation, subject to certain minimum and maximum thresholds, earned during 2007 and payable in 2008. See "—Executive Compensation—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Executive Stock Programs."

401(k) Plan

          Our U.S. employees, including the named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Capmark Financial Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan, or the "401(k) Plan." The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution, tax-qualified retirement savings plan. Eligible employees are able to contribute between 1% and 99% of their eligible compensation up to the limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Our company makes a 3% contribution up to the prescribed Internal Revenue Service limits to all eligible employees, which we make even if the employee does not contribute to the 401(k) Plan. Employees are immediately 100% vested in the employee's contribution as well as our contribution. In addition, after the employee's first year of service with our company, we will match the employee's contribution dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $3,000 in any one calendar year. This matching contribution vests equally in 20% increments over a period of five years commencing on the employee's hire date. In addition, our company may make a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) Plan for a calendar year to eligible employees. Profit sharing contributions, if any, vest equally in 20% increments over a period of five years commencing on the employee's hire date.

          Other than the 401(k) Plan, we do not operate any pension or retirement plan that receives contributions or provides any additional retirement benefits to our named executive officers.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits

          In 2007, we provided perquisites and other personal benefits intended to attract, motivate and retain our executive officers, including the named executive officers. Personal benefits and perquisites constituted only a small percentage of each named executive officer's total compensation except for certain items received by Mr. Lin, a U.S. citizen serving as an expatriate in Japan. See "—Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table." Examples of the perquisites and personal benefits we provided in 2007 include: relocation expenses, housing allowance and tax gross-up payments. We do not currently provide any other significant personal benefits or perquisites to any of our named executive officers that are not also provided to all of our employees except for those provided to Mr. Lin in connection with his status as an expatriate and certain other perquisites and personal benefits provided to Mr. Aldinger. The Executive Development and Compensation Committee, with input and recommendations from our Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, will review future proposals to provide perquisites and personal benefits, if any, for our executive officers.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

          We do not currently have a formal stock ownership requirement for our executive officers. However, each of our named executive officers owns shares of our common stock and options to purchase our common stock.

185


Severance and Change in Control Payments

          Termination without Cause.    Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the Capmark Financial Group Inc. Severance Pay Plan which generally grants to all of our full-time employees specified salary continuation benefits if they are terminated by our company without cause. Benefits payable under the plan to our salaried employees are generally equal to three weeks of annual salary for each year of employment with our company, with a maximum benefit of forty weeks of annual salary. Severance payments to our employees, including our executive officers, are contingent upon their signing of a release and waiver of claims against our Company. Certain of our executive officers also participate in a pooled incentive compensation plan that includes a deferred payment feature which was established as an incentive for continued employment. Contributions to the plan were discontinued in 2006 and the final payouts under the plan are scheduled to be made in the first quarter of 2009. If we were to terminate any of these executive officers due to a layoff prior to that final payout, amounts due in the future under this plan would be accelerated and paid in connection with the termination. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Aldinger will receive a partial vesting of stock options on a pro rata basis based on the number of months employed upon a termination without cause or his resignation for good reason or his death or disability. No other executive officers are entitled to receive a vesting of equity awards under these circumstances.

          We believe that the combination of limited severance payments based on the period of time an executive officer was employed by our company and an acceleration of previously deferred compensation provides a reasonable overall severance benefit. The severance pay plan is limited in scope and bases payment on the overall time the executive has been employed by our company and the general level of compensation earned during that time. Without acceleration of vesting of the payments due under the pooled incentive compensation plan, an executive would not be entitled to receive the compensation previously deferred if he were terminated without cause. Mr. Aldinger's eligibility for acceleration of vesting under certain circumstances is provided for in his employment agreement and arises out of the acknowledgement of his substantial equity stake in our company. In connection with his retention as our Chief Executive Officer, the vesting of his stock options was designed such that the stock options vest ratably over a period of three years. While the vesting schedule is generally designed so that a portion of the options vest on each anniversary of his initial hire date, we believe that it is appropriate to grant Mr. Aldinger pro rata vesting should he leave our company between anniversary dates, in order to reflect the original intention of the vesting schedule. This vesting schedule is the result of an arm's-length negotiation with Mr. Aldinger and we believe it was necessary to attract and retain the services of a chief executive officer of his caliber.

          Change in Control.    Executive officers are entitled to an acceleration of unvested stock options upon a change in control, partly dependent on the achievement of performance criteria by the Sponsor stockholder. See "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

          The acceleration of vesting of equity awards on a change in control helps ensure that, if a potential change in control arises, the members of senior management can act in the best interests of all the stockholders without the distraction that would result from any concern regarding the effects a change of control could have on their personal situations. Given that all named executive officers purchased a significant amount of the Company's stock in connection with and since the Sponsor Transactions and, that such purchases of common stock were accompanied by matching grants of stock options, each named executive officer has an interest in protecting the value of his stock options, which value may be significantly impacted by policies of an acquiring entity following a change in control. Automatic vesting of all or a portion of stock options on the occurrence of a change of control mitigates the risks to the Company's senior executives associated with a change in control, and aligns stockholder interests with those of the executives whose stock options will have greater value in a transaction that creates more value to the stockholders. Further, we believe

186



such an arrangement is consistent with market practice and necessary for us to be competitive in attracting and retaining talent in our industry.

Relationship Among Compensation Components

          In reviewing compensation, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee examines each component of compensation within the context of each executive's overall compensation package, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, the human resources department and/or compensation consultants. There is no formulaic relationship between the components of compensation. Rather, consistent with our compensation philosophy to provide packages designed to attract, retain and motivate exceptional performance by our executives, the relationship of the compensation components to each other is intended to be complementary elements of the overall compensation package awarded to the executive.

          For our executive officers, including our named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Development and Compensation Committee balances the award of cash compensation between a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus so that a significant portion of the cash compensation is contingent upon our results of operations and therefore "at risk" for the executive officers. The factors considered by our Chief Executive Officer in his recommendations to the Executive Development and Compensation Committee are detailed below under "—Discretionary Cash Bonuses." Mr. Aldinger, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, neither requested nor received a cash bonus in 2007.

          As a means of aligning the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders, we believe that executive officers should have a significant and continuing equity interest in our company. As a result, we encourage our executives to purchase common stock and we grant options to purchase additional shares of common stock in connection with their purchases of common stock. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the grant date. Options to purchase common stock will normally not be exercised by the holder if the stock price does not increase after the grant date. Additionally, the stock options have both performance- and time-based vesting schedules, incentivizing executives to both meet the performance criteria and remain at our company in order to meet the vesting requirements. As a result, stock option awards are designed to both encourage stock ownership and to reward executives for increases in the value of our company.

          Decisions regarding personal benefits and perquisites do not influence decisions regarding other compensation elements. We believe that the perquisites and other personal benefits available to our executive officers are customary offerings for persons in key executive positions in our industry and, as such, are necessary to remain competitive with other opportunities. Additionally, the severance benefits available to our executive officers are generally tied to their period of employment with our company and previously deferred compensation, and are not related to other components of compensation. Finally, benefits in connection with a change of control consist entirely of an acceleration of unvested stock options, partly dependent on the achievement of performance criteria by the Sponsor stockholder. This decision regarding treatment of equity awards is unrelated to the other elements of compensation described above.

187

Notes:

(1)
We did not award any grants of our common stock to any of our named executive officers in the year ended December 31, 2007. However, each named executive officer was given the opportunity to enter into a management stockholder's agreement to purchase shares of our common stock for a per share price equal to the then-current fair value price as determined by our board of directors. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions." As

189


    of December 31, 2007, our named executive officers had purchased and held the following number of shares of our common stock:

 
  Number of Shares
William F. Aldinger III   3,000,000
Gregory J. McManus   440,000
James R. Baio  
Brian R. DiDonato   700,000
D. Steven Lin   660,000
Barry S. Gersten   700,000
(2)
In each case, the exercise or base price is equal to the fair value of the underlying security on the date of the grant as determined by our board of directors.

(3)
The amounts shown in this column represent the fair value of the awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

(4)
In connection with Mr. Baio's termination of employment in October 2007, shares of our common stock previously purchased by Mr. Baio and vested stock options held by Mr. Baio were repurchased by us as permitted under his management stockholder's agreement. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions."

(5)
Certain of our employees, including Mr. DiDonato, were granted limited partnership interests under our carried interest program. Although implemented in 2006, no amount was earned or allocated under the carried interest program as of December 31, 2007. Neither the partnership interests nor any earnings or allocations under the carried interest program are treated as compensation. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions" for additional information about the carried interest program.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Option Grants, Exercises and Holdings

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we adopted our 2006 Equity Plan under which we have granted stock options. As of March 31, 2008, there were approximately 293 employees and directors, including executive officers, participating in our 2006 Equity Plan. The options granted under our 2006 Equity Plan include a combination of time-based options and performance-based options.

          An aggregate of 42,752,965 shares of our common stock underlie the options that we had granted and that remained outstanding as of March 31, 2008, of which approximately 19,835,531 shares of our common stock underlie the outstanding options that were granted to our executive officers as a group. All of these options are subject to the terms of our 2006 Equity Plan, a stock option agreement entered into with the relevant holder, a management stockholder's agreement and a sale participation agreement. The management stockholder's agreements, the stock option agreements and the sale participation agreements that we have entered into with the recipients of the awards are described under "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements."

          The time-based options generally vest and become exercisable ratably on each of the first five anniversaries of the option grant date except as otherwise determined by our board of directors. The performance-based options vest and become exercisable ratably at the end of each of the first five fiscal years occurring after the option grant date, except as otherwise determined by our board of directors, only if we achieve certain return on equity performance targets. If a performance target is missed in any one year, but in a subsequent year the cumulative actual performance for prior years equals or exceeds the annual performance targets for those years, all performance-based options that did not vest will vest and become exercisable, as if all prior annual targets had been met. In addition, subject to certain limitations, the time-based and performance-based options are subject to accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of a change in control. The options generally

190



expire upon the earlier of ten years from the date of issuance and a specified date following the termination of the holder's employment.

2006 Equity Plan

          As discussed under "—Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our 2006 Equity Plan authorizes the grant of stock-based awards to our employees and non-employee directors. Our Executive Development and Compensation Committee is responsible for administering our 2006 Equity Plan. In that capacity, that committee is authorized to designate the individuals who may participate in the plan and determine the types, number, terms and conditions of awards granted under the plan, including the timing and the manner in which grants may be made. In addition, that committee is authorized to interpret the plan, establish rules and procedures for administering the plan and make all decisions and determinations that may be required to be made under the plan. Awards permitted under the plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards as described below. Each award is governed by the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the plan and a grant agreement between our company and the recipient of the award.

          We have reserved a total of 77,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under our 2006 Equity Plan. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the plan is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, spin-off, stock dividend, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger, changes in control or other events affecting our capital stock. In addition, in those circumstances, our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may make adjustments to outstanding grants, including with respect to the exercise price of the relevant grants, as it deems necessary in light of equitable considerations. Shares of common stock that are covered by awards under the plan that are forfeited, terminated or canceled or that expire unexercised may be the subject of a new grant under the plan following the forfeiture, termination, cancellation or expiration of the previously granted award. As of March 31, 2008, 68,614,217 shares of our common stock were subject to awards granted under the plan, comprised of 25,861,252 shares of our common stock purchased by our employees and directors and 42,752,965 outstanding options, and 8,385,783 shares of our common stock remained available for future grants as of March 31, 2008.

          Our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may grant options under our 2006 Equity Plan to purchase shares of our common stock on terms that the committee may determine. The terms of a stock option grant will include the length of the period during which the options may be exercised (which may not exceed ten years from the date of the grant), the price at which the option may be exercised, applicable vesting requirements and other terms, conditions and restrictions as our Executive Development and Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Subject to applicable legal requirements, the terms of the plan permit holders of options to pay the exercise price for an option with cash or, in some cases with the approval of our Executive Development and Compensation Committee, in exchange for the surrender of outstanding shares of common stock, through a "cashless exercise" or using a combination of the foregoing payment methods.

          Our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may grant stock appreciation rights under our 2006 Equity Plan on terms that the committee may determine. A grant of stock appreciation rights may be made independently or in connection with a grant of stock options. Each stock appreciation right will entitle its holder to receive an amount, with respect to each share of common stock subject to the right, equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price that is applicable to the right. The per share exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant or, in the case of a stock appreciation right that is granted

191



in tandem with a stock option, the exercise price of the related option. To the extent that a stock appreciation right is granted concurrently with a stock option, the exercise of the stock appreciation right will proportionately reduce the amount of common stock issuable upon exercise of the concurrently granted option. We may make payments in respect of exercised stock appreciation rights with shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of the foregoing, as determined by our Executive Development and Compensation Committee. As of March 31, 2008, we have not issued any stock appreciation rights.

          In addition, under our 2006 Equity Plan, our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may grant or sell awards of shares of our common stock, awards of restricted stock units or other awards that are valued in whole or in part based on the fair market value of our common stock. Grants of these stock-based awards may be made in a form, and subject to such conditions, as our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may determine and may include grants of awards that entitle their holders to receive amounts based on the completion of a period of service to our company, the occurrence of designated events or our attainment of specified performance objectives. We may make payments in respect of these additional awards with shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of the foregoing, as determined by our Executive Development and Compensation Committee.

          Our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may provide that a stock option or a stock appreciation right may not be exercised or settled after the occurrence of a combination, merger or consolidation of our company with or into another entity, an exchange of all or substantially all of our assets for the securities of another entity, an acquisition by another person of more than 80% of our voting stock or a reclassification, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger or other event affecting our capital stock. In those circumstances, all unvested awards will vest and we will be required to provide holders of the affected awards a reasonable opportunity to exercise and settle their awards prior to the occurrence of the event. Subject to applicable limitations, any awards that are not exercised and settled will be terminated. In addition, our Executive Development and Compensation Committee may provide that outstanding awards may be exercised after any of the foregoing events, or cancelled in exchange for new awards that are exercisable after any of the foregoing events, only for securities or property (or the cash equivalent of securities or property) received by holders of our common stock in connection with the event. The committee may also permit holders of outstanding awards to cancel their awards and enter into new grants on such terms and conditions as the committee deems appropriate.

          Our 2006 Equity Plan is scheduled to expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of its adoption. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our 2006 Equity Plan at any time, provided that, except as described above, no action may be taken without the consent of the holders of a majority of our common stock that would (1) increase the number of shares of our common stock that are available under the plan; (2) decrease the exercise price of any outstanding awards; (3) change the requirements of the plan that are subject to determinations by our Executive Development and Compensation Committee; (4) extend the term of the plan; or (5) materially impair the rights of participants under any outstanding awards. In addition, unless otherwise provided by the plan or the terms of an award, the committee may not amend the terms of any outstanding award in a manner that is materially adverse to the holder of the award without the holder's consent.

Executive Stock Programs

          As discussed under "—Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Stock Programs," our executive officers, including our named executive officers, were permitted to apply bonus compensation paid in 2007, and will be permitted to apply bonus

192



compensation payable in 2008, to the purchase of shares of common stock and to receive an option to purchase one share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased. The amount that can be invested is subject to minimum and maximum thresholds. Each share of common stock will be sold by our company to the senior management employee at fair market value on the date of purchase. The option granted to that employee to purchase one share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased will have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and will be granted to the applicable employee pursuant to a stock option agreement with our company. The options and all shares of common stock purchased under the program (including those acquired by senior management employees through the exercise of the options), will be held subject to a management stockholder's agreement and stock option agreement, each with our company, and a sale participation agreement with our Sponsor stockholder. For a description of these agreements, see "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements."

          The Deferred Award Plan requires us to maintain separate accounts on our books and records for the compensation deferred by each participant. In such an account, we must credit, following payment, a number of hypothetical shares of common stock equal to (x) the deferred compensation otherwise payable to the participant in respect of the year as to which an election to receive share-related deferred compensation has been made, divided by (y) the then most recently determined fair market value of a share. The Deferred Award Plan provides that we will also credit those accounts with respect to any dividends paid on the hypothetical shares of our common stock, as well as adjust the hypothetical shares of our common stock in the accounts as a result of any split-ups, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, or other corporate events in connection with authorized or issued share capital of our company.

          Under the Deferred Award Plan, the amounts in a participant's account will be distributed no later than the tenth business day following the date the participant designates in his or her written request, but in no event later than the first day of the first January following the participant's separation from service with our company.

          The Deferred Award Plan provides that the total amounts credited to an account will be paid in shares of our common stock (equal to the number of hypothetical shares of our common stock that have accumulated, as noted above), unless we elect to pay the amounts in cash, in which case the cash payment will be equal to (w) the number of shares of our common stock credited to the account, multiplied by (x) the most recently determined fair market value of a share of our common stock. However, any such cash payment made as a result of the participant's separation from service will be equal to (y) the number of shares of our common stock credited to the account, multiplied by (z) the applicable repurchase price otherwise payable for shares of our common stock held by the participant, depending upon the circumstances under which the separation from service occurs as provided in the management stockholder's agreement.

Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan

          Our Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan, which we refer to as our "DER Plan," became effective as of October 25, 2006 and is designed for the benefit of our active employees who are eligible to receive stock options under our 2006 Equity Plan. The DER Plan provides dividend equivalent rights to employees of our company and our subsidiaries and affiliates.

          The DER Plan provides that if we declare and pay an ordinary dividend on issued and outstanding shares of our common stock in the form of cash or other property (other than shares of common stock), then the DER Plan participant's notional account, which we refer to as the participant's "Dividend Equivalent Account," will be credited in an amount equal to the value of the

193



dividend in respect of one share of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date of the dividend, multiplied by the number of the participant's then outstanding and vested, unexercised options under our 2006 Equity Plan on the record date for such dividend.

          If we declare and pay an extraordinary dividend on issued and outstanding shares of our common stock in the form of cash or shares of common stock, we, after consulting the appropriate legal counsel, tax accountants and senior management to determine if a credit would violate applicable tax laws or otherwise give rise to adverse accounting consequences to us, will, in our reasonable judgment, credit to a participant's Dividend Equivalent Account an amount equal to the value of the extraordinary dividend in respect of one share of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date of the dividend, multiplied by the number of a participant's then outstanding but unexercised options under our 2006 Equity Plan (whether vested or unvested) on the record date for such dividend.

          Generally, the DER Plan provides that a participant will vest in his or her Dividend Equivalent Account (including any interest accrued thereon) to the same extent and at the same time as the participant exercises his or her vested options under our 2006 Equity Plan or such options are purchased by us in connection with participant's termination of employment with our company. Unvested portions of the participant's Dividend Equivalent Accounts that relate to vested options are forfeited by the participant on the date that such vested options otherwise expire under our 2006 Equity Plan. Additionally, a participant will vest in a portion of his or her Dividend Equivalent Account upon his or her death or disability or in the event of a change in control of our company.

          Generally, under the DER Plan, distribution of the vested amounts in a participant's Dividend Equivalent Account will be distributed in a lump sum cash payment on the fifteenth business day after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the DER Plan, unless the distribution is accelerated because of a participant's separation of service from us (other than for cause by our company or not for good reason by the participant). The DER Plan is to be unfunded, and distributions will be paid from our general assets.

          The Executive Development and Compensation Committee may amend or terminate the DER Plan, in whole or in part, from time to time. However, no amendment or termination may materially adversely affect the rights of any DER Plan participant or DER Plan participant's beneficiary in that person's account, except to preserve all applicable laws and/or favorable accounting treatment by our company of the benefits provided under the DER Plan.

Employment Agreements

          We have a written employment agreement with Mr. Aldinger and a letter of understanding with Mr. Lin with respect to his overseas assignment as an expatriate based in Japan. We also had an employment agreement with our former Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Baio. The agreements described below are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

          Agreement with Chief Executive Officer.    We entered into an employment agreement with William F. Aldinger III, our Chief Executive Officer, in June 2006. In addition to ascribing customary duties, responsibilities and authorities to Mr. Aldinger, the employment agreement states that his annual starting base salary will be $1,500,000, less applicable taxes. We neither expect nor intend for Mr. Aldinger to receive any annual cash bonus. Mr. Aldinger agreed to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share and he received options to purchase 12,000,000 shares of company common stock at the same per share price. We entered into a management stockholder's agreement and stock option agreement covering the terms and conditions of Mr. Aldinger's equity purchase and corresponding option grants. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions."

194


          We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Aldinger for certain expenses. These reimbursements included up to $50,000 for reasonable legal and professional fees incurred by Mr. Aldinger in connection with the negotiation and documentation of his employment agreement with us. We subsequently agreed to cover 100% of Mr. Aldinger's legal fees attributable to consummating his employment agreement, which totaled approximately $81,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

          Mr. Aldinger owns an airplane that we use for our business purposes. Mr. Aldinger purchased his aircraft prior to becoming our Chief Executive Officer and he bears all operating, personnel and maintenance costs associated with its operation. We agreed to reimburse Mr. Aldinger at a rate of $4,500 per flight hour for the use of his personal aircraft for company business, including his commutes between our offices in Horsham, Pennsylvania and his personal residences near either Chicago, Illinois or San Francisco, California. We believe this rate is less than we would have had to pay an unrelated aircraft leasing business for similar flights on a similar aircraft. We reimbursed Mr. Aldinger approximately $0.8 million for our use of his aircraft during each of the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from June 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

          Letter of Understanding with Executive Vice President, Asian Operations.    We entered into a letter of understanding with D. Steven Lin, our Executive Vice President, Asian Operations, in January 2007 in connection with a three-year extension of his international assignment as an expatriate based in Japan. The letter of understanding anticipates that Mr. Lin's current assignment in Japan will continue until November 20, 2009 with an annual base salary of $500,000. However, the letter of understanding does not guarantee continued employment or compensation for Mr. Lin. Other provisions described in the letter of understanding include: administrative arrangements regarding payroll, customary benefits, housing allowance, home leave and tax matters.

          Agreement with Former Chief Financial Officer.    We entered into an employment agreement with James R. Baio, our former Chief Financial Officer, in September 2006. In addition to describing his professional responsibilities to our company, the employment agreement stated that Mr. Baio's starting annual base salary was $600,000 and provided for payment of a signing bonus, less applicable taxes, plus a non-binding discretionary bonus target for calendar year 2007 equal to $1.2 million. Mr. Baio also received the opportunity to purchase up to $2 million of our common stock at $5.00 per share, with an agreement that he would receive options covering triple the number of shares of our common stock that he purchased. As called for under his employment agreement, we entered into a management stockholder's agreement and stock option agreement covering the terms and conditions of Mr. Baio's equity purchase and corresponding option grants. See "Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions." All of these agreements were terminated in October 2007 in connection with Mr. Baio's termination of employment. Upon his resignation, Mr. Baio received certain payments and signed a general release of claims he had or may have had against us. See "—Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" for a discussion of payments made by us to Mr. Baio that were related to his resignation.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

          Mr. Aldinger.    In connection with his employment agreement with us and his purchase of three million shares of the common stock of our company, Mr. Aldinger received options to purchase twelve million shares of the common stock of our company at a price of $5.00 per share, which we refer to as our "base option grant." The base option grant will vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of June 1, 2006, the date on which we hired Mr. Aldinger, subject to his continued employment with our company. The base option grant will vest and become exercisable immediately prior to a change in control of our company. If Mr. Aldinger is terminated by us without cause, by Mr. Aldinger for good reason or due to Mr. Aldinger's death or disability, then a pro rata portion of the base option grant (on a monthly basis) that would have vested on the next succeeding anniversary of his initial hire date after the date of his termination shall vest and become exercisable. In the event that Mr. Aldinger is terminated by us for cause, then all vested and unvested options held by him will be forfeited immediately upon termination. The above is a summary of certain provisions of Mr. Aldinger's employment agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

          Mr. Baio.    In his employment contract, we had agreed to make a payment to Mr. Baio in the event of the termination of his employment within the first twenty four months of his employment by our company, depending upon the circumstances of the termination. In the event of Mr. Baio's termination within the first twelve months of employment, other than for cause by our company or for good reason by Mr. Baio (as defined in our 2006 Equity Plan), Mr. Baio was entitled to a severance payment of $600,000 less applicable taxes in exchange for a release of all employment claims. If Mr. Baio's employment was terminated for a reason other than for cause by our company or for good reason by Mr. Baio during the second twelve-month period of employment, he would be entitled to a severance payment of $300,000 less applicable taxes in exchange for a release of all employment claims. If Mr. Baio's employment had been terminated by us at any time with cause, or if he had voluntarily resigned, we would have been required to pay Mr. Baio his base salary through the date of separation but he would not have been entitled to any other severance payment from us.

          In connection with Mr. Baio's termination of employment in October 2007, we paid to Mr. Baio a cash severance amount of $1,400,000. We also repurchased all of Mr. Baio's shares of our common stock that he had purchased under our 2006 Equity Plan for a cash amount equal to $7.43 per share as well as all of his vested stock options for a cash amount equal to $2.43 per stock option. Mr. Baio signed a general release of claims that he had or may have had against us. The above is a summary of certain provisions of Mr. Baio's employment agreement and separation and release agreement, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

          Other Named Executive Officers.    If any of our other named executive officers are terminated from our company for any reason, all of their unvested options would be forfeited. Notwithstanding the above, if there is a change in control of our company, all unvested, time-based options to purchase company stock that are held by our equity-holders, including our other named executive officers, will become fully vested and immediately exercisable. All of their unvested, performance-based options will vest if either of the following occur: (1) the annual performance targets have been achieved for all completed fiscal years prior to the change of control and the Sponsor stockholder either (a) achieves a 20% internal rate of return or (b) earns at least $12.50 per share on our common stock or (2) if, as a result of a change in control, our Sponsor stockholder both (a) achieves an internal rate of return on our common stock of at least 20% and (b) earns at least $12.50 per share on our common stock. See "—Executive Compensation—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Option Grants, Exercises and Holdings; Employment Agreements."

          Mr. DiDonato resigned from our company effective on March 31, 2008. Subsequent to his separation of employment with our company, we repurchased Mr. DiDonato's (or his trust's) common stock of our company at book value, as provided for in his Management Stockholder's Agreement, and certain of Mr. DiDonato's interests in various incentive vehicles. In consideration for these payments, Mr. DiDonato agreed to a release and waiver of claims against our company and agreements regarding non-disparagement of our company, non-solicitation of employees of our company and non-disclosure of confidential information relating to our company.

          Potential Amounts Payable.    The following chart reflects the amounts and benefits to which our named executive officers (other than Mr. Baio) would be entitled if we terminated them on December 31, 2007 without cause and in the case of Mr. Aldinger, if we had terminated his employment for good reason or on death or disability, or if we experienced a change in control on that date. See "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Severance and Change in Control Payments" for more information about these arrangements. The amounts actually paid to Mr. Baio are described above as he was terminated prior to December 31, 2007.

The value of the acceleration of vesting of stock options is based on a fair market value estimate of the common stock of our company of $6.56 per share as of December 31, 2007, as determined by our board of directors. In accordance with our 2006 Equity Plan, the conditions for the acceleration of performance-based stock options would not have been satisfied at a fair market value estimate of $6.56 per share as of December 31, 2007. Therefore, the amounts in this column reflect only the value of the acceleration of time-based stock options. See "—Other Named Executive Officers" above.

(2)
All of Mr. Aldinger's stock options have time-based vesting schedules. The value of the acceleration of the vesting of his options is based on a fair market value estimate of the common stock of our company of $6.56 per share as of December 31, 2007, as determined by our board of directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Stock Purchase Agreement

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we, our Sponsor stockholder and GMAC entered into a stock purchase agreement, which we refer to as the "stock purchase agreement." The stock purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by GMAC and our Sponsor stockholder, as well as covenants by our company. The stock purchase agreement provides for indemnification for losses related to specified events, circumstances and matters. GMAC has agreed to indemnify us and our subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents and our Sponsors and their respective affiliates, equityholders, officers, directors, employees and agents from certain liabilities, including losses arising from the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of GMAC contained in the stock purchase agreement, any losses arising from tax liabilities and other specified liabilities for periods prior to the closing, any losses arising out of the entering into or amendment of existing related party arrangements, certain losses arising out of specified legal proceedings. Some of these indemnities are subject to minimum thresholds and caps specified in the stock purchase agreement.

          Our Sponsor stockholder is required to indemnify GMAC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents for losses arising from any breach of representation or warranty of our Sponsor stockholder contained in the stock purchase agreement. Our Sponsor stockholder and our company are required to indemnify GMAC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents for losses arising from any breach of any covenant of our Sponsor stockholder or our company, as the case may be, requiring performance after the closing date of the Sponsor Transactions. We must also indemnify GMAC and its affiliates for losses suffered by them in their capacity as stockholders of our company to the extent those losses arise out of the operation of our company after the closing date of the Sponsor Transactions only to the extent GMAC is not indemnifying our company and only to the extent our Sponsor stockholder is indemnified in its capacity as a stockholder of our company. Some of our Sponsor stockholder's indemnification obligations are also subject to minimum thresholds and caps.

