Business and Organization

Note 1—Business and Organization

Business—Safehold Inc. (the “Company”) operates its business through one reportable segment by acquiring, managing and capitalizing ground leases. Ground leases are long-term contracts between the landlord (the Company) and a tenant or leaseholder. The Company believes that it is the first publicly-traded company formed primarily to acquire, own, manage, finance and capitalize ground leases. Ground leases generally represent ownership of the land underlying commercial real estate projects that is net leased by the fee owner of the land to the owners/operators of the real estate projects built thereon (“Ground Leases”). Under a Ground Lease, the tenant is generally responsible for all property operating expenses, such as maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance and is also responsible for development costs and capital expenditures. Ground Leases are typically long-term (base terms ranging from 30 to 99 years, often with tenant renewal options) and have contractual base rent increases (either at a specified percentage or consumer price index (“CPI”) based, or both) and sometimes include percentage rent participations. The Company’s CPI lookbacks are generally capped between 3.0% - 3.5%. In the event cumulative inflation growth for the lookback period exceeds the cap, these rent adjustments may not keep up fully with changes in inflation.

The Company intends to target investments in long-term Ground Leases in which: (i) the initial cost of its Ground Lease represents 30% to 45% of the combined value of the land and buildings and improvements thereon as if there was no Ground Lease on the land (“Combined Property Value”); (ii) the ratio of property net operating income to the Ground Lease payment due the Company (“Ground Rent Coverage”) is between 2.0x to 4.5x, and for this purpose the Company uses estimates of the stabilized property net operating income if it does not receive current tenant information and for properties under construction or in transition, in each case based on leasing activity at the property and available market information, including leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market; and (iii) the Ground Lease contains contractual rent escalation clauses or percentage rent that participates in gross revenues generated by the commercial real estate on the land. A Ground Lease lessor (the Company) typically has the right to regain possession of its land and take ownership of the buildings and improvements thereon upon tenant default and the termination of the Ground Lease on account of such default. The Company believes that the Ground Lease structure provides an opportunity for potential value accretion through the reversion to the Company, as the Ground Lease owner, of the buildings and improvements on the land at the expiration or earlier termination of the lease, for no additional consideration from the Company.

The Company is managed by SFTY Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of iStar Inc. (“iStar”), the Company’s largest shareholder, pursuant to a management agreement. The Company has no employees, as the Manager provides all services to it. The Company draws on the extensive investment origination and sourcing platform of its Manager to actively promote the benefits of the Ground Lease structure to prospective Ground Lease tenants.

Organization—The Company is a Maryland corporation and completed its initial public offering in June 2017. The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SAFE.” The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2017. The Company is structured as an Umbrella Partnership REIT (“UPREIT”). As such, all of the Company’s properties are owned through a subsidiary partnership, Safehold Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned 100% of the limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned 100% of the general partner interests in the Operating Partnership. The UPREIT structure may afford the Company certain benefits as it seeks to acquire properties from third parties who may want to defer taxes by contributing their Ground Leases to the Company.

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, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

The preparation of these consolidated 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.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated VIEs—The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is considered the primary beneficiary. As of March 31, 2022, the total assets of these consolidated VIEs were $69.3 million and total liabilities were $29.8 million. The classifications of these assets are primarily within “Net investment in sales-type leases,” “Real estate, net,” “Real estate-related intangible assets, net” and “Deferred operating lease income receivable” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The classifications of liabilities are primarily within “Debt obligations, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to the Company and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets. The Company has provided no financial support to VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide and did not have any unfunded commitments related to consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2022.

Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Values—The Company is required to disclose fair value information with regard to its financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 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). The Company determines the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions.

The following table presents the carrying value and fair value for the Company’s financial instruments ($ in millions):


	As of March 31, 2022				As of December 31, 2021
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value		Value		Value
Assets
Net investment in sales-type leases⁽¹⁾	$	2,740	$	3,107	$	2,413	$	2,704

Total debt obligations, net		2,913		2,701		2,698		2,859

(1)

The fair value of the Company’s net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations traded in secondary markets are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations not traded in secondary markets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

(2)	The Company determined the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximated their fair values and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—In February 2022, the Company sold 108,571 Caret Units (refer to Note 11) for $19.0 million to third-party investors and received a commitment from an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) for the purchase of 28,571 Caret Units for $5.0 million. As part of the sale, the Company is obligated to seek to provide a public market listing for the Caret Units, or securities into which they may be exchanged, within two years. If the Company is unable to provide public market liquidity within two years at a value in excess of the new investor’s basis, the investors have the right to cause the Company to redeem their Caret Units at their original purchase price.

