PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

June 13, 2024

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I being provided with these materials?

This proxy statementProxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card and annual report are first being sent to stockholders on or about May 4, 2020.April 5, 2024. We have delivered these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of OaktreeBrookfield Real Estate Income Trust Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us”“us,” “our company” and the “Company”) of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held by live audio webcast at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 16, 2020Thursday, June 13, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares via the Internet or to vote your shares by proxy via the Internet, by telephone or by mail.

What am I voting on?

There are two proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal No. 1: Election of the director nominees listed in this Proxy Statement.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the appointment of ErnstDeloitte & YoungTouche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2020.2024.

There is no cumulative voting for these proposals and appraisal rights are not applicable to the matters being voted upon.

Who is entitled to vote?

Stockholders as of the close of business on April 22, 2020March 15, 2024 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 18,306,57486,780,977 shares of common stock outstanding.outstanding including: 40,980,555 shares of Class I common stock, 33,383,911 shares of Class S common stock, 160,370 shares of Class D common stock, 8,842,761 shares of Class C common stock and 3,413,380 shares of Class E common stock. You have one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date, including shares:

Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”); and

Held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name”). Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank or nominee how to vote their shares.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence virtually in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” that are present and entitled to vote are counted for purposes of determining a quorum.

1


What is a “broker non-vote”?

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held through a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at its discretion. Proposal No. 1 is considered a non-routine matter, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposal. Proposal No. 2 is considered a discretionary matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?
Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”),

For Proposal No. 1, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote that are present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of each nominee for director. There is no cumulative voting.

For Proposal No. 2, under our Bylaws, approval of the proposal requires a majority of the votes cast, and under Maryland law, abstentions are not treated as “votes cast.”

It is important to note that the proposal to ratify the appointment of ErnstDeloitte & YoungTouche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 20202024 (Proposal No. 2) is non-binding and advisory. While the ratification of ErnstDeloitte & YoungTouche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, if our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, we will consider it notice to the Board and the Audit Committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”) to consider the selection of a different firm.

How are votes counted?

With respect to the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the nominees in Proposal No. 1.

With respect to the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2), you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” For Proposal No. 2, under Maryland law, abstentions will not affect the outcome.

If you sign and submit your proxy card without voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board with respect to the Proposals and in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote your shares:

“FOR” each of the director nominees set forth in this Proxy Statement.

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of ErnstDeloitte & YoungTouche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2020.2024.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS

We are externally managed by Oaktree Fund Advisors,Brookfield REIT Adviser LLC (the “Adviser”), an affiliate of Oaktree CapitalBrookfield Asset Management L.P. (togetherLtd. (“BAM” and together with itsBrookfield Corporation and their affiliates, “Oaktree”“Brookfield”), our sponsor.. Pursuant to an advisory agreement betweenamong us, Brookfield REIT Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser is responsible for implementing our investment strategy, which includes making investment decisions in constructing our portfolio and providing related portfolio management services, in accordance with our investment guidelines, policies and objectives and limitations, subject to oversight by our boardBoard of directors.

Directors.

Our Board of Directors manages or directs our business and affairs, as provided by Maryland law, and conducts its business through meetings of the Board of Directors and threeone standing committees:committee, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee.

We have structured our corporate governance in a manner we believe closely aligns our interests with those of our stockholders. Notable features of our corporate governance include:

our Board of Directors is not classified and each of our directors is subject to re-election annually;

our Bylaws provide for a majority vote standard in the election of directors;

we have fully independent Audit and Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts CommitteesCommittee and pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, only independent directors may nominate replacements for vacancies in the independent directors’ positions;

our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors; and

we have implemented a range of other corporate governance best practices.

Director Independence and Independence Determinations

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and committee chartersAudit Committee charter require a majority of the members of our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee, and all members of our Audit Committee and Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee to be “independent” directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines define independence in accordance with the independence definition in the current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance rules for listed companies, the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the provisions of our charter (the “Charter”)Charter and Bylaws, each as in effect from time to time. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require our Board of Directors to review the independence of all directors at least annually.

Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Mses. Beausoleil and Wigmore and Messrs. Cavanaugh, HeitnerEaddy, Farley and Martin and Ms. LongStelzl is independent under the guidelines for director independence under our Charter and Bylaws and all applicable NYSE guidelines and SEC rules including with respect to committee membership. Our Board also has determined that each of Ms. Beausoleil and Messrs. Cavanaugh, HeitnerEaddy and Martin and Ms. LongStelzl is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that each of Mr. Cavanaugh and Ms. Long is “independent” for purposes of Section 10C(a)(3) of the Exchange Act. In addition, our Board affirmatively determined that Wade W. Hundley, who resigned from our Board of Directors effective December 19, 2019, was independent under the guidelines for director independence under our Charter and Bylaws and all applicable NYSE guidelines and SEC rules including with respect to committee membership.. In making its independence determinations, our Board of Directors considered and reviewed all information known to it (including information identified through annual directors’ questionnaires).

Our Charter provides that a majority of our directors must be independent directors, except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director pending the election of a successor independent director. Our Charter defines an independent director as a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated, directly or indirectly, with Oaktreethe sponsor or ourthe Adviser. A director is deemed to be associated with OaktreeBrookfield or ourthe Adviser if he or she owns any interest (other than an interest in us or an immaterial interest in an affiliate of us) in, is employed by, is an officer or director of, or has any material business or professional relationship with Oaktree, ourBrookfield, the Adviser or any of their affiliates, performs services (other than as a director) for us, or serves as a director or trustee for more than three REITs sponsored by OaktreeBrookfield or advised by ourthe Adviser. A business or professional relationship or an interest in our sponsor, the Adviser or any of their affiliates will be deemed material per se if the gross incomerevenue derived by the director from Oaktree,Brookfield, the Adviser or any of their affiliates exceeds 5% of (1) the

director’s annual gross incomerevenue derived from all sources during either of the last two years or (2) the director’s net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect associationrelationship is defined to include circumstances in which the director’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- or fathers-in-law, sons- or daughters-in-law or brothers- or sisters-in-law is or has been associated with Oaktree, ourus, Brookfield, the Adviser or any of their affiliatesaffiliates.

For so long as the Advisory Agreement is in effect, the Adviser has the right to nominate, subject to the approval of such nomination by our Board of Directors, four affiliated directors to the slate of directors to be voted on by the stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that such number of director nominees shall be reduced as necessary by a number that will result in a majority of directors being independent directors. Our Board of Directors must also consult with the Adviser in connection with (i) its selection of each independent director for nomination to the slate of directors to be voted on at the annual meeting of stockholders, and (ii) filling any vacancies created by the removal, resignation, retirement or us.

death of any director.

Director Nomination Process

Because the Board of Directors believes that all of theour directors of the Company should be involved in the process of nominating persons for election as directors and the Company iswe are not required to have a nominating committee, the Board of Directors as a whole performs the functions of nominating committee and is responsible for reviewing the requisite skills and characteristics of the nominees for the Board of Directors. However, only independent directors may nominate replacements for vacancies in the independent director positions.

The Board of Directors weighs the characteristics, experience, independence and skills of potential candidates for election to the Board. In considering candidates for the Board, the Board also assesses the size, composition and combined expertise of the Board. As the application of these factors involves the exercise of judgment, the Board does not have a standard set of fixed qualifications that is applicable to all director candidates, although the Board does at a minimum assess each candidate’s demonstrated personal integrity and moral character, willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment for the long-term interest of stockholders, relevant business or professional experience, technical expertise or specialized skills, ability to work collegially with other members of the Board and ability to commit sufficient time to effectively carry out the duties of a director. Moreover, each director must have at least three years of relevant experience demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets being acquired by the Company, and at least one of the Independent Directorsindependent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience. In addition, although the Board considers diversity of viewpoints, background and experiences, the Board does not have a formal diversity policy.

In identifying prospective director candidates, the Board may seek referrals from other members of the Board, management, stockholders and other sources, including third party recommendations. The Board also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Board utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. Oaktree first recommended each of Messrs. Heitner, Martin and Cavanaugh and Ms. Long for service on our Board.

When considering director candidates, the Board seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness. When considering whether the nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each board member’s biographical information set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. This process resulted in the Board’s nomination of the incumbent directors named in this Proxy Statement and proposed for election by you at the upcoming Annual Meeting.

