Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 3, 2016, NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc. (“NorthStar Income II”), through its operating partnership, entered into a Membership Interest and Note Sale-Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with NorthStar Realty Finance Limited Partnership (the “Seller”), an affiliate of a company managed by NorthStar Income II’s sponsor. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, NorthStar Income II agreed to, among other things, acquire 100% of the membership interests (the “Transaction”) in PE Investments-T CAM2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which owns a diversified portfolio of limited partnership or similar equity interests (“Interests”) in 41 real estate private equity funds (the “Funds”) managed by 20 institutional-quality sponsors (the “PE Fund Portfolio”) with an aggregate reported net asset value of approximately $344.3 million as of March 31, 2016 (the “Record Date”). The PE Fund Portfolio holds interests in assets that are diversified geographically across 24 states and internationally and diversified by investment type, including mixed-use, multifamily, office and hotel properties.

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, NorthStar Income II will acquire the PE Fund Portfolio at a price equal to 92.25% of the aggregate reported net asset value as of the Record Date. NorthStar Income II will pay approximately $273.1 million for the PE Fund Portfolio, with $68.3 million payable at the closing and $204.9 million payable on December 31, 2016, subject to adjustments for distributions and contributions following the Record Date. In addition, NorthStar Income II will assume $44.4 million of deferred purchase price obligations to third parties from whom the Seller had originally acquired certain of the assets within the PE Fund Portfolio and will agree to indemnify the Seller in connection with the Seller’s continuing guarantee of the payment of such deferred obligations. On August 19, 2016, the Purchase and Sale Agreement became binding to NorthStar Income II following the receipt by the board of directors of NorthStar Income II, including its independent directors, of third-party pricing support.

NorthStar Income II will be entitled to receive all distributions of cash flow and return of capital attributable to the Interests within the PE Fund Portfolio from and after the Record Date. Further, NorthStar Income II will be obligated to fund all additional capital contributions made from and after the Record Date for each acquired Interest. Although NorthStar Income II’s maximum future obligation for capital contributions is approximately $105.9 million, it currently expects to fund significantly less over the course of the investment. As of August 25, 2016, the net distributions to which NorthStar Income II will be entitled are in excess of $30.0 million, with additional distributions expected prior to closing.

The Transaction is expected to close on or around September 15, 2016 and must, in any event, close on or before September 30, 2016, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining third-party consents that are outside of the control of NorthStar Income II. If the general partner of a Fund withholds its consent to the Transaction and such consent is required under the applicable Fund operating agreement, such Fund Interest will be excluded from the Transaction, resulting in a purchase price adjustment as further described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Purchase and Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Purchase and Sale Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which agreement is incorporated by reference herein.
