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 investments (refer to Note 8). The Company has invested 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 (refer to Note 3 - Net Lease Sale and Discontinued Operations), real estate finance, operating properties and land and development (refer to Note 17).
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, 2021 (the “2021 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 (refer to Note 3 – Net Lease Sale and Discontinued Operations) 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 “Net income from discontinued operations,” “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 did not have any unfunded commitments related to consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31,

2021. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands):

Unconsolidated VIEs—The Company has investments in VIEs where it is not the primary beneficiary and accordingly the VIEs have not been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss from these investments does not exceed the sum of the $
Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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
18
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.
The Company’s amortized cost basis in performing senior mortgages, corporate/partnership loans and subordinate mortgages, presented by year of origination and by credit quality, as indicated by risk rating, as of June 30, 2022 were as follows ($ in thousands):

Legal Proceedings—The Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is party to various pending litigation matters that are considered ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business as a finance and investment company focused on the commercial real estate industry, including foreclosure-related proceedings. 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.
Note 12—Derivatives
The Company’s use of derivative financial instruments has historically been limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and foreign exchange contracts. The principal objective of such financial instruments is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure and to manage its exposure to interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The Company may have derivatives that are not designated as hedges because they do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements. Although not designated as hedges, such derivatives are entered into to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks.

Note 16—Fair Values
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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).
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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are included with respect to, among other things, iStar Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) current business plan, business strategy, portfolio management, prospects and liquidity. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In assessing all forward-looking statements, readers are urged to read carefully all cautionary statements contained in this Form 10-Q and the uncertainties and risks described in Item 1A—"Risk Factors’’ in our 2021 Annual Report, all of which could affect our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. For purposes of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to iStar Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The discussion below should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our 2021 Annual Report. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance.
Executive Overview
Corporate Strategy. We continue to execute our stated corporate strategy which is to grow our Ground Lease and Ground Lease adjacent businesses and simplify our portfolio through sales of other assets. In March 2022, we, through certain subsidiaries of ours and entities managed by us, sold our portfolio of net lease assets for an aggregate gross sales price of $3.07 billion (the “Net Lease Sale”).
The portfolio sold consisted of office, entertainment and industrial properties located in the United States comprising approximately 18.3 million square feet. It included assets wholly-owned by us and assets owned by two joint ventures managed by us and in which we owned 51.9% interests. At the time of the sale, the portfolio was encumbered by an aggregate of $702 million of mortgage indebtedness, including indebtedness of equity method investments, which was repaid with proceeds from the sale. After repayment of the mortgage indebtedness and prepayment penalties, repayment of our Senior Term Loan (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements), payments to terminate derivative contracts, payments to joint venture partners, and payments of promotes, transaction expenses and amounts due under employee incentive plans, we retained net cash proceeds of $1.2 billion from the transaction. Two net lease properties were not included in the sale but were sold to other third parties in the first quarter 2022. Our net lease assets associated with our Ground Lease businesses were not included in the sale.
In April 2022, we completed separate, privately-negotiated transactions with holders of $194 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.125% Convertible Notes (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements) in which the noteholders exchanged their convertible notes with us for 13.75 million newly issued shares of our common stock and aggregate cash payments of $14 million. The 3.125% Convertible Senior Notes received by us were retired. We recognized a net increase in shareholders’ equity of $180.6 million inclusive of a $118.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with these transactions. The exchanges will strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to save interest expense, preserve cash on hand, reduce our outstanding debt and mitigate volatility on the trading price of our common stock as we approach the maturity of the remaining outstanding 3.125% Convertible Notes in September 2022.

Net Lease
Prior to the Net Lease Sale, our net lease business created stable cash flows through long-term net leases primarily to single tenants on our properties. We targeted mission-critical facilities leased on a long-term basis to tenants, offering structured solutions that combined our capabilities in underwriting, lease structuring, asset management and build-to-suit construction. Leases typically provide for expenses at the facility to be paid by the tenant on a triple net lease basis. Under a typical net lease agreement, the tenant agrees to pay a base monthly operating lease payment and most or all of the facility operating expenses (including taxes, utilities, maintenance and insurance).
After the Net Lease Sale, the net lease segment includes our Ground Lease investments made primarily through SAFE and our Ground Lease adjacent businesses.
44
As of June 30, 2022, our net lease portfolio consisted primarily of our equity method investments in SAFE and the Ground Lease Plus Fund. The table below provides certain statistics for our net lease portfolio.