The Board will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Any recommendation submitted to the Secretary of the Company should be in writing and should include any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written undertaking of the candidate certifying (a) that such candidate is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the Company, (b) that such candidate will serve as a director of the Company if elected and (c) whether such candidate, if elected, would be an Independent Director.independent director. Stockholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of the Secretary, OaktreeBrookfield Real Estate Income Trust Inc., at 333 South Grand Avenue, 28thBrookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street,

Specifically, the Adviser will receive a performance fee in an amount equal to:
First, if the Total Return for the applicable period exceeds the sum of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such annual Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Adviser equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (y) any amount allocated to the Adviser pursuant to this clause (this is commonly referred to as a “Catch-Up”); and
Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits.
“Total Return” for any period since the end of the prior calendar year shall equal the sum of:
(i)
all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on the shares outstanding at the end of such period since the beginning of the then-current calendar year; plus
(ii)
the change in aggregate NAV of such shares since the beginning of the year, before giving effect to (x) changes resulting solely from the proceeds of issuances of shares, (y) any allocation/accrual to the performance fee, and (z) applicable stockholder servicing fee expenses (including any payments made to us for payment of such expenses).

and all shares issued since the beginning of the then-current calendar year, taking into account the timing and amount of all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on all such shares and all issuances of shares over the period and calculated in accordance with recognized industry practices. The ending NAV of the shares used in calculating the internal rate of return will be calculated before giving effect to any allocation/accrual to the performance fee and any applicable stockholder servicing fee expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Hurdle Amount for any period will exclude any shares repurchased during such period, which shares will be subject to the performance fee upon repurchase as described below. Except as described in Loss Carryforward below, any amount by which Total Return falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be carried forward to subsequent periods.
“Loss Carryforward Amount” shall initially equal zero and shall cumulatively increase by the absolute value of any negative annual Total Return and decrease by any positive annual Total Return, provided that the Loss Carryforward Amount shall at no time be less than zero and provided further that the calculation of the Loss Carryforward Amount will exclude the Total Return related to any shares repurchased during such year, which shares will be subject to the performance fee upon repurchase as described below. The effect of the Loss Carryforward Amount is that the recoupment of past annual Total Return losses will offset the positive annual Total Return for purposes of the calculation of the Adviser’s performance fee. This is referred to as a “High Water Mark.”
The Adviser will also receive a performance fee with respect to all shares that are repurchased at the end of any month (in connection with our share repurchase plan) in an amount calculated as described above with the relevant period being the portion of the year for which such shares were outstanding, and proceeds for any such share repurchase will be reduced by the amount of any such performance fee.

The board of directors approved the repurchase arrangement in recognition of the Oaktree Investor’s intent to subscribe for shares of the Company’sand Class I common stock in an amount such that, together with all other subscriptions for the Company’s common stock, the escrow minimum offering amount was satisfied.
As of December 6, 2019, the Company satisfied the minimum offering requirement and the Company’s board of directors had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the escrow agent released gross proceeds of approximately $150.0 million (including approximately $86.9 million that was funded by Oaktree) to the CompanyE Operating Partnership units (“Class E OP Units”) in connection with its contribution of certain properties on November 2, 2021 (the “Brookfield Portfolio”). We and the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock.
Under theOperating Partnership have entered into a repurchase arrangement subjectwith the Brookfield Investor (the “Brookfield Repurchase Arrangement”) pursuant to certain limitations, onwhich the last calendar day of each month the CompanyOperating Partnership will offer to repurchase Class E OP Units from the Brookfield Investor at a price per unit equal to the most recently determined NAV per Class E OP Unit immediately prior to each repurchase. The Brookfield Investor has agreed to not seek repurchase of the Class E OP Units that it owns if doing so would bring the value of its equity holdings in us and the Operating Partnership below $50 million. In addition, the Brookfield Investor has agreed to hold all of the shares of its common stock fromand Operating Partnership units that it received in consideration for the OaktreeBrookfield Portfolio until the earlier of (i) the first date that our NAV reaches $1.5 billion and (ii) the date that is the third anniversary of November 2, 2021. Following such date, the Brookfield Investor may cause us to repurchase our shares and Class E OP Units (above the $50 million minimum), in an aggregate dollar amount (the “Monthly Repurchase Amount”) equal to (i) the sum of (a) the amount available under our share repurchase plan’s 2% monthly and 5% quarterly caps (after accounting for third-party investor repurchases) and (b) 25% of the amount by which net proceeds from new subscriptions thatour public offering of common stock and our private offerings of common stock for a given month less (ii)exceed the aggregate repurchase price (excluding any amount of the aggregate repurchase price paid using cash flow from operations not used to pay distributions) of shares repurchased by the Company thatrepurchases for such month from investors pursuant to the Company’s existingour share repurchase plan.

