Dear Stockholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I cordially invite you to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting (the "Annual Meeting") of the holders of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Rithm Property Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation ("RPT," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us"). The Annual Meeting will be held at the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (US) LLP, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, on June 2, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

All holders of our Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date (April 13, 2026), or their duly appointed proxies, are authorized to attend the Annual Meeting. Admission to the Annual Meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The matters expected to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting are described in detail below and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we are using the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to stockholders. Accordingly, on or about April 21, 2026, we will send our stockholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet or by telephone. This notice also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. Because we are using the Internet, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We believe the use of the Internet and telephone makes the proxy distribution process more efficient and less costly and helps conserve natural resources.

The Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report") are available at http://www.proxyvote.com and may also be accessed through our website at https://www.rithmpropertytrust.com under the "Financial Info — SEC Filings" section. If you would like to receive a paper or e-mail copy of these documents, you must request one. There is no charge to you for requesting and receiving a copy.

Your vote is important. Please authorize the named proxies to cast your vote over the Internet, by telephone or by completing and returning the proxy card to ensure that your shares are represented. Authorizing and submitting your proxy will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting regardless of whether or not you attend in person. Returning the proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote your shares in person.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, we thank you for your continued interest in and support of our company. We look forward to seeing you on June 2, 2026.

Sincerely,

 */s/ Michael Nierenberg* 

Michael Nierenberg

Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors

This proxy statement is dated April 21, 2026 and is first being made available to the RPT stockholders on or about April 21, 2026.

#### RITHM PROPERTY TRUST INC.

#### 799 Broadway, 8th Floor New York, NY 10003

#### PROXY STATEMENT

#### 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

#### GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

#### Solicitation of Proxies
This Proxy Statement contains information related to the solicitation of proxies for exercise at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on June 2, 2026 at the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (US) LLP, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, for the purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Company on behalf of our Board of Directors (the "Board"). Each of "we," "our," "us," "RPT" and the "Company" refer to Rithm Property Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation. We will pay the costs of soliciting proxies, including preparation and mailing of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"), preparation and assembly of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and the 2025 Annual Report (as defined below), coordination of the Internet and telephone voting process and any additional information furnished to you by us. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We will reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of shares of our Common Stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by Internet and mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for this solicitation.

This Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report") are available at http://www.proxyvote.com. This website address contains the following documents: the Notice, the Proxy Statement and form of proxy card and the 2025 Annual Report. You are encouraged to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials before voting.

#### Annual Meeting Attendance
All holders of our Common Stock at the close of business on the record date of April 13, 2026 (the "Record Date"), or their duly authorized proxies, are authorized to attend the Annual Meeting for the purposes stated in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Admission to the Annual Meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may be asked to present valid photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport, before being admitted. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the Annual Meeting.

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending the Notice to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date. All stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be able to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to request a printed copy by mail or electronically may be found on the Notice and on the website referred to in the Notice, including an option to request paper copies on a continuing basis. On or about April 21, 2026, we intend to make this Proxy Statement available on the Internet and to mail the Notice to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Record Date, Stockholders Entitled to Vote and Quorum
As of April 13, 2026, there were 7,661,770 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Only holders of Common Stock of record as of such Record Date, or their duly authorized proxies, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Our Common Stock constitutes the only class of securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of our Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted on and to vote for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected.

Many stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are distinctions between shares of Common Stock held of record and those owned beneficially.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *Stockholder of record.* If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC ("Equiniti"), you are considered the stockholder of record of those shares and the Notice is being sent directly by RPT to you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • *Beneficial owner of shares held in street name.* If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other intermediary, your shares are held in "street name," you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares and the Notice is being forwarded to you by your broker or other intermediary through which you hold those shares. Brokers and other intermediaries are not typically holders of record for beneficial owners but are "participants" in the Cede & Co./DTC depository system. Shares registered in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC's nominee, are held in accounts for the clients of DTC participants (the banks, brokers and other nominees) and are commonly said to be held in "street name." As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote your shares and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares. Please also note that if you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name", you will need to bring a copy of the brokerage statement reflecting your share ownership as of the Record Date.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes a quorum at each meeting of stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the Annual Meeting.

#### Voting Requirements for the Proposals
***Proposal 1 (Election of Directors):*** Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting, provided that a quorum is present. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Therefore, the four director nominees receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. A stockholder with voting power (whether as a beneficial owner of shares, a designated proxy holder or a broker with discretionary authority to vote shares) who is present, in person or represented by proxy, has the discretion to "withhold" a vote for a director nominee. A vote "withheld" from a director nominee will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

***Proposal 2 (Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP):*** The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. For purposes of this vote, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because brokers are permitted to vote on ratification of the appointment of auditors, there will be no broker non-votes on this proposal.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

***Proposal 3 (Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation):*** The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. For purposes of this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Although the vote on this advisory proposal is non-binding, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") and the Board value the opinion of stockholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

***Proposal 4 (Approval of Omnibus Incentive Plan):*** The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. For purposes of this vote, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

#### Broker Non-Votes
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee of record submits a proxy for the Annual Meeting but does not vote on a particular proposal because it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and it does not otherwise have discretion to vote the uninstructed shares.

Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers only have the discretion to vote those shares for which they have not received voting instructions on "routine" matters, but not on "non-routine" matters.

 **Under NYSE rules, Proposal 1 (Election of Directors), Proposal 3 (Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation) and Proposal 4 (Approval of Omnibus Incentive Plan) are considered non-routine matters.** 

Consequently, if you do not give your broker or other nominee voting instructions, your broker or other nominee will not be able to vote on these proposals and broker non-votes may exist with respect to each of these Proposals for which you did not specifically authorize your broker or other nominee to cast a vote.

Proposal 2 (Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP) is considered "routine" under the NYSE rules. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee, the broker or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as RPT's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, even if the broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from you.

Unless you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares held in street name, your shares will NOT be voted on any of the proposals other than Proposal 2 (Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP) at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, RPT urges you to give instructions to your bank or broker or other nominee of record as to how you wish your shares to be voted so you may vote on these important matters.

#### Voting Instructions
If you are a stockholder of record, you may authorize your proxy by U.S. mail, Internet or telephone by following the instructions in the Notice. If you requested a paper copy of the proxy materials, you also may submit your proxy by mail by following the instructions included with your proxy card. The deadline for submitting your proxy by Internet or telephone is 11:59 pm Eastern Time the day before the Annual Meeting date. The designated proxy will vote according to your instructions. You may also attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to us and not subsequently revoked, it will be voted as directed by you. Unless contrary instructions are given, the persons designated as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote: "FOR" the election of all nominees for the Board named in this Proxy Statement, "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, "FOR" the non-binding advisory approval of compensation of the Company's named executive officers and "FOR" the approval of the Rithm Property Trust Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan and as recommended by the Board with regard to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or, if no such recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

You may revoke a previously authorized proxy and change your vote at any time before the closing of the voting by (i) filing with RPT's Secretary a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date with us; or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting does not automatically revoke your previously submitted proxy.

If you are a street name or beneficial stockholder because your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, your broker or nominee firm will provide you with the Notice. Follow the instructions on the Notice to access the proxy materials and vote by Internet or to request a paper or email copy of the proxy materials. If you receive these materials in paper form, the materials include a voting instruction form so that you may instruct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares.

If you are a stockholder of record, authorizing a proxy to vote your shares in advance does not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote or change your vote there. If you send in your proxy card and also attend the Annual Meeting, you do not need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you want to change your vote.

#### Recommendations of the Board
The Board recommends that you vote as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ***Proposal 1 (Election of Directors):*** "FOR" each of the Board nominees for election as directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ***Proposal 2 (Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP):*** "FOR" the ratification of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ***Proposal 3 (Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation):*** "FOR" the non-binding advisory approval of compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • ***Proposal 4 (Approval of the Omnibus Incentive Plan):*** "FOR" the Rithm Property Trust Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

#### Voting Results
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, RPT will file the final voting results with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

#### Confidentiality of Voting
We keep all proxies, ballots and voting tabulations confidential as a matter of practice. We permit only our Inspector of Election, Equiniti, to examine these documents.

