- Shares owned after transaction: The reported shares are owned directly by CIM Real Estate Finance Management, LLC (the Manager). Ressler may be deemed to beneficially own such shares due to his role but disclaims beneficial ownership except for any indirect pecuniary interest.

Context
- These entries reflect RSU vesting and settlement (derivative conversion and cash settlement), not open-market buying or selling by the individual insider. The Manager received a mix of stock and cash as described (50/50 settlement), and the shares issued were reallocated by the Manager to employees/affiliates. For retail investors, such vesting/distribution events are routine compensation settlements and do not necessarily signal the insider’s personal buying/selling intent.
