 AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2025(Unaudited) Note 8. Residential Investor Loans - (continued)

Loan ModificationsFor the three months ended September 30, 2025, consistent with our strategic transition from non-core legacy assets, we have adopted a more accelerated approach to resolving modified and legacy loans, accelerating the wind-down of underperforming or non-core legacy assets to proactively reduce long-term exposure. This includes pursuing loan and REO sales, executing structured exits, and, where necessary, accelerating foreclosure or liquidation processes on assets with limited workout potential. We utilize a rigorous and consistently implemented fair value process when evaluating these loans, which involves management’s review of updated appraisals, collateral performance, sales cost estimates, and independent market data when available. This approach, conducted in accordance with GAAP, is designed to ensure that valuations reflect current conditions and project-specific risks. The actual amounts ultimately recovered—whether through foreclosure, collateral sale, or alternative resolutions, such as discounted payoffs or loan sales—may differ significantly from our estimates and could materially affect future earnings. In exchange for a modification, we may receive a partial repayment of principal, a short-term accrual of capitalized interest for a portion of interest due, a capital infusion to replenish interest or capital improvement reserves, and/or termination of all or a portion of the remaining unfunded loan commitment.For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we modified or put into forbearance loans with a total aggregate UPB of $130 million and $353 million, respectively. This balance primarily included modifications involving extensions of loan maturities and/or covenant terms ("Simple Modifications"). An increase in maturity extensions would increase the expected time to repayment with a potential impact on fair values and credit losses. However, given the overall short duration nature of our bridge loans, a certain level of maturity extensions are a routine asset management outcome for these loans, irrespective of market conditions. Additionally, modifications also include changes to the contractual interest rates (including, in certain cases, deferrals of interest) on loans ("Complex Modifications"). Certain loans may represent subsequent modifications of loans that had been previously modified in a prior reporting period. These further modifications may include adjustments to pay rates, deferred interest (floating-to-fixed conversions), maturity extensions (with forbearance or partial repayments), and changes to interest reserves or project completion milestones.The following table presents information regarding loan modifications
