Past performance is historical and not a guarantee of future results. The Fund employs leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if investments decline in value. There can be no guarantee that current trends will continue. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when repurchased, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

(1) Net Distribution Rate: Reflects the annualized monthly dividend for August 2024 divided by the month-end NAV for the respective share class. KREST intends to make distributions necessary to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust. However, there is no assurance that we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. Any distributions we make will be at the discretion of our board of directors. KREST may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including without limitations, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, 85% of KREST’s distributions were funded through adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”). The Fund defines AFFO as the increase in net assets applicable to common stockholders from operations (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) the change in net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of investments, (ii) amortization premium (accretion of discount) on real estate securities, (iii) amortization of deferred origination fees on real estate loans, (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs, (v) management and incentive fees paid in shares of the Fund and (vi) realized and including undistributed income attributable to the Fund’s unconsolidated subsidiaries. This statement is not an indication of the tax treatment of any KREST distributions. Stockholders will be informed of the tax characteristics of any distributions after the close of KREST’s fiscal year.
