Good morning and welcome to TPG Real Estate Finance Trust's conference call for the fourth quarter of 2020. I'm joined today by Greta Guggenheim, Chief Executive Officer, Matt Coleman, President, Bob Foley, Chief Financial Officer, and Peter Smith, Chief Investment Officer. Greta, Matt, and Bob will share some comments about the quarter and the year, and then we'll open up the call for some questions. Yesterday evening, we filed our Form 10-K and issued a press release with a presentation of our operating results. all of which are available on our website in the investor relations section. I'd like to remind everyone that today's call may include forward-looking statements which are uncertain and outside of the company's control. Actual results may differ materially. For a discussion of some of the risks that could affect results, please see the risk factors section of our 10-K. We do not undertake any duty to update these statements, and we will also refer to certain non-GAAP measures on this call. And for reconciliations, you should refer to the press release and our 10-K. With that, I turn the call over to Greta Guggenheim, Chief Executive Officer of TPG Real Estate Finance Trust.

Good morning, and welcome to our fourth quarter conference call. As I suspect you may have read, I announced I will be retiring from my position as CEO and resigning from the board as of the end of this quarter. I've been thinking about my retirement for some time, actually since late 2019, and after having helped build the company and with the intention of leaving it well positioned for future growth. This was delayed a bit, but with the strength of our balance sheet restored, our strong liquidity position, and with our experienced management and origination teams, I feel now is a good time to move on. The firm has asked, and I have gladly accepted, to stay on as an advisor to the business through this transition period. I want to thank TPG and the TRTX team for their commitment and support. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished over these last five years and know the company is well positioned for continued success. With that, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to our president, Matt Coleman. Matt has assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the company and TPG and the board will jointly conduct a search for a new CEO. Matt and Bob will now provide the earnings readout and share some comments about 2020 and the past quarter. Thank you.
