Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Table of Contents ​ Note 1—Business and Organization Business —iStar Inc. (the “Company”) finances, invests in and develops real estate and real estate related projects as part of its fully-integrated investment platform. The Company also manages entities focused on ground lease and net lease investments (refer to Note 8). The Company has invested over $ 40 billion of capital over the past two decades and is structured as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with a diversified portfolio focused on larger assets located in major metropolitan markets. The Company’s primary reportable business segments are net lease, real estate finance, operating properties and land and development (refer to Note 18). Organization —The Company began its business in 1993 through the management of private investment funds and became publicly traded in 1998. Since that time, the Company has grown through the origination of new investments and corporate acquisitions. ​ Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes to conform to the current period presentation. Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, controlled partnerships and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s involvement with VIEs affects its financial performance and cash flows primarily through amounts recorded in “Operating lease income,” “Interest income,” “Earnings from equity method investments,” “Real estate expense” and “Interest expense” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company has provided no financial support to those VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Consolidated VIEs —The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to the Company and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

The Company adopted ASU 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) (“ASU 2020-06”) on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach method. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2021 by increasing “Debt obligations, net” by $ 10.0 million, increasing retained earnings by $ 15.9 million and decreasing “Additional paid-in capital” by $ 25.9 million with respect to its 3.125 % senior convertible notes (refer to Note 11). Periods presented that are prior to the adoption date of January 1, 2021 will not be adjusted. In addition, upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company is required to use a modified if-converted method when calculating earnings per share. The Company will settle conversions of the 3.125 % senior convertible notes by paying the conversion value in cash up to the original principal amount of the notes being converted and shares of common stock to the extent of any conversion premium. The if-converted method is modified so that interest expense is not added back to the numerator, and the denominator only includes the net number of incremental shares that would be issued upon conversion. For the remainder of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. 10 iStar Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (unaudited) Table of Contents New Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In March 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments 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. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. ​ Note 4—Real Estate The Company’s real estate assets were comprised of the following ($ in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net Operating ​ ​ ​ ​ Lease (1) ​ Properties ​ Total As of September 30, 2021 ​ ​ ​ Land, at cost ​ $ 188,418 ​ $ 6,830 ​ $ 195,248 Buildings and improvements, at cost ​ 1,355,984 ​ 106,634 ​ 1,462,618 Less: accumulated depreciation ​ ( 280,521 ) ​ ( 20,421 ) ​ ( 300,942 ) Real estate, net (1) ​ 1,263,881 ​ 93,043 ​ 1,356,924 Real estate available and held for sale (2) ​ — ​ 1,983 ​ 1,983 Total real estate ​ $ 1,263,881 ​ $ 95,026 ​ $ 1,358,907 As of December 31, 2020 ​ ​ ​ Land, at cost ​ $ 188,418 ​ $ 103,530 ​ $ 291,948 Buildings and improvements, at cost ​ 1,353,683 ​ 106,422 ​ 1,460,105 Less: accumulated depreciation ​ ( 250,198 ) ​ ( 17,574 ) ​ ( 267,772 ) Real estate, net (1) ​ 1,291,903 ​ 192,378 ​ 1,484,281 Real estate available and held for sale (2) ​ — ​ 5,212 ​ 5,212 Total real estate ​ $ 1,291,903 ​ $ 197,590 ​ $ 1,489,493 (1) As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, real estate, net included $ 741.6 million and $ 755.5 million, respectively, of real estate of the Net Lease Venture (refer to Net Lease Venture below).

