BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (NYSE:BRSP) ("BrightSpire Capital" or the "Company") announced that the Company priced BRSP 2024-FL2, a $675 million managed Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligation (the "2024-FL2 CLO") on August 1, 2024. The transaction is scheduled to close on August 15, 2024. The 2024-FL2 CLO is collateralized by interests in 22 first-lien floating-rate mortgages secured by 25 properties, with an 86.50% initial advance rate at a weighted average coupon at issuance of Term SOFR+2.47%, before transaction costs.

"The successful execution of our third managed CRE CLO evidences the strength of the platform and business strategy. The transaction was well received by a broad base of investors. We look forward to investing the liquidity generated from the transaction in new loan originations opportunities," highlighted Andy Witt, President and Chief Operating Officer of BrightSpire Capital.

Matthew Heslin, Chief Credit Officer and Head of Debt Capital Markets at BrightSpire Capital, added, "This transaction further diversifies our funding sources, while generating valuable liquidity and providing additional non-recourse, non mark-to-market, match term financing; the transaction serves as a cornerstone as we pivot toward deploying capital through new loan originations. As a seasoned and respected issuer and collateral manager, CRE CLOs will continue to be an important financing source for our business moving forward."
