Portfolio Overview ( continued ) Notes: Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. | 12 (1) All loans originated prior to April 1, 2021 were purchased from affiliated entities at fair value plus accrued interest on or subsequent to April 1, 2021 (2) Certain loans are subject to contractual extension options and may be subject to performance based or other conditions as sti pulated in the loan agreement. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities stated herein as certain borrowers may have the right to prepay with or without paying a prepayment penalty. The Company may also extend contractual maturities and amend other terms of the loans in connection with loan modifications. (3) Total Commitment excludes future amounts to be advanced at sole discretion of the lender. (4) "P" = prime rate and depicts floating rate loans that pay interest at the prime rate plus a specific percentage; "PIK" = paid in kind interest. Subtotals represent weighted average rates based on principal outstanding. (5) P&I = principal and interest. I/O = interest only. P&I loans may include interest only periods for a portion of the loan term. (6) Estimated YTM includes a variety of fees and features that affect the total yield, which may include, but is not limited to, OID, exit fees, prepayment fees, unused fees and contingent features. OID is recognized as a discount to the funded loan principal and is accreted to income over the term of the loan. The estimated YTM calculations req uire management to make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and amounts of loan draws on delayed draw loans, the timing and collectability of exit fees, the probability and timing of prepayments and the probability of contingent features occurring. For example, certain credit agreements contain provisions pursuant to which certain PIK interest rates and fees earned by us under such credit agreements will decrease upon the satisfaction of certain specified criteria which we believe may improve the risk profile of the applicable borrower. To be conservative, we have not assumed any prepayment penalties or early payoffs in our estimated YTM calculation. Estimated YTM is based on current management estimates and assumptions, which may change. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. (7) This Loan is subject to prime rate floor. Refer to Note 3 on Page 9 of the consolidated financial statements on Form 10 - Q as of June 30, 2023 for detailed listing of rate floor by loan. (8) This Loan is subject to an interest rate cap. Refer to Note 3 on Page 9 of the consolidated financial statements on Form 10 - Q as of June 30, 2023 for detailed listing of rate cap by loan. (9) The aggregate loan commitment to Loan #3 includes a $15.9 million initial commitment which has a base interest rate of 13.625%, 2.75% PIK and a second commitment of $4.2 million which has an interest rate of 15.00%, 2.00% PIK. The statistics presented reflect the weighted average of the terms under all advances for the total aggregate loan commitment. (10) The aggregate loan commitment to the borrower of Loan #4 includes a $10.9 million initial commitment advanced in April 2021, and a second loan commitment of $2.0 million which was advanced in December 2021.The weighted average yield presented reflects the weighted average of the terms under both advances for the total aggregate loan commitment. (11) The Company has an aggregate commitment of $50.0 million to the borrower of Loan #25. The funding of such commitment is subject to certain conditions precedent being met for which the Company, as lender, may exercise its sole discretion in determining if and when such proceeds are advanced. Accordingly, this commitment is not included in total contractual commitments as of June 30, 2023. During the period from July 1, 2023 through August 9, 2023, the Company advanced approximately $18.8 million of the Loan #25 commitment. (12) As of May 30, 2023, Loan #9 has been placed on non - accrual status.

Collateral Overview (continued) Notes: Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc. | 19 (1) Senior Real Estate Corporate Loans are structured as loans to owner operators secured by real estate. Senior Loans are loans to a property owner and leased to third party tenant. (2) Real estate is based on appraised value as is, or on a comparable cost basis, as completed. The real estate values shown in the collateral table are estimates by a third - party appraiser of the market value of the subject real property in its current physical condition, use, and zoning as of the appraisal date. The appraisals assume that the highest and best use is use as a cannabis cultivator or dispensary, as applicable. The appraisals recognize that the current use is highly regulated by the state in which the property is located; however, there are sales of comparable properties that demonstrate that there is a market for such properties. The appraisals utilize these comparable sales for the appraised property’s value in use. For properties used for cannabis cultiva tion, the appraisals use similar sized warehouses in their conclusion of the subject’s “as - is” value without licenses to cultivate cannabis. However, the appraised value is assumed to be realized from a purchase by anoth er state - licensed cannabis operator or a third party purchaser that would lease the subject property to a state - licensed cannabis operator. The regulatory requirements related to real property used in cannabis - related operations may cause significant delays or difficulties in transferring a property to another cannabis operator, as the state regulator may require inspection and approval of the new tenant/user. Further, the value is also determined using the income approach, based on market lease rates for comparable properties, whether dispensaries or cultivation facilities. It indicates the value to a third - party owner that leases to a dispensary or cultivation facility. Finally, the appraisal contains a value based on the cost for another operator to construct a similar facility, which we refer to as the “cost approach.” We believe the cost approach provides an indication of what another state - licensed operator would pay for a separate facility instead of constructing it itself. The appraisal’s opinion of value reflects current conditions and the likely actions of market participants as of the date of appraisal. It is based on the available information gathered and provided to the appraiser, and does not predict future performance. Changing market or property conditions can and likely will have an effect on the subject’s value. (3) Certain affiliated co - lenders subordinated their interest in the real estate collateral to the Company, thus increasing the collateral coverage for the applicable loan. (4) The real estate collateral coverage ratio represents a weighted portfolio average real estate collateral coverage ratio. N/M Not meaningful. The Company has not advanced principal under this loan as of June 30, 2023.
