SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 8, 2015, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our charter to increase the number of authorized shares of our stock from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000, including an increase in the authorized number of shares of our class A common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000. On April 10, 2015, we entered into an agreement, which we refer to as the Designation Agreement, to acquire a $4.6 billion portfolio of commercial mortgage loans, secured by properties located in North America and Europe, which we refer to as the Loan Portfolio, from General Electric Capital Corporation and certain of its affiliates. The purchase price for the Loan Portfolio is $4.4 billion, subject to certain adjustments, and we have agreed to assume $223.9 million of unfunded commitments. The acquisition is expected to close in stages beginning in the second quarter of 2015, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions. Concurrently with our entry into the Designation Agreement, we also entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo that will, subject to customary terms and conditions, provide for $4.0 billion of secured financing. The closing of the Wells Fargo facility is subject to the negotiation, in good faith, and the execution and delivery of definitive documentation acceptable to the parties and certain other customary terms and conditions. On April 17, 2015, we completed an underwritten public offering of 23,000,000 shares of our class A common stock, including 3,000,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their 30-day option to purchase additional sales. Net proceeds from the offering totaled $681.8 million and were received on April 17, 2015. We plan to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Loan Portfolio acquisition, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the offering, affiliates of our Manager purchased 1,229,508 shares of our class A common stock, and employees of affiliates of our Manager, including certain of our executive officers and directors, purchased 655,737 shares of our class A common stock, in each case, at the same $30.50 per share price offered to the public. We did not, however, pay the underwriters any fees for these affiliate share purchases. Blackstone Capital Markets acted as a co-manager of the offering, for which it was compensated approximately $750,000.