          Our Sponsor stockholder agreed in the stock purchase agreement that, until two years after the Sponsor Transactions, subject to certain exceptions, it will not and it will cause our company and its subsidiaries not to engage or participate in, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, any business engaged in, the financing of motor vehicle dealers licensed or franchised by General Motors Corporation and the motor vehicle dealership activities of such dealers' affiliates.

          GMAC agreed in the stock purchase agreement that, until two years after the Sponsor Transactions, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, and it will cause its subsidiaries not to, engage or participate in, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, any business whose primary source of revenue is mortgage lending, mortgage servicing, mortgage loan syndication or mortgage securitization, in each case, relating to commercial real estate, except for businesses currently conducted, on a scale not materially greater than as currently conducted, and certain other specified businesses.

Management Agreement

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we entered into a management agreement with GMAC and our Sponsors, under which GMAC and our Sponsors or their affiliates have agreed to provide us management and advisory services. Under the management agreement, affiliates of our Sponsors and GMAC are entitled to receive an annual management fee and reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that they or their affiliates incur in connection with services provided under the agreement. The aggregate annual

199



management fee is equal to $20 million during the first twelve months of the agreement and thereafter increases at a rate of 5% annually. The management agreement specifically provides that investment banking and other financial advisory services provided in connection with specific acquisition, divesture, refinancing or recapitalization transactions relating to our company are not covered by the agreement and that any of those services will be performed and invoiced separately. The management agreement may be terminated by any of the affiliates of our Sponsors or GMAC with respect to their obligation to provide services to us at any time after the consummation or announcement of a public offering or any transaction which results in any person (other than the Sponsors, GMAC, or any of their respective affiliates) becoming the owner of 50% or more of the voting securities of our company or all or substantially all of our assets. The management agreement includes customary exculpation and indemnification provisions in favor of our Sponsors, GMAC and their affiliates.

Transaction Fees

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we paid an aggregate of $66.2 million of transaction-related fees to affiliates of our Sponsor stockholder.

Issuance of Junior Subordinated Debentures and Sale of Trust Preferred Securities to GMAC

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we issued approximately $250 million in aggregate principal amount of our junior subordinated debentures to Capmark Trust, a Delaware statutory trust that we sponsored. Certain of our officers act as the regular trustees of the trust. At the time of our issuance of the junior subordinated debentures, we and the trust entered into a purchase agreement with GMAC under which GMAC purchased $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by the trust in exchange for the reduction of an equivalent amount of indebtedness that we owed GMAC at the time. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of amounts due under the trust preferred securities on a subordinated basis to the extent the trust has funds available for payment of those amounts. GMAC may also enforce certain provisions of the indenture governing the junior subordinated debentures as a third-party beneficiary, including the right to declare an event of default upon a failure by us to pay principal or interest when due on the junior subordinated debentures. See "Description of Other Indebtedness." In connection with the sale of the trust preferred securities, we and the trust entered into a registration rights agreement with GMAC under which we granted GMAC a right to require us to make available a shelf registration statement permitting sales of the trust preferred securities or the junior subordinated debentures, as applicable, under certain circumstances. The registration rights agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of GMAC.

Financing Previously Provided by GMAC; Repayment of Amounts

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we used borrowings drawn under our senior credit facility and our bridge loan and the trust preferred securities referred to above to repay an aggregate of approximately $7.1 billion of indebtedness owed to GMAC, representing all indebtedness owed by us as of that date. We had previously incurred the indebtedness owed to GMAC under a number of inter-company loan agreements during a twelve-year period when we were an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of GMAC.

Termination of Guarantees Provided by GMAC; Indemnification

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, we obtained from GMAC guarantees with respect to obligations that we incurred in connection with some of our securitization transactions, unsecured corporate borrowings, our sponsorship of LIHTC funds and an NMTC fund, the operations of

200



Capmark Bank Europe, our military housing lending activities and our lending activities under programs with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we sought to discharge our obligations that were subject to these guarantees or to negotiate the removal of GMAC as a guarantor of our obligations. We successfully discharged our obligations under a number of arrangements that were guaranteed by GMAC and were able to have GMAC removed as a guarantor of a number of our other obligations. We have agreed with GMAC to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause any remaining guarantees issued by GMAC prior to the Sponsor Transactions to be terminated and to reimburse and indemnify GMAC for any liabilities incurred with respect to those guarantees. As of March 31, 2008, GMAC had guaranteed obligations in an aggregate amount equal to $204.8 million.

General Motors Dealership Loan Servicing

          We service General Motors franchised car dealership loans on behalf of GMAC. These loans had an outstanding principal balance of $3.2 billion as of March 31, 2008. As a servicer of General Motors franchised dealership loans for GMAC, we were paid $2.5 million, $2.5 million and $3.1 million in servicing fees during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Stockholders Agreement

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we entered into a stockholders agreement with our Sponsor stockholder and GMAC. The stockholders agreement contains certain agreements with respect to the ownership, voting, registration and transfer of the common stock held by the stockholders party thereto as described below.

Board of Directors

          The stockholders agreement provides that each of GMAC and our Sponsor stockholder is entitled to designate a certain number of directors to our board of directors, depending upon its percentage ownership of our common stock. If GMAC owns at least 20% of our common stock, it is entitled to designate two directors and if it owns at least 5% and less than 20% of our common stock, it is entitled to designate one director. GMAC is not entitled to designate any directors if it holds less than 5% of our common stock. If our Sponsor stockholder owns (together with its affiliates):

    at least 40% of our common stock, it is entitled to designate nine directors;

    at least 20% and less than 40% of our common stock, it is entitled to designate six directors;

    at least 10% and less than 20% of our common stock, it is entitled to designate three directors;

    at least 5% and less than 10% of our common stock it is entitled to designate one director; and

    less than 5% of our common stock, it is not entitled to designate any directors.

          The stockholders agreement permits each party to assign its right to designate directors to any person who acquires more than 50% of the shares of our common stock that were held by the party immediately after the completion of the Sponsor Transactions. We refer to those persons as "permitted assignees." Our Sponsor stockholder, however, has the right to consent to any director nominee that is designated by a permitted assignee of GMAC. The agreement also provides that each party will be required to vote its common stock consistent with the board designation

201


provisions described above, including in connection with any proposal by a party to remove a director designated by the party or upon the filling of any vacancy on our board of directors.

Board Committees

          The stockholders agreement provides that we must establish and maintain an audit committee, an executive compensation committee and a nominating committee. The agreement provides that each of these committees must have at least two members designated by our Sponsor stockholder and at least one member designated by GMAC.

Voting Requirements

          The stockholders agreement provides that, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, which must include the consent of GMAC or, if applicable, its permitted assignee, we may not:

    make any change to our articles of incorporation or bylaws or the organizational documents of any of our significant subsidiaries if the change could have an adverse effect on GMAC;

    decrease the number of directors that GMAC or, if applicable, its permitted assignee may designate to serve as directors of our company;

    declare or pay a dividend, except on a pro rata basis to all holders of our common stock;

    repurchase, exchange or redeem any of our common stock or permit our subsidiaries to repurchase, exchange or redeem any of our common stock other than (1) in connection with satisfying any of our obligations under an employee benefit plan or employment agreement, (2) under the terms of the instrument governing the common stock or (3) on a pro rata basis among the holders of our common stock; or

    enter into any transaction or permit our subsidiaries to enter into any transaction with any of our Sponsors or their affiliates that benefits two of our Sponsors (or affiliates of two of our Sponsors) or the Sponsor or Sponsors (or such Sponsor's or Sponsors' affiliates) who control the election of the managers of our Sponsor stockholder.

          In addition, the agreement provides GMAC with certain additional voting rights during any period in which GMAC has loaned us $250 million or more or have guaranteed $250 million or more of our obligations. See "—Termination of Guarantees Provided by GMAC; Indemnification."

          The stockholders agreement contains additional customary provisions for an agreement of its kind with respect to limitations on transfer of our common stock, "tag along" rights, "drag along" rights, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, registration rights and indemnification obligations relating to those registration rights.

Management Stockholder's Agreements; Stock Option Agreements; Sale Participation Agreements

          In connection with and since the completion of the Sponsor Transactions, certain of our employees and directors purchased shares of our common stock for cash. We have also granted to some of our employees and one of our directors options to purchase additional shares of our common stock. Each employee who has been issued common stock or stock options, referred to below as a "management stockholder," was required to enter into a management stockholder's agreement and a sale participation agreement and, if the member received stock options, a stock option agreement. The management stockholder's agreements, stock option agreements and sale participation agreements apply with respect to the common stock and options issued in connection with and since the completion of the Sponsor Transactions and common stock issued upon

202



exercise of the options, in each case pursuant to our 2006 Equity Plan. The terms of these agreements are described below. We have also entered into a substantially similar stockholder's agreement and stock option agreement with each of our directors who have acquired our common stock or other equity interests in our company.

Management Stockholder's Agreements

          The management stockholder's agreements generally restrict the ability of the management stockholders to transfer shares of our common stock held by them until the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Sponsor Transactions and a change of control of our company. We refer to the period during which those transfer restrictions are in effect as the "restricted period." Each management stockholder's agreement also provides the management stockholder or his or her estate with the right during the restricted period to require us to purchase all of the shares of our common stock covered by the management stockholder's agreement and to net settle all of the options issued to him or her (and purchase the shares of our common stock issued upon settlement of the options) covered by the management stockholder's agreement if his or her employment is terminated due to death or disability.

          We have the right under the management stockholder's agreements and the stock option agreements during the restricted period to require a management stockholder to sell to us the shares of our common stock and, in certain cases, the options issued to him or her covered by the management stockholder's agreement in the following circumstances and at a specified price that varies based upon the particular circumstance:

    We may purchase all or a portion of the management stockholder's shares of our common stock if we terminate the management stockholder's employment for cause or if the management stockholder transfers his or her shares in violation of the general prohibition on transfer provided for in the agreement. In that case, all options granted to the management stockholder will terminate.

    We may purchase all or a portion of the management stockholder's shares of our common stock if the management stockholder terminates his or her employment without good reason. In that case, all options granted to the management stockholder will terminate. In those cases, we may also purchase all or a portion of the exercisable options granted to the management stockholder.

    We may purchase all or a portion of the management stockholder's shares of our common stock if we terminate the management stockholder's employment without cause, if the management stockholder terminates his or her employment for good reason or if the management stockholder retires in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. In that case, we may also purchase all of the exercisable options granted to the management stockholder.

    We may purchase all or a portion of the management stockholder's shares of our common stock if the management stockholder's employment is terminated due to death or disability. In those cases, we may also purchase all of the exercisable options granted to the management stockholder.

          Each management stockholder's agreement also provides the management stockholder with certain pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of our common stock if we issue additional common stock to our Sponsors and "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the registration and sale of their shares of our common stock.

          Pursuant to the management stockholder's agreements (or, in the case of directors, the director stockholder's agreement), the following directors and executive officers bought the

203



following number of shares of our common stock at $5.00 per share: Mr. Dammerman (1,000,000), Mr. Fox (600,000), Mr. Grundhofer (150,000), Mr. Hubbard (20,000), Mr. Aldinger (3,000,000), Mr. Baio (400,000), Mr. DiDonato (500,000), Mr. Earnest (500,000), Mr. Fairfield (220,000), Mr. Gersten (500,000), Mr. Lin (460,000), Mr. Lipson (400,000), Mr. McManus (240,000), and Ms. Pickles (120,000); the following executive officers bought the following number of shares of our common stock at $5.39 per share: Mr. DiDonato (200,000), Mr. Earnest (200,000), Mr. Fairfield (120,000), Mr. Gersten (200,000), Mr. Kopsky (46,383), Mr. Lin (200,000), Mr. Lipson (200,000), Mr. McManus (200,000), and Ms. Pickles (50,000); Mr. Kopsky bought 75,000 shares of our common stock at $7.43 per share; and the following executive officers bought the following number of shares of our common stock at $6.11 per share: Mr. Earnest (50,000), Mr. Gersten (65,000), Mr. Kopsky (20,000), and Mr. McManus (50,000).

Repurchase of Common Stock from Mr. Baio

          In connection with his termination of employment, on October 26, 2007 we purchased all of the shares of our common stock previously owned by Mr. Baio, our former Chief Financial Officer, for the fair market value of those shares, which our board determined to be $7.43 per share on that date. We paid $2,972,000 to Mr. Baio for his 400,000 shares of our common stock, for which he paid $2,000,000. See "—Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, James Baio".

Repurchase of Common Stock and Interests in Incentive Vehicles from Mr. DiDonato

          In connection with his termination of employment, on May 22, 2008 we purchased from Mr. DiDonato 700,000 shares of our common stock previously owned by Mr. DiDonato (or his trust), one of our named executive officers in 2007, for an amount equal to the book value of those shares. Additionally, we repurchased certain of Mr. DiDonato's interests in certain incentive vehicles through which he was previously entitled to distributions of carried interest. We paid Mr. DiDonato a total payment of $3,822,001. In connection with these repurchases, Mr. DiDonato agreed to a release and waiver of any claims against our company and our affiliates and agreements related to the non-disparagement of our company and our affiliates, non-solicitation of employees of our company and our affiliates and non-disclosure of confidential information relating to our company and our affiliates. See "—Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control, Other Named Executive Officers."

Sale Participation Agreements

          The sale participation agreements grant management stockholders a right to participate in any private sale of shares of common stock by our Sponsor stockholder (other than sales to affiliates) occurring prior to the fifth anniversary of the Sponsor Transactions. The sale participation agreements also require management stockholders to participate in any private sale during that period if required by our Sponsor stockholder or its affiliates provided that it is proposing to sell at least 50% of our outstanding common stock. In order to participate in any sale, management stockholders may be required, among other things, to become a party to an agreement under which the common stock is to be sold and to grant certain powers with respect to the proposed sale of common stock to custodians and attorneys-in-fact.

Stock Option Agreements

          The stock option agreements provide for the granting of non-qualified time-based options and performance-based options. The time-based options vest and become exercisable over time with respect to 20% of the common stock subject to the time-based options on each of the first five anniversaries of the option grant date, except as otherwise determined by our board of directors. The performance-based options vest and become exercisable over time with respect to 20% of the common stock subject to the performance-based options on the end of each of the first five fiscal

204



years occurring after the option grant date, except as otherwise determined by our board of directors, if we achieve certain return on equity performance targets. If a performance target is missed in any one year, but in a subsequent year the cumulative actual performance for prior years equals or exceeds the annual performance targets for those years, all performance-based options that did not vest will vest and become exercisable, as if all prior annual targets had been met. In addition to the termination of the options under the circumstances described above under "—Management Stockholder's Agreements," the stock option agreements provide for additional events upon which the options will expire.

Side-By-Side and Other Investment Transactions

          Brian R. DiDonato, one of our named executive officers in 2007, was permitted to invest his own capital in co-investments with certain private funds and CDOs that we manage. Co-investments are investments in these private funds and CDOs upon the same terms and conditions as those made by third-party investors.

Purchase of Investment Securities

          On November 15, 2006, we bought a residential loan residual from an affiliate of GMAC at an aggregate price of $22.8 million. We believe that the consideration that we paid in connection with the transaction was comparable to the amount that would be paid in an arm's length transactions.

Bond Acquisitions by Certain Officers

          On March 11, 2005, Robert D. Feller, our former Chief Executive Officer, purchased a tax exempt bond from our company at par, for a purchase price of $300,000. Additionally on May 11, 2005, Mr. Feller purchased two tax exempt bonds from our company at par, for an aggregate amount of $500,000.

Loan to Affiliate of Our Sponsor Stockholder

          In connection with our ordinary course lending activities, we made a $59.0 million, 24-month construction loan to a borrower owned in part by an entity that is indirectly owned by KKR. While the loan was non-recourse, we received a completion guaranty and standard recourse carve-outs provided by certain affiliates of the borrower. The loan was made in connection with the construction of 35 beachfront condo-hotel units in Southern California and was fully repaid in August 2007.

Carried Interest

          Certain investment funds sponsored by our company allocate a portion of the income generated by these sponsored funds, refered to as "carried interest," generally to the fund's general partner. The carried interest is generally equal to 20% of the profits generated by these sponsored funds after return of the investors' capital and achievement of a required return to the investors, as specified in the sponsored funds' governing agreements. Limited partners in the general partner may participate in the carried interest, through what we refer to as "incentive vehicles."

          Brian R. DiDonato, one of our named executive officers in 2007, and other Capmark employees were granted limited partnership interests in the incentive vehicles. Each participating employee will be entitled to distributions of a portion of the carried interest as a limited partner of the incentive vehicles. We currently expect that the participation of the employees will range from 25% to 50% of the total carried interest generated from third-party investments in the sponsored investment funds for which incentive vehicles have been or will be established in the future. These grants of participation in the carried interest are intended to align the interests of participating employees with the interests of the investors in those funds. Although the program was implemented in 2006, the incentive vehicles have not made any earnings distribution to

205



Mr. DiDonato as of March 31, 2008 nor will any such distribution be made as a result of his resignation that was effective March 31, 2008.

Statement of Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

          Our board of directors has adopted a written policy and procedures with respect to related person transactions (the "Related Person Policy") to assist us in reviewing, approving and ratifying related person transactions and to assist us in the preparation of related disclosures required by the SEC. This Related Person Policy supplements our other policies that may apply to transactions with related persons, such as our Code of Ethics.

          The Related Person Policy provides that all related person transactions covered by the policy must be approved or ratified by either (i) the Audit Committee or (ii) our Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel (or their designees). Our directors and executive officers are required to provide detailed notice as soon as reasonably practicable about any potential Related Person Transaction (as defined in the policy) to the General Counsel or his designee for analysis to determine whether the particular transaction does constitute a Related Person Transaction requiring compliance with the policy and/or disclosure under applicable SEC rules. If the transaction or relationship constitutes a Related Person Transaction under the policy, it will be referred to (i) the Audit Committee or (ii) the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel (or their designees) in accordance with the Related Person Policy. All determinations by the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel under the Related Person Policy will be reported to the Audit Committee. The Related Person Policy contains pre-approval for certain types of transactions, including among other things, those not required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and those already reported pursuant to that item, all of which must be reported to the General Counsel (or his designee).

          In reviewing Related Person Transactions for approval or ratification, the Audit Committee or the Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, as applicable, will consider the relevant facts and circumstances, including:

    whether the terms of the Related Person Transaction are in the best interests of our company and such terms would be on the same basis if the transaction did not involve a related person;

    whether there are business reasons for our company to enter into the Related Person Transaction;

    whether the Related Person Transaction would impair the independence of an outside director;

    whether the Related Person Transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of our company, taking into account: (i) the size of the transaction, (ii) the overall financial position of the director or executive officer, (iii) the direct or indirect nature of the director's or executive officer's interest in the transaction, (iv) and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship and (v) any other factors deemed relevant; and

    whether the Related Person Transaction is material, taking into account: (i) the importance of the interest to the related person, (ii) the relationship of the related person to the transaction and of related persons to each other, (iii) the dollar amount involved and (iv) the significance of the transaction to our investors in light of all the circumstances.

          Generally, the Related Person Policy applies to any current or proposed transaction in which:

    our company was or is to be a participant;

    the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and

    any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

          The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock as of July 3, 2008 by each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock, by each of our directors, by each named executive officer, and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group. The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned by each stockholder in the table below are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities and include, for any stockholder, shares of our common stock that the holder has the right to acquire within 60 days. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the relevant security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the relevant security. As a consequence, more than one person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the same shares of our common stock. The percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock is based on the 431,704,236 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 3, 2008. Shares subject to option grants that have vested or will vest within 60 days are deemed outstanding for calculating the percentage ownership of the person holding the options, but are not deemed outstanding for calculating the percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Senior Credit Facility

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we entered into a new $5.5 billion senior credit facility, consisting of a revolving credit facility and a term loan facility, with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and other lenders. Citibank, N.A. serves as the administrative agent for the senior credit facility and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. serves as the syndication agent. Each of Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P. and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc serves as a documentation agent. We and certain of our U.S. (Capmark Finance Inc., SJM Cap, LLC and Capmark Bank), Canadian (Capmark Canada Limited), Irish (Capmark Bank Europe, Capmark EI Ireland Limited, Capmark Ireland Limited and Capmark AB No. 2 Limited) and Japanese (Capmark Funding Asia KK and Capmark Japan KK) subsidiaries are borrowers under the senior credit facility and are severally and not jointly liable for their respective obligations under the facility. We have guaranteed the obligations of each other borrower under the senior credit facility and our subsidiaries that have guaranteed our obligations under our bridge loan and our notes have guaranteed our company's obligations under the senior credit facility, as described below.

Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings

          The revolving credit facility consists of a $2.75 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility that is divided into four sub-facilities: a U.S. sub-facility, a Canadian sub-facility, an Irish sub-facility and a Japanese sub-facility. The U.S. sub-facility only permits loans to be denominated in U.S. dollars. All other sub-facilities allow for loans that are denominated in euros, pounds sterling, Japanese yen or U.S. dollars and, in the case of the Canadian sub-facility, Canadian dollars. The U.S. borrowers and our Irish banking subsidiaries are permitted to borrow funds under any sub-facility in any available currency under the sub-facility. The Canadian, Irish and Japanese borrowers are permitted to borrow funds only under the Canadian, Irish (other than Capmark Bank Europe) and Japanese sub-facilities, respectively. The foreign-domiciled borrowers are permitted to borrow amounts in most currencies under the applicable sub-facility. In addition, the revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and swing line borrowings. We believe that these sub-facilities provide us with a stable and important source of liquidity for funding our operations and have reduced our dependence on secured financing. We may, at our option and to the extent lenders agree to participate, increase the revolving credit facility or any subfacilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.0 billion.

Term Loan Facility Borrowings

          The term loan facility consists of a $2.75 billion term loan facility. We borrowed the full amount of the term loan on March 23, 2006 in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. A portion of the term loan was borrowed by one of the Japanese borrowers.

Interest Rates and Fees

          Borrowings under our senior credit facility bear interest at rates that vary according to the denomination of the loan. In particular:

    U.S. Dollar Denominated Borrowings. Borrowings that are denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest at a rate equal to either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for

209


      deposits of U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to the borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. We have the option to select which rate applies to a particular borrowing.

    Euro Denominated Borrowings. Borrowings that are denominated in euros bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a EURIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for deposits in euros for the interest period relevant to the borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs.

    Pounds Sterling and Japanese Yen Denominated Borrowings. Borrowings that are denominated in pounds sterling or Japanese yen bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for deposits in the currency of the borrowings for the interest period relevant to the borrowings adjusted for certain additional costs.

    Canadian Denominated Borrowings. Borrowings that are denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at different rates depending on whether the funds are borrowed by a Canadian borrower or a U.S. borrower. In the case of a Canadian borrower, we may elect to have interest calculated at a rate equal to a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the annual rate of interest established by Citibank Canada as the reference rate of interest then in effect for determining interest rates on commercial loans denominated in Canadian dollars made by it in Canada and (2) the sum of 1/2 of 1% plus the one-month CDOR Rate for that day. Alternatively, we may treat the loan as a bankers' acceptance purchased by the lender at a discount rate determined by reference to the average of the annual discount rates for Canadian Dollar bankers' acceptances having a comparable term and face amount appearing on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page. In the case of a U.S. borrower, interest is payable at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for deposits in Canadian dollars for the interest period relevant to the borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs.

          The applicable margins for LIBOR and EURIBOR borrowings drawn under our senior credit facility may vary from 0.600% to 0.925% and are based on the credit ratings that are given to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness by nationally recognized ratings agencies.

          In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under our senior credit facility, we are also required to pay a facility fee to the lenders in respect of any outstanding loans and unutilized commitments. The facility fee rate may vary from 0.100% to 0.175%, depending on the credit ratings that are given to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness by nationally recognized ratings agencies that is used to determine the applicable margin for LIBOR and EURIBOR borrowings. In addition, we must also pay customary letter of credit fees.

Guarantees; Unsecured Obligations

          All obligations of our company under the senior credit facility have been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and one of our Bermudian subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, the guarantors consisted of the following companies: Capmark Capital Inc., Capmark Finance Inc., Capmark Investments LP, Commercial Equity Investments, Inc., Mortgage Investments, LLC, Net Lease Acquisition LLC and SJM Cap, LLC and Crystal Ball Holding of Bermuda Limited. The guarantees are senior obligations of the guarantors.

          The borrowers' obligations under the senior credit facility and the guarantees of those obligations by the guarantors are general unsecured obligations. Subject to several important exceptions, however, the senior credit facility contains a customary restriction on the ability of the borrowers or guarantors to pledge their property or assets or otherwise subject their property or

210



assets to a lien unless the obligations under the senior credit facility are secured on an equal and ratable basis.

No Amortization; Mandatory Prepayments

          Principal amounts outstanding under both the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility are due and payable in full, at maturity, on March 23, 2011. We are not required to make mandatory prepayments of amounts borrowed. However, if as a result of any negative fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the aggregate amount of debt outstanding under any facility or sub-facility exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the commitments under the facility as then in effect, we may be required by notice from the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under the facility to prepay an amount of indebtedness so as to cause the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding not to exceed the applicable commitments.

Voluntary Prepayments

          We may prepay amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility or the term loan facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR or EURIBOR loans. Amounts repaid under the term loan may not be reborrowed.

Covenants and Events of Default

          Our senior credit facility contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for similar senior credit facilities. The covenants in the senior credit facilities include limitations (each of which is subject to customary exceptions) on our consolidated leverage ratio as well as our ability and the ability of our current and future subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge, consolidate or engage in asset sales, engage in transactions with affiliates and change the nature of the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries. In addition, the senior credit facility requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility) of no more than 0.87 to 1.0. Compliance with this covenant is measured without giving effect to the consolidation of our LIHTC partnerships or other entities under SFAS No. 66 or FIN 46(R). We are in compliance with our covenants under the senior credit facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Understanding Our Financial Results—Consolidation of LIHTC Partnerships."

          Our senior credit facility also contains certain customary events of default, including a failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, a failure of a representation or warranty to be true in all material respects when made or deemed made, a breach of a covenant, a cross-default, the entry of a material judgment against us, bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain ERISA violations or a "change of control" or "ownership" as defined in the credit agreement. These events of default may allow for certain grace periods and materiality limitations.

Bridge Loan

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, we entered into a $5.25 billion bridge loan agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Citicorp North America, Inc. serves as the administrative agent under the bridge loan agreement and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. serves as the syndication agent. Each of Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P. and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc serves as a documentation agent. We are the only borrower under the bridge loan agreement. Our subsidiaries that have guaranteed our

211



obligations under our senior credit facility and our notes have guaranteed our company's obligations under the bridge loan, as described below.

Borrowings

          We borrowed the full amount of the bridge loan on March 23, 2006 in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. In December 2006, we repaid $1.5 billion of the bridge loan. In May 2007, we repaid approximately $2.0 billion under the bridge loan and as of March 31, 2008, approximately $1.7 billion remained outstanding.

Interest Rates and Fees

          Borrowings under our bridge loan bear interest at a rate equal to either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or (2) an applicable margin plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for deposits of U.S. dollars for the interest period relevant to the borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. We have the option, subject to certain conditions, to convert a particular borrowing from one interest rate to the other during the term of the bridge loan.

          The applicable margins for LIBOR borrowings drawn under our bridge loan agreement may vary from 0.500% to 0.825% and are based on the credit ratings that are given to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness by nationally recognized ratings agencies.

          In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under our bridge loan agreement, we are also required to pay a facility fee to the lenders in respect of outstanding principal. The facility fee rate may vary from 0.100% to 0.175%, depending on the credit ratings that are given to our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness by nationally recognized rating agencies.

Guarantees; Unsecured Obligations

          All obligations of our company under the bridge loan have been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries that have guaranteed our obligations under the senior credit facility. The guarantees are senior obligations of the guarantors.

          Our obligations under the bridge loan agreement and the guarantees of those obligations by the guarantors are general unsecured obligations. Subject to several important exceptions, however, the bridge loan agreement contains a customary restriction on the ability of the borrowers or guarantors under the bridge loan agreement or our senior credit facility to pledge their property or assets or otherwise subject their property or assets to a lien unless the obligations under the bridge loan agreement are secured on an equal and ratable basis.

