Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously announced on November 12, 2025, Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (the “Company”), and First Western SBLC, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (formerly known as First Western SBLC, Inc.) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Western”), entered into a membership interest purchase agreement, dated as of November 6, 2025 (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”), with PG FR Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”). The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”) occurred on January 21, 2026. At the Closing, pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Buyer purchased from the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of First Western SBLC, LLC for a purchase price of approximately $44.9 million (which is net of the outstanding balance of debt related to the 2023 securitization of certain loan receivables), subject to adjustment. At the Closing and upon giving effect to the payment of other debt, transaction expenses and other matters, the Transactions yielded net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $31.2 million.

The foregoing description of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 22, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Closing. A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except in the event that the Company expressly states that such information is to be considered filed under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by specific reference in such filing.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Explanatory Note

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company is providing the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 related to the Transactions.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2025 is presented as if the Closing had occurred on September 30, 2025. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are presented as if the Closing had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial position and results of operations of the Company as of and for the periods indicated; however, the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred nor do they purport to represent the financial position or results of operations for future periods. The retrospectively adjusted financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods when reported in the post-sale periodic reports may differ from the pro forma financial statements presented herein. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes accompanying the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not include the impact of any strategies that management may have considered in order to efficiently manage the Company's operations had the sale occurred on January 1, 2024. Pro forma adjustments have not been made in the accompanying pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the estimated gain on disposition resulting from the sale, for any payments resulting from the sale, or for the use of proceeds resulting from the sale.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS

The transaction accounting adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information:

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025

(a) Reflects the Company’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, which was included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2025.

(b) Reflects the Company’s historical financial position related to First Western as of September 30, 2025, except for certain of the pro forma adjustments described below that are a direct result of the transaction.

Distributions in excess of earnings

(c) Reflects the net cash proceeds from the sale of First Western, as of September 30, 2025, net of the transaction costs directly attributable to the sale. Such net proceeds are also reduced by (i) the repayment of First Western’s credit facility secured by certain of its loans receivable (the “Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility”), together with all accrued interest as of the balance sheet date, (ii) severance costs incurred as a result of the transaction, (iii) certain estimated federal and state tax liabilities resulting from the transaction, and (iv) the payment of accrued expense reimbursements due to CIM Group entities as of the balance sheet date. These pro forma adjustments do not include any adjustment related to the unrestricted cash balance of First Western, as this cash is assumed to be retained by the Company following the disposition.

(d) Reflects debt, net of deferred financing costs, associated with First Western included in the Transactions, as well as the Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility, which is assumed to be repaid in conjunction with the Transactions.

(e) Reflects the excess of net cash proceeds from the sale of First Western over the carrying value, as of September 30, 2025, of the assets net of liabilities of First Western as well as the loss on early extinguishment of debt associated with the assumed repayment of the Lending Division Revolving Credit Facility. This amount has not been reflected in the pro forma consolidated statements of operations as it is considered to be nonrecurring in nature.

Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and the Year Ended December 31, 2024.

(a) Reflects the historical unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which were included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025.

(b) Reflects the Company’s historical results of operations related to First Western for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except the pro forma adjustments described below that are a direct result of the transaction.

Asset management and other fees to related parties

(c) For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the impact of the Transactions would result in a decrease in the Base Fee for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $32,000, resulting from an assumed reduction in the average of the Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders for the period.

(d) For the year ended December 31, 2024, the impact of the Transactions would result in a decrease in the Base Fee for the year ended December 31, 2024 of approximately $42,000, resulting from an assumed reduction in the average of the Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders for the period.
