Forward-looking Statements

The information set forth herein contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth of our business and availability of funds.

Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forwardlooking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "target," "expect," "intend," "might," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would," "continue," "pursue," "potential," "forecast," "seek," "plan," "opportunity," "should", or "goal" or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about CMCT's plans and objectives relating to future growth and outlook. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT's management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT's development activities, (ii) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (iii) fluctuations in market rents, (iv) the effects of inflation and continuing higher interest rates on the operations and profitability of CMCT and (v) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT's actual results to differ materially from CMCT's expectations are discussed in "Item 1A—Risk Factors" in CMCT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond CMCT's control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forwardlooking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forwardlooking statements expressed or implied will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements expressed or implied herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by CMCT or any other person that CMCT's objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable laws.

(1) We have commenced lease negotiations with the tenant to sign a long-term lease for 236,692 of the existing 366,777 rentable square feet. There can be no guarantee that a lease extension will be executed. Taking into account the early termination right exercised by the tenant in 2023, 130,085 rentable square feet will expire on July 31, 2024, 152,966 rentable square feet will expire on February 28, 2025 and 83,696 rentable square feet will expire on February 28, 2027. With respect to the 83,696 rentable square feet that will expire in 2027, from and after February 28, 2025, the tenant has the right to terminate all or any portions of its lease with us, effective as of any date specified by the tenant in a written notice given to us at least 15 months prior to the termination, in exchange for a termination penalty.

(2) Includes 8,286 square feet of month-to-month leases as of December 31, 2023

Important Information - Debt and Preferred Summary

    1. Excludes: (a) 3.0 million of secured borrowings government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans that are treated as secured borrowing because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral, and (b) premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs.
    1. The Company's fixed rate mortgages payable are secured by a deed of trust on the properties underlying such mortgages and assignments of rents receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's fixed rate mortgages payable had fixed interest rates of 4.14% and 6.25% per annum, with payments of interest only due on July 1, 2026 and June 7, 2024, respectively. In regards to the mortgage payable maturing on June 7, 2024, there is a one-year extension option available which the Company expects to execute prior to maturity. These loans are nonrecourse. On December 21, 2023, the Company made a prepayment of \$13.0 million on one of its variable rate mortgages and refinanced the remaining \$66.6 million as a fixed rate mortgage.
    1. The Company's variable rate mortgage payable is secured by a deed of trust on the property and assignment of rents receivable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's variable rate mortgage payable had a variable interest rate of SOFR plus 3.36%, with monthly payments of interest only due on July 7, 2025 with extension option subject to certain conditions being met. The loan is nonrecourse.
    1. On March 9, 2023, the Company completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of its SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of \$54.1 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes (with net proceeds of approximately \$43.3 million, after payment of fees and expenses in connection with the securitization and the funding of a reserve account and an escrow account). The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes mature on March 20, 2048, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received.
    1. In December 2022, the Company refinanced its 2018 credit facility and replaced it with a new 2022 credit facility, entered into with a bank syndicate, that includes a \$56.2 million term loan (the "2022 Credit Facility Term Loan") as well as a revolver allowing the Company to borrow up to \$150.0 million (the "2022 Credit Facility Revolver"), both of which are collectively subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2022 credit facility is secured by properties in the Company's real estate portfolio: six office properties and one hotel property (as well as the hotel's adjacent parking garage and retail property). The 2022 credit facility bears interest at (A) the base rate plus 1.50% or (B) SOFR plus 2.60%. As of September 30, 2023, the variable interest rate was 7.96%. The 2022 Credit Facility Revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2022 credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants. The 2022 credit facility matures in December 2025 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions, including providing notice of the election and paying an extension fee of 0.15% of each lender's commitment being extended on the effective date of such extension. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, \$53.0 million and \$150.0 million, respectively, was available for future borrowings.

Important Disclosures

Annualized Rent. represents gross monthly base rent, or gross monthly contractual rent under parking and retail leases, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail.