SAFE—SAFE is a publicly-traded company that originates and acquires Ground Leases in order to generate attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns from its investments. We believe its business has characteristics comparable to a high-grade fixed income investment business, but with certain unique advantages. Relative to alternative fixed income investments generally, SAFE’s Ground Leases typically benefit from built-in growth derived from contractual rent escalators that may compound over the duration of the lease. These rent escalators may be based on fixed increases, a CPI lookback or a combination thereof, and may also include a participation in the gross revenues of the property. SAFE also has the opportunity to realize value from its right to regain possession of the buildings and other improvements on its land upon expiration or earlier termination of the lease at no additional cost. We believe that these features offer us the opportunity through our ownership in SAFE to realize superior risk-adjusted total returns when compared to certain alternative highly-rated investments. As of June 30, 2022, we owned approximately 64.7% of SAFE’s common stock outstanding.
We account for our investment in SAFE as an equity method investment (refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements). We act as SAFE’s external manager pursuant to a management agreement, and we have an exclusivity agreement with SAFE pursuant to which we agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that we will not acquire, originate, invest in, or provide financing for a third party’s acquisition of, a Ground Lease unless we have first offered that opportunity to SAFE and a majority of its independent directors has declined the opportunity.
Ground Lease Plus Fund—The Company formed and manages an investment fund that targets the origination and acquisition of Ground Leases for commercial real estate projects that are in a pre-development phase (the “Ground Lease Plus Fund”). We own a 53% noncontrolling interest in the Ground Lease Plus Fund. We do not have a controlling interest in the Ground Lease Plus Fund due to the substantive participating rights of our partner and account for this investment as an equity method investment. In addition, the Ground Lease Plus Fund has first look rights on qualifying pre-development projects through December 2023.
Real Estate Finance
Our real estate finance business targets sophisticated and innovative owner/operators of real estate and real estate related projects by providing one-stop capabilities that encompass financing alternatives ranging from full envelope senior loans to mezzanine and preferred equity capital positions. Our real estate finance portfolio consists of leasehold loans to Ground Lease tenants, including tenants of SAFE, senior mortgage loans that are secured by commercial and residential real estate assets where we are the first lien holder, subordinated mortgage loans that are secured by second lien or junior interests in commercial and residential real estate assets, and corporate/partnership loans, which represent mezzanine or subordinated loans to entities for which we do not have a lien on the underlying asset, but may have a pledge of underlying equity ownership of such assets. Our real estate finance portfolio includes Ground Leases, loans on stabilized and
45
transitional properties and ground-up construction projects. In addition, we also own loans through equity method investments and have preferred equity investments and debt securities classified as other lending investments.

Non-Performing Loans—We designate 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had one non-performing loan with a carrying value of $59.5 million and $59.1 million, respectively. We expect that our level of non-performing loans will fluctuate from period to period.
Allowance for Loan Losses—The allowance for loan losses was $3.0 million as of June 30, 2022, or 1.5% of total loans and other lending investments, compared to $4.8 million, or 1.4%, as of December 31, 2021. We expect that our level of Expected Losses will fluctuate from period to period. Due to the volatility of the commercial real estate market, the process of estimating collateral values and Expected Losses requires the use of significant judgment. We currently believe there is adequate collateral and allowances to support the carrying values of the loans and other lending investments.
46
The allowance for loan losses includes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component. An asset-specific allowance is established for an impaired loan when the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral less costs to sell is lower than the carrying value of the loan. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, asset-specific allowances were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
We estimate the formula-based component based on historical realized losses experienced within our portfolio and take into account current economic conditions affecting the commercial real estate market. In addition, we use third-party market data that includes forecasted economic trends, including unemployment rates.
The Expected Loss decreased to $2.3 million, or 1.6%, of performing loans and other lending investments as of June 30, 2022, compared to $4.2 million, or 1.5%, of performing loans and other lending investments as of December 31, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to the repayment of loans during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating Properties
Our operating properties represent a pool of assets across a broad range of geographies and property types including hotel, multifamily, retail, condominium and entertainment/leisure properties. As of June 30, 2022, the book value of our operating property portfolio, including the carrying value of our equity method investments, totaled $129.9 million.

