(collectively, "DataBank"), a leading provider of enterprise-class data center, cloud, and connectivity services, (b) a portfolio of healthcare properties, (c) a portfolio of hospitality properties, (d) a 36.4 % interest in Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. (NYSE: CLNC) and (e) interests in various other equity and debt investments, including general partner (“GP”) interests in funds sponsored by the Company, commercial real estate equity and debt investments and other real estate related securities. The Company also owns and operates an investment management business with $ 16.3 billion of fee earning equity under management, including $ 7.8 billion in digital real estate investments and the remainder in traditional commercial real estate debt and equity investments. 
 Organization 
 The Company was organized in May 2016 as a Maryland corporation and was formed through a tri-party merger (the "Merger") among Colony Capital, Inc. ("Colony"), NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. ("NSAM") and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. ("NRF"). The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2017. 
 The Company conducts all of its activities and holds substantially all of its assets and liabilities through its operating subsidiary, Colony Capital Operating Company, LLC (the "Operating Company" or the "OP") . At June 30, 2020 , the Company owned 90 % of the OP , as its sole managing member. The remaining 10 % is owned primarily by certain current and former employees of the Company as noncontrolling interests. 
 Acceleration of Digital Transformation and COVID-19 Considerations 
 The world continues to face significant healthcare and economic challenges arising from the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, global pandemic. Efforts to address the pandemic, such as social distancing, closures or reduced capacity of retail and service outlets, hotels, factories and public venues, often mandated by governments, are having a significant impact on the global economy and financial markets across major industries, including many sectors of real estate. In particular, the Company's real estate investments in the hospitality, healthcare and retail sectors have experienced a myriad of challenges, including, but not limited to: significant declines in operating cash flows at the Company's hotel and healthcare properties, which in turn, affect their ability to meet debt service and covenant requirements on investment-level debt (non-recourse to the Company) and ability to refinance or extend upcoming maturities (Note 10); flexible lease payment terms sought by tenants; incremental property operating costs such as labor and supplies in response to COVID-19; potential payment defaults on the Company's loans receivable; and a distressed market affecting real estate values in general. Such adverse impact may continue well beyond the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the COVID-19 crisis may also lead to heightened risk of litigation at the investment and corporate level, with an ensuing increase in litigation and related costs.

 The sharp decline and volatility in equity and debt markets, and the economic recession due to COVID-19 have adversely affected the valuation of certain of the Company's financial assets carried at fair value, and also resulted in impairment on certain non-financial assets. Such effects include the determination that the Company's equity method investment in CLNC was other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020 (Note 6), decreases in fair value of debt securities (Note 6) and loans receivable (Note 12), and impairment of real estate assets in the Company's healthcare, hospitality and other equity and debt segments (Note 4). 
 Additionally, the COVID-19 crisis has reinforced the critical role and the resilience of the digital real estate and infrastructure sector in a global economy that is increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined that it would accelerate its shift to a digitally-focused strategy in order to better position the Company for growth. This digital transformation would require a rotation of the Company's non-digital assets into digital-focused investments. As a result, the Company shortened its assumptions of holding periods on its non-digital assets, in particular its hotel and healthcare assets, which significantly reduced the undiscounted future net cash flows to be generated by these assets below their carrying values at June 30, 2020. The shortfall in estimated future net cash flows from these assets was further exacerbated by the negative effects of COVID-19 on property operations and market values, as noted above. As a result, significant impairment was recognized in the second quarter of 2020 on the Company's hotel and healthcare assets. The acceleration of the Company's digital transformation and the overall reduction in value of the Company's non-digital balance sheet also caused a shortfall in the fair value of the Company's other investment management reporting unit over its carrying value, resulting in significant impairment to the other investment management goodwill in the second quarter of 2020 (Note 7). 
 The various impairment and fair value decreases collectively accounted for $2.6 billion of charges in the second quarter of 2020, in addition to an approximately $0.4 billion charge in the first quarter of 2020, of which $2.1 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, were attributable to the OP. These amounts are reflected within impairment loss, other loss and equity method losses on the statement of operations. 
 The Company believes that it has materially addressed overall recoverability in value across all of its non-digital assets as of June 30, 2020, applying the Company's best estimates and assumptions at this time based upon external factors known to date and the Company's expected digital transformation timeline. If the extent and duration of the economic effects of COVID-19 negatively affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations beyond the Company's current projections, the estimates and assumptions currently applied by the Company may change, which may lead to further impairment and fair value decreases in its non-digital assets that could be material in the future. 
 Cooperation Agreement with Blackwells Capital 
 In March 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Blackwells Capital LLC ("Blackwells"), a stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, Blackwells agreed to a standstill in its proxy contest with the Company, and to abide by certain voting commitments, including a standstill with respect to the Company until the expiration of the agreement in March 2030 and voting in favor of the Board of Director’s recommendations until the third anniversary of the agreement. 
 Contemporaneously, the Company and Blackwells entered into a joint venture arrangement for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of CLNY common stock. Distributions to be made through the joint venture arrangement effectively represent a settlement of the proxy contest with Blackwells. At the inception of the arrangement, the fair value of future distributions to Blackwells was estimated at $3.9 million, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and as a settlement loss on the consolidated statement of operations, along with $1.2 million reimbursement of legal costs to Blackwells in March 2020 . The settlement liability is remeasured at fair value each quarter until such time final distributions are made to Blackwells. Refer to Note 12 for further description of the settlement liability. 
 
 2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
 The significant accounting policies of the Company are described below. The accounting policies of the Company's unconsolidated ventures are substantially similar to those of the Company. 
 Basis of Presentation 
 The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
 
 12 

 Table of Contents 
 
 expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or any other future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, or presented as exhibits to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 
 The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The portions of equity, net income and other comprehensive income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the parent are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. A substantial portion of noncontrolling interests represents interests held by private investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by the Company and which invest alongside the Company and membership interests in OP primarily held by certain employees of the Company. 
 To the extent the Company consolidates a subsidiary that is subject to industry-specific guidance, the Company retains the industry-specific guidance applied by that subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements. 
 Use of Estimates 
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. 
 Principles of Consolidation 
 The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, or if the Company has the power to control an entity through a majority of voting interest or through other arrangements. 
 Variable Interest Entities — A VIE is an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (ii) whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (iii) is established with non-substantive voting rights. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company also considers interests held by its related parties, including de facto agents. The Company assesses whether it is a member of a related party group that collectively meets the power and benefits criteria and, if so, whether the Company is most closely associated with the VIE. In performing the related party analysis, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of its investment relative to the related party; the Company’s and the related party's ability to control or significantly influence key decisions of the VIE including consideration of involvement by de facto agents; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or the related party to fund operating losses of the VIE; and the similarity and significance of the VIE’s business activities to those of the Company and the related party. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, may involve significant judgment, including the determination of which activities most significantly affect the entities’ performance, and estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by the VIE. 
 Voting Interest Entities —Unlike VIEs, voting interest entities have sufficient equity to finance their activities and equity investors exhibit the characteristics of a controlling financial interest through their voting rights. The Company consolidates such entities when it has the power to control these entities through ownership of a majority of the entities' voting interests or through other arrangements. 
 At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether changes in facts and circumstances cause a change in the status of an entity as a VIE or voting interest entity, and/or a change in the Company's consolidation assessment. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. An entity may be consolidated as a result of this reassessment, in which case, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the entity are recorded at fair value upon initial consolidation. Any existing equity interest held by the Company in the entity prior to the Company obtaining control will be remeasured at fair value, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon initial consolidation. However, if the consolidation represents an asset acquisition of a voting interest entity, the Company's existing interest in the acquired assets, if any, is not remeasured to fair value but continues to be carried at historical cost. The Company may also deconsolidate a subsidiary as a result of this reassessment, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon deconsolidation depending on the carrying values of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of any interests retained.

 Noncontrolling Interests 
 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests —This represents noncontrolling interests in a consolidated open-end fund sponsored by the Company. The limited partners in the consolidated open-end fund who represent noncontrolling interests generally have the ability to withdraw all or a portion of their interests in cash with 30 days' notice. 
 Redeemable noncontrolling interests is presented outside of permanent equity. Allocation of net income or loss to redeemable noncontrolling interests is based upon their ownership percentage during the period. The carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests is adjusted to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period to an amount not less than its initial carrying value, with such adjustments recognized in additional paid-in capital. 
 Noncontrolling Interests in Investment Entities —This represents predominantly interests in consolidated investment entities held by private investment funds or retail companies managed by the Company or held by third party joint venture partners. Allocation of net income or loss is generally based upon relative ownership interests held by equity owners in each investment entity, or based upon contractual arrangements that may provide for disproportionate allocation of economic returns among equity interests, including using a hypothetical liquidation at book value basis, where applicable and substantive. 
 Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Company —This represents membership interests in OP held primarily by certain employees of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in OP are allocated a share of net income or loss in OP based on their weighted average ownership interest in OP during the period. Noncontrolling interests in OP have the right to require OP to redeem part or all of such member’s membership units in OP ("OP Units") for cash based on the market value of an equivalent number of shares of class A common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company's election as managing member of OP, through issuance of shares of class A common stock (registered or unregistered) on a one -for-one basis. At the end of each reporting period, noncontrolling interests in OP is adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in OP at the end of the period, through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in OP, as applicable. 
 Business Combinations 
 Definition of a Business — The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If not, for an acquisition to be considered a business, it would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., there is a continuation of revenue before and after the transaction). A substantive process is not ancillary or minor, cannot be replaced without significant costs, effort or delay or is otherwise considered unique or scarce. To qualify as a business without outputs, the acquired assets would require an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience that performs a substantive process. 
 Asset Acquisitions — For acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses, the assets acquired are recognized based on their cost to the Company as the acquirer and no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of assets acquired in a group is allocated to individual assets within the group based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to acquisition of assets are included in the cost basis of the assets acquired. 
 Business Combinations — The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method. Transaction costs related to acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred. The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. 
 Contingent Consideration — Contingent consideration is classified as a liability or equity, as applicable. Contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of a business is measured at fair value on acquisition date, and unless classified as equity, is remeasured at fair value each reporting period thereafter until the consideration is settled, with changes in fair value included in net income. Contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of assets is generally recognized only when the contingency is resolved, as part of the basis of the acquired assets.

 Discontinued Operations 
 If the disposition of a component, being an operating or reportable segment, business unit, subsidiary or asset group, represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the operating profits or losses of the component when classified as held for sale, and the gain or loss upon disposition of the component, are presented as discontinued operations in the statements of operations. 
 A business or asset group acquired in connection with a purchase business combination that meets the criteria to be accounted for as held for sale at the date of acquisition is reported as discontinued operations, regardless of whether it meets the strategic shift criteria. 
 The sale of the industrial business in December 2019, including its related management platform, represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and had met the criteria as held for sale and discontinued operations in June 2019. Accordingly, for all prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets (Note 8) and the related operating results are presented as income from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations (Note 16 ). 
 Reclassifications 
 Interest receivable, which was included in other assets as of December 31, 2019, has been reclassified to be presented as part of loans receivable to conform to current period presentation. The reclassification did not affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 
 Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020 
 Credit Losses 
 In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses , followed by subsequent amendments, which modifies the credit impairment model for financial instruments, and codified as Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326. The multiple existing incurred loss models are replaced with a lifetime current expected credit loss ("CECL") model for off-balance sheet credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable by the lender and financial instruments carried at amortized cost, such as loans, loan commitments, held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities, financial guarantees, net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases, reinsurance and trade receivables. Targeted changes are also made to the impairment model of available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities which are not within the scope of CECL. 
 The CECL model, in estimating expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument at the time of origination or acquisition, considers historical loss experience, current conditions and the effects of a reasonable and supportable expectation of changes in future macroeconomic conditions. Recognition of allowance for credit losses under the CECL model will generally be accelerated as it encompasses credit losses over the full remaining expected life of the affected financial instruments. For collateralized financial assets, measurement of credit losses under CECL is based on fair value of the collateral if foreclosure is probable or if the collateral-dependent practical expedient is elected for financial assets expected to be repaid substantially through operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The accounting model for purchased credit-impaired loans and debt securities will be simplified to be consistent with the CECL model for originated and purchased non-credit-impaired assets. For AFS debt securities, unrealized credit losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in amortized cost basis and elimination of the other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") concept will result in more frequent estimation of credit losses. ASC 326 also requires expanded disclosures on credit risk, including credit quality indicators by vintage of financing receivables. 
 Transitional relief is provided through the ability, upon adoption of the new standard, to elect the fair value option for eligible financial instruments within the scope of the new standard, except for HTM and AFS debt securities. Transition will generally be on a modified retrospective basis, including the election of the fair value option, with a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings, except for prospective application of the CECL model for other than temporarily impaired debt securities and purchased credit-impaired assets. 
 The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The Company elected the fair value option for all of its outstanding loans receivable, with a cumulative effect adjustment to increase beginning retained earnings by $ 3.3 million . Under the fair value option, the loans receivable are measured at each reporting period based upon their exit values in an orderly transaction and unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value are recorded in other gain (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations. The loans are no longer subject to evaluation for impairment through an allowance for loan loss as such losses are captured through fair value changes. Additionally, there is no longer an amortization of loan origination fees or discounts on purchased loans as additional interest income.

 The Company had no debt securities with unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") at December 31, 2019 and accordingly, there was no impact upon adoption of the new standard. As it relates to the Company's other accounts receivable that are subject to CECL, the effect of adoption was immaterial. 
 The Company reflected the effect of adoption of CECL by its equity method investee, CLNC, through an adjustment to decrease beginning retained earnings by approximately $ 8.5 million on January 1, 2020, representing the Company's share of CLNC's cumulative effect adjustment. 
 Fair Value Disclosures 
 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements . The ASU requires new disclosures of changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at balance sheet date, as well as the range and weighted average or other quantitative information, if more relevant, of significant unobservable inputs for recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair values. Certain previously required disclosures are eliminated, specifically around the valuation process required for Level 3 fair values, policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, as well as amounts and reason for transfers between Levels 1 and 2. Additionally, the new guidance clarifies or modifies certain existing disclosures, including clarifying that information about measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair values should be as of reporting date and requiring disclosures of the timing of liquidity events for investments measured under the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient, but only if the investee has communicated this information or has announced it publicly. The provisions on new disclosures and modification to disclosure of Level 3 measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively, while all other provisions are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. 
 Related Party Guidance for VIEs 
 In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities . The ASU amends the VIE guidance to align, throughout the VIE model, the evaluation of a decision maker's or service provider's fee held by a related party, whether or not they are under common control, in both the assessment of whether a fee qualifies as a variable interest and the determination of a primary beneficiary. Specifically, a decision maker or service provider considers interests in a VIE held by a related party under common control only if it has a direct interest in that related party under common control and considers such indirect interest in the VIE held by the related party under common control on a proportionate basis, rather than in its entirety. Transition is generally on a modified retrospective basis, with the cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-17 on January 1, 2020, with no transitional impact upon adoption. 
 Reference Rate Reform 
 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . The guidance in Topic 848 is optional, the election of which provides temporary relief for the accounting effects on contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the transition from interbank offered rates (such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")) that are expected to be discontinued by the end of 2021 to alternative reference rates (such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")). Modification of contractual terms to effect the reference rate reform transition on debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts is eligible for relief from modification accounting and accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. Topic 848 is effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022, and may be applied retrospectively to January 1, 2020. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and assessment of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives, which preserves existing derivative treatment and presentation. The Company may elect other practical expedients or exceptions as applicable over time as reference rate reform activities occur. 
 Future Application of Accounting Standards 
 Income Tax Accounting 
 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes . The ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the guidance for more consistent application. The simplifications relate to intraperiod tax allocations when there is a loss in continuing operations and a gain outside of continuing operations, accounting for tax law or tax rate changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods, recognition of deferred tax liability for outside basis 
 
 16 

 Table of Contents 
 
 difference when investment ownership changes, and accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The ASU also provides new guidance that clarifies the accounting for transactions resulting in a step-up in tax basis of goodwill, among other changes. Transition is generally prospective, other than the provision related to outside basis difference which is on a modified retrospective basis with cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings at the beginning of the period adopted, and franchise tax provision which is on either full or modified retrospective. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted in an interim period, to be applied to all provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. 
 Accounting for Certain Equity Investments 
 In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321 Investments—Equity Securities, Topic 323—Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815—Derivatives and Hedging . The ASU clarifies that if as a result of an observable transaction, an equity investment under the measurement alternative is transitioned into equity method and vice versa, an equity method investment is transitioned into measurement alternative, the investment is to be remeasured immediately before and after the transaction, respectively. The ASU also clarifies that certain forward contracts or purchased options to acquire equity securities that are not deemed to be derivatives or in-substance common stock will generally be measured using the fair value principles of ASC 321 before settlement or exercise, and that an entity should not be considering how it will account for the resulting investments upon eventual settlement or exercise. ASU No. 2020-01 is to be applied prospectively, effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. 
 Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on Entity's Own Equity 
 In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity . The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. 
 With respect to convertible instruments, under the new guidance, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for wholly as debt, and convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock, that is, as a single unit of account, except for (1) a convertible instrument that contains features requiring bifurcation as a derivative under Topic 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument that was issued at a substantial premium. Expanded disclosures are required, including, but not limited to, the terms and features of convertible instruments, and information about events, conditions, and circumstances that could affect assessment of the amount or timing of future cash flows related to those instruments. 
 With respect to contracts on an entity's own equity, one of the requirements prescribed by the new guidance is to account for freestanding contracts on an entity’s own equity that do not qualify as equity under Subtopic ASC 815-40 at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, irrespective of whether such contracts meet the definition of a derivative in Topic 815. 
 The ASU also amends certain guidance on the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the new guidance (1) requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments (the treasury stock method is no longer available), and (2) removes the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for contracts that may be settled in cash or stock. 
 Upon adoption, a one-time election may be made to apply the fair value option for any liability-classified financial instrument that is a convertible security. In the period of adoption, disclosure is required of (1) the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle in both the interim and annual period of change, and (2) earnings per share transition information about the effect of the change on affected per-share amounts. 
 Adoption of the new standard may be made either on a full or modified retrospective approach, with cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings under the latter. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted in interim periods beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. 
 
 3 . Business Combinations 
 DBH 
 On July 25, 2019, the Company acquired DBH in a combination of: (a) cash, a portion of which was deferred until the expiration of certain customary seller indemnification obligations and was paid in full in May 2020 (Note 20 ); and (b) issuance of 21,478,515 OP Units, which were measured based upon the closing price of the Company's class A common stock on July 24, 2019 of $ 5.21 per share. 
 