#### Additional Information
If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting or these proxy materials, please contact us at Rithm Property Trust Inc., 799 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10003, Attn: Secretary, or call (646) 868-5483. If you have questions about your ownership of our Common Stock, please contact our transfer agent, Equiniti by dialing (718) 921-8200.

 **You should rely only on the information provided in this Proxy Statement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. You should not assume that the information in this Proxy Statement is accurate as of any date other than the date of this Proxy Statement or, where information relates to another date set forth in this Proxy Statement, then as of that date.** 

 **This Proxy Statement contains certain forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "intends," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," and "future" or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation, the risk factors and other matters set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.**

#### Proposal 1 — Election of Directors
The Board is currently comprised of four directors. The nominees, all of whom are currently serving as our directors, have been recommended by the Board for election to serve as directors until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Based on its review of the relationships between the director nominees and us, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors are "independent" directors under the rules of the NYSE and under applicable rules of the SEC: Ms. Haggerty and Messrs. Friedman and Hoffman.

The Board knows of no reason why any nominee would be unable to serve as a director. If any nominee is unavailable for re-election or service, the Board may designate a substitute nominee and the persons designated as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote for the substitute nominee recommended by the Board. Under these circumstances, the Board may also, as permitted by our Bylaws, decrease the size of the Board.

#### Nominees for Election as Directors
The following table sets forth the name and age of each director nominee, indicating all positions and offices with RPT currently held by the nominee.

#### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

#### Corporate Governance Profile
We have structured our corporate governance in a manner that we believe closely aligns RPT's interests with those of its stockholders. Notable features of our corporate governance structure include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Board is not classified, with each of RPT's directors subject to re-election annually;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • three of RPT's four directors satisfy the listing standards for independence of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • three of RPT's directors, including the chairperson of the Audit Committee, qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • RPT complies with the requirements of the NYSE listing standards, including having board committees comprised solely of independent directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • RPT has opted out of the business combination statute and the control share acquisition statute under the Maryland General Corporation Law.

RPT's directors stay informed about our business by attending meetings of the Board and its committees and through supplemental reports and communications. RPT's independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of RPT's corporate officers or non-independent directors.

Additionally, RPT's overboarding policy, which is included in RPT's Corporate Governance Guidelines, provides that if a director serves on more than three public company boards, his or her service on the Board will be subject to the Board's determination that such simultaneous service on such other boards will not impair his or her ability to effectively serve on the Board.

#### Board Committees
The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The principal functions of each committee are described below. RPT complies with the listing requirements and other rules and regulations of the NYSE, as amended or modified from time to time, and each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised exclusively of independent directors. Additionally, RPT from time to time may establish other committees to facilitate the management of RPT.

#### Director Selection Process
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, the selection and recommendation to the Board of nominees for election as directors. In accordance with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter and RPT's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee develops on an annual basis guidelines and criteria for the selection of candidates for directors of the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee aims to advance the Board's and RPT's goal of having a Board with directors having a breadth of experience, complementary skills and a broad range of backgrounds relevant to our industry and business strategy. Applying these criteria, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and stockholders. After completing the identification and evaluation process described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee selects the nominees for directorship for stockholders to consider and vote upon at the annual meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to appropriate persons identified in the code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • accountability for adherence to the code of business conduct and ethics.

Any waiver of the Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other senior financial officers must be approved in writing by the Board. Any such waiver shall be promptly disclosed to stockholders as required by law or NYSE regulations by posting such information on our website.

#### Insider Trading Policy
We maintain an insider trading policy (the "Insider Trading Policy") applicable to our directors, executive officers and other employees, as well as the Company itself and employees of Rithm. We believe the policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, including NYSE rules, in connection with the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of Company securities or the securities of other companies with which we do business.

#### Availability of Corporate Governance Materials
Stockholders may view RPT's corporate governance materials, including the charters of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, RPT's Corporate Governance Guidelines and RPT's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on RPT's website at www.rithmpropertytrust.com under the "Company Info — Corporate Governance" tab, and these documents are available in print to any stockholder who sends a written request to such effect to Rithm Property Trust Inc., 799 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10003, Attention: Secretary.

#### Independence of Directors
NYSE listing standards require NYSE-listed companies to have a majority of independent board members and a nominating/corporate governance committee, compensation committee and audit committee, each comprised solely of independent directors. Under the NYSE listing standards, no director of a company qualifies as "independent" unless the board of directors of the company affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with such company).

The Board currently has four directors, a majority of whom the Board has affirmatively determined, after broadly considering all relevant facts and circumstances, to be "independent" under the listing standards of the NYSE and under applicable rules of the SEC. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of

------

the following directors is independent under these standards: Ms. Haggerty and Messrs. Friedman and Hoffman. Mr. Nierenberg is not independent as he is an executive officer of RPT and of Rithm.

The Board currently has four director nominees, of which the Board has affirmatively determined, after broadly considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that three are "independent" under the listing standards of the NYSE and under applicable rules of the SEC. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the following director nominees are independent under these standards: Ms. Haggerty and Messrs. Friedman and Hoffman.

#### Board Leadership Structure
The Board does not have a set policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that this issue is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to make a determination when it elects a new Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Friedman currently serves as the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Friedman has an extensive amount of operational and risk management experience to the Board as well as a deep knowledge of the financial services industry. The Board has reviewed its current leadership structure and has determined that Mr. Friedman is most suitable to act as Chairman of the Board.

#### Communications with the Board
Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board by sending written correspondence to the Company at 799 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10003, Attention: Secretary. The independent, non-employee directors have directed RPT's Secretary to act as their agent in processing any communications received. All communications that relate to matters within the scope of the responsibilities of the Board and its standing committees are to be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board. Communications that relate to matters that are within the scope of the responsibilities of one of the Board's standing committees are also to be forwarded to the chair of the appropriate committee.

#### REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Board is comprised of Ms. Haggerty and Messrs. Friedman and Hoffman, with Ms. Haggerty serving as its chair. The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board. One of the principal purposes of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in the oversight of the integrity of RPT's consolidated financial statements.

RPT's management team has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 with RPT's management.

The Audit Committee also is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight of the qualification, independence and performance of RPT's independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of RPT's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

The Audit Committee has received both the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and it has discussed with EY its independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that RPT's audited consolidated financial statements for 2025 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted,

#### Proposal 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

#### Introduction
On March 10, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, appointed EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Baker Tilly US, LLP had served as our independent registered public accounting firm for all fiscal years ended between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2024. The Audit Committee has appointed EY to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and has further directed that the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm be submitted for approval by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting by conference phone, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

#### Vote Required and Recommendation
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm. For purposes of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Even if the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, change that appointment at any time during the year should it determine such a change would be in our and our stockholders' best interests. In the event that the appointment of EY is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider the appointment of another independent registered public accounting firm, but it will not be required to appoint a different firm.

 **THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2026.**

#### Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee's policy is to review and pre-approve, pursuant to the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, any engagement of RPT's independent auditor to provide any permitted non-audit service to RPT. Pursuant to the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, which the Audit Committee will review and reassess periodically, a list of specific services within certain categories of services, including audit, audit-related and tax services, are specifically pre-approved for the upcoming or current fiscal year, subject to an aggregate maximum annual fee payable by RPT for each category of pre-approved services. Any service that is not included in the approved list of services must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee may delegate authority to its chairperson to pre-approve engagements for the performance of audit and non-audit services. The chairperson must report all pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Any audit-related, tax and other services provided to RPT by EY would be reviewed and pre-approved by the chairperson of the Audit Committee.