Revenue—Operating lease income, which primarily includes income from commercial operating properties, decreased to $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of assets, partially offset by an increase in rent at certain of our properties.
Interest income decreased to $4.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $8.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of our performing loans and other lending investments, which was $242 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $371 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The weighted average yield on our performing loans and other lending investments was 7.0% and 8.4%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Interest income from sales-type leases increased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $0.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase resulted from the acquisition of a Ground Lease that was classified as a sales-type lease (refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).
Other income increased to $15.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $8.9 million for the same period in 2021. Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of income from our hotel properties, management fees and other ancillary income from our land and development projects and operating properties. Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2021 consisted primarily of a management fees, income from our hotel properties, other ancillary income from our land and development projects and loan portfolio and interest income on our cash.
Land development revenue and cost of sales—During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold land parcels and residential lots and units and recognized land development revenue of $24.4 million which had associated cost of sales of $24.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we sold residential lots and units and recognized land development revenue of $32.3 million which had associated cost of sales of $30.8 million.
48
Costs and expenses—Interest expense decreased to $24.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $28.6 million for the same period in 2021. Our weighted average cost of debt was 5.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 4.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average balance of our outstanding debt was $1.92 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $2.58 billion for the same period in 2021.
Real estate expense increased to $13.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $11.3 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses at certain of our hotel operating properties that have increased operations from the prior year, which was partially offset by asset sales.
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2021.
General and administrative expense includes payroll and related costs, performance-based compensation, public company costs and occupancy costs. We recognized a net recovery of general and administrative expenses of ($5.2) million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus $30.4 million of expense for the same period in 2021. The decrease in 2022 was due primarily to a $35.5 million decrease in performance-based compensation. Our primary forms of performance-based compensation are our iPIP Plans and our annual bonus pool (refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the iPIP Plans). In addition, illustrative examples of our iPIP Plans may be found in our 2021 definitive proxy statement which is publicly available on the SEC’s website.
The provision for loan losses was $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to a recovery of loan losses of $2.2 million for the same period in 2021. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted primarily from a $25.0 million provision on our held-to-maturity security, which is now recorded at its expected repayment proceeds. The recovery of loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from the reversal of Expected Loss allowances on loans that repaid in full in the second quarter 2021 and from an improving macroeconomic forecast on commercial real estate markets since March 31, 2021.
The provision for losses on net investment in leases for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted from the macroeconomic forecast on commercial real estate markets. The provision for losses on net investment in leases for the three months ended June 30, 2021 resulted from the acquisition of two Ground Leases in June 2021 (refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an impairment of $1.8 million on an operating property based on the expected cash flows to be received.
Other expense was $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to legal costs.
Income from sales of real estate—During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $0.1 million of income from sales of real estate from the sale of residential condominiums.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt, net—During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt of $116.6 million resulting from the redemption of our unsecured notes (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements).
Earnings from equity method investments—Earnings from equity method investments increased to $19.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $11.1 million for the same period in 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $14.7 million of income from our equity method investment in SAFE, $4.3 million primarily from the settlement of our interest in a venture and $0.4 million of net aggregate income from our remaining equity method investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $9.7 million of income from our equity method investment in SAFE and $1.4 million of net aggregate income from our remaining equity method investments.
49
Income tax (expense) benefit—Income tax expense of $0.6 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and related primarily to a reduction in the amount of expected refund of alternative minimum taxes due us resulting from amended tax returns from prior periods net operating loss carrybacks.
Net income from discontinued operations—In March 2022, we closed on the sale of the majority of our net lease properties owned directly and through ventures. Our net lease assets were comprised of office, entertainment and industrial properties located in the United States. Our net lease assets associated with our Ground Lease businesses were not included in the sale. Net income from discontinued operations represents the operating results from the net lease assets that are not associated with our Ground Lease businesses (refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements - Net Lease Sale and Discontinued Operations).

