1. The Company

Sachem Capital Corp. (the “Company”), a New York corporation, specializes in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing and managing a portfolio of first mortgage loans. The Company operates its business as one segment. The Company offers short-term (i.e., one to three years), secured, non-bank loans to real estate owners and investors to fund their acquisition, renovation, development, rehabilitation or improvement of properties located primarily in the northeastern and southeastern sections of the United States. The properties securing the Company’s loans are generally classified as residential or commercial real estate and, typically, are held for resale or investment. Each loan is typically secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate and may also be secured with additional collateral, such as other real estate owned by the borrower or its principals, a pledge of the ownership interests in the borrower by the principals thereof, and/or personal guarantees by the principals of the borrower. The Company does not lend to owner occupants of residential real estate. The Company’s primary underwriting criteria is a conservative loan to value ratio. In addition, the Company may make opportunistic real estate purchases apart from its lending activities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company, unless further updated below, are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2025 is derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be attained in the entire fiscal year or for any subsequent period.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases the use of estimates on (a) various assumptions that consider prior reporting results, (b) projections regarding future operations and (c) general financial market and local and general economic conditions. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the provisions for credit losses and real estate owned.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company consolidates SN Holdings LLC (“SN Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company established for the sole purpose of acting as the borrower under the revolving credit facility with Needham Bank (as described in Note 9 below), and Sachem Capital Corporation Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, formed for the sole purpose of acting as the issuer of the $100 million Senior Secured Notes (defined below). SN Holdings and Holdings are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) under the guidance of Financial

SACHEM CAPITAL CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, Consolidation, as they were established with insufficient equity at risk and do not have independent operations apart from the Company. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of SN Holdings and Holdings because it has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to each entity, primarily through its role as the guarantor and through its ability to direct all operational and financing decisions.

As of March 31, 2026, SN Holdings had total assets of $93.0 million and total liabilities of $32.2 million, consisting primarily of collateralized mortgage loans and borrowings under the Needham Credit Facility (defined below). The assets of SN Holdings can only be used to settle obligations of SN Holdings and are not available to the Company or its creditors, other than as permitted under the intercompany guaranty and lien release provisions of the Needham Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2026, Holdings had total assets of $195.7 million and total liabilities of $100.5 million, consisting primarily of collateralized mortgage loans and indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Secured Notes. The assets of Holdings can only be used to settle obligations of Holdings and are not available to the Company or its creditors.

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment.)

was accounted for in accordance with ASC 310 (Receivables). Based on a discounted cash flow model, the fair value of the assets acquired was estimated to be $35.9 million, resulting in a credit loss of $3.9 million upon restructuring of the loan. The discounted cash flow model utilized a 10.2% discount rate which is an unobservable input.

9. Line of Credit and Mortgage Payable

Line of Credit – Needham Bank

The Company has a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Needham Bank, a Massachusetts co-operative bank, as the administrative agent (“Needham”) for the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) with respect to a committed $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Needham Credit Facility”), subject to borrowing based limitations and facility covenant compliance. Under the Credit Agreement, the borrower is SN Holdings and the Company is the guarantor of all SN Holdings’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. SN Holdings, in its capacity as borrower, has granted Needham a lien on all its assets. SN Holdings is required to maintain assets equal to 2.0 times of the outstanding balance on the new credit facility. In addition, SN Holdings is required to collaterally assign to Needham mortgage loans having an outstanding principal balance in an amount no less than the greater of (i) $30.0 million and (ii) the aggregate principal outstanding principal balance on the facility. The Company, in its capacity as guarantor, has agreed to grant Needham a blanket lien on all its assets. However, Needham is required to release its lien at the Company’s request to facilitate other financings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Loans under the Needham Credit Facility accrue interest at the greater of (i) the annual rate of interest equal to the “prime rate,” as published in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal minus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), and (ii) four and one-half percent (4.50%). All amounts borrowed under the Needham Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on virtually all of the Company’s assets. Assets excluded from the lien include real estate owned by the Company (other than real estate acquired pursuant to foreclosure). Prior to Amendment No.2 (defined below), the Needham Credit Facility was due to expire on March 2, 2026 and the Company had a right to extend the term for one year upon the consent of Needham and the Lenders, which consent could not be unreasonably withheld, and so long as it is not in default and satisfies certain other conditions. On January 21, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2 extends the maturity date of the Needham Credit Facility from March 2, 2026 to March 2, 2028 and provides for an additional conditional one year extension to March 2, 2029. All other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

All outstanding revolving loans and accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the expiration date. The Company may terminate the Needham Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty by delivering written notice to Needham at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed date of termination. The Needham Credit Facility is subject to other terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, covenants and agreements typically found in these types of financing arrangements, including a covenant that requires the Company to maintain: (A) a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Debt Service (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.40 to 1.0, tested on a trailing-twelve-month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter; (B) a sum of cash, cash equivalents and availability under the facility equal to or greater than $10.0 million; and (C) an asset coverage ratio of at least 150%.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total outstanding principal balance on the Needham Credit Facility was $29.0 million and $19.0 million, respectively, with an interest rate of 6.50% and 6.50%, respectively.

Mortgage Payable

On February 28, 2023, the Company entered into an adjustable-rate mortgage loan with New Haven Bank in the original principal amount of $1.7 million (the "NHB Mortgage"). The NHB Mortgage accrues interest at an initial rate of 5.75% per annum for the first 60 months. The interest rate will be adjusted on each of March 1, 2028, and March 1, 2033, to the then published 5-year Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston Classic Advance Rate, plus 1.75%. Beginning on April 1, 2023, and through March 1, 2038, principal and interest will be due and payable on a monthly basis. All payments under the loan are amortized based on a 20-year amortization schedule. Over the next five years, the Company is scheduled to make principal payments ranging from $47,000 to $59,000 annually, with the remaining balance due thereafter. The unpaid principal amount of the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable in full on March 1, 2038. The loan is a non-recourse obligation, secured by a first mortgage lien on the property located at 568 East Main Street, Branford, Connecticut.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total outstanding principal balance on the NHB Mortgage was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

10. Unsecured Notes Payable

At March 31, 2026, the Company had an aggregate of $171.7 million of unsecured, unsubordinated notes payable outstanding, net of $1.6 million of deferred financing costs (collectively, the “Notes”). At March 31, 2026, the Company had four series of Notes outstanding:

(i)Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $51.8 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum and maturing December 30, 2026 (the “December 2026 Notes”);

(ii)Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $51.7 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum and maturing March 30, 2027 (the “March 2027 Notes”);

(iii)Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $29.7 million bearing interest at 7.125% per annum and maturing June 30, 2027 (the “June 2027 Notes”); and

(iv)Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $40.1 million bearing interest at 8.00% per annum and maturing September 30, 2027 (the “September 2027 Notes”).

