Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Claros Mortgage Trust, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 18, 2026: 74 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Our Investments
  • Loans on properties in transition often involve a greater risk of loss than loans on stabilized properties, including the risk of cost overruns on and noncompletion of the construction or renovation of or other capital improvements to the properties underlying the loans we originate or acquire, and the risk that a borrower may fail to execute the business plan underwritten by us, potentially making it unable to make contractually obligated payments to us, each of which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Difficult conditions in the commercial mortgage and real estate market, the capital markets and the economy generally, as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, inflationary pressures and other factors, could make it difficult for our borrowers to satisfy their contractually obligated payments and may materially and adversely affect us.
  • We operate in a competitive market for the origination and acquisition of attractive investment opportunities and competition may limit our ability to originate or acquire attractive risk-adjusted investments in our target assets, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Our investments are and may be concentrated in certain markets, property types and borrowers, among other factors, and will be subject to risk of default.
  • The lack of liquidity in certain of the assets in our portfolio and our target assets generally may materially and adversely affect us.
  • In the event of borrower distress or a default, we may lack the liquidity necessary to protect our investment or avoid a corresponding default on any obligations we may have related to financing arrangements secured by our investments.
  • We may be unable to maintain or refinance debt incurred to finance our investments and our operations, thereby increasing the amount of equity capital risk we bear with respect to particular investments, preventing us from deploying our equity capital in the optimal manner, or reducing returns generated from our investments.
  • As a result of our real estate owned assets, we are subject to the risks commonly associated with real estate owned holdings, including risks related to ownership of a hotel portfolio, a mixed-use property, a land parcel, and multifamily properties, which differ from the risks associated with lending.
  • We generally determine the LTV for a loan in our portfolio prior to, or at the time of, our origination or acquisition of the loan and such LTVs may change significantly and in an adverse manner thereafter due to various circumstances.
  • There are increased risks involved with construction lending activities.
  • Our investments in construction loans require us to make estimates about the fair value of land improvements that may be challenged by the IRS.
The other 63 risks
  • Investments in subordinated mortgage interests, mezzanine loans and other assets that are subordinated or otherwise junior in a borrower’s capital structure may expose us to greater risk of loss.
  • Most of the CRE loans that we originate or acquire are non-recourse loans and the assets securing these loans may not be sufficient to protect us from a partial or complete loss if the borrower defaults on the loan, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • We may invest in derivative instruments, which would subject us to increased risk of loss.
  • We may be subject to additional risks associated with CRE loan participations.
  • U.S. and global financial systems and economies have undergone significant disruption, and such disruption and future disruptions may negatively impact our ability and our borrowers’ abilities to execute investment strategies, which would materially and adversely affect us.
  • Insurance proceeds on a property may not cover all losses, which could result in the corresponding non-performance of or loss on our investment related to such property.
  • Our investments expose us to risks associated with debt-oriented real estate investments generally.
  • Investments that are secured, directly or indirectly, by CRE are subject to potential delinquency, foreclosure and loss, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Prepayment rates may adversely affect the yield on our loans, the value of our portfolio of assets, and our liquidity.
  • Difficulty in redeploying the proceeds from repayments or sales of our existing loans and investments may cause our financial performance and returns to investors to suffer.
  • A prolonged economic slowdown, a lengthy or severe recession and/or periods of declining real estate values could impair our investments and harm our operations, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Recent macroeconomic trends and commensurate fluctuations in benchmark interest rates, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Provisions for current expected credit loss reserve are difficult to estimate.
  • We may not have control over certain of our investments.
  • Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition and liquidity and disputes between us and our joint venture partners.
  • CRE valuation is inherently subjective and uncertain.
  • The due diligence process that our Manager undertakes in regard to investment opportunities may not reveal all facts that may be relevant in connection with an investment and if our Manager incorrectly evaluates the risks of our investments, we may experience losses, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • We may foreclose on certain of the loans we originate or acquire, which could result in material losses.
  • We may be subject to lender liability claims, and if we are held liable under such claims, we could be subject to losses.
  • Liability relating to environmental matters may impact the value of our loans, the collateral properties of our loans, or of properties that we may acquire upon foreclosure of the properties underlying our investments.
  • Climate change, and other risks relating to the environmental, social and governance impact of our investments or the underlying properties and development activities that we finance, could adversely affect our business.
  • Risks Related to Sources of Financing and Hedging
  • We have indebtedness outstanding and may be unable to make deleveraging payments or obtain replacement financing with similar terms.
  • We may incur additional debt in the future, which subjects us to increased risk of loss, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Our secured term loan, debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio, current financing facilities, derivative instruments, and secured loans contain, and additional lending facilities may contain, financial and other covenants that restrict our operational flexibility, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • The arrangements that we currently use, or may in the future use, to finance our investments may require us to provide additional collateral or pay down debt based on the occurrence of certain events.