#### Proposal 3 — Non-Binding Advisory Resolution to Approve Executive Compensation
Section 14A of the Exchange Act provides that, not less frequently than once every three years, an issuer shall include in its proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders a non-binding advisory resolution subject to a stockholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, also known as a "say-on-pay" vote. Our current policy is to provide stockholders with an opportunity to approve the compensation of our named executive officers each year at the annual meeting of stockholders until the next required stockholder vote on the frequency of such votes. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and our compensation philosophy, policies and practices with respect to our named executive officers.

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as described under the heading "Compensation of Executive Officers," the compensation tables and the related narrative discussion, by voting in favor of the following advisory resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Rithm Property Trust Inc. approve the compensation of the named executive officers as discussed and disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion."

Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, your vote is advisory and will not be binding upon the Company or the Board and will not be construed to overrule any decision by the Company or the Board or require the Board or Compensation Committee thereof to take any action. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board will take the results of this advisory vote into consideration when considering future compensation arrangements for the named executive officers and whether any adjustments or modifications are warranted.

#### Vote Required and Recommendation
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this advisory resolution. For purposes of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and other shares not voted (whether by broker non-vote or otherwise) will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

As discussed in this Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the Company's compensation programs and the actual compensation paid to the named executive officers are supportive of the long-term interests of the Company and the creation of value for the Company's stockholders.

 **THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.**

#### Proposal 4 — Approval of the Rithm Property Trust Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan

#### Introduction
We are asking our stockholders to approve the Rithm Property Trust Inc. 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2026 Plan"), which was approved by our Board on April 21, 2026, subject to stockholder approval. The 2026 Plan is intended to replace the Company's 2016 Plan, which expires by its terms on June 6, 2026. The 2026 Plan will become effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting (the "Effective Date") if approved by our stockholders and will not become effective if such approval is not received.

The 2026 Plan provides for the issuance of equity-based awards in various forms to eligible participants, as described in greater detail below under "Summary of 2026 Plan Terms." If our stockholders vote to approve the 2026 Plan, 400,000 shares of our Common Stock will be reserved and available for grants of equity awards thereunder. As of April 13, 2026, the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the NYSE was $14.09.

#### Rationale for Adoption of the 2026 Plan
The 2026 Plan is intended to facilitate our use of equity-based awards and incentives to provide competitive short-term and long-term compensation opportunities for the benefit of our and our Manager's officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors, advisors and consultants to stimulate their efforts towards the success of the Company and to operate and manage its business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; and be a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel. To accomplish these purposes, the 2026 Plan will provide for the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock bonuses, long-term incentive units representing an award of an interest in the operating partnership affiliated with the Company ("LTIP Units"), other stock-based awards and cash awards.

#### Historical Annual Share Usage
While equity-based awards and incentives are an important part of our short and long-term incentive compensation program, we are mindful of our responsibility to our stockholders to exercise judgment in granting equity-based awards.

 *Overhang* 

The following table sets forth information about the Company's equity-based compensation plans, including outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan and the 2014 Director Equity Plan (the "Director Plan") as of April 13, 2026:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Number of full-value unvested awards outstanding  |  |
| Number of stock options outstanding  |  |
| Weighted average exercise price of outstanding stock options  | $— |
| Weighted average remaining term of outstanding stock options (in years)  |  |
| Number of shares available for future issuance under the 2016 Plan<sup>(1)</sup>  | 258650 |
| Number of shares available for future issuance under the Director Plan<sup>(2)</sup>  |  |
| Shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 13, 2026  | 7661770 |

---

(1) Reflects shares of our Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the 2016 Plan as of April 13, 2026. We will not grant awards with respect to any shares of our Common Stock under the 2016 Plan after April 13, 2026 and before the Annual Meeting, and the 2016 Plan will expire by its terms on June 6, 2026.

(2) The Director Plan expired by its terms in July 2024, and no shares are available for future issuances thereunder.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

The aggregate shares shown in the table above represent a fully diluted overhang of approximately 3.27%, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the "overhang percentage."

The 400,000 shares of our Common Stock proposed to be included in the share reserve for the 2026 Plan would result in an overhang percentage of approximately 4.96%.

 *Share Usage* 

The annual share usage, or burn rate, under the 2016 Plan and the Director Plan for the last three fiscal years was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025**  | **2024**  | **2023**  | **Average**  |
|  A – Stock Options/SARs Granted During the Fiscal <br> Year  |  |  |  |  |
| B – Full-Value Awards Granted During the Fiscal Year  |  | 11404 | 8927 | 6777 |
|  C – Basic Weighted Average Shares of Common Stock Outstanding  | 7570205 | 6699247 | 4047833 | 6105762 |
| Burn Rate (A + B) / C  | —% | 0.17% | 0.22% | 0.13% |

---

In determining the number of additional shares of our Common Stock to reserve for issuance under the 2026 Plan, we took into account a variety of factors, including the need to adequately and appropriately incentivize our and our Manager's officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants and to ensure that the interests of those individuals continue to be closely aligned with the interests of our stockholders more generally.

While the Company intends to issue awards under the 2026 Plan in the future to eligible recipients as a recruiting and retention tool, specific parameters have not been established regarding future grants to eligible recipients under the 2026 Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the specific criteria surrounding awards under the 2026 Plan. See below under "Summary of 2026 Plan Terms" for a summary of the material features of the 2026 Plan.

#### Key Governance Features of the 2026 Plan
The 2026 Plan contains the following governance features that are protective of our stockholders, as described in greater detail below under "Summary of 2026 Plan Terms":

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No "Evergreen" Provision</u>: the 2026 Plan does not provide for automatic annual increases in the share reserve. <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>Clawback Policy</u>: we adopted a clawback policy that applies to all awards granted under the 2026 Plan. <br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No Repricings/Cash Buyouts</u>: the 2026 Plan prohibits repricings of options/SARs or cash buyouts of underwater options/SARs without stockholder approval. <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No Excise Tax Gross-Ups</u>: the Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups. <br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No Liberal Share Recycling for Options/SARs</u>: shares withheld to pay the exercise price or taxes for options/SARs are not added back to the share reserve under the 2026 Plan. <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No "Single Trigger" Vesting of Equity Awards</u>: the Plan does not provide for automatic vesting of equity awards solely upon a change in control. <br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>No Reloads</u>: the 2026 Plan does not provide for any option reloads. <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>Annual Director Compensation Limit</u>: the 2026 Plan precludes awards to our non-employee directors that exceed a limit on annual compensation (cash and equity) paid to non-employee directors. <br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • <u>Limitation on Dividend Payments</u>: except as otherwise may be provided in an award agreement, the 2026 Plan prohibits payment of dividends and dividend equivalents on unearned awards. <br>|  |

#### Summary of 2026 Plan Terms
*Securities to be Offered*. Subject to the below and to the adjustment in the event of certain changes in capitalization in accordance with the 2026 Plan, 400,000 shares of Common Stock will be reserved and available for issuance under the 2026 Plan for the duration of the ten (10) year term of the 2026 Plan.

In addition, shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding award under the 2016 Plan that remain unissued upon the forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration of the award will become available for issuance under the 2026 Plan. However, since there are currently no outstanding unvested awards under the 2016 Plan, this provision is not likely to add any shares of Common Stock to the 2026 Plan.

Shares of Common Stock subject to an award under the 2026 Plan that remain unissued upon the forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration of the award will again become available for grant under the 2026 Plan. Shares of Common Stock that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of any option or SAR under the 2026 Plan, as well as any shares of Common Stock exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to the exercise of any option or SAR, will not again be available for subsequent awards under the 2026 Plan. Shares of Common Stock exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award other than an option or SAR will again be available for subsequent awards under the 2026 Plan. To the extent an award is denominated in shares of Common Stock, but paid or settled in cash, the number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to the award will again be available for grants pursuant to the 2026 Plan. To the extent that an award can only be settled in cash, or in the case of any substitute award (as described below), such award will not be counted against the total number of shares of Common Stock available for grants under the 2026 Plan.