The Notes were sold in underwritten public offerings, were issued in denomination of $25.00 each and are listed on the NYSE American and trade under the symbols “SCCD,” “SCCE,” “SCCF” and “SCCG,” respectively. All the Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly on each March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 that they are outstanding. So long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company is prohibited from making distributions in excess of 90% of its taxable income, incurring any additional indebtedness or purchasing any shares of its capital stock unless it has an “Asset Coverage Ratio” of at least 150% after giving effect to the payment of such dividend, the incurrence of such indebtedness or the application of the net proceeds, as the case may be. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2026. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time after their second anniversary of issuance upon at least 30 days prior written notice to the holders of the Notes. The redemption price will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the accrued but unpaid interest thereon up to, but not including the date of redemption. Currently, all the Notes are callable at any time.

11. Senior Secured Notes Payable

On June 11, 2025, Holdings, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, consummated a private placement of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due June 11, 2030 (the "Senior Secured Notes") to various institutional investors under a Note Purchase and Guaranty Agreement (the "Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement"). An initial draw of $50.0 million was made at closing, an additional draw of $40.0 million was made in September 2025, and the remaining $10.0 million was drawn in March 2026. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.875% per annum, with interest only payable quarterly on the 1st day of March, June, September and December, and include a commitment fee of 1.0% on the undrawn portion of the Senior Secured Notes. The Company paid an approximately $1.5 million original issue discount on the $100.0 million aggregate principal amount which is part of the $3.6 million of deferred financing costs recorded related to the Senior Secured Notes. The deferred financing costs will be amortized over the five year term of the Senior Secured Notes using the effective interest method and amortization by year is as follows: 2026 - $481,000, 2027 - $718,000, 2028 - $804,000, 2029 - $894,000, and 2030 - $401,000.

The Senior Secured Notes allow optional prepayment subject to a declining make-whole amount during the first three years, a declining prepayment premium in the fourth year, and then no make-whole payment or prepayment premium after the fourth year through maturity. Upon a change of control, holders of the Senior Secured Notes have the right to prepayment, if accepted, at 101% of the outstanding principal. The Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar secured debt instruments, including minimum asset coverage ratio; leverage and liquidity requirements; restrictions on additional indebtedness, asset sales, and distributions under certain conditions; and maintenance of REIT status by the Company. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement includes customary events for similar secured debt instruments. Payment of the amounts due on the Senior Secured Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and Sachem Capital Corporation Intermediate, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Unfunded Commitments

At March 31, 2026, the Company had future funding obligations on loans held for investment totaling $33.1 million and obligations relating to investments in limited liability companies totaling $0.7 million, which can be drawn by the borrowers when the conditions relating thereto have been satisfied. The unfunded commitments will be funded from loan payoffs and additional drawdowns under existing and future credit facilities and proceeds from sale of debt and equity securities. The Company’s unfunded commitments are subject to allowances under the scope of current expected credit losses ("CECL"). See Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses — for further details.

Litigation

The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings or other matters arising out of the normal conduct of business in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. As of the date of this report, management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of such pending or threatened matters will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with such matters. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent such matters could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. The range of losses for matters where an exposure is not currently estimable or considered probable is not believed to be material in the aggregate. This is based on information currently available to the Company and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

While the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending or threatened litigation or other matters will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future. In addition, regardless of the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceeding, inquiry or investigation, any such matter could cause the Company to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and possibly material, to the Company’s results of operations in any future period.

On April 6, 2026, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. filed a complaint against the Company and Sachem Capital Corporation Holdings, LLC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting claims for breach of contract and quantum meruit relating to a May 2024 engagement letter. The complaint seeks damages of not less than approximately $1.8 million, plus interest, costs, disbursements and attorneys’ fees. The matter is in its preliminary stages. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims.

Other

In the normal course of its business, the Company is named as a party-defendant in connection with tax foreclosure proceedings against properties on which it holds a first mortgage lien. The Company actively monitors these actions and, in all cases, believes there remains sufficient value in the subject property to assure that no loan impairment exists. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was one such property with an unpaid principal balance of $0.3 million.

15. Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may originate, fund, manage and service loans to shareholders. The underwriting process on these loans adheres to prevailing Company policy. The terms of such loans, including the interest rate, income, origination fees, and other closing costs are the same as those applicable to loans made to unrelated third parties in the portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, loans to known shareholders totaled $18.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively, which is included in loans held for investment, net in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of these amounts, $18.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively, were loaned to a joint-venture entity fifty percent owned in aggregate by the Company’s Senior Vice President of Asset Management and Vice President of Asset Management. All such loans are performing. Interest income earned on all related party loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 totaled $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

16. Stock-Based Compensation and Employee Benefits

Stock-Based Compensation

On July 9, 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), which replaced the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan. The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to align the interests of the Company’s officers, other employees, advisors and consultants or any subsidiary, if any, with those of the Company’s shareholders and to afford an incentive to such officers, employees, consultants and advisors to continue as such, to increase their efforts on the Company’s behalf and to promote the success of the Company’s business. The maximum number of the Company's common shares, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Shares") reserved for grant of awards under the 2025 Plan is 2,936,762. The number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the 2025 Plan as of March 31, 2026 was 2,271,230.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted an aggregate of 282,217 restricted Common Shares, net of shares surrendered to cover taxes, under the 2025 Plan with a grant date fair value of $0.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 767,668 restricted Common Shares, of which a grant of 420,168 shares was rescinded immediately after the grant, with a grant date fair value of $0.9 million.

