Exhibit 99.1

 

 

CIM Commercial Trust Corporation Reports 2020 First Quarter Results

 

Dallas—(May 11, 2020) CIM Commercial Trust Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCT and TASE: CMCT-L) (“we”, “our”, “CMCT”, “CIM Commercial”, or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that primarily acquires, owns, and operates Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States, today reported operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

First Quarter 2020 Highlights

 

·                  Annualized rent per occupied square foot(1) on a same-store(2) basis increased 12.3% to $50.20 as of March 31, 2020 compared to $44.72 as of March 31, 2019.

 

·                  Our same-store(2) office portfolio was 86.1% leased as of March 31, 2020 compared to 96.7% as of March 31, 2019.  The decrease is primarily due to the repositioning of an office property in Los Angeles, California.

 

·                  During the first quarter of 2020, we executed 9,232 square feet of leases with terms longer than 12 months, of which 8,254 square feet were recurring leases executed at our same-store(2) office portfolio, representing same-store(2) cash rent growth per square foot of 13.7%.

 

·                  Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6,787,000), or $(0.46) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $287,631,000, or $18.90 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019.

 

·                  Same-store(2) office segment net operating income(3) (“NOI”) decreased 6.2%, while same-store(2) office cash NOI(4) decreased 7.5%, for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019.

 

·                  Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders(5) was $(1,529,000), or $(0.10) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $(14,120,000), or $(0.97) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019.

 

·                  Core FFO attributable to common stockholders(6) was $(1,358,000), or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $9,513,000, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019.

 

Management Commentary

 

“Although we anticipate an impact on our second quarter results from COVID-19 disruption, we are pleased that we have collected approximately 90.0% of April rent to date, excluding parking,” said David Thompson, CIM Commercial’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

“We will continue to work with our tenants to maximize collections and maintain our current occupancy levels.  We believe we are well-positioned to navigate through this challenging time given our high-quality assets and flexible sources of capital. We have taken steps to reduce costs and bolster our liquidity, including eliminating the base service fee payable to our Operator. Given our access to capital and our advisor’s sourcing capabilities, we are working to position the Company to capitalize on future opportunities.”

Elimination of Base Service Fee

 

On May 11, 2020, we amended our master services agreement to replace the base service fee, which was $1,128,000 per year, subject to adjustment for inflation, with an incentive fee pursuant to which we will pay, on a quarterly basis, 15.00% of CIM Commercial’s quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75% (i.e., 7.00% on an annualized basis) of CIM Commercial’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity (i.e., common stockholders’ equity plus accumulated depreciation and amortization) for such quarter. The amendment is effective as of April 1, 2020. The incentive fee hurdle for the first quarter of 2020 would have been $0.23 per share of common stock based on CIM Commercial’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity for such quarter. Based on the expected performance of the Company for the rest of 2020, we do not anticipate paying any incentive fee in 2020.

 

Financial Highlights

 

As of March 31, 2020, our real estate portfolio consisted of 11 assets, all of which are fee-simple properties.  The portfolio included 9 office properties (including one development site, which is being used as a parking lot), totaling approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet, and one hotel, with an ancillary parking garage, which has 503 rooms.  We also own and operate a lending business.

 

First Quarter 2020

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6,787,000), or $(0.46) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $287,631,000, or $18.90 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of $377,581,000 in gain on sale of real estate, a decrease of $13,280,000 in segment NOI(3), an increase of $1,194,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, and a decrease of $318,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, partially offset by a decrease of $66,200,000 in impairment of real estate, a decrease of $25,071,000 in loss on early extinguishment of debt, a decrease of $4,372,000 in depreciation and amortization, a decrease of $1,792,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $587,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $340,000 in provision for income taxes.

 

FFO attributable to common stockholders(5) was $(1,529,000), or $(0.10) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $(14,120,000), or $(0.97) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in FFO attributable to common stockholders(5) is primarily attributable to a decrease of $25,071,000 in loss on early extinguishment of debt, a decrease of $1,792,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $587,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $340,000 in provision for income taxes, partially offset by a decrease of $13,280,000 in segment NOI(3), an increase of $1,194,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, and a decrease of $318,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments.

