Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 11, 2015, certain special purpose wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase and Securities Contract (as amended, the “Wells Fargo facility”) to increase the facility amount for (i) U.S. Dollar borrowings from approximately $886.4 million to approximately $1.75 billion and (ii) Canadian Dollar borrowings from approximately C$675.4 million to approximately C$693.6 million. All other material terms, including the Company’s guarantee obligations with respect to the Wells Fargo facility, remain the same as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 1, 2015.

The Wells Fargo facility was entered into in accordance with the previously announced commitment by Wells Fargo to provide for $4.0 billion of secured financing to be used by the Company to finance a portion of the purchase price of a $4.6 billion portfolio of commercial mortgage loans (the “Loan Portfolio”). The Company used the additional funds made available under the Wells Fargo facility on June 11, 2015, together with proceeds of the equity offering which the Company completed on April 17, 2015, to finance a portion of the purchase price for the closing of 17 commercial mortgage loans secured by properties located in the United States and Canada and denominated in U.S. Dollars and Canadian Dollars, respectively. The Company anticipates that it will continue to amend or supplement the Wells Fargo facility to increase the facility amount as it completes the final stages of its acquisition of the Loan Portfolio.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 11, 2015, the Company completed an additional closing contemplated by the agreements governing the acquisition of the Loan Portfolio with the purchase of 17 loans representing an aggregate of approximately $1.0 billion of the Loan Portfolio based on currency exchange rates as of June 11, 2015. On a cumulative basis, including the aforementioned loans, the Company has closed on approximately $3.1 billion of the Loan Portfolio. Additional information regarding the consummation of the purchase of the 17 loans on June 11, 2015 is included in Item 1.01 above and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. The acquisition of the remaining assets comprising the Loan Portfolio is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2015. However, there can be no assurance that the closing of all or any portion of the remainder of the Loan Portfolio will occur.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
