$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. 21

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.
