The company sold 183,867.095 Class I shares for $4,593,000 and 69,190.705 Class S shares for $1,736,603 (aggregate $6,329,603, which includes $9,603 in upfront selling commissions), pursuant to subscription agreements in which purchasers represented they were accredited investors.

Key Details

• Private share sale (Aug 3, 2026): Class I — 183,867.095 shares for $4,593,000; Class S — 69,190.705 shares for $1,736,603 (total consideration $6,329,603).
• July distributions (payable ~Aug 10, 2026; record date July 31, 2026): net per‑share amounts — Class S $0.1480; Class I $0.1660; Class NV‑1 $0.1660; Class NV‑2 $0.1660; Class F‑I $0.2168; Class F‑II $0.1901. No Class T or Class D shares outstanding as of the record date.
• Loan originations (July 2026): Nashville Multifamily 2 — $57.2M (368 units), interest = 1‑month SOFR + 2.35%, 2‑yr initial term + three 1‑yr extensions; Self Storage 9‑Pack — $76.1M (9 properties, 461,592 SF, 4,242 units across six states), interest = 1‑month SOFR + 2.75%, similar term; Dallas Multifamily 2 — $41.1M (325 units, Allen, TX), interest = 1‑month SOFR + 2.30%, similar term.

Why It Matters

• Capital and funding: The private stock sale raised about $6.33 million (net of the noted commission), which the company can use for lending, operations or other corporate needs. The sale was made under Regulation D to accredited investors.
• Income & cash flow: July distributions provide cash or reinvestment options to shareholders and reflect the company’s monthly payout practice; record date and per‑share amounts are specified.
• Loan portfolio growth: The three new first‑mortgage originations total roughly $174.4 million and are floating‑rate, interest‑only loans with short initial terms and extension options, which could affect near‑term interest income and rate sensitivity given their SOFR linkage.
