Post-Potential Recapitalization Summary CMCT would remain principally focused on Class A and creative office assets and also may participate more actively in other CIM Group urban real estate strategies and product types in order to broaden CMCT’s participation in CIM Group’s $29.1 billion1 platform and capabilities for the benefit of all classes of stockholders Potential recapitalization plan unlocks embedded value and enhances growth prospects & trading liquidity 3 Same-store growth NOI CAGR Target of 4% - 6% through 20237 Same-store growth without development and accretive acquisitions implies illustrative 2023 net asset value of >$450 million (~$35 per share) from pro forma net asset value of ~$297 million (~$23 per share)8 As of June 30, 2018.

For the purpose of the calculation, debt is taken at face value and excludes secured borrowings, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, deferred financing costs on our debt, and premiums and discounts on our debt; preferred stock is taken at redemption value; and common equity is reduced by the difference between the face value and the carrying value of our debt, deferred financing costs on our debt, and the difference between the redemption value and carrying value of preferred stock. Total Net Assets represents total assets net of other liabilities, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, and secured borrowings.

See “Post-Potential Recap: Growth Focused in Gateway Markets” starting on page 10 and “Important Disclosures” starting on page 19 and, in particular, “Net Asset Value,” with respect to the methodology of the calculation of NAV of CMCT. The illustrative NAV per share at 2023 is based on a number of assumptions, including an increase in NOI at 5% per year, and using the anticipated capital structure of CMCT immediately following the potential recapitalization (which is different from CMCT’s target capital structure). Any changes in these assumptions will affect the ability of CMCT to achieve the illustrative NAV per share. There can be no guarantee that CMCT will be able to achieve NOI growth of 5% per year. In addition, as discussed on page 9, CMCT is targeting a capital structure that is different from CMCT’s current capital structure. Assumes CMCT Common Stock is added to the CRSP US Equity Index, Russell 2000, MSCI US Real Estate and S&P SmallCap 600 following the potential recapitalization, which, together with other reasons, is expected to make CMCT Common Stock eligible for inclusion on such indices by increasing is public float.

Potential Recap Plan Unlocks Value, Positions CMCT for Growth Unlock Embedded Value Through Targeted Asset Sales Monetize stabilized assets in Oakland, San Francisco and Washington DC to unlock embedded value that has been created since 2005 (10 assets totaling 2.7 million square feet) Use net proceeds from asset sales (after repaying all senior corporate debt) and cash on hand for return of capital to common stockholders for consideration approximating NAV (~$23 per share as of June 30, 2018)1 Certain officers and directors of CMCT have expressed a willingness to reinvest their aggregate pro rata share of all net proceeds received by CIM Group and its affiliated entities from the return of capital event estimated to be ~$11 million into newly issued common shares CMCT officers and directors would own ~6% of CMCT following the potential recapitalization2 Enhance Growth Prospects Following the potential recapitalization, CMCT would have total net assets at fair value of ~$607 million3,5 with operating properties in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento and Austin; aggregate in-place rents on remaining office properties well below market and approximately $592 million in real estate assets at fair value3 and ~$16 million invested in real estate loans at fair value3,6 CMCT would maintain attractive development opportunities in Oakland, Austin, Washington DC, and Sacramento CMCT would target same-store NOI CAGR of 4% - 6% through 20234 After friction costs.

Potential Recap Plan Unlocks Value, Positions CMCT for Growth [Cont’d] Improve Trading Liquidity CIM Group has expressed an intent to dissolve CIM REIT1 (which holds ~95% of CMCT’s outstanding Common Stock2) concurrently with the potential recapitalization of CMCT and distribute any shares of CMCT Common Stock then held by it to CIM REIT’s 27 institutional partners CMCT’s public float would increase to ~94% (from ~4%), which is expected to improve trading volume and make CMCT Common Stock eligible for inclusion in in several indices CMCT estimates that it will be added to certain stock indices and, if so added, ~25%-30% of its outstanding Common Stock should be held by passive funds tracking such indices within 12 months following the completion of the potential recapitalization3 Increased public float and trading liquidity would benefit all preferred and common stockholders and improve CMCT’s access to capital (float could improve further a result of the potential exchange offer – see below) Continue to target capital structure consisting of 45% common equity4 Anticipate no senior debt in place immediately following the potential recapitalization; plan to maintain long-term debt at minimal levels Target capital structure would utilize revolving debt only as a bridge for investments and working capital until it can be replaced with the issuance of common or preferred stock Offer Series L stockholders specified alternatives following the completion of the potential recapitalization (see page 16); evaluating options for Series A stockholders Re-evaluate Common Stock dividend policy after potential recapitalization Prudent and Flexible Capital Structure CMCT was the product of a merger (the “Merger”) between a newly formed subsidiary of CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM REIT”), a fund operated by CIM, and PMC Commercial Trust, a publicly traded real estate investment trust, consummated in Q1 2014. As of September 30, 2018. Assumes CMCT Common Stock is added to the CRSP US Equity Index, Russell 2000, MSCI US Real Estate and S&P SmallCap 600 following the potential recapitalization, which, together with other reasons, is expected to make CMCT Common Stock eligible for inclusion on such indices by increasing is public float. There is no guarantee that the potential recapitalization, the inclusion of CMCT Common Stock in such indices or increased public float will occur. Based on fair value. See “Important Disclosures” starting on page 19 and, in particular, “Net Asset Value,” with respect to the methodology of the calculation of fair value. 5