 17 

 Table of Contents 
 
 The Company acquired the fee streams but not the equity interests related to the six portfolio companies managed by DBH. The principals of DBH retained their equity investments, including general partner interests in existing DBH investment vehicles and in Digital Colony Partners fund (“DCP”), which was previously co-sponsored by the Company and DBH. 
 The acquisition is a strategic transaction that is expected to generate meaningful accretion in value to the Company through expansion of the digital real estate management platform by combining the industry sector knowledge, experience and relationships from the DBH team with the capital raising resources of the Company, as represented by the goodwill value. 
 The Company's acquisition of DBH included the remaining 50 % equity interest held by DBH in Digital Colony Management, LLC ("Digital Colony Manager"), previously an equity method joint venture with DBH, which manages DCP. Upon closing of the acquisition, the Company obtained a controlling interest in Digital Colony Manager and remeasured its existing 50 % interest at a fair value of $ 51.4 million . The full amount, representing the excess of fair value over carrying value of the Company's investment in Digital Colony Manager, was recognized in other gain on the Company's statement of operations, as the Company's carrying value of its investment in Digital Colony Manager prior to the business combination was nil . The fair value was based upon the value of 50 % of estimated future net cash flows from the DCP fund management contract, discounted at 8 % . 
 DataBank 
 On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired from third party investors a 20 % interest in DataBank, a portfolio company managed by DBH and invested in by the principals and senior professionals of DBH. The Company is deemed to have a controlling interest in DataBank as control over the operations of DataBank resides substantially with the Company. Consideration included the payment of cash to third parties for the Company’s interests in DataBank and the issuance of 612,072 OP Units to Mr. Ganzi and Benjamin Jenkins (the DBH principals) for incentive units owned by the DBH principals and allocable to the Company’s acquired interests, measured based upon the closing price of the Company's class A common stock on December 20, 2019 of $ 4.85 per share. The OP Units were issued to the principals of DBH who had previously received incentive units from DataBank, in exchange for certain of their incentive units such that the Company will not be subject to future carried interest payments to the DBH principals with respect to the Company's investment in DataBank (Note 20 ). The DBH principals otherwise retained their equity interests in DataBank. 
 Allocation of Consideration Transferred 
 The following table summarizes the consideration and allocation to assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests at acquisition. The estimated fair values and allocation of consideration are preliminary, based upon information available at the time of closing as the Company continues to evaluate underlying inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, these provisional values may be subject to adjustments during the measurement period, not to exceed one year, based upon new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the time of closing. 
 During the second quarter of 2020, certain measurement period adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation for DataBank, primarily (i) a reallocation of value to data center service contract intangible asset, (ii) changes in valuation and underlying assumptions pertaining to data center construction and market value of existing data center lease contracts, and (iii) the corresponding effect on deferred tax liabilities.

 • 
 Intangible assets acquired included primarily management contracts, investor relationships and trade name. 
 
 • 
 The fair value of management contracts, including the Company's 50 % interest in Digital Colony Manager, was estimated based upon estimated net cash flows generated from those contracts, discounted at 8 % , with remaining lives estimated between 3 and 10 years . 
 
 • 
 Investor relationships represent the fair value of potential fees, net of operating costs, to be generated from repeat DBH investors in future sponsored funds, discounted at 11.5 % , and potential carried interest discounted at 25 % . 
 
 • 
 The Digital Bridge trade name was valued using a relief-from-royalty method, based upon estimated savings from avoided royalty at a rate of 1 % on expected net income, discounted at 11.5 % , with an estimated useful life of 10 years . 
 
 • 
 Other liabilities assumed were primarily deferred revenues and deferred tax liabilities recognized upon acquisition, representing the tax effect on the book-to-tax basis difference associated with management contract intangibles. 
 
 DataBank 
 
 • 
 Real estate and lease intangibles of DataBank were measured based upon recent third party appraised values, allocated to tangible assets of land, building, construction in progress, data center infrastructure, as well as identified intangibles of in-place leases, above- and below-market leases, and tenant relationships. 
 
 • 
 The remaining intangible assets acquired include data center service contracts, customer relationships and trade name. The value of data center service contracts was estimated based upon net cash flows generated from these contracts. Customer relationships were valued as the incremental net income attributable to these relationships considering the projected net cash flows of the business with and without the customer relationships in place. The trade name of DataBank was valued based upon estimated savings from avoided royalty at a royalty rate of 2 % . 
 
 • 
 Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed primarily include right-of-use lease assets associated with leasehold data centers and corresponding lease liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities represent the tax effect on the book-to-tax basis difference related primarily to real estate assets arising from the transaction. 
 
 • 
 All assumed debt bears variable rates, with carrying values approximating fair values based upon market rates and spreads that prevailed at the time of acquisition.

 • 
 Noncontrolling interests in investment entities were valued based upon their proportionate share of net assets of DataBank at fair value. 
 
 The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests was recorded as goodwill assigned to the DataBank reporting unit within the digital segment. Goodwill represents the value of the business acquired not already captured in identifiable assets, such as the potential for future customers, synergies, revenue and profit growth, as well as industry knowledge, experience and relationships that the DataBank management team brings.

 Includes impairment of real estate intangibles of $ 2.3 million and $ 9.3 million and right-of-use asset on ground leases of $ 0.8 million and $ 13.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively. 
 
 Impairment of Real Estate Held for Sale 
 Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Real estate carried at fair value totaled $ 197.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $ 253.4 million at December 31, 2019 based upon impairments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 , respectively, generally representing Level 3 fair values. 
 Real estate held for sale that was written down was generally valued using either broker opinions of value, or a combination of market information, including third-party appraisals and indicative sale prices, adjusted as deemed appropriate by management to account for the inherent risk associated with specific properties. In all cases, fair value of real estate held for sale is reduced for estimated selling costs ranging from 1 % to 3 % . 
 In 2020, the Company also considered the impact of a global economic downturn as a result of COVID-19, specifically as it affects real estate values, and where appropriate, factored in a reduction in potential sales prices, which resulted in additional impairment on real estate held for sale in 2020. 
 Impairment of Real Estate Held for Investment 
 Real estate held for investment that was written down to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 had carrying values totaling $ 3.7 billion and $ 355.0 million , respectively, at the time of impairment, representing Level 3 fair values. 
 Impairment was driven by shortened holding period assumptions made in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, particularly in the hotel and healthcare portfolios. The shortened holding period assumption is attributable to both the Company's accelerated digital transformation , and the risk that the Company is unable to obtain accommodation from lenders on non-recourse mortgage debt that is in default or at risk of default . The Company's assessment considered various strategic and financial alternatives to maximize the value of its non-digital real estate assets, while also balancing the need to preserve liquidity and prioritize the growth of its digital business. A shortened holding period was an indicator of impairment as it decreased the amount of carrying value recoverable from future cash flows, which was further exacerbated by a decline in property operating performance and market values as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19 . 
 The Company compared the carrying values to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by these properties over their holding periods. In performing this analysis, the Company considered the likelihood of possible outcomes under various holding period scenarios by applying a probability-weighted approach to different holding periods. For hotel properties, the Company applied a range of reductions to near term cash flow projections to account for uncertainties due to COVID-19. For properties for which undiscounted expected net cash flows over their respective 
 
 21 

 Table of Contents 
 
 holding periods fell short of carrying values, the Company expects that the carrying value of these properties would likely not be recoverable. 
 Fair values were estimated for these properties based upon one or a combination of the following: (i) third party appraisals, (ii) broker opinions of value with discounts applied based upon management judgment, (iii) income capitalization approach, using net operating income for each property and applying capitalization rates between 10.0 % and 12.0 % ; or (iv) discounted cash flow analyses with terminal values determined using terminal capitalization rates between 7.0 % and 11.25 % , and discount rates between 8.5 % and 12.0 % . The Company considered the risk characteristics of each property in determining capitalization rates and where applicable, used higher capitalization rates or discount rates to reflect the inherent stress on real estate values in a deteriorating economic environment. Impairment was measured as the excess of carrying value over fair value for each of these properties. 
 As of June 30, 2020 , the Company believes that it has materially addressed overall recoverability in the value of its non-digital real estate assets, applying the Company's best estimates and assumptions at this time based upon external factors known to date and the Company's expected digital transformation timeline. If the extent and duration of the economic effects of COVID-19 negatively affect the Company's real estate operations and its ability to meet its non-recourse mortgage debt obligations beyond the Company's current projections, the estimates and assumptions currently applied by the Company may change, which may lead to further impairment of its non-digital real estate assets, in particular, its healthcare and hospitality assets, that could be material in the future. 
 Property Operating Income 
 Following the acquisition of DataBank in December 2019, lease income includes: (i) fixed lease payments for colocation rent, interconnection services and a committed amount of power in connection with contracted leased space; and (ii) variable payments for additional metered power reimbursements based upon usage at prevailing rates. 
 The Company also earns data center service revenue, primarily composed of cloud services, data storage, data protection, network services, software licensing, and other related information technology services, which are recognized as services are provided; and to a lesser extent, installation services that are recognized at a point in time upon completion of the installation and accompanying services. 
 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , components of property operating income are as follows, excluding amounts related to discontinued operations (Note 16 ).

 Lease Concessions Related to COVID-19 
 As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, a number of tenants failed to make rent payments or make timely payments, and some sought more flexible payment terms or rent concessions. Local governments in certain jurisdictions have implemented or are considering implementing programs that permit or require forbearance of rent payments by tenants affected by COVID-19. The Company is currently engaged with affected tenants on a case-by-case basis to evaluate and respond to the current environment. 
 For lease concessions resulting directly from the impact of COVID-19 that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee, for example, where total payments required by the modified contract will be substantially the same as or less than the original contract, the Company made a policy election to account for the concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed in the lease contracts, under a relief provided by the FASB. Under the relief, the concessions will not be treated as lease modifications that are accounted for over the remaining term of the respective leases, as the Company believes this would not accurately reflect the temporary economic effect of the concessions. Instead, (i) rent deferrals that meet the criteria will be treated as if no changes were made to the lease contract, with continued recognition of lease income and receivable 
 
 22 

 Table of Contents 
 
 under the original terms of the contract; and (ii) rent forgiveness that meets the criteria will be accounted for as variable lease payments in the affected periods. 
 The Company has agreed to provide the affected tenants primarily with a deferral of full or partial rent for two to three months , generally with deferred rent to be repaid in monthly installments over periods of four to 18 months . This resulted in an increase in receivables totaling $ 0.7 million as of June 30, 2020 . All lease income receivable, including straight-line rents, are subject to the Company's policy for evaluation of collectability based upon creditworthiness of the lessee. In certain instances, the Company has also agreed to rent forgiveness, totaling $ 0.6 million for full year 2020, of which $ 0.2 million relates to the six months ended June 30, 2020 . 
 
 5 . Loans Receivable 
 Effective January 1, 2020, the Company elected the fair value option for all of its outstanding loans receivable under a transitional relief upon adoption of ASC 326. The previous distinction of purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans and troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") are not applicable under fair value accounting. Refer to Note 12 for additional disclosures on loans receivable carried at fair value under the fair value option.

 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , there were no loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"), in which the Company provided borrowers, who are experiencing financial difficulties, with concessions in interest rates, payment terms or default waivers. 
 At December 31, 2019 , the Company had one existing TDR loan that was in maturity default with a carrying value before allowance for loan loss and interest receivable of $ 37.8 million and an allowance for loan loss of $ 37.8 million . The Company had no additional lending commitment on the TDR loan. 
 Non-PCI Impaired Loans 
 Non-PCI loans, excluding loans carried at fair value, are identified as impaired when it is no longer probable that interest or principal will be collected according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Non-PCI impaired loans include predominantly loans under nonaccrual, performing and nonperforming TDRs, as well as loans in maturity default.

 Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans 
 PCI loans are acquired loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration for which it is probable at acquisition that the Company will collect less than the contractually required payments. PCI loans are recorded at the initial investment in the loans and accreted to the estimated cash flows expected to be collected as measured at acquisition date. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected, measured as of acquisition date, over the estimated fair value represents the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The difference between contractually required payments as of the acquisition date and the cash flows expected to be collected, which represents the nonaccretable difference, is not recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. 
 Factors that most significantly affect estimates of cash flows expected to be collected, and accordingly the accretable yield, include: (i) estimate of the remaining life of acquired loans which may change the amount of future interest income; (ii) changes to prepayment assumptions; (iii) changes to collateral value assumptions for loans expected to foreclose; and (iv) changes in interest rates on variable rate loans. 
 There were no PCI loans acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

 Equity Investments 
 The Company's equity investments represent noncontrolling equity interests in various entities, including investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option. 
 Equity Method Investments 
 The Company owns a significant interest in CLNC, a publicly-traded REIT that it manages. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method as it exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of CLNC through a combination of its ownership interest, its role as the external manager and board representation, but does not control CLNC. The Company also owns equity method investments that are structured as joint ventures with one or more private funds or other investment vehicles managed by the Company, or with third party joint venture partners. These investment ventures are generally capitalized through equity contributions from the members and/or leveraged through various financing arrangements. The Company elected the fair value option to account for its interests in certain investment ventures and limited partnership interests in third party private equity funds (Note 12 ). 
 The liabilities of the equity method investment entities may only be settled using the assets of these entities and there is no recourse to the general credit of either the Company or the other investors for the obligations of these investment entities. Neither the Company nor the other investors are required to provide financial or other support in excess of their capital commitments. The Company’s exposure to the investment entities is limited to its equity method investment balance.

 Significant Sales of Equity Method Investments 
 In February 2020, the Company sold its equity investment in RXR Realty, LLC for net proceeds after taxes of $ 179.1 million , recording a gain of $ 106.1 million , which is included in equity method earnings. 
 Impairment of Equity Method Investments 
 The Company evaluates its equity method investments for OTTI at each reporting period and recorded impairment of $ 297.0 million and $ 247.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and $ 297.8 million and $ 250.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. Equity method investments that were written down to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 had carrying values totaling $ 388.8 million and $ 745.3 million , respectively, at the time of impairment. Impairment charges were generally determined using recoverable values for investments resolved or sold, or investment values based upon projected exit strategies, other than for CLNC as discussed below. 
 CLNC 
 Other-Than-Temporary Impairment ("OTTI") —In the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, the Company determined that its investment in CLNC was other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment charge, included in equity method losses, of $ 274.7 million and $ 227.9 million , respectively. In each case, the OTTI charge was measured as the excess of carrying value over market value of its investment in CLNC based upon CLNC's closing stock price on the last trading day of the quarter of $ 7.02 per share on June 30, 2020 and $ 15.50 per share on June 28, 2019. 
 At June 30, 2020 , the Company's investment in CLNC had a carrying value of $ 611.2 million prior to the OTTI charge, which was in excess of its market value of $ 336.5 million . In March and April 2020, there was a significant decrease in CLNC's stock price, which reflected the significant volatility in equity markets and the significant decline in equity prices, for mortgage REITs and across industries, due to the COVID-19 crisis. Along with other publicly traded mortgage REITs, CLNC has seen a rebound in its stock price in May and June 2020, but its stock continues to trade below pre-COVID-19 levels. As of June 30, 2020, there was not a large disparity between the Company's carrying value in CLNC and CLNC's internal estimated NAV. Nevertheless, with increasing uncertainty over the extent and duration of the COVID-19 crisis, and the timeline for a recovery in the U.S economy, the Company believes that it is unlikely that the CLNC stock will recover and trade closer to its NAV in the near term. Accordingly, the Company also believes that it would be unlikely that the shortfall in market value relative to carrying value of its investment in CLNC would recover in the near term. As a result, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on its investment in CLNC.

 Table of Contents 
 
 Basis Difference —The impairment charge in June 2019 resulted in a basis difference between the Company's carrying value of its investment in CLNC and the Company's proportionate share of CLNC's book value of equity. The impairment charge was applied to the Company's investment in CLNC as a whole and was not determined based on an impairment assessment of individual assets held by CLNC. In order to address this basis difference, the Company allocated the impairment charge on a relative fair value basis to investments identified by CLNC as non-strategic assets. Accordingly, for any future impairment charges taken by CLNC on these non-strategic assets, the Company's share thereof will be applied to reduce the basis difference and will not be recorded as an equity method loss until such time the basis difference associated with the respective underlying investments has been fully eliminated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company reduced its share of net loss from CLNC by $ 8.7 million and $ 27.9 million , respectively, representing the basis difference allocated to non-strategic assets realized by CLNC during these periods. The remaining basis difference at June 30, 2020 was $ 58.9 million . The impairment charge on its investment in CLNC in June 2020 will establish additional basis difference moving forward. 
 Other Equity Investments 
 Other equity investments consist of the following: 
 Marketable Equity Securities —These are primarily equity investment in a third party managed mutual fund and publicly traded equity securities held by a consolidated private open-end fund. The equity securities of the consolidated fund comprise listed stocks primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent, in Europe, and predominantly in the digital real estate and telecommunication sectors. 
 Investment Ventures —In April 2020, the Company recapitalized its co-investment venture, which holds common equity in the Albertsons supermarket chain, and reduced its interest in the venture from 50 % to 2 % , generating total proceeds of $ 148.5 million and realizing a gain of $ 60.7 million to the venture, of which the Company's share is 50 % . The interest recapitalized by the venture entitles the Company and its original co-investors to potential future profit allocation, which takes the form of an allocation of returns from the venture in excess of a minimum return threshold achieved by the new venture partner. The potential future profit allocation, of which the Company shares in 49 % , is assigned a fair value each reporting period assuming a liquidation of the venture as of the reporting date. Such fair value may fluctuate over time based upon achievement of the minimum return threshold. Additionally, a portion of the venture's interest in Albertsons was monetized in conjunction with Albertsons' recapitalization and subsequent initial public offering in June 2020. The Company's remaining equity interest in the venture is valued based upon the publicly traded stock price of Albertsons Companies, Inc. ("ACI"), adjusted for liquidity restrictions attributable to lock-up provisions on the venture's holdings in ACI. 
 Private Funds and Non-Traded REIT —This represents interests in a Company-sponsored private fund and a non-traded REIT, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. ("NorthStar Healthcare"), and limited partnership interest in a third party private fund sponsored by an equity method investee, for which the Company elected the NAV practical expedient (Note 12 ). 
 Investment Commitments 
 Investment Ventures— Pursuant to the operating agreements of certain unconsolidated ventures, the venture partners may be required to fund additional amounts for future investments, unfunded lending commitments, ordinary operating costs, guaranties or commitments of the venture entities. The Company also has lending commitments under ADC arrangements which are accounted for as equity method investments. At June 30, 2020 , the Company’s share of these commitments was $ 49.7 million . 
 Private Funds— At June 30, 2020 , the Company has unfunded commitments of $ 228.6 million to Company sponsored and third party sponsored funds. 
 Debt Securities 
 The Company's investment in debt securities is composed of available-for-sale N-Star CDO bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) held by a consolidated sponsored investment company which is currently in liquidation. The CMBS held by the sponsored investment company were sold and liquidating distributions were made subsequent to June 30, 2020 . 
 AFS Debt Securities 
 The N-Star CDO bonds are investment-grade subordinate bonds retained by NRF from its sponsored collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"), and CDO bonds originally issued by NRF that were subsequently repurchased by NRF at a discount. These CDOs are collateralized primarily by commercial real estate ("CRE") debt and CRE securities.