Maturity; Mandatory Prepayments

          Principal amounts outstanding under the bridge loan are due and payable in full, at maturity, on March 23, 2008. On March 23, 2008, we extended the maturity date for the amount then-outstanding under the bridge loan to March 23, 2009. In addition, if we or any of our domestic subsidiaries (other than Capmark Bank, Escrow Bank or any of their subsidiaries) or certain overseas subsidiaries (other than Capmark Bank Europe plc or any of its subsidiaries) issues or places unsecured debt securities having a maturity of two or more years, and the aggregate amount of those issuances or placements exceeds $100 million, we will be required to prepay the bridge loan in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of all such issuances and placements until prepayments of $1.5 billion have been made (which amount was prepaid in connection with the offering of the notes); after prepayments of $1.5 billion, plus an amount to cover accrued interest payable upon such prepayments, are made, we will be required to use 50% of the aggregate net cash proceeds of such issuances and placements until such aggregate

212



proceeds equal $3 billion (of which amount approximately $2.0 billion was prepaid in connection with the offering of the notes), and 100% of any net cash proceeds of such issuances and placements in excess of $3 billion to further repay any outstanding indebtedness under the bridge loan. See "Capitalization."

Voluntary Prepayments

          We may prepay amounts outstanding under the bridge loan agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to LIBOR loans. Amounts repaid under the bridge loan may not be reborrowed.

Covenants and Events of Default

          Our bridge loan agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants that are substantially similar to those contained in our senior credit facility. These covenants include limitations (each of which is subject to customary exceptions) on our consolidated leverage ratio as well as our ability and the ability of our current and future subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge, consolidate or engage in asset sales, engage in transactions with affiliates and change the nature of the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries. In addition, the bridge loan agreement contains a maximum total debt to total capitalization financial covenant that is the same as that contained in our senior credit facility.

          Our bridge loan agreement also contains certain customary events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in our senior credit facility, including a failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, a failure of a representation or warranty to be true in all material respects when made or deemed made, a breach of a covenant, a cross-default, the entry of a material judgment against us, bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain ERISA violations or a "change of control" as defined in the bridge loan agreement. These events of default may allow for certain grace periods and materiality limitations.

Junior Subordinated Debentures and Trust Preferred Securities

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, on March 23, 2006, we issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of our junior subordinated debentures to Capmark Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, under an indenture, dated as of March 23, 2006, among our company, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as agent. Contemporaneously with our issuance of the junior subordinated debentures, we and Capmark Trust entered into a purchase agreement with GMAC under which GMAC purchased $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by the trust in exchange for the reduction of an equivalent amount of indebtedness that we owed GMAC at the time. We hold and are required to continue to hold all of the common securities that have been issued by Capmark Trust and GMAC holds all of the trust preferred securities. Capmark Trust is not permitted to issue any other additional securities in the future.

          The trust preferred securities entitle GMAC to receive, on a quarterly basis, cumulative cash distributions of amounts actually received by the trust in respect of the junior subordinated debentures, including upon redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of amounts due under the trust preferred securities on a subordinated basis to the extent Capmark Trust has funds available for payment of those amounts. GMAC may also enforce certain provisions of the indenture governing the junior subordinated debentures as a third-party beneficiary, including the right to declare an event of default upon a failure by us to pay principal or interest when due on the junior subordinated debentures.

213


Interest Rates

          Interest accrues and is payable on the junior subordinated debentures on a quarterly basis at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. We have the option to defer interest payments from time to time on the junior subordinated debentures for a period of up to ten years, subject to certain limitations. In addition, interest payments are mandatorily deferred if we do not meet certain financial tests relating to our capital adequacy, interest coverage or adjusted earnings before taxes.

          Upon the occurrence of an optional or mandatory deferral of interest payments, we may not pay dividends on our common stock or make payments of interest or principal on debt securities that rank equal or junior to the subordinated debentures. In addition, upon the occurrence of a mandatory deferral event, we may pay interest on the junior subordinated debentures only with the proceeds of eligible equity offerings. If we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds from eligible equity offerings to pay all accrued interest on the junior subordinated debentures prior to the second anniversary of the mandatory deferral event, the applicable margin for the junior subordinated debentures is reduced until the earlier of our compliance with the financial tests referred to above and the tenth anniversary of the mandatory deferral event. We are required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to complete an eligible equity offering if a mandatory deferral occurs and continues for a period of more than one year, or an optional deferral occurs and continues for a period of more than five years.

Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debentures; Dissolution of the Trust

          The junior subordinated debentures will mature on March 23, 2046. The trust will be dissolved upon the earlier of the maturity date of the junior subordinated notes and the occurrence of certain specified events, including the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures or a bankruptcy or dissolution of our company.

Optional Redemption

          The junior subordinated debentures are redeemable, at our option, at any time on or after March 23, 2011 at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. Prior to March 23, 2011, the junior subordinated debentures are redeemable, at our option, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest, upon the occurrence of a change of control of our company (or as a result of customary redemption provisions relating to changes in tax or Investment Company Act treatment), and at a premium of up to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest upon an initial public offering of our common stock. We have agreed, however, for the benefit of the lenders under our bridge loan and the holders of other debt that may be designated by us that we will not redeem prior to maturity all or any part of the junior subordinated debentures (and accordingly will not permit Capmark Trust to redeem any of the trust preferred securities) except to the extent that, during the 180 calendar days prior to the date of that redemption, we have received proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying securities and complied with certain other terms and conditions. To the extent that we redeem any junior subordinated debentures, Capmark Trust will be required to use the proceeds from the redemption that it receives to redeem a corresponding amount of outstanding trust preferred securities.

Asset-Backed Financing Arrangements

          We are a party to a number of secured funding facilities that we use to finance inventories of loans and securities. These funding sources consist of repurchase agreements and other asset-backed financing arrangements. The instruments governing these arrangements typically include customary representations and warranties and events of default.

214


Repurchase Agreements

          We are a party to repurchase agreements with financial institutions located in the United States. Under our repurchase agreements with these financial institutions, we sell loans and securities that we own to a counterparty subject to an agreement by the counterparty to sell the same loans or securities back to us at a later date. The repurchase price is generally equal to the original sale price plus an interest factor. The interest factor is typically based on LIBOR or another benchmark plus a margin. We account for these agreements as indebtedness that is secured by the loans or securities that are sold to the counterparty.

          As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $191.8 million of indebtedness outstanding under these repurchase agreements. Our borrowings under these agreements were denominated in U.S. dollars and pounds sterling and typically have terms of one month or less. Because we borrow under repurchase agreements based on the estimated fair value of the pledged loans and securities, and because changes in interest rates can negatively impact the values of the pledged loans and securities, in the event interest rates change or the value of the pledged instruments decline as a result of adverse changes in interest rates or credit spreads, our ongoing ability to borrow under our repurchase facilities may be limited and our lenders may initiate margin calls.

Other Asset-Backed Financing Arrangements

          We have established other asset-backed funding facilities with financial institutions located in the United States, Europe and Asia. These facilities permit us to sell certain assets such as whole loans, participations in loans and tax-exempt bonds, to special purpose entities, which in turn issue and sell participating interests or puttable tax-exempt bond derivatives. The agreements provide the counterparties with the right to cause us to either repurchase the transferred assets or reimburse the cost if certain circumstances exist. In addition, counterparties may also require us to sell down our outstanding interest in the assets to a third party during liquidation events. We also may have the right to purchase the bonds back from the special purpose entity in certain events, such as a near-term securitization. Our funding cost for these facilities is based on LIBOR or another benchmark plus a margin. As of March 31, 2008, there was $3.0 billion of indebtedness outstanding under these facilities.

Other Indebtedness

          We have entered into term loans and committed and uncommitted unsecured and secured credit lines with a number of banks and non-bank financial companies in North America, Asia and Europe. We use these loans to fund our short-term liquidity needs in connection with our lending and real estate related investment activities. As of March 31, 2008, we had $862.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under these financing arrangements. These borrowings are denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Euro and other foreign currencies and bear interest at either fixed or floating rates. In some instances, the interest rate varies based on the amount of deposits that we maintain with the lender, which may include escrow and reserve balances that are deposited with a lender in connection with our servicing operations.

          We have also entered into investment lines and other facilities with banks with whom we deposit escrow and custodial funds from our loan servicing operations. These short-term facilities may be secured by short-term investments purchased with the proceeds of the facilities. The facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars, generally have limits that range between $100 million to $750 million and have a term of thirty days. As of March 31, 2008, we had no indebtedness outstanding under these facilities.

215



DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

          The notes were issued under three indentures (as used in this "Description of the Notes," the "Indentures") among our company, the Guarantors referred to below and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (as used in this "Description of the Notes," the "Trustee"). The 2010 floating rate notes, the 2012 fixed rate notes and the 2017 fixed rate notes each comprise a separate series of debt securities. The terms of each series of notes include those contained in the applicable Indenture and those made part of each Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

          The following summaries of certain provisions of the notes and the Indentures do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the terms and conditions of the notes and the Indentures, including the definitions of certain terms included in the Indentures. We urge you to read the Indentures because those documents, and not this "Description of the Notes," define your rights as a holder of notes. Copies of the Indentures are available at our principal executive offices and the offices of the Trustee in New York City, New York.

          You can find the definitions of certain terms used in the Indentures and this "Description of the Notes" under "—Certain Definitions." In this "Description of the Notes," the terms "Capmark," "we," "our" and "our company" refer only to Capmark Financial Group Inc. and do not include any of our subsidiaries. The terms "holder" or "noteholder" mean, with respect to any notes, the person in whose name those notes are registered in the register maintained for those notes. Only registered holders have rights under the Indentures.

General

          The notes of each series:

    are senior unsecured obligations of ours;

    rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured Indebtedness;

    rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future Indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes;

    are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

    are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness or other liabilities of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes; and

    are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.

          We are entitled, without the consent of the holders, to issue additional notes under the applicable Indenture on the same terms and conditions (except for the issue price and the issue date) and with the same security identification numbers as the notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount (any such notes being referred to as "additional notes"). Each series of notes is treated as a separate class and the additional notes of each series, if any, will be treated as a single class with the other notes of the relevant series for all purposes, including waivers and amendments. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the applicable Indenture and this "Description of the Notes," references to a series of notes include any additional notes of the same series actually issued.

          Our payment obligations with respect to each series of notes are guaranteed by the Initial Guarantors (each, a "Guarantee"). The Initial Guarantors consist of each of our Domestic Subsidiaries and one of our Foreign Subsidiaries (organized under the laws of Bermuda) that have guaranteed our company's obligations under our senior credit facility and our Bridge Loan. The Initial Guarantors do not, however, include any of our Foreign Subsidiaries that are direct borrowers under our senior credit facility. One or more of our other Domestic Subsidiaries may be required to guarantee the notes pursuant to the provisions of the Indentures that are described under "—Additional Guarantors" and a Guarantee of a Guarantor may be released in the circumstances described under "—Guarantees."

          Each Guarantee of a series of notes:

    are a senior unsecured obligation of the applicable Guarantor;

    rank equal in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior unsecured Indebtedness of the applicable Guarantor;

    rank senior in right of payment to all of the existing and future Indebtedness of the applicable Guarantor that is subordinated to the Guarantee;

    are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the applicable Guarantor's existing and future secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness; and

    are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Subsidiaries of our company that do not guarantee the notes.

Fixed Rate Notes

          We issued the following fixed rate notes:

    $1,200,000,000 in initial aggregate principal amount of 2012 fixed rate notes. Interest on the 2012 fixed rate notes accrues at the rate of 5.875% per annum from and including the date of initial issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the 2012 fixed rate notes, from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The 2012 fixed rate notes mature on May 10, 2012.

    $500,000,000 in initial aggregate principal amount of 2017 fixed rate notes. Interest on the 2017 fixed rate notes accrues at the rate of 6.300% per annum from the date of initial issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the 2017 fixed rate notes, from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The 2017 fixed rate notes mature on May 10, 2017.

          We make interest payments on each series of fixed rate notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 10 and November 10 of each year, commencing on November 10, 2007, to the holders of record of such series of notes at the close of business on the preceding April 25 and October 25,

217


respectively, whether or not those dates are business days. Interest on each series of fixed rate notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed.

          If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date with respect to any series of fixed rate notes falls on a day that is not a business day, the required payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, will be made on the next succeeding business day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and after such interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding business day.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest that is payable, but that is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on an interest payment date for any fixed rate notes ("defaulted interest") will cease to be payable to the holders of record to whom the defaulted interest was originally to have been paid on such interest payment date and will be payable instead, at our election, to the persons in whose name such fixed rate notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date fixed by us for payment of the defaulted interest.

Floating Rate Notes

          We have issued $830,000,000 of 2010 floating rate notes. The 2010 floating rate notes mature on May 10, 2010.

          We make interest payments on 2010 floating rate notes quarterly, in arrears, on February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10 of each year, commencing on August 10, 2007, to the holders of record of the 2010 floating rate notes at the close of business on the preceding January 25, April 25, July 25 and October 25, respectively, whether or not those dates are business days. Interest on the floating rate notes is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable interest period and a 360-day year.

          The 2010 floating rate notes bear interest at a variable rate determined by the calculation agent. The interest rate for a particular interest period is an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the applicable interest determination date plus 0.650%. The interest rate is reset on the first day of each interest period other than the initial interest period (each an "interest reset date"). An interest period is the period commencing on an interest payment date (or the date of initial issuance in the case of the initial interest period) and ending on the day immediately preceding the next following interest payment date. The "interest determination date" was May 8, 2007 in the case of the first interest period and was and will be the second London banking day preceding the beginning of the interest period in the case of each other interest period.

          On any interest determination date, "LIBOR" is determined by the calculation agent as follows:

    (1)
    LIBOR is the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for the three-month period, that appear on "Reuters Page LIBOR 01" (or if such page by its terms provides for a single rate, such single rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the interest determination date. "Reuters Page LIBOR 01" means the display page designated as "LIBOR 01" on the Reuters service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks, or any successor page on the Reuters service selected by us with the consent of the calculation agent, or if we determine that no such successor page exists on Reuters, an equivalent page on any successor service selected by us with the consent of the calculation agent.

    (2)
    If the offered rate does not appear on the Reuters Page LIBOR 01 at 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable interest determination date, the calculation agent will determine

218


      LIBOR as follows, on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market (selected by the calculation agent after consulting with us) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the interest determination date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of three months in principal amounts of at least $1,000,000, which rates are representative for single transactions in that market at that time. In that case, the calculation agent will request the principal London office of each of those major banks to provide a quotation of that rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for the applicable interest reset date will be the arithmetic average of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, LIBOR for the applicable interest reset date will be the arithmetic average of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City, New York (selected by the calculation agent after consulting with us) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the interest determination date for the applicable interest reset date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading banks for a period of three months commencing on that interest reset date and in a principal amount equal to an amount not less than $1,000,000, which rates are representative for single transactions in that market at that time. If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, LIBOR for the following interest period will be the same as the rate determined for the then-current interest period.

          A "London banking day" is any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market.

          All percentages resulting from calculation of the interest rate with respect to the floating rate notes are rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionth of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) is rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) is rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)), and all dollar amounts in or resulting from any such calculation are rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

          Promptly upon determination, the calculation agent will inform the Trustee and us of the interest rate for the next interest period. The calculation agent will also, upon the request of the holder of any 2010 floating rate notes, provide the interest rate in effect for the then-current interest period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next interest period. All calculations made by the calculation agent in the absence of willful misconduct, bad faith or manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us and the holders of the 2010 floating rate notes.

          Interest on the 2010 floating rate notes accrues from the date of initial issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the 2010 floating rate notes, from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid or provided for to but excluding the relevant interest payment date. If an interest payment date (other than the maturity date) falls on a day that is not a business day, the interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding business day, unless such next succeeding business day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date of the 2010 floating rate notes falls on a day that is not a business day, we will make the required payment of principal and interest on the immediately succeeding business day, as if it were made on the date the payment was due. Interest will not accrue as a result of any postponed or delayed payment in accordance with this paragraph.

          The interest rate on the 2010 floating rate notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law.

219


Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

          The notes are issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          Payments on each series of notes may be made at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, or we may choose to pay such amounts by (i) check mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the register maintained for such notes or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States of the person entitled to receive payments as specified in the register maintained for such notes.

          Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture, if any payment in respect of a note is due on a day that is not at the place of payment a business day, the payment at such place of payment need not be made on that day but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day at that place of payment, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest will accrue during the period of postponement.

Guarantees

          Payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on each series of notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Initial Guarantors and any of our wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries that becomes a New Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture described below under "—Additional Guarantors." The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent that Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Federal or state laws allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void debts, including guarantees, and could require holders of the notes to return payments received from our subsidiary guarantors."

          Each Indenture provides that a Guarantor will not consolidate or merge into another person or convey or transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets to any person (other than Capmark or another Guarantor), unless, among other things:

    the person acquiring the assets of a Guarantor in any such sale or other disposition or the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof and (if such a person is not the Guarantor) expressly assumes pursuant to a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee and the applicable Indenture; and

    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into, another person so long as each Guarantee of the Guarantor would be released in connection with such transaction in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture as described below.

          Each Indenture provides, with respect to each series of notes, that a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from all its obligations under its Guarantee of the notes of the series and all its obligations under the applicable Indenture with respect to the notes of the series:

    in the case of the Foreign Initial Guarantor, if the Foreign Initial Guarantor ceases to guarantee the obligations of our company under our Bridge Loan;

220


    in the case of any other Guarantor, if the Guarantor ceases to guarantee the obligations of our company under our Credit Agreement and our Bridge Loan; and

    in the case of all Guarantors, upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the series of notes in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture described under "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable Indenture with respect to the series of notes as described under "—Satisfaction and Discharge."

          The Trustee will be required, at our expense, to execute and deliver such instruments as we or a Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of the Guarantor's obligations under any Guarantee and the applicable Indenture with respect to any series of notes.

Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent

          The Trustee initially acts as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar for each series of notes and as the calculation agent for the 2010 floating rate notes. In such capacities, the Trustee is responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of notes represented by any global notes representing notes issued under the applicable Indenture and accepting notes for exchange and registration of transfer, (ii) ensuring that payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, in respect of the notes received by the Trustee from us are duly paid to the registered holder, (iii) transmitting to us any notices from noteholders and (iv) calculating the interest rate for the 2010 floating rate notes.

          We may change each of the paying agent, transfer agent and registrar for any series of notes and may change the calculation agent for the 2010 floating rate notes at any time at our discretion and without notice, and we or any of our Subsidiaries may act as paying agent, transfer agent, registrar or calculation agent with respect to any notes issued under the Indentures.

Interest Rate Adjustment

          The interest rate payable on the notes of each series is subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody's or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the notes of such series (a "rating") as set forth below.

          If the rating from Moody's is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the notes of each series to which such rating decrease applies will increase from the applicable initial interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above) by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:

Rating

  Percentage
 
Ba1   0.25 %
Ba2   0.50 %
Ba3   0.75 %
B1 or below   1.00 %

          If the rating from S&P is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the notes of each series to which such rating decrease applies will increase from the applicable initial interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of

221



the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above) by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:

Rating

  Percentage
 
BB+   0.25 %
BB   0.50 %
BB-   0.75 %
B+ or below   1.00 %

          If Moody's or S&P subsequently increases its rating of such series of notes to any of the ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the series of notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the notes equals the applicable initial interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above) plus (if applicable) the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody's or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the notes of any series be reduced to below the applicable initial interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above), or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the notes of any series exceed 2.00% above the applicable initial interest rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above).

          The interest rates on the notes of a series will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above if the notes of that series become rated Baa2 or higher by Moody's and BBB or higher by S&P, with a stable or positive or equivalent outlook by each.

          If either Moody's or S&P ceases to provide a rating for any series of notes, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the notes of any series shall be made solely as a result of either Moody's or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody's and S&P cease to provide a rating, the interest rate on each series of notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the applicable initial interest rates set forth on the cover page of this prospectus (or, in the case of the 2010 floating rate notes, as set forth under "—General—Floating Rate Notes" above).

          Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate.

Optional Redemption

          We may redeem the 2010 floating rate notes on any quarterly interest payment date on or after November 10, 2008 in whole or in part, on any interest payment date, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2010 floating rate notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed.

          We may redeem each series of the fixed rate notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the fixed rate notes to be redeemed, and (2) the sum of the present values (as determined by the Independent Investment Banker and as notified to the Trustee) of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the fixed rate notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, in the case of the 2012 fixed rate notes, and at

222



the applicable Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, in the case of the 2017 fixed rate notes; in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed.

          If we redeem the notes early, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in alternative investments at the same rate as provided by the notes.

          As used in this "Description of the Notes":

          "Treasury Rate" means (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the redemption date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

          "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term ("Remaining Life") of the fixed rate notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such fixed rate notes.

          "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to the redemption date, (l) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

          "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by us.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City, New York.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City, New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

          Notice of a redemption of any notes must be mailed to each holder of notes to be redeemed in accordance with the provisions set out under "—Notices," not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. If fewer than all of the notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, select the particular notes to be redeemed in part by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that no notes of $2,000 or less may be redeemed in part. Any redemption and notice of redemption pursuant to the applicable Indenture may, in our discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

223


          If we have given notice of a redemption of any series of notes as provided in the applicable Indenture and made funds available for the redemption of the particular notes called for redemption on the redemption date referred to in the notice, interest will cease to accrue on the notes called for redemption and the only right of the holders of those notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price.

          We may at any time purchase notes in the open market or otherwise at any price.

Mandatory Redemptions

          We are not required to make mandatory redemption payments or maintain any sinking fund with respect to the notes.

Covenants

          Each Indenture provides that the following restrictive covenants are applicable to us and to the extent set forth below, certain of our Subsidiaries.

Change of Control

          Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to any series of notes, each holder will have the right to require that our company purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes of the series pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer"), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

          Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, our company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each holder of the applicable series, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). Holders electing to have a note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the note completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

          If a Change of Control Offer is made, we cannot assure you that we will have available funds sufficient to pay the Change of Control purchase price for all the notes that might be delivered by holders seeking to accept the Change of Control Offer. In the event our company is required to purchase outstanding notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, we expect that we would seek third-party financing to the extent we do not have available funds to meet our purchase obligations. However, we cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain such financing.

          Neither our board of directors nor the Trustee may waive the covenant relating to a holder's right to redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event. The covenant may, in certain circumstances, make more difficult or discourage any future leveraged buyout of our company. However, the Indentures may not afford the holders of the notes protection in all circumstances from the adverse aspects of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction.

          We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that any securities laws or regulations conflict with the "Change of Control" provisions of the applicable Indenture, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be

224



deemed to have breached our obligations under the "Change of Control" provisions of that Indenture by virtue of that compliance.

Limitation on Liens

          As long as the notes remain outstanding, we shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, issue or assume any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is secured by any Lien upon any property or assets of Capmark or such Guarantor, unless all principal of and interest on the notes are secured by such Lien, equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness secured thereby, so long as any such other Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that this covenant shall not apply in the case of:

    (1)
    Liens in favor of Capmark or any Guarantor;

    (2)
    any deposit of assets of Capmark or any Guarantor with any surety company or clerk of any court, or escrow, as collateral in connection with, or in lieu of, any bond on appeal by Capmark or such Guarantor from any judgment or decree against it, or in connection with other proceedings in actions at law or in equity by or against Capmark or such Guarantor;

    (3)
    any Lien or charge on any property, tangible or intangible, real or personal, existing at the time of acquisition of such property (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) or given to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or to secure any indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 120 days after, the acquisition thereof for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof;

    (4)
    any Liens existing on the date of original issuance of the notes;

    (5)
    any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of the Liens, charges or pledges referred to in clauses (1) to (4) above in this "Limitation on Liens" covenant, provided that the amount of any and all Indebtedness secured thereby shall not exceed the amount thereof so secured immediately prior to the time of such extension, renewal or replacement; and

    (6)
    Liens (i) evidencing the sale, securitization, syndication or financing of any real estate receivables and mortgage notes and related security in connection with Permitted Receivables Financings, in each case so long as such Liens extend solely to the assets being sold, securitized or syndicated thereunder or (ii) on any assets that (A) fall within any Specified Asset Category or (B) are owned by any Specified Subsidiary.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this "Limitation on Liens" covenant does not apply to the incurrence of any Liens securing Indebtedness which, together with other outstanding Indebtedness of ours or our Guarantors secured by Liens (not including Indebtedness secured by Liens otherwise permitted under the foregoing numbered exceptions), does not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and (ii) $1.5 billion.

          This "Limitation on Liens" covenant will permanently cease to apply and will be of no further force and effect with respect to a particular series of notes if at any time the rating of such series of notes becomes A1 or higher by Moody's and A+ or higher by S&P, in each case with a stable or positive outlook.

Additional Guarantors

          Each Indenture provides that any of our wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiaries that guarantees the obligations of our company under the Credit Agreement or our Bridge Loan will, if such Domestic Subsidiary is not already a Guarantor, be required to become a Guarantor with respect to each series of notes outstanding at that time (in that capacity, a "New Guarantor") within 30 days of guaranteeing the obligations of our company under the Credit Agreement or our Bridge Loan, as the case may be, by executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

225


Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance

          Each Indenture provides that we will not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey or transfer or lease substantially all of our properties and assets to any person, unless, among other things:

    (1)
    the person acquiring our assets in any such sale or other disposition or the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof and (if such is person is not our company) expressly assumes pursuant to a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of our company under the notes and the applicable Indenture; provided, that if such person is not a corporation, a corporate co-issuer that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof shall be added to the applicable Indenture by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

    (2)
    immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

          Any sale or conveyance of assets of one or more Significant Subsidiaries (other than to us or any Guarantor), which, if such assets were owned by us, would constitute all or substantially all of our consolidated assets, will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets for purposes of the provisions described above.

230


Events of Default

          Each Indenture provides that, with respect to the series of notes covered by that Indenture, that the following events will constitute an Event of Default:

    (i)
    a default in the payment of the principal of any note of the series after any such principal becomes due in accordance with the terms thereof, upon redemption or otherwise; or default in the payment of any interest in respect of any note of the series if such default continues for 30 days after any such interest becomes due in accordance with the terms thereof;

    (ii)
    our failure, or the failure of any Guarantor, to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the notes of the series or the applicable Indenture, and such failure continues for 90 days after notice, by registered or certified mail, to us by the Trustee or to us and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series issued pursuant to the applicable Indenture, specifying such failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice constitutes a notice of default under the applicable Indenture (except in the case of a default with respect to the covenant described above under "—Covenants—Change of Control," which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

    (iii)
    our failure, or the failure by any of our Significant Subsidiaries, to perform any term or provision of any evidence of Indebtedness of us or such Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, or any other condition shall occur, and as a result of the occurrence of which default or condition any Indebtedness of us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall become or be declared to be due and payable, or we, or any of our Subsidiaries, shall be obligated to purchase any such Indebtedness of us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries, in each case, prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, or any Indebtedness of us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall not be paid when due at its stated maturity;

    (iv)
    a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction shall have been entered adjudging us, any Guarantor or any of our Significant Subsidiaries as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of or by us, any Guarantor or any of our Significant Subsidiaries and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or for the liquidation or dissolution of us, any Guarantor or any of our Significant Subsidiaries, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; provided, however, that any Significant Subsidiary may be liquidated or dissolved if, pursuant to such liquidation or dissolution, all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to us or another of our Significant Subsidiaries;

    (v)
    we, any Guarantor or any of our Significant Subsidiaries shall institute any proceeding to be adjudicated as voluntarily bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or its property; or

    (vi)
    any Guarantee of the applicable series of notes shall cease to be in full force and effect (unless such Guarantee has been released in accordance with the applicable Indenture).

231


          If an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or (v) above shall occur, the maturity of all outstanding notes shall automatically be accelerated and the principal amount of the notes, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable. If any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to a series of notes, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes of the series may, by written notice to us (and to the Trustee if given by holders), declare the principal amount of the notes of such series, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The right of the holders to give such acceleration notice shall terminate if the event giving rise to such right shall have been cured before such right is exercised. Any such declaration may be annulled and rescinded by written notice from the Trustee or the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes of the affected series to us if all amounts then due with respect to the notes of the series are paid (other than amount due solely because of such declaration) and all other defaults with respect to the notes of the series are cured.

          Subject to the provisions of the applicable Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case we shall fail to comply with our obligations under the applicable Indenture or any series of notes and such failure shall be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the applicable Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the affected notes, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series affected by an Event of Default will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such notes, to the extent such action does not conflict with the provisions of the applicable Indenture or applicable law.

