ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 77 Table of Contents As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of December 31, 2024 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2024, were effective at a reasonable assurance level. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION During the three months ended December 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers, as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”, as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Real Estate Assets: Determination of Impairment Indicators – Refer to Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, vacancies, reduced lease rates, changes in anticipated holding periods, significant increases to budgeted costs for units under development, or a reduction in prevailing market values for assets being considered for disposition. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. The process for evaluating real estate impairment requires management to make significant assumptions related to certain inputs. Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. F-2 Table of Contents Given the Company’s evaluation of possible indications of impairment of real estate assets requires management to make significant assumptions, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether management appropriately identified impairment indicators required a high degree of auditor judgment. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of real estate assets for possible indications of impairment included the following, among others: • We evaluated management’s impairment indicator analysis by testing real estate assets for possible indications of impairment, including searching for adverse asset-specific and/or market conditions, such as vacancies, tenant bankruptcies and other credit concerns, among others, as well as assessing changes in anticipated holding periods. • We inspected budgeted costs for units under development and performed corroborating inquiries with management, to determine whether there were significant increases to budgeted costs. • We performed inquiries with management, including property accounting and portfolio oversight, to determine whether factors were identified in the current period that may be an impairment indicator, including changes in anticipated holding periods, or reduced lease rates, and corroborated these inquiries through review of third-party market reports and inspection of meeting minutes of the Board of Directors. Assessment of Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) Reserve – Refer to Notes 2, 7 and 8 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company estimates its CECL reserve primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method for its first mortgage loans and the probability of default and loss given default method for its liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value and the amortized cost basis of the loan. Significant judgments are required in determining the CECL reserve, including the evaluation of historical market loan loss data, the impact of expected economic conditions on the loan portfolio, and determining collateral fair values of collateral-dependent loans. For commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), the Company determines whether a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss by considering a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, recent events specific to the security, failure to make scheduled payments, and changes to external credit ratings. Credit losses are estimated by calculating the difference between the present value of estimated cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security. Significant judgment is used in estimating expected future cash flows for the Company’s real estate-related securities. We identified the assessment of the CECL reserve as a critical audit matter because of the subjectivity, complexity, and estimation uncertainty in determining the CECL reserve. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our specialists when evaluating the CECL methodology, analytical models, and key inputs and assumptions used in the models. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the CECL reserve included the following, among others: • We tested the impact of expected economic conditions on the loan portfolio, and other assumptions used in determining the CECL reserve. • We evaluated the service auditor's report for the third-party WARM method CECL model, which is used to calculate the expected loss for the Company’s first mortgage loans. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists for selected collateral-dependent loans, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions made, including whether the significant inputs used to determine the fair value were appropriate and consistent with what market participants would use to value the collateral. F-3 Table of Contents • We evaluated the appropriateness of each model and significant assumptions used, independently calculated each model’s computational accuracy, and utilized our credit specialists to assist us with these evaluations specific to the WARM method CECL model. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we developed independent fair value estimates for selected CMBS determined to have a credit loss, and compared our estimates to management’s estimates. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Tempe, Arizona March 28, 2025 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

At the completion of the Initial DRIP Offering, a total of approximately $ 241.7 million of shares of common stock had been issued. The remaining $ 5.3 million of unsold shares from the Initial DRIP Offering were deregistered. The Company registered an additional $ 600.0 million of shares of common stock under the DRIP (the “Secondary DRIP Offering,” and together with the Initial DRIP Offering, the “DRIP Offerings,” and the DRIP Offerings collectively with the Initial Offering, the “Offerings”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-212832), which was filed with the SEC on August 2, 2016 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. The Company began to F-11 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) issue shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering on August 2, 2016 and continues to issue shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) establishes an updated estimated per share net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s common stock on at least an annual basis for purposes of assisting broker-dealers that participated in the Initial Offering in meeting their customer account reporting obligations under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2231. Distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for participants in the DRIP at the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board. Additionally, the estimated per share NAV as determined by the Board serves as the per share NAV for purposes of the share redemption program. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock was $ 6.09 , which was established by the Board on February 29, 2024 using a valuation date of January 31, 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Board established an updated estimated per share NAV of the Company’s common stock on March 20, 2025, using a valuation date of December 31, 2024, of $ 5.22 per share. Commencing on March 28, 2025, distributions are reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock under the DRIP at a price of $ 5.22 per share and $ 5.22 per share serves as the most recent estimated per share NAV for purposes of the share redemption program. The Company’s estimated per share NAVs are not audited or reviewed by its independent registered public accounting firm. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and is required to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its credit and real estate investments in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether the entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company will reassess its initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these credit and real estate investments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, CLR is a VIE that is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary, as the Company has the ability to direct the activities of CLR and the obligation to absorb CLR’s losses through its guarantee of CLR’s indebtedness, which is significant to CLR. The non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets represents the equity interests in CLR owned by outside investors. As of December 31, 2024, CLR’s loan portfolio consisted of senior secured mortgage loans with a net book value of $ 1.0 billion and investments in real estate-related securities of $ 241.3 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of CLR’s investment in CIM NP JV Holdings, LLC (“NP JV Holdings”) was $ 171.8 million. CLR had $ 904.0 million of debt outstanding, net of deferred financing costs, as of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a portion of the Company’s portfolio of liquid corporate senior loans with an aggregate principal balance of $ 265.4 million to OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, resulting in net proceeds of $ 259.7 million after closing costs and a loss of $ 2.9 million. The collateral manager for OFSI BSL XIV CLO, Ltd. is OFS CLO Management II, LLC, an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor (as defined in Note 13 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements). The Company does not maintain effective control over the liquid corporate senior loans and the Company does not have the ability, nor the requirement, to repurchase the liquid corporate senior loans. The liquid corporate senior loans served as the initial positions for the formation of a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”), in which the Company subsequently invested $ 27.6 million in a subordinated note (the “CLO subordinated note”). The CLO is a VIE, given the insufficient equity at risk, evidenced by the tranched capital structure and multiple series of debt instruments issued. However, the Company, through its investment in the CLO subordinated note, lacks the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. Additionally, the collateral manager, which does direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance, was deemed to not be under common control with the Company. As such, the Company was determined to not be F-12 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) the primary beneficiary and the CLO is not consolidated on the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the CLO subordinated note is $ 26.9 million and is included in real estate-related securities and other on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For more information, refer to Note 7 — Real Estate-Related Securities and Other. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Real Estate Assets Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows: Buildings 40 years Site improvements 15 years Tenant improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term Intangible lease assets Lease term Recoverability of Real Estate Assets The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, lease concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; significant increases to budgeted costs for units under development; and a reduction in prevailing market values for assets being considered for disposition. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The Company’s impairment assessment as of December 31, 2024 was based on the most current information available to the Company, including expected holding periods. If the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. The assumptions and uncertainties utilized in the evaluation of the impairment of real estate assets are discussed in detail in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for further discussion regarding real estate investment activity. Assets Held for Sale When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, based on management’s best estimate, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. Dispositions of Real Estate Assets Gains and losses from dispositions are recognized once the various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met. A discontinued operation includes only the disposal of a component of an entity and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results. Given the Company’s current asset portfolio and strategy, the Company’s dispositions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation and thus, the results of the properties and condominiums that were sold will not be reported as discontinued operations, and any associated gains or losses from the dispositions are included in F-13 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net. See Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for a discussion of the disposition of individual properties and condominiums during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information. The fair values of above- and below-market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including, for below-market leases, any bargain renewal periods. The above- and below-market lease intangibles are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above-market leases are amortized as a reduction to rental income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below-market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, the remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Company’s relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above- or below-market lease intangibles relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income. The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income, which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease, are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed. The Company has acquired, and may continue to acquire, certain properties subject to contingent consideration arrangements that may obligate the Company to pay additional consideration to the seller based on the outcome of future events. Additionally, the Company may acquire certain properties for which it funds certain contingent consideration amounts into an escrow account pending the outcome of certain future events. The outcome may result in the release of all or a portion of the escrowed funds to the Company or the seller or a combination thereof. Contingent consideration arrangements for asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved. The Company estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and any difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage note’s outstanding principal balance is amortized or accreted to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable. The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Certain acquisition-related expenses related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as described above. Acquisition-related manager expense reimbursements are expensed as incurred and are F-14 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) included in expense reimbursements to related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Other acquisition-related expenses continue to be expensed as incurred and are included in transaction-related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities The Company is engaged in an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement through NP JV Holdings (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”), of which it owns, indirectly through CMFT MT JV Holdings, LLC and CLR NP Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of CLR, approximately 50 % of the outstanding equity. Through the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which holds approximately 93 % of the membership interest in NewPoint JV, LLC (the “NewPoint JV”) pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement entered into between the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and NewPoint Bridge Lending, LLC, the Company indirectly owns approximately 47 % of the outstanding equity of the NewPoint JV on a fully diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and is subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in NP JV Holdings’ earnings and distributions, including unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the NewPoint JV. The Company records its share of NP JV Holdings’ profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. For more information, refer to Note 6 — Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. Non-controlling Interest in 2022 Consolidated Joint Venture From December 2021 to July 2022, the Company determined it had a controlling interest in a consolidated joint venture arrangement (the “2022 Consolidated Joint Venture”) and, therefore, met the requirements for consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded net income of $ 66,000 and paid distributions of $ 1.1 million to the non-controlling interest. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company disposed of the underlying properties previously owned through the 2022 Consolidated Joint Venture, as further discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds. The Company deposits cash with several high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held. Included in cash and cash equivalents was $ 1.2 million and $ 2.2 million of unsettled liquid corporate senior loan purchases as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had $ 3.9 million and $ 13.1 million in restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $ 1.9 million and $ 1.9 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As part of certain of the Company’s debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties and interest income from certain first mortgage loans are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $ 2.0 million of construction reserves, amounts held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023. In addition, the Company had a $ 9.2 million deposit held as cash collateral included in restricted cash as of December 31, 2023, that was applied by Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) as repayment of certain eligible assets transferred under the Master Repurchase Agreement with Barclays (as described in more detail in Note 10 — Repurchase Facilities, Notes Payable and Credit Facilities) during the year ended December 31, 2024. Real Estate-Related Securities and Other Real estate-related securities and other consists primarily of the Company’s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), CLOs, and equity securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification for real estate-related securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. F-15 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) As of December 31, 2024, the Company classified its investments in CMBS and CLO as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive (loss) income. The amortized cost of the Company’s CMBS is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method. The amortized cost of the Company’s CLO subordinated note reflects accretion of interest income based on the effective yield method less any cash distributions received or entitled to be received. CLO subordinated note positions are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the residual cash flows of payments received on underlying securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The Company’s investments in equity securities of public and private companies are carried at their estimated fair values with unrealized gains and losses reported on the consolidated statements of operations. Dividend income is included in other (expense) income, net on the consolidated statements of operations, of which the Company recorded $ 5.1 million and $ 5.6 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company monitors its CMBS and CLO for changes in fair value. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors, such as market conditions. Such losses that are credit related are recorded as a current expected credit loss in increase in provision for credit losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent cumulative adverse changes in expected cash flows on the Company’s CMBS and CLO are recognized as an increase to current expected credit losses. However, the allowance is limited to the amount by which the CMBS and CLO’s amortized cost exceeds its fair value. Favorable changes in expected cash flows are recognized as a decrease to current expected credit losses. For additional information regarding the Company’s process for estimating current expected credit losses for its real estate-related securities, see the Current Expected Credit Losses section below. Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to CMBS in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each security agreement. Loans Held-for-Investment The Company’s loans held-for-investment include loans related to real estate assets, as well as credit investments, including commercial mortgage loans and other loans and securities related to commercial real estate assets, as well as corporate loan opportunities that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and objectives. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any current expected credit losses and are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to loans held-for-investment and related receivables, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each loan agreement. Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. See the Revenue Recognition section below for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue from lending activities. Current Expected Credit Losses Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment, CMBS and CLO included in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. While ASC 326 does not require any particular method for determining current expected credit losses, it does specify current expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASC 326 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model should have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP framework underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors. The Company estimates the current expected credit loss for its first mortgage loans primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the FASB F-16 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans, the Company uses a probability of default and loss given default method using a comparable data set. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral, and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data. The Company only expects to charge-off impairment losses as a reduction to current expected credit losses and as a reduction to the respective loan balance if and when such amounts are deemed non-recoverable. This is generally at the time a loan is repaid or foreclosed. However, non-recoverability may also be concluded if, in the Company’s determination, it is nearly certain that all amounts due will not be collected. Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans held-for-investment and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, property type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s). Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows: 1- Outperform — Most satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, good leverage capacity. A “1” rating maintains predictable and strong cash flows from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are neutral to favorable. Collateral, if appropriate, exceeds performance metrics; 2- Meets or Exceeds Expectations — Acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity, modest leverage capacity. A “2” rating could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the credit demonstrates an ample current cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan; 3- Satisfactory — Acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. A “3” rating is at times characterized by acceptable cash flows from operations. The trends and conditions of the credit’s operations and balance sheet are neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan can reasonably be achieved; 4- Underperformance — The debt investment possesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The obligor’s operations and/or balance sheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. These weaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the normal course of business but may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position if not checked or corrected. Collateral performance, if appropriate, falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and 5- Default/Possibility of Loss — The debt investment is protected inadequately by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. The underlying company’s operations have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases in revenues and cash flows. Major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; risk of principal loss. Collateral performance, if appropriate, is significantly worse than underwriting. The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all newly originated or acquired loans held-for-investment during a most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception. F-17 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) In estimating credit losses related to real estate-related securities, management considers a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. Credit losses, if any, are estimated by calculating the difference between (i) the present value of estimated cash flows expected to be collected from the security discounted at the yield determined as of the initial acquisition date or, if since revised, as of the last date previously revised, and (ii) the net amortized cost basis of the security. Significant judgment is used in estimating future cash flows for the Company’s real estate-related securities. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written off when the associated debt is extinguished or repaid before maturity. The presentation of all deferred financing costs, other than those associated with the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities, are classified such that the debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Debt issuance costs related to securing a revolving line of credit are presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. As such, the Company’s current and corresponding prior period total deferred costs, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets relate only to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities and the historical presentation, amortization and treatment of unamortized costs are still applicable. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $ 6.5 million and $ 12.1 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, related to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined the financing will not close. Due to Affiliates CMFT Management, and certain of its affiliates, received and will continue to receive, fees, reimbursements and compensation in connection with services provided relating to the Offerings and the acquisition, management, financing and leasing of the properties of the Company. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the designation of the derivative instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a gain or loss to operations. Redeemable Common Stock Under the Company’s share redemption program, the Company’s obligation to redeem shares of its outstanding common stock is limited, among other things, to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records the maximum amount that is redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in its consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value. Leases The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. The Company is not a party to any material leases where it is the lessee. Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease, but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, including if they F-18 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations. Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in the origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third-party costs and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to salaries and benefits, supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are expensed as incurred. Upon successful lease execution, leasing commissions are capitalized. Development Activities Project costs and expenses, including interest incurred, associated with the development, construction and lease-up of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. For additional information, refer to Note 4 — Real Estate Assets. Revenue Recognition Revenue from leasing activities Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases and, therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. The Company continually reviews whether collection of future lease payments and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants are probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of future lease payments is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income for amounts previously recorded and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach and lease-related receivables are adjusted and taken against rental and other property income only when collectability becomes not probable. Revenue from lending activities Interest income from the Company’s loans held-for-investment and CMBS is recognized using the effective interest method (or the modified straight-line method when it is materially consistent with the effective interest method). Interest income is comprised of interest earned on credit investments and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees, other fees and discounts recognized through the life of each investment. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned, with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a nonaccrual loan. Interest income on the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans is accrued as earned beginning on the settlement date. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method. The Company recognizes interest income on its CLO subordinated note using the effective yield method utilizing expected cash flows from the underlying positions. The accretable yield is initially measured as the excess of all cash flows expected to be collected attributable to the beneficial interest, estimated at the transaction date over the initial investment, and will be re-evaluated upon the receipt of each quarterly distribution. Expected cash flows inherent in the estimate of accretable yields are based on expectations of default, as well as other loan-performance assumptions that impact the loans underlying the CLO portfolio. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method. Accrual of interest income is suspended on nonaccrual loans. Loans that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. Interest collected is recognized on a cash basis when received as investment income or as a reduction in the amortized cost basis, based on specific facts and circumstances, until accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and the Company believes all future principal and interest will be received according to the contractual loan terms. F-19 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company will generally not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its taxable income to its stockholders, and so long as it, among other things, distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it or its subsidiaries may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. Earnings (Loss) and Distributions Per Share Earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented. Diluted income (loss) per share considers the effect of any potentially dilutive share equivalents, of which the Company had no ne for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. Distributions per share are calculated based on the authorized monthly distribution rate. Reportable Segments The Company’s segment information reflects how the chief operating decision makers review information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company has two reportable segments: Credit — engages primarily in acquiring and originating primarily floating rate first and second lien mortgage loans, either directly or through co-investments in joint ventures, related to real estate assets. This segment also includes investments in real estate-related and other securities, equity securities, liquid corporate senior loans and corporate senior loans. The Company’s credit segment derives its revenues from the lending activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”. Real estate — engages primarily in acquiring and managing geographically diversified income-producing retail, industrial and office properties that are primarily single-tenant properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases. The Company’s real estate segment derives its revenues from the leasing activities described above under “Revenue Recognition”. See Note 18 — Segment Reporting for a further discussion regarding these segments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendments in this update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduce new disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The ASU became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024. ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures during the year ended December 31, 2024. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances the disclosures required for reportable segments on an annual F-20 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 has resulted in incremental disclosures, which are included within Note 18 — Segment Reporting. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows: Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability. The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities: Real estate-related securities and other — The Company generally determines the fair value of its CMBS by utilizing broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from pricing models to determine the reported price. Pricing models for CMBS are generally discounted cash flow models that usually consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class and incorporate deal collateral performance such as prepayment speeds and default rates, as available. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. The Company’s CLO subordinated note is valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company determines the fair value of its CLO subordinated note through consideration of the underlying investment portfolio metrics, including prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and estimated market yields, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market and indicative prices provided by broker-dealers. Operating metrics related to the specific CLO subordinated note are also considered in determining the fair value of the investment. The Company’s equity securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending upon the availability of the fair value inputs used in determining the respective fair values. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity securities is based on quoted market prices when readily and regularly available in an active market. A breakout of the Company’s CMBS, CLO subordinated note, and equity securities’ levels of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 can be found in the tables under Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis below. Repurchase facilities, notes payable and credit facilities — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period F-21 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. Derivative instruments — In the normal course of business, the Company may use certain types of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are generally valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives has generally fallen within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, certain credit valuation adjustments associated with such derivatives may utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. Loans held-for-investment — The Company’s loans held-for-investment are recorded at cost upon origination, net of loan origination fees and discounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its loans held-for-investment by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk. The Company has determined that its commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans held-for-investment and corporate senior loans are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s liquid corporate senior loans are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the number of market quotations or indicative prices from pricing services that are available, and whether the depth of the market is sufficient to transact at those prices in amounts approximating the Company’s investment position at the measurement date. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table details the net book value and fair value of the financial instruments described above as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Net Book Value Fair Value Net Book Value Fair Value Level Financial assets: First mortgage loans (1) $ 3,085,104 $ 3,141,665 $ 3,539,111 $ 3,596,662 3 Liquid corporate senior loans 35,653 32,062 518,252 515,839 (2) Corporate senior loans 250,120 256,543 207,102 211,167 3 Total financial assets $ 3,370,877 $ 3,430,270 $ 4,264,465 $ 4,323,668 Financial liabilities: Repurchase facilities, notes payable and credit facilities $ 3,182,614 $ 3,098,368 $ 3,939,125 $ 3,827,782 2 Total financial liabilities $ 3,182,614 $ 3,098,368 $ 3,939,125 $ 3,827,782 ____________________________________ (1) Includes two first mortgage loans secured by assets that the Company took control of via deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure subsequent to December 31, 2024, as discussed in Note 19 — Subsequent Events. (2) As of December 31, 2024, $ 26.0 million and $ 6.1 million of the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, $ 445.7 million and $ 70.2 million of the Company’s liquid corporate senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending F-22 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): Balance as of December 31, 2024 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Financial assets: CMBS $ 286,757 $ — $ 241,341 $ 45,416 CLO subordinated note 26,901 — — 26,901 Equity securities 32,170 31,547 — 623 Total financial assets $ 345,828 $ 31,547 $ 241,341 $ 72,940 Balance as of December 31, 2023 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Financial assets: CMBS $ 476,715 $ — $ 347,634 $ 129,081 Equity security 42,999 42,999 — — Total financial assets $ 519,714 $ 42,999 $ 347,634 $ 129,081 The following are reconciliations of the changes in financial assets with Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): Level 3 Beginning Balance, January 1, 2023 $ 189,901 Total gains and losses: Unrealized loss included in other comprehensive (loss) income, net ( 43,258 ) Current expected credit losses (1) ( 28,789 ) Purchases and payments received: Discounts, net 10,067 Capitalized interest income 1,160 Balance, December 31, 2023 $ 129,081 Total gains and losses: Unrealized loss on CMBS included in other comprehensive (loss) income, net ( 12,486 ) Current expected credit losses ( 74,254 ) Unrealized loss on CLO subordinated note ( 2,317 ) Purchases and payments received: Conversion to equity securities (2) 654 Investment in CLO subordinated note 31,825 Accreted interest income 1,572 Discounts, net ( 2,349 ) Capitalized interest income 1,214 Ending Balance, December 31, 2024 $ 72,940 ____________________________________ (1) Does not include $ 7.1 million of unrealized losses recognized prior to January 1, 2023 that were reclassified from other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income to increase in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023. F-23 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (2) During the year ended December 31, 2024, two of the Company’s defaulted liquid corporate senior loans were equitized into a Level 3 equity security, as further discussed in Note 7 — Real Estate-Related Securities and Other. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges) Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The Company’s process for identifying and recording impairment related to credit investments, real estate assets and intangible assets is discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an aggregate $ 324.9 million asset-specific credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments related to seven of the Company’s first mortgage loans with an aggregate carrying value of $ 1.0 billion. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an aggregate $ 57.8 million asset-specific credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments related to two of the Company’s first mortgage loans with an aggregate carrying value of $ 263.4 million. The asset-specific credit loss reserve was recorded based on the Company’s estimation of the fair value of the first mortgage loans’ aggregate underlying collateral, less costs to sell the underlying collateral, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These loans are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The Company considered a variety of inputs including property performance, market data and comparable sales, as applicable. The significant unobservable inputs used include the terminal capitalization rate, which ranged from 8.0 % to 9.0 %, and the discount rate, which ranged from 10.0 % to 14.0 %. For additional information regarding the first mortgage loans, refer to Note 8 — Loans Held-For-Investment. As discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets, during the year ended December 31, 2024, real estate assets related to ten properties were deemed to be impaired due to sales prices or revised cash flow estimates that were less than their respective carrying values, and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $ 131.0 million, resulting in impairment charges of $ 52.2 million. The revised cash flow estimates were a result of continued deterioration of fundamentals at certain office properties, including weakened leasing activity and increased capitalization rates, and a revision in assumed holding periods at certain properties. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2024, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired, primarily due to a decrease in expected sales prices and an increase in budgeted costs for certain units under development, and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $ 9.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, real estate assets related to six properties were deemed to be impaired due to sales prices or revised cash flow estimates that were less than their respective carrying values, and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $ 79.8 million, resulting in impairment charges of $ 20.4 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired, primarily due to a decrease in expected sales prices and an increase in budgeted costs for certain units under development, and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $ 14.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, real estate assets related to 23 properties were deemed to be impaired, all of which were due to sales prices that were less than their respective carrying values and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $ 123.9 million, resulting in impairment charges of $ 16.2 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired, primarily due to a decrease in list prices and an increase in budgeted costs for certain units under development, and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $ 16.1 million. The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) terminal capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) the number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions, including the number of months to re-lease, market rental income and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and the future performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. The Company determined that the selling prices used to determine the fair values were Level 2 inputs. The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and terminal capitalization rates used for the Company’s impairment test for the real estate assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 : Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Discount Rate Terminal Capitalization Rate Discount Rate Terminal Capitalization Rate 7.8 % - 11.7 % 7.3 % - 11.2 % 7.5 % - 11.9 % 7.0 % - 11.4 % F-24 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.