Net Lease Venture —In February 2014, the Company partnered with a sovereign wealth fund to form a venture to acquire and develop net lease assets (the “Net Lease Venture”) and gave a right of first offer to the venture on all new net lease investments. The Company and its partner had joint decision making rights pertaining to the acquisition of new investments. Upon the expiration of the investment period on June 30, 2018, the Company obtained control of the venture through its unilateral rights of management and disposition of the assets. As a result, the expiration of the investment period resulted in a reconsideration event under GAAP and the Company determined that the Net Lease Venture is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Effective June 30, 2018, the Company consolidated the Net Lease Venture as an asset acquisition under ASC 810. The Net Lease Venture had previously been accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company has an equity interest in the Net Lease Venture of approximately 51.9 %. The Company is responsible for sourcing new opportunities and managing the venture and its assets in exchange for a management fee and incentive fee. Several of the Company’s senior executives whose time is substantially devoted to the Net Lease Venture own a total of 0.6 % equity ownership in the venture via co-investment. These senior executives are also entitled to an amount equal to 50 % of any incentive fee received based on the 47.5 % external partner’s interest.

Each Ground Lease also provides for a leasehold improvement allowance up to a maximum of $ 83.0 million. The Company also concurrently entered into an agreement pursuant to which SAFE would acquire the Ground Leases from the Company. If certain construction conditions are not met within a specified time period, SAFE will have no obligation to acquire the Ground Leases or fund the leasehold improvement allowances. The Company classified one of the Ground Leases as a sales-type lease and it is recorded in “Net investment in leases” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. One Ground Lease was entered into with the seller of the land and did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting, and as such, was accounted for as a financing transaction and $ 42.0 million was recorded in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied and that SAFE will acquire the properties and Ground Leases from the Company. In May 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with an operator of bowling entertainment venues, consisting of the purchase of nine bowling centers for $ 56.7 million, of which seven were acquired from the lessee for $ 44.1 million, and a commitment to invest up to $ 55.0 million in additional bowling centers over the next several years. The new centers were added to the Company’s existing master leases with the tenant. In connection with this transaction, the maturities of the master leases were extended by 15 years to 2047. In the second quarter 2020, the Company entered into a transaction with the lessee whereby it would apply $ 10 million of the net proceeds it received from certain sales of the lessee’s facilities to the lessee’s upcoming rent obligations to the Company. In exchange, the Company’s obligation under the lease to 12 iStar Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (unaudited) Table of Contents acquire an equal amount of new facilities for them or to reduce their rent in the future was terminated. In the third quarter 2020, the Company granted the lessee a nine-month rent deferral on its two wholly-owned master leases in exchange for eliminating the Company’s commitment to invest up to $ 55.0 million in additional bowling centers over the next several years. All deferred amounts are required to be repaid with interest beginning in January 2023. As a result of the May 2019 modifications to the leases, the Company classified the leases as sales-type leases and recorded $ 424.1 million in “Net investment in leases” on its consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the modifications in the second and third quarter 2020, the Company reassessed this classification as required by ASC 842, and concluded that the leases should continue to be classified as sales-type leases.

Credit Characteristics —As part of the Company’s process for monitoring the credit quality of its loans, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its performing loans. Risk ratings, which range from 1 (lower risk) to 5 (higher risk), are based on judgments which are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that actual performance will be similar to current expectation. The Company designates loans as non-performing at such time as: (1) interest payments become 90 days delinquent; (2) the loan has a maturity default; or (3) management determines it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. All non-performing loans are placed on non-accrual status and income is only recognized in certain cases upon actual cash receipt. 17 iStar Inc.

Loans receivable held for sale —In March 2021, the Company acquired land and simultaneously structured and entered into with the seller a Ground Lease on which a multi-family project will be constructed. The Company funded $ 16.1 million at closing and the Ground Lease documents provided for future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant of approximately $ 11.9 million of deferred purchase price and $ 52.0 million of leasehold improvement allowance upon achievement of certain milestones. At closing, the Company entered into an agreement with SAFE pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions being met, SAFE would acquire the ground lessor entity from the Company. The Company determined that the transaction did not qualify as a sale leaseback transaction and recorded the Ground Lease in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to closing, the Company funded approximately $ 6.0 million of the deferred purchase price to the Ground Lease tenant. The Company sold the ground lessor entity (and SAFE assumed all future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant) to SAFE in September 2021 for $ 22.1 million and recorded no gain or loss on the sale. In June 2021, the Company acquired a parcel of land for $ 42.0 million and simultaneously entered into a Ground Lease (refer to Note 5). The Company also concurrently entered into an agreement pursuant to which SAFE would acquire the Ground Lease from the Company. The Ground Lease was entered into with the seller of the land and did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting, and as such, was accounted for as a financing transaction and $ 42.0 million was recorded in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. 19 iStar Inc.

