| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | (a) - (b) As of the date hereof, ACRES Share Holdings, LLC directly
holds 966,347 shares of common stock. ACRES Share Holdings, LLC is a subsidiary of the Manager. Voting and dispositive power over shares
held by the Manager are exercised by the board of directors of ACRES Capital Corp. Each of the five directors of ACRES Capital Corp.,
which include Messrs. Fentress and Fogel, Chairman and CEO/President, respectively, of the Issuer, has one vote, and the approval of a
majority is required to approve an action. Under the so-called “rule of three” if voting and dispositive decisions regarding
an entity’s securities are made by three or more individuals, and voting or dispositive decisions require the approval of a majority
of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entity’s securities. The aggregate number and percentage of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person set forth on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is calculated based on 7,958,714 shares of common stock outstanding, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 of ACRES Commercial Realty Corp., Inc. as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2024. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons (other than ACRES Share Holdings, LLC which directly holds the shares of common stock reported on this Schedule 13D) is the beneficial owner of the common stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. |
