Commitments and Contingencies

Impact of Global Macroeconomic Conditions

Global economic trends and economic conditions, including heightened inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, increased interest rates, currency fluctuations and challenges in the supply chain, the war in Ukraine and the lingering aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may in the future have, an adverse impact on the Company's business, the U.S. and global economies, the real estate industry and the Company's borrowers, and the performance of the properties securing the Company's loans. As of December 31, 2022, no contingencies have been recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as a result of such trends and conditions; however, if market conditions worsen or extend, it may have long-term impacts on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Unfunded Commitments

As part of its lending activities, the Company commits to certain funding obligations which are not advanced at loan closing and that have not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These commitments to extend credit are made as part of the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio and are generally utilized for base building work, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions, and interest reserves. The aggregate amount of unrecognized unfunded loan commitments existing as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $426.1 million and $487.8 million, respectively.

The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company of $17.3 million and $4.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company establishes an accrued liability for loss contingencies when a settlement arising from a legal proceeding is both probable and reasonably estimable. If a legal matter is not probable and reasonably estimable, no such liability is recorded. Examples of this include (i) early stages of a legal proceeding, (ii) damages that are unspecified or cannot be determined, (iii) discovery has not started or is incomplete or (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions. If these items exist, an estimated range of potential loss cannot be determined and as such the Company does not record an accrued liability.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings and has not recorded an accrued liability for loss contingencies.
