CIM Commercial Trust Corporation Reports 2021 Second Quarter Results
Dallas—(August 9, 2021) CIM Commercial Trust Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCT and TASE: CMCT-L) (“we”, “our”, “CMCT”, “CIM Commercial”, or the “Company”), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), today reported operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Highlights
Portfolio
Same-store(1) office portfolio was 78.5% leased.
Executed 21,913 square feet of leases with terms longer than 12 months.
Financial Results
Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share.
Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders(2) was $859,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders(3) was $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Management Commentary
“Our core funds from operations was $0.06 per share during the second quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of $0.19 per share in the first quarter. The increase was primarily driven by strength in our lending division and improving operating trends at our hotel,” said David Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of CIM Commercial.
“As the quarter progressed, we continued to see improved office leasing activity, hotel occupancy and hotel room bookings for 2022. Our hotel occupancy improved to 59% in June 2021, from 38% in April 2021, while our 2022 hotel bookings are now at nearly 90% of pre-Covid levels with a higher average daily rate1.
Our recently completed rights offering significantly improved our balance sheet and we are focused on acquiring cash flowing true creative office, multifamily, retail, parking, in-fill industrial and limited-service hospitality assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities. It is our intention that no acquisition will exceed more than 10% of the Company’s gross asset value. We intend to finance these acquisitions with a balance of common equity, preferred equity and debt and we will continue to build the quality of our balance sheet while growing the portfolio.
We have an attractive portfolio with significant same store growth opportunity, and we may have opportunities to dispose of some of those assets at attractive prices. To the extent that we do so, we will seek to redeploy proceeds in the same profile of assets that we are pursuing with the capital we have raised.”
Second Quarter 2021 Results
Portfolio
As of June 30, 2021, our real estate portfolio consisted of 12 assets, all of which were fee-simple properties. The portfolio included nine office properties and one development site, which is being used as a parking lot, totaling approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet, and one 503-room hotel with an ancillary parking garage.
Financial Results
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $4.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2020.
FFO attributable to common stockholders(2) was $859,000, or $0.06 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $2.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2020.
1 Based on group bookings at a similar time in 2018 for the year 2019. The adjacent convention center was closed in 2020 due to a an expansion and renovation.

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders(3) was $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $2.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2020. The increase in Core FFO is primarily attributable to an increase in segment net operating income, partially offset by a decrease in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated.
Segment Information
Our reportable segments during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 consisted of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office and hotel, as well as a segment for our lending business. Total Segment net operating income (“NOI”)(4) was $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2020.
Office
Same-Store
Same-store(1) office Segment NOI(4) decreased 11.5%, while same-store(1) office Cash NOI(5), excluding lease termination income, decreased 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenues at an office property in Los Angeles, California and at an office property in Beverly Hills, California due to decreases in occupancy as compared to the same period in 2020.
At June 30, 2021, the Company’s same-store(1) office portfolio was 77.8% occupied, a decrease of 280 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(1) basis, and 78.5% leased, a decrease of 250 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(1) basis. The annualized rent per occupied square foot(6) on a same-store(1) basis was $52.36 at June 30, 2021 compared to $50.29 at June 30, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company executed 16,754 square feet of recurring leases at our same-store(1) office portfolio.
Total
Office Segment NOI(4) decreased to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $8.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in same-store(1) office Segment NOI(4) as described above, partially offset by increased revenues from two properties acquired subsequent to April 1, 2020.
Hotel
Hotel Segment NOI(4) increased to a loss of $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from a loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 2020, due to an increase in occupancy, average daily rate, and food, beverage, and other sundry hotel services as a result of the easing of government restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Monthly occupancy was 38%, 46% and 59% in April, May and June 2021, respectively. The following table sets forth the occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room for our hotel for the specified periods:

