None



Balance Sheet Improvement and Liquidity Enhancement:
- CMCT fully repaid and retired its recourse corporate-level credit facility, which initially carried a balance of approximately $169 million.
- This achievement was part of CMCT's strategic initiative to enhance financial flexibility and liquidity by moving debt to the property level, securing nonrecourse mortgages, and increasing the number of unencumbered assets.

Multifamily Portfolio Expansion and NOI Growth:
- CMCT now has four operating multifamily assets and expects one more in Q3, representing a significant focus on growing its multifamily portfolio.
- The company anticipates growing multifamily net operating income through improved occupancy and increased rents, with recent progress in Los Angeles and Bay Area properties.

Hotel Asset Renovation and Occupancy Improvement:
- The Sheraton Grand Sacramento hotel showed a 15% year-over-year increase in net operating income for Q1 2025.
- This improvement was driven by the completion of a room renovation project, which is expected to further enhance the asset's performance moving forward.

Office Leasing Activity and Market Recovery:
- CMCT executed approximately 30,000 square feet of new leases in Q1, building upon the nearly 176,000 square feet of leases signed in Q4.
- The pickup in leasing activity, particularly in Los Angeles and Austin, is indicative of an improving market and the company's strategic focus on premier multifamily assets.
