With $4.5 billion in assets down from $5 billion, they’re weighing strategic moves—potentially selling, restructuring, or holding steady—as they work to recover cash through repayments and asset sales. Despite cutting dividends and managing a watch list of troubled properties, they’ve made progress, including resolving loans via a Boston life sciences acquisition and a Texas repayment. With $71 million in cash and $2 billion in expected repayments, KREF’s floating-rate debt and 66% average loan-to-value remain key factors. They’ve also bought back stock for $38 million. The future’s uncertain—but KREF’s CEO says they’re sticking to their transition plan. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
