On September 2, 2016, Realty Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, RFT BB Loan, LLC, entered into a Second Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement and Second Amendment to Fee Letter (the “Second Amendment”), with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), amending that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2014 (the “Barclays Repo Facility”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement and First Amendment to Fee Letter, dated as of May 12, 2016 (the “First Amendment”). In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company paid Barclays an extension fee of $1,245,000 and repaid $10,000,000 of principal on the Barclays Repo Facility plus applicable exit fees.

 

The Second Amendment extended the maturity date of the Barclays Repo Facility to October 6, 2016, with an option for the Company to extend the maturity date to March 6, 2017, if certain conditions are satisfied, and if the Company determines that a further extension is in its best interests. The conditions for an extension to March 6, 2017 include payment of an extension fee of 1.0% of the maximum facility purchase price and a change in the Company’s external manager. In the event the maturity date is extended to March 6, 2017, the Company will be required to make certain mandatory principal payments prior to maturity. The Second Amendment also provides for an amended pricing schedule.

 

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