The Company classifies these redeemable Caret Units in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480: Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. ASC 480-10-S99-3A requires that equity securities redeemable at the option of the holder be classified outside of permanent stockholders’ equity. The Company classifies redeemable Caret Units as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests” in its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in equity. The redeemable noncontrolling interest’s carrying amount is equal to the higher of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss and dividends; or (ii) the redemption value. In the case of the Company’s redeemable Caret Units, the carrying amount equals both the initial carrying amount and the redemption value.

New Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments held by a reporting entity. This new standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public entities such as the Company that qualified as smaller reporting companies prior to December 31, 2019, ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”) to clarify certain accounting topics from previously issued ASUs, including ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-04 addresses certain aspects of ASU 2016-13, including but not limited to, accrued interest receivable, loan recoveries, interest rate projections for variable-rate financial instruments and expected prepayments. ASU 2019-04 provides alternatives that allow entities to measure credit losses on accrued interest separate from credit losses on the principal portion of a loan, clarifies that entities should include expected recoveries in the measurement of credit losses, allows entities to consider future interest rates when measuring credit losses and can elect to adjust effective interest rates used to discount expected cash flows for expected loan prepayments. ASU 2019-04 is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Leases [Abstract]

Net Investment In Sales-type Leases and Ground Lease Receivables

Note 4—Net Investment in Sales-type Leases and Ground Lease Receivables

The Company classifies certain of its Ground Leases as sales-type leases and records the leases within “Net investment in sales-type leases” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and records interest income in “Interest income from sales-type leases” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company may enter into transactions whereby it acquires land and enters into Ground Leases with the seller. These Ground Leases qualify as sales-type leases and, as such, do not qualify for sale leaseback accounting and are accounted for as financing receivables in accordance with ASC 310 - Receivables and are included in “Ground Lease receivables” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest income from Ground Lease receivables in “Interest income from sales-type leases” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

In September 2021, the Company entered into a lease assignment and modification with one of its tenants under an operating lease. In connection with this transaction, the lease was assigned to a new tenant and the maturity of the lease was extended by 3.5 years to September 2120. As a result of the modification to the lease, the Company re-evaluated the lease classification and classified the lease as a sales-type lease and recorded $40.9 million in "Net investment in leases" and derecognized $11.4 million from "Real estate, net," $9.8 million from "Deferred operating lease income receivable" and $17.9 million from "Real estate-related intangible assets, net" on its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s net investment in sales-type leases were comprised of the following ($ in thousands):


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Total undiscounted cash flows	$	26,395,478	$	23,707,424

(1)

The net investment in sales-type leases is initially measured at the present value of the fixed and determinable lease payments, including any guaranteed or unguaranteed estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the lease, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. For newly originated or acquired Ground Leases, the Company’s estimate of residual value equals the fair value of the land at lease commencement.

(2)	As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s weighted average accrual rate for its net investment in sales-type leases and Ground Lease receivables was 5.1% and 5.3%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining life of the Company’s 26 Ground Lease receivables was 99.0 years.

Future Minimum Lease Payments under Sales-type Leases—Future minimum lease payments to be collected under sales-type leases accounted for under ASC 842 - Leases, excluding lease payments that are not fixed and determinable, in effect as of March 31, 2022, are as follows by year ($ in thousands):

(1)

Above-market lease assets are recognized during asset acquisitions when the present value of market rate rental cash flows over the term of a lease is less than the present value of the contractual in-place rental cash flows. Above-market lease assets are amortized over the non-cancelable term of the leases.

(2)

In-place lease assets are recognized during asset acquisitions and are estimated based on the value associated with the costs avoided in originating leases comparable to the acquired in-place leases as well as the value associated with lost rental revenue during the assumed lease-up period. In-place lease assets are amortized over the non-cancelable term of the leases.

