Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 23, 2024, Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated and effective as of May 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Registrant, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, of BBCMS Mortgage Trust 2024-C26, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-C26 (the “Certificates”).

The Certificates will consist of the classes (each, a “Class”) designated as (i) Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Public Certificates”) and (ii) Class X-D, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class S and Class R Certificates (the “Private Certificates”).

The Public Certificates were sold to Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), SG Americas Securities, LLC (“SGAS”), BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO Capital Markets”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyBanc”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”) and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel” and, together in such capacity with Barclays, SGAS, BMO Capital Markets, UBS Securities, BofA Securities, DBSI, KeyBanc and Academy, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2024, among the Registrant, Barclays Capital Holdings Inc. (“BCHI”) and the Underwriters.

The Private Certificates were sold to Barclays, SGAS, BMO Capital Markets, UBS Securities, BofA Securities, DBSI, KeyBanc, Academy and Drexel (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2024, among the Registrant, BCHI and the Initial Purchasers. The Private Certificates will be sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in BBCMS Mortgage Trust 2024-C26 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund to be formed on May 23, 2024 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 46 commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). The net proceeds of the sale of the Certificates were applied to the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Registrant from Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. (“BCRE”), Societe Generale Financial Corporation, Bank of Montreal, UBS AG, by and through its branch office at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, Bank of America, National Association, Argentic Real Estate Finance 2, LMF Commercial, LLC, Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, German American Capital Corporation, Ladder Capital Finance LLC, KeyBank National Association and BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC.

On May 23, 2024, the Registrant sold all of the Public Certificates, having an aggregate certificate principal amount of $724,190,000. The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the issuance of the Certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of $1,108,041.49, were approximately $4,209,872.87. Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, approximately $106,890.44 were paid directly to affiliates of the Registrant, $44,687.49 in the form of fees were paid to the Underwriters, $111,718.72 were paid to or for the Underwriters and $3,957,933.37 were other expenses. All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Depositor’s reasonable estimates of such expenses.

 

Further information regarding such sales has been previously provided on the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Filing Date: May 13, 2024) and in the Prospectus, dated May 9, 2024 and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2024. The related registration statement (file no. 333-276033) was originally declared effective on April 12, 2024. 

In connection with the issuance and sale to the Underwriters of the Public Certificates, a legal opinion was rendered related to the validity of, and certain federal income tax considerations relating to, the Public Certificates, which legal opinion is attached as an exhibit to this report.

Credit Risk Retention

BCRE, in its capacity as retaining sponsor (in such capacity, the “Retaining Sponsor”), is satisfying its credit risk retention obligation under Regulation RR, 12 C.F.R. Part 244 (the “Risk Retention Rule”) in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans referred to above by the purchase on the Closing Date and holding by RREF V - D AIV RR H, LLC, acting as a third-party purchaser under the Risk Retention Rule, of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR Certificates (collectively, the “HRR Certificates”).

The HRR Certificates constitute an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as defined in the Risk Retention Rule) with a fair value of $42,691,951 that represents approximately 5.039% of the fair value of all Classes of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), based on actual sale prices and finalized tranche sizes pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement. If the Retaining Sponsor had relied solely on retaining an “eligible horizontal residual interest” in order to meet the credit risk retention requirements of the Risk Retention Rule with respect to this securitization transaction, it would have retained an eligible horizontal residual interest with an aggregate fair value dollar amount of approximately $42,364,217, representing 5.0% of the aggregate fair value, as of the Closing Date, of all Classes of Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates), excluding accrued interest.

There are no material differences between (a) the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus dated May 6, 2024 and as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2024 under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the certificates and (b) the valuation methodology or the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value set forth above in this paragraph.