All employees, who meet the participation criteria, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, the Company is obligated to contribute 3% of a participant’s compensation to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of an employee-participant. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the 401(k) Plan expense was $43,934 and $24,293, respectively, which is included within compensation and employee benefits in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

17. Equity

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company has designated 3,332,000 shares of its authorized preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share, as shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as set forth in an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation (the “Series A Designation Certificate”). The Series A Designation Certificate provides that the Company will pay quarterly cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, in arrears, on the 30th day of each of March, June, September and December, and including, the date of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock until redeemed at 7.75% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $1.9375 per annum per share). The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable before June 29, 2026, except upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Designation Certificate). On or after June 29, 2026, the Company may, at its option, redeem any or all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may, at its option, redeem any or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred at $25.00 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted into Common Shares in connection with a Change of Control by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right (subject to the Company’s election to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in whole or in part, as described above, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date as defined in the Series A Designation Certificate) to convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of the Common Shares determined by formula, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Series A Designation Certificate, including provisions for the receipt, under specified circumstances, of alternative consideration as described in the Series A Designation Certificate. Except under limited circumstances, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally do not have any voting rights. The Company has reserved 83,300,000 Common Shares for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

At-The-Market Offerings

On November 11, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to its Form S-3 Registration Statement covering the sale of up to $18.45 million of its Series A Preferred Stock in an ATM offering (the "ATM Offering"). There were no sales under the ATM Offering during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold no Common Shares and sold an aggregate of 6,010 shares of Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference of $0.1 million, realizing gross proceeds of $0.1 million (representing a discount of 25.5% from the liquidation preference). The Company’s issuance costs for Series A Preferred Stock shares sold during the year ended December 31, 2025 were de minimis. At March 31, 2026, $18.3 million of Series A Preferred Stock were available for future sale under the New ATM Offering.

Repurchase Plan

Effective on October 10, 2024, the Board adopted a Repurchase Plan (the “Repurchase Plan”). Under the Repurchase Plan, the Company may repurchase up to an aggregate of 5,802,959 of Common Shares and share repurchases

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

will be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any Common Shares.

18. Earnings (Losses) Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260 (Earnings Per Share). Under FASB ASC 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share is similar to basic earnings (losses) per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the potential dilution from the Company's unvested restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends so therefore deemed to participating securities for Common Shares using the treasury stock method. The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (losses) per Common Share for each period is the reported net income (loss) available to common shareholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had basic and diluted weighted average Common Shares outstanding of 47,178,193, resulting in basic and diluted loss per Common Share of $0.15. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had basic and diluted weighted average Common Shares outstanding of 46,784,744 resulting in basic and diluted loss per Common Share of $0.00.

19. Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) Investments

The following table presents the carrying value of each investment reflected on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Shem Creek (“Shem”)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Shem LLC investments generated $0.9 million of interest income and $0.1 million of other income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Shem LLC investments generated $1.9 million of interest income and $0.1 million of other income.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had unfunded commitments totaling $0.7 million to the Shem LLC entities.

Cordo CLT Investors LLC

In September 2024, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Urbane Capital, LLC, acquired a member's interest in Cordo CLT Investors LLC for a one time contribution of $2.5 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held 7.2% of total common member equity. This entity was formed for the sole purpose of developing a commercial multifamily property in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company anticipates the project construction to be completed by the end of 2026, with monetization of the Company's investment in the first half of 2028 upon rent stabilization of the project.

20. Income Taxes

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, at least 90% of taxable income (excluding 100% of net capital gains) must be distributed to stockholders. REITs that do not distribute a certain amount of taxable income in the current year are also subject to a 4% federal excise tax. Undistributed net income for federal income tax purposes differs from undistributed net income for GAAP purposes primarily due to the recognition of straight-line rent revenue, determining the basis of acquired assets, recording of impairments, the useful life and depreciation and amortization methods for real property and the provision for loan losses for financial reporting purposes versus bad debt expense for federal income tax purposes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") recognized a de minimis provision for federal and state income tax, which would be presented in other expenses on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The table below presents the effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026:

At March 31, 2026, the Company’s TRS had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.3 million. These losses were generated after 2017 and therefore may be carried forward indefinitely but may be used to offset only 80% of taxable income in any given year.

The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets based on available evidence, including the history of taxable income and projected future taxable income of the TRS.

SACHEM CAPITAL CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026

Because the TRS has generated cumulative losses in recent years and uncertainty exists regarding the timing of future taxable income, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all deferred tax assets at March 31, 2026.

The income tax provision for the Company differs from the amount computed from applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes due to non-taxable REIT income and other permanent differences including the non-deductibility of acquisition costs of business combinations for federal income tax reporting.

The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026.

21. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events from April 1, 2026 until the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Based on the evaluation, no adjustments were required in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contribution Agreement with Industrial Realty Group Global, LLC

On May 17, 2026, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Industrial Realty Group Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IRG Global”). The Contribution Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transaction”) were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, IRG Global will contribute to IRG Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership to be formed as a subsidiary of the Company prior to the Closing (as defined below) (the “Operating Partnership”), 100% of the outstanding membership interests of IRG Master Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IRG Master Holdings”), in exchange for (i) a number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) equal to the Transferee Consideration Units (as defined below) and (ii) a number of shares of Class B common stock of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) equal to the Transferee Consideration Units. IRG Master Holdings, together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates a portfolio of industrial real estate assets.

Prior to the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), which is expected to be by the end of 2026, the Company will complete a series of pre-closing reorganization steps, including (i) forming the Operating Partnership and contributing all or substantially all of its assets thereto, (ii) redomesticating from the State of New York to the State of Delaware, (iii) effecting a 20-to-1 reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding Common Shares, following which such shares will be redesignated as Class A common stock of the Company (the “Class A Shares”), (iv) authorizing a new class of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Shares”), (v) adjusting the conversion and anti-dilution rights applicable to the issued and outstanding preferred stock of the Company in accordance with the applicable certificate of designations to reflect the reverse stock split, and (vi) changing its corporate name to “IRG Realty Trust, Inc.”