 There were no sales of N-Star CDO bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 . 
 At June 30, 2020 , the N-Star CDO bonds have contractual maturity ranging from approximately 17 to 21 years, and expected maturity of 7 months to 3.5 years based upon expected cash flows. 
 Impairment of AFS Debt Securities 
 AFS debt securities are considered to be impaired if their fair value is less than their amortized cost basis. 
 
 • 
 If the Company intends to sell or is more likely than not required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost, the entire impairment amount is recognized in earnings within other gain (loss) as a write-off of the amortized cost basis of the debt security. 
 
 • 
 If the Company does not intend to sell or is not more likely than not required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost: 
 
 • 
 Upon adoption of CECL effective January 1, 2020, the credit component of the loss is recognized in earnings within other gain (loss) as an allowance for credit loss, which may be subject to reversal for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss ("OCI"). The allowance is charged off against the amortized cost basis of the security if in a subsequent period, the Company intends to or is more likely than not required to sell the security, or if the Company deems the security to be uncollectible. 
 
 • 
 Prior to adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the Company evaluated if the decline in fair value is other than temporary, in which case, the credit loss component was recognized in earnings as a write-off of the amortized cost basis of the debt security that is not subject to subsequent reversal. The non-credit loss component was recognized in OCI. If the impairment is not other-than-temporary, the entire unrealized loss is recognized in OCI. 
 
 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company recorded allowance for credit loss in other loss of $ 21.4 million and $ 22.2 million , respectively. The credit loss was determined based upon an analysis of the present value of contractual cash flows expected to be collected from the underlying collateral as compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. At June 30, 2020 , there were no AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions without allowance for credit loss. 
 For both three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company recorded OTTI loss on AFS debt securities of $ 0.7 million in other loss. The losses were due to an adverse change in expected cash flows on N-Star CDO bonds. The Company believed that it was not likely that it would recover the full amortized cost on these securities, primarily based upon the performance and value of the underlying collateral. At December 31, 2019 , there were no AFS debt securities with unrealized loss in AOCI.

 In the first quarter of 2020, $ 51.0 million of goodwill was reassigned from the other investment management segment to the digital reportable segment to reflect the value associated with certain existing investment vehicles that were repurposed to execute an investment strategy focused on the digital sector, as well as a team of professionals dedicated to the strategy. The amount that was reassigned to the digital segment was determined based upon the fair value of this digital strategy platform relative to the overall other investment management goodwill balance prior to the reassignment.

 Impairment of Goodwill 
 Digital —The Company believes that the current shift and increased reliance on a digital economy positions the Company's digital real estate and digital investment management business for further growth. Therefore, the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment on goodwill in the digital reportable segment. 
 Other Investment Management —In connection with the review and preparation of the financial statements, the Company determined that the deterioration in economic conditions as a result of COVID-19 and the Company's acceleration of its digital transformation in the second quarter of 2020 represent indicators of impairment to its other investment management goodwill. Accordingly, the Company updated its quantitative test of the other investment management goodwill, which indicated that the carrying value of the other investment management reporting unit including goodwill at March 31, 2020 and at June 30, 2020 exceeded its estimated fair value at each balance sheet date. As a result, the Company recognized impairment loss on its other investment management goodwill of $ 79.0 million and $ 515.0 million in the first and second quarters of 2020, respectively. 
 Valuation of the other investment management reporting unit contemplated a transition from certain of the Company's non-digital management business to a digitally-focused investment management business beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019. As discussed in Note 1, the Company determined in the second quarter of 2020 that it would accelerate the transition and focus on growing its digital investment management business. Consequently, as of June 30, 2020 , the Company did not ascribe any value to future capital raising potential of the other investment management reporting unit, which represents the credit and opportunity fund management business, as it is no longer part of the Company's long-term strategy. Regarding the CLNC management contract, the COVID-19 crisis has caused the Company to postpone its plan to sell the contract. At June 30, 2020 , the contract is valued based upon its contractual termination value, which the Company believes approximates fair value. 
 As previously discussed, the acceleration of a digital strategy, combined with the negative economic effects of COVID-19 on property operations and market values in 2020, resulted in significant reduction in value of the Company's non-digital balance sheet. Such reduction in turn translated into a significant decrease in value of the other investment management reporting unit. The Company had previously considered the hypothetical value of its non-digital investment management business in a spinoff that would result in the Company becoming externally managed, and assigned a value

 Table of Contents 
 
 to internally managing the Company's non-digital balance sheet assets. Under current circumstances, the Company determined that as of June 30, 2020 , the hypothetical contract would have inconsequential, if any, remaining value to a market participant, and wrote off the value of internally managing its non-digital balance sheet. 
 The remaining balance of the goodwill in the other investment management segment of $ 81.6 million as of June 30, 2020 is expected to be fully written off in the near future when a runoff of the credit management business is substantially completed.

 Deferred Tax Asset 
 Valuation Allowance —During the six months ended June 30, 2020 , there was a net increase in valuation allowance of $ 42.4 million , primarily as a result of uncertainties in future realization of tax benefit on net operating losses in the hospitality and healthcare segments, taking into consideration the impairment of assets in these segments. At June 30, 2020 , total valuation allowance was $ 70.3 million . 
 Impact of CARES Act —The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. Among other things, the CARES Act temporarily removed the 80% limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset with a net operating loss (“NOL”) for 2019 and 2020, and allowed for a carryback of NOL generated in years 2018 through 2020 to the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of loss. The Company has approximately $ 28.1 million of NOL available for carryback under the CARES Act and recorded $ 3.3 million of income tax benefit to reflect the carryback. The Company also reclassified $ 8.8 million of deferred tax asset to current tax receivable

 Non-Recourse Investment-Level Debt in Default 
 The Company has investment-level debt, which is non-recourse to the Company, with aggregate outstanding principal of $ 7.5 billion in the hospitality, healthcare and other equity and debt segments at June 30, 2020 .

 Table of Contents 
 
 The majority of the defaulted debt was in the hospitality segment and the THL Hotel Portfolio in the other equity and debt segment for a combined total of $ 3.03 billion as a result of the economic fallout from COVID-19. The Company received notices of acceleration with respect to defaulted debt of $ 780.0 million in the hospitality segment and $ 842.7 million related to the THL Hotel Portfolio. The $ 780.0 million accelerated debt in the hospitality segment is secured by a portfolio of 48 hotels, and receivers have been or are expected to be appointed for all of these assets. In connection with the remaining defaulted hotel debt, the Company continues to be in active negotiations with the respective lenders or servicers to execute or extend forbearances, execute debt modifications, including extension of upcoming maturities in 2020, or make other arrangements, as appropriate. The remaining $ 482.4 million of debt in the hospitality segment was not in default. 
 Other defaulted debt is composed of $ 203.0 million in the healthcare segment and $ 51.7 million in the other equity and debt segment based on outstanding balance at June 30, 2020 ( $ 235.6 million in total across both segments at December 31, 2019 ), the majority of which was in default prior to the COVID-19 crisis. In August 2020, the Company indirectly conveyed the equity of certain of its healthcare borrower subsidiaries, comprising 36 assets in its senior housing operating portfolio and $ 157.9 million of the aforementioned defaulted healthcare debt (based on outstanding balance at June 30, 2020 ), to an affiliate of the lender, which released the Company from all rights and obligations with respect to those healthcare assets and corresponding debt. In connection with the remaining defaulted debt in the healthcare segment of $ 45.1 million and also in the other equity and debt segment, the Company is negotiating with its lenders to restructure the debt or make other arrangements, as appropriate. 
 There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in any of the negotiations with its lenders or servicers with respect to the aforementioned non-recourse investment level debt that is in default. 
 Corporate Credit Facility 
 On June 29, 2020, the OP entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2017 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the several lenders from time to time party thereto. 
 The Amendment modified the aggregate amount of revolving commitments available under the Credit Agreement to $ 500 million (previously $ 750 million ). The credit facility is scheduled to mature in January 2021 , with two 6 -month extension options (representing no change to the overall term due to the Amendment), each subject to a fee of 0.10 % of the commitment amount upon exercise. In the event that the Company exercises its first extension option, the aggregate amount of revolving commitments available under the Credit Agreement will be reduced to $ 400 million on March 31, 2021. 
 Pursuant to the Amendment, advances under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50 % (previously 2.25 % ), or a base rate determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate plus a margin of 1.50 % (previously 1.25 % ). In the event that the OP exercises the first extension option, the foregoing rates will be permanently increased by 0.25 % for periods from and after January 11, 2021. Unused amounts under the credit facility accrue a per annum commitment fee of 0.35 % . 
 The maximum amount available to be drawn at any time under the credit facility is limited by a borrowing base of certain investment assets, with the valuation of such investment assets generally determined according to a percentage of adjusted net book value or a multiple of base management fee EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). 
 In connection with the Amendment, the Company paid down $ 200 million of the $ 600 million previously drawn and outstanding on the credit facility and in July 2020, fully repaid all outstanding amounts. As of the date of this filing, the full $ 500 million is available to be drawn under the facility. 
 The Amendment provided for modifications to the financial covenants and the borrowing base including, among other things: exclusion of certain non-recourse debt and related assets in the calculation of certain financial ratios (such assets, the “Specified Excluded Assets”), exclusion of EBITDA and fixed charges of Specified Excluded Assets in the calculation of the OP’s fixed charge coverage ratio, which must exceed 1.3 to 1.0 , reduction of the minimum tangible net worth covenant from $ 4.55 billion to $ 1.74 billion , which must exclude the net worth of Specified Excluded Assets, and modification to the borrowing base to increase capacity for digital investment management and include digital infrastructure investments. As of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this filing, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants. 
 The Credit Agreement also contains various additional affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum tangible net worth, liquidity levels and financial ratios, as defined in the Credit Agreement. 
 
 36 

 Table of Contents 
 
 Further, as a result of modifications to the permitted investments and restricted payment provisions in the Amendment, during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Company is prohibited from, among other things, (i) making any investments other than (A) investments in digital infrastructure assets and (B) pre-existing obligations and protective investments in existing assets to preserve, administer or otherwise realize on such investment, (ii) repurchasing capital stock of the Company and (iii) paying dividends, other than for (A) paying dividends to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, (B) reducing the payment of income taxes and (C) paying dividends on the Company’s preferred equity. 
 Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement. As security for the advances under the Credit Agreement, the Company and some of its affiliates pledged their equity interests in certain subsidiaries through which the Company directly or indirectly owns substantially all of its assets. 
 The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to reasonable and customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the termination of the credit facility, accelerate the Company’s repayment obligations, in certain cases limit the Company’s ability to make distributions, and allow the lenders to exercise all rights and remedies available to them with respect to the collateral. There have been no events of default since the inception of the credit facility.

 The conversion or exchange rate for convertible and exchangeable senior notes is subject to periodic adjustments to reflect the carried-forward adjustments relating to common stock splits, reverse stock splits, common stock adjustments in connection with spin-offs and cumulative cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock since the issuance of the convertible and exchangeable senior notes. The conversion or exchange ratios are presented in shares of common stock per $ 1,000 principal of each convertible or exchangeable note. 
 
 The convertible and exchangeable senior notes mature on their respective due dates, unless redeemed, repurchased or exchanged prior to such date in accordance with the terms of their respective governing documents. The convertible and exchangeable senior notes are redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100 % of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. 
 The Company may redeem the convertible notes for cash at its option at any time on or after their respective redemption dates if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price of the convertible notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. 
 The exchangeable notes may be exchanged for cash, Colony Capital, Inc's common stock or a combination thereof, at the issuer's election, upon the occurrence of specified events, and at any time on or after their respective redemption dates, and on the second business day immediately preceding their maturity dates. The holders of the exchangeable notes have the right, at their option, to require the issuer to repurchase the exchangeable notes for cash on certain specific dates in accordance with the terms of their respective governing documents. 
 Issuance of Exchangeable Notes and Repurchase of Convertible Notes 
 In July 2020, the OP issued $ 300.0 million of exchangeable notes with maturity in July 2025, bearing interest at 5.75 % per annum, and exchangeable into shares of the Company's class A common stock at an initial exchange rate 
 
 37 

 Table of Contents 
 
 equal to 434.7826 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $ 2.30 per share. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Net proceeds from this issuance, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, were $ 291.0 million , which were applied to partially repurchase $ 289.7 million of the outstanding principal of the 3.875 % convertible notes for total purchase price of $ 289.2 million , including accrued and unpaid interest. 
 Secured Debt 
 These are primarily investment level financing, which are non-recourse to the Company, and secured by underlying commercial real estate and mortgage loans receivable. 
 Junior Subordinated Debt 
 A subsidiary of the Company (the “Issuer”) assumed certain junior subordinated debt through the Merger at fair value. Prior to the Merger, subsidiaries of NRF, which were formed as statutory trusts, NorthStar Realty Finance Trust I through VIII (the “Trusts”), issued trust preferred securities ("TruPS") in private placement offerings. The sole assets of the Trusts consist of a like amount of junior subordinated notes issued by NRF at the time of the offerings (the "Junior Notes"). As Colony Capital, Inc. and its operating company, Colony Capital Operating Company, LLC, are not issuers of the junior subordinated debt, neither are obligors nor guarantors on the junior subordinated debt and TruPS. 
 The Issuer may redeem the Junior Notes at par, in whole or in part, for cash, after five years . To the extent the Issuer redeems the Junior Notes, the Trusts are required to redeem a corresponding amount of TruPS. The ability of the Trusts to pay dividends depends on the receipt of interest payments on the Junior Notes. The Issuer has the right, pursuant to certain qualifications and covenants, to defer payments of interest on the Junior Notes issued to NorthStar Realty Finance Trust I through III for up to six consecutive quarters. If payment of interest on the Junior Notes is deferred, the Trusts will defer the quarterly distributions on the TruPS for a corresponding period. Additional interest accrues on deferred payments at the annual rate payable on the Junior Notes, compounded quarterly. 
 
 11 . Derivatives 
 The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative instruments to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and cash payments, the values of which are driven by interest rates, principally relating to the Company’s investments and borrowings. Additionally, the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign interest rates and exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative instruments to protect the value or fix certain of these foreign denominated amounts in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. Derivative instruments used in the Company’s risk management activities may be designated as qualifying hedge accounting relationships (“designated hedges”) or otherwise used for economic hedging purposes (“non-designated hedges”).

 The Company’s foreign denominated net investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures were € 491.8 million and £ 267.6 million , or a total of $ 0.9 billion at June 30, 2020 , and € 517.9 million and £ 275.5 million , or a total of $ 0.9 billion at December 31, 2019 . 
 The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure of certain investments in foreign subsidiaries or equity method joint ventures, with notional amounts and termination dates based upon the anticipated return of capital from the investments. Prior to the second quarter of 2020, the Company utilized primarily (i) forward contracts whereby the Company agreed to sell an amount of foreign currency for an agreed upon amount of U.S. dollars and (ii) costless collars consisting of caps and floors, which consisted of a combination of currency options with single date expirations. Both types of hedging strategies were designated as net investment hedges. 
 During the second quarter of 2020, the Company unwound all of its existing foreign currency hedges and entered into foreign currency put options with upfront premiums whereby the Company gains protection against foreign currency weakening below a specified level. The put options are set to expire in increments according to the Company's expected monetization timeframe of the hedged investments, but the notional amounts are not identifiable to specific investments. Accordingly, the put options are not designated for hedge accounting purposes. 
 Designated Net Investment Hedges 
 Release of AOCI related to net investment hedges occurs upon losing a controlling financial interest in an investment or obtaining control over an equity method investment. Upon sale, complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign subsidiary, or partial sale of an equity method investment, the gain or loss on the related net investment hedge is reclassified from AOCI to other gain (loss) as summarized below.

 Forward Contracts and Performance Swaps 
 The Company has an equity investment in a third party managed real estate mutual fund, accounted for as marketable equity securities carried at fair value. The Company had previously entered into a series of forward contracts on its shares in the mutual fund in an aggregate notional amount of $ 100 million , equal to its initial investment in the fund, and concurrently, entered into a series of swap contracts with the same counterparty to pay the return of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Total Return Index. The Company settled the forwards and swaps in cash upon expiration in January 2020, realizing a gain of $ 5.8 million . In January 2020, the Company entered into another series of forward and swap contracts with similar terms to the previous transaction. The forward contracts have a combined notional amount of $ 119 million and expire in January 2021, to be settled in cash or through delivery of the mutual fund shares at the election of the Company. The new forward and swap transactions required an initial combined collateral deposit of $ 14.3 million , subject to daily net settlements in net fair value changes in excess of a predetermined threshold. 
 The forwards and swaps are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. All realized and unrealized gains (losses) are recorded in other gain (loss) as follows:

 Offsetting Assets and Liabilities 
 The Company enters into agreements subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with its derivative counterparties that allow the Company to offset the settlement of derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by derivative instrument type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset all derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. The Company has elected not to net derivative asset and liability positions, notwithstanding the conditions for right of offset may have been met, and presents derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets.

 12 . Fair Value 
 Recurring Fair Values 
 The table below presents a summary of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which the fair value option was elected, but excluding financial assets under the NAV practical expedient, categorized into the three tier fair value hierarchy that is prioritized based upon the level of transparency in inputs used in the valuation techniques, as follows: 
 Level 1 —Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
 Level 2 —Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in non-active markets, or valuation techniques utilizing inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable data directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. 
 Level 3 —At least one assumption or input is unobservable and it is significant to the fair value measurement, requiring significant management judgment or estimate.