*Plan Administration*. The 2026 Plan shall be administered by the Board or any committee of the Board designated by the Board to administer the 2026 Plan, including a committee that complies with the applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and any other applicable legal or stock exchange listing requirements (the Board or committee referred to above being sometimes referred to as the plan administrator).

The plan administrator has broad discretion to administer the 2026 Plan, including the power and authority to select the officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors, advisors and consultants of the Company and the Manager who will receive awards, determine the type of award to be granted, the terms and conditions of those awards, including, but not limited to, the exercise price or other purchase price of an award, the number of shares of Common Stock or cash or other property subject to an award, the term of an award and the vesting schedule applicable to an award, including, but not limited to, extending the exercise period or the vesting schedule of the awards, and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards. The plan administrator may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to sub-plans or addendums established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws. The 2026 Plan expressly prohibits the repricing of options or SARs or the cash buyout of underwater options or SARs without stockholder approval.

*Eligibility*. As of April 13, 2026, (i) approximately 32 officers and employees of us or our Manager were eligible to receive awards under the 2026 Plan; (ii) our three non-employee directors and our Manager's six non-employee directors were eligible to receive awards under the 2026 Plan; and (iii) no independent contractors and consultants were eligible to receive awards under the 2026 Plan.

*Grants to Non-Employee Directors*. The 2026 Plan provides that a non-employee director will not be granted awards during any calendar year that, when aggregated with such non-employee director's cash fees with respect to such calendar year, exceed $800,000 in total value, <u>provided</u> that the plan administrator may make exceptions to increase such limit to $1,000,000 for an individual non-employee director in extraordinary circumstances, such as where a non-employee director serves as the non-executive chairman of the Board or lead independent director, or as a member of a special litigation or transactions committee of the Board.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

*RSUs; Restricted Stock*. RSUs and restricted stock may be granted under the 2026 Plan. The plan administrator will determine the purchase price, vesting schedule and performance objectives, if any, applicable to the grant of RSUs and restricted stock (RSUs that are subject to the achievement of performance objectives are sometimes referred to as performance stock units or PSUs). If the restrictions, performance objectives or other conditions determined by the plan administrator are not satisfied, the RSUs and restricted stock will be forfeited. Subject to the provisions of the 2026 Plan and the applicable individual award agreement, the plan administrator may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments or the acceleration or waiver of restrictions (in whole or part) under certain circumstances as set forth in the applicable individual award agreement, including the attainment of certain performance criteria, or a participant's termination of employment or service or a participant's death or disability. The rights of RSU holders and restricted stockholders upon a termination of employment or service will be set forth in individual award agreements.

Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, participants with restricted stock will generally have all of the rights of a stockholder during the restricted period, including the right to vote and receive dividends declared with respect to such restricted stock. Any dividends or dividend equivalents awards with respect to restricted stock or RSUs will be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying restricted stock or RSU, unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise. During the restricted period, participants with RSUs will generally not have any of the rights of a stockholder, but, if the applicable individual award agreement so provides, participants with RSUs may be credited with dividend equivalent rights.

*Options*. Stock options may be granted under the 2026 Plan. Options granted under the 2026 Plan may be in the form of "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or options that are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options, referred to as nonqualified options, as set forth in the applicable individual option award agreement. All of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2026 Plan may be granted as incentive stock options. The exercise price of all options granted under the 2026 Plan will be determined by the plan administrator, but, except as provided in the applicable award agreement or with respect to any substitute award, in no event may the exercise price be less than 100% of the fair market value of the related shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an individual who owns shares representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our equity securities, the exercise price of the option must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and the option must not be exercisable more than five years from the date of grant. The maximum term of all stock options granted under the 2026 Plan will be determined by the plan administrator but may not exceed ten years. Each stock option will vest and become exercisable (including in the event of the optionee's termination of employment or service) at such time and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the plan administrator in the applicable individual option agreement. Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, participants with options will generally not have any rights of a stockholder with respect to shares subject to the option until the shares have been issued to the participant upon exercise of the option.

*SARs*. SARs may be granted under the 2026 Plan either alone or in conjunction with all or part of any option granted under the 2026 Plan. A free-standing SAR granted under the 2026 Plan entitles its holder to receive, at the time of exercise, an amount per share equal to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a share of Common Stock over the base price of the free-standing SAR. An SAR granted in conjunction with all or part of an option under the 2026 Plan entitles its holder to receive, at the time of exercise of the SAR and surrender of the related option, an amount per share equal to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a share of Common Stock over the exercise price of the related option. The plan administrator may determine to settle the exercise of an SAR in cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination of shares of Common Stock and cash.

Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise or with respect to any substitute awards, each SAR will be granted with a base price that is not less than 100% of the fair market value of the related shares of Common Stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of all SARs granted under the 2026 Plan will be determined by the plan administrator but may not exceed ten years. Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, participants with SARs will generally not have any rights of a stockholder

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to the SAR until such shares have been issued to the participant upon exercise of the SAR.

Each free-standing SAR will vest and become exercisable (including in the event of the SAR holder's termination of employment or service) at such time and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the plan administrator in the applicable individual free-standing SAR agreement. SARs granted in conjunction with all or part of an option will be exercisable at such times and subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to the related option.

*Other Stock-Based Awards.* Other stock-based awards may be granted under the 2026 Plan, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock. The plan administrator will determine the terms and conditions of such other stock-based awards, including the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such other stock-based awards, the manner in which such other stock-based awards will be settled (e.g., in shares of Common Stock, cash or other property), and the conditions to the vesting and payment of such other stock-based awards (including the achievement of performance objectives). Any dividend or dividend equivalent rights awarded with respect to other stock-based awards be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying other stock-based award.

*Stock Bonuses; Cash Awards*. Bonuses payable in fully vested shares of Common Stock and awards that are payable solely in cash may also be granted under the 2026 Plan.

*LTIP Units*. LTIP Units are intended to be profits interests in the operating partnership affiliated with the Company (any such operating partnership, an "Operating Partnership"). Each LTIP Unit awarded under the Plan will be equivalent to an award of one share under the Plan, reducing the number of shares available for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Any LTIP Units granted under the 2026 Plan shall vest at such times and under such conditions as determined by the plan administrator and stated in the applicable award agreements.

*Substitute Awards*. Substitute awards may be granted under the 2026 Plan. Substitute awards are awards granted or shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, awards previously granted, or the right or obligation to make future awards, by a company acquired by the Company or with which the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof combines. Substitute awards will not be counted against the total number of shares of Common Stock available for grants under the 2026 Plan

*Equitable Adjustment; Treatment upon Change in Control*. In the event of a merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, spin-off, spin-out, repurchase, reorganization, corporate transaction or event, special or extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of shares of Common Stock, cash or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision or consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting the shares of Common Stock, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment will be made, in the manner determined by the plan administrator, in (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2026 Plan, (ii) the kind and number of securities subject to, and the exercise price or base price of, any outstanding options and SARs granted under the 2026 Plan, (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of shares of Common Stock, or the amount of cash or amount or type of property, subject to outstanding restricted stock, RSUs, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards granted under the 2026 Plan or (iv) the performance criteria and periods applicable to awards granted under the 2026 Plan. Equitable substitutions or adjustments other than those listed above may also be made as determined by the plan administrator. In addition, the plan administrator may terminate all outstanding awards for the payment of cash or in-kind consideration having an aggregate fair market value equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property covered by such awards over the aggregate exercise price or base price, if any, of such awards, but if the exercise price or base price of any outstanding award is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property covered by such award, the plan administrator may cancel the award without the payment of any consideration to the participant.

Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, in the event that (i) a "change in control" (as defined in the 2026 Plan) occurs and (ii) either (x) an outstanding award is assumed or substituted in

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

connection with such change in control and a participant's employment or service is terminated by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason within 12 months following the change in control or (y) an outstanding award is not assumed or substituted in connection with such change in control, then (a) any unvested or unexercisable portion of any award carrying a right to exercise will become fully vested and exercisable and (b) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to an award granted under the 2026 Plan will lapse and such unvested awards will be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such awards will be deemed to be achieved at actual performance levels.