Current Expected Credit Losses Current expected credit losses reflect the Company’s current estimate for potential credit losses related to real estate-related securities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Current expected credit losses are recorded in increase in provision for credit losses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further discussion of the Company’s current expected credit losses. The following table presents the activity in the Company’s current expected credit losses related to its position in two different tranches of a CMBS instrument for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): CMBS Current expected credit losses as of January 1, 2023 $ — Provision for credit losses 35,808 Current expected credit losses as of January 1, 2024 35,808 Provision for credit losses 74,254 Current expected credit losses as of December 31, 2024 $ 110,062 During the year ended December 31, 2023, the loan collateralizing one of the Company’s CMBS positions was transferred from the master servicer to a special servicer due to payment default generated by halted rent payments on the underlying office properties being mortgaged. In March 2023, the underlying collateral of the loan was appraised by the special servicer, resulting in an appraisal reduction representing approximately 44 % of one of the CMBS position’s tranches in which the Company is invested. Though the appraisal reduction was partially reversed during the year ended December 31, 2023, the initial appraisal reduction resulted in reduced cash flows received from the respective CMBS position during the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received notice of preliminary sales transaction activity in relation to the underlying collateral of this CMBS position, as well as an additional position in a separate tranche of this instrument, indicative of a bid below the carrying value of the investment. The Company considered various factors, including the factors noted above, in determining whether a credit loss existed. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the CMBS positions did not exceed their amortized cost basis, and as such the Company determined both tranches of the security the Company is invested in had incurred a credit loss. In addition, the CMBS positions were in maturity default during the year ended December 31, 2024 as they did not mature as anticipated on the initial maturity date during December 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the CMBS positions were no longer in maturity default as the CMBS was modified to provide for an extended maturity date of July 2025 plus a six-month extension option, as well as a permanently reduced interest rate to 0.019 % per annum. The Company does not intend to sell the CMBS position and it is not considered more likely than not that the Company will be forced to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost. F-31 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) As a result of the credit loss incurred, the Company reclassified $ 13.6 million of unrealized loss from other comprehensive (loss) income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income to increase in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023, and recorded an incremental $ 22.2 million to increase in provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations identified as part of the Company’s quantitative credit loss assessment during the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $ 74.3 million increase to the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis of the CMBS positions identified as having incurred a credit loss was $ 192.8 million prior to any credit loss provisions. The Company will continue to monitor for changes in expected cash flows in order to continue to measure the credit loss. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had six CMBS positions and one CLO subordinated note with aggregate fair values of $ 161.1 million and $ 26.9 million, respectively, with unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Upon evaluating these securities at the individual security level, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses included in other comprehensive (loss) income as of December 31, 2024 were noncredit-related and would be recovered from the securities’ estimated future cash flows. The Company considered various factors in reaching this conclusion, including that the Company did not intend to sell the securities, it was not considered more likely than not that the Company would be forced to sell the securities prior to recovering the amortized cost, and there were no material credit events that would have caused the Company to conclude that the amortized cost would not be recovered.

F-34 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net (loss) income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net increase of $ 263.6 million in the current expected credit loss reserve against the loans held-for-investment portfolio, bringing the total current expected credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments to $ 406.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by seven collateral dependent, risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans, all of which are collateralized by office properties. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net increase of $ 98.5 million in the current expected credit loss reserve against the loans held-for-investment portfolio, bringing the total current expected credit loss reserve on funded and unfunded commitments to $ 143.2 million. The current expected credit loss reserve reflects certain loans assessed for impairment as well as macroeconomic and current portfolio conditions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had three collateral dependent risk-rated 5 first mortgage loan investments on nonaccrual status: (i) a $ 135.0 million commercial first mortgage loan on an office building in Massachusetts primarily due to a decrease in rent collection, reduced leasing activity, stabilization costs required, and past due interest payments during the year ended December 31, 2024; (ii) a $ 125.5 million commercial first mortgage loan on an office building in Virginia primarily due to slower than anticipated leasing activity driven by COVID-accelerated office trends, decreased in-place occupancy, and past due interest payments during the year ended December 31, 2024; and (iii) a $ 113.3 million commercial first mortgage loan on an office building in California primarily due to being past due on its interest payments during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $ 960,000 , $ 982,000 , and $ 7.8 million, respectively, of interest income on each of the first mortgage loans prior to payment default. No interest income was received as of December 31, 2024 on the risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2024 following payment default. As of December 31, 2024, two of the risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans noted above were more than 90 days past due on their interest payments and one of the risk-rated 5 mortgage loans was less than 90 days past due on its interest payments. Future interest collections related to these loans will be accounted for on a cash basis when received as interest income or as a reduction to the amortized cost basis, based on specific facts and circumstances at the time of payment. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company completed foreclosure proceedings to take control of the assets securing two of these risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans, and resumed accrual on the third risk-rated 5 first mortgage loan upon executing a loan modification and the loan becoming contractually current on its interest payments, as further discussed in Note 19 — Subsequent Events. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2024, accrual was resumed on one of the Company’s first mortgage loans previously on nonaccrual status, and it resumed anticipated interest payments and repaid outstanding overdue interest in accordance with the loan modification discussed below. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s asset-specific credit loss reserve totaled $ 330.2 million and $ 72.4 million, respectively, on funded and unfunded commitments, which related to the Company’s risk-rated 5 first mortgage loans and liquid corporate senior loans. The asset-specific credit loss reserve is recorded based on the Company’s estimation of the fair value of each loan’s underlying collateral, less costs to sell the underlying collateral where applicable, as of December 31, 2024. Risk Ratings As further described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company evaluates its loans held-for-investment portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, loan and credit structure, current LTV ratio, debt yield, collateral performance, and the quality and condition of the sponsor, borrower, and guarantor(s). Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company’s primary credit quality indicator is its risk ratings, which are further discussed above.

Additionally, one of the Company’s risk-rated 5 liquid corporate senior loan investments was downgraded from a risk-rating of 4 during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 due to significant decreases in revenue driving increased risk of default and principal loss.

