RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party, directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners, management and directors, as well as members of their immediate families or any other parties with which Rithm Capital may deal if one party to a transaction controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Loan Agreement

In July 2023, an entity in which Rithm Capital has an ownership interest entered into an agreement to acquire a commercial real estate development project. Rithm Capital’s ownership interest in such entity is accounted for under the equity method and is presented within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Concurrently, Genesis entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $86.4 million, which was fully redeemed during the second quarter 2025. Prior to redemption, this loan was included in residential transition loans, at fair value on Rithm Capital’s consolidated balance sheets.

SFR Property Management Agreement

In January 2024, Rithm Capital entered into a property management agreement with APM, an entity in which the Company has an ownership interest, to manage certain of the Company’s SFR properties. Rithm Capital’s ownership interest in such entity is accounted for under the equity method and is presented within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 20 for additional details on the 2022-SFR2 Securitization.
