Important Disclosures Forward-looking Statements The information set forth herein contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements include the timing and terms of the rights offering and the future activities and performance of CMCT, and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "target," "expect," "intend," "might," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would," "continue," "pursue," "potential," "forecast," "seek," "plan," “opportunity,” "should", or "goal" or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about CMCT's plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds. Such forward- looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT's management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the scope, severity and duration of the current pandemic of COVID-19, and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the winding down or termination of government assistance programs implemented to address the pandemic, (ii) the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of CMCT and its tenants and business partners, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets, among others, (iii) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT's development activities, (iv) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (v) fluctuations in market rents, including as a result of COVID-19, (vi) the effect of inflation and higher interest rates on the operations and profitability of CMCT and (vii) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT's actual results to differ materially from CMCT's expectations are discussed under the section "Risk Factors" in CMCT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond CMCT's control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by CMCT or any other person that CMCT's objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable law.

Important Information - Debt and Preferred Summary 1. Excludes: (a) $6.7 million of secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans that are treated as secured borrowing because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral, and (b) premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. 2. In May 2018, we completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $38.2 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The notes mature on March 20, 2043, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. Based on the anticipated repayments of our collateralized SBA 7(a) loans, at issuance, we estimated the weighted average life of the notes to be approximately two years. 3. In June 2020, CMCT borrowed funds from the Federal Reserve through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”). Advances under the PPPLF carry an interest rate of 0.35%, are made on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on the amount of loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program and are secured by loans made by CMCT under the Paycheck Protection Program. The maturity date of PPPLF borrowings is the same as the maturity date of the loans pledged to secure the extension of credit, generally two or five years. At maturity, both principal and accrued interest are due. 4. In October 2018, CMCT entered into a secured revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate that, as amended, allows CMCT to borrow up to $209.5 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation (the “2018 revolving credit facility”). In September 2020, the 2018 revolving credit facility was amended (the “2018 Credit Facility Modification”) to remedy the effect that COVID-19 had on CMCT’s ability to borrow under the 2019 revolving credit facility during the period from September 2, 2020 through June 30, 2021 (the “Deferral Period”). The 2018 revolving credit facility bore interest during the Deferral Period at (A) the base rate plus 1.05% or (B) LIBOR plus 2.05% and (ii) after the Deferral Period, at (A) the base rate plus 0.55% or (B) LIBOR plus 1.55%. The 2018 revolving credit facility is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2018 revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain of our properties. The 2018 revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions. As of December 31, 2021, $117.6 million was available for future borrowings. 5. In May 2020, CMCT entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility with a bank (the "2020 unsecured revolving credit facility") pursuant to which CMCT can borrow up to a maximum of $10,000,000. Outstanding advances under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at the rate of 1.00%. CMCT also pays a revolving credit facility fee of 1.12% with each advance under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility, which fee is subject to a cap of $112,000 in the aggregate. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as certain other conditions. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility matures in May 2022. 6. Outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of December 31, 2021 of 8,126,597, less redemptions of 223,295 shares, multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Includes shares issued to CIM Group in lieu of cash payment of the asset management fee. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. 7. Outstanding Series D Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of December 31, 2021 of 56,857 multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. 8. Outstanding Series L Preferred Stock represents total shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021 of 5,387,160, multiplied by the stated value of $28.37 per share. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount.

Important Disclosures Annualized rent represents gross monthly base rent, or gross monthly contractual rent under parking and retail leases, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail. Assets Owned and Operated (AOO) represents the aggregate assets owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM contributes alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has discretion, in each case without duplication. Investment-Level Returns represent the performance of an investment based on the equity contributed to the investment and distributed from the investment, provided that generally, (a) distributions resulting from debt proceeds or third party capital used to replace equity contributions are applied as a reduction in contributions and, accordingly, are not treated as distributions; (b) any entity-level debt is allocated to the investments and assumed to be investment-level debt, the significant effects of which are as follows: (i) equity contributed is reduced by the amount of assumed debt and (ii) equity distributed is reduced by the amount of repayments on such debt; (c) temporary (working capital) contributions may be treated as a reduction of total contributions in the period the capital is returned to the fund and (d) certain amounts re-contributed to an investment are deemed to be reductions in prior distributions rather than additional contributions; the effects of (a) - (d) are to reduce the amount of distributions and contributions. Deposits and other pre-closing cash outflows are generally assumed to be contributed to the investment at closing. Returns are calculated after taking into account investment-level costs, but before taking into account entity-level costs and expenses, organizational expenses, management fees and taxes, the effect of which is expected to be material. DISCLAIMERS. The results that an investor will realize will depend, to a significant degree, on the assets actually purchased by CMCT from time to time and the actual performance of such assets, which may be impacted by economic and market factors, including COVID-19. The actual performance of CMCT will be subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those on slide 2. In no circumstance should the hypothetical returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that a specific investment or group of investments will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total loss of their investments. Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss. There can be no assurance that CMCT will achieve comparable results, that the returns sought will be achieved or that CMCT will be able to execute its proposed strategy. Actual realized returns on investments may differ materially from any return indicated herein. Property Pictures. The property/properties shown may not be representative of all transactions of a given type or of investments generally, may represent an investment/investments that performed better than other investments made by CIM-funds, is not necessarily indicative of the performance of all such investments by CIM-funds and is intended solely to be illustrative of the types of investments that may be made by CMCT. There can be no assurance similar investment opportunities will be available to CMCT or that CMCT will generate similar returns. Logos.

Important Disclosures Capital Returned to Shareholders The amounts of regular and special cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding as of the applicable record dates. All amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019. Past performance is not indicative of future results. CMCT is the product of a merger (the “Merger”) between a subsidiary of CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM REIT”), a fund operated by CIM Group, and PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC”), a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust, consummated in Q1 2014. Represents dividends paid on our common stock from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2020. Excludes a special dividend paid to PMC Commercial Trust’s stockholders in connection with the Merger, but includes 2014 dividends received by CIM REIT stockholders prior to the Merger and dividends on convertible preferred stock received by Urban Partners II, LLC, an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, on an as converted basis, in the Merger. The per share equivalent in proceeds from CMCT’s June 2016 tender offer is $6.45, calculated by dividing $210,000,000, the amount used by CMCT to purchase shares of common stock of CMCT in the tender offer, by 32,558,732, the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such tender offer, as adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019. Funds From Operations (FFO) The Company believes that funds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”). Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund CMCT's cash needs, including CMCT's ability to pay dividends. Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) AFFO is a non-GAAP, non- standardized measure which is widely reported by REITs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, as a result, CMCT's AFFO may not be comparable to the AFFO of other REITs. CMCT calculates AFFO by (a) eliminating the impact on FFO of (i) straight-line rent revenue and expense; (ii) amortization of lease inducements; (iii) amortization of above and below market leases (including ground leases); (iv) amortization of above and below market debt, loan premiums and discounts, and deferred loan costs; (v) amortization of tax abatement; (vi) amortization of loan receivable discount and accretion of fees on loans receivable; (vii) unrealized premium adjustment; (viii) deferred income tax expense; (ix) non-cash compensation expense; (x) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (xi) redeemable preferred stock redemptions; and (xii) redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends and (b) subtracting (i) lease inducement payments and (ii) recurring capital expenditures and recurring tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow but may provide additional perspective on CMCT's operating results and our ability to fund cash needs and pay dividends. AFFO should only be considered as a supplement to net income.