 

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders(6) was $(1,358,000), or $(0.09) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $9,513,000, or $0.61 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in core FFO attributable to common stockholders(6) is primarily attributable to a decrease of $13,280,000 in segment NOI(3), an increase of $1,194,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, and a decrease of $318,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, partially offset by a decrease of $2,073,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, adjusted to exclude a gain related to the termination of interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,792,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $340,000 in provision for income taxes.

Segment Information

 

Our reportable segments during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office and hotel, as well as a segment for our lending business. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(6,787,000), or $(0.46) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $287,631,000, or $18.90 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which represents a decrease of $294,418,000, or $19.36 per diluted share of common stock. Total segment NOI(3) was $11,535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $24,815,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Office

 

Same-Store

 

Same-store(2) office segment NOI(3) decreased 6.2%, while same-store(2) office cash NOI(4) decreased 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in same-store(2) office segment NOI(3) is primarily due to lower revenues and higher expenses at an office property in Los Angeles, California and an increase in payroll costs at one of our properties, partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity and an increase in expense reimbursements at certain of our properties. The office property in Los Angeles, California is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such property, which space has been partially occupied by an affiliate of the Company since May 2019.

 

At March 31, 2020, the Company’s same-store(2) office portfolio was 85.8% occupied, a decrease of 960 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(2) basis, and 86.1% leased, a decrease of 1060 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(2) basis. The annualized rent per occupied square foot(1) on a same-store(2) basis was $50.20 at March 31, 2020 compared to $44.72 at March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company executed 8,254 square feet of recurring leases at our same-store(2) office portfolio, representing same-store(2) cash rent growth per square foot of 13.7%.

 

Total

 

Office segment NOI(3) decreased to $8,753,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $19,732,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, the sale of two office properties in Washington, D.C., which was consummated in July 2019, lower revenues and higher expenses at an office property in Los Angeles, California, and an increase in payroll costs at one of our properties, partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity and an increase in expense reimbursements at certain of our properties. The office property in Los Angeles, California is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such property, which space has been partially occupied by an affiliate of the Company since May 2019.

 

Hotel

 

Hotel segment NOI(3) decreased to $1,771,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $3,881,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in occupancy and average daily rate in March 2020 as compared to March 2019 as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”).

Lending

 

Our lending segment primarily consists of our SBA 7(a) lending platform, which is a national lender that primarily originates loans to small businesses in the hospitality industry. Lending segment NOI(3) was $1,011,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1,202,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in premium income from the sale of the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans and a decrease in interest income resulting from a decrease in the prime rate, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense as a result of a reduction in the outstanding balances of our SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes and secured borrowings and a reduction in loan losses.

 

Debt and Equity

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued 366,991 shares of Series A preferred stock, 118,911 Series A preferred warrants, each of which allows the holder to purchase 0.25 shares of our common stock, and 5,980 shares of Series D preferred stock for aggregate net proceeds of $8,416,000. Net proceeds represent gross proceeds offset by costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A preferred stock, Series A preferred warrants and Series D preferred stock, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses.

On January 28, 2020, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of our Series A preferred stock, or portion thereof for issuances during the period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020.

Definitions

 

(1)                                 Annualized rent per occupied square foot represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified periods, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail.

 

(2)                                 Same-store properties are properties that we have owned and operated in a consistent manner and reported in our consolidated results during the entire span of the periods being reported. We excluded from our same-store property set this quarter any properties (i) acquired on or after January 1, 2019; (ii) sold or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements on or before March 31, 2020; or (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project we believed significantly affected its results at any point during the period commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on March 31, 2020. When determining our same-store properties as of March 31, 2020, no properties were excluded pursuant to (i) and (iii) above and ten properties were excluded from the 2019 period pursuant to (ii) above.

 

(3)                                 Segment net operating income (“segment NOI”): for our real estate segments represents rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property related expenses and excludes non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of real estate, transaction costs, and provision for income taxes. For our lending segment, segment NOI represents interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. Please see our reconciliations of office, hotel, lending, and total cash NOI to segment NOI and net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders starting on page 12.

 

(4)                                 Cash net operating income (“cash NOI”): for our real estate segments represents segment NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of the straight lining of rents, acquired above/below market lease amortization and other adjustments required by GAAP. For our lending segment, there is no distinction between cash NOI and segment NOI. Please see our reconciliations of office, hotel, lending, and total cash NOI to segment NOI and net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders starting on page 12.