The Company may make optional prepayments, subject to prepayment fees. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Company’s Senior Term Loan was $ 491.9 million. Revolving Credit Facility —The Company has a secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maximum capacity of $ 350.0 million that matures in September 2022. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by pledges of the equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that own a defined pool of assets. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at a floating rate indexed to one of several base rates plus a margin which adjusts upward or downward based upon the Company’s corporate credit rating, ranging from 1.0 % to 1.5 % in the case of base rate loans and from 2.0 % to 2.5 % in the case of LIBOR loans.

Unsecured Notes —As of September 30, 2021, the Company has senior unsecured notes outstanding with varying fixed-rates and maturities ranging from September 2022 to February 2026. The Company’s senior unsecured notes are interest only, are generally redeemable at the option of the Company and contain certain financial covenants (see below). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, repayments of unsecured notes prior to maturity resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $ 12.0 million. This amount is included in “Loss on early extinguishment of debt, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Debt Covenants —The Company’s outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include a covenant to maintain a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness, as such terms are defined in the indentures governing the debt securities, of at least 1.2 x and a covenant restricting certain incurrences of debt based on a fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of the Company’s covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of its debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders. The Company’s Senior Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders and the delivery of information to the lenders. In particular, the Senior Term Loan requires the Company to maintain collateral coverage of at least 1.25 x outstanding borrowings on the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a borrowing base of assets and requires the Company to maintain both borrowing base asset value 28 iStar Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (unaudited) Table of Contents of at least 1.5 x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5 x. The Revolving Credit Facility does not require that proceeds from the borrowing base be used to pay down outstanding borrowings provided the borrowing base asset value remains at least 1.5 x outstanding borrowings on the facility. To satisfy this covenant, the Company has the option to pay down outstanding borrowings or substitute assets in the borrowing base. Under both the Senior Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility the Company is permitted to pay dividends provided that no material default (as defined in the relevant agreement) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the Company remains in compliance with its financial covenants after giving effect to the dividend. The Company’s Senior Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility contain cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company’s indebtedness to them if the Company fails to pay amounts due in respect of its other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The indentures governing the Company’s unsecured public debt securities permit the bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company’s indebtedness to them if the Company’s other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds is not paid at final maturity or if such indebtedness is accelerated. ​ Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies Unfunded Commitments —The Company generally funds construction and development loans and build-outs of space in real estate assets over a period of time if and when the borrowers and tenants meet established milestones and other performance criteria.

(3) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series G and I Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the liquidation preference of $ 25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date. Dividends —To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the REIT. The Company has recorded NOLs and may record NOLs in the future, which may reduce its taxable income in future periods and lower or eliminate entirely the Company’s obligation to pay dividends for such periods in order to maintain its REIT qualification. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $ 529.6 million of NOL carryforwards at the corporate REIT level that can generally be used to offset both ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income in future years. The NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2032 and will fully expire in 2036 if unused. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and certain asset impairments), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. The Senior Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility permit the Company to pay common dividends with no restrictions so long as the Company is not in default on any of its debt obligations. The Company declared common stock dividends of $ 26.3 million, or $ 0.36 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $ 24.6 million, or $ 0.32 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The character of the 2020 dividends was 100 % return of capital. Stock Repurchase Program —The Company may repurchase shares in negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including through one or more trading plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 4.2 million shares of its outstanding common stock for $ 91.9 million, for an average cost of $ 21.70 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 3.7 million shares of its outstanding common stock for $ 41.4 million, for an average cost of $ 11.32 per share. The Company is generally authorized to repurchase up to $ 50.0 million in shares of its common stock. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $ 30.9 million of common stock under its stock repurchase program. 33 iStar Inc.