F-36 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) Loan Modifications The Company may amend or modify a loan depending on the loan’s specific facts and circumstances, which are disclosable under ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”) . Such modifications generally provide borrowers with additional time to refinance or sell the collateral property, interest payment adjustments, deferral of scheduled principal repayments, and/or adjustments or waivers of performance tests that are prerequisite to the extension of a loan maturity. Loan modifications that allow for the option to pay interest in-kind (“PIK”) result in the interest being capitalized and added to the outstanding principal balance of the respective loan. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into five loan modifications that require disclosure pursuant to ASC 326. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office property. As of December 31, 2024, the loan had a carrying value of $ 277.1 million, representing approximately 8.0 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 5. The loan modification provided for the borrower to exercise the remaining extension options and for the accrual of PIK interest for any portion of interest exceeding a fixed 6.25 % interest rate. The borrower elected to PIK $ 2.9 million of interest during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by four office properties during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the loan had a carrying value of $ 53.1 million, representing approximately 1.5 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 5. The loan modification extended the maturity date from February 1, 2025 to April 1, 2027, with no extension options. The Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office property during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the loan had a carrying value of $ 154.3 million, representing approximately 4.5 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 5. The loan modification extended the maturity date from July 7, 2026 to July 7, 2029, with no extension options, exempted $ 20.0 million of the principal balance from accruing interest, modified the variable interest rate from 3.55 % plus Term SOFR to a fixed interest rate of 6.25 %, and allowed for the accrual of PIK interest for 2.25 % of the fixed interest rate. The borrower elected to PIK $ 2.8 million of interest during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by a multifamily property during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the loan had a carrying value of $ 97.8 million, representing approximately 2.8 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 3. The loan modification extended the maturity date from October 7, 2025 to October 7, 2028, with two extension options. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company modified a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office property. As of December 31, 2024, the loan had a carrying value of $ 190.1 million, representing approximately 5.5 % of the Company’s first mortgage loans and was risk-rated 5. The loan modification allowed for the accrual of PIK interest for any portion of interest exceeding the payable interest of 1.0 % plus Term SOFR. The borrower elected to PIK $ 2.4 million of interest during the year ended December 31, 2024. These modified loans are performing in accordance with their respective contractual terms as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, four of these loans are risk-rated 5 as a result of the increased risk of potential principal loss and as collateral performance was deemed to be worse than underwriting. As such, the Company had an asset-specific credit loss reserve recorded for each of these risk-rated 5 modified first mortgage loans as of December 31, 2024. NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s remaining two interest rate cap agreements matured. The Company did not have any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. The notional amount under the derivative instruments is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company had interest rate caps which were used to manage exposure to interest rate movements, but did not meet the requirements to be designated as a hedging instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges is recorded directly to earnings in other (expense) income, net on the accompanying F-37 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) consolidated statements of operations. Interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges in order to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on the Company’s variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income, with a portion of the amount subsequently reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no amounts were reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as a change to interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the amount of gain reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as a decrease to interest expense was $ 2.5 million. No unrealized amounts on interest rate swaps were remaining in other comprehensive (loss) income as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company includes cash flows from interest rate swap agreements in net cash flows provided by operating activities on its consolidated statements of cash flows, as the Company’s accounting policy is to present cash flows from hedging instruments in the same category in its consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for cash flows from the hedged items. The Company had agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contained provisions whereby if the Company defaulted on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, resulting in an acceleration of payment. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value, inclusive of interest payments and accrued interest. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its derivative instruments based on the credit quality of the Company and the respective counterparty. NOTE 10 — REPURCHASE FACILITIES, NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITIES As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 3.2 billion of debt outstanding, including net deferred financing costs, with a weighted average years to maturity of 2.2 years and a weighted average interest rate of 5.5 %. The weighted average years to maturity is computed using the scheduled repayment date as specified in each loan agreement where applicable. The weighted average interest rate is computed using the interest rate in effect until the scheduled repayment date.

Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement will bear interest equal to SOFR for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is 2.875 % per annum (and an additional 2.00 % per annum following an event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement). The revolving period began on February 10, 2023 and concludes on the day preceding the earlier to occur of (i) the scheduled revolving period end date of February 10, 2026, (ii) the date of the declaration of the revolving period end date upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, and (iii) the termination date.

The Credit Securities Revolver may be increased from time to time pursuant to the Fourth Amended Credit and Security Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the amounts borrowed and outstanding under the Credit Securities Revolver totaled $ 12.5 million at a weighted average interest rate of 7.0 %. Borrowings under the Fourth Amended Credit and Security Agreement will bear interest equal to the one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit and Security Agreement) for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is dependent on the type of loan being financed, which includes broadly syndicated, private and middle market loans meeting certain criteria as set forth in the Fourth Amended Credit and Security Agreement and ranges from 1.90 % to 2.75 % per annum during the first two years of the reinvestment period and 2.00 % to 2.85 % during the last year of the reinvestment period and 2.10 % to 2.95 % per annum during the amortization period (and, in each case, an additional 2.00 % per annum following an event of default under the Fourth Amended Credit and Security Agreement).

Morgan Repurchase Facility (as defined below) reflects fair value. (3) Advances under the Repurchase Agreements accrue interest at per annum rates based on Term SOFR (as such term is defined in the applicable Repurchase Agreement) or the daily compounded SOFR plus a spread ranging from 1.30 % to 3.00 % to be determined on a case-by-case basis between Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo or Deutsche Bank and the CMFT Lending Subs. (4) Repurchase facility is held through CLR. (5) Facilities under the repurchase facility with J.P. Morgan (“J.P. Morgan Repurchase Facility”) carry a rolling term which is reset monthly. Such facilities carry no maximum facility size. (6) Under the Master Repurchase Agreement with J.P. Morgan, advances under the repurchase agreement may be made based on one-month Term SOFR plus a spread designated by J.P. Morgan, which as of December 31, 2024, ranges from 1.15 % to 1.45 %. The Repurchase Agreements provide for agreements by each of Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank and J.P. Morgan to re-sell such purchased CRE mortgage loans and CMBS back to CMFT Lending Subs at a certain future date or upon demand. In connection with certain of the Repurchase Agreements, the Company (as the guarantor) entered into guaranties with Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo, and Deutsche Bank (the “Initial Guaranties”), under which the Company agreed to guarantee up to 25 % of the CMFT Lending Subs’ obligations under certain Repurchase Agreements. In addition, in connection with certain of the Repurchase Agreements, the Company (as the “Initial Guarantor”) and certain of the CMFT Lending Subs (individually as a “Replacement Guarantor”, collectively as the “Replacement Guarantors” and together with the Initial Guarantor, the “Guarantors”) entered into or amended guaranties with Citibank, Barclays and Deutsche Bank during the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Guaranties”, and together with the Initial Guaranties, the “Guaranties”), on a joint and several basis until the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the guaranties, at which point the Replacement Guarantor will become the sole guarantor under the guaranty (the “Guarantor Replacement Event”). Under the 2023 Guaranties, the Initial Guarantor and the Replacement Guarantors agreed to guarantee the respective CMFT Lending Subs’ obligations under the applicable Repurchase Agreements. The Repurchase Agreements and the Guaranties contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of these types. In addition, the Guaranties contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain: (i) minimum liquidity of not less than the lower of (a) $ 50.0 million and (b) the greater of (A) $ 10.0 million and (B) 5 % of the then-current Guarantors’ recourse indebtedness, as defined in the Guaranties; (ii) minimum consolidated net worth greater than or equal to $ 1.0 billion plus (a) prior to the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, 75 % of the equity issued by the Guarantors following the respective closing dates of the Repurchase Agreements (the “Repurchase Closing Dates”) or, from and after the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, 75 % of the equity issued by the Replacement Guarantor following the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, minus (b) prior to the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, the aggregate amount of any redemptions or similar transaction by the Guarantors from the Repurchase Closing Dates or, from and after the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable, the aggregate amount of any redemptions or similar transaction by the Replacement Guarantor following the Guarantor Replacement Event, as applicable; (iii) maximum leverage ratio of total indebtedness to total equity less than or equal to 80 %; and (iv) minimum interest coverage ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Guaranties) to interest expense equal to or greater than 1.40 .