The expense from the amortization of real estate-related intangible assets had the following impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):

Operating lease right-of-use asset relates to a property that is majority-owned by a third party and is ground leased to the Company. The Company is obligated to pay the owner of the property $0.4 million, subject to adjustment for changes in the CPI, per year through 2044; however, the Company’s Ground Lease tenant at the property pays this expense directly under the terms of a master lease. Operating lease right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is recorded in “Real estate expense” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.1 million in “Real estate expense” and $0.1 million in “Other income” from its operating lease right-of-use asset. The related operating lease liability (see table below) equals the present value of the minimum rental payments due under the lease discounted at the Company’s incremental secured borrowing rate for a similar asset estimated to be 5.5%.

The Operating Partnership elected to draw these funds in March 2022. The Company may, at its option, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the 3.98% Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.98% Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the applicable make-whole amount calculated in accordance with the indenture, for such tranche determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount; provided, that, so long as no default or event of default shall then exist, at any time on or after November 15, 2051, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the 3.98% Notes at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with, in each case, accrued interest to the prepayment date, without any make-whole amount.

In addition, the Unsecured Revolver contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, these covenants may

restrict the Company or certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt or liens, engage in certain mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, make other investments or pay dividends. The Company’s 2.80% Notes, 2.85% Notes and 3.98% Notes are subject to a financial covenant requiring a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt of at least 1.25x and contain customary affirmative and negative covenants.

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded Commitments—The Company has unfunded commitments to certain of its Ground Lease tenants related to leasehold improvement allowances that it expects to fund upon the completion of certain conditions. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $310.1 million of such commitments.

The Company also has unfunded forward commitments related to agreements that it entered into for the acquisition of Ground Leases if certain conditions are met (refer to Note 13). These commitments may also include leasehold improvement allowances that will be funded to the Ground Lease tenants when certain conditions are met. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an aggregate $402.0 million of such commitments. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing for these transactions will be satisfied and that the Company will acquire the Ground Leases or fund the leasehold improvement allowances.

Legal Proceedings—The Company evaluates developments in legal proceedings that could require a liability to be accrued and/or disclosed. Based on its current knowledge, and after consultation with legal counsel, the Company believes it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Risk Management and Derivatives

Note 10—Risk Management and Derivatives

In the normal course of its ongoing business operations, the Company encounters credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s leases that result from a tenant’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.

Risk concentrations—Concentrations of credit risks arise when the Company has multiple leases with a particular tenant or credit party, or a number of the Company’s tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features, such that their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, could be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions.

Although the Company’s Ground Leases are geographically diverse and the tenants operate in a variety of industries and property types, to the extent the Company has a significant concentration of interest income from sales-type leases or operating lease income from any tenant, the inability of that tenant to make its payment could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company did not have a significant concentration of operating lease income from any tenant for the periods presented.

Derivative instruments and hedging activity—The Company’s use of derivative financial instruments has been associated with debt issuances and primarily limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.

The Company recognizes derivatives, if any, as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Interest rate hedge assets are recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” and interest rate hedge liabilities are recorded in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability.

For the Company’s derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt.

For the Company’s derivatives not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in “Interest expense” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company terminated its interest rate hedges for $19.9 million. The Company did not have any derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that $4.0 million related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” as an increase to interest expense.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features—The Company reports derivative instruments, if any, on a gross basis in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):

Note 11—Equity

Common Stock—The Company has one class of common stock outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, iStar purchased 0.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock for $10.5 million, at an average cost of $66.83 per share, pursuant to 10b5-1 plans (the “10b5-1 Plans”) in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under which it could buy shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market. iStar has also purchased shares of the Company’s common stock through private placements with the Company in connection with the Company’s public offerings. In March 2022, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering for gross proceeds of $118.0 million. Concurrently with the public offering, the Company sold $191.2 million in shares, or 3,240,000 shares, of its common stock to iStar in a private placement. The Company incurred approximately $5.1 million of offering costs in connection with these transactions which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2022, iStar owned 64.7% of the Company’s common stock; however, its discretionary voting power is limited to 41.9% as a result of limitations on its voting power contained in a stockholder’s agreement entered into in January 2019.

In February 2021, the Company and its affiliates, entered into an at-the-market equity offering (the “ATM”) pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million. Through March 31, 2022, the Company sold 12,881 shares at an average net price of $81.45 per share, paid $15,977 of offering costs and raised $1.0 million of net proceeds pursuant to the ATM. Proceeds from the ATM were used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $248.9 million of aggregate purchase price remaining under its ATM.

