Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On May 30, 2012, Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Wells Fargo, National Association, as master servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, of COMM 2012-CCRE1 Mortgage Trust Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-CCRE1 (the “Certificates”).  The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”) were sold to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and CastleOak Securities, L.P., as underwriters (collectively, in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated May 18, 2012, between the Registrant, GACC and the Underwriters.

On May 30, 2012, the Class X-B, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class V, Class LR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”) were sold to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as initial purchasers (collectively, in such capacities, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated May 18, 2012, between the Registrant, GACC and the Initial Purchasers.  The Privately Offered Certificates were sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in COMM 2012-CCRE1 Mortgage Trust, a common law trust fund formed on May 30, 2012 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Issuing Entity’s primary assets are 54 fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on 76 commercial and multifamily properties.  The net proceeds of the sale of the Certificates were applied to the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Registrant from Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. and German American Capital Corporation.

In connection with the issuance and sale to the Underwriters of the Publicly Offered Certificates, a legal opinion was rendered related to the validity of, and certain federal income tax considerations relating to, the Publicly Offered Certificates, which legal opinion is attached as an exhibit to this report.
