Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 27, 2025, Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of August 1, 2025 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, as depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee, and BellOak, LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, of BANK5 2025-5YR16, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-5YR16 (the “Certificates”). An executed version of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement was included as Exhibit 4.1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity on August 13, 2025 (SEC Accession No. 0001539497-25-002113).

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in BANK5 2025-5YR16 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed on August 27, 2025 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets are forty (40) fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on one hundred eighty (180) commercial and/or multifamily properties (the “Mortgaged Properties”).

The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as “Aman Hotel New York”, which is an asset of the Trust, is part of a whole loan (the “Aman Hotel New York Whole Loan”) that includes the Aman Hotel New York Mortgage Loan and three other loans that are pari passu to the Aman Hotel New York Mortgage Loan (the “Aman Hotel New York Pari Passu Companion Loans”). The Aman Hotel New York Pari Passu Companion Loans are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Aman Hotel New York Whole Loan, including the Aman Hotel New York Mortgage Loan, is to be serviced and administered (i) until the securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) from and after the securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization. The securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1 occurred on October 8, 2025, and accordingly as of such date, the Aman Hotel New York Whole Loan, including the Aman Hotel New York Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to (i) a pooling and servicing agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is dated as of October 1, 2025, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer (the “WFCM 2025-5C6 PSA”), and (ii) the related Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as to which an executed version was included as Exhibit 4.11 to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity on August 13, 2025 (SEC Accession No. 0001539497-25-002113).

The terms and conditions of the WFCM 2025-5C6 PSA applicable to the servicing of the Aman Hotel New York Mortgage Loan (including without limitation regarding the special

servicing of the mortgage loans held by the Issuing Entity and the special servicer's duties regarding such mortgage loans, including limitations on the special servicer's liability under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and terms regarding the special servicer’s removal, replacement, resignation or transfer) are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as described in the Prospectus (SEC File Number 333-283510-03) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2025 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) (the “Prospectus”) in the section captioned “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”. However, the servicing arrangements will differ in certain respects, as described below and in the Prospectus in the section captioned “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

The related Non-Serviced Master Servicer will earn a primary servicing fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan that is to be calculated at 0.00125% per annum.

Upon the related Whole Loan becoming a specially serviced loan under the WFCM 2025-5C6 PSA, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will earn a special servicing fee payable monthly with respect to such Mortgage Loan accruing at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum, subject to a monthly minimum fee of $5,000, until such time as the related Whole Loan is no longer specially serviced.

The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is entitled to a workout fee equal to 1.00% of each payment of principal and interest (other than default interest) made by the related borrower after any workout of the related Whole Loan. Such fee is subject to a floor of $25,000 with respect to any particular workout of the related Whole Loan.

The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is entitled to a liquidation fee equal to 1.00% of net liquidation proceeds received in connection with the liquidation of the related Whole Loan or Mortgaged Property, subject to a floor equal to the lesser of (i) 3.00% net liquidation proceeds and (ii) such rate as would result in an aggregate liquidation fee equal to $25,000.

Capitalized terms used in this section without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