NOTE 13 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS Management, investment advisory fees and incentive compensation The Company has incurred fees and expenses payable to CMFT Management and certain of its affiliates in connection with the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets. On March 24, 2023, the Company and CMFT Management entered into the second amended and restated management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), which amended and restated the amended and restated management agreement between the parties dated August 20, 2019. The Company pays CMFT Management a management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the greater of (a) $ 250,000 per annum ($ 62,500 per quarter) and (b) 1.50 % per annum ( 0.375 % per quarter) of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). CMFT Securities has an investment advisory and management agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Investment Advisory and Management Agreement”) with the Investment Advisor. CMFT Securities was formed for the purpose of holding any securities investments and certain other investments made by the Company. The Investment Advisor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIM Group, is registered as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day business affairs of CMFT Securities and its investments in corporate credit and real estate-related securities (collectively, the “Managed Assets”), subject to the supervision of the Board. In connection with the services provided by the Investment Advisor, CMFT Securities pays the Investment Advisor an investment advisory fee (the “Investment Advisory Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 1.50 % per annum ( 0.375 % per quarter) of CMFT Securities’ Equity (as defined in the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement). Because the Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by the Company to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement. In addition, the Investment Advisor has a sub-advisory agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with OFS Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to act as an investment sub-advisor to CMFT Securities. The Sub-Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and is an affiliate of the Investment Advisor. The Sub-Advisor principally provides investment management services with respect to the corporate credit-related securities held by CMFT Securities and its subsidiaries. The Sub-Advisor may allocate a portion of these corporate credit-related securities to its other clients, including affiliates of CIM Group. On a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates F-43 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) 50 % of the sum of the Investment Advisory Fee and incentive compensation attributable to the assets for which the Sub-Advisor has provided investment management services payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees. CMFT Management is entitled to receive incentive compensation, payable with respect to each quarter, which is generally equal to the excess of (a) the product of (i) 20 % and (ii) the excess of (A) Core Earnings (as defined in the Management Agreement) of the Company for the previous 12-month period, over (B) the product of (1) the Company’s Consolidated Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement) in the previous 12-month period, and (2) 7 % per annum, over (b) the sum of any incentive compensation paid to CMFT Management with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no incentive compensation fees were incurred. In addition, the Investment Advisor is eligible to receive a portion of the incentive compensation payable to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement. In the event that the incentive compensation is earned and payable with respect to any quarter, CMFT Management calculates the portion of the incentive compensation that was attributable to the Managed Assets and payable to the Investment Advisor. The Company’s subsidiary, CLR, entered into a separate management agreement (“CLR Management Agreement”) with CMFT Management on February 29, 2024 (“CLR Effective Date”) for the day-to-day management of CLR and its non-securities assets, pursuant to which CLR will pay CMFT Management a base management fee, payable in arrears, equal to 1.25 % of CLR’s net asset value per share (or 0.90 % of its net asset value per share for its founder share classes), plus a performance fee that is, subject to certain adjustment in the calculation for the measurement periods applicable to CLR’s Core Earnings (as defined in the CLR Management Agreement) during the first four calendar quarters, generally equal to the excess of (A) the product of (I) 10 % and (II) the excess of (y) CLR’s Core Earnings for the previous 12-month period, over (z) the product of (i) CLR’s average adjusted capital, and (ii) a hurdle rate of 6.5 % ( 7.25 % for its founder share classes), each considered on an annualized basis, over (B) the sum of any performance fee paid to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). No performance fee shall be payable by CLR to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor with respect to any calendar quarter unless CLR’s Core Earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar months (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters following the CLR Effective Date) in the aggregate are greater than zero. Once CLR’s Core Earnings exceed the hurdle rate, CMFT Management is entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of CLR’s Core Earnings in excess of the hurdle rate, until CLR’s Core Earnings for the applicable period equal 7.224 % ( 8.0576 % for CLR’s founder share classes), each considered on an annualized basis of CLR’s average adjusted capital. Thereafter, CMFT Management is entitled to receive 10 % of CLR’s Core Earnings. CLR Securities Investments, LLC (“CLR Securities”), a subsidiary of CLR, has an investment advisory and management agreement dated February 29, 2024 (the “CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement”) with the Investment Advisor pursuant to which the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day business affairs of CLR Securities and its investments in real estate-related securities (collectively, the “CLR Managed Assets”), subject to the supervision of the CLR board of trustees. In connection with the services provided by the Investment Advisor, CLR Securities pays the Investment Advisor an investment advisory fee (the “CLR Investment Advisory Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the proportion of the base management fee and performance fee calculated pursuant to the CLR Management Agreement that is attributable to the CLR Managed Assets. Because the CLR Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by CLR to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by CLR to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement. The CLR Management Agreement and CLR Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (together, the “CLR Advisory Agreements”) each have an initial three-year term and shall be deemed renewed automatically each year thereafter for an additional one-year period unless CLR provides 180 days’ written notice of termination of a CLR Advisory Agreement after the affirmative vote of CLR’s independent trustees. If either CLR Advisory Agreement is terminated without cause, CMFT Management and/or the Investment Advisor, as applicable, shall receive a termination fee pursuant to the terminated CLR Advisory Agreement equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual management fee and (b) the average annual incentive compensation incurred under the terminated CLR Advisory Agreement during the 24-month period prior to the termination. The Company and CMFT Management have entered into an agreement (the “Offset Agreement”) whereby, (i) for so long as CMFT Management is the external manager of the Company and an affiliate of CIM Group, the Company’s management fee payable to CMFT Management will be reduced by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the base management fee and performance fee payable to CMFT Management by CLR, and (ii) if the Management Agreement and either or both of the CLR Advisory Agreements are simultaneously terminated without cause, the termination fee payable by F-44 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) the Company to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor, as applicable, under the applicable CLR Advisory Agreement shall be reduced by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the termination fee payable to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor by CLR under the applicable CLR Advisory Agreement, such that, in each case, the Company will not pay more fees than would otherwise be payable under its Management Agreement or Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, as applicable. The Offset Agreement also provides that CMFT Management will reimburse to the Company 50 % of the organization and offering expenses paid by the Company for CLR, which reimbursement may be paid as a reduction in the management fee payable to CMFT Management under the Management Agreement. Organization and offering expenses is defined in the CLR Management Agreement as any and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of CLR in connection with the formation of CLR and the marketing and distribution of its common shares of beneficial interest. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received $ 1.1 million from CMFT Management as reimbursement for organization and offering expenses paid by the Company for CLR. The Investment Advisor has engaged the Sub-Advisor to act as an investment sub-advisor with respect to the assets held by CLR Securities. The Sub-Advisor principally provides investment management services with respect to the real estate related securities held by CLR Securities and its subsidiaries. On a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates 50 % of the sum of the CLR Investment Advisory Fee and incentive compensation attributable to the assets for which the Sub-Advisor has provided investment management services payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees. The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ advance written notice to the other party. Pursuant to the Offset Agreement, fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor will be offset by the Company’s proportional share, based on its ownership of CLR, of the fees payable by CLR or its affiliates under the CLR Management Agreement or CLR Investment Advisory Agreement to CMFT Management or the Investment Advisor. Expense reimbursements to related parties The Company reimburses CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor or their affiliates for certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company.