*Clawback*. All awards granted under the 2026 Plan are subject to any clawback policy as may be in effect from time to time and whenever adopted. Currently our clawback policy covering our executive officers provides that in the event of a required accounting restatement, the Compensation Committee will require forfeiture of any portions of unsettled and will seek reimbursement of any portions of settled, incentive-based compensation that would not have been paid had our financial statements been correctly stated.

*Tax Withholding*. Each participant will be required to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the plan administrator regarding payment of, an amount in respect of taxes applicable to any award granted under the 2026 Plan, up to the maximum statutory rates in the participant's applicable jurisdictions with respect to such award, as determined by the Company. The Company has the right, to the extent permitted by law, to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant. With the approval of the plan administrator, the participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either electing to have the Company withhold from such delivery shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, or by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy the Company's withholding obligation with respect to any award.

*Plan Amendment and Termination*. The 2026 Plan provides the plan administrator with authority to amend, alter or terminate the 2026 Plan and to amend an award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such action may materially impair the rights of any participant without the participant's consent; <u>provided</u> that the plan administrator may amend the 2026 Plan and/or the terms of any such award to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the award to any appliable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement relating to such award or to preserve the intended tax treatment of an award. Stockholder approval of any such action will be obtained if required to comply with applicable law or stock exchange listing rule.

*Plan Term*. The 2026 Plan will become effective on June 6, 2026, if approved by the Company's stockholders, and will terminate on June 6, 2036, although awards granted before that time will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

*New Plan Benefits*. Future grants under the 2026 Plan will be made at the discretion of, and subject to the consideration, review and approval of, the plan administrator and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, awards under the 2026 Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of Common Stock on future dates. Consequently, it is not possible at this time to determine the benefits that might be received by participants under the 2026 Plan.

*Securities and Other Applicable Laws*. No participant will be permitted to acquire or will have any right to acquire shares of Common Stock if such acquisition would be prohibited by any share ownership limits contained in the Articles of Amendment and Restatement (our "Charter") or the Bylaws of the Company or would impair the Company's status as a REIT.

*SEC Registration*. The Company intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering some or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2026 Plan.

#### US Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of awards granted to individual service providers who are subject to U.S. income tax under the 2026 Plan. This

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

summary is based on the Code, regulations and guidance thereunder as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement and therefore is subject to future changes in law, which may have retroactive effect. This summary is general in nature and does not purport to be legal or tax advice. This summary assumes all awards are exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and does not describe the consequences of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws.

*RSUs.* In general, the grant of RSUs (including PSUs) will not result in income for the participant or in a tax deduction for us. Upon the settlement of such an award in shares of Common Stock or cash, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock received, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount.

*Restricted Stock.* A participant generally will not be taxed upon the grant of restricted stock, but rather will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the time the shares are no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" (within the meaning of the Code, but generally when the restricted stock vests) over the amount, if any, paid by the participant with respect to the shares of restricted stock. We generally will be entitled to a deduction at the time when, and in the amount that, the participant recognizes ordinary income on account of the lapse of the restrictions. A participant's tax basis in the shares will generally equal their fair market value at the time the restrictions lapse, and the participant's holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time. Any cash dividends paid on the restricted stock before the restrictions lapse will be taxable to the participant as additional compensation (and not as dividend income). Under Section 83(b) of the Code, a participant may elect to recognize ordinary income at the time the shares of restricted stock are granted in an amount equal to their fair market value at that time (over the amount, if any, paid for the shares of restricted stock), notwithstanding the fact that such shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions and a substantial risk of forfeiture. If such an election is made, no additional taxable income will be recognized by such participant at the time the restrictions lapse, the participant will have a tax basis in the shares equal to their fair market value on the date of grant, and the participant's holding period for capital gains purposes will begin at that time. We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction at the time when, and to the extent that, ordinary income is recognized by such participant.

*Options.* A participant who is granted a nonqualified option generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a nonqualified option. Rather, at the time of exercise of the option, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock purchased over the exercise price paid for such shares. We generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at such time and in the same amount, if any, that the participant recognizes as ordinary income. The participant's tax basis in any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of an option will be the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise. If the shares of Common Stock are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the participant's tax basis in those shares will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such shares of Common Stock were held by the participant.

Incentive stock options are eligible for favorable federal income tax treatment if certain requirements are satisfied. An employee granted an incentive stock option generally does not realize compensation income for federal income tax purposes upon the grant of the option. At the time of exercise of an incentive stock option, no compensation income is realized by the optionee other than tax preference income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax on individual income. If the shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option are held for at least two years after grant of the option and one year after exercise, the excess of the amount realized on the sale over the exercise price will be taxed as capital gain. If the shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of within less than two years after grant or one year of exercise, the optionee will realize taxable compensation income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the date of sale, whichever is less, over the exercise price, and any additional amount realized will be taxed as capital gain.

*Stock Appreciation Rights.* A participant who is granted a SAR generally will not recognize ordinary income upon receipt of the SAR. Rather, at the time of exercise of such SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes in an amount equal to the value of any cash received and the

------

fair market value on the date of exercise of any shares of Common Stock received. We generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at such time and in the same amount, if any, that the participant recognizes as ordinary income. The participant's tax basis in any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of a SAR will be the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise, and if the shares are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the amount received upon such sale or exchange and the participant's tax basis in those shares will generally be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the shares are a capital asset of the participant) depending upon the length of time such shares of Common Stock were held by the participant.

*LTIP Units.* The tax consequences of an LTIP Unit award will be dependent on the specific structure of such awards.

*Other Awards.* With respect to other awards granted under the 2026 Plan, including stock bonuses, other stock-based awards and cash awards, generally when the participant receives payment with respect to an award, the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock or other property received will be ordinary income to the participant, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount.

*Tax Withholding.* We are authorized to deduct or withhold from any award granted or payment due under the 2026 Plan or require a participant to remit to the Company, the amount of any withholding taxes due in respect of the award or payment. In lieu of cash, the Administrator may permit a participant to cover withholding through a reduction in the number of shares to be delivered to such participant.

*Section 162(m).* Our ability to obtain a deduction for amounts paid under the 2026 Plan could be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code limits the Company's ability to deduct compensation, for federal income tax purposes, paid during any year to a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) in excess of $1,000,000.

#### COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

#### Overview
We are externally managed by our Manager, an affiliate of Rithm, under the terms of the Management Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2024, by and among the Company, Great Ajax Operating Partnership L.P. and the Manager, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of October 18, 2024, and the Second Amendment, dated as of February 12, 2026 (as amended, the "Management Agreement"), pursuant to which the Manager provides us with all of the personnel required to manage our operations, including our executive officers. Our executive officers are officers or personnel of the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager and do not receive any cash compensation from us for serving as our executive officers. Our executive officers, in their capacities as officers or personnel of the Manager or its affiliates, devote such portion of their time to our affairs as is necessary to enable us to operate our business.

Our Manager makes all decisions relating to the compensation of our executive officers based on factors it deems appropriate, and, except for the compensation of our former principal financial officer (Ms. Mary Doyle), is not able to segregate and identify any portion of the compensation that it awards to our executive officers as relating solely to service performed for us, because the services performed by our executive officers are not performed exclusively for us. We do not provide any of our executive officers with pension benefits or nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and we do not have any employment agreements with any person and are not obligated to make any payments to any of our executive officers upon termination of employment or a change in control. We may, from time to time, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, grant equity awards to our executive officers and to officers and other personnel of the Manager.

We do not pay any of our executive officers cash compensation, and pursuant to the Management Agreement, we pay the Manager the base management and incentive fees and reimburse the Manager for certain expenses as described in the section entitled "*Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Management Agreement*."

