The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is 515 S. Flower St., 44th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to their knowledge, none of the directors and executive officers listed on Annex A hereto, (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
The information set forth in Annex A hereto is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On January 31, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Combination Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2017, as amended and restated on November 20, 2017 (the “Combination Agreement”), by and among (i) CCOC, (ii) RED REIT, (iii) the Issuer, (iv) Credit RE Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Credit OP”), (v) NorthStar Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“NorthStar I”), (vi) NorthStar Real Estate Income Trust Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of NorthStar I (“NorthStar I OP”), (vii) NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“NorthStar II”), and (viii) NorthStar Real Estate Income Operating Partnership II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of NorthStar II (“NorthStar II OP”), NorthStar I and NorthStar II completed their merger (the “Mergers”) with and into the Issuer. Immediately prior to the Mergers, on January 31, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Combination Agreement, (i) CCOC contributed a select portfolio of its assets and liabilities to the Issuer (the “CCOC Contribution”) in exchange for 44,399,444 shares of the Issuer’s Class B-3 Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B-3 Shares”), and (ii) RED REIT contributed a select portfolio of its assets and liabilities to the Issuer (the “RED REIT Contribution,” and together with the CCOC Contribution, the “Contribution Transactions,” and collectively with the Mergers, the “Combination”) in exchange for 3,075,623 units representing limited liability company interest in Credit OP (“OP Units”). Each Class B-3 Share will automatically convert into one Share upon the close of trading on February 1, 2019.
In addition, on January 31, 2018, NRF Holdco received an aggregate of 461,422 Shares as merger consideration in the Mergers in exchange for shares of NorthStar I and NorthStar II that it held prior to the Mergers.




Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement described below in Item 4, the OP Units are redeemable for cash or, at the Issuer’s election, Shares on a one-for-one basis.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
In connection with the Combination, on January 31, 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of CCOC became the external manager for the Issuer’s assets and its day-to-day operations, under the supervision and direction of the board of directors of the Issuer.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board of directors of the Issuer, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to Colony Capital, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions, in accordance with the transfer restrictions provided in the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), with respect to the investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, for example: (1) disposing of any or all of the Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of the Shares (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise; or (2) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities.
Except as noted above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Further, Mr. Darren J. Tangen, who is the President and Chief Financial Officer of Colony Capital, and Mr. Kevin P. Traenkle, who is the Chief Investment Officer of Colony Capital and Chief Executive Officer and President of the Issuer, currently serve as directors of the Issuer. As officers of Colony Capital, and as directors and/or officers, as the case may be, of the Issuer, Mr. Tangen and Mr. Traenkle may, from time to time, engage with, and contribute their respective commercial expertise to, the Issuer’s board of directors and management with respect to the management, operations, business and financial condition of the Issuer and such other matters as such individuals may deem relevant to the investment of CCOC, RED REIT and NRF Holdco in the Shares.
The response to Item 6 below is incorporated by reference.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
In addition to the Joint Filing Agreement dated December 13, 2018, that has been entered into by the Reporting Persons, set forth below are the contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the Combination, on January 31, 2018, CCOC entered into a stockholders agreement with the Issuer (the “Stockholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until the later of the two year anniversary of the closing of the Combination and the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, CCOC will cause its Shares (including any Class B-3 Shares) to be present for purposes of establishing a quorum of the stockholders at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer and to cause its Shares (including any Class B-3 Shares) to be voted in favor of the director nominees recommended by the board of directors of the Issuer in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A. The Stockholders Agreement also provides that, until the later of the two year anniversary of the closing of the Combination and the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, CCOC will not, and will cause its affiliates not to (each solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Issuer), take any action to change the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer in a manner that results in the board of directors of the Issuer being comprised of less than a majority of independent directors.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, CCOC will, and will cause RED REIT to, enter into a customary lock-up agreement with the underwriters of any offering of shares of common stock of the Issuer for a term not to extend beyond the one year anniversary of the closing of the Combination. In addition, until the one year anniversary of the closing of the Combination, CCOC will not, and will cause its affiliates not to, make any transfers of OP Units to non-affiliates of CCOC unless such transfer is approved by a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer, including a majority of the independent directors. However, the approval of the board of directors of the Issuer is not required in connection with a transfer by operation of law or pursuant to a merger, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or similar fundamental transaction involving Colony Capital and/or CCOC. The foregoing does not restrict any conversion of OP Units for equity of the Issuer pursuant to Credit OP’s limited liability company agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Combination, on January 31, 2018, CCOC and RED REIT entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more registration statements within thirteen (13) months following the consummation of the Combination that (i) register for resale the Shares issued in the Combination and (ii) register the issuance or resale of the Shares issued upon redemption of the OP Units issued in the Combination. Further, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, at the request of a holder, the Issuer must use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of all or part of the registrable securities through an underwritten public offering under the applicable registration statement; provided, however, that such holders may not exercise such registration rights more than once in any consecutive 120-day period.



Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, CCOC and RED REIT are also entitled to receive notice of any proposed underwritten public offering of Shares for the Issuer’s own account or for another security holder. Such holders may request in writing within five business days following receipt of such notice to participate in any underwritten public offering; provided that if the number of Shares as to which registration has been demanded exceeds the maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting its success, the Shares requested by CCOC or RED REIT may be cutback from such underwritten public offering.
The Issuer is required to bear the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, associated with any registration of shares by the holders. The Issuer also is required to indemnify each holder who includes registrable securities in any registration and any person who is or might be deemed a controlling person of such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Section 20 of the Act, against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the registration of such holder’s registrable securities.
The registration rights described above will terminate as to any stockholder at such time as all of such stockholder’s securities could be sold in a single calendar quarter without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144.
The above descriptions of the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference
Except for the arrangements described herein, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
