iStar Overview iStar’s strategy remains focused on the growth of the Ground Lease Ecosystem 5 (1) Q4 ‘22 SAFE market value of iStar’s investment in SAFE is $1,087m, calculated as iStar’s ownership of 33.9m shares of SAFE at the February 17, 2023 closing stock price of $32.11 which represents a $150m discount to the carrying value. iStar owns approximately 54% of SAFE’s common stock and there can be no assurance that iStar would realize $32.11 or any other closing price on a particular day if it were to seek to liquidate SAFE shares. (2) Represents an estimate for the value of the total potential iPIP distribution less the amounts already accrued for as of December 31, 2022, assuming SAFE is valued at a price of $32.11 per share and the Company’s other assets perform in line with current underwriting expectations. Please see the “Supplemental iPIP Information” in the Appendix for additional details and sensitivity analysis. These plans will be terminated and amounts due will be paid out in connection with the closing of the merger and related transactions. Amounts paid in connection with the merger will depend in part on the market price of SAFE common stock at the time and may exceed the iPIP liability amount accrued and estimated in this presentation.

Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation 17 Note: $ in thousands. 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”). 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. 2022 2021 2022 2021 ($86,709) $7,077 $397,792 $108,985 3,753 15,838 15,359 66,629 3,060 45,961 (27,664) 69,261 - - 136,464 - ($79,896) $68,876 $521,951 $244,875 For The Three Months For The Years Ended December 31, Ended December 31, Net income allocable to Common Shareholders Add: Depreciation and amortization Add: Stock-based compensation expense Add: Loss on early extinguishment of debt Adjusted earnings (losses) allocable to common shareholders

Supplemental iPIP Information Note: $ in thousands. Figures in this table may not foot due to rounding. (1) Market value of iStar’s investment in Safehold is $1,087m, calculated as iStar’s ownership of 33.9m shares of SAFE at the February 17, 2023 closing stock price of $32.11. (2) Represents an estimate for the value of the total potential iPIP distribution less the amounts already accrued for as of December 31, 2022, assuming SAFE is valued at a price of $32.11 per share and the Company’s other assets perform in line with current underwriting expectations. Amounts paid in connection with the merger will depend in part on the market price of SAFE common stock at the time and may exceed the iPIP liability amount accrued and estimated in this presentation. 20 As of December 31, 2022 Total Equity $1,426,897 Less: Non controlling interests (18,379) Less: Preferred equity (305,000) Total Common Equity 1,103,518 Less: SAFE mark-to-market adjustment (1) (149,951) Less: Incremental iPIP amount (2) (44,516) Total Common Equity (as adjusted) $909,051 Shares Outstanding 86,724 Common Equity per share (as adjusted) $10.48 Sensitivity analysis Change in price of SAFE common stock +$10 -$10 Change in incremental iPIP amount ($38,017) $41,482 Change in SAFE mark-to-market adj. 338,566 (338,566) Change in total common equity (as adjusted) $300,549 ($297,084) Common Equity Per Share Impact $3.47 ($3.43) The presentation above includes non-GAAP financial measures. It should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The supplemental presentation is not intended to replace the GAAP financial statements. It is intended to be supplemental information to provide investors in the Company’s securities with additional information about the Company’s financial position. Under the iPIP program, participants who hold vested interests are entitled to receive 20% of the disposition (or deemed disposition) proceeds of Company assets after the Company has received a specified minimum return, subject to reduction based on the Company’s total stockholder return. If the Company’s shares of SAFE common stock are the last material asset in an iPIP pool, the Company may elect not to sell the shares and in lieu thereof to distribute a portion of the shares to iPIP participants having a value based on the cash proceeds that would have been received by the Company from an actual sale of the SAFE shares. There can be no assurance that the actual market prices of SAFE common stock or other Company assets in the future will align with the assumptions used to prepare the supplemental presentation. The Company owns 33.9m shares of SAFE, representing 54.3% of SAFE’s shares outstanding. Given the substantial interest, the Company may not be able to liquidate its investment at the closing price of $32.11 from February 17, 2023 or on any other day. The sensitivity analysis shown above is intended to give readers a sense of how the potential iPIP distributions may change as the market price of SAFE common stock changes because the shares of SAFE common stock owned by iStar are the largest asset in the iPIP plans. It is not intended to be a prediction of what the actual iPIP distributions may be. There are factors in addition to the market price of SAFE common stock that will affect the potential iPIP distributions that are not taken into account in the sensitivity analysis, including, without limitation, changes in the market price of iStar common stock and the performance of the other assets in the iPIP plans. For additional information about the iPIP program, please read the company’s definitive Proxy Statement for its 2021 annual meeting filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021, and the definitive Proxy Statement for the 2022 annual meeting filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022.
