Onera Mezzanine Financing Loan

In January 2023, we entered into an agreement with affiliates of Onera Opportunity Fund I, LP ("Onera") to provide a mezzanine financing loan of $4.6 million (the "Onera Mezzanine Loan") for the development of a glamping property. The Onera Mezzanine Loan is secured by a second mortgage on the property and is subordinate to the senior lender for the development project. As of December 31, 2024, we have funded our entire $4.6 million commitment under the mezzanine financing loan. The loan matures 24 months from the closing date of the transaction and may be extended for an additional 12 months at the borrower's option. The borrower has exercised its option to extend the Onera Mezzanine Loan for an additional 12 months. The development of the property was completed and operations commenced in September 2024.

Additionally, we issued a $3.0 million letter of credit to the senior lender of the project as additional support for Onera's construction loan. We have not recorded a liability for this guarantee as we believe the likelihood of having to make any payment under this guarantee is unlikely. In the event that we fund any amount under this guarantee, we would have the right to recover any amount paid under the guarantee from Onera.

We also have an option to purchase 90% of the equity of the entity that owns the development property that became exercisable upon completion of construction in September 2024 (the "Onera Purchase Option"). The Onera Purchase Option is exercisable until the later of the first anniversary of the opening of the property or the date the Onera Mezzanine Loan is paid in full.

We recorded the estimated fair value of the Onera Purchase Option in Other assets and as a contra-asset to Investments in lodging property, net at its estimated fair value of $0.9 million on the transaction date using the Black-Scholes model. Our estimate of the fair value of the Onera Purchase Option under the Black-Scholes model requires judgment and estimates primarily related to the volatility of our stock price and expected levels of future dividends on our common stock.

The recorded amount of the Onera Purchase Option was amortized as non-cash interest income beginning in January 2023 using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, and through September 2024 when the Onera Purchase Option became exercisable. We amortized $0.4 million and $0.5 million of the carrying amount of the Onera Purchase Option as non-cash interest income for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Seller-Financed Loans

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received $0.6 million from the borrower of two seller-financed loans with a combined original principal of $3.6 million to repay one of the two loans in full and $0.5 million of principal payments on the remaining loan. The loans were fully reserved when the payments were received. As such, we recorded Recoveries of credit losses of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received $1.5 million from the borrower to repay approximately $0.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest and the outstanding principal balance of the remaining loan. As a result, we recorded Recoveries of credit losses of $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the repayment in full of the seller-financing loan.