Performance Incentive Plans —The Company’s Performance Incentive Plans (“iPIP”) are designed to provide, primarily to senior executives and select professionals engaged in the Company’s investment activities, long-term compensation which has a direct relationship to the realized returns on investments included in the plans. Awards vest over six years , with 40 % being vested at the end of the second year and 15 % each year thereafter. As of September 30, 2021, there are five iPIP Plans, each covering a two-year investment period beginning with the 2013-2014 Plan through the 2021-2022 Plan. 2019-2022 iPIP Plans —The Company’s 2019-2020 and 2021-2022 iPIP plans are equity-classified awards which are measured at the grant date fair value and recognized as compensation cost in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity over the requisite service period. Investments in the 2019-2022 iPIP plans are held by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and have two ownership classes, class A units and class B units. The Company owns 100 % of the class A units and the class B units were issued to employees as long-term compensation. Except for certain clawback provisions, participants can retain vested class B units upon their termination of employment with the Company. The class B units are entitled to distributions from the net cash realized from the investments in the plan after the Company, through its ownership of the class A units, has received a specified return on its invested capital and a return of its invested capital. Distributions on the class B units are also subject to reductions under a total shareholder return (“TSR”) adjustment. The fair value of the class B units was determined using a model that forecasts the underlying cash flows from the investments within the entity to which the class B units have ownership rights. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $ 2.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively, of expense related to the 2019-2022 iPIP plans. Distributions on the class B units are expected to be 50 % in cash and 50 % in shares of the Company’s common stock; provided, however, that (a) the cash portion will be increased if the Company does not have sufficient shares available under shareholder approved equity plans; and (b) if the principal remaining material asset in a plan is unsold SAFE shares, the Company may elect to distribute SAFE shares in lieu of cash and Company stock.

Certain employees will be granted awards that entitle employees to receive the residual cash flows from the investments in the plans after the Company has received a specified return on its invested capital and a return of its invested capital. Awards are also subject to reductions under a TSR adjustment. The fair value of awards is determined using a model that forecasts the Company’s projected investment performance. Settlement of the awards will be 50 % in cash and 50 % in shares of the Company’s common stock or in shares of SAFE’s common stock owned by the Company.

The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to be used in valuation techniques to measure fair value: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). 37 iStar Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (unaudited) Table of Contents Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value either on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Assets required to be marked-to-market and reported at fair value every reporting period are classified as being valued on a recurring basis. Assets not required to be recorded at fair value every period may be recorded at fair value if a specific provision or other impairment is recorded within the period to mark the carrying value of the asset to market as of the reporting date. Such assets are classified as being valued on a non-recurring basis. The following fair value hierarchy table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by the above categories ($ in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ market ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ prices in ​ other ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ active ​ observable ​ unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ markets ​ inputs ​ inputs ​ Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) As of September 30, 2021 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ Derivative liabilities (1) $ 11,723 $ — $ 11,723 $ — Available-for-sale securities (1) ​ 27,535 ​ — ​ — ​ 27,535 Non-recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Impaired real estate available and held for sale (2) ​ ​ 1,682 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 1,682 Other investments (3) ​ ​ 98,461 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 98,461 ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As of December 31, 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ Recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ Derivative liabilities (1) ​ ​ 18,926 ​ ​ — ​ ​ 18,926 ​ ​ — Available-for-sale securities (1) ​ ​ 25,274 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 25,274 Non-recurring basis: ​ ​ ​ ​ Impaired land and development (4) ​ 6,078 ​ — ​ — ​ 6,078 (1) The fair value of the Company’s derivatives are based upon widely accepted valuation techniques utilized by a third-party specialist using observable inputs such as interest rates and contractual cash flow and are classified as Level 2.

(2) The Company recorded a $ 0.4 million impairment on an operating property held for sale with an estimated fair value of $ 1.7 million. The estimated fair value is based on an executed sales contract with a third party. (3) During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified an observable price change in an equity security held by the Company as evidenced by an orderly private issuance of similar securities by the same issuer and, as such, classified such observable price change as Level 2.