Equity Plans—During the third quarter 2018, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan providing for grants of interests (called “Caret Units”) in a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership intended to constitute profits interests within the meaning of relevant Internal Revenue Service guidance. The Company’s shareholders approved the plan in the second quarter of 2019. Grants under the plan were subject to graduated vesting based on time and hurdles of the Company’s common stock price. Once a particular stock price hurdle is met, a portion of the awards become vested, but remain subject to being forfeited, in part, if additional time-based service conditions are not satisfied. The awards generally entitle plan participants to cash distributions of up to 15%, in the aggregate, of the capital appreciation above the Company’s investment basis on its Ground Lease assets received upon the sale of a Ground Lease, the sale of a combined property and certain non-recourse mortgage debt refinancings of a Ground Lease. The Company owns 84% of the Caret Units (refer to Note 3). At the time of plan adoption, awards with an aggregate fair value of $1.4 million were granted to the Company’s non-management directors and employees of the Manager and will be recognized over a period of four years. As of March 31, 2022, all stock price hurdles were achieved and each outstanding award is fully vested. In February 2020 and

March 2020, the Company granted awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to employees of the Manager. The awards granted in February 2020 will cliff vest in December 2022 and the awards granted in March 2020, which were granted to one employee of the Manager, vest over three years upon satisfaction of continuing service conditions. As of March 31, 2022, 12% of the awards granted in March 2020 had vested and 88% of the awards were forfeited. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in expense from Caret Units and it is recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and “Noncontrolling interests” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In August 2021, in order to ensure that the interests of the non-management directors are best aligned with the interests of the Company’s common shareholders, each of the non-management directors (or, in the case of two directors, their affiliated trusts to which the Caret Units had been issued) entered into agreements to exchange their Caret Units that were granted at the time of plan adoption into shares of the Company’s common stock. Effective December 1, 2021, each non-management director (or, in the case of two directors, their affiliated trusts to which the Caret Units had been issued) exchanged 3,750 Caret Units for 2,546 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s board of directors approved the exchanges having considered the report of a leading independent valuation firm.

The Company adopted an equity incentive plan to provide equity incentive opportunities to members of the Manager’s management team and employees who perform services for the Company, the Company’s non-management directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel (the “2017 Equity Incentive Plan”). The 2017 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, shares of restricted common stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards, including long-term incentive plan units. In the second quarter 2021, the Company issued 16,000 fully-vested shares with a fair value of $1.1 million, or $69.86 per share, to its directors who are not employees of the Manager or iStar in consideration for their annual services as directors. In the second quarter 2020, the Company issued 22,000 fully-vested shares with a fair value of $1.0 million, or $46.94 per share, to its directors who are not employees of the Manager or iStar in consideration for their annual services as directors. In the first quarter 2019, the Company granted 25,000 restricted stock units with a fair value of $0.5 million, or $19.15 per share, under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to an employee of the Manager, representing the right to receive 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which vested in January 2022. Grants under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan are recognized as compensation costs ratably over the applicable vesting period and recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022, an aggregate of 724,500 shares remain available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.

Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests includes unrelated third-party equity interests in ventures that are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and Caret Units that have been granted to employees of the Company’s Manager.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net unrealized gains (losses) on the Company’s derivative transactions.

Dividends—The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. To qualify 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. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company

declared cash dividends on its common stock of $10.5 million, or $0.17 per share, and $8.6 million, or $0.16224 per share, respectively.

The entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income. Includes, but is not limited to, balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings, accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and amount of comprehensive income.

Note 13—Related Party Transactions

The Company is externally managed by an affiliate of iStar, the Company’s largest shareholder. iStar has been an active real estate investor for over 20 years and has an extensive network for sourcing investments, which includes relationships with brokers, corporate tenants and developers that it has established over its long operating history.

