Webinar to be Hosted on October 6 at 4:00 p.m. ET; Register Here

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund (ticker: BPRE, the "Fund") today announced that its next semi-annual BPRE Strategic Roadmap progress report webinar is scheduled for October 6, 2026, at 4pm ET.

The webinar, "BPRE Strategic Roadmap: A Progress Report", will feature Ryan MacDonald, Chief Investment Officer, and Steven Baffico, Head of Listed Products, who will review BPRE's progress in executing on the Fund's previously announced strategic roadmap to maximize shareholder value. The plan focuses on two primary pillars: rotating capital out of BPRE's legacy core+ institutional fund holdings into the specialty direct real estate investments it believes offer stronger total return potential, and consistently raising distributions.

"We are moving decisively to execute on the roadmap we have laid out for shareholders with the goal of maximizing value in BPRE," said Mr. MacDonald. "Capital rotation into our target high-growth sectors is well underway, and we look forward to walking investors through the real estate deals we have committed capital to, as well as the pipeline taking shape in the months to come."

BPRE has announced four distribution increases since listing, raising the Fund's distribution on NAV from 5.25% at listing in December 2025 to 7.0% in June 2026,¹ reflecting management's commitment to consistently raising distributions as it executes on its strategic plan.

Institutional and retail shareholders, along with financial professionals, may register for the webinar at go.bluerock.com/bh0BI2 or at www.bprefund.com. BPRE's May 2026 progress report presentation and highlights video may also be found at the Fund's website.

Some or all of the Fund's distributions may be deemed to be a return of capital. The Fund provides a notice of its best estimate of the sources of a distribution at the time of such distribution. Such notice and other detailed Fund information is available at bprefund.com.
