Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 8, 2014, Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing it had commenced an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 8,500,000 shares of its class A common stock. The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,275,000 shares of class A common stock. On January 9, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering. Total estimated gross proceeds of the offering are $227.4 million, or $261.5 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full. In connection with the Offering, the Company has disclosed the following information in the related prospectus supplement, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
On December 31, 2013, the Company received an $8.8 million tax advance cash distribution in respect of taxable income allocated to the Company from its carried interest investment in CT Opportunity Partner I, LP, or “CTOPI.” Although the Company is not recognizing GAAP income from the CTOPI carried interest, the Company is allocated taxable income, which income impacts its 2013 dividend distribution requirements as a REIT. The CTOPI partnership agreement provides for cash-advance distributions of future carried interest payments based on the amount of taxable income allocated to the Company.
In October and November of 2013, CT Legacy Partners, LLC distributed proceeds from legacy loan resolutions totaling $100.0 million to its Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common shareholders. The receipt of the Company’s $46.6 million share of the distributions triggered its payments of $11.1 million to fully satisfy the related secured notes and $7.6 million under the CT Legacy Partners incentive plan, which in turn resulted in the recognition of aggregate interest and compensation expenses of $4.0 million, or $0.14 per share, pursuant to GAAP. The $28.0 million net cash flow to the Company is unrestricted and available for deployment by it in the loan origination segment of its business.
