Weighted average amounts are weighted by the fair market value of each res pective investment. 1. Weighted Average Portfolio Yield on Debt Investments (“Portfolio Yield”) is the weighted average of the annualized yield f or each debt investment in the portfolio weighted by the fair value of each debt investment as of 12/31/24. The yield for each d ebt investment is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of ( i ) the stated annual cash interest rate of the debt investment as of 12/31/24, (ii) the stated annual payment - in - kind interest rate, if any, of the d ebt investment as of 12/31/24, (iii) the difference between the par value and the fair value of the debt investment, expresse d a s a percentage of the par value of the debt investment, and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 12/31/24, and (iv) the exit fee of the debt investment, if any, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of 12/ 31/24, by (b) the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment. The Portfolio Yield calculation does not reflect any prepayment penalties or early payoffs with respect to the debt investments. The Portfolio Yield is gross of expenses and excludes cash and equity hol di ngs. The Portfolio Yield would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. The Portfolio Yield does not represent actual investment returns to the Company’s stockholders an d t he Company may not actually realize the foregoing yield of any specific debt investment, including if the remaining term of t he debt investment is less than a year. 2. Represents the percentage of total annual interest expected to be received in kind instead of in cash. 3. Amounts were derived from the portfolio company fin ancial statements used in connection with determining the investment valuations as of 12/31/24, have not been independently v eri fied by the Company, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. 4. Excluded from the dat a i s information in respect of portfolio companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA, or where EBITDA may not be the appropriat e m easure of credit risk. 5.

The Cannabis Landscape in the U.S. Where Chicago Atlantic Sees Timely Opportunities THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY PRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO GENERATE ALPHA AND OUTSIZED RISK - ADJUSTED RETURNS LACK OF TRADITIONAL FINANCING Banks generally don’t lend to companies in the cannabis industry, allowing higher interest rates, attractive collateral, and lender - friendly covenants. LOW CORRELATIONS TO TRADITIONAL MARKETS The medical cannabis market behaves like the pharmaceutical market, and the recreational cannabis market behaves like the tobacco and alcohol markets, both exhibiting low correlations with traditional markets. HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY Each state has unique investment characteristics, supply and demand dynamics, and legal frameworks, requiring sophisticated understanding of the industry and strong underwriting expertise. FOCUS ON LIMITED LICENSE STATES Limited license states have limited competition, lucrative license values, high wholesale prices, and less black - market presence. 12