The number of OP Units and Class B Shares to be issued to IRG Global at the Closing (the “Transferee Consideration Units”) will be calculated based on a formula set forth in the Contribution Agreement, subject to downward adjustment based on the aggregate shortfall in replacement value for any dispositions of IRG Master Holdings’ properties occurring during the Interim Period (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), other than dispositions with an aggregate shortfall of less than $3.0 million. The calculation of the Transferee Consideration Units was based on an assumed implied gross asset value of the IRG Global portfolio to be contributed of approximately $2.9 billion, with a net asset value of approximately $1.5 billion after approximately $1.4 billion of debt, and a deemed exchange value of the Company’s Common Shares at a price of $2.00 per share. Immediately following the Closing, IRG Global is expected to hold approximately 94.1% of the outstanding OP Units, with the Company retaining the remaining approximately 5.9% of the outstanding OP Units. Subject to certain restrictions, a holder of OP Units may require the Operating Partnership to exchange all or a portion of such holder’s OP Units for cash or, at the option of the Company, Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to the ownership, transfer, REIT qualification and other limitations set forth in the Operating Partnership Agreement (as defined below).

Company Overview

Sachem Capital Corp., a New York corporation, established in 2010 and completing an initial public offering in 2017, is a self-managed REIT that specializes in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing and managing a portfolio of first mortgage loans. The Company operates its business as one segment. The Company offers short-term (i.e., one to three years), secured, non-bank loans to real estate owners and investors to fund their acquisition, renovation, development, rehabilitation or improvement of properties located primarily in the northeastern and southeastern sections of the United States. The properties securing the Company’s loans are generally classified as residential or commercial real estate and, typically, are held for resale or investment. Each loan is typically secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate and may also be secured with additional collateral, such as other real estate owned by the borrower or its principals, a pledge of the ownership interests in the borrower by the principals thereof, and/or personal guarantees by the principals of the borrower. The Company does not lend to owner occupants of residential real estate. The Company’s primary underwriting criteria is a conservative loan to value ratio. In addition, the Company may make opportunistic real estate purchases and investments apart from its lending activities.

Recent Developments

Contribution Agreement with Industrial Realty Group Global, LLC

On May 17, 2026, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Industrial Realty Group Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IRG Global”). The Contribution Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transaction”) were unanimously approved by our Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, IRG Global will contribute to IRG Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership to be formed as our subsidiary prior to the Closing (as defined below) (the “Operating Partnership”), 100% of the outstanding membership interests of IRG Master Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IRG Master Holdings”), in exchange for (i) a number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) equal to the Transferee Consideration Units (as defined below) and (ii) a number of shares of our Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) equal to the Transferee Consideration Units. IRG Master Holdings, together with its subsidiaries, owns and operates a portfolio of industrial real estate assets.

Prior to the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), which is expected to be by the end of 2026, we will complete a series of pre-closing reorganization steps (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”), including (i) forming the Operating Partnership and contributing all or substantially all of our assets thereto, (ii) redomesticating from the State of New York to the State of Delaware, (iii) effecting a 20-to-1 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares, following which such shares will be redesignated as our Class A common stock (the “Class A Shares”), (iv) authorizing a new class of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Shares”), (v) adjusting the conversion and anti-dilution rights applicable to our issued and outstanding preferred stock in accordance with the applicable certificate of designations to reflect the reverse stock split, and (vi) changing our corporate name to “IRG Realty Trust, Inc.”

The number of OP Units and Class B Shares to be issued to IRG Global at the Closing (the “Transferee Consideration Units”) will be calculated based on a formula set forth in the Contribution Agreement, subject to downward adjustment based on the aggregate shortfall in replacement value for any dispositions of IRG Master Holdings’ properties occurring during the Interim Period (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), other than dispositions with an aggregate shortfall of less than $3.0 million.

The Closing of the Transaction is expected to occur by the end of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of our shareholders.

For additional information on the Contribution Agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2026 and Note 21 – Subsequent Events – to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management will base the use of estimates on (a) various assumptions that consider prior reporting results, (b) projections regarding future operations and (c) general financial market and local and general economic conditions. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the provisions for current expected credit losses and real estate owned, See Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies – to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income from commercial loans is recognized, as earned, over the loan period, whereas origination and modification fee revenue on commercial loans are amortized over the term of the respective notes.

CECL Allowance

We record an allowance for credit losses (“CECL”) in accordance with the CECL standard on our loan portfolio, including unfunded construction commitments, on a collective basis by assets with similar risk characteristics. This methodology replaces the probable incurred loss impairment methodology. In addition, interest and fees receivable and amounts included in due from borrowers, other than reimbursements, which include origination, modification and other fees receivable are also analyzed for credit losses in accordance with the CECL standard, as they represent a financial asset that is subject to credit risk. Further, CECL requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell. As allowed under the CECL standard that we have adopted, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date is compared to the net carrying amount of the loan when determining the allowance for credit losses for loans in pending/pre-foreclosure status, as defined. Fair value of collateral is reduced by estimated cost to sell if the collateral is expected to be sold. The CECL standard requires an entity to consider historical loss experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast of the economic environment. We utilize a loss-rate method for estimating current expected credit losses. The loss rate method involves applying a loss rate to a pool of loans with similar risk characteristics to estimate the expected credit losses on that pool of loans. In determining the CECL allowance, we consider various factors including (1) historical loss experience in our portfolio, (2) loan specific losses for loans deemed collateral dependent based on excess amortized cost over the fair value of the underlying collateral, and (3) our current and future view of the macroeconomic environment. We also utilize a reasonable and supportable forecast period equal to the contractual term of the loan plus any applicable short-term extensions that are reasonably expected for construction loans. Loans, interest receivable, due from borrowers, unfunded commitments, and (available-for-sale debt) investment securities are all presented on a net basis on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with expanded disclosures in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The change in the balances during the reporting period are recorded in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the provision for credit losses.