 Marketable Equity Securities 
 Marketable equity securities consist primarily of investment in a third party managed mutual fund and equity securities held by a consolidated fund. These marketable equity securities are valued based on listed prices in active markets and classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. 
 Debt Securities 
 N-Star CDO bonds—Fair value of N-Star CDO bonds are determined internally based on recent trades, if any with such securitizations, the Company's knowledge of the underlying collateral and are determined using an internal price interpolated based on third party prices of the senior N-Star CDO bonds of the respective CDOs. All N-Star CDO bonds are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 
 CMBS of consolidated fund—Fair value is determined based on broker quotes or third party pricing services, classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 
 Derivatives 
 Derivative instruments consist of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts that are generally traded over-the-counter, and are valued using a third-party service provider, except for exchange traded futures contracts which are Level 1 fair values. Quotations on over-the-counter derivatives are not adjusted and are generally valued using observable inputs such as contractual cash flows, yield curve, foreign currency rates and credit spreads, and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although credit valuation adjustments, such as the risk of default, rely on Level 3 inputs, these inputs are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 
 Other Liabilities — Contingent Consideration for THL Hotel Portfolio 
 In connection with the consensual foreclosure in July 2017 of a portfolio of limited service hotels ("THL Hotel Portfolio"), contingent consideration is payable to the former preferred equity holder of the borrower in an amount up to $ 13.0 million based upon the performance of the THL Hotel Portfolio, subject to meeting certain repayment and return thresholds to the Company and certain investment vehicles managed by the Company. The contingent consideration is measured based upon the probability of the former preferred equity holder receiving such payment, classified as Level 3 fair value. At June 30, 2020 , the contingent consideration liability was determined to have zero value as it was no longer probable that such payment would be made following the adverse effect of COVID-19 on the operations and performance

 of the THL Hotel Portfolio. The liability, valued at $ 9.3 million at December 31, 2019 , was written off in the second quarter of 2020 as a gain, recorded in other gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations. 
 Other Liabilities — Settlement Liability 
 As discussed in Note 1 , in connection with the cooperation agreement entered into with Blackwells in March 2020, the Company and Blackwells contemporaneously entered into a joint venture arrangement for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company's class A common stock. Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company contributed its class A common stock, valued at $ 14.7 million by the venture, and Blackwells contributed $ 1.47 million of cash that was then distributed to the Company, resulting in a net capital contribution of $ 13.23 million by the Company in the venture. All of the class A common stock held in the venture had been repurchased by the Company in March 2020 (Note 14 ). Blackwells may cause the arrangement to be dissolved and all underlying assets distributed at any time, and the Company may do the same after three years. Distributions to be made through the joint venture arrangement effectively represent a settlement of the proxy contest with Blackwells. At the inception of the arrangement, the fair value of future distributions to Blackwells was estimated at $3.9 million, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and as a settlement loss on the consolidated statement of operations, along with $1.2 million reimbursement of legal costs to Blackwells in March 2020 . 
 The settlement liability is a fair value measure of the disproportionate allocation of future profits distribution to Blackwells pursuant to the joint venture arrangement. Such profits will be derived from dividend payments and any appreciation in value of the Company's class A common stock, allocated between the Company and Blackwells based upon specified return hurdles. The profits distribution is payable in cash, the Company's class A common stock or a combination of both at the Company's election. The settlement liability, classified as a Level 3 fair value, is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral premise, assuming that the final distribution occurs at the end of the third year in March 2023, and is remeasured at each reporting period. At June 30, 2020 , the settlement liability was valued at $ 9.1 million , applying the following assumptions: (a) expected volatility of the Company's class A common stock of 72.6 % based upon a combination of historical and implied volatility of the Company's class A common stock; (b) zero expected dividend yield given the Company's suspension of its common stock dividend for the second quarter of 2020; and (c) risk free rate of 0.17 % per annum based upon a compounded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield. The settlement liability increased $ 5.3 million from inception to June 30, 2020 , recorded as other loss on the consolidated statement of operations. 
 Fair Value Option 
 Loans Receivable 
 Effective January 1, 2020, the Company elected the fair value option for all of its outstanding loans receivable. Loans receivable consist of mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and non-mortgage loans. Fair values were determined by comparing the current yield to the estimated yield of newly originated loans with similar credit risk or the market yield at which a third party might expect to purchase such investment; or based on discounted cash flow projections of principal and interest expected to be collected, which includes, but is not limited to, consideration of the financial standing of the borrower or sponsor as well as operating results and/or value of the underlying collateral. 
 Equity Method Investments 
 Equity method investments for which fair value option was elected are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are determined using either discounted cash flow models based on expected future cash flows for income and realization events of the underlying assets, applying revenue multiples, based on transaction price for recently acquired investments, or pending or comparable market sales price on an investment, as applicable. In valuing the Company's investment in third party private equity funds, the Company considers cash flows provided by the general partners of the funds and the implied yields of the funds. The Company has not elected the practical expedient to measure the fair value of its investments in these private equity funds using NAV of the underlying funds. Fair value of equity method investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, unless investments are valued based on contracted sales prices which are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value of equity method investments under the fair value option are recorded in equity method earnings.

 The Company's interests in the private funds are not subject to redemption, with distributions to be received through liquidation of underlying investments of the funds. The private funds each have eight and ten year lives, respectively, at inception, both of which may be extended in one year increments up to two years . 
 No secondary market currently exists for shares of the non-traded REIT and the Company does not currently expect to seek liquidity of its shares of the non-traded REIT. Subject to then-existing market conditions, the board of directors of the non-traded REIT, along with the Company, as sponsor, expects to consider alternatives for providing liquidity to the non-traded REIT shares beginning five years from completion of the offering stage in January 2016, but with no definitive date by which it must do so. In addition, the Company has agreed that any right to have its shares redeemed is subordinated to third party stockholders for so long as its advisory agreement is in effect.

 Nonrecurring Fair Values 
 The Company measures fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting for assets held for sale or otherwise, write-down of asset values due to impairment. Impairments are discussed in Note 4 for real estate, Note 6 for equity method investments, and Note 7 for investment management intangible assets, including goodwill. 
 Fair Value Information on Financial Instruments Reported at Cost 
 Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments reported at amortized cost are presented below. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, due from and to affiliates, interest payable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature and credit risk, if any, are negligible. There are no loans receivable carried at amortized cost in 2020 as the Company elected the fair value option for all loans receivable effective January 1, 2020.

 Debt —Fair value of convertible notes and exchangeable notes were determined using the last trade price in active markets and unadjusted quoted prices in non-active market, respectively. Fair values of the corporate credit facility and secured debt were estimated by discounting expected future cash outlays at interest rates available to the Company for similar instruments, which fair values approximated carrying value for floating rate debt with credit spreads that approximate market rates. Fair value of junior subordinated debt was based on unadjusted quotations from a third party valuation firm, with such quotes derived using a combination of internal valuation models, comparable trades in non-active markets and other market data. As a reaction to the COVID-19 crisis, the credit market has generally stalled refinancing for most product types except at the lowest leverage levels. While it is difficult to gauge market rates across the Company's portfolio for specific assets, fair value of debt associated with hospitality and healthcare assets presented as of June 30, 2020 incorporate a premium to nominal contractual rates to reflect the increased risk and lack of available financing in the current environment. 
 Other —Carrying values of cash, due from and to affiliates, other receivables and other payables generally approximate fair value due to their short term nature, and credit risk, if any, are negligible. 
 
 13 . Variable Interest Entities 
 A VIE is an entity that lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The following discusses the Company's involvement with VIEs where the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIEs or where the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the VIEs. 
 
 46 

 Table of Contents 
 
 Operating Subsidiary 
 The Company's operating subsidiary, OP, is a limited liability company that has governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. The Company holds the majority of membership interest in OP, acts as the managing member of OP and exercises full responsibility, discretion and control over the day-to-day management of OP. The noncontrolling interests in OP do not have substantive liquidation rights, substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest members (including by such a member unilaterally). The absence of such rights, which represent voting rights in a limited partnership equivalent structure, would render OP to be a VIE. The Company, as managing member, has the power to direct the core activities of OP that most significantly affect OP's performance, and through its majority interest in OP, has both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of OP. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of OP and consolidates OP. As the Company conducts its business and holds its assets and liabilities through OP, the total assets and liabilities of OP represent substantially all of the total consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company. 
 Company-Sponsored Private Funds 
 The Company sponsors private funds and other investment vehicles as general partner for the purpose of providing investment management services in exchange for management fees and performance-based fees. These private funds are established as limited partnerships or equivalent structures. Limited partners of the private funds do not have either substantive liquidation rights, or substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of limited partners or by a single limited partner. Accordingly, the absence of such rights, which represent voting rights in a limited partnership, results in the private funds being considered VIEs. The nature of the Company's involvement with its sponsored funds comprise fee arrangements and equity interests. The fee arrangements are commensurate with the level of management services provided by the Company, and contain terms and conditions that are customary to similar at-market fee arrangements. 
 Consolidated Company-Sponsored Private Fund —The Company currently consolidates a sponsored private fund in which it has more than an insignificant equity interest in the fund as general partner. As a result, the Company is considered to be acting in the capacity of a principal of the sponsored private fund and is therefore the primary beneficiary of the fund. The Company’s exposure is limited to the value of its outstanding investment in the consolidated private fund of $ 17.4 million at June 30, 2020 and $ 18.5 million at December 31, 2019 . The Company, as general partner, is not obligated to provide any financial support to the consolidated private fund. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the consolidated private fund had total assets of $ 47.0 million and $ 24.7 million , respectively, and total liabilities of $ 0.6 million and $ 0.1 million , respectively. Assets and liabilities were made up primarily of marketable equity securities and unsettled trades. 
 Unconsolidated Company-Sponsored Private Funds —The Company does not consolidate its sponsored private funds where it has insignificant direct equity interests or capital commitments to these funds as general partner. The Company may invest alongside certain of its sponsored private funds through joint ventures between the Company and these funds, or the Company may have capital commitments to its sponsored private funds that are satisfied directly through the co-investment joint ventures as an affiliate of the general partner. In these instances, the co-investment joint ventures are consolidated by the Company. As the Company's direct equity interests in its sponsored private funds as general partner absorb insignificant variability, the Company is considered to be acting in the capacity of an agent of these funds and is therefore not the primary beneficiary of these funds. The Company accounts for its equity interests in unconsolidated sponsored private funds under the equity method. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of its investment in the unconsolidated sponsored private funds, totaling $ 179.7 million at June 30, 2020 and $ 137.0 million at December 31, 2019 , included within equity and debt investments and additionally at December 31, 2019 , within assets held for sale, on the consolidated balance sheets. 
 Securitizations 
 The Company previously securitized loans receivable and CRE debt securities using VIEs. Upon securitization, the Company had retained beneficial interests in the securitization vehicles, usually in the form of equity tranches or subordinate securities. The Company also acquired securities issued by securitization trusts that are VIEs. The securitization vehicles were structured as pass-through entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans and debt securities and distribute those payments to the holders of the notes, certificates or bonds issued by the securitization vehicles. The loans and debt securities were transferred into securitization vehicles such that these assets are restricted and legally isolated from the creditors of the Company, and therefore are not available to satisfy the Company's obligations but only the obligations of the securitization vehicles. The obligations of the securitization vehicles did not have any recourse to the general credit of the Company and its other subsidiaries.

 Table of Contents 
 
 Unconsolidated Securitizations —The Company does not consolidate the assets and liabilities of CDOs in which the Company has an interest but does not retain the collateral management function. NRF had previously delegated the collateral management rights for certain sponsored N-Star CDOs and third party-sponsored CDOs to a third party collateral manager or collateral manager delegate who is entitled to a percentage of the senior and subordinate collateral management fees. The Company continues to receive fees as named collateral manager or collateral manager delegate and retained administrative responsibilities. The Company determined that the fees paid to the third party collateral manager or collateral manager delegate represent a variable interest in the CDOs and that the third party is acting as a principal. The Company concluded that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these CDOs, which include but are not limited to, the ability to sell distressed collateral, and therefore the Company is not the primary beneficiary of such CDOs and does not consolidate these CDOs. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its investment in these unconsolidated CDOs, comprising CDO bonds, which aggregate to $ 24.7 million at June 30, 2020 and $ 46.0 million at December 31, 2019 . 
 Trusts 
 The Company, through the Merger, acquired the Trusts, wholly-owned subsidiaries of NRF formed as statutory trusts. The Trusts issued preferred securities in private placement offerings, and used the proceeds to purchase junior subordinated notes to evidence loans made to NRF (Note 10 ). The Company owns all of the common stock of the Trusts but does not consolidate the Trusts as the holders of the preferred securities issued by the Trusts are the primary beneficiaries of the Trusts. The Company accounts for its interest in the Trusts under the equity method and its maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment carrying value of $ 3.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , recorded in investments in unconsolidated ventures on the consolidated balance sheet. The junior subordinated notes are recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheet.

 All series of preferred stock are at parity with respect to dividends and distributions, including distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Dividends on Series G, H, I and J of preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears in January, April, July and October. Prior to their full redemption as discussed below, dividends on Series B and E preferred stock were payable in February, May, August and November. 
 Each series of preferred stock is redeemable on or after the earliest redemption date for that series at $ 25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) exclusively at the Company’s option. The redemption period for each series of preferred stock is subject to the Company’s right under limited circumstances to redeem the preferred stock earlier in order to preserve its qualification as a REIT or upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary relating to each series of preferred stock). 
 Preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, except if the Company fails to pay the preferred dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive). Under such circumstances, the preferred stock will be entitled to vote, together as a single class with any other series of parity stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, to elect two additional directors to the Company’s board of directors, until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set aside for payment. In addition, certain changes to the terms of any series of preferred stock cannot be made without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each such series of preferred stock voting separately as a class for each series of preferred stock. 
 In June 2020, the Board declared dividends on all series of preferred stock for the second quarter of 2020, which was paid in July 2020. In August 2020, the Board declared dividends on all series of preferred stock for the third quarter of 2020. 
 Redemption of Preferred Stock 
 The Company redeemed the remaining outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock and all outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock in December 2019, with settlement in January 2020, for $ 402.9 million , applying proceeds from the sale of its light industrial business. 
 All preferred stock redemptions were at $ 25.00 per share liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends prorated to their respective redemption dates. The excess or deficit of the $ 25.00 per share liquidation preference over the carrying value of the respective preferred stock redeemed results in a decrease or increase to net income attributable to common stockholders, respectively. 
 Common Stock 
 Except with respect to voting rights, class A common stock and class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably in dividends and distributions, and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Class A common stock has one vote per share and class B common stock has thirty-six and one-half votes per share. This gives the holders of class B common stock a right to vote that reflects the aggregate outstanding non-voting economic interest in the Company (in the form of OP Units) attributable to class B common stock holders and therefore, does not provide any disproportionate voting rights. Class B common stock was issued as consideration in the Company's acquisition in April 2015 of the investment management business and operations of its former manager, which was previously controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman. Each share of class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of class A common stock if the Executive Chairman or his beneficiaries directly or indirectly transfer beneficial ownership of class B common stock or OP Units held by them, other than to certain qualified transferees, which generally includes affiliates and employees. In addition, each holder of class B common stock has the right, at the holder’s option, to convert all or a portion of such holder’s class B common stock into an equal number of shares of class A common stock. 
 The Company suspended dividends on its class A common stock beginning with the second quarter of 2020. Under the terms of the Company's amended credit facility, the Company is restricted from paying common dividends other than

 to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT or to reduce income tax payments. The Company will continue to monitor its financial performance and liquidity position, and as economic conditions improve, the Company will reevaluate its dividend policy in consultation with its revolver lending group. 
 Common Stock Repurchases 
 During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company repurchased its class A common stock totaling 12,733,204 shares at a cost of $ 24.6 million and 652,311 shares at a cost of $ 3.2 million , respectively, or a weighted average price of $ 1.93 and $ 4.84 per share, respectively. 
 All share repurchases were made pursuant to a $ 300 million share repurchase program which expired in May 2020. The Company is restricted from repurchasing additional common shares, subject to certain exceptions, under the terms of the amended credit facility. 
 Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan 
 The Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP Plan”) provides existing common stockholders and other investors the opportunity to purchase shares (or additional shares, as applicable) of the Company's class A common stock by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on their shares of the Company's class A common stock or making optional cash purchases within specified parameters. The DRIP Plan involves the acquisition of the Company's class A common stock either in the open market, directly from the Company as newly issued common stock, or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties. There were no shares of class A common stock acquired under the DRIP Plan in the form of new issuances in 2020 and 2019 .

 Noncontrolling Interests in Investment Entities 
 These are interests in consolidated investment entities held by private investment funds managed by the Company, or by third party joint venture partners. 
 The Company's investment in its light industrial portfolio, prior to its sale in December 2019, was made alongside third party limited partners through a joint venture consolidated by the Company. The Company's ownership interest changed over time as result of capital contributions from or redemptions of limited partner interests. Limited partners were admitted or redeemed at the net asset value of the joint venture, based upon valuations determined by independent third parties, at the time of their contributions or redemptions. For the year ended December 31, 2019 , the difference between contributions or redemptions and the respective limited partners' share of the joint venture resulted in a net increase to additional paid-in capital of $ 12.4 million . 
 Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Company 
 Certain current and past employees of the Company directly or indirectly own interests in OP, presented as noncontrolling interests in the Operating Company. Noncontrolling interests in OP have the right to require OP to redeem part or all of such member’s OP Units for cash based on the market value of an equivalent number of shares of class A common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company's election as managing member of OP, through issuance of shares of class A common stock (registered or unregistered) on a one -for-one basis. At the end of each period, noncontrolling interests in OP is adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in OP at the end of the period, through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in OP. 
 Issuance of OP Units —The Company issued 21,478,515 OP Units in July 2019 and 612,072 OP Units in December 2019 as part of the consideration for the acquisitions of DBH, valued at $ 111.9 million , and DataBank, valued at $ 3.0 million , based upon the closing price of the Company's class A common stock on July 24, 2019 and December 20, 2019, respectively (Note 3 ). There were no OP Units issued in the six months ended June 30, 2020 . 
 Redemption of OP Units —The Company redeemed 184,395 OP Units during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 187,995 OP Units during the year ended December 31, 2019 , with the issuance of an equal number of shares of class A common stock on a one -for-one basis.

 Base Management Fees — The Company earns base management fees for the day-to-day operations and administration of its managed private funds, traded and non-traded REITs, and other investment vehicles, calculated as follows: 
 
 • 
 Private Funds and similar investment vehicles—generally (a) 1 % per annum of limited partners' net funded capital, or (b) 0.9 % to 1.75 % per annum of investors' committed capital during commitment or investment period and thereafter, of contributed or invested capital; 
 
 • 
 CLNC— 1.5 % per annum of CLNC's stockholders' equity (as defined in its management agreement), with a reduction in fee base to reflect CLNC's reduced book value effective in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019; 
 
 • 
 Non-Traded REIT— 1.5 % per annum of most recently published NAV (as may be subsequently adjusted for any special distribution) for NorthStar Healthcare, with $ 2.5 million per quarter paid in shares of NorthStar Healthcare common stock at a price per share equal to its most recently published NAV per share (as may be subsequently adjusted for any special distribution); and 
 
 • 
 NorthStar Realty Europe ("NRE")—prior to termination of the management contract in connection with the sale of NRE on September 30, 2019 , a variable fee of 1.5 % per annum of NRE's reported European Public Real Estate Association NAV ("EPRA NAV" as defined in its management agreement) for EPRA NAV up to and including $ 2.0 billion , and 1.25 % per annum for EPRA NAV amounts exceeding $ 2.0 billion . 
 