          No holder or holders of any series of notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the applicable Indenture or the notes of such series or for any remedy thereunder, unless such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the series of notes and unless also the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default, such holder or holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity, the Trustee for 60 days after receipt of such notice has failed to institute any such proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series. However, such limitations will not apply to a suit individually instituted by a holder of a note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, or interest on, such note on or after respective due dates expressed in such note.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

          We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations with respect to the outstanding notes of any series discharged ("Legal Defeasance"). If we exercise our Legal Defeasance option, payment of the notes of the applicable series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to such series. Legal Defeasance means that we will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes of the series with respect to which we have exercised our Legal Defeasance option after the deposit specified in clause (1) of the second following paragraph, except for:

    (1)
    our obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

    (2)
    the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and our obligations in connection therewith; and

232


    (3)
    the Legal Defeasance provisions of the applicable Indenture.

          In addition, we may, with respect to any series of notes, elect at our option and at any time to terminate our obligations under certain covenants (including the covenants described under "—Covenants—Change of Control," "—Covenants—Limitation on Liens" and "—Covenants—Reporting Requirements") ("Covenant Defeasance") that are described in the applicable Indenture and thereafter any failure to comply with those covenants or with the cross acceleration provision of the applicable Indenture will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (ii) and (iii), respectively of the first paragraph under "—Events of Default" with respect to such series of notes. We may exercise our Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our Covenant Defeasance option.

          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to a series of notes:

    (1)
    we must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the series of notes, cash in U.S. dollars, certain direct non-callable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of an internationally recognized investment bank chosen by us, appraisal firm or firm of independent registered public accountant, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes of the series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

    (2)
    in the case of Legal Defeasance, we shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) and independent of us to the effect that (A) we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of the issuance of the notes of the series, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that (and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that) the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

    (3)
    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, we shall have delivered to the Trustee, among other documents, an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) to the effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and

    (4)
    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit pursuant to clause (1) of this paragraph (other than a Default or Event of Default arising in connection with the grant of any Lien securing a borrowing of funds to be applicable to such deposit).

Satisfaction and Discharge

          The Indenture applicable to each series of notes will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to the series of notes governed by that Indenture (except with respect to

233



surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the applicable notes as expressly provided for in the applicable Indenture) when:

    (1)
    either:

    (a)
    all the notes of the series that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by our company and thereafter repaid to our company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

    (b)
    all notes of the series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds or certain direct non-callable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States, or a combination thereof, sufficient without reinvestment to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes of such series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes to the date of redemption or maturity, together with irrevocable instructions from us directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the date of redemption or maturity;

    (2)
    we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by our company under the applicable Indenture and the notes of the series (except for any indemnification obligations thereafter owing to the trustee); and

    (3)
    we have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under the applicable Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable Indenture have been complied with.

Notices

          Each Indenture provides that all notices will be deemed to have been given to the holders of any series of notes upon the mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such notices to holders at their registered addresses as recorded in the applicable register maintained for the series of notes. The Trustee shall, upon request and at our expense, forward to each registered holder of notes the reports received by the Trustee as described under "—Covenants—Reporting Requirements."

Amendments and Waivers

          Subject to certain exceptions, each Indenture provides that the notes of the series governed by it may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, those notes) and, subject to certain exceptions, any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, those notes). However, without the consent of each holder of the notes of a series affected thereby, no amendment, supplement or waiver may, among other things:

    (1)
    change any installment of interest with respect to any note of the series or reduce the principal amount of or interest with respect to any note of the series;

    (2)
    change cash prices at which the notes of the series may be redeemed by us;

234


    (3)
    change the currency in which, or change the required place at which, payment with respect to principal of or interest with respect to the notes of the series is payable;

    (4)
    after our obligation to purchase notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect our obligation to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event or, after such Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

    (5)
    change the time at which any note of the series may be redeemed; or

    (6)
    reduce the above-stated percentage of the principal amount of notes required to modify or amend the applicable Indenture or the terms or conditions of the notes of the series or to waive any future compliance or past Default or Event of Default.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder, we, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend the applicable Indenture and the notes of any series to:

    (1)
    cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

    (2)
    provide for the assumption of the obligations of our company or any Guarantor under the applicable Indenture;

    (3)
    provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

    (4)
    add a Guarantor or release a Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee or the applicable Indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Indenture;

    (6)
    add to the covenants of our company for the benefit of the holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon our company or a Guarantor;

    (7)
    make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder of the series;

    (8)
    comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the applicable Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

    (9)
    provide for the appointment of a successor trustee (provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of the applicable Indenture); or

    (10)
    provide for the issuance of exchange notes which shall have terms identical in all material respects to the notes exchanged therefor (except as to additional interest and that the transfer restrictions contained in such notes shall be modified or eliminated as appropriate) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding notes of the same series, as a single class of securities.

          The consent of the holders is not necessary under the Indentures to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or supplement. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under the applicable Indenture by any holder of notes given in connection with a tender of the holder's notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. After an amendment or supplement under the applicable Indenture becomes effective, we will be required to mail to the

235


holders affected by the amendment or supplement a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. However, the failure to give such notice to all of the affected holders or any defect in the notice will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement.

Governing Law

          The Indentures and the notes provide that they are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Trustee

          Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the Trustee under the Indentures and serves as the paying agent and registrar with respect to each series of notes and the calculation agent with respect to the 2010 floating rate notes. We and our affiliates may have normal banking relationships with the Trustee and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. The address of the Trustee is Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, 60 Wall Street, 27th Floor, MS:NYC 60-2710, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Trust & Securities Services.

          Each Indenture contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility. The obligations of the Trustee to any holder of notes are subject to such immunities and rights as are set forth in the applicable Indenture. The Trustee and any of its affiliates may hold notes in their own respective names. The Trustee is not responsible for any of the disclosures contained in this prospectus, other than the description of the Trustee.

BOOK-ENTRY SETTLEMENT AND CLEARANCE

The Global Notes

          The notes are represented by global notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons (collectively, the "global notes").

          The global notes have been deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

          Ownership of beneficial interests in each global note is limited to persons who have accounts with DTC ("DTC participants") or persons who hold interests through DTC participants. We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

    upon deposit of each global note with DTC's custodian, DTC will credit portions of the principal amount of the global note to the accounts of the DTC participants; and

    ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be shown on, and transfer of ownership of those interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC participants) and the records of DTC participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global note).

          Beneficial interests in the global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.

Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes

          All interests in the global notes will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream. We provide the following summaries of those operations and procedures solely for the convenience of investors. The operations and procedures of each settlement system are controlled by that settlement system and may be changed at any time. We are not responsible for those operations or procedures. DTC has advised us that it is:

    a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

    a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law;

    a member of the Federal Reserve System;

    a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and

    a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

          DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies; clearing corporations and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC's system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.

          So long as DTC's nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indentures. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:

    will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names;

237


    will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and

    will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indentures for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee under the indentures.

          As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indentures (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).

          Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the notes represented by a global note will be made by the Trustee to DTC's nominee as the registered holder of the global note. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a global note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to those interests.

          Payments by participants and indirect participants in DTC to the owners of beneficial interests in a global note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of those participants or indirect participants and DTC.

          Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants and to clear and settle transactions between its participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear performs various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interacts with domestic securities markets in several countries.

          Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its customers and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its customers through electronic book-entry transfers between their accounts. Clearstream provides its customers with, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interacts with domestic securities markets in several countries through established depository and custodial relationships.

          Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way under the rules and operating procedures of those systems.

          Cross-market transfers between DTC participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected within DTC through the DTC participants that are acting as depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream. To deliver or receive an interest in a global note held in a Euroclear or Clearstream account, an investor must send transfer instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, under the rules and procedures of that system and within the established deadlines of that system. If the transaction meets its settlement requirements, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will send instructions to its DTC depositary to take action to effect final settlement by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment under normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the DTC depositaries that are acting for Euroclear or Clearstream.

          Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant that purchases an interest in a global note from a DTC participant will be credited on the

238



business day for Euroclear or Clearstream immediately following the DTC settlement date. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream from the sale of an interest in a global note to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following the DTC settlement date.

          DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in those settlement systems. However, the settlement systems are not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their participants or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Notes

          Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:

    DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;

    DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;

    we, at our option, notify the Trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated notes; or

    certain other events provided in the indentures should occur.

239



CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

          The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of notes as of the date hereof.

          Except where noted, this summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets, and does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:

    a dealer in securities or currencies;

    a financial institution;

    a regulated investment company;

    a real estate investment trust;

    a tax-exempt organization;

    an insurance company;

    a person holding the notes as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle;

    a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

    a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

    a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes;

    a person whose "functional currency" is not the U.S. dollar;

    a "controlled foreign corporation";

    a "passive foreign investment company"; or

    a United States expatriate.

          This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below.

          If a partnership holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding notes, you should consult your tax advisors.

          This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. If you are considering the purchase of notes, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular United States federal income tax consequences to you of the ownership of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Consequences to United States Holders

          The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences that will apply to you if you are a United States Holder of notes.

240


          Certain consequences to "Non-United States Holders" of notes, which are beneficial owners of notes (other than partnerships) who are not United States Holders, are described under "—Consequences to Non-United States Holders" below.

          "United States Holder" means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

    an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Payments of Interest

          Interest on a note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for tax purposes.

Market Discount

          If you purchase a note for an amount that is less than its principal amount, the amount of the difference will be treated as "market discount" for United States federal income tax purposes, unless that difference is less than a specified de minimis amount. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, a note as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that you have not previously included in income and are treated as having accrued on the note at the time of its payment or disposition.

          In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness attributable to the note. You may elect, on a note-by-note basis, to deduct the deferred interest expense in a tax year prior to the year of disposition. You should consult your own tax advisors before making this election.

          Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless you elect to accrue on a constant interest method. You may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant interest method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply.

Amortizable Bond Premium

          If you purchase a note for an amount in excess of its principal amount, you will be considered to have purchased the note at a "premium." You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on disposition of the note.

241


Sale, Exchange and Retirement of Notes

          Your tax basis in a note will, in general, be your cost for that note, increased by market discount that you previously included in income, and reduced by any amortized premium. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued interest that you did not previously include in income, which will be taxable as interest income) and the adjusted tax basis of the note. Except as described above with respect to market discount, that gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Capital gains of individuals derived in respect of capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Certain Contingent Payments

          We believe and this tax discussion assumes that the notes are not contingent payment debt instruments for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the possibility of interest adjustments on the notes in the event our debt rating is downgraded (see "Description of the Notes—Interest Rate Adjustment"). The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), however, may take the position that the notes are contingent payment debt instruments. If such a position were taken and sustained, the timing of your recognition of interest income could be materially affected. In addition, any gain upon a sale or other taxable disposition of such a note generally will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income and any loss will be an ordinary loss to the extent of the interest previously included in gross income by you with respect to the note, and thereafter, as a capital loss. You are urged to consult your tax advisors with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences to you of the treatment of the notes as contingent payment debt instruments.

Consequences to Non-United States Holders

          The following is a summary of certain United States federal income and estate tax consequences that will apply to you if you are a Non-United States Holder of notes.

United States Federal Withholding Tax

          The 30% United States federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of interest on the notes under the "portfolio interest rule," provided that:

    interest paid on the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

    you do not actually (or constructively) own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock within the meaning of the Code and applicable United States Treasury regulations;

    you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through stock ownership;

    you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

    either (a) you provide your name and address on an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form), and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person as defined under the Code or (b) you hold your notes through certain foreign intermediaries and satisfy the certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations.

          Special certification rules apply to Non-United States Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

242


          If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed:

    IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty; or

    IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) stating that interest paid on the notes is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (as discussed below under "—United States Federal Income Tax").

          The 30% United States federal withholding tax generally will not apply to payment of principal or any gain that you realize on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of a note.

United States Federal Income Tax

          If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment), then you will be subject to United States federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% United States federal withholding tax, provided the certification requirements discussed above in "—United States Federal Withholding Tax" are satisfied) generally in the same manner as if you were a United States person as defined under the Code. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of such interest, subject to adjustments.

          Any gain realized on the disposition of a note generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

    the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment); or

    you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met.

United States Federal Estate Tax

          Your estate will not be subject to United States federal estate tax on notes beneficially owned by you at the time of your death, provided that any payment to you on the notes would be eligible for exemption from the 30% United States federal withholding tax under the "portfolio interest rule" described above under "—United States Federal Withholding Tax" without regard to the statement requirement described in the fifth bullet point of that section.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

United States Holders

          In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal and interest on the notes and to the proceeds of the sale of a note paid to you (unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation). A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status, or if you fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

243


          Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished in a timely manner to the IRS.

Non-United States Holders

          Generally, we must report to the IRS and to you the amount of interest paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

          In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to interest payments on the notes that we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code, and we have received from you the statement described above in the fifth bullet point under "—Consequences Non-United States Holders—United States Federal Withholding Tax."

          Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale (including retirement or redemption) of our notes within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless you certify under penalty of perjury that you are a Non-United States Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code) or you otherwise establish an exemption.

          Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished in a timely manner to the IRS.

244



CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

          The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the acquisition of the notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of ERISA, plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S., or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, "Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of such plans, accounts and arrangements (each, a "Plan").

          Section 406 of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code ("ERISA Plans") from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or the Code. The acquisition and/or holding notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we or the subsidiary guarantors are considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions or "PTCEs," that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the notes although there can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

          Governmental plans and certain church and non-United States plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to Similar Laws.

          Accordingly, by acceptance of a note, you and any of your subsequent transferees of a note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (1) no portion of the assets used by you or your transferee to acquire and hold the notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (2) the acquisition and holding of the notes by you or your transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

          The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering acquiring and holding the notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to that investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the acquisition and holding of the notes.

245

EXPERTS

          The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (successor) and the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 (predecessor) included in this prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes explanatory paragraphs referring to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 in 2007 and to a change of basis of accounting in 2006) and have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

          On May 7, 2006, we informed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP of our decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm effective as of January 1, 2006. Our decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors.

          PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

          During the year ended December 31, 2005, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on our financial statements for such years.

          During the year ended December 31, 2005, there were no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v), except that there were material weaknesses in controls, as discussed under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Understanding Our Financial Results—Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements," because we did not properly interpret and apply various components of accounting literature in relation to certain complex accounting transactions regarding (1) transfer of assets, (2) hedge accounting, (3) incentive compensation, (4) syndication fees and (5) valuation of mortgage loans held for sale.

247


          We have requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provide us with a letter to the SEC stating whether or not PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP agrees with the disclosures related to it above. A copy of such letter, dated March 14, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

          On March 23, 2006, with the approval of the audit committee of our board of directors, we engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm, effective January 1, 2006.

          We did not consult with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K prior to their appointment.

Annex A


GLOSSARY OF INDUSTRY TERMS

ABS or Asset-Backed Security   A financial security backed by a loan, lease or receivables against assets other than real estate and mortgage-backed securities.

Bridge Loan or Interim Loan

 

A type of short- or medium-term loan. Bridge loans are often used in the commercial real estate industry to provide short- or medium-term financing for commercial properties that are being repositioned, that have not achieved stabilized occupancy or that require a more complex long-term financing arrangement.

CDE or Community Development Entity

 

A CDE is a domestic corporation or partnership that is a special purpose entity that provides loans, investments, or financial counseling in low-income communities. Benefits of being certified as a CDE include being able to apply to the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund to receive a new markets tax credit allocation to offer to investors in exchange for equity investments or to receive loans or investments from other CDEs that have received new markets tax credit allocations.

CDO or Collateralized Debt Obligation

 

A structured financing product that securitizes a pool of variously rated bonds and other debt instruments, including high yield securities, into multiple classes of notes based upon the cash flow of the pool. The notes issued by a CDO are tranched into rated and unrated classes. The rating determines the notes' position in the priority of payments. Payments of principal and interest are generally made sequentially based upon the cash flow of the underlying pool.

CMBS or Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security

 

A financial security that is backed by principal and interest payments generated by a pool of commercial mortgage loans.

A-1



Conduit

 

A government or private organization that assembles mortgage and other loans into a large pool and issues "pass-through" or "pay-through" securities in its own name to investors. The first mortgage conduits were established by Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac. Private sector conduits have been organized by financial institutions and mortgage insurance companies to issue securities backed by mortgages and other loans without federal agency guarantee. Mortgage conduits make it easier for a large number of banks and thrifts to sell their loans to secondary market investors, because smaller lenders are not limited by pool size or eligibility restrictions.

Construction Loan

 

A short-term real estate mortgage loan used to finance building costs. Advances are made under construction loans as needed or in accordance with a prearranged plan. Typically, during the term of the loan, only interest is paid on amounts actually advanced, with the entire borrowing repaid upon completion of the project, usually from the proceeds of permanent financing.

Delegated Underwriting and Servicing, or DUS™ program

 

A program of Fannie Mae under which Fannie Mae accepts the purchase of loans from approved sellers/servicers who have been delegated authority for ensuring that the loans being sold to Fannie Mae satisfy the underwriting and other eligibility requirements established by Fannie Mae from time to time without Fannie Mae's prior review. In exchange for this delegation of authority and the opportunity to act as servicer of the loan until it is repaid, the loan seller assumes the risk of a portion of losses that may result from a borrower's payment default.

Fannie Mae

 

The Federal National Mortgage Association, a federally chartered association that was created by the United States Congress in 1938 to assist the housing industry during the Great Depression. Fannie Mae was privatized in 1968.

FHA

 

The Federal Housing Administration, an agency of HUD.

Freddie Mac

 

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a federally chartered corporation that buys mortgage loans from lenders and resells them as securities in the secondary mortgage market.

A-2



Ginnie Mae

 

The Government National Mortgage Association, a wholly-owned United States government corporation that is an agency of HUD. The main focus of Ginnie Mae is to ensure liquidity for United States government-insured mortgages including those insured by the FHA. Ginnie Mae does not issue, sell or buy mortgage-backed securities, nor does it purchase mortgage loans. Rather, it guarantees to investors who purchase mortgage-backed securities the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities they have purchased. Ginnie Mae securities are the only mortgage-backed securities to carry the full faith and credit guarantee of the United States government.

GSE or Government Sponsored Enterprise

 

Privately held entities with public purposes that have been created by the United States Congress to reduce the cost of capital for certain borrowing sectors of the economy. Examples of GSEs include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

HUD

 

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

LIHTC or Low-Income Housing Tax Credit

 

Tax credits that are provided through a federal program that was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 in order to promote the production of low-income housing.

Master Servicing

 

Master servicers are appointed in connection with securitization transactions. Master servicers are responsible for the oversight of primary servicers and provide liquidity for a securitization transaction by advancing principal and interest, as well as certain property protection expenses, on delinquent loans when certain requirements are met.

Mezzanine Loan

 

Mezzanine loans are secured by a pledge of the borrower's equity interests in the entity that owns the financed property (rather than a mortgage lien on the property itself.) They also may have as additional security a subordinated mortgage lien on the property. If an event of default occurs, the mezzanine lender generally may foreclose on the pledged equity interests and become the indirect owner of the property, subject to the first mortgage debt.

NMTC or New Markets Tax Credit

 

Tax credits that are provided through a federal program that is designed to increase the availability of investment capital in low-income communities.

Participation

 

An interest in a loan owned by a person who becomes a contractual counterparty of the lender, but not the borrower.

A-3



Primary Servicing

 

The responsibilities of a primary servicer typically include: collecting principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers; remitting and reporting to a master servicer; and monitoring delinquent and problem loans, which may be transferred to the special servicer for direct handling. For commercial properties, which include multifamily properties, primary servicers are also responsible for performing property inspections and collecting and analyzing property financial statements.

Qualifying Special Purpose Entity

 

An entity that is commonly used in off-balance sheet securitization transactions. A QSPE must have a distinct standing from the seller of securitized assets and may not be dissolved, wound up or terminated by the seller. A QSPE's activities are governed by guidelines set by at least a majority of the beneficial interest holders, other than the seller and its affiliates. This requirement minimizes the seller's control over the entity's activities on an ongoing basis. A QSPE generally is permitted to hold only certain types of assets and there are limitations on a QSPE's ability to sell its assets.

Relative Value

 

A measurement of the attractiveness of an investment opportunity relative to another investment opportunity based on risk, liquidity and return.

RMBS or Residential Mortgage-Backed Security

 

A financial security that is backed by principal and interest payments generated by a pool of residential (one-to-four family properties) mortgage loans.

Securitization

 

The transfer of designated pools of assets with a specific level of credit enhancement to a special purpose entity that issues interests in the entity that are collateralized by the underlying pool of assets and the income stream associated with those assets. Securitizations generally provide liquid markets for illiquid assets and allow sellers of assets to improve pricing terms due to the benefits associated with selling a diversified pool of assets.

Servicing

 

The performance of contractually specified administrative functions with respect to a loan or a securitization transaction. Duties of a servicer typically include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic reports and managing insurance. In return for this assistance, a servicer is generally compensated with a specific fee outlined in the contract established prior to the commencement of the servicing activities. Mortgage servicing rights may be bought and sold, resulting in the transfer of administrative obligations.

A-4



Special Servicing

 

Special servicers are responsible for enhancing recoveries on non-performing loans and real estate owned assets. Loans are transferred to a special servicer based on predetermined delinquency or other performance measures.

Syndication

 

The transfer of a portion of the lender's interest in a loan to a person who becomes a contractual counterparty of the borrower.

Whole Loan Sale

 

The sale of a full interest in a loan.

A-5

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Capmark Financial Group Inc.
Horsham, Pennsylvania

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capmark Financial Group Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (successor) and the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 (predecessor). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (successor) and for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 (predecessor) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

          As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as of January 1, 2007, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes to conform to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.

          As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as of March 23, 2006, the Company changed its basis of accounting in connection with the business combination in which the Company pushed down the purchase price in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54, Application of "Push Down" Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries Acquired by Purchase.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Operations

        Capmark Financial Group Inc. (the "Company") is a leading commercial real estate finance company that operates in North America, Asia and Europe in three core business lines: commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking; investments and funds management; and servicing. As a commercial real estate finance specialist, the Company provides its borrowers, investors and other customers with a broad range of commercial real estate financial products and services which are tailored to its customers' particular needs. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had over 2,000 employees located in 57 offices worldwide.

          The Company, formerly known as GMAC Commercial Holding Corp., was a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of General Motors Acceptance Corporation ("GMAC"), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation ("GM"). On March 23, 2006, a subsidiary of GMAC sold a 78 percent equity interest in the Company to an investor group led by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP, Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Dune Capital Management LP (collectively, the "Investor Group") in exchange for approximately $1.5 billion in cash. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the percentage ownership interests of both the Investor Group and GMAC were reduced proportionately by the sale of common stock to employees of Capmark who acquired an initial equity interest of approximately four percent. As a result of subsequent issuances of common stock to additional employees and non-employee directors (collectively, "Management Stockholders"), less repurchases of common stock from employees no longer with the Company, the Investor Group owns a majority interest of approximately 74 percent, Management Stockholders own an equity interest of approximately five percent and a subsidiary of GMAC owns an equity interest of approximately 21 percent as of December 31, 2007. The aforementioned changes in ownership will be referred to as the "Sponsor Transactions" in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

          The Company primarily operates through the following subsidiaries:

          Capmark Finance Inc. ("Capmark Finance"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, originates and sells commercial mortgage loans primarily in the secondary mortgage market, and services these loans on an ongoing basis. Capmark Finance is an approved national lender and servicer of mortgage loans by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae").

          Capmark Capital Inc. ("Capmark Capital"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a holding company for the Company's broker/dealer and affordable housing operations. Capmark Securities Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capmark Capital, is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a general securities broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Capmark Affordable Equity Holdings Inc. ("Capmark Affordable Equity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capmark Capital, syndicates affordable housing investment partnerships and specializes in the organization, formation and management of real estate investment partnerships that acquire equity interests in affordable housing projects that generate low-income housing tax credits and historic tax credits provided under Sections 42 and 48 of the Internal Revenue Code. Capmark Affordable Equity derives the majority of its revenue from the syndication of both guaranteed and non-guaranteed real estate tax credit funds and the management of affordable housing tax credit partnerships. Capmark Affordable Equity is no longer

F-10



originating new affordable housing partnerships and is focused on management of existing affordable housing partnerships and on the syndication to investors of its existing inventory of un-syndicated investments. See Note 3 for disclosure of the sale of a majority of Capmark Capital's affordable housing debt platform.

          Capmark Investments LP ("Capmark Investments"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capmark Finance, makes real estate debt and equity investments on behalf of the Company and for pension plans, investment funds, insurance companies, other institutions and high net worth individuals. Capmark Investments is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

          Capmark Bank, Escrow Bank USA ("Escrow Bank") and Capmark Bank Europe, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, engage in commercial banking activities. Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are industrial banks chartered by the State of Utah. Capmark Bank Europe is an Irish bank. Capmark Bank accepts deposits in the form of time and money market deposits and issues non-callable and callable fixed rate certificates of deposit in the brokered deposit market. Escrow Bank accepts deposits of principal, interest, escrow and reserve balances that borrowers maintain in custodial accounts for the purpose of paying principal and interest on their loans and funding repairs, tenant improvements, taxes and insurance on the properties that are financed with their loans. A portion of these deposits are eligible for investment as deposits at Capmark Bank and these deposits also provide the Company with an alternative form of financing. Capmark Bank Europe also accepts time deposits from other financial institutions. The deposits maintained by Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are eligible for insurance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank are subject to regulation and periodic examination by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC and must pay applicable FDIC insurance premiums and comply with applicable capital adequacy requirements, limitations on transactions with affiliates, provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and Regulations of the Federal Reserve. Capmark Bank Europe is required to comply with various laws, rules and regulations in Ireland, including capital adequacy requirements, administrative notices implementing European Union Directives relating to business activities carried out by credit institutions and supplementary requirements and standards that are from time to time established by financial regulators. See Note 26 for disclosure of certain regulatory matters.

          The Company performs certain lending, real estate investment and servicing activities in Europe and Asia. Due to recent disruptions in the credit markets, the Company has recently curtailed its proprietary lending activities in Europe.

2. Risks and Uncertainties

        The Company's primary business risks include: (i) credit risk, (ii) liquidity risk, (iii) interest rate and other market risks, and (iv) operational risk. Management of these risks affects both the level and stability of the Company's earnings.

          The Company's primary exposure to credit risk arises from its direct and indirect relationships with borrowers who may default and potentially cause the Company to incur a loss if it is unable to collect amounts due through loss mitigation strategies, and from institutional counterparties to the extent they do not fulfill their obligations to the Company under the terms of specific contracts or agreements. Changes in credit risk are evaluated in the context of estimating the allowance for loan

F-11



losses, as discussed in Notes 3 and 6, and in estimating the fair values of investment securities and mortgage loans held for sale, as discussed in Notes 3, 4 and 5. Negative trends in the financial position of borrowers, values of collateral underlying loans, and delinquencies and defaults on loans may materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations.

          Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will be unable to preserve stable, reliable, and cost-effective funding sources to meet all near-term and projected long-term financial obligations. The Company's external funding sources consist primarily of its unsecured senior notes; committed unsecured funding provided by banks, including a senior credit facility, a bridge loan and other bank loans; committed unsecured debt including junior subordinated debentures; secured funding facilities including repurchase agreements and other secured funding facilities; and other uncommitted funding sources, including time deposits and certificates of deposit issued by the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiaries and other unsecured funding provided by third-party banks. These financing arrangements provide a diverse source of short-term and long-term funding and allow the Company to borrow on a secured and unsecured basis, in a variety of currencies and at interest rates that are fixed or floating, in various geographic locations. Factors that are significant to the determination of the Company's credit ratings or otherwise affect its ability to raise financing include the level and volatility of earnings, degree of leverage, relative competitive position, risk management policies, cash liquidity, capital adequacy, ability to retain key personnel, and legal, regulatory and tax developments. In the event that any or all of the Company's credit ratings were downgraded, the ability to raise financing could be adversely affected and the cost of capital could increase significantly. In addition, because amounts of interest that are payable on the Company's borrowings under its senior credit facility and bridge loan are determined by, among other factors, reference to its credit ratings, a credit ratings downgrade could adversely impact the Company's financing costs and results of operations. A credit ratings downgrade could also make it more difficult or costly for the Company to enter into hedging transactions and could possibly increase the amount of collateral that the Company would be required to provide counterparties under its secured contractual obligations.

          Developments in the U.S. residential mortgage market, including increased delinquencies on residential mortgage loans and the insolvencies of subprime mortgage companies and hedge funds, have expanded to uncertainties and disruptions in the debt capital markets as a whole. These uncertainties have led to an overall reduction in liquidity in the debt capital markets, including sources of liquidity that the Company utilizes, such as securitizations and other sales of commercial mortgage loans, real estate investments and other assets and unsecured and secured debt financing arrangements. The Company has experienced a decline in the fair value of its mortgage loans and real estate-related investments that has caused the Company to hold such loans and investments for a longer period of time or to sell them at lower values than anticipated. This has resulted in a decrease in the net gains the Company has realized on the sale of these assets and downward valuation adjustments taken on its loan and investment portfolios.