Real Estate Owned (“REO”)

REO acquired through foreclosure is initially measured at fair value and is thereafter subject to an ongoing impairment analysis. After an REO acquisition, events or circumstances may occur that result in a material and sustained decrease in the cash flows generated from the property or other market indicators, including listing data, may signal a

decline in the liquidation value. REO is evaluated for recoverability when impairment indicators are identified. Any impairment losses or recoveries are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our Loan Portfolio

The following table presents certain information regarding our real estate lending activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

(1) Includes new originations, modifications, and draws

(2) Includes default interest.

The following table presents additional information regarding the types of properties securing loans held for investment as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our allowance for credit losses is influenced by historical loss experience, current exposure by geographical region, current expected credit losses on loans in foreclosure based on fair value less cost to sell, non-performing status, and other supportable forecasts of economic conditions. A loan is considered non-performing once it has been delinquent on its monthly payments more than 90 days.

The following table presents the allowance for credit losses against unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

For further information, see Note 6 – Real Estate Owned (REO) — to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, the credit performance of our loan portfolio, and the effectiveness of our operating platform. These results are affected by a variety of factors, including demand for commercial real estate loans, competitive conditions in loan origination, the cost, structure, and availability of financing, operating expense levels, and the performance of the collateral securing our loans.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to three months ended March 31, 2025

Net (loss) income and net loss attributable to common shareholders are the primary metrics by which we assess our business performance. Accordingly, we closely monitor the following primary drivers of these metrics:

Net interest income

Net interest income represents the largest component of net income and is evaluated on both an absolute basis and relative to our provision for credit losses and operating expenses. Net interest income is generated when the yield earned on our loan portfolio exceeds the cost of financing those assets, which we primarily achieve through short- and long-term financing arrangements. Accordingly, we actively monitor financing market conditions and maintain ongoing dialogue with investors and financial institutions as we evaluate funding sources and cost of capital.

In evaluating net interest income, management monitors: (1) portfolio loan yields, (2) funding costs, (3) net interest spread, and (4) net interest margin. Net interest spread reflects the difference between the yield earned on our loans and the interest rates paid on our funding sources. Net interest margin represents net interest income, calculated as annualized interest income less annualized interest expense, expressed as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the applicable period.

Average loans outstanding are calculated using the arithmetic average of the unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment as of the end of each of the five most recent fiscal quarters.

Changes in net interest income are primarily driven by origination activity, changes in average outstanding loan balances (total, performing and nonperforming), and fluctuations in interest rates affecting asset yields and funding costs. Historically, portfolio growth driven by loan originations has been the primary contributor to increases in net interest income. Net interest income is evaluated both before and after interest expense associated with corporate debt and before and after provisions for credit losses.

Interest income from loans - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year, as further analyzed below.

• Average loans held for investment were $365.5 million and $370.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective yield on total loans held for investment was 10.0% and 8.5%, respectively.

Results are impacted by nonperforming loans and real estate owned, which do not contribute interest income.

• Average total performing loans held for investment were $270.9 million and $275.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective yield on performing loans was 13.5% and 11.5%, respectively.

The difference between total portfolio yield and performing loan yield reflects the impact of nonaccrual loans, which do not generate current interest income.

• Average nonperforming loans held for investment were $95.7 million and $97.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Interest income from limited liability company investments - Interest income generated from our investments in the Shem Creek funds and direct loan co-investment vehicles decreased from the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average capital deployed within certain direct loan co-investment vehicles during 2026. As underlying mortgage loans repaid, capital was returned to us and not redeployed at prior levels within those structures. In certain vehicles, our ownership percentage also declined during the period, further reducing its effective exposure.

The decrease in interest income was driven by lower average invested balances rather than changes in underlying loan yields or credit performance. The Shem Creek portfolios continue to consist primarily of short-duration, first mortgage loans, and there were no material changes in the contractual economics of those investments during the period.

We evaluate these minority investments as part of its broader capital allocation framework. Given the short-term nature of the underlying assets and the return of capital upon loan repayment, investment balances may fluctuate period to

period depending on repayment activity and redeployment decisions. Capital returned from these vehicles may be redeployed into other investment opportunities or retained to support liquidity and balance sheet objectives.

See Note 19 — Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Investments — to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs - consistent with the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily attributable to lower average borrowings but at higher average interest rates.

During 2025, as a result of maturing unsecured notes payable, we began repositioning its capital structure through the issuance of $100.0 million ($100.0 million and $90.0 million drawn as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively) of Senior Secured Notes due 2030. The secured notes replaced a portion of lower rate unsecured notes and reduced reliance on repurchase agreements and lines of credit.

We continue to evaluate refinancing strategies for upcoming maturities late 2026 and into 2027, with a focus on extending duration and optimizing cost of capital. Access to diversified funding sources remains a strategic priority as we balance liquidity, leverage, and shareholder returns.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 3.9% compared to 4.0% in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in net interest margin reflects both structural and cyclical factors. Structurally, refinancing activity during 2025 increased the weighted average cost of capital. Cyclically, lower average earning assets reduced interest-earning balances.

While asset yields remained strong on performing loans, 13.5% in first quarter 2026 as compared to 11.5% in the first quarter 2025, overall margin stabilization depends on continued resolution of nonperforming loans, normalization of earning asset levels, and disciplined origination activity at spreads consistent with current funding costs.

Net interest (loss) income after provision for credit losses, loss on sale of loans, and changes in valuation allowance

Credit risk management is central to our operating model. We seek to minimize credit losses through disciplined underwriting, active life-of-loan portfolio management, and targeted special servicing. We closely monitor portfolio credit performance, including delinquency trends and expected and realized credit losses, as a key indicator of overall operating results.

Provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to declines in collateral valuations for loans previously reserved and a credit loss of $3.9 million related to a loan restructuring. This non-cash loss relates to the Naples, Florida loan restructuring where we took control of the three completed condominium units and entitled land for development of four additional condominium units which is treated as a deed in lieu of foreclosure for accounting purposes. The loan restructuring was negotiated by management to recover the full carrying value of the mortgage note receivable on an undiscounted cash flow basis. Due to the length of time between taking over the project and receipt of the final cash flows from sales of the units under construction, we are required to record the assets received on a discounted cash flow basis. As a result, we recorded a $3.9 million charge in first quarter 2026. We believe the sales of the condominium units provides an opportunity to recover the fair value adjustment over time; however, actual recovery will depend on sales prices, timing, completion costs and market conditions.

We continue to apply a conservative collateral-dependent methodology for loans in foreclosure and pending foreclosure status. We evaluate the allowance quarterly based on updated appraisals, liquidation cost assumptions and macroeconomic forecasts under the CECL framework.

Total other income

Total other income remained relatively consistent from the corresponding period in the prior year, with underlying components shifting in composition rather than magnitude.

Fee income on loans - declined from the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower new loan origination volume. Origination and modification fees are recognized over the contractual life of the loan, and the decrease reflects the smaller average portfolio growth and reduced refinancing activity relative to the prior year.

Income from limited liability company investments - no material change from the corresponding period in the prior year. See Note 19 — Limited Liability Company ("LLC") Investments — to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other investment income - Other investment income varies based on the timing of realizations and performance of non-core investment holdings.

Loss on equity securities - The balance includes net mark-to-market losses on equity securities held within the investment portfolio. These losses reflect changes in fair value and are inherently subject to market volatility.

Other income - Other income consists primarily of ancillary revenue streams, including property-related income and miscellaneous recoveries. The increase from the corresponding period in the prior year reflects rents recognized on certain investments in developmental real estate and real estate owned and certain non-recurring recoveries.

Total operating expenses

Our operating expenses primarily include compensation and benefits for our employees, general and administrative expense including occupancy costs, professional fees for legal, consulting, and advisory services, costs related to investments in developmental real estate, foreclosure pursuits and the resolution and disposition of real estate owned. We monitor operating expenses in relation to profitability and the scale of our loan portfolio. Because origination volume and portfolio size influence the level and impact of operating expenses, we also closely monitor loan origination activity and key loan characteristics, including interest rates, loan-to-value ratios, estimated credit losses, and expected loan duration.

We continue to align operating expense levels with portfolio scale while preserving asset management intensity. As origination activity and earning asset levels increase, we expect to benefit from operating leverage as fixed overhead costs are absorbed over a larger asset base.

Total operating expenses increased from the corresponding period in the prior year as further discussed below.

Compensation and employee benefits - increased modestly from the corresponding period in the prior year, reflecting strategic additions to personnel during 2025 and performance-based compensation adjustments including stock-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year due to additional costs associated with our investments in developmental real estate, real estate owned, increased external audit fees and increased director fees.

Transaction expenses - expenses in the current year are associated with a contribution transaction as described earlier in the Recent Developments section. Additional material costs are expected to be incurred until that transaction closes.

Recovery of impairment loss on real estate owned - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year and relates to specific property-level valuation adjustments following updated market data and liquidation timelines.

Gain on sale of investments in developmental real estate, real estate owned and property and equipment, net - The current period reflects gains realized on the disposition of select real estate assets and developmental projects.

Other expenses - increased from the corresponding period in the prior year and primarily reflect operating costs associated with real estate owned, legal matters, and portfolio servicing.

Net (loss) income and net loss attributable to common shareholders

Net (loss) income and net loss attributable to common shareholders- Operating results for the first quarter of 2026 were negatively impacted by increases in valuation allowances, discounted cash flow fair value adjustment on loan restructuring recorded in provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment, and transaction expenses.

Book value per common share

The following table presents the calculation of our book value per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The decrease in book value per common share is primarily due to cash dividends declared and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2026 on issued and outstanding common shares and shares of Series A Preferred Stock totaling $3.5 million, or $0.07 per common share, and net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $6.1 million, or $0.13 per common share.

This quarter's net loss impacting the book value per common share was materially driven by 1) the non-cash discounted cash flow fair value adjustment on loan restructuring recorded in provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment of $3.9 million, or $0.08 per common share, and 2) contribution transactional expenses of $1.6 million or $0.03 per common share. The aggregate impact of both events is $5.5 million, or $0.11 per common share of book value decline from year end.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets at March 31, 2026 were $473.3 million compared to $460.0 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $13.3 million, or 2.9%. The increase was due primarily to increases in investments in developmental real estate of $36.3 million and other assets of $4.0 million offset by decreases in loans held for investment, net of $22.5 million and investments in limited liability companies of $3.9 million. The increase in investments in developmental real estate and decrease in loans held for investment, net is primarily driven by the Nautilus loan restructuring as described elsewhere in this report.

Total liabilities at March 31, 2026 were $307.7 million compared to $285.1 million at December 31, 2025, an increase of $22.6 million, or 7.9%. This increase is primarily due to increases in senior secured notes payable of $10.1 million, lines of credit of $10.0 million and advances from borrowers of $1.3 million.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s capital structure consisted of a mix of unsecured listed notes, senior secured notes, and revolving credit facilities. The increase in secured financing during 2025 reflects management’s strategy to diversify funding sources. While secured borrowings increased asset encumbrance, they also provide longer-term capital stability and improved liquidity flexibility. We monitor asset coverage ratios, covenant compliance and refinancing risk associated with upcoming maturities.

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2026 was $165.6 million compared to $174.9 million at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $9.3 million, or 5.3%. This decrease was due primarily to an aggregate of $3.5 million of dividends paid to holders of Series A Preferred Stock and common shares during the quarter and a net loss of $6.1 million for the period, offset by a $0.3 million increase in additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation.

Historically, we have distributed a substantial portion of our earnings to shareholders in order to maintain our REIT qualification. Dividend levels are determined by the Board of Directors based on taxable income, capital needs, liquidity, market conditions and regulatory requirements. Accordingly, dividend levels may fluctuate from period to period depending on operating performance, credit trends, asset repositioning activity and capital market access.

