2024, we published our second Environmental, Social and Governance Report (the “2024 ESG Report”). The 2024 ESG Report is available on our website at www.chmireit.comunder the section “Investors—Corporate Governance—Highlights”. Information at or connected to our website is not and should not be considered a part of this Proxy Statement. The 2024 ESG Report outlines our progress towards our ESG goals and commitments across three key ESG areas:

| • | environmental responsibility and sustainability; |

| • | social responsibility; and |

| • | corporate governance. |

Our environmental strategy is based on simplicity and transparency. Specifically, we endeavor to minimize our environmental impact by reducing waste that is generated by our Company and sent to landfills, purchasing, to the extent practicable, environmentally responsible products, and reducing internal paper usage. We believe that the Company’s corporate footprint and business operations have a relatively modest impact on the environment. Nevertheless, we believe in promoting a sustainable environment by using resources as efficiently and responsibly as practicable. Our commitment to these principles is reflected in our daily activities in a variety of ways:

| • | to reduce waste and promote a cleaner environment, we recycle paper, glass, plastic and aluminum cans, electronic equipment, batteries and ink cartridges, and we emphasize electronic communications, record storage e-statements and invoices to reduce our office paper usage; |

| • | to reduce our carbon footprint, we utilize video conferencing as an alternative to business travel; and |

| • | to reduce energy usage, we use Energy Star® certified products, printers and televisions. |

Although we are unable to predict the rate at which climate change will progress, we recognize that the physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our operations. To the extent that climate change impacts changes in weather patterns, assets in which we hold a direct or indirect interest could experience severe weather, including hurricanes, severe winter storms, wildfires and flooding due to increases in storm intensity and rising sea levels, among other effects that could impact house prices and housing-related costs and/or disrupt borrowers’ ability to pay their mortgage. Moreover, long term climate change could trigger extreme weather conditions that result in macroeconomic and demographic shifts. Over time, these conditions could result in repricing of the assets that we hold. There can be no assurance that climate change and severe weather will not have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
