Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. Announces Pricing of $621 Million Commercial Real Estate CLO

Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE: GPMT) (“GPMT,” “Granite Point” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of GPMT 2021-FL4, an approximately $621 million managed Commercial Real Estate Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CRE CLO”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company expects approximately $503 million of investment grade securities to be placed with institutional investors, providing GPMT with term-matched financing on a non-mark-to-market and non-recourse basis. GPMT 2021-FL4 features an initial advance rate of 80.875% and a weighted-average interest rate at issuance of LIBOR + 1.68%, before accounting for transaction costs. The CLO is expected to close on or around November 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

Upon the closing of GPMT 2021-FL4, Granite Point will have sponsored four CRE CLOs totaling approximately $3.1 billion. The Company’s CRE CLO financings support its fundamental strategy of financing its portfolio of senior floating-rate mortgage loans with a well-diversified mix of funding sources, emphasizing term-matched, non-mark-to-market and non-recourse borrowings at an attractive cost of capital. Granite Point intends to apply the net cash proceeds from GPMT 2021-FL4 to repay outstanding balances on various repurchase facilities, after which the Company estimates the percentage of credit non-mark-to-market financing to be over 75% of its total borrowings.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, these or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
