Comment for Type of Reporting Person:

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 5") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Leonard M. Tannenbaum (the "Reporting Person") with respect to Advanced Flower Capital Inc. (the "Issuer") on April 2, 2021 (the "Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on July 2, 2024, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on August 26, 2025, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on August 29, 2025 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed on November 24, 2025. This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to report changes in the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Since the filing of the Reporting Person's most recent Schedule 13D/A, the Reporting Person has acquired additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock that resulted in an increase in the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership by more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. As the aggregate result of the transactions described herein, the Reporting Person's aggregate beneficial ownership of the Issuer' Commons Stock has increased by approximately 1.3 percentage points since the filing of the most recent Schedule 13D/A. The Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified. Lines 7 and 9 consist of 5,995,581 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person. Lines 8 and 10 consist of 180,400 shares of Common Stock held by the Tannenbaum Family Foundation (formerly known as the Leonard M. Tannenbaum Foundation), for which the Reporting Person serves as the President, over which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest. The Schedule 13D excludes 218,907 shares of Common Stock held by Ms. Robyn Tannenbaum, the Reporting Person's spouse, over which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership. Line 13 is based on the 23,528,844 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026.