Sources and Uses of Funds

Our primary sources of cash include principal and interest payments on mortgage loans and various fees associated with such loans, proceeds from the sales of real property, net proceeds from offerings of equity securities and borrowings from our credit facilities. Our primary uses of cash include debt service payments (both principal and interest), new originations of loans held for investment, new investments in real estate, dividend distributions to our shareholders, and operating expenses.

These sources and uses of cash are reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as summarized below:

For a detailed breakdown of our cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, see our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

We project anticipated cash requirements for our operating needs as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Our short-term cash requirements primarily include funding of loans, transaction expenses, dividend payments, interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, including repayment/refinancing of the Notes maturing in December 2026 and March 2027, and payments for usual and customary operating and administrative expenses. Based on this analysis, we believe that our current cash balances, availability on our debt facilities, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the operations for the next 12 months.

Our long-term cash needs will include principal and interest payments on outstanding indebtedness including notes payable in the principal amount of $173.2 million maturing late in 2026 and in 2027, preferred stock dividends and funding of new mortgage loans. Specific to the maturities in 2026 and 2027, we believe that we will address these maturities through a combination of operating cash flow, credit facility capacity, secured financing alternatives and potential capital markets transactions, subject to market conditions. There can be no assurance that refinancing will occur on terms similar to existing obligations. We continue to proactively evaluate capital market access and balance sheet positioning in advance of these maturities. In general, funding for long-term cash needs will come from unused net proceeds from financing activities, operating cash flows, refinancing existing debt, and proceeds from sales of investment in developmental real estate and real estate owned.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of our requirements for capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2026, our contractual obligations include unfunded amounts of any outstanding construction loans and unfunded commitments for loans and limited liability company investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies — to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for explanation of recent accounting pronouncements impacting us.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2026, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified a material weakness in the design and operation of controls over the accounting and disclosure for complex, nonroutine transactions involving noncash loan workouts, asset acquisitions and related fair value measurements. Specifically, our controls were not designed and operating effectively to ensure sufficient contemporaneous fair value analysis and documentation of alternative accounting conclusions before management reached definitive accounting and disclosure conclusions for such transactions.

This material weakness related to the accounting and disclosure evaluation of the Company's February 2026 Naples, Florida assets transaction. As a result of the final accounting analysis, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment loss included in provision for credit losses related to loans held for investment in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The adjustment was recorded before issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Remediation Plan

Management is implementing remediation measures designed to address the material weakness, including: (i) a complex transaction trigger checklist for material noncash transactions, loan workouts, asset acquisitions, foreclosures and deeds-in-lieu, loan modifications with equity transfers and control changes; and (ii) enhanced review of definitive

accounting impact language in SEC filings when accounting conclusions remain preliminary or subject to auditor resolution. These efforts are ongoing as of the date of this filing.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation activities described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Factors

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026, other than as described below.

The consummation of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions which, if not satisfied or waived, would adversely impact our ability to complete the Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others: (1) the receipt by us of the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares approving the Transaction (the “Sachem Shareholder Approval”); (2) the absence of any injunction or other order prohibiting consummation of the Transaction; (3) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party, subject to customary material adverse effect and materiality qualifications; (4) the performance in all material respects by each party of its covenants and obligations under the Contribution Agreement; (5) the absence of "Material Adverse Effect" (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) on either party; (6) the receipt by each party of a tax opinion from nationally recognized REIT counsel; (7) the consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (8) the delivery by each party of the Determination Date Certificates (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (9) the delivery by each party of officer’s certificates regarding accuracy of representations and warranties; (10) the execution and delivery of specified transaction documents; and (11) other customary conditions specified in the Contribution Agreement. There can be no assurance these conditions will be satisfied or waived, if permitted.

In addition, although there is no financing condition to the closing of the Transaction, it is anticipated that we will enter into a new credit facility or other debt financing in connection with the Transaction. No assurance can be given that any new credit facility or other debt financing will be available in the amounts, at the costs or on the terms contemplated, or at all, and the inability to obtain such financing could materially and adversely affect our ability to close the Transaction.

Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance with respect to the timing of the closing of the Transaction, or that the Transaction will be completed at all.

Failure to complete the Transaction could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares and our future business and financial results.

We cannot assure you that the conditions to closing of the Transaction will be satisfied or waived or that the Transaction will be completed. If the Transaction is not completed, our ongoing business could be adversely affected and we will be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Transaction, including the following:

• upon termination of the Contribution Agreement under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay IRG Global a termination fee of $4.0 million;
• we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant transaction costs, including legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees, regardless of whether the Transaction closes; and
• the Transaction, whether or not it closes, will divert the attention of certain management and other key employees from our ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to us.

If the Transaction is not completed, these risks could materially affect our business and financial results and the market price of our Common Shares, including to the extent that the current market price of our Common Shares reflects, and is positively affected by, a market assumption that the Transaction will be completed.

The Contribution Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer from making a favorable proposal to us and, in specified circumstances, could require us to make a termination payment to IRG Global.

The Contribution Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any proposals for, or that could reasonably lead to, alternative transactions with a third party, or participate in discussions relating to an alternative transaction or a proposal or inquiry related thereto, furnish non-public information to third parties relating to an alternative transaction or a proposal or inquiry therefor, change our board of directors’ recommendation to our shareholders or enter into an agreement with respect to any proposal for an alternative transaction, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, IRG Global generally has an opportunity to offer to

modify the terms of the Contribution Agreement in response to any competing acquisition proposal before our board of directors may withdraw or qualify its recommendation with respect to the Transaction.

We will be required to pay IRG Global a termination fee of $4.0 million if the Contribution Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, including (i) a termination by us, prior to obtaining the Sachem Shareholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), (ii) a termination by IRG Global following a Transferee Parent Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) or our approval or entry into an alternative acquisition agreement, or (iii) certain terminations for failure to close by the outside date (which is April 30, 2027), our uncured terminating breach or failure to obtain the Sachem Shareholder Approval, in each case, if a qualifying competing acquisition proposal has been announced, disclosed or otherwise communicated prior to such termination and, within 12 months after the termination, we consummate, or enter into and subsequently consummate, a competing acquisition transaction.

