The results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included $9.0 million of non-recurring extinguishment losses on financing transactions and $1.3 million of additional dividend expenses in connection with a full quarter's accrual of dividends on the 7.875% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which was issued in the second quarter of 2021.

"We continue to seek and generate new financing sources to optimize our cost of capital and expand our commercial real estate loan pipeline. Our capital transactions in the third quarter, including a new issuance of senior unsecured notes, netted us $44 million of additional principal and reduced the weighted average interest rate across our corporate debt by 88 basis points quarter over quarter. We expect to continue to build on the momentum in our commercial real estate loan origination business as we seek to grow earnings and book value over time."
