Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On October 17, 2012, Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, custodian, certificate administrator, certificate registrar and authenticating agent, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, Situs Holdings, LLC, as trust advisor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2012-C6 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C6 (the “Certificates”).  The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class B, Class PST and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”) were sold to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as underwriters (collectively, in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated October 3, 2012, between the Registrant, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“MSMCH”) and the Underwriters.

On October 17, 2012, the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”) were sold to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as initial purchasers (collectively, in such capacities, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated October 3, 2012, between the Registrant, MSMCH and the Initial Purchasers.  The Privately Offered Certificates were sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2012-C6, a common law trust fund formed on October 17, 2012 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Issuing Entity’s primary assets are sixty-one (61) fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on seventy-six (76) multifamily and commercial properties.  The net proceeds of the sale of the Certificates were applied to the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Registrant from Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC and Bank of America, National Association.

The Registrant sold all of the Publicly Offered Certificates, having an aggregate certificate principal amount of $978,846,000, on October 17, 2012. The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the issuance of the certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of $4,440,000, were approximately $1,006,151,070.  Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, none were paid directly to affiliates of the Registrant, none were in the form of fees paid to the Underwriters unaffiliated with the Registrant, approximately $75,000 were expenses paid to or for the Underwriters and $4,365,000 were other expenses.  All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Registrant’s reasonable estimates of such expenses.  No underwriting discounts and commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Registrant; the Publicly Offered Certificates were offered by the Underwriters for sale to the public in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale.  The Registrant also sold to the Initial Purchasers on such date the Privately Offered Certificates, having an aggregate principal amount of $144,650,393, in each case in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.  Further information regarding such sales has been previously provided on the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed October 12, 2012 (including, as to the price per class of Publicly Offered Certificates, on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit thereto) and in its Prospectus Supplement, dated October 3, 2012, to the accompanying Prospectus, dated September 4, 2012.  The related registration statement (file no. 333-180779) was originally declared effective on September 10, 2012.

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