Additionally, we were pleased with the performance of our portfolio during the quarter, including the profitable resolution of our land position in Las Vegas. As we move into the second quarter and beyond, I am pleased to welcome Doug Bouquard to TRTX and TPG. With substantial liquidity and under Doug’s leadership, we believe that TRTX is well positioned to drive growth and strong shareholder returns.”