          The Company's primary exposure to interest rate and other market risks is associated with its portfolio of mortgage loans and investment securities. Changes in the level of interest rates or changes in yield curves, as well as basis risk resulting from changes in the interest rate spread between different financial instruments, could adversely affect the estimated fair value of the Company's portfolio of mortgage loans and investment securities and its net income. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect the Company's earnings and the value of

F-12



certain assets and liabilities. As discussed in Note 18, the Company manages interest rate and other market risks through the use of derivative instruments and other risk mitigation strategies.

          The Company continues to monitor market conditions and manages its mortgage loan origination and real estate investment activities to adapt to the current environment. These actions have included adjusting the prices and terms of newly originated loans, as well as adjusting the mix of originations among geographic regions and product types to emphasize products with better liquidity and lower funding costs, including agency and third party originations and mortgage loans funded by Capmark Bank.

          Due to adverse market conditions in the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company recorded aggregate valuation charges of $289.7 million related to its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2007, which includes a lower of cost or market ("LOCOM") valuation adjustment of $222.1 million.

          Operational risk is the risk resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems, facilities, human factors or external events such as information technology and organizational structure issues, weaknesses in internal controls, human error, fraud, and external threats.

3. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. The Company's estimates and assumptions are affected by risks and uncertainties associated with credit exposure and interest rate and market spread volatility. Management uses available information in developing estimates and assumptions. Future changes in credit and market trends and conditions may occur which could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

          The Company consolidates all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries that it controls. In certain cases, economic ownership interests and control do not strictly align and there are other specific consolidation criteria that must be applied under GAAP, and in those cases the Company follows the accounting policies discussed below.

          The Company sells assets to and has involvement with special purpose entities, some of which are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51," or "FIN 46R," a VIE is consolidated by the entity holding the variable interest that will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, or both. The entity that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the "primary beneficiary."

          The identification of the primary beneficiary involves a number of assumptions and estimates about the economics of the VIE and the variable interest holders. Where the Company has determined that it does not have a sufficiently large variable interest to be a potential primary

F-13


beneficiary or that it is the only variable interest holder with a sufficiently large interest, the Company determines the primary beneficiary using a qualitative approach based on the estimated economics of the VIE. Otherwise, the Company uses a quantitative approach, allocating estimated cash flows to each variable interest holder based on seniority of each of the cash flow scenarios that are probability weighted and used to determine the VIE's expected losses and expected residual returns.

          For investment partnerships and similar entities (e.g., limited liability corporations) in which the Company serves as general partner or managing member through one of its subsidiaries, the Company follows the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 04-5, "Determining whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity when the Limited Partners have Certain Rights," or "EITF 04-5," to determine whether it needs to consolidate these entities. Generally, if the limited partners or non-managing members of these entities have substantive rights to remove the Company through one of its subsidiaries as the general partner or managing member or to cause the entity to be liquidated, or have other substantive participating rights, the Company does not consolidate these entities. If the limited partners or non-managing members do not have such rights, the Company consolidates the entities.

          All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the United States of America are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, a component of stockholders' equity.

          Assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the consolidated balance sheet.

          Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income, stockholders' equity, and cash and cash equivalents.

    Business Combination

          The Sponsor Transactions were accounted for as a purchase as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," or "SFAS No. 141," and the purchase price was pushed down to the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54, "Application of 'Push Down' Basis of Accounting in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries Acquired by Purchase." Accordingly, the purchase price paid by the Investor Group, plus related purchase accounting adjustments, have been reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods beginning March 23, 2006. This resulted in a new basis of accounting that reflects the estimated fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, to the extent of the combined 79 percent ownership interest acquired by the Investor Group and Management Stockholders. Because of the continuing residual interest retained by GMAC, its 21 percent ownership interest continues to be reflected at its

F-14


historical basis. Information for all periods prior to March 23, 2006 is presented using the historical basis of accounting. On March 21, 2006, in contemplation of the Sponsor Transactions, the Company's board of directors declared a cash distribution, which was considered a return of capital, in the amount of $69.1 million.

          As a result of the Sponsor Transactions, the periods prior to March 23, 2006, for which the Company's results of operations and cash flows are presented, are reported as "Predecessor" periods. The periods beginning March 23, 2006, for which the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flows are presented, are reported as "Successor" periods.

          The following table summarizes the push down and other adjustments made to the Company's historical balance sheet in connection with the Sponsor Transactions (in thousands):

    Operations Held for Sale

          In February 2007, the Company sold a majority of its affordable housing debt platform to an unaffiliated buyer for approximately $500 million in cash. The buyer also assumed approximately $700 million of financing obligations associated with the affordable housing debt platform bringing the total sale price to approximately $1.2 billion. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $65.3 million and reported the gain as a component of "other net gains" in the consolidated statement of income. The Company retained approximately $300 million of investment securities associated with the affordable housing debt platform that were not included in the sale. Assets totaling $1.1 billion and liabilities totaling $0.7 billion were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. The earnings and cash flows of the entire affordable housing debt platform are fully consolidated in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods prior to the sale. The affordable housing debt platform was included in the North American Affordable Housing business segment. See Note 25 for segment information.

          In April 2007, the Company sold its wholly-owned technology subsidiary, EnableUS, Inc. to an unaffiliated buyer. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $2.1 million. The assets and liabilities of this subsidiary were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. The earnings and cash flows of this subsidiary are fully consolidated in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods prior to the sale. The subsidiary was included in the North American Servicing business segment. See Note 25 for segment information.

          As of December 31, 2006, these operations were classified as held for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" or "SFAS No. 144." The portion of the affordable housing debt platform classified as held for sale was not classified as a discontinued operation because its operations and cash flows could not be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The EnableUS, Inc. subsidiary was not classified as a discontinued operation because it was considered to be immaterial.

F-16


          The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities of the portion of the affordable housing debt platform and the wholly-owned technology subsidiary that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

 
  Affordable housing debt platform
  Wholly-owned technology subsidiary
  Total
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and accounts and other receivables   $ 13,401   $ 2,127   $ 15,528
Investment securities     995,635         995,635
Loans held for sale     13,174         13,174
Mortgage servicing rights     39,908         39,908
Goodwill and other intangible assets     21,163     3,756     24,919

Total liabilities related to operations held for sale   $ 706,412   $ (6,643 ) $ 699,769
   
 
 

          These operations were assessed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144. As a result, an impairment charge of $0.2 million, related to the EnableUS, Inc. subsidiary, was recognized and reported as goodwill impairment in the consolidated statement of income for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

Significant Accounting Policies

    Use of Estimates

          The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenue and expense. The Company has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well-controlled, reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. Management bases their estimates on historical corporate and industry experience and various other assumptions they believe are appropriate under the circumstances, including market-based inputs when available. Certain of the Company's critical accounting estimates require higher degrees of judgment and are more complex than others in their application. For all of these estimates, future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and, therefore, routinely require adjustment.

    Valuation of Loans Held for Sale

          Mortgage loans held for sale consist of domestic and international, fixed and floating rate loans that are secured by commercial and multifamily real estate properties. Mortgage loans are typically classified as held for sale at the time of origination in accordance with SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," or "SFAS No. 65." Following their origination,

F-17


these loans remain classified as held for sale unless a change occurs in the Company's ability or intent to hold such loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The Company regularly reviews the appropriateness of its loan classifications based on a number of factors, including market demand for the Company's loan products, liquidity needs and corporate objectives.

          The Company's portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of larger balance commercial mortgage loans. For valuation purposes this portfolio is divided into nine distinct pools, based upon geographic location, loan type (fixed or floating rate), and exit strategy. These pools are consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 65, which requires that the fair value of a loan should be determined by type of loan, and specifies that either the aggregate or individual loan basis may be used in determining the lower of cost or fair value for each type of loan. The Company utilizes the aggregate basis within each of its nine pools.

          A current fair value for each individual loan is determined with emphasis that the fair value of an asset is a market-based measurement which should be determined based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the loan. The Company accounts for its mortgage loans held for sale at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value taking into consideration the aggregate value of each of the nine pools. Therefore, the Company's operating results are negatively affected by changes in the fair value if one or more of its loan pools are valued lower than amortized cost.

          The fair value of the Company's loan portfolio is generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including updated securitization spreads where appropriate, interest rates, whole loan spreads for each property type based on loan-to-value ratios of collateral and other factors, and bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. In addition, the impact of potential extensions, interest-rate floors and unfunded commitments on the Company's floating rate loan portfolio is taken into consideration when determining the fair value for each loan. The Company also considers adverse changes in borrowers' credit status and the fair value of collateral in estimating the fair value of certain loans. Although the Company bases its loan valuations on observable inputs to the extent possible, the valuations are estimates. Changes in market conditions, borrower credit-worthiness and collateral values between the dates of management's estimates and the dates of disposition of the loans can have a significant impact on the amounts ultimately realized upon disposition. As discussed in Note 2, the estimated fair value of the Company's portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale declined substantially in the latter half of 2007.

          Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is accrued until the loans become 60 days contractually delinquent at which time accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income.

Loan Sales and Securitizations

          The Company periodically enters into transactions in which it sells financial assets, principally commercial mortgage loans. Upon a transfer of financial assets, the Company sometimes retains or acquires subordinated interests in the related assets. In addition, the Company generally retains servicing rights for all mortgage loans sold or securitized.

F-18


          Gains and losses on such transactions are recognized using the guidance in SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125," or "SFAS No. 140," which is based on a financial components approach that focuses on control. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.

          The gain or loss on sale is determined by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage loans between securities or loans sold and the interests retained, including mortgage servicing rights, based on their fair values. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. Whether the Company records a gain or loss on sale depends, in part, on the carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the interests retained based on their fair values at the date of transfer.

          Due to recent market developments summarized in Note 2, the volume of loan sales and securitizations declined in the latter half of 2007, significantly decreasing the Company's realized gains compared to historical norms. Realization of gains or losses on future sales is heavily dependent on the extent and timing of recovery of the markets for commercial mortgage products and changes in other market factors. See "Valuation of Loans Held for Sale" above.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

          The allowance for loan losses provides for the risk of losses inherent in the Company's portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is used to cover estimated losses on loans that have been specifically identified as being impaired.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15," or "SFAS No. 114," impaired loans typically consist of those loans for which it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all contractual principal and interest amounts due. An impaired loan is generally valued based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and includes estimated costs of selling or realizing such collateral on a discounted basis. In addition to specific allowances for impaired loans, the Company also maintains general allowances that are based upon a collective evaluation of the portfolio as a whole and estimates such losses in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," or "SFAS No. 5." This analysis considers the Company's past loan loss experience, the current credit composition of the total portfolio, historical credit migration, property type diversification, default and loss severity statistics, and other relevant factors.

          The allowance for loan losses is increased as necessary by recording a charge to the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Amounts recovered on previously charged-off loans are added back to the allowance for loan losses.

          Uncertainties about the economies in the Company's primary market areas, including the United States, increase uncertainty about management's estimates of the allowance for loan losses. Increases in unemployment and/or low employment, decreases in corporate profits and adverse

F-19


trends in other key economic indicators may correlate with increasing loan delinquencies and other factors affecting the timing and amounts the Company ultimately realizes on its portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment.

    Income Recognition and Impairments Relating to Acquired Non-Performing and Under-Performing Loans

          The Company acquires non-performing and under-performing loans, primarily in Asia, with a strategy of restructuring the loans or entering into workouts with borrowers, which may include foreclosure. These loans are typically purchased at a substantial discount to par, reflecting the Company's determination that it is probable all amounts due under the loans' governing instruments may not be collected. These loans are accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer," or "SOP 03-3." Under SOP 03-3, the excess of the estimated undiscounted principal, interest and other cash flows expected to be collected over the initial investment in the acquired asset is accreted into interest income over the expected life of the asset. These loans are classified as held for investment in the consolidated balance sheet.

          The amount of accretion for such loans or pools of loans is adjusted when there is an increase or decrease in the expected cash flows. Further, the Company assesses impairment on such loans or pools of loans for which there has been a decrease in expected cash flows in accordance with SOP 03-3 and SFAS No. 114. Impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected cash flows from the loan discounted using the loan's effective interest rate or, in specific circumstances, through the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral minus the estimated costs of selling or realizing the underlying collateral. Impairment is recognized as a charge to the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income.

          The Company has curtailed purchases of non-performing and under-performing loans during 2007, and has been disposing of some of its previously-acquired investments in such loans. As a result, the Company's results of operations and financial condition are becoming less sensitive to changes in estimates of accretion and impairments on these loans than in prior periods.

    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

          The Company uses derivative instruments in connection with its risk management and investment activities. The Company's primary objective in utilizing derivative instruments is to minimize market risk volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks related to the assets and liabilities of the Company. Minimizing this volatility enables the Company to mitigate the impact of market risk on earnings. Additionally, the Company uses interest rate swaps to more closely match interest rate characteristics of its interest bearing liabilities with its interest earning assets. The Company also utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate foreign currency exposure related to foreign currency denominated transactions and its net investments in foreign operations. At times, the Company uses derivative instruments in lieu of cash transactions for investment purposes.

          The derivative instruments that the Company uses include swaps, caps, forwards, options, swaptions, spread locks, loan commitments, credit derivatives and treasury-related derivative instruments. These instruments may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

3. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        In accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted, among other pronouncements, by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," or "SFAS No. 149," the Company records derivative instruments at estimated fair value on its consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of such instruments are accounted for depending on whether or not they qualify for hedge accounting.

          The Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. For transactions that qualify for hedge accounting, this process includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value, cash flow, or foreign currency hedges to specific assets, or pools of similar assets, and specific liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet or to forecasted transactions.

          Each designated hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the designated risk during the hedge period. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in estimated fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.

          The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (3) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedge instrument because: a) it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; b) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or c) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value. The hedged asset or liability, if not normally carried at estimated fair value, will no longer be adjusted for changes in estimated fair value. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value and any asset or liability that was recorded pursuant to recognition of the firm commitment will be removed from the consolidated balance sheet and recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value and gains and losses that were accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, will be recognized immediately in current period earnings. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its estimated fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in its estimated fair value recognized in current period earnings.

    Classification, Valuation, and Impairment of Investment Securities Including Retained Interests in Securitized Assets

          When the Company securitizes mortgage loans in transactions accounted for as a sale in accordance with SFAS No. 140, it may retain an interest in the assets sold. These retained interests may take the form of interest-only, investment grade, subordinate, or unrated securities. The

F-21


subordinate interests that the Company retains provide a form of credit enhancement for the more highly-rated securities.

          In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," or "SFAS No. 115," the classification of investment securities is based on management's intent with respect to those securities. Investment securities classified as trading are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. Investment securities classified as available for sale are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, which is a component of stockholders' equity. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific identification method and recognized in current period earnings. Interest income is recorded using the interest method which is reviewed and adjusted periodically based on changes in estimated cash flows.

          Investment securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity are periodically reviewed for potential impairment in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets," or EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments," depending on the nature of the security. Impairment is measured using a systematic methodology intended to consider all available evidence. If the carrying value of an investment security exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the magnitude and duration of the decline in estimated fair value, the performance of the underlying assets, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the asset until its value recovers. Once a decline in estimated fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of income and a new cost basis is established.

          The recent market developments that have affected commercial mortgage valuations, as discussed in Note 2 and above, similarly affect valuations of investment securities collateralized by commercial mortgages.

    Valuation and Impairment of Mortgage Servicing Rights

          In accordance with SFAS No. 140, the Company capitalizes originated mortgage servicing rights based upon their fair value when the related loans are sold. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are recorded at their cost at the time of acquisition, which approximates the fair value of such assets. Subsequent to origination or acquisition, mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. Amortization expense is recorded for each stratum (as described more fully below) in proportion to, and over the period of, the projected net servicing cash flows.

          Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment by stratifying the portfolio according to predominant risk characteristics, primarily investor and loan type. To the extent that the carrying value of an individual stratum exceeds its estimated fair value, the mortgage servicing right asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment that is considered to be temporary is recognized through the establishment of a valuation allowance, with a corresponding charge to earnings in the period that the impairment is determined to have occurred. If the impairment is determined to be

F-22



other-than-temporary, the valuation allowance is reduced along with the carrying value of the mortgage servicing right.

          Gains and losses on sales of mortgage servicing rights are recognized when the related sales contracts have been executed and legal title and substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the servicing rights have passed to the buyer. Gains and losses are determined as the difference between the net sales proceeds received and the carrying value of the servicing rights sold less costs to sell.

          As of December 31, 2007, the Company has not recognized any valuation adjustments on its four principal strata of mortgage servicing rights. Generally, valuations of servicing rights for commercial mortgages are less sensitive to change than valuations of servicing rights for residential mortgages, due to lower levels of prepayments and other factors. Declines in values are most likely to occur in circumstances when both interest rates are declining and commercial real estate credit markets are competitive, or when defaults on underlying loans increase. In the current economic environment, availability of credit has declined, slowing prepayments, but there is increasing uncertainty about borrower performance. See "Allowance for Loan Losses" above.

    Liability for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Guarantees

          The Company syndicates limited partnership interests in affordable housing partnerships. These investments are in the form of limited partner ownership interests that are pooled into funds ("upper-tier funds"). These funds hold limited partner ownership interests in various operating partnerships that develop, own, and operate affordable housing properties throughout the United States. In certain upper-tier funds, the Company has guaranteed a specified rate of return to the investors. Returns to investors in the partnerships are principally derived from flow-through low-income housing tax credits and tax losses generated by underlying operating partnership entities ("lower-tier partnerships").

          Syndicated affordable housing partnerships that contain a guarantee are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements under the financing method in accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," or "SFAS No. 66." More specifically, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and equity investments (in the underlying operating partnership entities) of the guaranteed syndicated real estate partnerships are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Liabilities of the guaranteed syndicated real estate partnerships consist primarily of a financing liability, initially equal to the amount of equity contributed by each investor, payable to each tax credit fund investor. The financing liability, included as a component of real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, is extinguished over the life of the guaranteed syndicated real estate partnerships as annual tax benefits guaranteed to each investor are delivered.

          Returns to investors in the partnerships are principally derived from flow-through low-income housing tax credits and tax losses generated by underlying operating partnership entities. The Company is exposed to losses based on its limited partnership interests and to the investors in the guaranteed syndicated real estate partnerships for a specific guaranteed rate of return. The loss exposure represents the potential under-delivery of income tax benefits by the syndicated real estate partnership to the investors. In the event of a shortfall in the delivery of tax benefits to the investors, the Company is required to make cash payments to the investors of the syndicated affordable housing partnerships.

F-23


          Costs associated with maintaining the guaranteed yield are quantified initially, and then subsequently evaluated on a quarterly basis, in order to ensure that the recorded liability for each guaranteed tax credit fund is sufficient to cover repayment of principal plus the guaranteed yield to the investors. When deficiencies are identified for a tax credit fund, the liability is increased to cover the shortfall associated with that tax credit fund. The loss contingency policy is governed by SFAS No. 5, which requires establishment of a liability for losses when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The SFAS No. 5 liability is reduced as payments are made to settle it. When the Company applied push down accounting on March 23, 2006 as a result of the Sponsor Transactions, the Company recorded an estimate of the fair value of the guarantees, which was in excess of the liability determined under SFAS No. 5. The Company amortizes that excess using a systematic and rational method, which approximates straight-line over the period of delivery of the tax benefits to investors, except that amortization of the liability for a particular fund may be accelerated when certain events occur and result in partial settlement of the guarantee, such as the sale of a lower-tier partnership and related settlement with the guaranteed investors.

          The estimate of the fair value of the aforementioned guarantee liability recorded in push down accounting, and periodic estimates of SFAS No. 5 liabilities described above, involve significant estimates with varying degrees of uncertainty. Amounts ultimately realized as income by the Company as the liability for real estate syndication proceeds is reduced are uncertain as to timing, and the total amount realized over time depends on the operating performance of the lower-tier partnerships and the ability of the upper-tier partnerships to deliver tax credits and, in some cases, guaranteed yields, to investors. The Company has not originated any new lower-tier partnerships since 2005, and the remaining expected lives of the upper-tier partnerships vary from one to 15 years.

    Accounting for Income Taxes

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company had operated within the GM-controlled tax group under the principles of a tax-sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, the Company was generally treated as a standalone taxpayer, except with regard to foreign tax credits and net operating losses. The Company would receive credit for such attributes only if the GM group as a whole could utilize such benefits.

          Upon the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, the Company became deconsolidated from the GM-controlled tax group. Therefore, the Company is no longer an eligible member of the GM consolidated tax return for any periods after the date of the Sponsor Transactions. Thus, the Company is now liable for worldwide taxes based solely on its consolidated operations as a standalone taxpayer. Moreover, based on applicable tax rules, certain tax attributes represented by net operating losses and foreign tax credits were specifically allocated by GM to the Company in respect to an intercompany receivable due from GM. These amounts were reclassified as deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of the Sponsor Transactions date.

          The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," or "SFAS No. 109." On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," or "FIN 48," which clarifies SFAS No. 109 by defining the confidence level that

F-24



an income tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the tax effects of a position to be recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained solely on its technical merits. The "more-likely-than-not" threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized.

          As a result of adopting FIN 48, management reviewed the income tax positions it has recorded in the application of push down accounting and has evaluated the impact of EITF Issue No. 93-7, "Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination," or "EITF 93-7," as it relates to income tax exposures related to periods prior to the Sponsor Transactions. Under the guidance of EITF 93-7, the Company recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its Predecessor period tax liabilities as an increase to goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet. For its Successor period tax liabilities, the Company recorded the impact of adopting FIN 48 as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheet. Adjustments to tax liabilities subsequent to the adoption of FIN 48 (e.g., through actual or effective settlement) are recorded through income tax expense or through additional adjustments to goodwill depending on whether the liabilities arose from transactions prior to or after the Sponsor Transactions. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. See Note 15 for the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          The Company recognizes tax credits (net of any expected recapture) from its investments in unsyndicated LIHTC limited partnership interests and retained interests in syndicated LIHTC partnerships as an investor to the extent they are delivered to a lower-tier LIHTC partnership and reflected on its income tax return. These tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

    Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

          Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and in overnight investments. The Company also considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage and includes amounts required to be maintained in escrow under certain of the Company's debt obligations, amounts required to meet certain regulatory liquidity ratios, and cash held by the Company's consolidated low-income housing tax credit funds that is required to be held in accordance with third-party investor agreements.

    Loans Held for Investment

          Loans held for investment include domestic and international, fixed and floating rate loans secured by real estate which are not expected to be sold, and construction loans for multifamily projects, affordable housing projects and commercial buildings. Such loans are carried at amortized cost, net of deferred origination fees, costs and any associated premiums or discounts, less an allowance for loan losses. The Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until their maturity or payoff.

F-25


          Interest income on loans held for investment is accrued as earned. Interest income is generally accrued until the loans become 60 days contractually delinquent at which time accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income and interest income is subsequently recorded when collected. Loans return to an accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collected. Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recognized as yield adjustments over the life of the related loan pursuant to SFAS No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 13, 60, and 65 and a rescission of FASB Statement No. 17" or "SFAS No. 91."

    Real Estate Investments

          Real estate investments include real estate held for sale, held for investment and acquired through foreclosure. Real estate held for sale consists primarily of real estate owned by general partnerships that operate affordable housing projects where the Company is the general partner or has consolidated the affordable housing projects when it has been determined the Company is the primary beneficiary of the partnerships under FIN 46R. These partnerships are expected to be disposed of within one year. Real estate held for sale also includes other domestic and international real estate assets that are expected to be disposed of by sale within one year. The designation and carrying value of such assets are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell and is not depreciated. Real estate held for investment consists primarily of domestic and international office buildings, hotels, retail and distribution centers, multifamily properties, vacant land and parking lots. In addition, real estate held for investment consists of real estate owned by general partnerships that operate affordable housing projects where the Company is the general partner or has consolidated the affordable housing projects when it has been determined the Company is the primary beneficiary of the partnerships under FIN 46R. Real estate held for investment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and is periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at estimated fair value less costs to sell and subsequently carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell and any related valuation allowances.

    Equity Investments

          The Company acquires and holds non-marketable equity positions in certain real estate projects. Such equity positions are in the form of limited partnership and limited liability company investments and are accounted for under the equity method. The Company also holds non-marketable equity investments in CMBS, mezzanine debt and real estate investment funds accounted for under the equity method. The investments made by certain of these funds are carried by the funds at estimated fair value and, accordingly, the Company's equity in the earnings of the investees includes both net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses. Valuations of the underlying investments in such funds are subject to many of the same risks and uncertainties affecting the valuations of the Company's directly-owned commercial mortgage loans and investment securities, and the Company's operating results are affected to the extent of its equity interests in such funds.

          The Company also holds non-marketable equity investments in entities that invest in pools of performing, under-performing, and non-performing commercial loans and real estate assets,

F-26



including under-performing and non-performing commercial and mortgage loans. Under-performing and non-performing investments are purchased at discounts to par at a market yield that is commensurate with the related risk. Resolutions are typically accomplished through sale of the underlying collateral, discounted payoff, debt restructuring or foreclosure. Income is recognized as earned based on the Company's participation interest in the underlying equity method investment.

          Non-marketable equity investments that are not carried at fair value, as described above, are reviewed for impairment. In evaluating whether a decline in value of an equity investment is other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates the investee's ability to generate and sustain an earnings capacity that would support the carrying amount of the investment, as well as the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment until the temporary loss is recovered. When it is determined that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, the Company records a charge for the difference between the investment's carrying value and its fair value. Where it has concluded that a decline in value of an equity investment is temporary, the Company believes it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until it recovers and that the Company will fully realize the carrying amount in the equity investment.

    Goodwill

          Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" or "SFAS No. 142," goodwill is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level and is not amortized. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment as that term is defined in SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" or "SFAS No. 131." In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment as part of its annual review. The Company may also review goodwill for impairment more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, which is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis.

    Intangible Assets

          The Company holds intangible assets which primarily consist of customer relationships and contracts. These intangible assets were initially recorded at estimated fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, these intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 12 years.

    Interest Rate Lock Commitments

          The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to make loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is established prior to funding. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be classified as held for sale are considered derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 149 and are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair value. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments" or "SAB No. 105," the Company does not recognize the estimated fair value of IRLCs at the time of the rate lock. However, subsequent changes in estimated fair value from the time of the rate lock are recognized as assets or liabilities, with a corresponding adjustment recognized in current period earnings as a component of net gains

F-27


(losses) in the consolidated statement of income. The determination of the change in estimated fair value is based upon the value of the loans underlying the IRLCs and does not include an estimate of the future mortgage servicing rights that will arise when the loans are sold. From the date of rate lock, the Company is exposed to credit, spread and interest rate risk. To mitigate the Company's exposure to these risks, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to economically hedge these risks. The Company expects the changes in estimated fair value of these derivative instruments will offset the changes in estimated fair value of the IRLCs.

    Mezzanine Equity

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company issues common stock to Management Stockholders for estimated fair value. The shares are redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company classifies this equity in accordance with EITF Issue D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities," which requires that conditionally redeemable securities be classified outside of permanent stockholders' equity. Accordingly, the Company classifies these shares as mezzanine equity. There were 20,126,963 shares and 20,454,705 shares of common stock classified as mezzanine equity as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Stock-Based Compensation

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company implemented a stock option award program which provides Management Stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares of common stock at a specified price, once certain time-based and performance-based vesting conditions are met. The Company accounts for share-based payments issued to employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" or "SFAS No. 123R." This statement establishes the standards for accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives goods or employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the enterprise, or incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or employee services that are based on the estimated fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Accordingly, the Company measures the fair value of its option awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, which is estimated through a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

          The Company has classified these stock options as equity instruments under the guidelines of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with these equity instruments in the consolidated statement of income as a component of compensation and benefits for the portion of outstanding awards which are ultimately expected to vest. These instruments are amortized to expense over the requisite service period, which the Company considers to be the vesting period of the options.

    Earnings per share

          Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents,

F-28


consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

    Guarantees other than Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Guarantees

          For guarantees issued since January 1, 2003, the Company records liabilities equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee obligations undertaken. For guarantee obligations for which the Company receives fees in exchange for undertaking the obligation, the fees received are considered to be a measure of estimated fair value in accordance with FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," or "FIN 45."

          For mortgage loans originated under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program, the Company accounts for its exposure to loss under the service contract with Fannie Mae as a guarantee under FIN 45, recording a liability that approximates the cash flows deemed to represent compensation for the Company's guarantee or, if greater, the Company's expected loss.

