CT Legacy Portfolio: CTOPI
CTOPI
is
a
private
equity
real
estate
fund
that
we
sponsored
and
formed
in
2007.
The
fund
invested  
$491.5 million in 39 transactions between 2007 and 2012, of which $291.8 million has been realized and
$199.7 million remains outstanding (carried at 137% of cost) as of June 30, 2013.
The carried interest in CTOPI entitles us to earn incentive compensation in an amount equal to 17.7% of the
fund’s profits, after a 9% preferred return and 100% return of capital to the CTOPI limited partners.
We own a net 55% of the carried interest of CTOPI’s general partner; the remaining 45% is payable
under incentive awards to our former employees.
As of June 30, 2013, Blackstone Mortgage Trust was allocated $13.5 million of carried interest from CTOPI
based on a hypothetical liquidation of the fund, reduced by tax-advance distributions received for a net
asset of $12.1 million. Other than tax-advance distributions, we have not received any cash payments from
CTOPI.
The net carried interest allocation of $12.1 million, increased $1.7 million from 1Q, and is based on the
fair value of CTOPI’s net assets.
Recognition
of
the
revenue
related
to
the
CTOPI

interest
has
been

resulting
in
no