The price per share for each repurchase from the Oaktree Investor will be the lesser of (a) the $10.00 per share initial cost of the shares and (b) the transaction price in effect for the Class I shares at the time of repurchase. The repurchase arrangement is not subject to any time limit and will continue until the Company has repurchased all of the Oaktree Investor’s shares.
Other than the Monthly Repurchase Amount limitation, the share repurchase arrangement for the Oaktree Investor is not subject to any volume limitations, including those in the Company’s existing share repurchase plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no repurchase offer will be made to the Oaktree Investor forduring any month in which (1) the 2% monthly or 5% quarterly repurchase limitations in the Company’s existing share repurchase plan have been decreased or (2) the full amount of all shares requested to be repurchased by third-party investors under the Company’s existing share repurchase plan is not repurchased.

The Class E OP Units purchased by the Brookfield Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement are not subject to the Brookfield Repurchase Amount, if,Arrangement. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, OP GP has agreed to waive the twelve-month hold period with respect to Class E OP Units purchased by the Brookfield Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Brookfield Investor has the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Class E OP Units it purchases pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for, at the sole discretion of the OP GP, shares of common stock, cash or a combination of both.

During the Offering, however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to borrow underfiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Credit Agreement. Because this line of credit is withfollowing affiliate arrangements were in place:

Real Estate Services

We have engaged Brookfield Properties, an affiliate of Oaktree, the termsBrookfield, to provide certain real estate operational services (including, without limitation, property management, leasing, and construction management) and corporate support services (including, without limitation, accounting and administrative services) to us. We have also engaged Maymont Homes (formerly Conrex), an affiliate of Brookfield, to provide operational services (including, without limitation, property management, renovation, leasing, and turnover and maintenance oversight) for our rental housing properties.

We also reimburse Brookfield Properties, Maymont Homes and other Brookfield operating affiliates for operating personnel expenses, including, but not limited to, employees who provide on-site maintenance, leasing, administrative and operational support services. Such employees may be fully dedicated or a shared resource amongst other investments. Employees’ compensation and expenses continue to be an expense of the agreement were not negotiated at arm’s-length. Oaktreeaffiliate, and if they are a shared resource, the affiliate allocates such expense to us according to their policies and procedures. Personnel expenses may face conflictsinclude information technology costs, human resources support (i.e. payroll and benefits), rent and office services, basic financial services (i.e. account receivables, bank account administration), professional development, travel, professional fees and similar expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $10.7 million of interestfees and expenses in connection with any borrowingsthe services provided by Brookfield Properties and Maymont Homes.

Affiliate Services to Non-U.S. Investment

A Brookfield affiliate in Luxembourg provides company secretarial, accounting and administrative services to our unconsolidated non-U.S. investment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amount incurred by us for these services was insignificant. A Brookfield affiliate provides asset and property management services to our unconsolidated non-U.S. investment. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amount we incurred for these services was $0.2 million.

Captive Insurance Companies

BPG Bermuda Insurance Limited (“BAM Insurance Captive”), a Brookfield affiliate, provides property and liability insurance for certain of our properties. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we paid the BAM Insurance Captive $0.2 million for insurance premiums. On March 31, 2023, Obsidian Mutual, a Brookfield affiliate, replaced BAM Insurance Captive in providing property insurance for certain of our properties. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $0.1 million for insurance premiums provided by Obsidian Mutual.

our properties. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the insurance premiums we incurred were an insignificant amount.

Submetering Services

Certain of our properties sold submetering infrastructure and associated equipment to Metergy, an affiliate of Brookfield. Sale proceeds earned by us for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $0.5 million. Metergy provides submetering services to certain of our properties. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the fee incurred by us was an insignificant amount.

Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Officers

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers.directors. We refer to such indemnification agreements as “Indemnification Agreements” and our directors and officers party thereto as “Indemnitees.” The Indemnification Agreements provide that we will, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law, and advance expenses to, each Indemnitee, in connection with (among other things) the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director officer, employee or agent of the Company.our company. This obligation includes, subject to certain terms and conditions, indemnification for any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and

26


settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding. In certain instances, we may be required to advance such expenses, in which case the Indemnitee will be obligated to reimburse us for the amounts advanced if it is later determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

Conflicts of Interest with the Adviser and its Affiliates
Oaktree and its affiliates currently manage and may in the future manage other funds and accounts (collectively, the “Other Oaktree Accounts”) that invest in, and in some cases, have priority ahead of us, with respect

Related Party Transaction Policies

In order to properties, securitiesreduce or obligations eligible for purchase by us. This situation presents the potential for conflicts of interest. While Oaktree will seek to manage sucheliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, in good faith, there may be situations in which our interests with respectCharter and the Advisory Agreement contain restrictions and conflict resolution procedures relating to a particular investment or other matter conflicttransactions we enter into with the interests of onesponsor, the Adviser, our directors or more Other Oaktree Accounts, Oaktree or one or more of their respective affiliates. For example, such conflicts may arise in situations where we have invested inUnder the securitiesrestrictions, these transactions, if permitted, must be approved by a majority of an issuer, but due to changed circumstances, the investment opportunities with respect to such issuer subsequently fall within the investment focus of an Other Oaktree Account (or vice versa) or where we make an investment in the same portfolio issuer in which an Other Oaktree Account has an investment at a different level of such portfolio issuer’s capital structure. Such changed circumstances might include, among others: a fall in the prices of the securities of the issuer to distressed levels; a decline in the issuer’s business or financial condition; workouts or other restructurings relating to an issuer’s capital structure; or consideration by the issuer of strategic alternatives or other fundamental changes. Subject to the provisions of our Charter, on any matter involving a conflict of interest, Oaktree will be guided by its fiduciary duties to us as well as to the Other Oaktree Accounts and will manage such conflict in good faith and seek to ensure that our interests and the interests of all affected Other Oaktree Accounts are represented. However, if necessary to resolve such conflict, Oaktree reserves the right to cause us to take such steps as may be necessary to minimize or eliminate the conflict, even if (subject to applicable law) that would require us to (a) forego an investment opportunity or divest investments that, in the absence of such conflict, we would have made or continued to hold or (b) otherwise take action that may have the effect of benefitting an Other Oaktree Account (or the Adviser, Oaktree or any of their respective affiliates) and therefore may not have been in the best interests of us or our stockholders.