    Financial Instruments

          In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" or "SFAS No. 107," the Company has provided fair value estimates and information about valuation methodologies in Note 17. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information or valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value; therefore, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may materially impact the fair value amounts.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

          In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" or "SFAS No. 155." Among other things, this standard permits, but does not require, fair value accounting for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure such a hybrid financial instrument at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company holds retained interests in securitized financial assets which were previously covered under the exemption provided in Derivatives Implementation Group Issue D-1, "Application of Statement 133 to Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." Because SFAS No. 155 nullified this exemption, the Company was required to evaluate its positions in these assets to determine whether bifurcation was required. The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets" or "SFAS No. 156." SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and provides the option to either carry servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in

F-29



earnings, or to continue to recognize periodic amortization expense and assess the servicing assets and servicing liabilities for impairment as originally required by SFAS No. 140. This option may be applied by class of servicing asset or liability. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007. In adopting this statement, the Company elected to continue recognizing periodic amortization expense and assess its servicing assets and servicing liabilities for impairment as originally required by SFAS No. 140 and, thus, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" or "SFAS No. 157," which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157. Adoption of this statement will not have a material impact as to the manner in which the Company determines fair value but will require additional disclosures.

          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," or "SFAS No. 159." This statement permits an entity to irrevocably elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these instruments would be recognized in earnings when they occur. When adopted, SFAS No. 159 requires that the difference between the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities elected and the fair value of such instruments be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company elected fair value accounting for certain loan assets and deposit liabilities not previously carried at fair value. The after-tax cumulative effect adjustment from electing the fair value option for the selected financial instruments is estimated to decrease retained earnings by approximately $6.6 million.

          In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings," or "SAB No. 109." SAB No. 109 supersedes SAB No. 105, but retains the view expressed in SAB No. 105 that no internally-developed intangible assets, such as customer relationship intangible assets, should be included in the measurement of the estimated fair value of loan commitment derivatives. That view extends to all written loan commitments accounted for at fair value through earnings. The guidance in SAB No. 109 is effective for all written loan commitments recorded at fair value that are entered into, or substantially modified, in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Management does not expect that adoption of SAB No. 109 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, "Year-End Help for Expensing Employee Stock Options." This SAB expresses the views of the SEC regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, "Share-Based Payment," or "SAB 107," in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The

F-30



guidance in SAB 110 is effective as of January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SAB 110 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FIN 39-1, "Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39," or "FSP FIN 39-1." FSP FIN 39-1 modifies FIN No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts," and permits companies to offset cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions under certain circumstances. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FIN 39-1 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In June 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position No. 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies," or "SOP 07-1." SOP 07-1 addresses when the accounting principles of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies must be applied by an entity and whether those accounting principles must be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting. In October 2007, the FASB voted to indefinitely defer the effective date of SOP 07-1.

          In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 46(R)-7, "Application of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to Investment Companies," or "FSP FIN 46(R)-7." FSP FIN 46(R)-7 makes permanent the temporary deferral of the application of the provisions of FIN 46R to unregistered investment companies, and extends the scope exception from applying FIN 46R to include registered investment companies. FSP FIN 46(R)-7 is effective upon adoption of SOP 07-1, the effective date of which has been indefinitely deferred.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations," or "SFAS No. 141R," which improves reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete, comparable, and relevant information for investors and other users of financial statements. To achieve this goal, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R, any adjustments to the FIN 48 reserve are recorded as an increase to goodwill if an expense and, if a benefit, are applied (a) first to reduce to zero any goodwill related to the acquisition, (b) second to reduce to zero other noncurrent intangible assets related to the acquisition, and (c) third to reduce income tax expense. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 141R, the above rule will no longer apply and any expense or benefit associated with realizing (or re-measuring) unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as part of income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51," or "SFAS No. 160," which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as

F-31



equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          The gains and losses were recorded as a component of net gains (losses) on investments and real estate in the consolidated statement of income. The proceeds received for the year ended December 31, 2007 do not include the transfer of investment securities in connection with the Company's sale of a majority of its affordable housing debt platform in February 2007.

          The Company has pledged investment securities classified as available for sale with a carrying amount of $489.1 million and $587.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily to support debt obligations.

          In 2005, certain investments securities totaling approximately $257 million were transferred from "trading securities" to the "available for sale" classification. Management concluded that it would no longer actively trade these investment securities due to additional operational burdens associated with the securities being pledged as collateral for certain LIHTC obligations. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company evaluated its intent and ability to hold its investment securities classified as held to maturity and determined that an available for sale classification was more appropriate based on the Company's new ownership, objectives and strategy. Therefore, securities with an amortized cost of $76.0 million, which approximated fair value, were transferred from held to maturity to available for sale on March 23, 2006.

          The following table summarizes the maturities of debt securities classified as available for sale as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

 
  Amortized cost

          Not included in the table above are equity securities classified as available for sale with an amortized cost of $0.8 million, and an estimated fair value of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2007.

          Investment securities are collateralized by various types of real estate. The concentration of collateral by collateral type for all investment securities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

          The decline in total investment securities from December 31, 2006 was primarily due to the Company's decision to sell all of its investment securities related to the Tender Option Bond program in March and April 2007 as further discussed in Note 13.

          The Company's subordinated CMBS and CDO securities provide credit support to the more senior classes of the related securitization. Cash flows from the assets underlying the CMBS and CDO investment securities generally are allocated first to the senior classes, with the most senior class having a priority entitlement to cash flow. Then, any remaining cash flows are allocated generally among the other CMBS and CDO security classes in order of their relative seniority. To the extent there are defaults and unrecoverable losses on the underlying investments, resulting in reduced cash flows, the most subordinated CMBS and CDO securities class will bear this loss first. To the extent there are losses in excess of the most subordinated class' entitlement to principal and interest, the remaining CMBS and CDO securities classes will bear such losses in order of their relative subordination level.

          The Company, on a quarterly basis, evaluates unrealized losses to identify those impairments that would be deemed as other-than-temporary. The Company's evaluation includes a credit analysis of its investment securities portfolio based on the preparation of cash flow projections reflecting its monitoring of the underlying assets and relevant market information. In the case of subordinate CMBS, ABS and CDO securities portfolios, the Company also considers its projected loss position in the relevant securities. An impairment typically results from a decline in the projected cash flows due to increased loss projections and the Company's determination that the impairment will not otherwise be recovered.

          As a result of the Company's evaluation discussed above, and its conclusion that the amount it expected to recover on some of its investment securities was less than the amortized cost of those securities, the Company recognized charges for declines in value in certain investment securities classified as available for sale, primarily consisting of CMBS, ABS and CDO securities, that were considered other-than-temporary. These charges were $26.9 million for the year ended

F-34



December 31, 2007, $1.4 million for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, none for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006, and $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The impairment charges were recorded as a component of net gains (losses) on investments and real estate in the consolidated statement of income.

          In addition to the impairment charges referred to above, in light of difficult market conditions, including significant liquidity constraints in the CMBS, ABS and CDO markets, the Company concluded that the fair value of some of its investment securities had declined and recognized corresponding unrealized losses on those securities, as reflected in the table below. Based on the credit analysis referred to above, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses in the tables below were temporary declines in estimated fair value due to unfavorable market conditions and were not reflective of credit deterioration of the securities. The Company believes it has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover and that (after giving effect to the impairment charges referred to above) the Company will fully realize the remaining amortized cost of the investment securities. Therefore, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses reflected in the tables below were not other-than-temporary.

          The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company's investment securities classified as available for sale, aggregated by length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

5. Loans Held for Sale

        The following table summarizes the Company's loans held for sale as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, by loan type, carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value (in thousands):

Floating rate mortgage loans   $ 6,602,555   $ 6,770,744
Fixed rate mortgage loans     1,103,446     1,997,545
Construction loans     12,052    
Loan participations     65,716     114,323
   
 
Total   $ 7,783,769   $ 8,882,612
   
 

          The Company reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any changes in classification should be made between "held for sale" and "held for investment." The Company classifies a loan as "held for investment" when it intends to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff. The Company defines "foreseeable future" based upon what it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including events and conditions that the Company can reasonably anticipate. The Company considers many factors in determining what is the "foreseeable future" including: its financial condition and liquidity positions; its anticipated capital requirements; its business strategy and operating plans; the current and expected economic environment and market conditions; and the nature and type of loans, including expected durations. The consideration of many of these factors requires the Company to make forward-looking evaluations for a period of time not less than twelve months. Beyond the twelve-month period, the Company is less confident in its ability to predict all future events. If the Company is aware of any specific events which are likely to occur beyond the twelve-month period but prior to a loan's maturity or payoff, the Company considers such events in its evaluation. Based upon its analysis of the factors and all other relevant information, the Company determines whether the loan should be classified as either "held for sale" or "held for investment."

          During the third and fourth quarters of 2007, the Company determined that certain loans in its held for sale portfolio should be classified as held for investment based on management's conclusion that market conditions were not attractive for sales and because those conditions were likely to persist, retaining these loans for investment was more economically attractive than selling them. In making this determination, the Company evaluated events and conditions that it could reasonably foresee, which at a minimum was the next twelve-month period. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it had the ability and intent to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until their maturity or payoff. As a result of this decision, approximately $4.5 billion of loans identified through this review process were transferred from "held for sale" to "held for investment" at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The amortized cost basis of such loans exceeded estimated fair value at the time of transfer by approximately $76.6 million. This amount is reported as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in the consolidated statement of income.

          The Company has pledged loans held for sale with a carrying amount totaling $2.6 billion and $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily to support debt obligations.

          With the implementation of push down accounting in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the allowance for loan losses as of March 22, 2006 was transferred to the carrying value of mortgage loans held for investment as a basis adjustment to the carrying value of such loans on March 23, 2006.

          As discussed in Note 3, the Company purchased non-performing loans at significant discounts to the loans' unpaid principal balance, principally in Asia. At the time of acquisition, these loans evidenced credit quality deterioration and the probability that not all contractual payments would be collected. The Company does not establish an allowance for loan losses on acquired non-performing loans at acquisition or thereafter. Upon determination that a post-acquisition impairment has occurred, the carrying values of these loans are reduced by the amount of the impairment. The charges for impairments for acquired non-performing and underperforming loans totaled $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, $11.4 million for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, $1.5 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006, and $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          The allowance for loan losses on impaired loans is included in the Company's overall allowance for loan losses. The Company does not recognize interest income on impaired loans.

          As discussed in Note 3, the Company acquires non-performing and under-performing loans at substantial discounts to par. At acquisition, these loans had evidence of credit quality deterioration and it was probable that not all contractually required payments would be collected. The carrying amount of the acquired non-performing and under-performing loans totaled $358.4 million and $523.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In accordance with SOP 03-3, the Company recognizes an estimate of the accretable yield on such loans. The accretable yield is limited to the excess of the estimated undiscounted principal, interest and other cash flows expected over the initial investment in the acquired loans.

          The following table summarizes activity related to the accretable yield on such loans (in thousands):

          In 2007, the Company acquired such loans with contractually required payments receivable totaling $195.8 million. The acquisition price of these loans totaled $69.6 million, which approximated fair value. At acquisition, the Company estimated it would collect $84.0 million in total cash flow related to such loans. In 2006, the Company acquired such loans with contractually required payments receivable totaling $1.0 billion. The acquisition price of these loans totaled $168.8 million, which approximated fair value. At acquisition, the Company estimated it would collect $199.4 million in total cash flow related to such loans. The timing and amount of the Company's expected cash flows associated with acquired non-performing and under-performing loans are based upon a number of assumptions that are subject to business and economic

F-40



uncertainties, including the amount and timing of principal payments, collateral disposition activity and other factors. The Company could experience earnings volatility to the extent that the timing and the amount of actual cash flows received differ from management's expected future cash flow projections.

          The Company evaluates whether the expected cash flows of such loans has changed and records an impairment loss if there is a decrease in expected cash flows. Impairment losses are charged to provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income. The Company recorded impairment losses of $13.2 million for year ended December 31, 2007, $11.3 million for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, $1.5 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 and $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          Investments in affordable housing partnerships in the United States—The Company makes investments in and syndicates investments in real estate partnerships to unaffiliated investors in the form of limited partner ownership interests that are pooled into funds ("upper-tier funds"). These funds hold limited partner ownership interests in various operating partnerships that develop, own, and operate affordable housing properties throughout the United States. These entities are considered variable interest entities under FIN 46R and are discussed in further detail in Note 13.

          Investments in real estate equity investment funds in the United States—The Company makes investments in real estate partnerships and limited liability corporations in the form of limited or general partner/member ownership interests. These funds invest in various real estate ventures with real estate developers, the purpose of which is to acquire, maintain and develop improved and unimproved real property located within the United States, either directly or indirectly through equity interests.

          Investments in real estate projects, joint ventures and real estate equity investment funds in Europe—The Company makes investments in real estate partnerships and companies in the form of unit trust or share ownership interests. These investments are focused primarily on underperforming properties in European markets that have the potential to generate returns through capital improvements, re-leasing, intensive management, repositioning and financial restructuring.

        Investments in other real estate ventures in the United States—The Company acquires and holds equity positions in various multi-family real estate projects. Ownership of real estate or real estate development projects may take several forms which differ in legal form and economic substance. Typical structures include equity positions in certain credit-worthy "to-be-built" and rehabilitation commercial and multifamily projects that are expected to meet the investment criteria of a permanent investor upon project completion. Such equity positions are often in the form of limited partnerships and limited liability companies.

          Investments in non-performing and under-performing commercial loan and real estate joint ventures—As discussed in Note 3, income associated with these investments is recognized as earned based on the Company's participation interest in the underlying equity method investment. Generally, the revenue recognition policies applied by these investees are consistent with those applied by the Company with respect to accretion of interest income.

          Other—Primarily includes equity investments accounted for under the cost method.

Total   $ 12,140,323   $ 11,675,204   5.37 % 5.20 %
   
 
 
 
 

          The Company funds its operations utilizing both U.S. Dollar and non-U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings. As of December 31, 2007, total borrowings included $8.6 billion funded in U.S. Dollars and $3.5 billion funded in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro and British Pounds Sterling. As of December 31, 2007, total borrowings consisted of $5.4 billion issued at a fixed rate and $6.7 billion issued at a variable rate. As of December 31, 2006, total borrowings included $8.4 billion funded in U.S. Dollars and $3.3 billion funded in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen and British Pounds Sterling. As of December 31, 2006, total borrowings consisted of $3.0 billion issued at a fixed rate and $8.7 billion issued at a variable rate.

          The rates shown in the table above exclude the impact of derivative instruments. The Company utilizes derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps classified as both fair value hedges and trading derivatives, to economically convert a portion of its fixed rate borrowings to variable rate borrowings and, conversely, a portion of its variable rate borrowings to fixed rate borrowings. The maturity structure of the derivative instruments generally corresponds with the maturity structure of the corresponding borrowings. In addition, the Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the foreign exchange impact of certain borrowings.

Short-term borrowings

          The Company has secured and unsecured lines of credit with various banks. Balances under these lines of credit totaled $2.7 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis. Interest rates are fixed or variable and proceeds may have been discounted at the time of issuance. The Company's secured borrowings from unaffiliated entities provide multi-currency denominated funding through repurchase agreements and collateralized borrowing arrangements. Interest rates are variable and based on market rate indices. Generally, interest is paid monthly on these borrowings. In December 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell a majority of its affordable housing debt platform. As a result of the definitive agreement, related borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2006 totaling $404.1 million, were reported as a component of liabilities related to operations held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3 for further discussion of operations held for sale.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company entered into a senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The senior credit facility is unsecured and includes a $2.75 billion multi-

F-48



currency revolving credit facility. The contractual maturity date of the revolving credit facility is March 23, 2011. However, individual borrowings under the revolving credit facility are on a short-term basis. The revolving credit facility is divided into a U.S. sub-facility, a Canadian sub-facility, an Irish sub-facility and a Japanese sub-facility. The U.S. sub-facility only permits borrowings to be denominated in U.S. Dollars. All other sub-facilities allow for borrowings that are denominated in Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or U.S. Dollars and, in the case of the Canadian sub-facility, Canadian Dollars. In addition, the revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same day notice, which are commonly referred to as swing lines. The Company is permitted to borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the revolving credit facility from time to time. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $1.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility (with $1.6 billion of availability for future borrowings). As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $1.3 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility (with $1.5 billion of availability for future borrowings). These borrowings were used to refinance indebtedness owed to GMAC and its affiliates at the time of the Sponsor Transactions and to fund subsequent investments and operating activities. These amounts bear interest at rates equal to short-term index rates appropriate for the currencies borrowed (such as LIBOR) plus a margin that is based on the credit ratings assigned to the Company's long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the committed amount of the facility.

          Capmark Bank also has access to federal funds issued by various unaffiliated banks. These borrowings are unsecured and issued at terms not greater than 364 days. Interest rates are variable and based on a market index plus an agreed-upon margin. There were no outstanding balances under these arrangements as of December 31, 2007 and $140.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

Long-term borrowings

          Collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts—In accordance with SFAS No. 140, certain securitizations are not accounted for as sales. Such securitizations are accounted for as secured borrowings with the pledge of collateral. These transactions represent long-term, match-funded, asset-backed financings and are non-recourse to the Company.

          The Company accounts for certain securitizations of commercial mortgage loans as on-balance sheet borrowings with the pledge of collateral. The related commercial mortgage loans are reported as mortgage loans held for investment in the consolidated balance sheet. Balances outstanding under these collateralized borrowings totaled $260.5 million and $745.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The interest rates on these collateralized borrowings were 5.79% and 6.55% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          The Company accounted for certain securitizations of investment securities as on-balance sheet borrowings with the pledge of collateral. The related investment securities were classified as trading in the consolidated balance sheet. Balances outstanding under these collateralized borrowings totaled $731.6 million as of December 31, 2006. The interest rate on these collateralized borrowings was 4.00% as of December 31, 2006. The Company paid off these collateralized borrowings during March and April 2007 as further discussed in Note 13.

F-49


          Other long-term borrowings—In May 2007, the Company issued $2.55 billion of senior unsecured notes in an offering exempt from registration under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes were issued in three series: $850 million of floating rate notes priced at three-month LIBOR plus 0.65% due May 10, 2010; $1.2 billion of 5.875% fixed rate notes due May 10, 2012; and $500 million of 6.300% fixed rate notes due May 10, 2017. The interest rate payable on the notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody's or Standard & Poor's modifies the debt rating assigned to the notes. Proceeds of the issuance after payment of the initial purchasers' discounts were applied to repay approximately $2.0 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the Company's bridge loan and the remainder was used to pay fees and expenses relating to the issuance and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of short-term borrowings. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company purchased $20 million of its outstanding floating rate senior notes due 2010 in a privately negotiated transaction with a third party and recognized an after-tax gain of $2.3 million.

          Similar to the Company's senior credit facility and bridge loan agreement, the indentures under which the notes were issued contain certain financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The indenture covenants include limitations (each of which is subject to certain exceptions) on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio as well as the ability of the Company and certain of the Company's current and future subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens, merge, consolidate or engage in asset sales. The indenture covenants also require the Company to purchase the notes upon the request of the holders upon a change of control accompanied by a credit rating downgrade, and obligate the Company to file periodic financial reports with the trustee. In addition, as required by the agreements entered into in connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 in September 2007, with respect to a registered offer to exchange the notes for new registered notes with substantially identical terms. The registration statement was amended in January 2008 and has not yet become effective.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company entered into a senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders. The senior credit facility is unsecured and includes a $2.75 billion multi-currency term loan facility. The Company had $2.8 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. These borrowings were used to refinance indebtedness owed to GMAC and its affiliates at the time of the Sponsor Transactions and to fund subsequent investments and operating activities. The amounts bear interest at rates equal to the base rates appropriate for the currencies borrowed (such as LIBOR) plus 67.5 basis points. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based upon the amount of the term loan outstanding.

          Also in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company entered into a $5.25 billion bridge loan agreement with a syndicate of lenders. The Company borrowed the full amount available under the bridge loan in connection with the Sponsor Transactions to refinance a portion of the indebtedness owed to GMAC and its affiliates at the time. The Company had $1.7 billion and $3.75 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the bridge loan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This amount bears interest at a rate that is equal to a specified LIBOR rate plus a margin that is based on the credit ratings that are assigned to the Company's long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. In addition, the Company pays a facility fee based on the amount of bridge loan outstanding. On February 21, 2008, the Company formally communicated its intent to extend the maturity date of the bridge loan to March 23, 2009 in accordance with the terms of the facility. The bridge loan contains financial and other covenants that are substantially similar to those

F-50



contained in the senior credit facility. The Company is required to prepay the bridge loan with proceeds from the issuance of certain debt securities. The amount of the prepayment is dependent upon the amount of proceeds from the issuance of securities.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated debentures to Capmark Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, which in turn issued $250.0 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating rate trust preferred securities to GMAC in exchange for the reduction of an equivalent amount of indebtedness that the Company owed GMAC and one of its affiliates at the time. The trust preferred securities entitle GMAC to receive, on a quarterly basis, cumulative cash distributions of amounts actually received by the trust in respect of the junior subordinated debentures, including upon redemption of the junior subordinated debentures. Interest accrues and is payable on the junior subordinated debentures on a quarterly basis at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The junior subordinated debentures mature on March 23, 2046. Prior to March 23, 2011, the junior subordinated debentures are redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after March 23, 2011, the Company may redeem the junior subordinated debentures, at the Company's option, at any time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The Company has agreed, however, for the benefit of the lenders under the bridge loan and the holders of other debt that may be designated by the Company, that the Company will not redeem the junior subordinated debentures prior to maturity except with the proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying securities.

          The Company entered into unsecured term borrowing arrangements with various banks in Asia. The loans were issued at terms ranging from one year to five years. Interest rates were primarily variable and interest was paid semi-annually. These borrowings were denominated in Japanese Yen and Taiwanese Dollars and bore interest at either fixed or floating rates. There were no outstanding balances under these arrangements as of December 31, 2007 and $299.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2006.

          In addition to the senior credit facility and bridge loan, the Company has entered into term loans and unsecured and secured credit lines with a number of banks and non-bank finance companies in North America and Asia. The Company uses these loans to fund liquidity needs in connection with lending and real estate investment activities. The Company had $362.0 million and $103.2 million of indebtedness outstanding under these financing arrangements as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These borrowings are denominated in U.S. Dollars, Taiwanese Dollars or Japanese Yen and bear interest at either fixed or floating rates. As of December 31, 2007, borrowings under these financing arrangements had a weighted average remaining maturity of 3.5 years.

          Other long-term borrowings also include $335.9 million and $323.8 million of mortgage loans payable in connection with the Company's interests in affordable housing partnerships as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These mortgages are payable over various periods, have various terms, and are secured by real estate held for sale and real estate acquired through foreclosure totaling a combined $528.0 million and $598.3 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, borrowings under these financing arrangements had maturity dates ranging from 2008 through 2053.

          The Company was in compliance with its covenant requirements as of December 31, 2007.

13. Variable Interest Entities

        The Company has evaluated its investments and other interests in entities that may be considered VIEs under the provisions of FIN 46R. The following describes the VIEs in which the Company has a significant variable interest.

          Guaranteed and Non-guaranteed Tax Credit Funds—as discussed in Note 8, the Company invests in and syndicates investments in real estate partnerships to unaffiliated investors and, in certain partnerships, has guaranteed the timely payment of a specified return to those investors. The investors' return is principally generated from each partnership's share of affordable housing tax credits and tax losses derived from the partnership's investments in entities which develop, own, and operate affordable housing properties throughout the United States. These entities are considered VIEs under FIN 46R. The determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a given tax credit fund depends on many factors, including the number of limited partners and the rights and obligations of the general and limited partners in that fund.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

13. Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

        The Company holds variable interests in syndicated affordable housing partnerships where the Company provides unaffiliated investors with a guaranteed yield on their investment. These partnerships are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements under the financing method in accordance with SFAS No. 66. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2007 was $1.7 billion, representing the $1.3 billion financing liability included in the consolidated balance sheet (i.e., a component of real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities) plus $425.2 million of guaranteed yield due to the unaffiliated investors on their initial investment. The maximum exposure to loss represents the amount payable to investors in the event of liquidation of the partnerships. The Company's exposure to loss increases as unaffiliated investors place additional guaranteed commitments with the Company, and decreases as tax benefits are delivered to the investors. Considering such committed amounts, the Company's exposure to loss in future periods is not expected to exceed $1.7 billion.

          The Company also holds variable interests in syndicated affordable housing partnerships where the Company has not provided the unaffiliated investors with a guaranteed yield on their investment. These entities are also considered VIEs under FIN 46R. If none of the unaffiliated investors have a majority ownership interest in the partnership, the Company generally considers itself the primary beneficiary. The assets of such entities included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled approximately $38.0 million and $126.6 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of certain other partnerships with assets totaling $174.8 million and $408.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          Through its financial interests in syndicated affordable housing partnerships, the Company holds variable interests in underlying "lower-tier" operating partnerships which are also considered VIEs under FIN 46R. The Company has determined, in certain instances, it is the primary beneficiary of the "lower-tier" operating partnerships. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the assets of the operating partnerships included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled approximately $471.2 million and $570.2 million, respectively. Real estate assets restricted as collateral for the payment of certain borrowings totaled $528.0 million and $477.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of certain other "lower-tier" operating partnerships and therefore has not included the assets of these entities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Assets held in these specific partnerships totaled approximately $7.4 billion and $8.5 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company's maximum exposure to loss related to these partnerships was $250.4 million and $861.4 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          New Markets Tax Credit Funds—the Company syndicates and manages investments in partnerships that make investments, typically mortgage loans that, in turn, qualify the partnerships to earn New Markets Tax Credits. New Markets Tax Credits permit taxpayers to receive a federal income tax credit for making qualified equity investments in community development entities. The Company has determined that these partnerships are considered VIEs under FIN 46R. For certain of these partnerships with assets totaling $222.4 million and $92.9 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary based upon an analysis of expected cash flows of the partnership. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these partnerships totaled approximately $205.4 million and $69.4 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For certain other partnerships, the Company is considered the primary

F-53



beneficiary and has therefore consolidated the partnerships under FIN 46R. The Company's consolidated assets in these partnerships totaled approximately $458.4 million and $500.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          Collateralized Debt Obligations—the Company sponsors, purchases subordinated and equity interests in, and serves as collateral manager for CDOs. In CDO transactions, a bankruptcy-remote SPE is established that purchases a portfolio of securities and loans and issues debt and equity certificates, representing interests in the portfolio of assets. In addition to receiving variable compensation for managing the portfolio, the Company sometimes retains equity investments in the CDOs. Certain of the CDOs sponsored by the Company were initially structured, or have been restructured (with approval by the senior beneficial interest holders) as qualifying special purpose entities ("QSPEs"), and are therefore exempt from the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R. For the remaining CDOs, the results of the primary beneficiary analysis support the conclusion that consolidation is not required under FIN 46R because the Company is not expected to receive a majority of the expected losses or residual returns. The assets in these CDOs totaled $4.5 billion and $4.6 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the Company's maximum exposure to loss was $9.4 million and $34.2 million, respectively, representing the Company's retained interests in these variable interest entities reported as investment securities classified as available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. CDOs are discussed in further detail in Note 16.

          Real Estate Investments—the Company invests in real estate partnerships in North America and Asia. The Company has determined certain of these partnerships are considered VIEs under FIN 46R. For some of these partnerships, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary based upon cash flow analyses of the partnerships. The assets in these partnerships totaled $383.0 million and $251.1 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The maximum exposure to loss was approximately $85.0 million and $28.2 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For a few of these partnerships, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and has therefore consolidated the partnerships under FIN 46R. The Company's consolidated assets in these partnerships totaled approximately $57.1 million and $29.8 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          CMBS Securitization Trusts—as discussed in Note 16, the Company sells commercial mortgage loans to special purpose trusts in exchange for the proceeds from the sale of securities issued by the trusts. The trusts' activities are generally limited to acquiring the assets, issuing securities, collecting payments on assets and making payments on the securities. Certain of these trusts do not qualify as QSPEs under SFAS No. 140 and are considered VIEs under FIN 46R. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of these trusts based upon an analysis of the expected cash flows. Assets in these trusts totaled $1.1 billion and $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and the Company's maximum exposure to loss was $263.7 million and $771.0 million, respectively, and reported as loans held for investment in the consolidated balance sheet.

          Tender Option Bond Trusts—the Company acquired long-term, tax-exempt, fixed-rate municipal bonds, deposited them into a trust, securitized them with a tender option, and resold the newly created short-term, tax-exempt, floating-rate notes to unaffiliated investors. The tender option allowed the holder of the short-term notes to, at any time, put its interest to a liquidity bank or remarketing agent for cash. These trusts did not qualify as QSPEs under SFAS No. 140 and were

F-54



considered VIEs under FIN 46R. The Company was considered the primary beneficiary because it absorbed the majority of expected losses in these trusts. The assets of these trusts were primarily reported as investment securities classified as trading in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company's consolidated assets in these trusts totaled approximately $727.2 million as of December 31, 2006. During March and April 2007, the Company sold all of its investment securities related to the Tender Option Bond program to various unaffiliated buyers. The Company used the proceeds to pay off its related collateralized borrowings in securitization trusts discussed in Note 12.

