The original schedule reported beneficial ownership of class A common shares of beneficial interest, $1.00 par value (the “Class A Common Shares”), in Capital Trust, a California business trust.

As reported in Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D, the Issuer effected a one (1) for three (3) reverse stock split which became effective April 2, 2003. This statement therefore relates to the shares of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Capital Trust, Inc. (hereinafter the “Issuer”), after giving effect to the reorganization and reverse stock split. The Issuer’s principal office is located at 410 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

The Reporting Persons as a group beneficially own 2,231,356 shares of Class A Common Stock, including (i) 2,013,420 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; and (ii) 217,936 shares of stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options and stock units. The foregoing shares represent approximately 14.4% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)).
