Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

On December 31, 2013, Tricadia Holdings received 194,868 Shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company as incentive compensation approved by the Company’s Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for Mr. Barnes’ services as Executive Chairman of the Company under the Transition Services Agreement, dated June 30, 2012, among the Company, Tricadia Holdings and Tiptree.

Effective as of December 31, 2013, Tricadia Holdings distributed to its partners (including Messrs.

As part of such distribution, Mr. Barnes received 74,367 Shares of Class A Common Stock, and Mr. Inayatullah received 42,167 Shares of Class A Common Stock.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Company

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) As of the date of this Statement, Tiptree and Tiptree Capital may, in the aggregate, be deemed to own 652,500 Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the CRE Warrant to purchase such Shares. These Shares represent approximately 5.98% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding based on 10,919,353 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding based on information reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, dated November 14, 2013 (which consists of 10,266,853 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock plus 652,500 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the CRE Warrant to purchase such Shares).

As of the date of this Statement, Michael Barnes may be deemed to own 1,635,074 Shares of Class A Common Stock (including 652,500 Shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the CRE Warrant to purchase such Shares). These Shares represent approximately 14.97% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding based on 10,919,353 shares outstanding based on information reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, dated November 14, 2013 (which consists of 10,266,853 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock plus 652,500 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the CRE Warrant to purchase such Shares).

CUSIP No. 88822Q103 SCHEDULE 13D/A Page 9 of 10

As of the date of this Statement, Arif Inayatullah may be deemed to own 570,076 shares of Class A Common Stock. These Shares represent approximately 5.55% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding based on 10,266,853 Shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding based on information reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, dated November 14, 2013 .

(b) Tiptree has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the 652,500 Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its manager, Tiptree Capital. Tiptree Capital is an indirect subsidiary of Tiptree. Michael Barnes, as chairman and beneficial holder of greater than 10% of the outstanding limited partnership units of Tiptree, directs Tiptree’s operations.

Mr. Barnes has the sole power to dispose of and the sole power to vote the 74,367 Shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned by him and, as executive chairman and a significant limited partner of Tiptree, has shared power to dispose of and vote the 652,500 Shares beneficially owned by Tiptree. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Mr. Barnes may be deemed to beneficially own the 652,500 Shares beneficially owned by Tiptree.

Mr. Inayatullah has the sole power to dispose of and the sole power to vote the 42,167 Shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned by him.

Tiptree Capital does not directly own any shares of Class A Common Stock. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Tiptree Capital may be deemed to own beneficially the 652,500 Shares beneficially owned by Tiptree.

Neither Holdings nor Holdings GP directly nor beneficially own any Shares of Class A Common Stock.

(c) As described in Item 3, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Warrant Purchase Agreement, Tiptree acquired 6,185,050 newly issued shares of Common Stock (since reclassified Class A Common Stock) (adjusted to 9,277,575 Shares of Class A Common Stock following the Company’s three-for-two stock split) and the CRE Warrant to purchase 435,000 Shares of Class A Common Stock (adjusted to 652,500 Shares of Class A Common Stock following the Company’s three-for-two stock split) for a total purchase price of $55,765,450. Effective July 1, 2013, in connection with the Contribution Transactions, in exchange for the redemption of certain of its limited partnership units, Tiptree distributed the 9,277,575 Shares of Class A Common Stock to certain of its limited partners who elected to receive such distribution. Tiptree retained the CRE Warrant. Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the shares of Common Stock during the last 60 days.

(d) No person (other than the Reporting Persons) is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