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.0 million for the same period in 2021.
General and administrative expense includes payroll and related costs, performance-based compensation, public company costs and occupancy costs. We recognized a net recovery of general and administrative expenses of ($3.9) million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus $51.8 million of expense for the same period in 2021. The decrease in 2022 was due primarily to a $54.7 million decrease in performance-based compensation. Our primary forms of performance-based compensation are our iPIP Plans and our annual bonus pool (refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the iPIP Plans). In addition, illustrative examples of our iPIP Plans may be found in our 2021 definitive proxy statement which is publicly available on the SEC’s website.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an impairment of $1.8 million on an operating property based on the expected cash flows to be received. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an aggregate impairment of $0.3 million in connection with the sale of residential condominiums.
Other expense was $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to legal costs.
Income from sales of real estate—During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $0.5 million of income from sales of real estate primarily from the sale of Ground Leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $0.7 million of income from sales of real estate from the sale of residential condominiums.
51
Loss on early extinguishment of debt, net—During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt of $118.0 million resulting from the redemption of our unsecured notes (refer to Note 3 and Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements) and the repayment of our senior term loan in connection with our Net Lease Sale.
Earnings from equity method investments—Earnings from equity method investments increased to $44.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $22.9 million for the same period in 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $31.7 million of income from our equity method investment in SAFE, $5.0 million primarily from the settlement of our interest in a venture and $7.7 million of net aggregate income from our remaining equity method investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $21.1 million of income from our equity method investment in SAFE and $1.8 million of net aggregate income from our remaining equity method investments.
Income tax (expense) benefit—Income tax benefit of $0.1 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and related primarily to refunds due us for alternative minimum taxes paid in prior periods.
Net income from discontinued operations—In March 2022, we closed on the sale of the majority of our net lease properties owned directly and through ventures. Our net lease assets were comprised of office, entertainment and industrial properties located in the United States. Our net lease assets associated with our Ground Lease businesses were not included in the sale. Net income from discontinued operations represents the operating results from the net lease assets that are not associated with our Ground Lease businesses (refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements - Net Lease Sale and Discontinued Operations).
Adjusted Earnings
In 2019, we announced a new business strategy that would focus our management personnel and our investment resources primarily on scaling our Ground Lease platform. As part of this strategy, we accelerated the monetization of legacy assets and deployed a substantial portion of 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 assess our execution of this strategy and the performance of our operations.
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 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 proportionate share of depreciation and amortization from equity method investments and excluding depreciation and amortization allocable to noncontrolling interests, stock-based 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 stock (“Adjusted Earnings”).
52
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 alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)), or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, nor is 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 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 manner of calculating Adjusted Earnings may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had unrestricted cash of $1.4 billion and $350.0 million of borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our primary cash uses over the next 12 months are expected to be funding of investments in our Ground Lease and Ground Lease adjacent businesses, repayment of debt obligations (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements), capital expenditures on legacy assets, distributions to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases and funding ongoing business operations, including operating lease payments (refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements). The amount we actually invest will depend on the closing of asset sales, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, interest rate increases, market volatility and other macroeconomic factors on our business.
In April 2022, we completed separate, privately-negotiated transactions with holders of $194 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.125% convertible notes (refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements) in which the noteholders exchanged their convertible notes with us for 13.75 million newly issued shares of our common stock and aggregate cash payments of $14 million. Our remaining $94 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.125% convertible notes mature in September 2022, and we must repay them in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We also had approximately $161.1 million of maximum unfunded commitments associated with our investments as of June 30, 2022, of which we expect to fund the majority of over the next two years, assuming borrowers and tenants meet all milestones, performance hurdles and all other conditions to fundings (see “Unfunded Commitments” below). We also have approximately $108.3 million principal amount of scheduled real estate finance maturities over the next 12 months, exclusive of any extension options that can be exercised by our borrowers.
We expect that we will be able to meet our liquidity requirements over the next 12 months and for the reasonably foreseeable future. Our capital sources to meet such cash requirements are expected to include cash on hand, Revolving Credit Facility borrowings, income from our portfolio, loan repayments from borrowers and proceeds from asset sales. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and changes in market conditions.
We also have amounts due under our liability-classified and equity-classified iPIP Plans. We currently estimate the total amount due under our iPIP Plans to be $133 million, assuming SAFE is valued at a price of $35.37 per share and our other assets perform with current underwriting expectations. Of this amount, $60 million has been accrued in our financial
53
