Safe Credit Facility—In connection with the Spin-Off, on March 31, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with Safe for a secured term loan with an outstanding principal amount of $115 million, plus up to $25 million in incremental borrowing capacity for specified purposes (as amended from time to time, the "Safe Credit Facility"). On March 28, 2025, the Company and Safe entered into an amendment to the Safe Credit Facility that, among other things, extended the maturity date by one year to March 31, 2028, provides that the $25.0 million in incremental borrowing capacity under the facility may be re-drawn for permitted purposes and permits the Company to repurchase up to $10.0 million of its shares pursuant to its share repurchase program (refer to Note 12).

Interest on borrowings under the Safe Credit Facility is payable in cash and accrues interest at a rate of (x) 8.00% per annum or (y) to the extent any loan remains outstanding under an incremental facility available under the Safe Credit Facility at such time, 10.00% per annum, as applicable. Amounts outstanding under the Safe Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $9.5 million, $9.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of interest expense gross of amounts capitalized on the Safe Credit Facility, which is included in “Interest expense” in the Company’s combined and consolidated statements of operations.

Margin Loan Facility—On March 31, 2023, STAR Investment Holdings SPV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("STAR SPV"), as borrower, entered into a margin loan agreement providing for a three-year, $140.0 million senior secured margin loan facility (as amended from time to time, the "Margin Loan Facility"), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as

calculation agent, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as initial lender. The Margin Loan Facility is secured by a first priority pledge of the Safe Shares and has a principal balance of $91.1 million as of December 31, 2025. On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Margin Loan Facility that, among other things, extended the maturity date from March 2026 to March 2028, increased the interest rate by 50 basis points, provides for an additional $15.8 million delayed-draw capital commitment from the lender (in addition to the outstanding principal balance on that date) and eased certain collateral posting and release triggers from then existing levels.

Interest on the Margin Loan Facility is payable in cash; provided, that STAR SPV may, at its option, elect that the interest for any future interest period be paid-in-kind. Amounts outstanding under the Margin Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to term SOFR for a three-month tenor plus a spread. Amounts outstanding under the Margin Loan Facility may be prepaid at any time upon prior notice, in whole or in part, subject to the payment of any applicable make-whole amount.

Senior Construction Mortgage Loan—In December 2023, the Venture (refer to Note 5) entered into an $80.0 million senior construction mortgage loan (the “Loan”). The Loan has a 3-year term with one 12-month extension option subject to a 1.0% fee. The Loan is interest only during the term and accrues interest at SOFR + 6.85% (with a SOFR floor of 3.65%) and features a 1.0% origination fee and a 1.85% exit fee, both on the total loan commitment. As of December 31, 2025, the Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $64.3 million.

Debt Covenants—The Safe Credit Facility requires that the Company comply with various covenants, including, without limitation, covenants restricting, subject to certain exceptions, indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, asset sales and the payment of certain dividends. Additionally, the Safe Credit Facility includes customary representations and warranties as well as customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit New Safe to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Company under the Safe Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the collateral securing the Safe Credit Facility.

The Margin Loan Facility requires that STAR SPV comply with various covenants, including, without limitation, covenants restricting, subject to certain exceptions, indebtedness, liens, investments and the payment of dividends. Additionally, the Margin Loan Facility includes customary representations and warranties, events of default and other creditor protections for this type of facility. Upon the occurrence of certain events which are customary for this type of facility, STAR SPV may be required to prepay all amounts due under the Margin Loan Facility or post additional collateral in accordance with the Margin Loan Facility and related agreements.

A subsidiary of the Company provided a completion and carry guaranty on the Loan and is required to maintain a minimum net worth and a minimum liquidity amount both prior to and after the completion of the Project while the Loan is outstanding.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