Anticipated Benefits for Preferred Stockholders Immediately following the potential recapitalization, preferred stockholders would move to a more senior position as a result of the repayment of all mortgages and senior unsecured corporate debt (using proceeds from asset sales)1 Debt-to-total capitalization would decline to ~4% (from 32%)1,2,3 Significantly increased public float would improve trading liquidity of Common Stock, which is beneficial to preferred stockholders in the event shares are redeemed in exchange for common shares Increased liquidity in Common Stock would improve CMCT’s access to capital No assurance can be made that CMCT will not incur debt having rights senior to our preferred stock in the future. The calculation of debt-to-total capitalization is based on fair value. See “important Disclosures” starting on page 19 and, in particular, “Net Asset Value,” with respect to the methodology of the calculation of fair value. For the purpose of the calculation, debt is taken at face value and excludes secured borrowings, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, deferred financing costs on our debt, and premiums and discounts on our debt; preferred stock is taken at redemption value; and common equity is reduced by the difference between the face value and the carrying value of our debt, deferred financing costs on our debt, and the difference between the redemption value and carrying value of preferred stock.

Important Disclosures 19 Assets Owned and Operated Assets Owned and Operated (AOO) represents the aggregate assets owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM contributes alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has discretion, in each case without duplication. AOO includes total gross assets at fair value, with real assets presented on the basis described in the Book Value disclosure and operating companies presented at gross assets less debt, as of June 30, 2018 (the “Report Date”) (including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments), plus binding unfunded commitments. The only investment currently held by CIM REIT consists of shares of CMCT Common Stock; the Book Value of CIM REIT is determined by assuming the underlying assets of CMCT are liquidated based upon the third-party appraised value, which represents the assets’ third-party appraised value as of December 31, 2017 plus capital expenditures though June 30, 2018. CIM does not view the market price of CMCT’s publicly-traded Common Stock to be a meaningful indication of the fair value of CIM REIT’s interest in CMCT due to the fact that the publicly-traded shares of CMCT represent less than 5% of the outstanding shares of CMCT and are thinly-traded. AOO also includes the $0.3 billion of AOO attributable to CIM Compass Latin America (CCLA), which is 50% owned and jointly operated by CIM. AOO for CMMT Partners, L.P. (which represents assets under management), a perpetual-life real estate debt fund, is $0.5 billion as of the Report Date. Book Value for each investment generally represents the investment’s book value as reflected in the applicable fund’s unaudited financial statements as of the Report Date prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a fair value basis. These book values generally represent the asset’s third-party appraised value as of the Report Date, but in the case of CIM’s Cole Net-Lease Asset strategy, book values generally represent undepreciated cost (as reflected in SEC-filed financial statements). Net Asset Value (NAV) represents the distributable amount based on a “hypothetical liquidation” assuming that on the date of determination that: (i) investments are sold at their Book Values; (ii) debts are paid and other assets are collected; and (iii) appropriate adjustments and/or allocations between equity partners are made in accordance with applicable documents, as determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Net Asset Value Any estimated NAV contained herein shall not be treated as the “Applicable NAV” for purposes of CMCT’s Series A Preferred Stock offering. Neither the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority nor the Securities and Exchange Commission provides rules on the methodology we must use to determine our estimated NAV per share. The determination of estimated NAV involves a number of subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. We believe there is no established practice among public REITs for calculating estimated NAV. Different firms using different property-specific, general real estate, capital markets, economic and other assumptions, estimates and judgments could derive an estimated NAV that is significantly different from our estimated NAV. Thus, other public REITs’ methodologies used to calculate estimated NAV may differ materially from ours. Additionally, the estimated NAV does not give effect to changes in value, investment activities, capital activities, indebtedness levels, and other various activities occurring after June 30, 2018 that would have an impact on our estimated NAV. The estimated NAV per share of Common Stock of $22.97 was calculated by reducing the estimated NAV per share of Common Stock, as of June 30, 2018, of $24.29, by transaction costs expected to be incurred in connection with the potential recapitalization, the Exchange Offer, and the difference between the face value and the carrying value of our debt and the redemption value and carrying value of our redeemable preferred stock. The estimated NAV per share of Common Stock, as of June 30, 2018, of $24.29, was calculated relying in part on appraisals of our real estate assets and the assets of our lending segment. The table “Estimated Net Asset Value” on page 18 sets forth the material items included in the calculation of our estimated NAV. We engaged various third party appraisal firms to perform appraisals of our real estate assets and the assets of our lending segment as of December 31, 2017. Except for one office property acquired in December 2017 and one office property acquired in January 2018, which were based on the purchase price (including transaction costs that were capitalized and assumption of liabilities) negotiated with the unrelated third-party sellers, the fair values of our investments in real estate were based on appraisals obtained as of December 31, 2017, plus capex additions, at cost, incurred thereafter. The December 31, 2017 appraisals were performed in accordance with standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Each of our appraisals were prepared by personnel who are subject to and in compliance with the code of professional ethics and the standards of professional conduct set forth by the certification programs of the professional appraisal organizations of which they are members. The fair values of the assets of our lending segment were based on an appraisal obtained as of December 31, 2017 plus loan activity at cost incurred thereafter.