 Asset Management Fees —The Company earns asset management fees from its managed private funds, which represents a one-time fee upon closing of each investment, calculated as a fixed percentage, generally 0.5 % of the limited partners' net funded capital on each investment. 
 Incentive Fees —The Company may earn incentive fees from CLNC, and prior to its termination, from NRE, determined based on the performance of the investment vehicles subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles in accordance with the terms set out in their respective governing agreements. A portion of the incentive fees earned by the Company (generally 40 % to 50 % ) is allocable to senior management, investment professionals and certain other employees of the Company, included in carried interest and incentive fee compensation expense. There were no incentive fees earned in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 . 
 Other Fee Income —Other fees include service fees for information technology and operational support services and facilities to portfolio companies, advisory fees, and licensing fee on the Company's proprietary real estate index, a rules-based strategy that invests in common stock of U.S. REITs.

 19 . Equity-Based Compensation 
 The Colony Capital, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") provides for the grant of restricted stock, performance stock units ("PSUs"), Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") units, RSUs, deferred stock units ("DSUs"), options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, cash incentives and other equity-based awards to the Company's officers, directors (including non-employee directors), employees, co-employees, consultants or advisors of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary who provides services to the Company. Shares reserved for the issuance of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are subject to equitable adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, provided that this number automatically increases each January 1st by 2 % of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s class A common stock on the immediately preceding December 31st. At June 30, 2020 , an aggregate 64.1 million shares of the Company's class A common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. 
 Restricted Stock — Restricted stock awards relating to the Company's class A common stock are granted to senior executives, directors and certain employees, with a service condition only and are generally subject to annual time-based vesting in equal tranches over a three -year period. Restricted stock is entitled to dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock and such dividends are not forfeitable prior to vesting of the award. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the Company's class A common stock price on grant date and equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite three -year service period. 
 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") — RSUs relating to the Company's class A common stock are subject to a performance condition. Vesting of performance-based RSUs occur upon achievement of certain Company-specific metrics over a performance measurement period. Only vested RSUs are entitled to dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock. Fair value of RSUs are based on the Company's class A common stock price on grant date. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. 
 Performance Stock Units ("PSUs") — PSUs are granted to senior executives and certain employees, and are subject to both a service condition and market condition. Following the end of the measurement period for the PSUs, the recipients of PSUs who remain employed will vest in, and be issued a number of shares of the Company's class A common stock, ranging from 0 % to 200 % of the number of PSUs granted, to be determined based upon the performance of the Company's class A common stock either relative to that of a specified peer group or against a target stock price over a three -year measurement period (such measurement metric the "total shareholder return"). In addition, recipients of PSUs whose employment is terminated after the first anniversary of the PSU grant are eligible to vest in a portion of the PSU award following the end of the measurement period based on achievement of the total shareholder return metric otherwise applicable to the award. PSUs also contain dividend equivalent rights which entitle the recipients to a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the shares that are ultimately issued at the end of the measurement period. 
 Fair value of PSUs, including dividend equivalent rights, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral premise, with the following assumptions: 
 
 2020 PSU Grants 
 
 2019 PSU Grants 
 
 2018 PSU Grant (4) 
 
 Expected volatility of the Company's class A common stock (1) 
 
 34.1 %

 __________ 
 
 (1) 
 Based upon the Company's historical stock volatility or in combination with historical stock volatility of a specified peer group, or a combination of historical volatility and implied volatility on actively traded stock options of a specified peer group. 
 
 (2) 
 Based upon a combination of historical dividend yields and current annualized dividends. 
 
 (3) 
 Based upon the continuously compounded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield for the term coinciding with the remaining measurement period of the award as of valuation date. 
 
 (4) 
 Reflects assumptions applied in valuing the award upon modification in February 2019. 
 
 Fair value of PSU awards, excluding dividend equivalent rights, is recognized on a straight-line basis over their measurement period as compensation expense, and is not subject to reversal even if the market condition is not achieved. The dividend equivalent right is accounted for as a liability-classified award. The fair value of the dividend equivalent right is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the measurement period, and is subject to adjustment to fair value at each reporting period. 
 LTIP Units — LTIP units are units in the Operating Company that are designated as profits interests for federal income tax purposes. Unvested LTIP units do not accrue distributions. Each vested LTIP unit is convertible, at the election of the

 Table of Contents 
 
 holder (subject to capital account limitation), into one common OP Unit and upon conversion, subject to the redemption terms of OP Units (Note 15 ). 
 LTIP units issued to certain employees have a service condition only, and are valued based upon the Company's class A common stock price on grant date. 
 In connection with the acquisition of DBH in July 2019, the Company granted 10 million LTIP units to Mr. Ganzi, co-founder and CEO of DBH and CEO of the Company, subject to both a service condition and a market condition. The LTIP units will vest based upon achievement of the Company's class A common stock price closing at or above $ 10.00 over any 90 consecutive trading days prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Ganzi's continuous employment to the time of such vesting. Fair value of these LTIP units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral premise, with the following assumptions: 
 
 Expected volatility of the Company's class A common stock (1) 
 
 28.3 % 
 
 Expected dividend yield (2) 
 
 8.1 % 
 
 Risk-free rate (per annum) (3) 
 
 1.8 % 
 
 __________ 
 
 (1) 
 Based upon historical volatility of the Company's stock and those of a specified peer group. 
 
 (2) 
 Based upon the Company's most recently issued dividend prior to grant date and closing price of the Company's class A common stock on grant date. 
 
 (3) 
 Based upon the continuously compounded zero-coupon US Treasury yield for the term coinciding with the measurement period of the award as of valuation date. 
 
 Equity-based compensation cost on LTIP units is recognized on a straight-line basis over either the service period for awards with a service condition only, or over the derived service period for awards with both a service condition and a market condition. The derived service period is a service period that is inferred from the application of the simulation technique used in the valuation of the award, and represents the median of the terms in the simulation in which the market condition is satisfied. 
 Deferred Stock Units — Certain non-employee directors may elect to defer the receipt of annual base fees and/or restricted stock awards, and in lieu, receive awards of DSUs. DSUs awarded in lieu of annual base fees are fully vested on their grant date, while DSUs awarded in lieu of restricted stock awards vest one year from their grant date. DSUs are entitled to a dividend equivalent, in the form of additional DSUs based on dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock. Any such additional DSUs will also be credited with additional DSUs as cash dividends are paid, subject to the same restrictions and vesting conditions, if any. Upon separation of service from the Company, vested DSUs are to be settled in shares of the Company’s class A common stock. Fair value of DSUs are determined based on the price of the Company's class A common stock on grant date and recognized immediately if fully vested upon grant, or on a straight-line basis over the vesting period as equity based compensation expense and equity. 
 Equity-based compensation expense, excluding amounts related to the industrial segment in 2019 which is presented as discontinued operations (Note 16 ), is as follows:

 Fair value of equity awards that vested, determined based on their respective fair values at vesting date, was $ 3.3 million and $ 1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and $ 13.4 million and $ 9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. 
 At June 30, 2020 , aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for all unvested equity awards was $ 58.9 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years . 
 Awards Granted by Managed Companies 
 CLNC and NRE, both managed by the Company prior to termination of NRE's management agreement concurrent with the sale of NRE in September 2019, issued restricted stock and performance stock units to the Company and certain of the Company's employees (collectively, "managed company awards"). CLNC awards are primarily restricted stock grants that typically vest over a three -year period, subject to service conditions. NRE awards generally had similar terms as the Company's stock awards, except that the NRE performance stock units measured NRE's stock performance against either an absolute total shareholder return threshold or relative to the performance of a specified market index. Employees were entitled to receive shares of NRE common stock if service conditions and/or market conditions were met. Generally, the Company grants the managed company awards that it receives in its capacity as manager to its employees with substantially the same terms and service requirements. Such grants are made at the discretion of the Company, and the Company may consult with the board of directors or compensation committees of the respective managed companies as to final allocation of awards to its employees. 
 Managed company awards granted to the Company, pending grant by the Company to its employees, are recognized based upon their fair value at grant date as other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred revenue liability is amortized into other income as the awards vest to the Company. 
 Managed company awards granted to employees, either directly or through the Company, are recorded as other asset and other liability, and amortized on a straight-line basis as equity-based compensation expense and as other income, respectively, as the awards vest to the employees. The other asset and other liability associated with managed company awards granted to employees are subject to adjustment to fair value at each reporting period, with changes reflected in equity-based compensation and other income, respectively. 
 Equity-based compensation recognized related to managed company awards was $ 3.0 million and $ 3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and an expense reversal of $ 0.4 million and an expense of $ 6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. A corresponding amount is recognized in other income for managed company awards granted to employees (Note 20 ). At June 30, 2020 , aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for unvested managed company awards of CLNC was $ 4.3 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years .

 Recoverable Expenses— The Company pays organization and offering costs associated with the formation and capital raising of the retail companies and private funds sponsored by the Company, for which the Company recovers from these investment vehicles, up to specified thresholds for certain private funds and up to 1 % of proceeds expected to be raised from the offering of retail companies (excluding shares offered pursuant to distribution reinvestment plans). 
 NorthStar Healthcare Credit Facility— The Company has committed to provide NorthStar Healthcare with an unsecured revolving credit facility at market terms with a maximum principal amount of $ 35.0 million . The credit facility matures in December 2021 (extended to December 2022 in July 2020), with a six -month extension option. Advances under the credit facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus 3.5 % . There is no commitment fee for the unused portion of the facility. The credit facility is intended to provide additional liquidity to NorthStar Healthcare on an as needed basis. In April 2020, the credit facility was drawn for the full amount of $ 35.0 million and remained outstanding a t June 30, 2020 . There were no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2019 . 
 Liquidating Trust— As contemplated in the combination agreement, a certain loan receivable previously held by NorthStar I was not transferred to CLNC, for which the Company acquired a senior participation interest at par, and the remaining junior participation interest ("NorthStar I Retained Asset") was transferred to a liquidating trust. The Company entered into a management services agreement with the liquidating trust to service and assist in the potential sale of the NorthStar I Retained Asset, and to provide administrative services on such terms and conditions as approved by the trustees for a management fee of 1.25 % per annum of the net assets of the liquidating trust. Such fee amount is immaterial. 
 Acquisition of DBH and DataBank— In connection with the acquisition of DBH in July 2019, payment of a portion of the cash consideration to the principals of DBH, including Mr. Ganzi, who became employees or affiliate of the Company post-acquisition, was deferred until the expiration of certain customary seller indemnification obligations (Note 3 ). The entire deferred consideration of $ 32.5 million was paid in May 2020.

 In connection with the Company's acquisition in December 2019 of interests in DataBank from third parties (Note 3 ) , Mr. Ganzi and Mr. Jenkins , the Chairman of the Company’s digital realty platform, entered into voting agreements with the Company, which provide the Company with majority voting power over DataBank's board. T he Company took a series of steps to mitigate conflicts in the transaction, including receiving a fairness opinion on its purchase price from a nationally recognized third party valuation firm. Additionally, in exchange for incentive units owned by Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins allocable to the DataBank stake acquired by the Company, the Company issued OP Units with a value of $ 3 million , which are subject to a multi-year lockup. The value represents consideration paid to Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins by the Company for such incentive units in connection with its investment in DataBank, which was in addition to the cash consideration paid to third parties by the Company for its acquired interests in Databank. As a result, the Company will not be subject to future carried interest payments to the DBH principals with respect to the Company's investment in DataBank. In addition, the DataBank transaction was approved by the Company's board of directors. 
 Arrangements with Company-Sponsored Private Funds— The Company co-invests alongside its sponsored private funds through joint ventures between the Company and the sponsored private fund. These co-investment joint ventures are consolidated by the Company. The Company has capital commitments, as general partner, directly into the private funds and as an affiliate of the general partner, capital commitments satisfied through co-investment joint ventures. In connection with the Company's commitments as an affiliate of the general partner, the Company is allocated a proportionate share of the costs of the private funds such as financing and administrative costs. Such costs expensed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were immaterial and relate primarily to the Company's share of the fund's operating costs and deferred financing costs on borrowings of the fund. 
 Equity Awards of CLNC and NRE —As discussed in Note 19 , CLNC and NRE (prior to termination of the NRE management agreement) grant equity awards to the Company and certain of the Company's employees, either directly or indirectly through the Company, are recognized as a gross-up of equity-based compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding amount in other income. 
 Investment in Managed Investment Vehicles —Subject to the Company's related party policies and procedures, senior management, investment professionals and certain other employees may invest on a discretionary basis in investment vehicles sponsored by the Company, either directly in the vehicle or indirectly through the general partner entity. These investments are generally not subject to management fees, but otherwise bear their proportionate share of other operating expenses of the investment vehicles. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , such investments in consolidated investment vehicles and general partner entities totaled $ 7.9 million and $ 4.0 million , respectively, reflected in redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , their share of net income was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , their share was a net loss of $ 0.2 million and net income of $ 1.0 million , respectively. 
 Corporate Aircraft— The Company, through its subsidiary, Colony Capital Advisors, LLC, has entered into a time sharing agreement with Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., the Company's Executive Chairman, under which Mr. Barrack may use the Company’s aircraft for personal travel. Under this arrangement, Mr. Barrack pays the Company for personal usage based on the incremental cost to the Company, including direct and indirect variable costs, but in no case more than the maximum reimbursement permitted by the Federal Aviation Regulations under the agreement. Mr. Barrack has reimbursed the Company $ 0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 , and $ 0.4 million and $ 0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. There were no reimbursements in the three months ended June 30, 2020 . 
 
 21 . Commitments and Contingencies 
 Litigation and Claims 
 The Company may be involved in litigation and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2020 , the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. 
 
 22 . Segment Reporting 
 The Company's six reportable segments are as follows: 
 
 • 
 Digital Real Estate and Investment Management ("Digital")— The Company's digital segment is composed of balance sheet equity interests in digital infrastructure and real estate; and digital infrastructure and real estate investment management business. For digital investments on our balance sheet, these assets earn rental income from providing use of space and/or capacity in or on our digital assets through long-term leases, services and other agreements . In the digital investment management business, we earn management fees, generally based on the 
 
 59 

 Table of Contents 
 
 amount of assets or capital managed in investment vehicles, and have the potential to earn carried interest based on the performance of such investment vehicles subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles. 
 
 • 
 Healthcare— The Company's healthcare segment is composed of a diverse portfolio of senior housing, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings, and hospitals. The Company earns rental income from senior housing, skilled nursing facilities and hospital assets that are under net leases to single tenants/operators and from medical office buildings which are both single tenant and multi-tenant. In addition, certain of the Company's senior housing properties are managed by operators under a RIDEA (REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act) structure, which allows the Company to gain financial exposure to underlying operations of the facility in a tax efficient manner versus receiving contractual rent under a net lease arrangement. 
 
 • 
 Hospitality— The Company's hospitality segment is composed of primarily extended stay and select service hotels located mainly in major metropolitan and high-demand suburban markets in the U.S., with the majority affiliated with top hotel brands such as Marriott and Hilton. 
 
 • 
 CLNC — This segment is composed of our 36% interest in CLNC, an externally managed commercial real estate credit REIT. CLNC is focused on originating, acquiring, financing and managing a diversified commercial real estate portfolio, consisting primarily of senior mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, debt securities and net leased properties predominantly in the United States. 
 
 • 
 Other Equity and Debt— This segment is composed of a diversified group of non-digital real estate and real estate-related debt and equity investments, including investments for which the Company acts as a general partner and/or manager ("GP co-investments") and receives various forms of investment management economics on related third-party capital on such investments, other real estate equity and debt investments and other real estate related securities, among other holdings. Over time, the Company expects to monetize the bulk of its existing portfolio as it completes its digital evolution. 
 
 • 
 Other Investment Management— This segment, which is separate from the digital investment management business that resides in the digital segment, encompasses primarily the Company’s management of private real estate credit funds and related co-investment vehicles, CLNC, and NorthStar Healthcare, a public non-traded healthcare REIT. The Company earns management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed, and contractual incentive fees or potential carried interest based on the performance of the investment vehicles managed subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles . 
 
 Amounts not allocated to specific segments generally include corporate level cash and corresponding interest income, fixed assets for administrative use, corporate level financing and related interest expense, income and expense related to cost reimbursement arrangements with certain affiliates, costs in connection with unconsummated investments, compensation expense not directly attributable to reportable segments, corporate level administrative and overhead costs as well as corporate level transaction costs. 
 The chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of the business based on net income (loss) of each of the reportable segments. The various reportable segments generate distinct revenue streams, consisting of property operating income, interest income and fee income. Costs which are directly attributable, or otherwise can be subjected to a reasonable and systematic allocation, have been allocated to each of the reportable segments. 
 Selected Segment Results of Operations 
 The results of operations of the Company's digital reportable segment is derived from its equity method investments in the DCP fund and its manager beginning in 2018, the DBH investment management business beginning in July 2019 and the DataBank data center business beginning in December 2019. Effective March 31, 2020, the digital segment also includes operating results from interests in certain existing Colony investment vehicles that were repurposed to execute an investment strategy focused around the digital sector. 
 Beginning in 2020, the industrial segment no longer constitutes a reportable segment. In December 2019, the Company completed the sale of the light industrial portfolio and its related management platform, which represented the vast majority of the industrial segment. The Company continues to own the bulk industrial assets which remain held for sale. Current and prior period results of the industrial segment and the industrial investment management business which resides in the other investment management segment are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations (Note 16 ). 
 The following table presents selected results of operations of the Company's reportable segments.

 Path To Digital 
 Strategic Partnership in the Company's Digital Investment Management Business 
 On July 17, 2020, the Company formed a strategic partnership with affiliates of Wafra, Inc. (collectively, "Wafra"), a private investment firm and a global partner for alternative asset managers, in which Wafra made a minority investment in the Company's digital investment management business (the "Digital IM Business"). Wafra, through its investment, will participate in approximately 31.5 % of the net management fees and carried interest generated by the Digital IM Business. 
 