14. Deposit Liabilities

          The deposit liabilities of Capmark Bank are primarily interest-bearing, issued in denominations of $100,000 or less and are insured by the FDIC.

          The weighted average interest rate for total deposits was 5.09% and 4.96% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has entered into a portfolio of interest rate swaps, classified as trading derivatives, to mitigate the risk of a change in estimated fair value of a portfolio of fixed-rate certificates of deposit issued by Capmark Bank as further discussed in Note 18.

          The following table summarizes the scheduled maturity of the Company's time deposits and certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

Total time deposits and certificates of deposit   $ 5,550,357
   

15. Income Taxes

        Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company had operated within the GM-controlled tax group under the principles of a tax-sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, the Company was generally treated as a standalone taxpayer, except with regard to foreign tax credits and net

F-55



operating losses. The Company would receive credit for such tax attributes only if the GM group as a whole could utilize such benefits.

          Upon the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, the Company became deconsolidated from the GM-controlled tax group. Therefore, the Company is no longer an eligible member of the GM consolidated tax return for any periods after the date of the Sponsor Transactions. Thus, the Company is now liable for worldwide taxes based solely on its consolidated operations as a standalone taxpayer. Moreover, based on applicable tax rules, certain tax attributes represented by net operating losses and foreign tax credits were specifically allocated by GM to the Company in respect to the intercompany receivable due from GM. These amounts were reclassified as deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of the Sponsor Transactions date.

          As discussed in Note 3, the Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The following table summarizes the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company's consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

 
  Historical
balances as of
December 31, 2006

  Adjusted
balances as of

Deferred tax assets   $ 1,834   $ 59,938   $ 61,772
Goodwill     58,913     32,231     91,144
Accounts payable and other liabilities     878,753     155,714     1,034,467
Current taxes payable     99,226     (54,010 )   45,216
Retained earnings     144,144     (9,535 )   134,609

          A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of January 1, 2007   $ 118,902  
Additions for uncertain tax positions     32,104  
Reductions for uncertain tax positions     (3,054 )
Settlements     (1,536 )
   
 
Balance as of December 31, 2007   $ 146,416  
   
 

          Included in the balance as of December 31, 2007, are $34.9 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. Moreover, included in the balance above as of December 31, 2007, are $99.8 million of tax positions for which the ultimate settlement would reduce the Company's goodwill.

          The Company recognized approximately $16.3 million of gross interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company accrued approximately $49.7 million and $37.1 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

F-56


          The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions, both within and outside the United States. Accordingly, the Company is, from time to time, under examination in certain tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. Within specific countries, the Company may be subject to audit by various tax authorities, or subsidiaries operating within the country may be subject to different statute of limitations expiration dates. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination in the Company's major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2007:

United States—federal   2001 and forward
United States—states   1994 and forward
Japan   2001 and forward
Ireland   2003 and forward
Canada   2005 and forward
Taiwan   2006 and forward

          Based upon the expiration of statutes of limitations and/or conclusion of tax examinations in several jurisdictions, management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of previously unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 for the items discussed above may decrease by up to $36.5 million within the next 12 months.

          The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $339.2 million and $254.7 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $17.8 million and $13.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $67.0 million as of December 31, 2006 which were fully utilized as of December 31, 2007. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years beginning after 2007. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are primarily related to Japan, begin expiring in various years after 2009. In addition, the Company had general business credit carryforwards of $17.9 million and $9.1 million as of December 31,

F-58



2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $53.8 million and $62.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The general business credit carryforwards are primarily low-income housing tax credits and will expire in various years after 2021. The foreign tax credit carryforwards will expire in years beginning after 2014.

          A valuation allowance of $30.9 million and $62.5 million has been established against the Company's foreign tax credits as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Certain foreign tax credits have been used on a U.S. tax return basis for which an unrecognized tax benefit has been established under FIN 48. A valuation allowance of $23.0 million has been established against these FIN 48 deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007. An additional valuation allowance of $27.0 million and $17.2 million has been provided for the state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company has established a valuation allowance of $9.1 million against its general business credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Valuation allowances have been established with respect to the above carryforwards because the Company has deemed it more likely than not that future taxable income in the relevant taxing jurisdictions will be insufficient to realize the related income tax benefits.

          The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has a policy to examine the income tax returns of large corporate taxpayers, including GM and its subsidiaries. Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company was included in the GM consolidated tax group, which is currently under IRS examination for tax years 2001 through the Sponsor Transactions date. Subsequent to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company may be audited by federal, state, foreign and local taxing authorities. Management believes that an adequate provision for contingencies related to all income taxes and interest as of December 31, 2007 has been established in accordance with FIN 48. Pursuant to the legal agreements entered into in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, GMAC has agreed to indemnify the Company for any and all taxes with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries relating to pre-closing tax periods to the extent the aggregate of such taxes exceed a specified amount. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify GMAC for any and all tax liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries related to pre-closing tax periods in an amount not to exceed the specified amount, which specified amount has been accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

16. Securitization of Assets

        In the normal course of business, the Company originates and purchases commercial mortgage loans and investment securities, with the intent to earn interest income, origination fees and servicing income. The majority of mortgage loans and investment securities are considered held/available for sale, and are usually sold to third party investors directly or through a variety of SPEs, including QSPEs, and other structured facilities in order to provide funding for the continued origination and purchase of loans. The beneficial interests in the underlying pools of loans are typically sold to institutional investors.

          Under the Company's term securitization programs, commercial mortgage loans and investment securities are sold to limited purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries of the Company. In turn, these subsidiaries generally establish separate trusts to which they transfer the assets in exchange for the proceeds from the sale of securities issued by the trusts. The activities of the trusts are generally limited to acquiring the assets, issuing securities, collecting payments on assets and making payments on the securities. Due to the nature of the assets held by the trusts and the limited nature of the activities of the trusts, they are typically classified as QSPEs under SFAS No. 140. In accordance with SFAS No. 140, assets and liabilities of the trusts that meet all of the conditions to qualify as QSPEs are not included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Assets and liabilities of the trusts that do not meet all of the conditions to qualify as QSPEs are

F-60



analyzed for consolidation under FIN 46R. See Note 13 for related disclosures. In either case, the investors in the debt securities issued by the trusts have no further recourse against the Company if cash flows generated by the securitized assets are inadequate to service the obligations of the trusts.

          The Company agrees to service the mortgage loans transferred to the trusts with respect to CMBS for an annual fee averaging approximately 0.1% of the outstanding balance and may earn other related ongoing income. The Company may also retain senior and subordinated interests in the QSPEs, and these interests are reported as investment securities classified as available for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Generally, the Company's retained interests are subordinated to investors' interests (excluding mortgage servicing rights).

          The Company's securitization activities also include the securitization of commercial mortgage securities, REIT debt, and commercial mortgage loans using SPEs that issue CDOs. With respect to such transactions, the Company and other unaffiliated parties each contribute a portion of the total collateral underlying the CDO investments. The Company holds subordinated interests, including first loss positions, and also acts as collateral manager for these SPEs. The assets in these CDOs totaled $5.4 billion and $5.6 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of which the Company's exposure to loss was $66.9 million and $87.7 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing the Company's retained interests in these entities and are reported as investment securities classified as available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. As discussed in Note 13, certain of these CDOs are also considered VIEs under FIN 46R.

          The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and pre-tax gains of $43.7 million for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, $16.7 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006, and $66.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 on the securitization of financial assets, inclusive of gains and losses related to hedging activities. The key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the date of securitization are summarized below. The weighted average values for prepayment rate and expected credit losses only include those retained interests that have prepayment and expected credit loss exposure.

The majority of the Company's mortgage loans are subject to prepayment penalties during a rate lockout period. Therefore, the assumed prepayment rates increase once the rate lockout period expires.

          These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be considered with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 10 percent change in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated, because the relationship of the changes in assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the

F-64



effect of a change in one particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. The discount rate presented represents post-loss yields.

          Managed assets include assets recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and assets that have been derecognized in a securitization, excluding securitized assets that the Company continues to service but with which it has no other continuing involvement.

17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure of the fair values of all assets and liabilities classified as financial instruments. Fair value is the amount for which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing and unrelated parties. The Company estimates fair value amounts through the use of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

          Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, so the estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimates of fair value and, therefore, the net realizable value of the Company's financial instruments could differ from the estimates presented below. Fair value information presented herein is based on information available as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Such amounts have not been updated since these respective dates and, therefore, estimates of fair value at dates subsequent to December 31, 2007 and 2006 may differ significantly from amounts presented herein. In addition, the estimates presented below are indicative of individual financial instruments and should not be considered an indication of fair value of any groupings of financial instruments or of the Company as a whole.

Derivative liabilities     67,862     67,862     35,308     35,308

          The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments not previously discussed in Note 3:

          Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

          Accounts and other receivables—the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

          Loans held for investment, net—the fair value of mortgage loans held for investment was primarily based upon the estimated net realizable value of such loans determined either by the present value of expected cash flows using current market rates or by the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan was collateral dependent.

          Borrowings—the fair value of borrowings is based upon rates currently available to the Company for obligations with similar terms and maturities, including current market rates on the Company's senior unsecured notes.

          Deposit Liabilities—the fair value of deposit liabilities was determined through pricing models based on rates currently offered for deposit liabilities of similar remaining maturities.

18. Derivative Instruments

        The Company uses derivative instruments in connection with its risk management activities. The Company's primary objective in utilizing derivative instruments is to minimize market risk

F-66



volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks related to the assets and liabilities of the Company. Minimizing this volatility enables the Company to mitigate the impact of market risk on earnings.

          The derivative instruments that the Company uses include swaps, caps, forwards, options, swaptions, spread locks, loan commitments and treasury-related derivative instruments, and may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market.

          Fair value hedges—the Company enters into derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale. Such changes in estimated fair value can result from interest rate, credit, and spread risk associated with the underlying hedged items. The Company primarily uses interest rate swap contracts and treasury-related derivative instruments to hedge pools of similar fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to 2007, the hedging relationship was highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in estimated fair value attributable to the designated hedge risk during the hedge period. Due to significant volatility in CMBS spreads in 2007, the hedging relationship ceased to be highly effective and the Company discontinued hedge accounting on its pools of fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale.

          Prior to discontinuing hedge accounting, the Company had aggregated its mortgage loans held for sale into groups of similar assets with similar risk attributes and had designated the hedged risk as the risk of a change in the overall estimated fair value of the mortgage loan pool. The overall changes in the estimated fair value of the loan pool and the derivatives were included in the evaluation of hedge effectiveness. The difference between the change in estimated fair value of the loan pool and the change in estimated fair value of the derivative pool represented hedge ineffectiveness and was recorded in current period earnings as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in the consolidated statement of income. The net interest settlement periodically recognized for the related hedging instruments was included as a component of other gains (losses), net in the Company's consolidated statement of income.

          The Company has also entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of its fixed rate senior unsecured notes due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The Company has elected to use the Shortcut Method (as defined in SFAS No. 133) to assess effectiveness. As such, the Company expects that the derivative instruments used in this hedging relationship will be very highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in estimated fair value attributable to the designated hedge risk during the hedge period. By applying the Shortcut Method, the Company is not required to periodically measure and record any ineffectiveness. The change in estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes is included as a basis adjustment of the notes' carrying value, and the fair value change of the fair value hedges is recorded in other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities, as appropriate. The net interest settlement periodically recognized for the related hedging instruments is included as a component of other gains (losses), net in the consolidated statement of income.

          Cash flow hedges—the Company, through its mortgage loan servicing operations, holds escrow funds in segregated trust accounts maintained and managed by Escrow Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. These funds are typically placed at a variety of approved financial institutions and earn a return based upon a floating rate index, primarily one-month LIBOR, plus or minus an agreed-upon spread.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

18. Derivative Instruments (Continued)

        Escrow funds are not recognized as assets or liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. However, the Company recognizes the returns generated on the escrow funds as a component of trust fees and document custodial income (the Company is required to pay out a fixed return to the borrower on a portion of the portfolio) in the consolidated statement of income. The variability in cash flows derived from the escrow funds exposes the Company to interest rate risk. Prior to 2007, the Company had entered into a hedging strategy which consisted of acquiring interest rate swaps where the Company received a fixed rate of return and paid a floating rate return consistent with that earned on the escrow funds being hedged. The terms of these swaps hedged the variability in future cash flows to a maximum term of five years. In 2007, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps and therefore discontinued hedge accounting. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the net gain in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax (a component of stockholders' equity) at the date of discontinuance will be reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. At the date of discontinuance there was a realized gain of $10.9 million that resulted from the terminations of the swaps that will be amortized into earnings over the remaining hedge period using the effective yield method.

          Prior to discontinuing hedge accounting, the Company had elected to use the Hypothetical Derivative Method (as defined in SFAS No. 133) to measure the ineffectiveness of this hedge relationship. Under this method, the actual swap designated as the hedging instrument was recorded at estimated fair value in the consolidated balance sheet, and accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax was adjusted to a balance that reflected the lesser of either: (a) the cumulative change in the estimated fair value of the actual swap or (b) the cumulative change in the estimated fair value of a "perfect" hypothetical swap. The Company expected that the derivative instruments used in this hedging relationship would be highly effective as an economic hedge of interest rate risk associated with its hedged escrow funds. The Company applied a cumulative dollar loss offset method in assessing the effectiveness of this hedge relationship on a quarterly basis. In applying this methodology, the cumulative change in estimated fair value of the hedging instruments was compared to the cumulative change in the estimated fair value of the hypothetical derivative. The change in estimated fair value of the cash flow hedges was recorded in other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheet with an offsetting amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Any hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings as a component of net gains (losses) on investments and real estate in the Company's consolidated statement of income. The net interest settlement periodically recognized for the related hedging instruments was included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income.

          The net amount of existing gains as of December 31, 2007 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is approximately $5.0 million.

          Foreign currency hedges—the Company holds various foreign-denominated financial assets and liabilities. These assets and liabilities expose the Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In order to hedge the net cash flows related to these assets and liabilities, the Company periodically enters into derivative instruments which convert the future cash receipts or payments to U.S. Dollars at a fixed exchange rate on the day of the initial transaction. The Company currently uses currency forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge these risks. The hedging relationship

F-68



is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in estimated fair value attributable to the designated hedge risk during the hedge period.

          The net asset or liability revaluation attributable to exchange rate fluctuations and the revaluation of the related derivatives is included as a component of net real estate investment and other income in the consolidated statement of income. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency hedge is recorded in other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheet. The aggregate difference between the revaluation of the foreign currency denominated net assets or liabilities and the change in estimated fair value of the derivative pool represents hedge ineffectiveness, which is recognized in current period earnings as a component of other gains (losses), net in the consolidated statement of income. The change in estimated fair value of the forward points is recognized as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income over the life of the related derivative instrument. The change in estimated fair value of forward points is excluded from the hedge effectiveness analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

          The net amount of existing losses as of December 31, 2007 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is approximately $0.1 million.

          Net investment hedges—the Company makes investments in foreign operations that have functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company. The change in the carrying amount of these operations, translated at month-end exchange rates, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The translation of these operations over future periods exposes the Company to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In order to manage this exposure, the Company has entered into a portfolio of derivative instruments to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange movements on stockholders' equity. The portion of the change in estimated fair value of the related derivative instruments due to changes in month-end foreign exchange rates is recorded in other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities, as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheet with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent the derivative instrument is effective. The remainder is recorded in current period earnings as a component of other gains (losses), net in the consolidated statement of income.

          The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedges based upon the changes in exchange rates of the hedging instrument. The Company expects that the derivative instruments used in these hedging relationships will be highly effective as economic hedges of foreign currency exchange risk associated with its hedged net investments because the critical risks of the hedging instruments are structured to mirror the critical risks of the hedged net investments. The Company recognizes hedge ineffectiveness in earnings if the notional amount of the derivatives exceeds the portion of the net investment that has been designated as being hedged or if the derivatives' underlying exchange rate is not the exchange rate between the functional currency of the hedged net investment and the Company's functional currency.

          Derivatives classified as trading—derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 are reported at their estimated fair value in either other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities, as appropriate. The resulting gains and losses are included in current period earnings as a component of net gains (losses) on investments and real estate in the consolidated statement of income. The net interest settlement periodically recognized for these

F-69



derivative instruments is included as a component of other gains (losses), net in the consolidated statement of income.

          The Company enters into derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with changes in the estimated fair value of investment securities classified as trading, fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale and certain fixed-rate certificates of deposit issued by the Bank. The Company also enters into interest rate swaps to mitigate the volatility in cash flows of certain of its variable rate liabilities. In addition, the Company enters into forward currency contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk on its foreign denominated borrowings. Certain of these contracts are classified as trading derivatives.

          The following table summarizes the pre-tax gain (loss) recognized for hedge ineffectiveness associated with each type of accounting hedge (in thousands):

          The Company is required to deposit cash in collateral and margin accounts maintained by counterparties related to certain derivative positions. Collateral in the amount of $44.0 million and $68.5 million was deposited by the Company related to these arrangements as of December 31, 2007, respectively. These amounts are netted against unrealized losses on derivative positions. The Company held $111.8 million and $6.0 million in collateral and margin accounts on behalf of counterparties as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts are netted against unrealized gains on derivative positions. Net unrealized losses are reported as a component of accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Net unrealized gains are reported as a component of other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

19. Stock-Based Compensation

        In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company implemented a stock option award program which provides Management Stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares of common stock at a specified price, once certain time-based and performance-based vesting conditions are met. These stock options were generally issued on five-year and three-year graded vesting schedules with certain requisite service conditions. The options expire ten years after the grant date. Certain of these stock options become vested if the Company achieves specific annual performance targets.

          Time-based options relating to 8.6 million shares of common stock vested during the year ended December 31, 2007, of which time-based options relating to 8.2 million shares were exercisable as of December 31, 2007. No options vested during the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006.

          There were 6.5 million and 3.8 million shares available for future grants of options as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

          The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 was $1.83 and $1.80, respectively. The fair value of the option awards was measured as of the grant date and estimated through a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because the Company's common stock is not traded publicly, certain assumptions were determined using appropriate industry sector benchmarks.

          The Company recorded $9.9 million (net of tax benefit of $5.9 million) and $4.5 million (net of tax benefit of $1.9 million) in compensation expense associated with its vesting of time-based options for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, respectively. No compensation expense has been recognized for its performance-based options because the performance criteria have not been met. As of December 31, 2007, there was $49.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested option awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.85 years.

          In October 2006, the Company adopted a Dividend Equivalent Rights Plan ("DER Plan") that provides dividend equivalent rights to employees who are eligible participants of the stock option award program described above. The DER Plan provides that if the Company declares and pays an ordinary dividend on issued and outstanding shares of its common stock, then the DER Plan participant's notional account will be credited in an amount equal to the value of the dividend in respect of one share of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date of the dividend, multiplied by the number of the participant's then outstanding and vested, unexercised options under the stock option award program on the record date for such dividend. Generally, the DER Plan provides that a participant shall vest in this program to the same extent and at the same time as the participant exercises their options under the stock option awards program. No dividends have been declared or paid by the Company since adoption of the DER Plan and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.

20. Employee Benefit Plans

        Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, eligible employees of the Company participated in a defined contribution savings plan, a 401(k) plan, sponsored by GMAC Mortgage. In addition, eligible

F-72



employees participated in a GMAC Mortgage retirement plan that provided for pension payments to eligible employees upon retirement based upon factors such as length of service and salary. Under the pension plan, GMAC Mortgage allocated pension expense to the Company for all participating employees. The 401(k) and pension plans were terminated for employees of the Company in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. Further, GMAC Mortgage retained liability for all existing unfunded pension commitments of the Company.

          In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, a new retirement benefit plan ("the Plan") became effective for eligible employees of the Company. The Plan is a 401(k) plan and has a matching contribution provision in which employees who have completed a requisite service period and who contribute to the Plan receive a dollar-for-dollar match up to a maximum amount. The match is subject to a five-year vesting schedule. Further, an additional company retirement contribution is made by the Company for every eligible employee who completes a stated requisite service period. Employees of the Company had the option to rollover their balances in the GMAC Mortgage 401(k) plan into the new Plan of the Company.

          There was no pension expense for year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006. Pension expense totaled $1.8 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 and $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          401(k) expense totaled $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, $7.7 million for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006, $3.3 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

          In 2006, the Company adopted a stock award plan (the "Executive Stock Plan") and a deferred company award plan (the "Deferred Award Plan"). The Executive Stock Plan permits certain executive employees to purchase shares of common stock with after-tax dollars. During 2007, eligible employees purchased approximately 1.3 million shares at fair value. Under the Deferred Award Plan, certain executive officers are permitted to apply bonus compensation to the purchase of shares of common stock based on an irrevocable election to participate and defer payment on compensation earned.

In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company discharged its obligations under a number of obligations that were guaranteed by GMAC and GMAC Mortgage and removed GMAC and GMAC Mortgage as guarantors on a number of other obligations. Certain of these guarantees remain as of December 31, 2007.

F-77


    Carried Interest Program

          Certain of Capmark Investments' sponsored investment funds allocate a portion of the income generated by such sponsored funds (such allocation is referred to as the "Carried Interest"), generally to the general partner of such funds. The Carried Interest is generally 20% of the profits generated by these sponsored funds after return of the investors' capital and achieving a required rate of return to the investors specified in the sponsored funds' agreements. Limited partners and members in the general partner and managing member, as applicable, may participate in the Carried Interest (such limited partners and members are referred to as "Incentive Vehicles"). Certain of the Company's portfolio managers and other employees who provide value to these sponsored funds ("Participating Employees") have been granted and/or will be granted limited partnership and/or membership interests in the Incentive Vehicles and, as a result, will be entitled to distributions of a portion of the Carried Interest as limited partners of the respective Incentive Vehicles. It is currently expected that participation of the Participating Employees will range from 25% to 50% of the total Carried Interest generated from third party investments in the sponsored investment funds for which Incentive Vehicles have been or will be established in the future. These grants of participation in the Carried Interest are intended to offer tax-advantaged compensation expense to the Participating Employees and are intended to align the interests of the Participating Employees with the interests of the investors whose funds are managed by Capmark Investments. Although the program was implemented in 2006, no compensation has been accrued or paid as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

    Reimbursements Made to the Chief Executive Officer

          Under the terms of an employment agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the chief executive officer ("Chief Executive Officer") for certain expenses associated with the use of his personal aircraft for Company business.

This reimbursement is included as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

    Debt Financing Arrangements with Equity Method Investees

          As more fully described in Note 8, the Company makes equity investments in entities that acquire, maintain and develop multifamily housing, office, warehouse, and retail properties which are accounted for under the equity method. In some cases, the Company also provides the debt financing to these entities. This debt financing consists of both fixed rate and floating rate loans.

          Loans to these entities totaled approximately $1.2 billion and $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were classified as loans held for investment or loans held for sale as appropriate.

          Certain of these loans are non-interest bearing loans, totaling $58.6 million and $108.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For those loans that bear interest at a fixed rate, the average interest rate was 5.64% and 6.78% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The floating rate loans carry a rate of interest that is based upon a benchmark interest rate plus a stated margin. Interest earned on these loans is reported as a component of interest income in the consolidated statement of income. The lives of these loans range from one year to five years.

F-78


          In addition to providing debt financing, the Company also makes advances to and collects fees from entities owned by its consolidated affordable housing partnerships. Advances to these entities totaled $59.8 million and $49.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

These fees are included as a component of asset management fees in the consolidated statement of income.

    Sale of Businesses to Employees

          In October 2006, the Company sold one of its technology subsidiaries to an employee of the Company. Proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $6.9 million and the Company recorded a gain on sale of approximately $1.8 million, which is included as a component of other net gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income.

          In February 2007, the Company sold its mortgage banking business in Florida to a company formed by a group of former employees. Proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $0.8 million. An immaterial gain on sale was deferred until May 2007 upon the repayment of financing provided to the buyers to facilitate the sale.

          In August 2007, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and transferred substantially all of the liabilities related to its commercial real estate research division, Realpoint, to a company formed by a group of Realpoint employees for approximately $9.7 million. The Company recorded a gain on sale of approximately $7.1 million related to the transaction.

          In November 2007, the Company agreed to sell all of the stock of two of its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries, which comprise the Company's asset management and servicing business in Mexico, to a newly formed company owned by the management team of the Company's business operations in Mexico. The sale of these two subsidiaries was completed in December 2007 resulting in an immaterial loss.

    Transactions with Members of the Investor Group

          In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into transactions with members of the Investor Group and their affiliates. These transactions include, but are not limited to, various arrangements to sell or acquire real estate related investments, such as loan syndications, participations, derivatives, joint ventures or other similar transactions. These transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis.

          As discussed in Note 12, the Company issued $2.55 billion of senior unsecured notes on May 10, 2007. Goldman, Sachs & Co., an affiliate of a member of the Investor Group, served as one of the three global coordinators and joint bookrunners for the offering. The Company used certain of the proceeds of the notes to repay approximately $2.0 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the Company's bridge loan agreement. Goldman Sachs Credit Partners, L.P., an affiliate of a member of the Investor Group, served as a sponsor of the bridge loan agreement.

F-79


    Administrative Services Previously Provided by GMAC and their Affiliates

          Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company incurred expenses for certain administrative services provided by GMAC and their affiliates. A $0.4 million benefit was recorded for the period from January 1, 2006 to March 22, 2006 as a result of the settlement process in connection with closing the Sponsor Transactions. Such expenses were reported as a component of other expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

24. Comprehensive Income

        SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," established accounting standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components and required that all revenues, expenses, gains and losses recognized during the period be included in comprehensive income, regardless of whether these items are considered to be results of operations for the period.

25. Segment Information

        The operating results for the Company's six reportable business segments have been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This standard is based on a management approach, which requires

F-80



presentation of business segments based upon a company's organization and internal reporting of operating results to the company's chief operating decision maker. The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the Company's business segments are the same as those described in Note 3, except that disaggregated results have been prepared using a management approach, which is substantially consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in the operating-decision process. Material inter-segment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

          The Company's business segments are separately managed and organized based on geography and the type of business conducted. The Company has six reportable business segments: North American Lending and Mortgage Banking, North American Investments and Funds Management, North American Servicing, Asian Operations, European Operations and North American Affordable Housing.

    North American Lending and Mortgage Banking

          The Company's North American Lending and Mortgage Banking segment provides borrowers with a broad range of financial products that may be used to finance most types of commercial properties. The Company is one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in North America in terms of principal amount of financing arranged. The Company sources new lending opportunities through its commercial mortgage banking network in North America, which has more than 26 offices located in 18 states, and through its existing relationships with property owners and developers and other third parties in the United States.

          The Company originates loans and arranges other forms of financing covering a broad spectrum of asset classes both for its own account and for sale to GSEs and other third parties, such as insurance companies and major financial institutions, for whom it acts as a correspondent lender. The Company reduces the principal risk associated with its North American proprietary lending activities by monetizing a significant portion of the financing that it originates through securitizations, syndications, participations and other sales.

    North American Investments and Funds Management

          The Company's North American Investments and Funds Management segment focuses on the sponsorship and management of real estate debt and equity funds, as well as the management of its own real estate debt and equity investments. The Company manages private funds, separate accounts and commercial real estate CDOs. The Company earns recurring management fees based, in part, on the amount of third-party assets under its management, or in the case of certain funds that it manages, on the amount of capital commitments from fund investors during the commitment period. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive incentive fees that are calculated based on returns generated by those investments if certain thresholds are achieved. The Company identifies a significant amount of these investment opportunities through its commercial real estate lending and mortgage banking activities.

    North American Servicing

          The Company's North American Servicing segment carries out primary, master and special servicing activities for commercial real estate loans that are originated by the Company or by third parties and for securitized loan pools in North America. The Company is also an approved servicer of loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHA. The Company's servicing activities also provide recurring fee-based income, including servicing fees and trust fees that it earns on escrow balances for loans that it services.

    Asian Operations

          The Company's Asian Operations segment carries out a range of commercial real estate finance activities that leverages the experience and expertise that it has gained in its North American operations and provides the Company with a geographically diverse source of income. With offices located in seven cities in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and China, the segment currently focuses on making real estate equity investments, acquiring portfolios of non-performing and under-performing commercial and residential real estate loans and originating and servicing commercial real estate loans. The Company's Asian operations have historically focused on the Japanese real estate market but in recent years have expanded to other Asian markets on an opportunistic basis. The Company is a purchaser of distressed commercial real estate debt in Japan and Taiwan, where it invests in non-performing and under-performing loans.