Important Disclosures 20 CMCT Pro Forma Capital Structure and CMCT Pro Forma Portfolio The following assumptions were used: Targeted Sales of Properties. CMCT is actively exploring the potential sale (the “Potential Sale”) of a portfolio of properties, including five office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, three office properties in Washington, D.C., and one office property in San Francisco, California In connection with the Potential Sale, the assets and liabilities associated with the Potential Sale, with the exception of property-level cash, which is assumed to be retained by CMCT, and property level restricted cash, which is assumed to be converted to unrestricted cash upon sale and retained by CMCT, were eliminated. These adjustments also include the net cash proceeds assumed to be received upon the closing of the Potential Sale. The net cash proceeds assumed to be received upon the closing of the properties to potentially be sold, as determined by third-party appraisal firms as of December 31, 2017, and deducting (1) any related mortgage debt on the properties (assumed to be assumed by the respective buyer(s)), (2) costs, based on the applicable loan agreements, that would be incurred to transfer the related mortgage debt to the buyers, and (3) estimated selling expenses, which were estimated based on expected broker fees, transfer taxes applicable to the location of the properties, and expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the Potential Sale. As no letters of intent or purchase and sale agreements have been executed, actual proceeds could differ materially from those reflected herein. Potential Repayment of Certain Indebtedness. If the Potential Sale occurs, CMCT intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Potential Sale to repay any balances then outstanding on its unsecured term loan facility (the “Potential Repayment of Unsecured Term Loan Facility”). If the Potential Repayment of Unsecured Term Loan Facility occurs, CMCT will terminate three interest rate swaps that effectively convert the floating rate on its unsecured term loan facility to a fixed rate. In connection with the Potential Repayment of Unsecured Term Loan Facility, the outstanding balance on its unsecured term loan facility, the related deferred financing costs and related accumulated amortization, and the interest rate swaps were eliminated, and cash received in connection with the Potential Sale was reduced by the cash used in connection with the Potential Repayment of Unsecured Term Loan Facility, less cash assumed to be received in connection with the termination of the interest rate swaps. Return of Capital to Holders of Common Stock. The net proceeds from the Potential Sale remaining following the Potential Repayment of Unsecured Term Loan Facility, as well as a portion of CMCT’s unrestricted cash balances, would be used to return capital to holders of CMCT Common Stock (the “Potential Return of Capital Event”) at prices approximating the NAV per share of Common Stock in one or more transactions, which may take the form of a special dividend, private repurchase or tender offer. The estimated number of shares to be repurchased, canceled and retired of 31,345,233 was determined by assuming proceeds from the Potential Return of Capital Event of $720,000,000 divided by an estimated NAV per share of CMCT’s Common Stock of $22.97 (the “June 30, 2018 Purchase Price”), which was calculated by reducing the estimated NAV per share of CMCT Common Stock, as of June 30, 2018, of $24.29 by transaction costs expected to be incurred in connection with the Potential Sale as described above, the Potential Return of Capital Event, an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) involving shares of CMCT’s Series L Preferred Stock for shares of either CMCT’s Common Stock or newly issued series of CMCT’s Preferred Stock, and the difference between the face value and the carrying value of CMCT’s debt and the difference between the redemption value and face value of CMCT’s redeemable preferred stock. Estimated fees and expenses associated with the Potential Return of Capital Event were based on the actual fees and expenses incurred in similar transactions previously consummated by CMCT. To the extent the actual sales proceeds from the Potential Sale differ from the estimated sales proceeds used, or the size of the Potential Return of Capital Event differs from that used herein, the magnitude of any Potential Return of Capital Event and the number of shares bought back may differ materially from the assumptions used herein. Sale of Common Stock. Certain directors and officers of CMCT have informed CMCT that they intend to reinvest their pro rata share of all net proceeds received by CIM Group and its affiliated entities in connection with the Potential Return of Capital Event into newly issued shares of CMCT Common Stock (the “Potential CIM Investment”). The amount of such potential purchase will primarily depend on the actual size of the Potential Return of Capital Event described above. The purchase price of each share of Common Stock is assumed to be the June 30, 2018 Purchase Price, as described above. CIM REIT Liquidation. CIM REIT beneficially owns approximately 95% of CMCT’s outstanding Common Stock. If the Potential Sale and Potential Return of Capital Event occur, CIM Group intends to liquidate CIM REIT by distributing to its members, consisting of 27 institutional investors, all remaining shares of CMCT Common Stock then held by CIM REIT. Following the transactions described above, CMCT intends to commence the Exchange Offer. CMCT Pro Forma Capital Structure does not reflect the impact of the Exchange Offer, except for a reduction in cash for certain estimated transaction costs we expect to incur in connection with the Exchange Offer.