Management Agreement

A summary of the terms of the management agreement is below:


Manager		SFTY Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of iStar Inc.
Management Fee		Annual fee of 1.00% of total equity (up to $1.5 billion) Annual fee of 1.25% of total equity (for incremental equity of $1.5 billion to $3.0 billion) Annual fee of 1.375% of total equity (for incremental equity of $3.0 billion to $5.0 billion) and Annual fee of 1.5% of total equity (for incremental equity over $5.0 billion)
Management Fee Consideration		At the discretion of the Company’s independent directors, payment will be made in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at the greater of: (i) the volume weighted average market price during a specified pricing period; or (ii) the initial public offering price of $20.00 per share)
Lock-up		Restriction from selling common stock received for management fees for two years from the date of such issuance (restriction will terminate in the event of and effective with the termination of the management agreement)
Incentive Fee		None
Term		Non-terminable through June 30, 2023, except for cause. Automatic annual renewals thereafter, subject to non-renewal upon certain findings by the Company’s independent directors and payment of termination fee.
Termination Fee		3x prior year’s management fee

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in management fees to the Manager. These management fees are recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Expense Reimbursements

The Company pays, or reimburses the Manager for, certain of the Company’s operating expenses as well as the costs of personnel performing certain legal, accounting, finance, due diligence tasks and other services, in each case except those specifically required to be borne or elected not to be charged by the Manager under the management agreement. Historically, pursuant to the Manager’s option under the management agreement, the Manager has elected to not seek reimbursement for certain expenses. This historical election is not a waiver of reimbursement for similar expenses in future periods and the Manager has started to elect to seek, and may further seek in the future, reimbursement of such additional expenses that it has not previously sought, including, without limitation, rent, overhead and certain personnel costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was allocated $3.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in expenses from the Manager. These expenses are recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisitions and Commitments

iStar has participated in certain of the Company’s investment transactions, as the Company’s tenant or either as a seller of land or by providing financing to the Company’s Ground Lease tenants. Following is a list of transactions in which the Company and iStar or other persons deemed to be related parties have participated for the periods presented.

These transactions were approved by the Company’s independent directors in accordance with the Company’s policy with respect to related party transactions.

In March 2022, the Company acquired land for a purchase price of $28.5 million and simultaneously structured and entered into a Ground Lease as part of the Ground Lease tenant’s recapitalization of a hotel property. One of the Company’s independent directors has an indirect ownership interest in the entity that is the Ground Lease tenant and controls the company that indirectly manages that entity.

In March 2022, the Company paid iStar $0.3 million to terminate a purchase option that allowed iStar to purchase the land at the expiration of its Ground Lease with the Company. iStar sold the leasehold to a third party in March 2022.

In March 2022, the Company acquired three land properties from iStar for a total purchase price of $122.0 million and simultaneously structured and entered into three Ground Lease’s directly with the Ground Lease tenant.

In February 2022, the Company acquired land and simultaneously structured and entered into a Ground Lease as part of the Ground Lease tenant’s recapitalization of a life science office development property. A venture in which iStar owns a noncontrolling equity interest and an affiliate of an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) owns a noncontrolling equity interest committed to provide a $130.0 million loan to the Company’s Ground Lease tenant for the recapitalization of the leasehold. The Company paid the venture $9.0 million of additional consideration in connection with this investment.

In January 2022, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which it agreed to acquire land and a related Ground Lease originated by iStar when certain construction related conditions are met by a specified time period. The purchase price to be paid is a maximum of $36.0 million, plus an amount necessary for iStar to achieve the greater of a 1.05x multiple or a 10% return on its investment.

In December 2021, the Company acquired land for a purchase price of $56.5 million and simultaneously structured and entered into a Ground Lease as part of the Ground Lease tenant’s recapitalization of an existing multifamily property. Prior to the recapitalization, iStar and the Ground Lease tenant owned the property through a venture. As part of the recapitalization, the Ground Lease tenant acquired iStar’s equity interest in the venture and repaid a mezzanine loan iStar had provided to the venture in August 2018.

In November 2021, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which it agreed to acquire land and a related Ground Lease originated by iStar when certain construction related conditions are met by a specified time period. The purchase price to be paid is $33.3 million, plus an amount necessary for iStar to achieve the greater of a 1.25x multiple or a 12% return on its investment. In addition, the Ground Lease documents contain future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant of approximately $51.8 million of leasehold improvement allowance upon achievement of certain milestones. In December 2021, iStar contributed the Ground Lease to an investment fund it formed that targets the origination and acquisition of Ground Leases for commercial real estate projects that are in a pre-development phase. iStar has a noncontrolling interest in the investment fund and an affiliate of an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) has a noncontrolling interest in the investment fund. The terms of the Company’s commitment under the agreement did not change upon iStar’s contribution of the Ground Lease to the investment fund. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied and that the Company will acquire the Ground Lease from the investment fund.

