ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On October 13, 2016, TRU 2016-1 Depositor, LLC (the “Depositor”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Toys “R” Us, Inc., commenced marketing efforts for $512 million of CMBS financing. In connection with the CMBS financing, the Depositor will offer, in a private placement, $512 million commercial-mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”), representing beneficial interests in a trust fund consisting of floating-rate first mortgage loan obligations of Toys “R” Us Property Company II, LLC (the “Borrower”).
The Borrower intends to use the net proceeds of the mortgage loan funded through the CMBS financing, together with the net proceeds of $88 million of mezzanine financing and other available cash, to fund the redemption of the Borrower’s 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). As previously announced on a Form 8-K filed on October 4, 2016, the Notes have been called for redemption pursuant to a conditional notice of redemption.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Any offer of securities will be made only by means of a private offering circular. The Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