We are a "smaller reporting company" as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and are taking advantage of our ability to provide certain less comprehensive disclosures in our SEC filings, including reduced executive compensation disclosures. Throughout this section "Compensation of Executive Officers", all share amounts and share prices below have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, which was effected on December 30, 2025, of our Common Stock at a ratio of one share for every six shares issued and outstanding.

#### Named Executive Officers

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Michael Nierenberg, our Chief Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Nicola Santoro Jr., our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer<sup>(1)</sup>; and

Pay Versus Performance

The stock compensation paid to RPT's principal executive officer ("PEO") and other named executive officers was calculated based on shares granted each year using the grant date stock price and adjusted for any previously issued shares that were unvested and fully vested each year and considered any dividends that have been paid. The following table summarizes the compensation paid to RPT's PEO and other named executive officers and the company performance measures.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i)

Represents the year-over-year change in fair value of awards of restricted shares of Common Stock based on the closing price on the last trading day of each applicable fiscal year, which was $17.82, $31.80 and $43.50 for the last trading day of 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(7) Total Stockholder Return assumes $100 invested in our Common Stock for the period starting December 31, 2022 through December 31 of the applicable year.

#### Relationship Between "Compensation Actually Paid" and Performance Measures
The descriptions below describe the relationship of "compensation actually paid" to RPT's PEO and named executive officers to the total stockholder return and net income across the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Nierenberg, who served as the PEO of RPT during the year, and Mr. Santoro each did not receive any compensation from RPT.

 *Total Stockholder Return* 

Compensation actually paid to RPT's PEO for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $0, $(30) thousand and $(25) thousand, respectively. Compensation actually paid to named executive officers excluding the PEO for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $127 thousand, $347 thousand and $317 thousand, respectively. The calculation to determine compensation actually paid to RPT's PEO and named executive officers is detailed above and is calculated in accordance with item 402(v)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K. RPT's cumulative total stockholder return ("TSR"), which is calculated off an initial fixed $100 investment for the last three completed fiscal years was $31.80, $50.50 and $83.20, respectively.

There was no compensation paid to RPT's current PEO for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Compensation actually paid to RPT's former PEO decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus 2023, and RPT's TSR decreased for the year ended December 31, 2025 versus December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024 versus December 31, 2023. Compensation actually paid to RPT's named executive officers excluding the PEO and RPT's TSR decreased for the year ended December 31, 2025 versus December 31, 2024, and compensation actually paid to RPTs executive officers excluding the PEO increased, while RPT's TSR decreased, for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus 2023.

 *Net (Loss) Income* 

RPT had consolidated net losses attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of $(2.7) million, $(92.2) million and $(49.3) million, respectively. There was no compensation paid to RPT's current PEO for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. RPT's consolidated net (loss) income increased for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024, and compensation actually paid to RPT's former PEO and RPT's consolidated net (loss) income each decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus 2023. On the other hand, compensation actually paid to RPT's named executive officers excluding the PEO decreased while RPT's consolidated net (loss) income increased for the year ended December 31, 2025 versus 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024 versus 2023, compensation actually paid to RPT's named executive officers excluding the PEO increased, while the Company's consolidated net (loss) income decreased.

#### Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
RPT's named executive officers are employees of or consultants to the Manager or its affiliates and therefore RPT generally has no obligation to pay them any form of compensation upon their termination of employment.

Ms. Doyle did not receive any form of compensation in connection with her resignation from the Company or the termination of the Consulting Agreement.

#### Equity Compensation Plan Information
The following table provides information as of December 31, 2025 with respect to the shares of RPT Common Stock that may be issued under RPT's existing equity compensation plans. The share amounts

#### Timing of Grants of Certain Equity Awards
The Company currently does not grant options and historically has not granted options to its named executive officers. However, with respect to grants of equity of the Company generally, the Company does not time disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of compensation, and the Compensation Committee generally seeks to avoid making grants four business days prior to, or one business day following, the filing of a periodic or current report with the SEC that discloses material non-public information.

#### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

#### Management Agreement
On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement shall be in effect until June 11, 2027 and shall be automatically renewed for a successive two-year term each anniversary date thereafter unless terminated by a party. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager implements the Company's business strategy and manages the Company's business and investment activities and day-to-day operations subject to oversight by the Board. Among other services, the Manager provides the Company with a management team and necessary administrative and support personnel. Additionally, the Company pays directly for the internal audit function that reports directly to the Audit Committee and the Board. The Company does not currently have any employees that it pays directly and does not expect to have any employees that it pays directly in the foreseeable future. Each of the Company's executive officers is an employee or officer of the Manager.

Under the Management Agreement, the Company pays both a base management fee and an incentive fee to the Manager calculated and payable quarterly with respect to each calendar quarter (or partial quarter that the agreement is in effect) in arrears in cash or, at the election of the Manager, in shares of Common Stock of the Company. The base management fee equals 1.5% of the Company's stockholders' equity, including equity equivalents such as the Company's issuance of convertible senior notes, per annum. Also, under the Management Agreement, the Company's quarterly base management fee includes, in its computation of equity managed, its unsecured debt securities to the extent the proceeds were used to repurchase the Company's preferred stock.

The Manager is entitled to the incentive fee, which is payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the election of the Manager, in shares of Common Stock of the Company, in an amount equal to 20% of the dollar amount by which (i) earnings available for distribution exceeds the product of (A) the average common book value per share (excluding fair value marks, impairments, transaction/ deal expenses and associated tax impact and such other items that in the judgment of the Company officers should be excluded) of RPT's Common Stock during such calendar quarter and (B) 8%. Notwithstanding either of the foregoing, no incentive fee will be payable to the Manager with respect to any period unless the Company's cumulative earnings available for distribution is greater than zero for the most recently completed four calendar quarters (which cumulative earnings available for distribution shall be reset at the completion of every fourth quarter following the date hereof and each subsequent fourth quarter thereafter (each, a "Reset Date") so as not to take into account prior calendar quarters), or, if less, (i) the number of completed calendar quarters since the date hereof or (ii) the number of completed calendar quarters since the last Reset Date.

In addition to the base management fee and the incentive fee described above, the Company pays all of its costs and expenses and reimburses the Manager (to the extent incurred by the Manager) on a monthly basis for the costs and expenses of providing services under the Management Agreement, including reimbursing the Manager or its affiliates, as applicable, for the Company's allocable share of the compensation (whether paid in cash, stock or other forms), including annual base salary, bonus, any related withholding taxes and employee benefits, paid to (i) the Manager's personnel serving as the Company's chief financial officer based on the percentage of his or her time spent managing the Company's affairs and (ii) other corporate finance, tax, accounting, middle office, internal audit, legal, risk management, operations, compliance and other non-investment personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who spend all or a portion of their time managing the Company's affairs.

The Company will be required to pay the Manager a termination fee in the event that the Management Agreement is terminated as a result of (i) a termination by the Company without cause, (ii) its decision not to renew the Management Agreement for reasons including the failure to agree on revised compensation, (iii) a termination by the Manager as a result of the Company becoming regulated as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") (other than as a result of the acts or omissions of the Manager in violation of investment guidelines approved by the Board), or (iv) a termination by the Manager if the Company defaults in the performance of any material term of the Management Agreement (subject to a notice and cure period). The termination fee will

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

be equal to three times the combined base fee and incentive fees payable to the Manager during the 12-month period ended as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination.

#### Servicing Agreement
On June 1, 2024, the Company's former servicer transferred its existing servicing agreements (the "Servicing Agreements") to Newrez LLC ("Newrez" or the "Servicer"), an affiliate of the Manager, pursuant to a servicing transfer agreement. The terms of the Servicing Agreements remain substantially the same.

Servicing fees for mortgage loans range from 0.42% to 1.25% annually of unpaid principal balance at acquisition (or the fair market value or purchase price of REO (as defined in the Servicing Agreements)) and are paid monthly. The servicing fee is based upon the status of the loan at acquisition. A change in status from re-performing loans to non-performing loans does not cause a change in the servicing fee rate.