 63 

 Table of Contents 
 
 Wafra has agreed to assume certain of the Company's existing commitments made to DCP and to make commitments to the successor fund to DCP and to the Company’s initial digital credit fund, in an aggregate amount of up to $ 150.0 million . Wafra has also agreed to make commitments to the Company's future digital funds and investment vehicles on a pro rata basis with the Company based on Wafra's percentage interest in the Digital IM Business, subject to certain caps. 
 In addition, the Company issued Wafra five warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5 % (on a fully-diluted, post-transaction basis) of the Company’s class A common stock. Each warrant entitles Wafra to purchase up to 5,352,000 shares of the Company's class A common stock, with staggered strike prices between $ 2.43 and $ 6.00 for each warrant, exercisable until July 17, 2026. 
 Consideration paid by Wafra in exchange for its investment in the Digital IM Business and for the warrants is composed of: (i) cash consideration of $ 253.6 million paid at closing; and (ii) contingent consideration of approximately $ 29.9 million to be paid if the run-rate of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the digital investment management business, as defined, is equal to or greater than $ 72.0 million as of December 31, 2020. 
 Under certain circumstances following such time as the Digital IM Business comprises 90 % or more of the Company's assets, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the conversion of Wafra's interest into shares of the Company's class A common stock. There can be no assurances that such conversion would occur or on what terms and conditions such conversion would occur, including whether such conversion, if it did occur in the future, would have any adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s stock price, governance and other matters. 
 In connection with Wafra's investment, the Company also entered into an amended and restated restrictive covenant agreement with each of Marc Ganzi, the Company’s CEO, and Ben Jenkins, the chairman and chief investment officer of the Company’s digital segment, pursuant to which each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins agreed to certain enhanced non-solicitation provisions and the extension of the term of existing non-competition agreements. 
 In the event that certain post-closing regulatory approvals are not received within 12 months following the consummation of Wafra's investment (which period may be extended for up to an additional three months under certain circumstances), the Company has the right to cause Wafra’s investment in the Digital IM Business to be redeemed, in which case Wafra's carried interest participation rights will terminate and the warrants will be canceled. If such redemption right is exercised, Wafra will have a redemption right with respect to limited partnership commitments previously made in any of the digital funds or investment vehicles. 
 Wafra’s investment provides the Company with permanent capital to pursue strategic digital infrastructure investments and grow the Digital IM Business. 
 Investment in Hyperscale Data Centers 
 On July 22, 2020, the Company, alongside an approximate $ 1 billion of fee bearing third party capital that the Company raised, invested $ 1.21 billion for an approximate 80 % equity stake in Vantage Data Center Holdings, LLC's ("Vantage") portfolio of 12 stabilized hyperscale data centers in North America (the “Stabilized VDC” and the related transactions, the “Investment Transactions”). The Company's balance sheet investment is $ 185.1 million , representing a 12.3 % interest. The management team of Vantage will continue to manage the day-to-day operations of these data centers in exchange for management fees, and subject to certain approval rights held by the Company and the investor group in connection with material actions. 
 In connection with the Investment Transactions, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Marc Ganzi, the Company’s CEO, and Ben Jenkins, the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of the Company’s digital segment, and their respective affiliates, pursuant to which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins invested approximately $ 8 million and $ 2 million , respectively, in the Stabilized VDC alongside the Company and the co-investors on the same economic terms. Such amounts invested represented 40 % of carried interest payments received by each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins as a result of the Investment Transactions.

 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 
 The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov . 
 
 Overview 
 We are a global investment firm with a focus on becoming the leading digital real estate provider and funding source for the occupancy, infrastructure, equity and credit needs of the world’s mobile communications and data-driven companies. We are headquartered in Los Angeles, with key offices in Boca Raton, New York, Paris and London, and have over 350 employees across 20 locations in 12 countries. 
 We were organized on May 31, 2016 as a Maryland corporation, and were formed through a tri-party merger (the "Merger") among Colony Capital, Inc. ("Colony"), NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. ("NSAM") and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. ("NRF"). 
 We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (" REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We conduct our operations as a REIT, and generally are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our taxable income to stockholders and maintain qualification as a REIT, although we are subject to U.S. federal income tax on income earned through our taxable subsidiaries. We also operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the 1940 Act. 
 We conduct substantially all of our activities and hold substantially all of our assets and liabilities through our Operating Company. At June 30, 2020 , we owned 90% of the Operating Company, as its sole managing member. 
 Our Business 
 Our vision is to establish the Company as a leading owner, operator and investment manager of digital infrastructure and real estate. We are currently the only global REIT that owns, manages, and/or operates across all major infrastructure components of the digital ecosystem including data centers, cell towers, fiber networks and small cells . 
 To execute this vision, the Company combined with Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC (“DBH”) in July 2019. DBH is an investment manager dedicated to digital real estate and infrastructure, managing approximately $14 billion of assets under management (“AUM”) and approximately $7 billion of fee earning equity under management (“FEEUM”) across six separately capitalized and managed portfolio companies and the $4 billion Digital Colony Partners fund (“DCP”). As previously disclosed, Marc C. Ganzi, who co-founded DBH, became the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company effective July 1, 2020. In connection with Mr. Ganzi’s appointment as the Company’s CEO, on June 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") appointed Mr. Ganzi to the Board and to serve as President of the Company (in addition to his role as CEO), also effective as of July 1, 2020. Mr. Ganzi is poised to lead the Company’s strategic repositioning in becoming the leading platform for digital infrastructure and real estate. Further, the combination with DBH brings its world-class team of investment professionals and management of the DBH portfolio of high performing assets under the combined Digital Colony franchise. Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., who, prior to July 1, 2020, served as the Company’s CEO and President, continues to serve in his role as Executive Chairman of the Company and the Board. In addition, Jacky Wu was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective July 1, 2020. Mark M. Hedstrom, who prior to July 1, 2020 served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, continues to serve in his role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. 
 At June 30, 2020 , the Company has approximately $46 billion of assets under management, of which $36 billion is capital managed on behalf of third-party investors and the remainder represents investment interests on the Company's own balance sheet managed on behalf of its stockholders . With respect to investment interests, the Company owns (a) a 20% controlling interest in Data Bridge Holdings, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DataBank Holdings, Ltd. (collectively, "DataBank"), a leading provider of enterprise-class data center, cloud, and connectivity services, (b) a 70% interest in a portfolio of 357 healthcare properties, (c) a 97% interest in a portfolio of 157 hospitality properties, (d) a 36.4% interest in Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. (NYSE: CLNC), and (e) interests in various other equity and debt investments, including general partner (“GP”) interests in funds sponsored by the Company, commercial real estate equity and debt investments and other real estate related securities. The Company also owns and operates an investment management business with $16.3 billion of FEEUM, including $7.8 billion in digital real estate investments and the remainder in traditional commercial real estate debt and equity investments. The Company continues to operate its non-digital business units to maximize cash flows and value over time. 
 
 68 

 Table of Contents 
 
 The Company's six reportable segments are as follows: 
 
 • 
 Digital Real Estate and Investment Management ("Digital")— The Company's digital segment is composed of balance sheet equity interests in digital infrastructure and real estate; and digital infrastructure and real estate investment management business. For digital investments on our balance sheet, these assets earn rental income from providing use of space and/or capacity in or on our digital assets through long-term leases, services and other agreements . In the digital investment management business, we earn management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed in investment vehicles, and have the potential to earn carried interest based on the performance of such investment vehicles subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles. 
 
 • 
 Healthcare— The Company's healthcare segment is composed of a diverse portfolio of senior housing, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings, and hospitals. The Company earns rental income from senior housing, skilled nursing facilities and hospital assets that are under net leases to single tenants/operators and from medical office buildings which are both single tenant and multi-tenant. In addition, certain of the Company's senior housing properties are managed by operators under a RIDEA (REIT Investment Diversification and Empowerment Act) structure, which allows the Company to gain financial exposure to underlying operations of the facility in a tax efficient manner versus receiving contractual rent under a net lease arrangement. 
 
 • 
 Hospitality— The Company's hospitality segment is composed of primarily extended stay and select service hotels located mainly in major metropolitan and high-demand suburban markets in the U.S., with the majority affiliated with top hotel brands such as Marriott and Hilton. 
 
 • 
 CLNC — This segment is composed of our 36% interest in CLNC, an externally managed commercial real estate credit REIT. CLNC is focused on originating, acquiring, financing and managing a diversified commercial real estate portfolio, consisting primarily of senior mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, debt securities and net leased properties predominantly in the United States. 
 
 • 
 Other Equity and Debt— This segment is composed of a diversified group of non-digital real estate and real estate-related debt and equity investments, including investments for which the Company acts as a general partner and/or manager ("GP co-investments") and receives various forms of investment management economics on related third-party capital on such investments, other real estate equity and debt investments and other real estate related securities, among other holdings. Over time, the Company expects to monetize the bulk of its existing portfolio as it completes its digital evolution. 
 
 • 
 Other Investment Management— This segment, which is separate from the digital investment management business that resides in the digital segment, encompasses primarily the Company’s management of private real estate credit funds and related co-investment vehicles, CLNC, and NorthStar Healthcare, a public non-traded healthcare REIT. The Company earns management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed, and contractual incentive fees or potential carried interest based on the performance of the investment vehicles managed subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles . 
 
 Acceleration of Digital Transformation and COVID-19 Considerations 
 The world continues to face significant healthcare and economic challenges arising from the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, global pandemic. Efforts to address the pandemic, such as social distancing, closures or reduced capacity of retail and service outlets, hotels, factories and public venues, often mandated by governments, are having a significant impact on the global economy and financial markets across major industries, including many sectors of real estate. In particular, the Company's real estate investments in the hospitality, healthcare and retail sectors have experienced a myriad of challenges, including, but not limited to: significant declines in operating cash flows at the Company's hotel and healthcare properties, which in turn, affect their ability to meet debt service and covenant requirements on investment-level debt (non-recourse to the Company) and ability to refinance or extend upcoming maturities (Note 10); flexible lease payment terms sought by tenants; incremental property operating costs such as labor and supplies in response to COVID-19; potential payment defaults on the Company's loans receivable; and a distressed market affecting real estate values in general. Such adverse impact may continue well beyond the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the COVID-19 crisis may also lead to heightened risk of litigation at the investment and corporate level, with an ensuing increase in litigation and related costs. 
 The sharp decline and volatility in equity and debt markets, and the economic recession due to COVID-19 have adversely affected the valuation of certain of the Company's financial assets carried at fair value, and also resulted in impairment on certain non-financial assets. Such effects include the determination that the Company's equity method investment in CLNC was other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2020 (Note 6), decreases in fair value of debt 
 
 69 

 Table of Contents 
 
 securities (Note 6) and loans receivable (Note 12), and impairment of real estate assets in the Company's healthcare, hospitality and other equity and debt segments (Note 4). 
 Additionally, the COVID-19 crisis has reinforced the critical role and the resilience of the digital real estate and infrastructure sector in a global economy that is increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined that it would accelerate its shift to a digitally-focused strategy in order to better position the Company for growth. This digital transformation would require a rotation of the Company's non-digital assets into digital-focused investments. As a result, the Company shortened its assumptions of holding periods on its non-digital assets, in particular its hotel and healthcare assets, which significantly reduced the undiscounted future net cash flows to be generated by these assets below their carrying values at June 30, 2020. The shortfall in estimated future net cash flows from these assets was further exacerbated by the negative effects of COVID-19 on property operations and market values, as noted above. As a result, significant impairment was recognized in the second quarter of 2020 on the Company's hotel and healthcare assets. The acceleration of the Company's digital transformation and the overall reduction in value of the Company's non-digital balance sheet also caused a shortfall in the fair value of the Company's other investment management reporting unit over its carrying value, resulting in significant impairment to the other investment management goodwill in the second quarter of 2020 (Note 7). 
 The various impairment and fair value decreases collectively accounted for $2.6 billion of charges in the second quarter of 2020, in addition to an approximately $0.4 billion charge in the first quarter of 2020, of which $2.1 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, were attributable to the OP. These amounts are reflected within impairment loss, other loss and equity method losses on the statement of operations. 
 The Company believes that it has materially addressed overall recoverability in value across all of its non-digital assets as of June 30, 2020, applying the Company's best estimates and assumptions at this time based upon external factors known to date and the Company's expected digital transformation timeline. If the extent and duration of the economic effects of COVID-19 negatively affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations beyond the Company's current projections, the estimates and assumptions currently applied by the Company may change, which may lead to further impairment and fair value decreases in its non-digital assets that could be material in the future. 
 Cooperation Agreement with Blackwells Capital 
 In March 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Blackwells Capital LLC ("Blackwells"), a stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, the Company nominated Jeannie Diefenderfer for election to its board of directors (the "Board") at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on May 5, 2020, at which Ms. Diefenderfer was elected to the Board. In addition to withdrawing its previously submitted director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, Blackwells agreed to vote its and its affiliates shares of the Company’s stock in accordance with the Board’s voting recommendations on all proposals (including in favor of the Board’s director nominees), subject to certain limited exceptions, prior to the third anniversary of the agreement. Furthermore, Blackwells agreed to a standstill with respect to the Company until the expiration of the cooperation agreement in March 2030. 
 Contemporaneously, the Company and Blackwells entered into a joint venture arrangement for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of CLNY common stock. Distributions to be made through the joint venture arrangement effectively represent a settlement of the proxy contest with Blackwells. At the inception of the arrangement, the fair value of future distributions to Blackwells was estimated at $3.9 million, included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and as a settlement loss on the consolidated statement of operations, along with $1.2 million reimbursement of legal costs to Blackwells in March 2020 . The settlement liability is subject to remeasurement at the end of each quarter. Refer to Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for further description of the settlement liability. 
 
 Developments in 2020 
 During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and through this filing, significant developments affecting our business and results of operations included the following, in addition to the effects of COVID-19 as discussed throughout this Quarterly Report. 
 Liquidity 
 We addressed near-term corporate maturities and enhanced our long-term capital structure and liquidity profile as follows: 
 
 • 
 Amended our Credit Agreement in June 2020, which reduced aggregate revolving commitments from $750 million to $500 million and increased the interest rate on borrowings from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum. The amended terms provide for greater financial covenant flexibility and more borrowing base credit for

 digital investments. The credit facility is still scheduled to expire in January 2021, with two 6-month extension options. During the extension term(s), the interest rate would increase by 0.25%, and effective March 31, 2021, credit availability would be reduced to $400 million . 
 
 • 
 In July 2020, the OP issued $300.0 million of exchangeable notes maturing in July 2025 and bearing interest at 5.75% per annum. Net proceeds from this issuance of $291.0 million were applied to repurchase $289.7 million of the outstanding principal of the 3.875% convertible notes for total purchase price of $289.2 million , including accrued interest. This substantially addresses the January 2021 maturity of the 3.875% convertible notes, with $112.8 million principal outstanding as of the date of this filing, which we expect to address through cash on hand and/or proceeds from future asset monetizations. 
 
 Path To Digital 
 Strategic Partnership in Our Digital Investment Management Business 
 
 • 
 In July 2020, formed a strategic partnership with affiliates of Wafra, Inc. (collectively, "Wafra") in which Wafra made a minority investment representing an approximate 31.5% interest in our digital investment management business (the “Digital IM Business”). Wafra paid a consideration of $254 million for its investment in the Digital IM Business and for warrants issued by the Company to Wafra (assuming the consideration excludes the warrants, this implies an approximately $805 million valuation of the Digital IM Business). Wafra has agreed to assume certain of the Company's existing commitments made to DCP and to make commitments to the successor fund to DCP and to the Company’s initial digital credit fund, in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million. Wafra has also agreed to make commitments to the Company's future digital funds and investment vehicles on a pro rata basis with the Company based on Wafra's percentage interest in the Digital IM Business, subject to certain caps. Wafra's investment provides us with permanent capital to pursue strategic digital infrastructure investments and grow the Digital IM Business. Refer to Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Wafra transaction. 
 
 Investment in Hyperscale Data Centers 
 
 • 
 In July 2020, alongside an approximate $1 billion of fee bearing third party capital that we raised, we invested $1.21 billion for an approximate 80% equity stake in Vantage Data Center Holdings, LLC's ("Vantage") portfolio of 12 stabilized hyperscale data centers in North America. Our balance sheet investment is $185 million, which represents a 12.3% interest. This investment is our second significant balance sheet investment in a digital operating business and achieves our transformation goals on two fronts, that is the rotation of our balance sheet to digital assets and growing our digital investment management business. 
 
 Non-Digital Assets 
 
 • 
 In February 2020, sold our equity investment in RXR Realty, LLC for proceeds of $179 million , net of tax, recording a gain of $97 million , net of tax. 
 
 • 
 In April 2020, recapitalized a co-investment venture which holds common equity in the Albertsons supermarket chain, generating $72.7 million of proceeds to us and realizing our share of gain of $29.7 million. 
 
 • 
 Recognized approximately $3.0 billion ($2.4 billion attributable to OP) of impairment charges and unrealized fair value losses on our non-digital assets in the first six months of 2020, recorded in impairment loss, other losses and equity method losses on the statement of operations, primarily: 
 
 • 
 $1.78 billion ( $1.46 billion attributable to OP) impairment on real estate and related asset group, primarily hotel and healthcare properties, to reflect shortened holding periods on the assets, attributed primarily to the Company's accelerated digital transformation and further exacerbated by a decline in property operating performance and market values as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19 ; 
 
 • 
 $594 million impairment on goodwill in the other investment management segment, driven by acceleration of the Company's digital transformation and significant reduction in the value of its non-digital balance sheet assets ; 
 
 • 
 $275 million impairment on our equity investment in CLNC as the shortfall in market value over carrying value of our CLNC investment is not expected to recover in the near term; and 
 
 • 
 $281 million ($54 million attributable to OP) of net unrealized losses on loans receivable carried at fair value as recoverability is affected by increasing uncertainty and deterioration in the economic environment arising from the effects of COVID-19 .

 Results of Operations 
 The following table summarizes our results from continuing operations by reportable segment. 
 Beginning in 2020, the industrial segment no longer constitutes a reportable segment. In December 2019, the Company completed the sale of the light industrial portfolio and its related management platform, which represented the vast majority of the industrial segment. The Company continues to own the bulk industrial assets which remain held for sale. Current and prior period results of the industrial segment and the industrial investment management business which resides in the other investment management segment are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations (Note 16 ). Discontinued operations generated a net loss attributable to Colony Capital, Inc. of $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 , while generating net income attributable to Colony Capital, Inc. of $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

 Digital— Amounts represent income and related operating expenses from our DataBank subsidiary that was acquired in December 2019, primarily in connection with colocation rent and data center services. 
 Healthcare— Property operating income decreased $4.9 million , driven by sales of 25 net lease properties in 2019 and one in the first quarter of 2020 , and to a lesser extent, lower resident fee income as senior housing occupancy declined due to restrictions on new admissions in an effort to contain COVID-19. Property operating expenses increased $10.8 million , primarily due to $7.7 million of incremental costs incurred in our senior housing facilities in response to COVID-19. The incremental costs were abated by $1.6 million of government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund , which partially offset the decrease in property operating income. Refer to further discussion in " —Segment Results—Healthcare." 
 Hospitality— Property operating income and expense decreased $169.9 million and $81.0 million , respectively. On a same store basis (excluding the effects of ten select service hotels sold in 2019), property operating income and expense decreased $159.2 million, or 74%, and $73.1 million, or 53%, respectively. The decrease in income reflects the effects of COVID-19 with a significant decline in room demand with an average occupancy of 30.2% , a decrease of 62% compared to the same period last year. This was further compounded by lower average daily rate ("ADR"), resulting in revenue per available room, or RevPAR, falling 72% compared to the same period last year. Although we have taken various steps to minimize non-essential operating expenses during this time, the decrease in operating expenses, as expected, was less pronounced as we continue to incur fixed operating costs. Notwithstanding the overall negative results for the second quarter of 2020, operations have recovered from the trough in April 2020 and have since trended positively through July 2020. Refer to further discussion in " —Segment Results—Hospitality." 
 Other Equity and Debt— Property operating income and expenses decreased $62.2 million and $33.5 million , respectively, driven by sales of limited service hotels in our THL Hotel Portfolio, U.S. multi-tenant offices and other properties in our European portfolio, as well as the effects of COVID-19 on the operating results of our THL Hotel Portfolio and a hotel in Spain. 
 Interest Income 
 Interest income decreased $12.7 million , attributed primarily to loans placed on nonaccrual in the second quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 crisis has led to increased uncertainty over collectability. 
 Fee Income 
 Fee income is earned from the following sources:

 Total fee income increased $8.1 million resulting from: 
 
 • 
 net increase of $18.3 million in fees from institutional funds and investment vehicles, driven by $19.9 million of fees from DBH (50% of fees from DCP was recognized as equity method income prior to acquisition of DBH), which was acquired in July 2019, partially offset by decreases in fees from liquidating funds. 
 
