Recent Developments

The Company formed a new vehicle, Safety, Income and Growth, Inc. (Safety), to pursue the separate capitalization of iStar's ground net lease (GNL) business. iStar contributed a portfolio of 12 GNL properties to the vehicle, most of which the Company has owned for over 10 years, with a gross book value of $218 million and a net book value of $156 million at March 31, 2017.

On March 30, Safety entered into a $227 million loan agreement providing for 10-year, non-recourse financing secured by the initial portfolio of assets. iStar retained the $220 million of proceeds which was net of $7.4 million of associated costs, while Safety assumed the debt.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, third party investors acquired, through a merger and related transactions, a 51% equity interest in Safety for $57.5 million in cash, which was paid to iStar. iStar retains a 49% interest in Safety.

As a result of these transactions, iStar received $277 million of net cash proceeds and expects to recognize a gain, net of realized and anticipated costs, of approximately $150 million in the second quarter of 2017.

On April 10, Safety filed an S-11 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company also received a favorable judgment from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, affirming a prior district court judgment relating to a dispute with Lennar over the purchase and sale of Bevard, a master planned community located in Maryland.

On April 21, iStar conveyed the property to Lennar and received $231 million of proceeds comprised of the remaining purchase price of $114 million and $117 million of interest and real estate taxes, net of costs. Lennar simultaneously filed a petition with the Court of Appeals with respect to approximately $30 million of post-judgment interest awarded to the Company. The amount of attorneys' fees and costs to be recovered by the Company are still to be determined. A third party holds a 4.3% participation interest in all proceeds from the judgment. The Company expects to record approximately $90 million of income in the second quarter, which excludes the portion of interest Lennar has contested and any recovery of attorneys' fees and costs awarded.

"We've reached a critical turning point for the Company," explained Jay Sugarman, iStar's chairman and chief executive officer. "We've spent significant time and effort working to unlock value in our portfolio and explore new areas of investment. Recent favorable developments have left us with over $1 billion of available liquidity on hand which gives us the ability to pursue large white space opportunities and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to shareholders."

As previously announced, during the first quarter the Company repriced its $500 million senior secured credit facility. The credit facility was repriced at par and bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR + 3.75% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor, a 75 basis point reduction from the prior rate of LIBOR + 4.50% with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. Call protection was extended for six months. All other terms of the facility, including its July 2020 maturity and 1.25x required collateral coverage, remained the same.

In addition, during the quarter the Company issued $375 million of 6.0% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 2022. The Company used proceeds from the offering to repay its $100 million 5.85% Senior Unsecured notes at maturity, and in April the Company repaid its $275 million 9.0% Senior Unsecured Notes due June 2017.

The Company allowed its $170 million delayed draw secured term loan, which it arranged during the fourth quarter, to expire. The facility was collateralized by the 12 GNLs that serve as Safety's initial portfolio. As previously mentioned, the Company replaced the facility with $227 million of secured debt raised during the first quarter collateralized by the same pool of assets. Both the debt and assets were assumed by the Safety venture.

The Company's weighted average cost of debt for the first quarter was 5.9%. The Company's leverage was 2.0x at the end of the quarter, below the Company's targeted range of 2.0x - 2.5x.

    (1) Adjusted Income allocable to common shareholders should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This non-GAAP financial measure should not
     be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor
     is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that the Company's manner of calculating this non-GAAP financial measure
     may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure as supplemental information to net income in analyzing the performance
     of our underlying business. Depreciation and amortization includes our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization expense relating to equity method investments and excludes the portion of
     depreciation and amortization expense allocable to non-controlling interests. Impairment of assets includes impairments on cost and equity method investments recorded in other income and earnings from equity
     method investments, respectively. Effective in the second quarter 2016, the Company modified its presentation of Adjusted Income to include losses on charge-offs and dispositions of previously impaired or
     reserved assets to provide a more informative metric for investors to help evaluate our operating performance. Losses on charge-offs and dispositions represents the impact of charge-offs and dispositions
     realized during the period. These charge-offs and dispositions were taken on assets that were previously impaired for GAAP and reflected in net income but not in Adjusted Income.