Servicing fees for the Company's real property assets that are not held in joint ventures are the greater of (i) the servicing fee applicable to the underlying mortgage loan prior to foreclosure and (ii) 1.00% annually of the fair market value of the REO or 1.00% annually of the purchase price of any REO otherwise purchased by the Company.

Newrez is reimbursed for all customary, reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its obligations, including the actual cost of any repairs and renovations to foreclosed property undertaken on the Company's behalf. The total fees incurred by the Company for these services are dependent upon the following: (i) for fees based on mortgage loans, the total fees will be dependent upon the unpaid principal balance and the type of mortgage loans that the Servicer services; and (ii) for fees based on REO properties, property values, previous unpaid principal balance of the relevant loan and the number of REO properties.

If any Servicing Agreement has been terminated other than for cause and/or the Servicer terminates the Servicing Agreement, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee equal to the aggregate servicing fees payable under the applicable Servicing Agreement for the immediately preceding 12-month period.

#### Fees and Reimbursements
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $6.3 million in management fees under the Management Agreement (of which $4.7 million was paid in cash, including $1.1 million of reimbursable expenses, and $1.6 million was paid shares of Common Stock, amounting to 105,687 shares). During the same period, the Company incurred servicing fees of $2.0 million under Servicing Agreements with the Servicer.

#### Preferred Stock Offering
An affiliate of the Manager purchased 400,000 shares at the public offering price of $25.00 per share of the Company's 9.875% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock issued in the Company's public offering in March 2025.

#### PGRE Investment
In December 2025, as part of the execution of its commercial real estate ("CRE") investment strategy, the Company acquired an indirect minority interest in Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP ("PGOP"), which through its affiliates and joint ventures owns a portfolio of CRE properties, through an investment in affiliated aggregator vehicles formed in connection with Rithm's acquisition of Paramount Group, Inc. The Company made an aggregate cash contribution of $50.0 million in exchange for an indirect 3.9% ownership interest. The Company also committed to make additional cash capital contributions of up to $7.5 million under certain circumstances in exchange for additional limited partnership interests. Affiliates of Rithm own the remaining limited partnership interests in PGOP through the aggregator vehicles and serve as the general partner of the aggregator vehicles.

#### OTHER MATTERS

#### Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 that they file. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, officers and 10% stockholders were complied with during 2025, except that Rithm Capital Corp. had one transaction that was inadvertently untimely filed on a Form 4.

#### Other Matters to Come Before the Annual Meeting
RPT does not intend to bring before the Annual Meeting any matters other than the proposals specifically described above, and RPT knows of no matters other than those to come before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with the recommendation of RPT's management on such matters, including any matters dealing with the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

#### Advance Notice for 2027 A nnual Meeting of Stockholders
*Rule 14a-8 Proposals.* Any stockholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, to be considered for inclusion in RPT's proxy materials for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders must have been received at RPT's principal executive offices no later than December 22, 2026. Such proposals must also comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC if such proposals are to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy.

*Nominations for Director and Non-Rule 14a-8 Proposals*. In addition, any stockholder who wishes to propose a nominee to the Board or propose any other business to be considered by the stockholders (other than a stockholder proposal included in our proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act) must comply with the advance notice provisions and other requirements of Article II, Section 11 of the RPT Bylaws, which are on file with the SEC and may be obtained from our corporate secretary upon request. Pursuant to Article II, Section 11 of the RPT Bylaws, RPT must receive timely notice of the nomination or other proposal in writing by not later than the close of business on January 21, 2027, nor earlier than December 22, 2026. However, in the event that the date of the mailing of the notice for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the mailing of the notice for the 2026 Annual Meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received no earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice for such meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of the mailing of the notice for such meeting or the 10th day following the date of the first public announcement of the date of mailing of the notice for such meeting is first made.

*Nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for Purposes of Rule 14a-19*. To be timely for purposes of Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than RPT's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 in addition to satisfying the requirements of the RPT Bylaws, as described above.

#### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and on the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. **In addition, our SEC filings are available, free of charge, on our website: www.rithmpropertytrust.com**. Such information will also be furnished upon written request to Rithm Property Trust Inc., 799 Broadway, 8<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10003, Attention: Investor Relations.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for notices of annual meetings, proxy statements, proxy cards and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," is permitted by Maryland law and potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Some brokers "household" proxy materials, delivering a single set of proxy materials to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account. Instead of receiving future copies of our proxy materials by mail, you can elect to receive an e-mail that will provide electronic links to these documents. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will save the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business, will give you an electronic link to the proxy voting site and will also help preserve environmental resources.

*Stockholders of Record*. If you vote on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, simply follow the prompts for enrolling in the electronic proxy delivery service.

*Street Name Holders*. If you hold your shares in a bank or brokerage account, you also may have the opportunity to receive the proxy materials electronically. Please check the information provided in the proxy materials you receive from your bank or broker regarding the availability of this service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c.

Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise.

Shares that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as well as any Shares exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan, shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with the payment of any purchase price with respect to any Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan, as well as Shares exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall again be available for Awards under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; d.

No Participant who is a non-employee director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be granted Awards during any calendar year that, when aggregated with such non-employee director's cash fees with respect to such calendar year, exceed $800,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for the Company's financial reporting purposes). The Administrator may make exceptions to increase such limit to $1,000,000 for an individual non-employee director in extraordinary circumstances, such as where a non-employee director serves as the non-executive chairman of the Board or lead independent director, or as a member of a special litigation or transactions committee of the Board, as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation involving such non-employee director.

#### Section 5. Equitable Adjustments
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a.

In the event of any Change in Capitalization (including a Change in Control), an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, in the manner determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (i) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4 hereof, (ii) the kind and number of securities subject to, and the Exercise Price or Base Price of, any outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares, or the amount of cash or amount or type of other property, subject to outstanding Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonuses and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan, or (iv) the performance criteria and performance periods applicable to any Awards granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Any such adjustments shall be, as determined by the Administrator, in accordance with Sections 409A and/or 424 of the Code, to the extent applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization (including a Change in Control), the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, but subject in all events to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and Section 424 of the Code, to the extent applicable, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares, cash or other property covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Base Price thereof, if any; provided, however, that if the Exercise Price or Base Price of any outstanding Award is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares, cash or other property covered by such Award, the Administrator may cancel such Award without the payment of any consideration to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c.

As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date of grant) of the Shares for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Options.

<u>Awards and Cert</u>i<u>ficates</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; i.

The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Stock granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock transfer form, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such award. Certificates for shares of unrestricted Common Stock may, in the Company's sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ii.

With respect to an Award of Restricted Stock Units to be settled in Shares, at the expiration of the Restricted Period, stock certificates in respect of the Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Units may, in the Company's sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant, or the Participant's legal representative, in a number equal to the number of Shares underlying the Award of Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; iii.

The Award Agreement may provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as set forth in the Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain performance related goals, the Participant's termination of employment or service with the Company Group, or the Participant's death or Disability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividend or dividend equivalent awarded with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall, unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Award Agreement, be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as the underlying Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Administrator shall have sole and complete authority to determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which any LTIP Units shall be granted, the number of such LTIP Units to be granted and the terms and conditions thereof. LTIP Units must be granted for service to the Operating Partnership. Each LTIP Unit awarded will be equivalent to an award of one Share for purposes of reducing the number of Shares available under the Plan on a one-for-one basis pursuant to Section 4.

Each LTIP Unit granted under the Plan shall vest at such times and under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

to determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be granted, the number of Shares to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock-Based Awards, or the manner in which such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled (e.g., in Shares, cash or other property), or the conditions to the vesting and/or payment or settlement of such Other Stock-Based Awards (which may include, but not be limited to, achievement of performance criteria) and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b.