These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer or other third party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of us or our assets from considering or proposing such a competing transaction, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the value implied by the Transaction. These provisions also might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price to holders of our Common Shares than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination payment that may become payable to IRG Global in certain circumstances under the Contribution Agreement.

If the Contribution Agreement is terminated and after the termination we seek another business combination, we may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Transaction.

The pendency of the Transaction could adversely affect our business and operations.

In connection with the pending Transaction, some borrowers, lenders, noteholders, service providers or other counterparties may react unfavorably or delay or defer decisions concerning their business relationships or transactions with us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether the Transaction is completed. In addition, due to certain restrictions in the Contribution Agreement on the conduct of our business prior to completing the Transaction, we may be unable (without IRG Global’s prior written consent), during the pendency of the Transaction, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake certain significant financing transactions, originate new loans above specified thresholds, enter into or modify certain material contracts and otherwise pursue other restricted actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial, and such restrictions may cause us to forego certain opportunities we might otherwise pursue absent the Contribution Agreement. In addition, the pendency of the Transaction may make it more difficult for us to effectively retain and incentivize key personnel and may cause distractions from our strategy and day-to-day operations for our current employees and management.

We and/or IRG Global may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits and other legal or regulatory proceedings, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Transaction from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into significant transaction agreements. Lawsuits or other proceedings may be brought against us and/or IRG Global challenging, among other things, the adequacy of the disclosures in the proxy statement or other disclosures we make in connection with the Transaction, the process conducted by our respective boards of directors, the terms of the Contribution Agreement, alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by our respective directors and/or officers, or the fairness of the consideration in connection with the Transaction. Even if such lawsuits or other legal or regulatory proceedings are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources from us and/or IRG Global. An adverse judgment in any such lawsuits or proceedings could result in monetary damages payable by us and/or IRG Global, which could have a negative impact on our and/or IRG Global’s liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the pendency of such litigation could create uncertainty and negatively affect our relationships with borrowers, lenders, noteholders, service providers and other counterparties, and could impair our ability to recruit and retain employees.

Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Transaction, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Transaction from being completed, which may exacerbate the other risks described herein and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any such delay could also result in the Transaction not being consummated before the outside date (which is April 30, 2027), which could give rise to termination rights under the Contribution Agreement. Even if we are ultimately successful in defending against such claims, the costs and distraction of litigation during the pendency of the Transaction could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our Common Shares.

Our existing shareholders will experience substantial dilution, and IRG Global will have significant influence over us, as a result of the Transaction.

If the Transaction is completed, our existing shareholders will experience substantial dilution of their economic ownership and voting power. Immediately following the closing of the Transaction, IRG Global is expected to hold approximately 94.1% of the outstanding OP Units of the Operating Partnership, with our existing common shareholders retaining ownership of approximately 5.9% on a fully diluted basis. IRG Global also will receive Class B Shares in the Transaction, which will have no economic rights, but are expected initially to represent, in the aggregate, 51% of the total voting power of all outstanding common shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors for so long as IRG Global’s aggregate economic interest in the Operating Partnership equals or exceeds 51% of the outstanding OP Units. In addition, the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership will provide IRG Global, for so long as it owns more than 35% of the outstanding OP Units, with consent rights over specified material actions of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, equity issuances to third parties, debt incurrence, distributions, property acquisitions and dispositions, material contracts, leases and capital expenditures above certain thresholds, and hiring or terminating property managers or key executives.

As a result, following the closing of the Transaction, our existing shareholders will have significantly less influence over the management, policies and operations of the combined company than they currently have with respect to Sachem. The interests of IRG Global may differ from the interests of our existing shareholders, and IRG Global’s ownership and governance rights may make it more difficult for existing shareholders to influence significant corporate decisions. These effects may adversely affect the market price of our securities and may discourage a third party from seeking to acquire us or otherwise engage in a strategic transaction with us following the closing of the Transaction.

The Transaction represents a strategic transformation of our business, and we may not be able to successfully operate the combined company or realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction.

Historically, we have operated as a real estate finance company that specializes in originating, underwriting, funding, servicing and managing a portfolio of short-term loans secured by first mortgage liens on real property. If completed, the Transaction will result in a significant transformation of our business, asset base, operations and investment strategy, as an industrial property REIT with a real estate capital solutions platform.

The management and operation of an industrial property REIT require different expertise and experience, and involve different risks, than those associated with our historical real estate finance business, including risks relating to property ownership and operation, leasing, tenant credit, occupancy levels, capital expenditures, environmental matters, property-level expenses, financing, asset management and competition in the industrial real estate sector. Although we expect to benefit from property management and other agreements with affiliates of IRG Global, we may not have sufficient experience, personnel, systems, controls or resources to manage these risks effectively following the closing of the Transaction. We also may not be able to successfully implement the combined company’s business strategy, realize the expected benefits of the Transaction, manage the contributed portfolio, integrate the contributed business with our existing operations or operate the combined company in a manner that produces the results we expect. If we are unable to manage this strategic transformation successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the market price of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to properly remediate this material weakness or if we are otherwise unable to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, material misstatements in our financial statements could occur and we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common shares, and our ability to remain listed on the NYSE American.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the design and operation of controls over the accounting and disclosure for complex, nonroutine transactions involving noncash loan workouts, asset acquisitions and related fair value measurements, and specifically, not sufficiently performing and documenting the reasonableness of significant assumptions used therein. See Part I, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” of this quarterly report for additional information about this material weakness and our remediation efforts.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting

firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common shares could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory investigations. We continue to evaluate and implement steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time-consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the management review control operates for a sufficient period of time and management concludes, through testing, that the control operates effectively. If we do not successfully remediate the material weakness, or if other material weaknesses or other deficiencies arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, specifically potential goodwill impairments, which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports, which could adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common shares, and our ability to remain listed on the NYSE American.
