NEW YORK, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation announces
that Developer/Entrepreneur Charles S. Cohen has paid the full balance of the judgment
debt held by Fortress Investment Group after more than two years of litigation, 
reports David López, General Counsel for Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation. Now 
that Mr. Cohen’s personal obligation to pay the Fortress judgment debt has been 
satisfied in full, the specter of a Receiver being appointed has been vacated and
rendered moot by operation of law."

Cohen was a 20+ year client of Fortress, and the many financings they closed were
financially rewarding to both parties for over two decades. The relationship deteriorated
in January 2024 when Cohen Brothers alleged that Fortress had reneged on a loan 
extension to a borrowing entity controlled by Cohen. Subsequently, a personal guarantee
of loan principal from Cohen was adjudicated in favor of Fortress.

"Charles Cohen has always honored his personal obligations," stated López. "The 
pay-off of the outstanding balance of the Fortress judgment is consistent with Mr.
Cohen’s integrity and confirms his character as an honorable businessman."