    European Operations

          The Company's European Operations segment conducts a range of commercial real estate finance activities in the United Kingdom, Ireland and selected countries in Continental Europe, primarily through Capmark Bank Europe p.l.c., an Irish bank with lending authority throughout Europe. The segment's operations leverage the experience and expertise that it has gained in North America and Asia and currently focuses on originating and servicing commercial real estate loans and making real estate equity investments.

    North American Affordable Housing

          The Company's North American Affordable Housing segment manages low income housing tax credit, or "LIHTC," equity investments on behalf of third-party investors. LIHTC investments have been aggregated by the Company into funds and equity in those funds has been sold to tax credit investors. These funds generate a return or yield to the investors based on their purchase price over the life of the tax credits and the Company provides a guaranteed yield to the third-party investors on many of these funds. The Company no longer syndicates funds. Previously, the Company operated an affordable housing debt platform that specialized in the origination of tax advantaged debt supporting the development of low income housing under a variety of proprietary and GSE-supported underwriting programs. In February 2007, the Company sold a majority of this platform to an unaffiliated buyer as further discussed in Note 3.

          Consistent with the Company's management reporting, the business segments do not include corporate administrative and support functions or certain immaterial businesses. The Company also does not allocate income taxes to its business segments or include in its segment reporting the adjustments required by push down accounting or any other eliminations, reclassifications or other

F-82



adjustments that are made to conform the Company's management reporting to the consolidated financial statements. These items are included in the tables that follow under the heading "Corporate and other" as further explained below:

    Corporate activity primarily consists of unallocated personnel-related expenses for departments such as corporate accounting and finance, legal, information technology, human resources and internal audit. Corporate activity also includes unallocated net interest income, noninterest income and provision for loan losses.

    Consolidated affordable housing partnerships represent certain upper-tier and lower-tier low-income housing tax credit partnerships that are excluded from the North American Affordable Housing segment's results but included in the Company's consolidated financial statements pursuant to SFAS No. 66 and FIN 46R.

    The accounting methodology for deferring placement fees in the Company's management reporting is different than in the consolidated financial statements. While the use of different accounting methodologies results in the recognition of different levels of noninterest income and noninterest expense in any given reporting period, the amount of income before income tax provision is the same.

    Eliminations and other adjustments are made to conform the Company's management reporting to the consolidated financial statements.

    The segments' results in the Company's management reporting do not reflect the push down accounting adjustments that were required to be made to the Company's consolidated financial statements in connection with the Sponsor Transactions.

          Because management's segment level reporting does not include the push down accounting adjustments related to the change in basis between Predecessor and Successor periods, the amounts in such Predecessor and Successor periods for 2006 are prepared on a consistent basis and have therefore been combined for comparability purposes. This presentation is consistent with the form in which the chief operating decision maker has reviewed such information during the year.

          Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006 represents the mathematical combination of the Predecessor and Successor periods for comparative purposes.

          Net revenue consists of net interest income after provision for loan losses plus noninterest income. Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets (including such assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2006). These items are attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the assets.

26. Regulatory Matters

        Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to GSE and HUD minimum net worth requirements. Failure to meet minimum net worth requirements can result in the initiation of certain actions by these entities that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company was in compliance with these minimum net worth requirements as of December 31, 2007.

          Capmark Bank and Escrow Bank must maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios to be considered "well capitalized" under the capital rules of the FDIC. In addition, both banks have agreed with the FDIC to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of not less than 8.0%. The following table summarizes the U.S. banks' regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:

Total risk-based capital   10.0 % 14.76 % 387.54 % 16.89 % 358.81 %

          Capmark Bank Europe is required to comply with various laws, rules and regulations in Ireland. These requirements, among others, require Capmark Bank Europe to maintain certain capital adequacy and liquidity ratios calculated in accordance with applicable laws and related

F-87



accounting standards in Ireland. The following table summarizes Capmark Bank Europe's regulatory capital are liquidity ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:

 
  Ratio threshold
  December 31,
2007

  December 31,
2006

 
Capital adequacy   15% minimum   63.49 % 53.34 %
Liquidity   Note (1)   113.00 % 28.77 %

(1)
The liquidity ratio minimum was 25% of net borrowings as of December 31, 2006. The Irish Financial Regulator subsequently revised the liquidity ratio calculation and established a new required minimum as of March 31, 2007 to ensure that there are sufficient cash inflows to meet 100% of cash outflows within an eight day period.

          Capmark Securities Inc. is subject to the SEC's minimum net capital requirements. Capmark Securities Inc.'s net capital requirement was $250,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

27. Earnings per Share

        The tables below demonstrate how the Company has computed basic and diluted earnings per share. In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock was split into 412,803.348 shares. For comparative purposes, all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. The denominator in each of the tables below includes shares of common stock issued and sold to employees and non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 that are reported as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

27. Earnings per Share (Continued)

        The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 excludes 23.1 million and 37.2 million, respectively, antidilutive stock options with time-based vesting conditions. Additionally, the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from March 23, 2006 to December 31, 2006 excludes 11.0 million and 12.1 million, respectively, stock options with performance-based vesting conditions because the performance conditions had not been achieved at the end of the reporting period. No potentially dilutive instruments were issued prior to March 23, 2006.

          The summarized financial information presented above regarding the investees' total assets, total liabilities, total equity, total revenue and net income (loss) is derived from the latest financial statements available as of the Company's respective reporting dates. The latest available financial information generally lags the Company's reporting dates and periods. The Company estimates its equity income for the lag periods; therefore, there is not a direct correlation between the Company's recorded equity investment as of the reporting dates and the investees' total equity at their respective lagged reporting dates. Also, the equity income recorded by the Company, as presented above and in the consolidated statement of income (equity in income (loss) of joint ventures and partnerships), includes gains and losses on the disposition of equity investments.

CAPMARK FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Organization and Operations

        Capmark Financial Group Inc. ("Capmark") is a diversified company that provides a broad range of financial services to investors in commercial real estate-related assets. Capmark has three core businesses: lending and mortgage banking, investments and funds management, and loan servicing. Capmark operates in North America, Europe and Asia. As used herein, the terms "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Capmark and its subsidiaries as a consolidated group, except where it is clear that the term means only Capmark.

          Prior to March 23, 2006, the Company was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GMAC LLC, formerly known as General Motors Acceptance Corporation ("GMAC"). On March 23, 2006, an investor entity owned by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., Five Mile Capital Partners LLC, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Dune Capital Management LP (collectively, the "Sponsors") acquired a controlling equity stake in the Company from a subsidiary of GMAC. In connection with the acquisition, the percentage ownership interests of both the Sponsors and GMAC were reduced proportionately by the sale of common stock to employees of the Company who acquired an initial aggregate equity interest of approximately four percent. As a result of subsequent sales of common stock to those and additional employees and non-employee directors (collectively, the "Management Stockholders"), less repurchases of common stock from employees no longer with the Company, the Sponsors own a majority interest of approximately 74 percent, the Management Stockholders own an equity interest of approximately five percent and a subsidiary of GMAC owns an equity interest of approximately 21 percent as of March 31, 2008. The aforementioned changes in ownership will be referred to as the "Sponsor Transactions" in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Risks and Uncertainties

        The Company's primary business risks include: credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate and other market risks, and operational risk as more fully described in Note 2 to the Company's 2007 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's prospectus filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 26, 2008 in accordance with Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Management of these risks affects both the level and stability of the Company's earnings.

3. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

          The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial reporting. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. The Company's estimates and assumptions are affected by risks and uncertainties, including those associated with credit exposure and interest rate and market spread volatility. Management uses available information in developing estimates and assumptions. Future

F-106



changes in credit and market trends and conditions may occur which could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

          The Company consolidates all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries that it controls. In certain cases, economic ownership interests and control do not strictly align and there are other specific consolidation criteria that must be applied under GAAP, and in those cases the Company follows the accounting policies more fully disclosed in Note 3 to its 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

          In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company's results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

    Sale of Operations

          In February 2007, the Company sold a majority of its affordable housing debt platform to an unaffiliated buyer for approximately $500 million in cash and the buyer also assumed approximately $700 million of related financing obligations. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $65.3 million and reported the gain as a component of other gains, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. At the time of the transaction, the Company retained approximately $300 million of investment securities associated with the affordable housing debt platform that were not included in the sale. The earnings and cash flows of the entire affordable housing debt platform are fully consolidated in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The affordable housing debt platform was not classified as a discontinued operation because its operations and cash flows could not be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company. The affordable housing debt platform was included in the North American Affordable Housing business segment. See Note 20 for segment information.

Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

          The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 3 to its 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as of March 31, 2008, except that on January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," or "SFAS No. 157," and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," or "SFAS No. 159," as more fully discussed below and in Note 14 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

    Fair Value

          The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value

F-107


measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies are required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the method in which the Company determines fair value but did require additional disclosures as discussed in Note 14.

          The Company also adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to irrevocably elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 requires that the difference between the carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities elected and the fair value of such instruments be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company elected fair value accounting for certain loan assets and deposit liabilities not previously carried at fair value. The after-tax cumulative effect adjustment from electing the fair value option for the selected financial instruments decreased retained earnings by $9.8 million on January 1, 2008. See Note 14 for additional information.

    Recently Issued Accounting Standards

          Recently issued accounting standards that may have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements are more fully disclosed in Note 3 to the Company's 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. The following standards have been issued subsequent to the release of the Company's 2007 audited consolidated financial statements.

          In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 157-2, "Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157," or "FSP FAS 157-2." This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP FAS 157-2 became effective upon issuance and was adopted by the Company.

          In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," or "SFAS No. 161." SFAS No. 161 changes disclosure requirements about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the disclosures included in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

F-108


          In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets," or "FSP FAS 142-3." This FSP amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The FSP affects entities with recognized intangible assets and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in business combinations and asset acquisitions. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP 142-3 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

          In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," or "SFAS No. 162," which, when effective, identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 162 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

4. Investment Securities

        Investment securities include: commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"); asset-backed securities ("ABS"); collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") which may be collateralized by CMBS, unsecured real estate investment trust debt and other real estate related investments; tax-exempt securities; certain Japanese bonds ("TMK" securities); securities backed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Government Sponsored Enterprise or "GSE" securities); U.S. Treasury securities; and other investment securities.

          Impairment charges recognized for declines in value of investment securities classified as available for sale considered other-than-temporary were $3.8 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

          The unrealized losses in the tables above were temporary declines in fair value due to unfavorable market conditions and were not reflective of credit deterioration of the securities. In determining that the carrying values are fully recoverable over the expected holding periods, the Company performed credit analyses in relation to these investment securities and has considered the risks and uncertainties regarding future declines in fair value as well as the potential effects that declines in fair value would have on the Company's liquidity. Management believes the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover in value and therefore concluded the unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary.

          The Company reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any changes in classification should be made between "held for sale" and "held for investment." Consideration is given to the Company's intent and ability to hold such loans for the forseeable future or until the loans mature or are paid in full. In making such a determination, the Company considers, among other factors, its liquidity needs, capital requirements, prevailing economic conditions, and the availability of distribution channels into which the Company has historically sold loans. No loans were transferred from "held for sale" to "held for investment" during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

          In connection with the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 159, substantially all of the Company's loans held for sale are accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2008 and, accordingly, do not require a valuation allowance. Approximately $41.4 million of loans held for sale in the Philippines continue to be accounted for at the lower of amortized cost or fair value as of March 31, 2008 due to the highly specialized nature of the underlying loan agreements, which do not readily lend themselves to reliable fair value estimation.

6. Loans Held for Investment

        The following table summarizes the Company's loans held for investment as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, by loan type (in thousands):

 
  March 31,
2008

  December 31,
2007

 
Floating rate mortgage loans   $ 5,180,451   $ 5,167,440  
Fixed rate mortgage loans     907,818     579,909  
Acquired non-performing loans     360,825     358,368  
Construction loans     955,503     809,234  
Loan participations     5,967     5,515  
   
 
 
Total     7,410,564     6,920,466  
Allowance for loan losses     (32,088 )   (28,752 )
   
 
 
Net   $ 7,378,476   $ 6,891,714  
   
 
 

          The "Total" amounts set forth in the table above are equal to the unpaid principal balance of the loans less the amount of any market valuation adjustments applied to loans that were

F-112



previously classified as held for sale and other discounts to carrying value. The aggregate amount of such adjustments/discounts for all loans held for investment was $97.3 million and $106.6 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

          The Company's allowance for loan losses is established, monitored and maintained on the basis of past loan experience, the current composition of the portfolio, historical credit migration, property type diversification, default, loss severity, industry loss experience, economic conditions and trends, and other relevant factors.

          The following table summarizes activity related to the Company's allowance for loan losses (in thousands):

Balance at end of period   $ 32,088   $ 65,524  
   
 
 

          The decline in the allowance for loan losses from March 31, 2007 was primarily due to the charge-off of a fully-reserved loan in the fourth quarter of 2007.

          The Company purchased non-performing loans at significant discounts to the loans' unpaid principal balance. At the time of acquisition, these loans evidenced credit quality deterioration and the probability that not all contractual payments would be collectible. The Company does not maintain an allowance for loan losses on such acquired non-performing loans because when impairments are identified, the carrying values of the loans are immediately written down. The provision for such impairments totaled $4.0 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

          The following table summarizes information about loans originated by the Company that are held for investment and have specifically been identified as being impaired as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

          Based on the Company's impairment analysis, the Company did not record a valuation allowance related to mortgage servicing rights in either period presented.

10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        In connection with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,"or "FIN 48," on January 1, 2007, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $32.2 million due to the accrual of reserves for uncertain tax positions that existed as of the close of the Sponsor Transactions.

          The Company recorded scheduled amortization expense on its intangible assets of $3.3 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

11. Short-term and Long-term Borrowings

12. Deposit Liabilities (Continued)

        In connection with the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company's brokered certificates of deposit ("Brokered CDs") are accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2008.

          The deposits of Capmark Bank US are primarily interest-bearing, issued in denominations of $100,000 or less and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

13. Income Taxes

        Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company had operated within the General Motors ("GM")-controlled tax group under the principles of a tax-sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, the Company was generally treated as a standalone taxpayer, except with regard to foreign tax credits and net operating losses. The Company would receive credit for such tax attributes only if the GM group as a whole could utilize such benefits.

          Upon the closing of the Sponsor Transactions, the Company became deconsolidated from the GM-controlled tax group. Therefore, the Company is no longer an eligible member of the GM consolidated tax group for any periods after the date of the Sponsor Transactions. Thus, the Company is now liable for worldwide taxes based solely on its consolidated operations as a standalone taxpayer. Moreover, based on applicable tax rules, certain tax attributes represented by net operating losses and foreign tax credits were specifically allocated by GM to the Company in respect to an intercompany receivable due from GM. These amounts were reclassified as deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of the close of the Sponsor Transactions.

          The Company recognized approximately $4.7 million and $4.1 million of gross interest and penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company accrued approximately $54.4 million and $49.7 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

          The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions, both within and outside the United States. Accordingly, the Company is, from time to time, under examination in certain tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for the respective tax jurisdiction. Within specific countries, the Company may be subject to audit by various tax authorities, or subsidiaries operating within the country may be subject to different statute of limitations expiration dates. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination in the Company's major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2008:

United States—Federal   2001 and forward
United States—Individual States   1994 and forward
Japan   2001 and forward
Ireland   2003 and forward
Canada   2005 and forward
Taiwan   2006 and forward

          Based upon the expiration of statutes of limitations and/or conclusion of tax examinations in several jurisdictions, management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of previously unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2008 for the items discussed above may decrease by up to $36.6 million within the next 12 months.

F-117


          The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has a policy to examine the income tax returns of large corporate taxpayers, including GM and its subsidiaries. Prior to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company was included in the GM consolidated tax group, which is currently under IRS examination for tax years 2001 through the Sponsor Transactions date. Subsequent to the Sponsor Transactions, the Company may be audited by federal, state, foreign and local taxing authorities. Management believes that an adequate provision for contingencies related to all income taxes and interest as of March 31, 2008 has been established in accordance with FIN 48. Pursuant to the legal agreements entered into in connection with the Sponsor Transactions, GMAC has agreed to indemnify the Company for any and all taxes with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries relating to pre-closing tax periods to the extent the aggregate of such taxes exceed a specified amount. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify GMAC for any and all tax liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries related to pre-closing tax periods in an amount not to exceed the specified amount, which specified amount has been accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company accounts for a significant portion of its financial instruments at fair value or considers fair value in their measurement.

Fair Value Hierarchy

          In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company categorizes its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

          As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

          Level 1—financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded.

          Level 2—financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

    a)
    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

    b)
    Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

F-118


    c)
    Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including interest rate and currency swaps); and

    d)
    Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

          Level 3—financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Determination of Fair Value

          Under SFAS No. 157, the Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company's policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as described above. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore are based primarily upon management's own estimates, are calculated based upon the Company's pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

          Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including those accounted for at fair value prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities

          Investment securities classified as trading and available for sale are carried at fair value. Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical instruments, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, and certain commercial mortgage products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain CMBS, ABS and CDOs. In cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Investment securities classified within Level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid investment securities.

F-119


Loans Held for Sale

          In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company elected to account for substantially all of its loans held for sale at fair value. This allows the offsetting of the changes in fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge such loans without the administrative burden of complying with the stringent requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. The fair values of the Company's loans held for sale are generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including updated securitization spreads where appropriate, interest rates, whole loan spreads for each property type based on loan-to-cost ratios of collateral and other factors, and bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. In addition, the impact of potential extensions, interest-rate floors and unfunded commitments on the Company's floating rate loan portfolio is taken into consideration when determining the fair value for each loan. The Company also considers changes in borrowers' credit status and the fair value of collateral in estimating the fair value of certain loans. Although the Company bases its loan valuations on observable inputs to the extent possible, the valuations are estimates. Changes in market conditions, borrower credit-worthiness and collateral values between the dates of management's estimates and the dates of disposition of the loans can have a significant impact on the amounts ultimately realized upon disposition. Due to significant use of unobservable pricing inputs, the majority of the Company's loans held for sale as of March 31, 2008 are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

          As of March 31, 2008, loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected had an aggregate fair value of $7.7 billion and an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $8.2 billion. Interest income on these loans continues to be recorded as a component of interest income in the consolidated statement of operations. Net realized and unrealized losses of $327.5 million resulting from the changes in fair value of these loans were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and reported as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company no longer defers recognition of placement fees and direct loan origination costs with respect to its loans held for sale because such loans are carried at fair value. Previously, placement fees and direct loan origination costs were deferred as part of the carrying amount of the loans and recognized as a component of the net gain or loss on sale of such loans.

Equity Investments

          Substantially all of the Company's equity investments are accounted for under the equity method. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for its equity investments. The Company may elect the fair value option for certain new equity investments on an instrument-by-instrument basis going forward. When such investments are made, the Company will consider facts and circumstances available to estimate the fair value of such equity investments and employ DCF models. In arriving at the fair value, the Company will obtain observable market data, including data on the underlying investments that highlights competitive market conditions affecting occupancy projections, current rental rates and growth prospects, current expense rates, capital improvement needs and certain market pricing parameters of similar quality properties. In addition, the Company will consider access to and need for capital, qualitative assessments of the viability of the investees, evaluation of available financial statements of the investees and prospects for their

F-120



future. When appropriate, the changes in the fair value of these investments will be reported as a component of equity in income (loss) of joint ventures and partnerships in the consolidated statement of operations.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

          Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, precise terms and conditions vary with each transaction and are not readily available. Accordingly, the Company estimates the fair value of MSRs using DCF models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. These models consider and incorporate portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. The Company periodically reassesses and adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the models to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing an MSR asset. MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy because the valuation inputs are largely unobservable.

Derivative Instruments

          Derivative instruments are carried at fair value. Exchange-traded derivative instruments that are valued using quoted prices are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. However, few classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange; thus, the majority of the Company's derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use readily observable market parameters and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives include basic interest rate swaps and options and credit default swaps. Derivatives that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market parameters and are less actively traded, or have trade activity that is one-way, are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives include unfunded fixed-rate loan commitments.

Deposit Liabilities—Brokered CDs

          In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company elected the fair value option for its Brokered CDs. To estimate the fair value of Brokered CDs, cash flows are evaluated taking into consideration any embedded derivative features and then discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturities. Brokered CDs are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because the valuation inputs are primarily based on readily observable pricing information.

          The fair value option for Brokered CDs allows the offsetting of the changes in fair value of the Brokered CDs and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge such deposits without the administrative burden of complying with the stringent requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. Interest expense on these Brokered CDs continues to be recorded as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded an $11.2 million net loss resulting from the change in fair value of these Brokered CDs and reported such change as a component of other gains, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

        The table above summarizes the changes in fair value for all financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Level 3 financial assets presented in the table include investment securities classified as trading and available for sale, loans held for sale, and net derivatives. These instruments were valued using pricing models and DCF models that incorporated assumptions, which in management's judgment, reflect the assumptions a marketplace participant would use.

          The following table presents the change in carrying value of those assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, for which impairment was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

          Loans held for investment with a carrying amount of $38.6 million were written down to their fair value of $33.9 million, less costs to sell of $1.4 million (or $32.5 million), resulting in a loss of $6.1 million, which was recorded as an increase to the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

          SFAS No. 159 requires that the difference between the carrying value of the financial instrument before the election of the fair value option and the fair value of the instrument be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. The following table summarizes the impact of adopting the fair value option on January 1, 2008. Amounts shown represent the carrying value of the affected instruments before and after the change in accounting resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 159 (dollars in thousands):

15. Derivative Instruments

        The Company primarily uses derivative instruments in connection with its risk management activities. The Company's primary objective in utilizing these derivative instruments is to minimize market risk volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks related to the Company's assets and liabilities. Minimizing this volatility enables the Company to mitigate the impact of market risk on earnings.

          The derivative instruments that the Company uses include swaps, caps, forwards, options, swaptions, spread locks, loan commitments and treasury-related derivative instruments, and may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter market.

          In contemplation of the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company discontinued fair value hedge accounting for its pools of fixed rate loans held for sale in late 2007. Also in 2007, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps (cash flow hedges) associated with a portion of the escrow funds maintained and managed by Escrow Bank USA ("Escrow Bank"), a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company.

16. Stock-Based Compensation

        In connection with the Sponsor Transactions, the Company implemented a stock option award program which provides Management Stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares of common stock at a specified price, once certain time-based and performance-based vesting conditions are met. These stock options are generally granted on five-year and three-year graded vesting schedules with certain requisite service conditions. The options expire ten years after the grant date. Certain of these stock options become vested if the Company achieves specific annual performance targets.

          The following table summarizes stock option activity and related information for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (number of options in thousands):

16. Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        Time-based options relating to 3.3 million shares of common stock vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008, of which time-based options relating to 3.3 million shares were exercisable.

          There were 8.4 million and 6.5 million shares available for future grants of options as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

          The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.93. The fair value of the option awards was measured as of the grant date and estimated through a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Because the Company's common stock is not traded publicly, certain assumptions were determined using appropriate industry sector benchmarks.

          The Company recorded $4.2 million (net of tax benefit of $2.5 million) and $3.7 million (net of tax benefit of $2.1 million) in compensation expense associated with the vesting of time-based options for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No compensation expense has been recognized for its performance-based options because the performance criteria have not been met. There was $40.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested option awards as of March 31, 2008, including performance-based option awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.63 years.

17. Guarantees

        In the ordinary course of business, the Company issues various guarantees. The Company's outstanding guarantees as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consisted of the following (in thousands):

18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

        The Company holds variable interests in syndicated affordable housing partnerships where the Company provides unaffiliated investors with a guaranteed yield on their investment. These partnerships are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements under the financing method in accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2008 was $1.7 billion, representing the $1.1 billion financing liability included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (i.e., a component of real estate syndication proceeds and related liabilities), $526.8 million of guaranteed yield due to the unaffiliated investors on their initial investment and approximately $126.2 million of unfunded commitments from unaffiliated investors.

F-125


          The Company is subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations, and various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted against it. As of March 31, 2008, after consultation with counsel, it is the opinion of management that potential liability arising from pending litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

19. Related Party Transactions

        The Company has a number of related party arrangements in conjunction with its business as more fully discussed in Note 23 to the Company's 2007 audited consolidated financial statements. A number of these arrangements arose in connection with the Sponsor Transactions. Related party arrangements include: annual management fees paid to the Sponsors and GMAC; transaction fees paid to certain members of the Sponsors related to the issuance of debt; arm's length transactions with members of or affiliates of the Sponsors in the ordinary course of business; derivative arrangements with an affiliate of one of the Sponsors; debt financing arrangements with equity method investees; servicing of dealership loans owned by an affiliate of GMAC; sale of businesses to and facility leasing arrangements with former employees; and certain expense reimbursements made to the Chief Executive Officer. The financial impacts related to these arrangements have been properly reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not entered into any additional material related party arrangements subsequent to December 31, 2007.

20. Segment Information

        The operating results for the Company's six reportable business segments have been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This standard is based on a management approach, which requires presentation of business segments based upon a company's organization and internal reporting of operating results to the company's chief operating decision maker. The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the Company's business segments are the same as those described in Note 3, except that disaggregated results have been prepared using a management approach, which is substantially consistent with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in the operating-decision process. Material inter-segment transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

          The Company's business segments are managed and organized based on geography and the type of business conducted. The Company has six reportable business segments: North American Lending and Mortgage Banking, North American Investments and Funds Management, North American Servicing, Asian Operations, European Operations and North American Affordable Housing.

21. Regulatory Matters

        Certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to GSE and the Department of Housing and Urban Development minimum net worth requirements. Failure to meet minimum net worth requirements can result in the initiation of certain actions by these entities that, if undertaken, could

F-127



have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company was in compliance with these minimum net worth requirements as of March 31, 2008.

          Capmark Bank US and Escrow Bank must maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios to be considered "well capitalized" under the capital rules of the FDIC. In addition, both banks have agreed with the FDIC to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of not less than 8.0%. The following table summarizes the U.S. banks' regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

 
   
  March 31, 2008
  December 31, 2007
 
 
  Minimum to be Well-Capitalized
  Capmark Bank
  Escrow Bank
  Capmark Bank

Tier 1 leverage   5.0 % 12.5 % 91.0 % 11.6 % 61.9 %
Tier 1 risk-based capital   6.0 % 11.6 % 450.5 % 12.4 % 387.5 %
Total risk-based capital   10.0 % 13.9 % 450.5 % 14.8 % 387.5 %

          Capmark Bank Europe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is required to comply with various laws, rules and regulations in Ireland. These requirements, among others, require Capmark Bank Europe to maintain certain capital adequacy and liquidity ratios calculated in accordance with applicable laws and related accounting standards in Ireland. The following table summarizes Capmark Bank Europe's regulatory capital and liquidity ratios as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

 
  Ratio minimum
  March 31, 2008
  December 31, 2007
 
Capital adequacy   15 % 41 % 64 %
Liquidity   100 % 107 % 113 %

          Capmark Securities Inc., a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company, is subject to the SEC's minimum net capital requirements. Capmark Securities Inc.'s net capital requirement was $250,000 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Capmark Securities Inc.'s net capital totaled $20.9 million and $21.3 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

22. Earnings per Share

        The tables below demonstrate how the Company has computed basic and diluted earnings per share. The denominator in each of the tables below includes shares of common stock issued and sold to employees and non-employee directors for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are reported as mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

          The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 excludes 32.9 million anti-dilutive stock options with time-based vesting conditions because their effect would reduce the net loss per share. Additionally, the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 excludes 9.8 million stock options with performance-based vesting conditions because the performance conditions had not been achieved at the end of the reporting period.

22. Earnings per Share (Continued)

        The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 excludes 34.2 million anti-dilutive stock options with time-based vesting conditions. Additionally, the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 excludes 10.6 million stock options with performance-based vesting conditions because the performance conditions had not been achieved at the end of the reporting period.

23. Subsequent Events

        In April 2008, in two separate transactions, certain subsidiaries of the Company completed the sale of significant interests in 39 loans in the Company's European loan portfolio to a third party institutional buyer for a total aggregate sale price of approximately $1.8 billion. The net proceeds from the two sales were used to repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. Realized losses related to the loan interests sold as well as unrealized losses related to the loan interests retained were recognized in the first quarter of 2008 and reported as a component of net (losses) gains on loans in the condensed consolidated statement of operations because the sale prices were indicative of fair value as of March 31, 2008.

24. Supplemental Financial Information

        Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed the Company's borrowings under its senior unsecured credit facilities. The guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several.
