As part of this<br>strategy, we accelerated the monetization of legacy assets, reducing our legacy portfolio to approximately 14% of our overall portfolio as of June 30, 2021, and deployed a substantial portion of<br>the proceeds into additional investments in SAFE and new loan and net lease originations relating to the Ground Lease business. Adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP metric management uses to<br>assess our execution of this strategy and the performance of our operations. Adjusted earnings reflects impairment charges and loan provisions in the same period in which they are recognized<br>in net income (loss) prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).<br>Adjusted earnings is used internally as a supplemental performance measure adjusting for certain items to give management a view of income more directly derived from operating activities in<br>the period in which they occur. Adjusted earnings is calculated as net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of depreciation and amortization, including our<br>proportionate share of depreciation and amortization from equity method investments and excluding depreciation and amortization allocable to noncontrolling interests, stock-based<br>compensation expense, the non-cash portion of loss on early extinguishment of debt and the liquidation preference recorded as a premium above book value on the redemption of preferred<br>stock (“Adjusted Earnings”).<br>Adjusted Earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. Adjusted Earnings should not be considered as an<br>alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, nor is<br>Adjusted Earnings indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted Earnings is an additional measure we use to analyze our<br>business performance because it excludes the effects of certain non-cash charges that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our operating performance. It should be noted that our<br>manner of calculating Adjusted Earnings may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

Management believes that adjusted common equity provides a useful measure for investors to consider in addition to total shareholders equity because cumulative effect of depreciation and<br>amortization expenses and CECL allowances calculated under GAAP may not necessarily reflect an actual reduction in the value of the Company’s assets. Adjusted common equity should be examined in<br>conjunction with total shareholders’ equity as shown on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
