Key Details

• Offering amounts: Public Certificates = $650,523,000; Private Certificates = $79,377,560.
• Assets: the trust will hold 32 fixed‑rate mortgage loans secured by commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties.
• Sellers / loan sources: Mortgage loans to be acquired from Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (CREFI), Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (GSMC), German American Capital Corporation (GACC) and Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. (purchase agreements attached as exhibits).
• Structure notes: Certificates include multiple public classes (A-1, A-2, A-3, X-A, X-B, A-S, B, C), private classes (X-D, D, E, F-RR, G-RR, R) and a Class VRR (an uncertificated risk‑retention interest). Several loans are part of “Whole Loans” governed by co‑lender and outside servicing agreements (exhibits attached).

Why It Matters

• This filing informs investors about a planned CMBS issuance backed by a diversified pool of 32 commercial mortgage loans, with detailed legal documents (pooling & servicing, loan purchase and co‑lender agreements) attached to the 8‑K. The split between public and private certificates and the presence of a VRR risk‑retention interest are important for understanding allocation of credit risk and who can buy which tranches.
• Retail investors should note the offering size, closing timing (around May 26, 2026), and that private certificates are being sold in a transaction exempt from SEC registration under Section 4(a)(2). For more detail on loan collateral, tranche cash flows, or pricing per class see the Depositor’s Prospectus (May 8, 2026) and the attached underwriting/pooling agreements.