 The increase in fees from institutional funds and investment vehicles was partially offset by: 
 
 •

 Net decrease in interest expense of $35.0 million is attributed to the following: 
 Digital— Amount represents interest expense on debt assumed from our DataBank subsidiary that was acquired in December 2019. 
 Healthcare— Interest expense was $22.4 million lower as a result of: (i) decrease in LIBOR on predominantly variable rate debt; (ii) interest expense recognized in the second quarter of 2019 from the write-off of debt discount in connection with a June 2019 refinancing; and (iii) debt repayment upon sale of non-core properties in 2019. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense recognized from amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the June 2019 refinancing. 
 Hospitality— Interest expense decreased $11.7 million , driven by a decline in LIBOR on predominantly variable rate debt on our hotel portfolio. 
 Other Equity and Debt— Interest expense decreased $11.5 million due to a decline in LIBOR and debt payoffs from sale of properties and resolution of loans receivable. 
 Corporate-level Debt— Interest expense increased $2.5 million as a result of writing off a portion of deferred financing costs on our corporate credit facility to reflect a reduction in the facility amount in June 2020, along with a higher average outstanding balance on the facility in 2020. This increase was partially offset by the effect of a decline in LIBOR on our junior subordinated debt and lower unused fees on our credit facility. 
 Investment and Servicing Expense 
 Investment and servicing costs were lower by $8.6 million , attributed primarily to costs related to refinancing of our healthcare debt in 2019 and lower hotel asset management and incentive fees in 2020, which corresponds to the decline in hotel revenues, partially offset by additional bad debt allowance on property level insurance receivable. 
 Depreciation and Amortization 
 Higher depreciation and amortization expense is attributed to real estate and intangible assets acquired from DataBank in December 2019 and DBH in July 2019, as well as capital improvements and fixed asset additions to our hotel properties that were completed throughout 2019 and beginning of 2020. These increases were partially offset by

 sales of non-core properties, lower real estate basis after impairment charges in 2019, termination of NRE management contract in September 2019 and write-down of NorthStar Healthcare management contract in December 2019.

 Impairment loss on real estate and goodwill are discussed further in Notes 4 and 7 , respectively, to the consolidated financial statements. 
 Healthcare and Hospitality— In 2020, we recognized impairment of $661.3 million on healthcare assets and $660.8 million on hotel assets, resulting from shortened holding period assumptions, attributable to both the Company's accelerated digital transformation , and the risk that the Company is unable to obtain accommodation from lenders on non-recourse mortgage debt that is in default or at risk of default . This resulted in a shortfall in projected future cash flows, which was further exacerbated by a decline in property operating performance and market values as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19 , such that the carrying value of these assets would not be recoverable. 
 In 2019, impairment of (i) $51.3 million on healthcare assets was based upon a negotiated purchase option exercised by a tenant on three hospitals and preliminary offers received on certain net lease properties, all of which have since been sold; and (ii) $0.4 million on a hotel was based upon final net proceeds from sale. 
 Other Equity and Debt— Impairment was $120.0 million higher, primarily on the THL Hotel Portfolio, various office properties, and a hotel in Spain. The higher impairment was driven by shortened holding period assumptions due to the Company's accelerated digital transformation or risk of default on non-recourse investment level debt; and/or the economic effects of COVID-19 on property operating cash flows and market values . 
 Other Investment Management— Goodwill in the other investment management segment was written down by $515.0 million , driven by acceleration of the Company's digital transformation and significant reduction in the value of its non-digital balance sheet assets . 
 Unallocated— Impairment was recorded on the corporate aircraft in 2020 to reflect recoverable value based upon a shortened holding period and on an office operating lease asset in 2019.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation cost following the cost reduction initiative, sales of NRE in September 2019 and our industrial business in December 2019, and reversal of carried interest compensation in 2020.

 Administrative Expenses 
 There was a marginal increase in administrative expense of $0.3 million as higher professional service costs and additional expenses in connection with businesses acquired in 2019 were largely offset by savings in business travel and office costs resulting from efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19. 
 Gain on Sale of Real Estate 
 The higher gains in 2019 were from sales of our European properties. The pace of dispositions has slowed considerably in 2020 given the current global economic downturn resulting from efforts to contain COVID-19.

 Digital— Amounts represent net earnings from interests in (i) our sponsored DCP fund; (ii) through July 2019, Digital Colony Manager, the manager of DCP, prior to its consolidation upon acquisition of DBH; and beginning March 31, 2020, existing Colony investment vehicles that were repurposed to execute an investment strategy focused around the digital sector. 
 CLNC— We recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in CLNC of $274.7 million in 2020 and $227.9 million in 2019. Our interest in CLNC also generated net loss of $75.6 million in 2020 (inclusive of $8.7 million adjustment to reduce the basis difference allocated to non-strategic assets resolved during the second quarter of 2020) and net loss of $40.0 million in 2019. CLNC's net losses were driven by allowance for loan losses, impairment or unrealized fair value losses on investments, and realized losses from sale of investments and unwinding of hedge positions, further affected by COVID-19 in 2020 . Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the CLNC impairment and basis adjustment. 
 Other Equity and Debt— Equity method losses in 2020 compared to earnings in 2019, resulting in a decrease of $54.2 million , arose from impairment of an investee based upon projected exit strategy, decrease in fair value of investments under the fair value option and our share of investee net losses, all of which reflect the economic effects of COVID-19. 
 Other Investment Management— Equity method net loss was $14.3 million lower due to an impairment charge recorded in 2019 on an investee which has since been sold, partially offset by reversal of unrealized carried interest allocation in 2020. 
 Other Loss, Net 
 We recorded other net loss of $173.0 million in 2020 and $89.5 million in 2019, driven primarily by the following: 
 Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 
 
 • 
 $284.4 million ($230.3 million attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities) of net unrealized losses on loans receivable carried at fair value as recoverability is affected by increasing uncertainty and deterioration in the economic environment arising from the effects of COVID-19 (fair value option was elected on loans receivable beginning 2020); 
 
 • 
 $21.4 million of unrealized credit losses on commercial real estate ("CRE") debt securities; 
 
 • 
 realized gain of $60.7 million , of which the Company's share is 50% , and recognition of future profit allocation at fair value of $66.0 million ( $33.7 million attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities) from recapitalization of our co-investment venture which holds common stock in Albertsons Companies, Inc. (refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).

 Table of Contents 
 
 Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 
 
 • 
 unrealized loss of $86.9 million on a non-designated interest rate swap assumed through the Merger that was intended to hedge future refinancing on certain healthcare mortgage debt. Such debt was refinanced in June 2019 and the swap was terminated at the end of 2019. 
 
 Income Tax Expense 
 Income tax expense was higher by $5.1 million , attributed primarily to (i) valuation allowances established against deferred tax assets in the hospitality and healthcare segments as a result of uncertainties in future realization of tax benefit on net operating losses, taking into consideration the impairment of assets in these segments; partially offset by (ii) deferred tax benefit recognized on taxable losses in the other investment management segment. 
 Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations 
 In 2020, discontinued operations represent (i) results of operations of the bulk industrial portfolio; and (ii) in the second quarter of 2020, final adjustments to proceeds from the December 2019 sale of the light industrial portfolio upon release of escrowed funds, which resulted in a net loss of $7.4 million, including a corresponding effect on carried interest and related compensation. In 2019, discontinued operations encompassed predominantly results of the light industrial portfolio and the related management platform prior to its sale in December 2019 . Refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.

 Digital— Amounts represent income and related operating expenses from our DataBank subsidiary that was acquired in December 2019, primarily in connection with colocation rent and data center services. 
 Healthcare— Property operating income decreased $11.3 million , driven by sales of 25 net lease properties in 2019 and one in the first quarter of 2020 , and to a lesser extent, lower rental income from lease restructurings on certain net leased senior housing and skilled nursing facilities . Property operating expenses increased $13.1 million , primarily due to incremental costs incurred in our senior housing facilities in response to COVID-19, and to a lesser extent, higher insurance premiums. A small portion of the incremental costs were abated by government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund , which partially offset the decrease in property operating income. Refer to further discussion in " —Segment Results—Healthcare." 
 Hospitality— Property operating income and expense decreased $212.9 million and $96.3 million , respectively. On a same store basis (excluding the effects of ten select service hotels sold in 2019), property operating income and expense decreased $193.8 million or 48% and $81.2 million or 31%, respectively. The decrease in income reflects the effects of COVID-19 with significant declines in room demand with an average occupancy of 44.4% , a decrease of 40% compared to the same period last year. This was further compounded by lower ADR resulting in RevPAR falling 47% compared to the same period last year. Although we have taken various steps to minimize non-essential operating expenses during this time, the decrease in operating expenses, as expected, was less pronounced as we continue to incur fixed operating costs. Notwithstanding the overall negative results for the second quarter of 2020, operations have recovered from the trough in April 2020 and have since trended positively through July 2020. Refer to further discussion in " —Segment Results—Hospitality." 
 Other Equity and Debt— Property operating income and expenses decreased $91.4 million and $44.5 million , respectively, driven by sales of limited service hotels in our THL Hotel Portfolio, U.S. multi-tenant offices and other properties in our European portfolio, as well as the effects of COVID-19 on the operating results of our THL Hotel Portfolio and a hotel in Spain. 
 Interest Income 
 Interest income decreased $25.9 million , attributed to loan payoffs and sales in 2019 and loans placed on nonaccrual in the second quarter of 2020 as the COVID-19 crisis has led to increased uncertainty over collectability. 
 Fee Income 
 Fee income is earned from the following sources:

 Total fee income increased $20.6 million resulting from: 
 
 • 
 net increase of $38.1 million in fees from institutional funds and investment vehicles, driven by $40.2 million of fees from DBH (50% of fees from DCP was recognized as equity method income prior to acquisition of DBH) and Colony Latam, which were acquired in July 2019 and April 2019, respectively, partially offset by decreases in fees from liquidating funds; 
 
 The increase in fees from institutional funds and investment vehicles was partially offset by: 
 
 • 
 $6.4 million decrease in fees from Colony Credit due to a lower stockholders' equity fee base; 
 
 • 
 $7.7 million of fees from NRE in 2019 prior to its sale in September 2019; 
 
 • 
 $1.1 million decrease in fees from NorthStar Healthcare following a decrease in its NAV fee basis effective December 2019; and 
 
 • 
 $1.5 million decrease in other fees related primarily to advisory fees earned in the second quarter of 2019. 
 
 Other Income 
 Other income decreased $7.9 million , attributed primarily to (i) lower other income in connection with CLNC equity awards that were remeasured at fair value based upon CLNC's stock price at period end, and other income recognized in 2019 in relation to NRE equity awards, with such amounts correspondingly recognized in equity-based compensation, as a gross-up of income and expense (refer to Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the accounting treatment of managed company awards); and (ii) lower cost reimbursement from affiliates. These decreases were partially offset by hotel management fee income in the first quarter of 2020 from our acquisition of a distressed hotel manager in France in July 2019 within our other equity and debt segment.

 Healthcare— Interest expense was $30.1 million lower as a result of: (i) decrease in LIBOR on predominantly variable rate debt; (ii) interest expense recognized in the second quarter of 2019 from the write-off of debt discount in connection with a June 2019 refinancing; and (iii) debt repayment upon sale of non-core properties in 2019. These decreases were partially offset by interest expense recognized from amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the June 2019 refinancing. 
 Hospitality— Interest expense decreased $14.0 million , driven by a decline in LIBOR on predominantly variable rate debt on our hotel portfolio, partially offset by additional debt obtained in connection with debt refinancing in 2019 and higher deferred financing costs expensed as a result of the refinancing. 
 Other Equity and Debt— Interest expense decreased $22.8 million due to a decline in LIBOR and debt payoffs from sale of properties and resolution of loans receivable. 
 Corporate-level Debt— Interest expense increased $2.9 million as a result of writing off a portion of deferred financing costs on our corporate credit facility to reflect a reduction in the facility amount in June 2020, along with a higher average outstanding balance on the facility in 2020. This increase was partially offset by the effect of a decline in LIBOR on our junior subordinated debt and lower unused fees on our credit facility. 
 Investment and Servicing Expense 
 Investment and servicing costs were $14.9 million lower, attributed primarily to costs related to refinancing of our healthcare debt in 2019, higher unconsummated deal costs in 2019 and lower hotel asset management and incentive fees

 in 2020, which corresponds to the decline in hotel revenues, partially offset by higher investment expenses incurred by our European portfolio. 
 Transaction Costs 
 The higher transaction costs in 2019 of $2.8 million related to our acquisition of the Latin American investment management business of The Abraaj Group and acquisition of a hotel portfolio in France through a joint venture. 
 Depreciation and Amortization 
 Higher depreciation and amortization expense is attributed to real estate and intangible assets acquired from DataBank in December 2019 and DBH in July 2019, as well as capital improvements and fixed asset additions to our hotel properties that were completed throughout 2019 and beginning of 2020. These increases were partially offset by sales of non-core properties, lower real estate basis after impairment charges in 2019, termination of NRE management contract in September 2019 and write-down of NorthStar Healthcare management contract in December 2019.

 Impairment loss on real estate and goodwill are discussed further in Notes 4 and 7 , respectively, to the consolidated financial statements. 
 Healthcare and Hospitality— In 2020, we recognized impairment of $709.8 million on healthcare assets and $910.9 million on hotel assets, resulting from shortened holding period assumptions, attributable to both the Company's accelerated digital transformation , and the risk that the Company is unable to obtain accommodation from lenders on non-recourse mortgage debt that is in default or at risk of default . This resulted in a shortfall in projected future cash flows, which was further exacerbated by a decline in property operating performance and market values as a result of the economic effects of COVID-19 , such that the carrying value of these assets would not be recoverable. 
 In 2019, impairment of (i) $51.3 million on healthcare assets was based upon a negotiated purchase option exercised by a tenant on three hospitals and preliminary offers received on certain net lease properties, all of which have since been sold; and (ii) $4.3 million on hotel assets was based upon revised expected sales prices or final net proceeds from sale. 
 Other Equity and Debt— Impairment was $107.8 million higher, attributed to write-downs in 2020 on the THL Hotel Portfolio and office properties in the U.S, partially offset by a net decrease in impairment on our European portfolio. The higher impairment in 2020 was driven by a shortened holding period assumption due to the Company's accelerated digital transformation or risk of default on non-recourse investment level debt; and/or the economic effects of COVID-19 on property operating cash flows and market values . 
 Other Investment Management— Goodwill in the other investment management segment was written down by $594 million , driven by acceleration of the Company's digital transformation and significant reduction in the value of its non-digital balance sheet assets . 
 Unallocated— Impairment was recorded on the corporate aircraft in 2020 to reflect recoverable value based upon a shortened holding period and on an office operating lease asset in 2019.

 Total compensation expense increased $30.8 million , attributed primarily to (i) additional compensation cost following the consolidation of DBH and DataBank, acquired in July and December 2019, respectively; and (ii) $6.6 million of severance related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2020 in connection with our new cost reduction initiative. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation cost following the cost reduction initiative, sales of NRE in September 2019 and our industrial business in December 2019, and reversals of carried interest compensation and equity-based compensation on CLNC awards in 2020 (refer to discussion in Other Income ). 
 Administrative Expenses 
 Administrative expense was $10.3 million higher, largely attributable to higher professional service costs and additional expenses in connection with businesses acquired in 2019, partially offset by savings in business travel and office costs resulting from efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19. 
 Settlement Loss 
 Amount represents fair value of the settlement arrangement with Blackwells at inception in March 2020, including reimbursement of legal costs. Refer to additional discussion in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. 
 Gain on Sale of Real Estate 
 There were higher gains in 2019 from sales of our European properties and U.S. multi-tenant office buildings. The pace of dispositions have slowed considerably in 2020 given the current global economic downturn resulting from efforts to contain COVID-19. 
 Gain on sale of $7.4 million and $34.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, were attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities.

 CLNC— We recorded other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in CLNC of $274.7 million in 2020 and $227.9 million in 2019. 
 Our interest in CLNC also generated net loss of $85.6 million in 2020 (inclusive of $27.9 million adjustment to reduce the basis difference allocated to non-strategic assets resolved during the six months ended June 30, 2020 ) and net loss of $34.5 million in 2019. CLNC's net losses were driven by allowance for loan losses, impairment or unrealized fair value

 losses on investments, and realized losses from sale of investments and unwinding of hedge positions, further affected by COVID-19 in 2020 . 
 Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the CLNC impairment and basis adjustment. 
 Other Equity and Debt —Equity method losses in 2020 compared to earnings in 2019, resulting in a decrease of $61.0 million , arose from impairment of an investee based upon projected exit strategy, decrease in fair value of investments under the fair value option and our share of investee net losses, all of which reflect the economic effects of COVID-19. To a lesser extent, there was also a loss of earnings from investments that were resolved or sold in 2019, partially offset by income from additional acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") loan disbursements. 
 Other Investment Management— Equity method net income in 2020 was driven by a $106.1 million gain from sale of our equity investment in RXR Realty in February 2020, partially offset by a reversal of unrealized carried interest allocation. In comparison, equity method net loss was incurred in 2019, driven by impairment charge on an investee that has since been sold, partially offset by unrealized carried interest income. 
 Other Loss, Net 
 We recognized other net loss of $176.5 million in 2020 and $138.6 million in 2019, driven primarily by the following: 
 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 
 
 • 
 $281.3 million ($227.6 million attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities) of net unrealized losses on loans receivable carried at fair value as recoverability is affected by increasing uncertainty and deterioration in the economic environment arising from the effects of COVID-19 (fair value option was elected on loans receivable beginning 2020); and 
 
 • 
 $22.2 million of unrealized credit losses on CRE debt securities; partially offset by 
 
 • 
 realized gain of $60.7 million and recognition of future profit allocation at fair value of $66.0 million ( $33.7 million attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities) from recapitalization of our co-investment venture which holds common equity in the Albertsons supermarket chain (refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements). 
 
