(1)	On September 30, 2025, SPT Management, LLC, the issuer's external manager (the "Manager"), acquired 345,833 shares of the issuer's common stock in connection with the vesting of (i) 125,000 of the restricted stock units originally granted to the Manager on November 23, 2022 (the "2022 RSUs"), (ii) 108,333 of the restricted stock units originally granted to the Manager on March 4, 2024 (the "2024 RSUs"), and (iii) 112,500 of the restricted stock units originally granted to the Manager on March 6, 2025 (the "2025 RSUs"), each as an award under the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2022 Manager Equity Plan.
(2)	Represents shares of the issuer's common stock distributed by the Manager to certain employees and/or other persons having an affiliation with the Manager.
(3)	Reflects the transfer of 3,018 shares of the issuer's common stock that were previously held by the Manager and reported as indirectly beneficially owned by Mr. Sternlicht on October 1, 2025, such that they are now directly beneficially owned by Mr. Sternlicht.
(4)	On December 31, 2025, the Manager acquired 220,833 shares of the issuer's common stock in connection with the vesting of (i) 108,333 of the 2024 RSUs and (ii) 112,500 of the 2025 RSUs, each as an award under the Starwood Property Trust, Inc. 2022 Manager Equity Plan.
(5)	The remaining 2024 RSUs and the remaining 2025 RSUs will vest ratably in quarterly installments through December 31, 2026 and December 31, 2027, respectively, in each case subject to the Manager's continued service as the issuer's external manager. As such restricted stock units vest, the awards will be settled in shares of the issuer's common stock promptly, but in no event later than 30 days, following the applicable quarterly vesting dates. There are no remaining unvested 2022 RSUs.
(6)	Represents shares of the issuer's common stock held by entities directly or indirectly controlled by Mr. Sternlicht, including the Manager, SFIP, LLC and JAWS Capital, LP.