The Board may terminate or amend the Secondary DRIP Offering at the Company’s discretion at any time upon ten days ’ prior written notice to the stockholders. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, approximately 7.0 million, 6.5 million and 5.4 million shares were purchased under the DRIP Offerings for approximately $ 42.6 million, $ 42.9 million and $ 38.9 million, respectively, which were recorded as redeemable common stock on the consolidated balance sheets. Share Redemption Program The Company’s share redemption program permits its stockholders to sell their shares back to the Company after they have held them for at least one year , subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below. The share redemption program provides that the Company will redeem shares of its common stock from requesting stockholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the share redemption program. The Company will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to the share redemption program as follows: (1) the Company will not redeem in excess of 5 % of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things, to the net proceeds the Company receives from the sale of shares under the DRIP Offering, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, the Company intends to limit quarterly redemptions to F-47 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) approximately 1.25 % of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds the Company receives from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent the Company from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. The Company will determine whether it has sufficient funds and/or shares available as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable payment date. Upon receipt of a request for redemption, the Company may conduct a Uniform Commercial Code search to ensure that no liens are held against the shares. If the Company cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available from the sale of shares under the DRIP and/or the limit on the number of shares the Company may redeem during any quarter or year, the Company will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders’ shares and stockholders with exigent circumstances, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion and accompanied by such evidentiary documentation as the Company may request. While the shares of deceased stockholders and stockholders determined to have exigent circumstances will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed in any annual or quarterly period, they will not be subject to the annual or quarterly percentage caps; therefore, if the volume of requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares in a particular quarter were large enough to cause the annual or quarterly percentage caps to be exceeded, even if no other redemption requests were processed, the redemptions of deceased stockholders’ shares would be completed in full, assuming sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were available. If sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were not available to pay all such redemptions in full, the requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares and shareholders deemed to have exigent circumstances would be honored on a pro rata basis. The Company next will give priority to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less at the time the Company receives the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, the Company will honor the remaining quarterly redemption requests on a pro rata basis. Following such quarterly redemption period, if a stockholder would like to resubmit the unsatisfied portion of the prior request for redemption, such stockholder must submit a new request for redemption of such shares prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods. In addition, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to reject any request for redemption for any reason. The Company redeems shares no later than the end of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter. Requests for redemption must be received on or prior to the end of the fiscal quarter in order for the Company to repurchase the shares in the month following the end of that fiscal quarter. The Board may choose to amend the terms of, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time in its sole discretion if it believes that such action is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Any material modifications or suspension of the share redemption program will be disclosed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC and via the Company’s website. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company redeemed approximately 7.3 million, 6.8 million and 5.5 million shares, respectively, under the share redemption program for $ 45.0 million, $ 44.4 million and $ 39.4 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, redemption requests relating to approximately 144.5 million shares went unfulfilled.

The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be subject to awards granted under the Manager Plan is 12,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 8.6 million shares remaining that may be subject to awards granted under the Manager Plan.

NOTE 17 — LEASES The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms, expirations and extension options vary. The Company’s operating leases do not convey to the lessee the right to purchase the underlying asset upon expiration of the lease period. To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company reviews contracts to determine if the agreement conveys the right to control the use of an asset. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. Non-lease components primarily consist of maintenance F-50 Table of Contents CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) services, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. Non-lease components are considered to be variable rental and other property income and are recognized in the period incurred. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 10.5 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2024, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s real estate assets under non-cancelable operating leases, assuming no exercise of renewal options for the succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter, was as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Future Minimum Rental Income 2025 $ 84,399 2026 81,480 2027 80,406 2028 76,583 2029 76,249 Thereafter 520,038 Total $ 919,155 A certain amount of the Company’s rental and other property income is from tenants with leases which are subject to contingent rent provisions. These contingent rents are subject to the tenant achieving periodic revenues in excess of specified levels. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amount of the contingent rent earned by the Company was not significant. Rental and other property income during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Fixed rental and other property income (1) $ 87,796 $ 106,755 $ 192,982 Variable rental and other property income (2) 6,116 8,624 20,407 Total rental and other property income $ 93,912 $ 115,379 $ 213,389 __________________________________ (1) Consists primarily of fixed contractual payments from operating leases with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases, and is net of uncollectible lease-related receivables. (2) Consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and property operating expenses, and percentage rent. The Company has one property subject to a non-cancelable operating ground lease with a remaining term of 8.7 years, with a lease liability (in deferred rental income and other liabilities ) and a related right-of-use (“ROU”) asset (in prepaid expenses and other assets ) of $ 1.8 million in the consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability and ROU asset were initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments using a discount rate of 4.3 %. This reflects the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was calculated based on the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease. The Company recognized $ 250,000 of ground lease expense during the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $ 242,000 was paid in cash during the period it was recognized. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s scheduled future minimum rental payments related to its operating ground lease is approximately $ 250,000 annually for 2025 through 2029, and $ 918,000 thereafter through the maturity date of the lease in August 2033.