<u>Stock Bonuses</u>. In the event that the Administrator grants a Stock Bonus, the Shares constituting such Stock Bonus shall, as determined by the Administrator, be evidenced in uncertificated form or by a book entry record or a certificate issued in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such Participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is payable.

#### Section 12. Cash Awards
The Administrator may grant Awards that are payable solely in cash, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and such Cash Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Cash Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon the achievement of performance criteria.

#### Section 13. Change in Control Provisions
Except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event that (a) a Change in Control occurs and (b) either (i) an outstanding Award is not assumed or substituted in connection therewith or (ii) an outstanding Award is assumed or substituted in connection therewith and the Participant's employment or service is terminated by the applicable member of the Company Group without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, then: (A) any unvested or unexercisable portion of any Award carrying a right to exercise shall become fully vested and exercisable; and (B) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to an Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at actual performance levels

For purposes of this Section 13, an outstanding Award shall be considered to be assumed or substituted for if, following the Change in Control, the Award remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control except that, if the Award related to Shares, the Award instead confers the right to receive common equity of the acquiring entity (or cash or such other security or entity as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 5 hereof).

#### Section 14. Voting Proxy
The Company reserves the right to require the Participant, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to appoint such Person as shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion as the Participant's proxy with respect to all applicable unvested Awards of which the Participant may be the record holder of from time to time to (a) attend all meetings of the holders of the shares of Common Stock, with full power to vote and act for the Participant with respect to such Awards in the same manner and extent that the Participant might were the Participant personally present at such meetings, and (b) execute and deliver, on behalf of the Participant, any written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the shares of Common Stock in the same manner and extent that the Participant might but for the proxy granted pursuant to this sentence.

#### Section 15. Amendment and Termination
The Administrator may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would materially impair the rights of a Participant under any outstanding Award without such Participant's consent unless necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Award to any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement relating to such

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

Award or to preserve the intended tax treatment of an Award (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendments to the Plan shall be effective without approval of the Company's stockholders if stockholder approval of the amendment is then required pursuant to the Code or the rules of the primary stock exchange or stock market on which the Shares are then traded.

The Administrator may amend the terms of any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 5 hereof and the immediately preceding sentence, no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any Participant without the Participant's consent; provided that the Administrator may amend the terms of any such Award to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Award to any applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement relating to such Award or to preserve the intended tax treatment of an Award (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and by accepting an Award under this Plan, the Participant thereby agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 15 to such Award (as determined by the Administrator) without further consideration or action.

#### Section 16. Unfunded Status of Plan
The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

#### Section 17. Withholding Taxes
Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for purposes of applicable taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, an amount in respect of such taxes up to the maximum statutory rates in the Participant's applicable jurisdiction with respect to the Award, as determined by the Company. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto as determined by the Company. Whenever Shares or property other than cash are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations as determined by the Company; provided, that, with the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either (a) electing to have the Company withhold from such delivery Shares or other property, as applicable, or (b) by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations as determined by the Company. Such withheld Shares or other property or already owned and unrestricted shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and any fractional share amounts resulting therefrom shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award as determined by the Company.

#### Section 18. Transfer of Awards
Until such time as the Awards are fully vested in accordance with the Plan or an Award Agreement, no purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a "<u>Transfer</u>") by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any Person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of any Shares or other property underlying such Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant's guardian or legal representative.

#### Section 19. No Claim to Awards; No Right to Continued Employment or Service
No Eligible Recipient or other Person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Administrator's determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company Group, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company Group to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time. References in this Plan to "employment", "employees" or similar/related terms or concepts shall be construed to include "partnerships," "partners" or similar/related terms or concepts where an individual's relationship with the Company Group is based on their status being that of a partner of a partnership rather than as an employee. Any wording amendments necessary to give effect to such intent shall be implied into this Plan but shall not serve to imply an employment relationship between (i) the Company Group and (ii) an individual, where such an employment relationship did not exist previously.

#### Section 20. Effective Date
The Plan was adopted by the Board on April 21, 2026 and shall become effective without further action as of the date that it is approved by the Company's stockholders (the "<u>Effective Date</u>").

#### Section 21. Term of Plan
No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

#### Section 22. Securities Matters and Regulations
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Common Stock with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b.

Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines that the listing, registration or qualification of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Common Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c.

In the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

such registration, such Common Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Administrator may require a Participant receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such Participant is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution.

#### Section 23. No Fractional Shares
No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Administrator shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

#### Section 24. Beneficiary
A Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Administrator and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation by filing a new designation with the Administrator, or such other procedures as implemented by the Administrator. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate shall be deemed to be the Participant's beneficiary.

#### Section 25. Paperless Administration
In the event that the Company or the Administrator establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

#### Section 26. Severability
If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.

#### Section 27. Clawback
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award (and/or any amounts received with respect to such Awards) shall be subject to recovery, reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement or any recoupment, clawback, and/or other forfeiture policy of the Company Group (whenever adopted), as applicable and as may be in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Clawback Policy of Rithm Property Trust Inc. or any successor policy.

#### Section 28. Securities and Other Applicable Laws
No Participant will be permitted to acquire, or will have any right to acquire, Shares if such acquisition would be prohibited by any share ownership limits contained in Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws or would impair the Company's status as a REIT.

The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Shares or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any term or condition of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver or offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from delivering or offering to sell or selling, and shall have no liability with respect to the foregoing, unless such delivery, distribution or sale, as applicable, complies with all applicable laws (including applicable securities laws) and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Section 29. Section 409A of the Code
The Plan, any Award Agreements, as well as payments and benefits under the Plan, are intended to be exempt from, or to the extent subject thereto, to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or additional taxes, penalties, or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment or service with the Company Group for purposes of the Plan and no payment or benefits shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the "short term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards (or any other amounts payable hereunder) are nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and that would otherwise to made or payable to a "specified employee" (as determined under Section 409A of the Code) upon such individual's separation from service, the settlement and payment of such Awards (or other amounts) shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or upon the Participant's death, if earlier). Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Administrator shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distributions permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Participants with respect to any deferred amounts, provided that such distributions meet the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

Neither the Company Group nor the Administrator make any representation that any Awards or any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and none of the foregoing are undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A of the Code.

#### Section 30. Governing Law
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law or choice of law of such state.

#### Section 31. Titles and Headings
The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

#### Section 32. Successors
The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

#### Section 33. Data Privacy
By participating in the Plan or accepting an Award or any rights granted under the Plan, each Participant consents to the collection, transfer and processing (in electronic or other form) of personal data by and between the Administrator and the Company Group for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan and Award Agreements, Awards granted under the Plan, and the Participant's participation. Such personal information shall include, but not be limited to, data regarding participation in the Plan and Shares offered or received, purchased or sold under the Plan from time to time, name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), details of all Awards and other appropriate financial and other data about

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

the Participant and the Participant's participation in the Plan. In addition to transferring the data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in this Plan, the Company Group and the Administrator each may transfer the data to any third parties assisting the Company or the Administrator in the implementation, administration, and management of this Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in this Plan. Recipients of the data may be located in the Participant's country or elsewhere, and the Participant's country and any given recipient's country may have different data privacy laws and protections. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the data (in electronic or other form) for the purposes of assisting the Administrator and the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan and Awards and the Participant's participation in the Plan.

#### Section 34. Relationship to Other Benefits
No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare, or other benefit plan of the Company Group except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

#### Section 35. No Constraint on Corporate Action
Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be construed to prevent or limit any member of the Company Group or any of their respective stockholders from taking any corporate action, including, but not limited to, any recapitalization, reclassification, changes of its capital or business structure, reorganization, merger, consolidation, dissolution or sale, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Awards thereunder.

#### Section 36. No Duty to Inform Regarding Exercise Rights
None of the Company, the Administrator, the Board or any officer, director or employee of the foregoing shall have any duty to inform a Participant of the pending expiration of the period in which an Option or Share Appreciation Right may be exercised.
