The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the Issuing Entity, a common law trust to be formed on or about May 24, 2016 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets will be a pool of sixty-eight (68) commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). Certain of the Mortgage Loans are expected to be acquired by the Registrant from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and dated as of May 10, 2016, between the Registrant and Wells Fargo; certain of the Mortgage Loans are expected to be acquired by the Registrant from Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC (“Natixis”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and dated as of May 10, 2016, between the Registrant and Natixis; certain of the Mortgage Loans are expected to be acquired by the Registrant from Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC (“Rialto”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and dated as of May 10, 2016, between the Registrant and Rialto; certain of the Mortgage Loans are expected to be acquired by the Registrant from Silverpeak Real Estate Finance LLC (“Silverpeak”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and dated as of May 10, 2016, between the Registrant and Silverpeak; and certain of the Mortgage Loans are expected to be acquired by the Registrant from Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC (“Basis”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and dated as of May 10, 2016, between the Registrant, Basis and Basis Investment Group LLC.
