Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance of Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-B30 (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, as paying agent and as custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in Benchmark 2021-B30 Mortgage Trust (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of 38 fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on 50 commercial and multifamily properties (the “Mortgaged Properties”).

The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as “Plaza La Cienega”, which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Plaza La Cienega Whole Loan”) that includes the Plaza La Cienega Mortgage Loan and certain other loans that are pari passu to the Plaza La Cienega Mortgage Loan (the “Plaza La Cienega Companion Loans”). The Plaza La Cienega Companion Loans are not assets of the Issuing Entity.

As of November 18, 2021, the Plaza La Cienega Whole Loan, including the Plaza La Cienega Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to (a) a pooling and servicing agreement, an executed version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “3650R 2021-PF1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among 3650 REIT Commercial Mortgage Securities II LLC, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, 3650 REIT Loan Servicing LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, and (b) the related Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as to which an executed version was attached to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity on November 16, 2021.

The servicing terms of the 3650R 2021-PF1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Plaza La Cienega Mortgage Loan are similar in all material respects to the servicing terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the other Mortgage Loans, but will differ in certain respects, as described in the section captioned “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus (SEC File Number 333-226943-11) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2); including but limited to that there will be no risk retention consultation party under the 3650 2021-PF1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
