Forward-Looking Statements and Other Matters
This release may contain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “illustrative”, “representative”,
“expect”, “plan”, “will”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “believe”, and other similar expressions that do not relate to historical
matters. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views about future events, and are subject to numerous
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause Company’s actual results to
differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the
transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others,
could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking
statements: market demand for ground lease capital; the Company’s ability to source new ground lease investments; risks that
the rent adjustment clauses in the Company's leases will not adequately keep up with changes in market value and inflation; risks
associated with certain tenant and industry concentrations in our initial portfolio; conflicts of interest and other risks associated
with the Company's external management structure and its relationships with iStar and other significant investors; risks
associated with using debt to fund the Company’s business activities (including changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads,
and refinancing and interest rate risks); general risks affecting the real estate industry and local real estate markets (including,
without limitation, the potential inability to enter into or renew ground leases at favorable rates, including with respect to
contractual rate increases or participating rent); dependence on the creditworthiness of our tenants and their financial condition
and operating performance; competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate (including life insurance
companies, pension funds, high net worth investors, sovereign wealth funds, mortgage REITs, private equity funds and separate
accounts); unknown liabilities acquired in connection with real estate; and risks associated with our failure to qualify for
taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and any subsequent reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for further discussion of these and other investment considerations. The Company expressly
disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Value Bank of $1.2B or $66 per Share
Value Bank is calculated as today’s estimated Combined
Property Value (CPV) less SAFE’s Ground Lease Basis
SAFE uses Value Bank to track the capital appreciation
potential at lease expiration from our rights to acquire the
buildings on our land.(1)
(1) Our ability to recognize value through reversion rights may be limited by the rights of our tenants under some of our ground leases, including tenant
rights to purchase the properties or level properties under certain circumstances. Refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April
26, 2018 and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated from time to time in our subsequent
periodic reports, filed with the SEC, for a further discussion of such tenants rights.
(2) SAFE may utilize management’s estimate of CPV for ground lease investments recently acquired that CBRE has not yet appraised. Refer to our 8-K
filed April 26, 2018 with the SEC for additional detail on CBRE’s valuation and our calculation of Value Bank.

Ground Lease Basis Ground Lease Basis is the historical purchase price paid by SAFE to acquire or originate a ground lease.
Combined Property Value (CPV)
The current combined value of the land, buildings and improvements relating to a commercial property, as if there was no
ground lease on the land at the property. CPV is based on independent appraisals by CBRE. The Company will use
management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals from CBRE are not yet
available.
Basis as % of CPV
Calculated as our Ground Lease Basis divided by CPV. We believe the metric is an indicative measure of the safety of our
position in a real estate property’s capital structure and represents our last-dollar economic exposure to the underlying
property values.
Value Bank
Calculated as the difference between CPV and Ground Lease Basis. We believe Value Bank represents additional potential
value to SAFE stockholders through the reversion rights embedded in standard ground leases.
Ground Rent Coverage
The ratio of Underlying Property NOI or Estimate Underlying Property NOI to the annualized base rental payment due to
us. We believe the metric is indicative of our seniority in a property’s cash flow waterfall. Underlying Property NOI is
based on information reported to us by our tenants without any independent investigation or verification by us.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
FFO is calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) which defines
FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable operating
property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
Calculated by adding (or subtracting) to FFO the following items: straight-line rental income, the amortization of real
estate-related intangibles, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs, non-cash management fees, and expense
reimbursements, the amortization of deferred financing costs and other expenses related to debt obligations.

Appendix
Glossary – (cont’d)
Underlying Property NOI
With respect to a property, the net operating income of the commercial real estate being operated at the property without
giving effect to any rent paid or payable under our ground lease. Net operating income is calculated as property-level
revenues less property-level operating expenses as reported to us by the tenant, or as otherwise publicly available. We rely
on net operating income as reported to us by our tenants without any independent investigation by us, or as otherwise
publicly available. Note that figures denoted by Underlying Property NOI include One Ally using the source: Prospectus,
dated December 14, 2017, of the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-C42.
Leverage The ratio of book debt to book equity.
Estimated Underlying Property NOI
Management utilizes (i) estimated underlying property net operating income (NOI) in situations where actual underlying
property NOI is unavailable and (ii) projected stabilized property NOI when a project is under development. These figures
are based on leasing activity at the property and may include other available market information, such as comparable
properties or third party valuations.