Assets Owned and Operated (AOO). represents the aggregate assets owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM contributes alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has discretion, in each case without duplication.

Property Pictures. The property/properties shown may not be representative of all transactions of a given type or of investments generally, may represent an investment/investments that performed better than other investments made by CIM-funds, is not necessarily indicative of the performance of all such investments by CIM-funds and is intended solely to be illustrative of the types of investments that may be made by CMCT. There can be no assurance similar investment opportunities will be available to CMCT or that CMCT will generate similar returns.

Logos. CIM Group is not affiliated with, associated with, or a sponsor of any of the tenants pictured or mentioned. The names, logos, and all related product and service names, design marks and slogans are the trademarks or service marks of their respective companies. The trade names shown are reflective of the tenants in properties owned by CMCT. Corporate tenants may also occupy numerous properties that are not owned by CMCT. CMCT is not affiliated or associated with, is not endorsed by, does not endorse, and is not sponsored by or a sponsor of the tenants or of their products or services pictured or mentioned. The names, logos and all related product and service names, design marks and slogans are the trademarks or service marks of their respective companies.

DISCLAIMERS. The results that an investor will realize will depend, to a significant degree, on the assets actually purchased by CMCT from time to time and the actual performance of such assets, which may be impacted by economic and market factors. The actual performance of CMCT will be subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those on page 3. In no circumstance should the hypothetical returns be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction that a specific investment or group of investments will reflect any particular performance or that it will achieve or is likely to achieve any particular result or that investors will be able to avoid losses, including total loss of their investments. Inherent in any investment is the potential for loss. There can be no assurance that CMCT will achieve comparable results, that the returns sought will be achieved or that CMCT will be able to execute its proposed strategy. Actual realized returns on investments may differ materially from any return indicated herein.

Capital Returned to Shareholders. The amounts of regular and special cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding as of the applicable record dates. All amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019. Past performance is not indicative of future results. CMCT is the product of a merger (the "Merger") between a subsidiary of CIM Urban REIT, LLC ("CIM REIT"), a fund operated by CIM Group, and PMC Commercial Trust ("PMC"), a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust, consummated in Q1 2014. Represents dividends paid on our common stock from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2020. Excludes a special dividend paid to PMC Commercial Trust's stockholders in connection with the Merger, but includes 2014 dividends received by CIM REIT stockholders prior to the Merger and dividends on convertible preferred stock received by Urban Partners II, LLC, an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, on an as converted basis, in the Merger. The per share equivalent in proceeds from CMCT's June 2016 tender offer is \$6.45, calculated by dividing \$210,000,000, the amount used by CMCT to purchase shares of common stock of CMCT in the tender offer, by 32,558,732, the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such tender offer, as adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO). AFFO is a non-GAAP, nonstandardized measure which is widely reported by REITs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, as a result, CMCT's AFFO may not be comparable to the AFFO of other REITs. CMCT calculates AFFO by (a) eliminating the impact on FFO of (i) straight-line rent revenue and expense; (ii) amortization of lease inducements; (iii) amortization of above and below market leases (including ground leases); (iv) amortization of above and below market debt, loan premiums and discounts, and deferred loan costs; (v) amortization of tax abatement; (vi) amortization of loan receivable discount and accretion of fees on loans receivable; (vii) unrealized premium adjustment; (viii) deferred income tax expense; (ix) non-cash compensation expense; (x) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (xi) redeemable preferred stock redemptions; and (xii) redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends and (b) subtracting (i) lease inducement payments and (ii) recurring capital expenditures and recurring tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Because of the inherent uncertainty related to these special items, management does not believe it is able to provide a meaningful forecast of the comparable GAAP measures or reconciliation to any forecasted GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow but may provide additional perspective on CMCT's operating results and our ability to fund cash needs and pay dividends. AFFO should only be considered as a supplement to net income. See page 34 for a reconciliation of AFFO to net loss attributable to common stockholders.