 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 
 
 • 
 unrealized loss of $146.1 million on a non-designated interest rate swap assumed through the Merger that was intended to hedge future refinancing on certain healthcare mortgage debt. Such debt was refinanced in June 2019 and the swap was terminated at the end of 2019. 
 
 Income Tax Expense 
 Income tax expense was $12.3 million higher, attributed primarily to (i) valuation allowances established against deferred tax asset in the hospitality and healthcare segments as a result of uncertainties in future realization of net operating losses, taking into consideration the impairment of assets in these segments; (ii) tax liability on the gain from sale of our equity investment in RXR Realty in February 2020; partially offset by (iii) deferred tax benefit recognized in connection with our DataBank subsidiary acquired in December 2019 and taxable losses in the other investment management segment in the second quarter of 2020. 
 Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations 
 In 2020, discontinued operations represent (i) results of operations of the bulk industrial portfolio; and (ii) in the second quarter of 2020, final adjustments to proceeds from the December 2019 sale of the light industrial portfolio upon release of escrowed funds, which resulted in a net loss of $7.4 million, including a corresponding effect on carried interest and related compensation. In 2019, discontinued operations encompassed predominantly results of the light industrial portfolio and the related management platform prior to its sale in December 2019 . Refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.

 Assets for which the Company and its affiliates provide investment management services, including assets for which the Company may or may not charge management fees and/or performance allocations. AUM is based on the cost basis of managed investments as reported by each underlying vehicle as of the end of the reporting period and includes uncalled capital commitments. The Company's calculations of AUM may differ from other asset managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. 
 
 (2) 
 Equity for which the Company and its affiliates provide investment management services and derive management fees and/or incentives. FEEUM generally represents the basis used to derive fees, which may be based upon invested equity, stockholders’ equity, or fair value pursuant to the terms of each underlying investment management agreement. The Company's calculation of FEEUM may differ from other asset managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. 
 
 (3) 
 Effective June 30, 2020, we no longer include the Company's share of AUM and FEEUM managed by third party asset managers in which we have an equity interest. AUM and FEEUM for December 31, 2019 have been revised to conform to the current definition.

 Represents third party ownership share of CLNC's pro rata share of total assets, excluding consolidated securitization trusts. 
 
 • 
 Total third party FEEUM increased $0.5 billion to $16.3 billion at June 30, 2020 . 
 
 • 
 There was a $1.0 billion increase in our digital FEEUM, of which $0.7 billion arose from DCP's acquisition in February 2020 of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc., a provider of bandwidth infrastructure services in the United States and Europe. Zayo, formerly a publicly-traded company, was taken private as part of the acquisition by DCP. 
 
 • 
 This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 billion decrease in FEEUM from CLNC as a result of a decrease in CLNC's asset values. 
 
 • 
 With the raising of third party capital alongside our balance sheet investment in Vantage's portfolio of stabilized hyperscale data centers in July 2020, our third party digital AUM and FEEUM have increased to $21.6 billion and $8.3 billion, respectively. 
 
 Segments 
 The following discussion summarizes key information on our reportable segments. 
 
 Digital Real Estate and Investment Management ("Digital") 
 Digital is a new segment for the Company effective the fourth quarter of 2019, and is where we expect substantial growth to take place, both in terms of the balance sheet and investment management through (a) further investment of capital into digital real estate and infrastructure assets and GP co-investments and (b) net inflows of third-party capital into digital-related investment strategies sponsored by the Company. 
 Our digital segment is composed of the following as of June 30, 2020 : 
 
 • 
 Digital real estate— A 20% controlling interest in DataBank, acquired in December 2019. DataBank is a leading provider of enterprise-class data centers, connectivity and managed services. 
 
 85 

 Table of Contents 
 
 DataBank owns eight data centers, having completed the construction of a new data center in the second quarter of 2020, and have leasehold interests in 12 data centers, operating in nine U.S. markets. This is our inaugural direct balance sheet investment in digital real estate and represents our first step in investing in the edge/colocation data center sector, which will support future growth opportunities through potential add-on acquisitions and greenfield edge data center developments. We earn rental and service income from providing use of space and/or capacity in our digital assets through long-term contracts and related service orders . 
 
 • 
 Digital investment management— DBH investment management business, acquired in July 2019, which currently manages DCP and six digital real estate portfolio companies, including DataBank. 
 
 At June 30, 2020 , our digital FEEUM totaled $7.8 billion . Investment management products may include investment vehicles for co - investment partnerships and other managed assets, and digital credit and liquid securities products in the future. We earn management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed in investment vehicles, and have the potential to earn carried interest based on the performance of such investment vehicles subject to the achievement of minimum return hurdles. 
 
 • 
 Digital equity investments— DCP, our first sponsored digital real estate and infrastructure fund, which had its final closing in May 2019; and interests in existing Colony investment vehicles that were repurposed to execute an investment strategy focused around the digital sector. 
 
 DCP has total commitments of $4.06 billion, including our $250 million commitment, of which we have funded $115 million through June 30, 2020 . Refer to discussion of the Wafra transaction below in connection with our capital commitments to DCP. As of August 4, 2020 , DCP has called 77% of commitments, and is invested in ten geographically diversified portfolio companies across North America, South America, and Europe, composed of the digital infrastructure ecosystem of cell towers, data centers, small cells and fiber networks. 
 Acceleration of Our Digital Transformation 
 Strategic Partnership in Our Digital Investment Management Business 
 On July 17, 2020, we formed a strategic partnership with Wafra in which Wafra made a minority investment representing an approximate 31.5% interest in our Digital IM Business. Wafra paid a consideration of $254 million for its investment in the Digital IM Business and for warrants issued by the Company to Wafra (assuming the consideration excludes the warrants, this implies an approximately $805 million valuation of the Digital IM Business). Wafra has agreed to assume certain of the Company's existing commitments made to DCP and to make commitments to the successor fund to DCP and to the Company’s initial digital credit fund, in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million. Wafra has also agreed to make commitments to the Company's future digital funds and investment vehicles on a pro rata basis with the Company based on Wafra's percentage interest in the Digital IM Business, subject to certain caps. Wafra's investment provides us with permanent capital to pursue strategic digital infrastructure investments and grow the Digital IM Business. Refer to Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Wafra transaction. 
 Investment in Hyperscale Data Centers 
 On July 22, 2020, alongside an approximate $1 billion of fee bearing third party capital that we raised, we invested $1.21 billion for an approximate 80% equity stake in Vantage's portfolio of 12 stabilized hyperscale data centers in North America. Our balance sheet investment is $185 million, which represents a 12.3% interest. Following the closing of this transaction, our digital FEEUM increased to $8.3 billion. This investment is our second significant balance sheet investment in a digital operating business and achieves our transformation goals on two fronts, that is the rotation of our balance sheet to digital assets and growing our digital investment management business.

 Digital real estate revenues in the second quarter of 2020 included the effects of purchase price allocation adjustments to the amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements) which reduced revenues by $3.2 million. 
 
 • 
 Prior to July 2019, our digital segment generated only equity method earnings from our 50% interest in Digital Colony Manager which manages DCP, and from our interest in DCP. Digital Colony Manager was consolidated upon acquisition of DBH. 
 
 • 
 Revenues from our digital segment in 2020 represent primarily property operating income from DataBank, acquired in December 2019, and fee income from DBH, acquired in July 2019. 
 
 • 
 Digital real estate— The net loss from our DataBank business in 2020 includes the effect of interest expense from debt financing, and depreciation and amortization expense. Operating results of DataBank excluding these effects are presented below as earnings before interest, tax and depreciation for real estate ("EBITDA re "). 
 
 • 
 Digital investment management— While fee income from our digital investment management business is trending positively in 2020, operating margins have a seen a decline as we ramp up resources to support future investment product offerings. 
 
 • 
 Digital equity investments— Net income from digital equity investments in 2020 includes the results of existing Colony investment vehicles that were repurposed to execute an investment strategy focused on the digital sector, and more notable contributions from DCP as the fund ramps up its investing activities, in particular contribution from DCP's Zayo co-investment that closed in February 2020.

 Healthcare 
 Our healthcare segment is composed of a diverse portfolio of senior housing facilities, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings and hospitals. We earn rental income from our senior housing facilities, skilled nursing facilities and hospitals that are under net leases to single tenants/operators and from medical office buildings which are both single tenant and multi-tenant. In addition, we earn resident fee income from senior housing facilities that are managed by operators under a RIDEA structure, which effectively allows us to gain financial exposure to the underlying operations of the facility in a tax efficient manner versus receiving contractual rent under a net lease arrangement.

 Six senior housing properties were transitioned from net leases into operating properties in the second quarter of 2020. 
 
 (3) 
 In August 2020, 36 properties, along with the underlying debt, were indirectly conveyed to an affiliate of a lender, as discussed further below. 
 
 Held for Sale and Dispositions 
 We sold a portfolio of net lease skilled nursing facilities totaling 143 beds and a land parcel in the first quarter of 2020 in our effort to monetize non-core assets in our healthcare segment. We received gross proceeds of $7.5 million, from which we paid off $6.5 million of associated debt. 
 At June 30, 2020 , real estate properties with aggregate carrying value of $46.3 million were held for sale, comprising one portfolio of net lease skilled nursing facilities totaling 766 beds that was encumbered with $45.1 million of debt. 
 Financing 
 At June 30, 2020 , our healthcare portfolio was financed by $2.92 billion of outstanding debt principal, of which $0.4 billion was fixed rate debt and $2.52 billion was variable rate debt, bearing a combined weighted average interest rate of 3.88% per annum. 
 Of the total healthcare debt at June 30, 2020 , $203.0 million was in default. Subsequently, in August 2020, the Company indirectly conveyed the equity of certain of its healthcare borrower subsidiaries, comprising 36 assets in its senior housing operating portfolio and $157.9 million of the aforementioned defaulted healthcare debt (based on outstanding balance at June 30, 2020 ), to an affiliate of the lender, which released the Company from all rights and obligations with respect to those healthcare assets and corresponding debt. As of the date of this filing, $45.1 million of healthcare debt remains in default.

 Operating results at the property level are discussed under NOI below. Results summarized above include the effects of interest expense from mortgage financing, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization expense on our healthcare portfolio, which are discussed in " —Results of Operations. " 
 While there was a loss of earnings from sales of net leased properties in 2019 and operating profits declined in 2020, as discussed below, the net losses in all periods were driven by significant impairment charges, in particular $661.3 million and $709.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively, due to a shortened holding period assumption.

 NOI decreased $17.3 million and $25.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively, of which $5.7 million and $11.5 million, respectively, are attributed to the sales of 25 net lease properties in 2019 and one in the first quarter of 2020 . 
 The remaining decrease in NOI resulted primarily from: 
 
 • 
 lower rental income from lease restructurings on certain net leased senior housing and skilled nursing facilities ; and 
 
 • 
 in our senior housing operating portfolio, resident fee income decreased as occupancy declined while operating costs increased, both as a result of COVID-19, as discussed further below. 
 
 Effects of COVID-19 on our Healthcare Segment 
 Our first priority has been, and continues to be, the health and safety of the residents and staff at our communities. We remain focused on supporting our operating partners during this challenging time. Concurrently, we are actively managing capital needs and liquidity to mitigate the financial impact of COVID-19 on our healthcare business. 
 At this time, we understand from our operators and managers that our communities as a whole continue to experience a moderate level of confirmed COVID-19 cases. The incidence of confirmed cases in our portfolio may continue and could accelerate depending on the duration, scope and depth of COVID-19 . 
 The effect of COVID-19 varies by asset class in the Company's healthcare portfolio. Specifically, efforts to address COVID-19 have in some cases forced temporary closures of medical offices, restricted the admission of new residents to senior housing facilities, especially in communities that have experienced infections, and caused incurrence of unanticipated costs and other business disruptions. The Company will be directly impacted by these factors in its RIDEA assets, and indirectly impacted in its net leased assets as these factors influence tenants’ ability to pay rent. 
 
 • 
 In our medical office portfolio, beginning in April 2020, a number of tenants failed to make rent payments or make timely payments, and some sought more flexible payment terms or rent concessions as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Local governments in certain jurisdictions have implemented or are considering implementing programs that permit or require forbearance of rent payments by tenants affected by COVID-19. The Company is currently engaged with affected tenants on a case-by-case basis to evaluate and respond to the current environment. The Company has agreed to provide the affected tenants with a deferral of rent, generally for two to three months, with deferred rent to be repaid in monthly installments over periods of four to 18 months. This resulted in an increase in lease income receivable totaling $0.3 million as of June 30, 2020 . All lease income receivable, including straight-line rents, are subject to the Company's policy for evaluation of collectability based upon creditworthiness of the lessee. 
 
 • 
 In our senior housing operating portfolio, statutory or self-imposed restrictions began to limit admission of new residents into our communities starting in March 2020 in an effort to contain COVID-19. Also, we continue to face challenges from existing communities that have experienced infections, heightened risk of resident and staff illness and resident move-outs, particularly in those communities that have experienced infections. There is typically a period of time where restrictions on admissions continue to be imposed in communities that have experienced infections until such time that infections are no longer detected. As a result, we anticipate a decline in occupancy to continue as the rate of resident move-outs continue to outpace new resident admissions. 
 
 • 
 Operating costs in our senior housing operating portfolio have risen as our healthcare operators take action to protect their residents and staff, specifically higher labor costs, as well as higher usage and cost of personal protective equipment, and medical and sanitation supplies. We incurred $7.7 million of such incremental costs in 
 
 90 

 Table of Contents 
 
 the second quarter of 2020, of which $1.6 million was abated through government stimulus funding under the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund . 
 The challenges faced by our healthcare operators and our tenants as a result of COVID-19 will continue to put pressure on future revenues and operating margins in our healthcare segment. 
 As necessary, we will engage in discussions with our lenders on the deferral of payment obligations, and/or waiver of defaults for any potential failure in the future to satisfy certain financial or other covenants. 
 Given the ongoing nature of the pandemic, the extent of the financial effects and how prolonged the effects will be to our healthcare business is uncertain at this time, and largely dependent on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 crisis. 
 
 Hospitality 
 Our hotel portfolio consists primarily of extended stay hotels and premium branded select service hotels located in both major metropolitan markets and high-demand suburban markets throughout the U.S. The majority of our hotels are affiliated with top hotel brands such as Marriott and Hilton. 
 We own between 89.7% and 100% of the various portfolios within our hospitality segment. 
 We are currently engaged with a third party advisor to evaluate strategic and financial alternatives to maximize the value of our hospitality portfolio, including the THL Hotel Portfolio in the other equity and debt segment, while balancing the need to preserve liquidity and prioritize the growth of our digital business. We do not anticipate allocating material amounts of the Company's own capital to our hospitality portfolios, but may elect to contribute capital on a limited basis, including in the THL Hotel Portfolio, where we determine it would be meaningful to protect the value of these portfolios. 
 Portfolio Overview 
 Our hotel portfolio is located across 26 states in the U.S., with concentrations in Texas (13.9%), California (12.9%), and Florida (12.6%), based upon revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2020 .

 NOI before FF&E Reserve decreased $89.3 million and $117.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively, of which $3.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, are attributed to the sales of ten select service properties in 2019. The decrease otherwise reflects the effects of COVID-19, with significant declines in room demand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , average occupancy fell 62% and 40% , respectively, compared to the same period last year, to 30.2% and 44.4% , respectively. This was further compounded by lower ADR, resulting in a decrease in RevPAR of 72% and 47% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively, compared to the same periods last year. 
 Notwithstanding the overall negative results for the second quarter of 2020, operations have recovered from the trough in April 2020, with NOI before FF&E Reserve turning a slight positive in June 2020, as illustrated below. Improvements in occupancy from 21.8% in April 2020 to 39.1% in June 2020 was driven by extended stay demand and also weekend leisure demand, while demand from corporate business travel remains muted.

 Efforts to Mitigate Effects of COVID-19 on our Hospitality Segment and THL Hotel Portfolio in Other Equity and Debt Segment 
 Through the date of this filing, all of our hotels are operating, but at significantly reduced levels; however, we may decide or be required to temporarily suspend operations at some or all of our hotels in the future. 
 Operating Performance 
 The fallout from COVID-19 began to negatively affect room demand and occupancy in March 2020, with significant effects on our revenues and operating cash flows beginning April 2020, as discussed above. 
 Liquidity 
 In order to conserve capital and improve liquidity: 
 
 • 
 We have taken various steps to minimize non-essential operating expenses, including where applicable, reduction of services, closure of amenities and floor spaces, and keeping only essential resources on the ground, with our hotel operators having furloughed a substantial number of personnel. 
 
 • 
 We are deferring all non-essential capital expenditures in 2020 of approximately $85 million for our hospitality segment and $10 million for our THL Hotel Portfolio, which will provide notable cost savings in the near term.

 Following the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, we have not made certain debt service payments on our non-recourse debt. Through the date of this filing, we have successfully executed interest forbearance on some of our debt, after which a remaining combined total of $3.03 billion is in default in our hospitality segment and the THL Hotel Portfolio. The remaining $482.4 million of debt in our hospitality segment was not in default as of the date of this filing. We have received notices of acceleration with respect to defaulted debt of $780.0 million in our hospitality segment and $842.7 million related to the THL Hotel Portfolio. The $780.0 million accelerated debt in the hospitality segment is secured by a portfolio of 48 select service and extended stay hotels, and receivers have been or are expected to be appointed for all of these assets. In connection with the remaining defaulted debt, we continue to engage in active negotiations with the respective lenders or servicers to seek various relief, including executing or extending interest forbearance, temporary use of FF&E and other capital expenditure reserves to fund interest payments and hotel operations (such reserves total $35.1 million in our hospitality segment as of June 30, 2020 ), and execution of debt modifications, including extension of upcoming maturities in 2020, or make other arrangements, as appropriate. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of the negotiations with our lenders or servicers. 
 
 Due to uncertainties as to the duration and severity of the economic fallout from COVID-19, at this time, we are unable to estimate with any meaningful precision the extent of the economic and financial impact of COVID-19 to our hospitality business and operations, and how prolonged the impact would be. We cannot predict when business will return to normal levels when the effects of COVID-19 subside.

 Our share of CLNC's net loss was net of $8.7 million and $27.9 million to reduce the basis difference allocated to non-strategic assets resolved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , respectively (Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements). CLNC's net loss was driven by allowance for loan losses, impairment or unrealized fair value losses on investments, and realized losses from sale of investments and unwinding of hedge positions, further affected by COVID-19 in 2020 . 
 Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Assessment
