Immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, the Issuer effectuated a reorganization of its capital structure (the "Reorganization") by exchanging interests in Ladder Capital Finance Holding LLLP ("LCFH") for shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock, shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock, and limited partnership interests of LCFH ("Units"). The securities reflected on this Form 4 were provided in exchange for interests in LCHF during the Reorganization.
2. The shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock held by GI III-A and GI III-B are subject to a lock-up agreement and cannot be freely traded until August 5, 2014.

The 13,987,509 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer are owned by GI Ladder Holdco, LLC ("Ladder Holdco"). GI Partners Fund III L.P. ("GI III") owns Ladder Holdco. GI GP III L.P.