______________________

(2)Calculated as trailing 3-month room revenue divided by the number of available rooms.
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(4) was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $110,000 for the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase in premium income from the sale of the guaranteed portion of our SBA 7(a) loans benefited by an increase in the SBA guaranty support from a maximum of 75% per loan to 90% per loan and higher market premiums (noting that the level of guaranty support from the SBA is not permanent and may change back to 75% at any time by act of Congress). In addition, there was an increase in interest income resulting from an increase in the average outstanding portfolio balance during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Debt and Equity
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we issued 430,082 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 7,835 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for aggregate net proceeds of $10.1 million. Net proceeds represent gross proceeds offset by costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses. Additionally during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we conducted a rights offering under which we issued an aggregate of 8,521,589 shares of Common Stock for aggregate net proceeds of $76.9 million. Such proceeds were used to fund a paydown of $75.0 million on our revolving credit facility in June 2021 until they are deployed for their intended use for the development or repositioning of properties, releasing of space in existing properties, capital expenditures, acquisitions consistent with our acquisition and asset management strategies, or other general corporate purposes.
Dividends
On June 7, 2021, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0750 per share of our common stock, which was paid on June 30, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 17, 2021.
On June 7, 2021, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of our Series A Preferred Stock or portion thereof for issuances during the second quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable as follows: $0.114583 per share on July 15, 2021, August 16, 2021 and September 15, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 5, 2021August 5, 2021 and September 5, 2021, respectively.
On June 7, 2021, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35313 per share of our Series D Preferred Stock, or portion thereof for issuances during the second quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable as follows: $0.117708 per share on July 15, 2021, August 16, 2021 and September 15, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 5, 2021August 5, 2021 and September 5, 2021, respectively.
About the Data
Descriptions of certain performance measures, including Segment NOI, Cash NOI, FFO attributable to common stockholders, and Core FFO are provided below. Refer to the subsequent tables for reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(1)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 April 1, 2020; (ii) sold or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements on or before June 30, 2021; or (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project we believed significantly affected its results at any point during the period commencing on April 1, 2020 and ending on June 30, 2021. When determining our same-store properties as of June 30, 2021, one property was excluded pursuant to (i) and (iii) above and no properties were excluded pursuant to (ii) above.
(2)FFO attributable to common stockholders: represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gain (or loss) 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”). See ‘Core FFO’ definition below for discussion of the benefits and limitations of FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance.
(3)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 deemed dividends, redeemable preferred stock redemptions, gain (loss) on termination of interest rate swaps, and transaction costs.
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. In addition, 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, FFO and Core 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, and Core FFO 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 FFO and Core FFO in the same manner as we do, or at all; accordingly, our FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs and Core FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO and 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. FFO and 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. FFO and Core FFO per share for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly FFO and Core FFO per share amounts due to the required method for computing per share amounts for the respective periods. In addition, FFO and Core FFO per share is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.
(4)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 benefit (provision) for income taxes. For our lending segment, Segment NOI represents interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. See ‘Cash NOI’ definition below for discussion of the benefits and limitations of Segment NOI as a supplemental measure of operating performance.
(5)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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For our lending segment, there is no distinction between Cash NOI and Segment NOI. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis NOI excluding lease termination income, or “Cash NOI excluding lease termination income”. 
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.
(6)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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “might,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “pursue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “seek,” “plan,” or “should” or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about CMCT’s plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds. 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 COVID-19, and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, (ii) the adverse effect of COVID-19 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, among others, (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 and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (v) fluctuations in market rents, including as a result of COVID-19, and (vi) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT’s actual results to differ materially from CMCT’s expectations are discussed under the section “Risk Factors” in CMCT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. 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 CMCT’s 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 herein 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 CMCT or any other person that CMCT’s objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable law.

Such forward-looking statements include the timing and terms of the rights offering and the future activities and performance of CMCT, and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "target," "expect," "intend," "might," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would," "continue," "pursue," "potential," "forecast," "seek," "plan," “opportunity,” or "should" or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about CMCT's plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and the trading liquidity of CMCT's common stock. 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 COVID-19, and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, (ii) the adverse effect of COVID-19 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, among others, (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 and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (v) fluctuations in market rents, including as a result of COVID-19, and (vi) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT's actual results to differ materially from CMCT's expectations are discussed under the section "Risk Factors" in CMCT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. 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 CMCT's 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 herein 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 CMCT or any other person that CMCT's objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward- looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable law.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 1) Investment-Level gross returns represent the performance of an investment in a fund based on the equity contributed to the investment by the fund and distributed to the fund from the investment, provided that generally, (a) distributions resulting from debt proceeds or third party capital used to replace equity contributions are applied as a reduction in contributions and, accordingly, are not treated as distributions; (b) any fund-level debt is allocated to the investments and assumed to be investment-level debt, the significant effects of which are as follows: (i) equity contributed is reduced by the amount of assumed debt and (ii) equity distributed is reduced by the amount of repayments on such debt; (c) temporary (working capital) contributions may be treated as a reduction of total contributions in the period the capital is returned to the fund and (d) certain amounts re-contributed from the fund to an investment are deemed to be reductions in prior distributions rather than additional contributions; the effects of (a) – (d) are to reduce the amount of distributions and contributions. Deposits and other preclosing cash outflows are generally assumed to be contributed to the investment at closing. Returns are calculated after taking into account investment-level costs, but before taking into account fund-level costs and expenses, organizational expenses, management fees, carried interest distributions payable to CIM or taxes, the effect of which is expected to be material. Please note, changes in global, national, regional or local economic, demographic or capital market conditions (including as a result of the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that began in the fourth quarter of 2019) can have a significant negative impact on real assets.

