Forward-Looking Statements and Other Matters

This release may contain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "illustrative", "representative", "expect", "plan", "will", "estimate", "project", "intend", "believe", and other similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views about future events, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause Company's actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all).

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and growth prospects; market demand for ground lease capital; the Company's ability to source new ground lease investments; the availability of funds to complete new ground lease investments; risks that the rent adjustment clauses in the Company's leases will not adequately keep up with changes in market value and inflation; risks associated with certain tenant and industry concentrations in our portfolio; conflicts of interest and other risks associated with the Company's external management structure and its relationships with iStar and other significant investors; risks associated with using debt to fund the Company's business activities (including changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, the ability to source financing at rates below the capitalization rates of our assets, and refinancing and interest rate risks); risks that tenant rights in certain of our ground leases will limit or eliminate the Owned Residual realizations from such properties; general risks affecting the real estate industry and local real estate markets (including, without limitation, the potential inability to enter into or renew ground leases at favorable rates, including with respect to contractual rate increases or participating rent); dependence on the creditworthiness of our tenants and their financial condition and operating performance; competition from other ground lease investors and risks associated with our failure to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and any subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for further discussion of these and other investment considerations. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Important Note re COVID-19: Our first quarter operations occurred largely before the COVID-19 pandemic materially affected the US economy. Readers of this presentation are cautioned that our results for the first quarter may not be indicative of our results for the remainder of 2020. Similarly, our Ground Rent Coverage and UCA as of March 31, 2020 are likely to decline with respect to certain properties in future periods due to the impact of the pandemic, and any such decline may be material. Readers are urged to read our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 when it is filed with the SEC for a more fulsome discussion of our first quarter results, including the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" sections included therein.

Note: Please refer to the Glossary at the end of this presentation for a list of defined terms and metrics.

Unrealized Capital Appreciation (UCA) is calculated as today's estimated Combined Property Value (CPV) less the Aggregate Cost Basis of SAFE's portfolio. CBRE conducts independent appraisals of the CPV of each property(1).

The Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary called "CARET" that is structured to track and capture Unrealized Capital Appreciation. Under a shareholder- approved plan, management has earned up to 15% of UCA, subject to time-based vesting(2).

Note: Please see the "Important Note re COVID-19" in the front of this presentation for a statement about metrics this quarter. Refer to the Glossary in the Appendix for a definition of Owned Residual Portfolio and Unrealized Capital Appreciation.

  1. SAFE relies in part on CBRE's appraisals in calculating Owned Residual Portfolio and Unrealized Capital Appreciation. SAFE may utilize management's estimate of CPV for ground lease investments recently acquired that CBRE has not yet appraised. For forward commitments on construction deals, CPV represents the cost to build inclusive of the ground lease. Please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 23, 2020 and "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

March 31, 2020 as updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic reports, filed with the SEC, for a further discussion of such tenants' rights.

Represents Cost Basis plus forward commitments. For forward commitments, it represents the aggregate contractual purchase price to be paid under the commitments.

Represents the Current Portfolio plus forward commitments. For forward commitments, it represents the contractual purchase price to be paid under the commitments.

Calculated as the annualized base Cash Rent for ground leases plus Percentage Rent.

Represents ground lease income recognized excluding straight-line rent, amortization of lease intangibles, and non-cash income from sales-type leases.

Represents the historical purchase price of an asset, including capitalized acquisition costs.

The current combined value of the land, buildings and improvements relating to a commercial property, as if there was no ground lease on the land at the property. CPV is generally based on independent appraisals; however, the Company will use actual sales prices/management estimates for recently acquired and originated ground leases for which appraisals are not yet available. In relation to forward commitments, CPV represents the total cost associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of the project.

Represents the portfolio of assets owned at the date indicated, measured using Gross Book Value. Does not include forward commitments.

Effective Yield is computed similarly to effective yield on a bond, using the rate implicit in the lease based on the contractual future cash flows and a residual equal to our cost of the land.

Represents the historical purchase price of an asset plus accrued interest on sales type leases.

Calculated as the Aggregate GBV divided by CPV. Safehold uses this metric to assess risk and our seniority level in a real estate capital structure. Similar to the concept of the LTV metric used in the loan market.

The all-in stated interest rate over the term of debt.

Represents the portfolio of properties under which Safehold owns a ground lease and reflects Safehold's right to the property and tenant improvements at the end of the lease. The current value of the Owned Residual Portfolio is typically represented by the Combined Property Value or CPV of our portfolio.

Represents TTM percentage rent of ground lease assets.

Represents the net operating income of the building/Safehold's ground lease tenant prior to paying ground lease rent.

The ratio of Property NOI or estimated Property NOI to the Annualized Cash Rent due to Safehold. The Company uses estimates of the stabilized Property NOI if it does not receive current tenant information and for properties under construction or transition, in each case based on leasing activity at the property and available market information, including leasing activity at comparable properties in the relevant market.

A ground lease originated and structured by Safehold.

Current quarter revenue from operating and sales type leases recognized by GAAP annualized.

The Effective Yield of a ground lease using our underwriting assumptions. This includes estimated land value annual growth of 2%.

Calculated as the difference between CPV and the portfolio's Aggregate Cost Basis. The Company believes Unrealized Capital Appreciation

represents additional potential value to SAFE stockholders through the reversion rights embedded in standard ground leases.
