As previously disclosed, Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company had satisfied the minimum offering requirement and the Company’s board of directors had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the Company issued and sold 27,859,345 shares of the Company’s common stock (consisting of 23,763,345 Class S shares and 4,096,000 Class I shares; no Class T or Class D shares were issued or sold as of such date) in the Offering and the escrow agent released net proceeds of approximately $279 million to the Company as payment for such shares.
