Note 1 - Organization and Business

Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (“Broadmark Realty,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is an internally managed commercial real estate finance company that provides secured financing to real estate investors and developers. Broadmark Realty’s objective is to preserve and protect stockholder capital while producing attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through dividends generated from current income from its loan portfolio. Broadmark Realty has historically operated in states that it believes to have favorable demographic trends and provide Broadmark Realty the ability to efficiently access the underlying collateral in the event of borrower default.

The consolidated subsidiaries of Broadmark Realty include BRMK Lending, LLC, BRMK Management, Corp., and Broadmark Private REIT Management, LLC. BRMK Lending, LLC originates short-term loans generally secured by first deed of trust liens on residential and commercial real estate. BRMK Management, Corp. (the “Manager”) manages the underwriting, closing, servicing and disposition of mortgage notes, and performs all general and administrative duties for Broadmark Realty. Broadmark Private REIT Management, LLC (the “Private REIT Manager”) previously managed Broadmark Private REIT, LLC (the “Private REIT”), which was an unconsolidated affiliate of the Company that primarily participated in loans originated, underwritten and serviced by a subsidiary of Broadmark Realty. The Private REIT was liquidated during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 14 for details about the liquidation of the Private REIT.

Broadmark Realty has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Broadmark Realty generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it annually distributes dividends equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains) by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. Broadmark Realty also operates its business in a manner that permits it to maintain an exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a REIT, Broadmark Realty may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which may earn income that would not be qualifying income if earned directly by a REIT. The Manager is a TRS and this election applies to the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Manager, including the Private REIT Manager.