 

(5)                                 Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO attributable to common stockholders”) represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated and redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”). Please see our reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders starting on page 10, and the discussion of the benefits and limitations of FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance.

 

(6)                                 Core FFO attributable to common stockholders (“core FFO”) represents FFO attributable to common stockholders (computed as described above), excluding gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, redeemable preferred stock redemptions, redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends, gain (loss) on termination of interest rate swaps, and transaction costs. Please see our reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to core FFO attributable to common stockholders starting on page 11, and the discussion of the benefits and limitations of core FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance.

Earnings per share (“EPS”) for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly EPS amounts due to the required method for computing EPS for the respective periods. In addition, EPS is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.  The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used in computing our basic and diluted per-share amounts for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

We believe that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated and redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”).

 

Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.  The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

(a)                                 In connection with the sale of certain properties during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a $25,071,000, or $1.72 per diluted share of common stock, loss on early extinguishment of debt primarily related to the legal defeasance and prepayment of mortgage loans collateralized by such properties. Such loss on early extinguishment of debt is included in, and has the effect of reducing, net income attributable to common stockholders and FFO attributable to common stockholders, because loss on early extinguishment of debt is not an adjustment prescribed by NAREIT.

 

(b)                                 For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the effect of certain shares of redeemable preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted FFO attributable to common stockholders and the diluted weighted average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding as such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Core Funds from Operations

(Unaudited and in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

In addition to calculating FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT, we also calculate a supplemental FFO metric we call core FFO attributable to common stockholders. Core FFO attributable to common stockholders represents FFO attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with NAREIT’s standards, excluding losses (or gains) on early extinguishment of debt, redeemable preferred stock redemptions, redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends, gains (or losses) on termination of interest rate swaps, and transaction costs. We believe that core FFO is a useful metric for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company as it excludes from FFO the effect of certain amounts that we believe are non-recurring, are non-operating in nature as they relate to the manner in which we finance our operations, or transactions outside of the ordinary course of business.

 

Like any metric, core FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because, in addition to excluding those items prescribed by NAREIT when calculating FFO, it excludes amounts incurred in connection with non-recurring special projects, prepaying or defeasing our debt, repurchasing our preferred stock, and adjusting the carrying value of our preferred stock classified in temporary equity to its redemption value, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate core FFO in the same manner as we do, or at all; accordingly, our core FFO may not be comparable to the core FFOs of other REITs who calculate such a metric. Therefore, core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Core FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to core FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

Reconciliation of Net Operating Income

(Unaudited and in thousands)

 

We internally evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our real estate segments based on segment NOI, which is defined as rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property related expenses and excludes non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of real estate, transaction costs, and provision for income taxes. For our lending segment, we define segment NOI as interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis NOI, or “cash NOI”. For our real estate segments, we define cash NOI as segment NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of the straight lining of rents, acquired above/below market lease amortization and other adjustments required by GAAP.

 

Segment NOI and cash NOI are not measures of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income from continuing operations, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or as an indication of our performance or of our ability to pay dividends. Companies may not calculate segment NOI or cash NOI in the same manner. We consider segment NOI and cash NOI to be useful performance measures to investors and management because, when compared across periods, they reflect the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. Additionally, we believe that cash NOI is helpful to investors because it eliminates straight line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.

 

Below is a reconciliation of cash NOI to segment NOI and net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Important Disclosures Forward-looking Statements The information set forth herein contains forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts or discuss the business and affairs of CMCT on a prospective basis. Further, statements that include words such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “target,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue,” “pursue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “seek,” “plan,” or “should” or the negative or other words or expressions of similar meaning, may identify forward-looking statements. This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, statements about CMCT's outlook for net income (loss), NOI and derivations thereof. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT's management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the scope, severity and duration of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, (ii) the potential adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of CMCT and its tenants and business partners, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets, (iii) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT's development activities, (iv) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents, (v) fluctuations in market rents, including as a result of COVID-19, and (vi) general economic, market and other conditions.

Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this earnings release will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

Total Returns Based on NAV2,3 NAV per Share + Dividends Maximizing Returns For Stockholders As of March 31, 2020. Total returns includes changes in stock price or NAV per share, as applicable, and includes all dividends declared and paid. With respect to CMCT, includes dividends paid on common stock from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2020. Please see the estimated net asset value table on page 28 and see “Net Asset Value (NAV)” under “Important Information” with respect to the methodology of the calculation of the NAV of CMCT on page 31. “U.S. Office REITs” reflects the weighted average historical stock price and NAV performance of the companies included in the SNL US REIT Office Index as of March 31, 2020 based, for all periods indicated, on the weights attributed to each such company by such index as of March 31, 2020. The SNL US REIT Office Index is an index of certain publicly traded office REITs in the United States. The characteristics of the portfolios of assets of such companies included in “U.S. Office REITs” may differ significantly from the characteristics of CMCT’s portfolio of assets. “U.S. Office REITs” may therefore not be an appropriate benchmark for the performance of CMCT. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The data used in this chart is derived from SNL and filings with the SEC. The amounts of regular and special cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding as of the applicable record dates. All amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Past performance is not indicative of future results. CMCT is the product of a merger (the “Merger”) between a subsidiary of CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM REIT”), a fund operated by CIM Group, and PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC”), a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust, consummated in Q1 2014. Represents dividends paid on our common stock from January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2020. Excludes a special dividend paid to PMC Commercial Trust’s stockholders in connection with the Merger, but includes 2014 dividends received by CIM REIT stockholders prior to the Merger and dividends on convertible preferred stock received by Urban Partners II, LLC, an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, on an as converted basis, in the Merger. The per share equivalent in proceeds from CMCT’s June 2016 tender offer is $6.45, calculated by dividing $210,000,000, the amount used by CMCT to purchase shares of common stock of CMCT in the tender offer, by 32,558,732, the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such tender offer, as adjusted to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

In May 2018, we completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $38,200,000 of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The notes mature on March 20, 2043, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. Based on the anticipated repayments of our collateralized SBA 7(a) loans, at issuance, we estimated the weighted average life of the notes to be approximately 2 years. In October 2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CMCT can borrow up to a maximum of $250,000,000, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain properties. Outstanding advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.55% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.55%. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions. The Company borrowed an additional $50,000,000 on the revolving credit facility on April 3, 2020. As of May 7, 2020, approximately $14,900,000 was available for future borrowings. Outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of March 31, 2020 of 4,851,367, less redemptions of 24,513 shares, times the stated value of $25.00 per share.

Key Metrics Lease Expirations as a % of Annualized Office Rent (March 31, 2020)1 Top Five Tenants (March 31, 2020) Represents gross monthly base rent, as of March 31, 2020, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail. Prior to February 28, 2023, the tenant may terminate up to 140,000 square feet of space in the aggregate (of which no more than 100,000 rentable square feet may be terminated with respect to the rentable square feet expiring in 2027) in exchange for a termination penalty. From and after February 28, 2023, with respect to the rentable square feet expiring in 2025, and February 28, 2025, with respect to rentable square feet expiring in 2027, the tenant has the right to terminate all or any portion of its lease with CMCT, effective as of any date specified by the tenant in a written notice given to CMCT at least 15 months prior to the termination, in each case in exchange for a termination penalty, the amount of which is dependent on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the date of the termination notice, the amount of the square feet to be terminated and the location within the building of the space to be terminated.

CMCT Important Information

Important Information 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 “Book Value” below and operating companies presented at gross assets less debt, as of the Report Date (as defined below) (including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments), plus binding unfunded commitments. 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. (CMMT) (which represents assets under management), a perpetual-life real estate debt fund, is $1.0 billion as of the Report Date. Report Date is defined to mean as of December 31, 2019. 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). Equity Owned and Operated (EOO) represents the NAV (as defined below) before incentive fee allocation, plus binding unfunded commitments, which is $18.1 billion as of the Report Date, inclusive of $0.3 billion of EOO attributable to CCLA (as described above) and $0.9 billion of EOO for CMMT (which represents equity under management). For calculating the Book Value for CIM IV, the underlying assets of CMCT are assumed to be liquidated based upon the third-party appraised value of such assets. CIM does not view the price of CMCT’s publicly-traded shares to be a meaningful indication of the fair value of CIM IV’s interest in CMCT due to the fact that the publicly-traded shares of CMCT are thinly-traded. 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. 31