  • We depend or may depend on bank credit agreements and facilities, repurchase agreements and structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances and derivative instruments, in addition to transaction- or asset-specific financing arrangements and other sources of financing to execute our business plan, and our inability to maintain or access financing on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads could increase our financing costs and/or reduce our ability to generate income on our investments, which could lead to a significant decrease in our results of operations, cash flows and the value of our investments or the collateral properties and may limit our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
  • Our use of leverage may create a mismatch with the duration and interest rate reference index of the investments that we are financing.
  • An increase in our borrowing costs relative to the interest that we receive on our leveraged loans and revenues that we receive on our levered real estate owned assets would adversely affect our profitability and our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
  • Our existing and future financing arrangements and any debt securities we may issue could restrict our operations, limit our ability to resume paying dividends and expose us to additional risk.
  • We may enter into hedging transactions that could expose us to contingent liabilities in the future, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • We may fail to qualify for, or choose not to elect, hedge accounting treatment.
  • Our investments may be subject to fluctuations in interest rates that may not be adequately protected, or protected at all, by our hedging strategies.
  • We may use securitizations to finance our investments and make investments in CMBS, CLOs, and other similar structured finance investments, which may expose us to risks that could result in losses.
  • We may be subject to losses arising from future guarantees of debt and contingent obligations of our subsidiaries, joint venture or co-investment partners or our borrowers.
  • We are subject to counterparty risk associated with our hedging activities.
  • If we enter into certain hedging transactions or otherwise invest in certain derivative instruments, failure to obtain and maintain an exemption from being regulated as a commodity pool operator by our Manager could subject us to additional regulation and compliance requirements, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Risks Related to Our Company
  • Our investment strategy, our investment guidelines, our target assets and our financing strategy may be changed without stockholder consent.
  • Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations or those of our competitors, banks or other of our capital providers, or changes in the interpretation thereof, or newly enacted laws or regulations, could result in increased competition for our target assets or reduced access to capital, require changes to our business practices and collectively could adversely impact our revenues and impose additional costs on us, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • State licensing requirements will cause us to incur expenses and our failure to be properly licensed may have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Actions of the U.S. government, including the U.S. Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury and other governmental and regulatory bodies, to stabilize or reform the financial markets, or market response to those actions, may not achieve the intended effect and could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Operational risks, including the risk of cyberattacks, may disrupt our businesses, result in losses and limit our growth.
  • Accounting rules for certain of our transactions are highly complex and involve significant judgment and assumptions. Changes in accounting interpretations or assumptions could impact our ability to timely prepare consolidated financial statements, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Risks Related to Our Relationship with Our Manager and its Affiliates
  • Our future success depends on our Manager and its access to the key personnel and investment professionals of our Sponsor and its affiliates.
  • The personnel providing services to our Manager are not required to dedicate a specific portion of their time to the management of our business.
  • Our Manager manages our loan portfolio pursuant to very broad investment guidelines and is not required to seek the approval of our Board for investment decisions where certain criteria are met, which may result in riskier decisions that could cause investment returns to be substantially below expectations including the potential for material losses.
  • We may compete with other investment vehicles managed by our Sponsor or its affiliates, including our Manager, or have other conflicts of interest with our Sponsor or its affiliates, including our Manager, which may result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.
  • The structure of our Manager’s fees may not create effective incentives and may cause our Manager to make riskier investments.
  • Termination of the Management Agreement may be costly in certain circumstances.
  • Amendments to the Management Agreement that will be in effect for so long as our new secured term loan is outstanding could have an adverse effect on us.
  • Our Manager’s liability is limited under the Management Agreement and we have agreed to indemnify our Manager against certain liabilities.
  • Risks Related to Our Common Stock
  • We have not established a minimum dividend payment level, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to resume paying dividends to our stockholders at any time in the future at a particular level, or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.
  • Common stock eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on the market price of our common stock.
  • There are warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock currently outstanding.
  • Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
  • Avoiding the need to register under the 1940 Act imposes significant limits on our operations. Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
  • Any change in the interpretive positions of the SEC or its staff with respect to Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the 1940 Act could have a material adverse effect on us.
  • Rapid changes in the values of our other real estate-related investments may make it more difficult for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT or exclusion from registration under the 1940 Act.
  • Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover on claims against our directors and officers are limited, which could reduce your and our recovery against them if they negligently cause us to incur losses.
  • Our charter contains provisions that are designed to reduce or eliminate duties of our non-employee directors with respect to corporate opportunities and competitive activities.
  • Our charter contains provisions that make removal of our directors difficult, which could make it difficult for our stockholders to effect changes to our management or ownership.
  • Our charter does not permit any person to own more than (a) 9.6%, in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or (b) 9.6% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our capital stock, and any attempt to acquire shares of our common stock or any of our capital stock in excess of these ownership limits will not be effective without a prior exemption by our Board.
  • Our bylaws designate certain Maryland courts as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
  • Some provisions of our charter and bylaws and Maryland law may delay, deter or prevent takeover attempts, which may limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.
