If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Deborah Ginsberg, Vice President, Secretary, and General Counsel. Thank you, and over to you.

Good morning, and welcome to TPG Real Estate Finance Trust's conference call for the first quarter of 2022. I'm joined today by Doug Picard, Chief Executive Officer, Matt Coleman, President, Bob Foley, Chief Financial Officer, and Peter Smith, Chief Investment Officer. Matt and Bob will share some comments about the quarter, and then we'll open up the call for questions. Yesterday evening, we filed our Form 10-Q 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 discussion of some of the risks that could affect results, please see the risk factor section of our form 10Q and 10K. 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 10Q. With that, I'll turn the call over to Matt Coleman, President of TPG Real Estate Finance Trust.

Thank you, Debra, and thanks to everyone for joining this morning's call. Before I turn to our results for the first quarter, I want to introduce Doug Bucard, who formally joined us last week as the CEO of TRTX and as a TPG partner. As most of you are aware, prior to joining TPG, Doug spent his entire 18-year career at Goldman Sachs, where he most recently served as a managing director and head of U.S. commercial real estate debt in the global markets division. In that role, he had oversight of the firm's commercial real estate debt origination activities, including securitized lending, balance sheet lending, and commercial real estate warehouse financing, as well as commercial real estate securities issuance. As I mentioned on our last earnings call, we've gotten to know Doug quite well over the last several months, and I couldn't be more pleased to welcome him to TRTX and to TPG. Doug's appointment is an important step for TRTX and the firm, and I look forward to partnering with him for many years to come. With that, let me pass it over to Doug for a few remarks.