statements (refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements). Distributions on our iPIP Plans are expected to be 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our common stock; provided, however, that (a) the cash portion will be increased if we do not have sufficient shares available under shareholder approved equity plans; and (b) if the principal remaining material asset in a plan is unsold SAFE shares, we may elect to distribute SAFE shares in lieu of cash and our common stock. Additional information on our iPIP Plans can be found in our 2021 Annual Report and our 2021 Proxy Statement, both of which are available on our website.
The following table outlines our cash flows provided by operating activities, cash flows used in investing activities and cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 ($ in thousands):
| For the Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||
2022 |
| 2021 | |||||
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 27,381 | $ | (44,962) | |||
Cash flows provided by investing activities | 2,625,122 | 183,978 | |||||
Cash flows used in financing activities | (1,640,612) | (81,101) |
The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities during 2022 was due primarily to an increase in distributions of earnings from other investments in 2022, which was partially offset by iPIP Plan payments and a decrease in the amount of deferred interest on loans collected in 2022 versus 2021. The increases in cash flows provided by investing activities and cash flows used in financing activities during 2022 was due primarily to the Net Lease Sale (refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).
Debt Covenants—Our 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 1.3x and a covenant restricting certain incurrences of debt based on a fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of our covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of our debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains 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. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a borrowing base of assets and requires us to maintain both borrowing base asset value of at least 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility and a consolidated ratio of cash flow to fixed charges of at least 1.5x. 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 1.5x outstanding borrowings on the facility. To satisfy this covenant, we have the option to pay down outstanding borrowings or substitute assets in the borrowing base. Under the Revolving Credit Facility we are 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 we remain in compliance with our financial covenants after giving effect to the dividend. We declared common stock dividends of $19.2 million, or $0.25 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Derivatives—Our use of derivative financial instruments, if necessary, has primarily been limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposure and foreign exchange contracts to manage our risk to changes in foreign currencies. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Unfunded Commitments—We generally fund 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. We refer to these arrangements as Performance-Based Commitments. In addition, we have
54
committed to invest capital in several real estate funds and other ventures. These arrangements are referred to as Strategic Investments.
As of June 30, 2022, the maximum amount of fundings we may be obligated to make under each category, assuming all performance hurdles and milestones are met under the Performance-Based Commitments and assuming that 100% of our capital committed to Strategic Investments is drawn down, are as follows (in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Program—We may repurchase shares in negotiated transactions or open market transactions, including through one or more trading plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $32.4 million, for an average cost of $17.57 per share. We are generally authorized to repurchase up to $50.0 million in shares of our common stock and in February 2022, our board of directors authorized an increase to the stock repurchase program to $50.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $50.0 million of common stock under our stock repurchase program.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. We base our estimates on historical corporate and industry experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and, therefore, routinely require adjustment.
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risks
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our operating results will depend in part on the difference between the interest and related income earned on our assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with our interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets will affect the spread between our floating rate assets and liabilities subject to the net amount of floating rate assets/liabilities and the impact of interest rate floors and caps. Any significant compression of the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities could have a material adverse effect on us.
In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment or economic downturn, defaults could increase and cause us to incur additional credit losses which would adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Such delinquencies or defaults would likely have a material adverse effect on the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, an increase in interest rates could, among other things, reduce the value of our fixed-rate interest-bearing assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. We monitor the spreads between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and may implement hedging strategies to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations, including engaging in interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and other interest rate-related derivative contracts. Such strategies are designed to reduce our exposure, on specific transactions or on a portfolio basis, to changes in cash flows as a result of interest rate movements in the market. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes or as a hedge against changes in our credit risk or the credit risk of our borrowers.
While a REIT may utilize derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk on its liabilities incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets without generating non-qualifying income, use of derivatives for other purposes will generate non-qualified income for REIT income test purposes. This includes hedging asset related risks such as credit and interest rate exposure on our loan assets. As a result, our ability to hedge these types of risks is limited. There can be no assurance that our profitability will not be materially adversely affected during any period as a result of changing interest rates.
The following table quantifies the potential changes in annual net income, assuming no change in our interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, should interest rates decrease or increase by 10, 50 or 100 basis points, assuming no change in the shape of the yield curve (i.e., relative interest rates). The base interest rate scenario assumes the one-month LIBOR rate of 1.79% as of June 30, 2022. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company has formed a disclosure committee that is responsible for considering the materiality of information and determining the disclosure obligations of the Company on a timely basis. The disclosure committee reports directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the disclosure committee and other members of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
