Represents the cash coupon (excluding fees) paid on our outstanding borrowings of $165.2 million as of June 30, 2013. Our credit facilities incur interest at LIBOR

plus spreads ranging between 1.75% and 3.25% per annum, depending on the attributes of the collateral assets.

Available borrowings is based on assets pledged as collateral under credit facilities as of June 30, 2013. There were two loans with an aggregate principal balance of

$173.8 million as of June 30, 2013 that were not pledged under repurchase agreements, and therefore are available to be pledged as collateral in the future.

Loan Capitalization

(1)

(Dollars in Millions)

Floating-Rate

Loans

Floating-Rate

Borrowings

•

$756.6 million of floating-rate loans, indexed

to one-month LIBOR.

•

$165.2 million of floating-rate liabilities, also

indexed to one-month LIBOR.

•

Return on $591.4 million of equity capital is

highly correlated to LIBOR.

–

All else equal, as of June 30, 2013, a

100bps increase in LIBOR would increase

our

net

income

by

$5.9

million

(2)

per

annum.

•

Our equity value is insulated from changes in

interest rates because both our loans and

borrowings are LIBOR-based.

Floating-Rate Business Model

Because of our LIBOR-based lending and funding business model, our returns increase with rising short-

term interest rates, and therefore our asset and equity values are insulated from such increases.

________________________________________________

(1)

Includes only our newly originated loan portfolio of $756.6 million, capitalized with $165.2 million of debt and $591.4 million of equity. Excludes the assets, liabilities, and equity

of our CT Legacy Portfolio.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust

CT Legacy Portfolio: CTOPI

CTOPI

is

a

private

equity

real

estate

fund

that

we

sponsored

and

formed

in

2007.

The

fund

invested  

$491.5 million in 39 transactions between 2007 and 2012, of which $291.8 million has been realized

and

$199.7

million

remains

outstanding

(carried

at

137%

of

cost)

as

of

June

30,

2013.

The carried interest in CTOPI entitles us to earn incentive compensation in an amount equal to 17.7% of

the fund’s profits, after a 9% preferred return and 100% return of capital to the CTOPI limited partners.

•

We own a net 55% of the carried interest of CTOPI’s general partner; the remaining 45% is payable

under incentive awards to our former employees.

As of June 30, 2013, Blackstone Mortgage Trust was allocated $13.5 million of carried interest from

CTOPI based on a hypothetical liquidation of the fund, reduced by tax-advance distributions received

for a net asset of $12.1 million. Other than tax-advance distributions, we have not received any cash

payments from CTOPI.

•

The net carried interest allocation of $12.1 million, increased $1.7 million from 1Q, and is based on

the fair value of CTOPI’s net assets.

•