Excludes: (a) $8.5 million of secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans that are treated as secured borrowing because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral, and (b) premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. 2. In May 2018, we completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $38.2 million 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 two years. 3. In June 2020, CMCT borrowed funds from the Federal Reserve through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”). Advances under the PPPLF carry an interest rate of 0.35%, are made on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on the amount of loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program and are secured by loans made by CMCT under the Paycheck Protection Program. The maturity date of PPPLF borrowings is the same as the maturity date of the loans pledged to secure the extension of credit, generally two or five years. At maturity, both principal and accrued interest are due. 4. In October 2018, CMCT entered into a secured revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate that, as amended, allows CMCT to borrow up to $209.5 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation (the “2018 revolving credit facility”). In September 2020, the 2018 revolving credit facility was amended (the “2018 Credit Facility Modification”) to remedy the effect that COVID-19 had on CMCT’s ability to borrow under the 2018 revolving credit facility during the period from September 2, 2020 through August 14, 2021 (the “Deferral Period”). The 2018 revolving credit facility bears interest (i) during the Deferral Period at (A) the base rate plus 1.05% or (B) LIBOR plus 2.05%, and (ii) after the Deferral Period, at (A) the base rate plus 0.55% or (B) LIBOR plus 1.55%. The 2018 revolving credit facility is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2018 revolving credit facility is secured by deeds of trust on certain of our properties. During the Deferral Period, CMCT's borrowing capacity is subject to a $15.0 million reserve, which may be reduced by certain capital expenditures made in respect of the properties securing the 2018 revolving credit facility, and a requirement that we maintain a minimum balance of “liquid assets” of $15.0 million, which are defined as (1) unencumbered cash and cash equivalents and (2) up to $5.0 million unfunded availability under the 2018 revolving credit facility. The 2018 revolving credit facility matures in October 2022 and provides for one one-year extension option under certain conditions. As of June 30, 2021, $87.5 million was available for future borrowings. 5. In May 2020, to further enhance its liquidity position and maintain financial flexibility, CMCT entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility with a bank (the "2020 unsecured revolving credit facility") pursuant to which CMCT can borrow up to a maximum of $10,000,000. Outstanding advances under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at the rate of 1.00%. CMCT also pays a revolving credit facility fee of 1.12% with each advance under the 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility, which fee is subject to a cap of $112,000 in the aggregate. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility contains certain customary covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as certain other conditions. The 2020 unsecured revolving credit facility matures in May 2022. 6. Outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of June 30, 2021 of 7,254,635, less redemptions of 156,377 shares, multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Includes shares issued to CIM Group in lieu of cash payment of the asset management fee. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. 7. Outstanding Series D Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of June 30, 2021 of 31,025 multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. 8. Outstanding Series L Preferred Stock represents total shares outstanding as of June 30, 2021 of 5,387,160, multiplied by the stated value of $28.37 per share. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount.

Report Date is defined to mean as of March 31, 2021.   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). Investment-Level Returns represent the performance of an investment in a fund based on the equity contributed to the investment by the fund and distributed to the fund from the investment, provided that generally, (a) distributions resulting from debt proceeds or third party capital used to replace equity contributions are applied as a reduction in contributions and, accordingly, are not treated as distributions; (b) any fund-level debt is allocated to the investments and assumed to be investment-level debt, the significant effects of which are as follows: (i) equity contributed is reduced by the amount of assumed debt and (ii) equity distributed is reduced by the amount of repayments on such debt; (c) temporary (working capital) contributions may be treated as a reduction of total contributions in the period the capital is returned to the fund and (d) certain amounts re-contributed from the fund to an investment are deemed to be reductions in prior distributions rather than additional contributions; the effects of (a) – (d) are to reduce the amount of distributions and contributions. Deposits and other pre-closing cash outflows are generally assumed to be contributed to the investment at closing. Returns are calculated after taking into account investment-level costs, but before taking into account fund-level costs and expenses, organizational expenses, management fees, carried interest distributions payable to CIM or taxes, the effect of which is expected to be material. 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. DISCLAIMERS. The results that an investor will realize will depend, to a significant degree, on the assets actually purchased by CMCT from time to time and the actual performance of such assets, which may be impacted by economic and market factors, including COVID-19. The actual performance of CMCT will be subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those on slide 2. In no circumstance should the hypothetical returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that a specific investment or group of investments will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total loss of their investments. Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss. There can be no assurance that CMCT will achieve comparable results, that the returns sought will be achieved or that CMCT will be able to execute its proposed strategy. Actual realized returns on investments may differ materially from any return indicated herein.