In June 2021, the Company acquired from iStar a purchase option agreement for $1.2 million, which amount was equal to the deposit previously made by iStar under such option agreement plus assumption of iStar’s out of pocket costs and expenses in connection with entering into such option agreement. Under the option agreement, the Company has the

right to acquire for $215.0 million a property that is under a separate option for the benefit of a third party, whereby such third party has the right to enter into a Ground Lease and develop approximately 1.1 million square feet of office space.

In June 2021, the Company entered into two agreements pursuant to each of which it agreed to acquire land and a related Ground Lease originated by iStar when certain construction related conditions are met by a specified time period. The purchase price to be paid for each is $42.0 million, plus an amount necessary for iStar to achieve the greater of a 1.25x multiple and a 9% return on its investment. In addition, each Ground Lease provides for a leasehold improvement allowance up to a maximum of $83.0 million, which obligation would be assumed by the Company upon acquisition. In January 2022, iStar sold the Ground Leases to an investment fund in which iStar owns a noncontrolling interest and an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) owns a noncontrolling interest. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied and that the Company will acquire the properties and Ground Leases from the investment fund.

In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions being met, it agreed to acquire 100% of the limited liability company interests in the owner of a fee estate subject to a Ground Lease on which a multi-family project is currently being constructed. In March 2021, iStar originated a $75.0 million construction loan commitment to the Ground Lease tenant and acquired the Ground Lease for $16.1 million. iStar subsequently sold the loan commitment to an entity in which it has a noncontrolling interest and an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors) owns a noncontrolling interest. The Ground Lease documents contained 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. Subsequent to the origination, iStar funded approximately $6.0 million of the deferred purchase price to the Ground Lease tenant. The Company’s acquisition of the ground lessor entity closed in September 2021. The total consideration paid was $24.8 million and the Company assumed the obligation for the remaining future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant.

In February 2021, the Company acquired land and simultaneously structured and entered into a Ground Lease as part of the Ground Lease tenant’s recapitalization of an existing hotel property. iStar provided a $50.0 million loan to the Company’s Ground Lease tenant for the recapitalization of the leasehold. The Company paid iStar $1.9 million of additional consideration in connection with this investment.

Exchange of Caret Units

In August 2021, in order to ensure that the interests of the non-management directors are best aligned with the interests of the Company’s common shareholders, each of the non-management directors (or, in the case of two directors, their affiliated trusts to which the Caret Units had been issued) entered into agreements to exchange their Caret Units (refer to Note 11) that were granted at the time of plan adoption into shares of the Company’s common stock. Effective December 1, 2021, each non-management director exchanged 3,750 Caret Units for 2,546 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s board of directors approved the exchanges having considered the report of a leading independent valuation firm.

In February 2022, the Company sold an aggregate of 108,571 Caret Units, 1.08% of the authorized Caret Units, to a group of investors (refer to Note 3). The investor group includes an affiliate of an existing shareholder (which is affiliated with one of the Company’s independent directors), which made a commitment to purchase 28,571 Caret Units, or 0.29% of the authorized Caret Units, for a purchase price of $5.0 million.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	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, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).
Use of Estimates	The preparation of these consolidated 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.
Principles of Combination and Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair values	Fair Values—The Company is required to disclose fair value information with regard to its financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 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). The Company determines the estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions.
New accounting pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) which was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments held by a reporting entity. This new standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public entities such as the Company that qualified as smaller reporting companies prior to December 31, 2019, ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”) to clarify certain accounting topics from previously issued ASUs, including ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-04 addresses certain aspects of ASU 2016-13, including but not limited to, accrued interest receivable, loan recoveries, interest rate projections for variable-rate financial instruments and expected prepayments. ASU 2019-04 provides alternatives that allow entities to measure credit losses on accrued interest separate from credit losses on the principal portion of a loan, clarifies that entities should include expected recoveries in the measurement of credit losses, allows entities to consider future interest rates when measuring credit losses and can elect to adjust effective interest rates used to discount expected cash flows for expected loan prepayments. ASU 2019-04 is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