The Real Estate Opportunities Funds have priority over us with respect to opportunistic equity investments in real estate. While this could potentially result in fewer investment opportunities being made available to us, we do not expect this priority to meaningfully impact the investment opportunities available to us as our investment strategy focuses on Real Estate Income (including core-plus and value-add assets) and not opportunistic real estate. No Other Oaktree Accounts other than the current vintage of the Real Estate Opportunities Funds currently have priority over us with respect to investment opportunities; however, future Other Oaktree Accounts may be granted allocation priorities over us (including with respect to specific sectors or geographies).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our investment strategy will overlap with certain Other Oaktree Accounts that have investment strategies similar to ours, including Other Oaktree Accounts with Real Estate Income (including core-plus and value-add assets) investment strategies and performing real estate debt strategies. Currently, there are two Other Oaktree Accounts with Real Estate Income investment strategies that will overlap with our investment strategy, both of which are actively investing. As of December 31, 2019, these two Other Oaktree Accounts had approximately $7 million of unused capital commitments. Additionally, there are three Other Oaktree Accounts with a performing real estate debt strategy that have approximately $1.8 billion of cumulative unused capital commitments. There may also be additional Other Oaktree Accounts with investment strategies that overlap with ours in the future.
If any matter arises that we and our affiliates (including the Adviser) determine in its good faith judgment constitutes an actual conflict of interest, the Adviser, Oaktree and/or such Oaktree affiliate may take such action as it determines in good faith may be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate the conflict. Transactions between us and Oaktree or Oaktree’s affiliates will require approval by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. There can be no assurance that our board of directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction. In determining whether to approve or Oaktree will identify or resolve all conflicts of interest in a manner that is favorable to us.
Fees of the Adviser. We pay the Adviser a management fee regardless of the performance of our portfolio. The Adviser’s entitlement to a management fee, which is not based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. We will be required to pay the Adviser a management fee inauthorize a particular period despite experiencing a net loss or a decline in the value of our portfolio during that period.
We also pay the Adviser a performance fee based on our total distributions plus the change in NAV per share, which may create an incentive for the Adviser to make riskier or more speculative investments on our behalf than it would otherwise make in the absence of such performance-based compensation. In addition, the change in NAV per sharerelated party transaction, these persons will be based on the value of our investments on the applicable measurement dates and not on realized gains or losses. As a result, the Adviser may receive performance fees based on unrealized gains in certain assets at the applicable measurement date and such gains may not be realized when those assets are eventually disposed of.
Allocations of Investment Opportunities. We may share in investment opportunities presented to one or more of the Other Oaktree Accounts to the extent that Oaktree in good faith deems such allocation to be prudent or equitable based on the Investment Allocation Considerations (as defined below). Likewise, one or more Other Oaktree Accounts whose governing documents so permit (including other Oaktree funds and accounts that are dedicated to, or have a portion of their investment strategy dedicated to, core-plus or value-add real estate strategy (the “Real Estate Income Accounts”)) may share in investment opportunities presented to us to the extent that Oaktree in good faith deems such allocation to be prudent or equitable based on the Investment Allocation Considerations. Additionally, certain investment opportunities that may be appropriate for us may be subject to priority rights granted to another existing or future Other Oaktree Account (including the Real Estate Opportunities Funds). While Oaktree will seek to manage potential conflicts arising out of the potentially overlapping investment objectives of us and certain Other Oaktree Accounts, there can be no assurance in the case of overlapping investment opportunities that the return on our investment will be equivalent to or better than the returns obtained by the Other Oaktree Accounts participating in such investments. The decision by Oaktree to allocate an opportunity to an Other Oaktree Account could cause us to forego an investment opportunity we otherwise would have made.
As a general matter and except as otherwise set forth below, if two or more closed-end or open-end Real Estate Income Accounts are still in their respective investment periods, an available real estate investment opportunity will be allocated pursuant to a rotational system consistent with the Oaktree Real Estate Income Strategy Rotational Allocation Policy described below, as amended by Oaktree from time to time. We will be considered an open-end Real Estate Income Account subject to the Oaktree Real Estate Income Strategy Rotational Allocation Policy with respect to core-plus and value-add investment opportunities.
Pursuant to the Oaktree Real Estate Income Strategy Rotational Allocation Policy, each Real Estate Income Account is assigned a place in the rotational system based on its initial closing date, and each investment opportunity is allocated to the first Real Estate Income Account in the rotational system queue. If such Account declines the opportunity offered, it maintains its place at the beginning of the rotational queue until it accepts an
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investment opportunity, subject to limited exceptions, and the declined opportunity is offered to the next Account in the queue. The Real Estate Income Account that accepts the investment opportunity will move to the back of the rotational queue; provided that, if the investment opportunity accepted by such Account is not consummated, such Account will move to the front of the rotational queue. If no Real Estate Income Account accepts the offered opportunity, it may be allocated by Oaktree to one or more Other Oaktree Accounts focusing on other strategies, if appropriate, pursuant to the Investment Allocation Considerations (as defined below). Oaktree may also, in its sole discretion, establish additional rotational queues comprised of a smaller group of Real Estate Income Accounts from time to time, to allocate particular categories or sub-categories of core-plus or value-add real estate investments to such Accounts. These special queues, which may or may not include us, may be established to ensure a fairer distribution of such opportunities among eligible Real Estate Income Accounts or to ensure diversification and limit the risk of excess concentration of particular types of investments in one or more Accounts. For example, Oaktree may establish special queues for investments located within or outside of particular geographic areas, for particular types of properties (e.g. multi-family residential properties), for opportunities requiring equity investments above or below a particular threshold or for investments with particular tax characteristics. The rotational system for these special queues operates in the same manner as the main rotational queue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an investment opportunity is reasonably regarded as a follow-on to an investment previously made by one or more Real Estate Income Accounts, as determined by Oaktree in its discretion, such investment will be allocated to the Accounts that made the original investment. If any such Account declines or is unable to make the follow-on investment and Oaktree determines that another Real Estate Income Account could reasonably pursue the opportunity, this opportunity may be allocated based on the rotational system described above and Oaktree will determine, in its sole discretion,consider whether the Account to which such opportunity is reallocated will move to the back of the rotation.
In the event that Oaktree determines that an investment opportunity allocated to us pursuant to the rotational system exceeds what should prudently be invested by us, Oaktree will, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Oaktree Real Estate Income Strategy Rotational Allocation Policy and consistent with the Investment Allocation Considerations, determine, in its discretion and in good faith, which Other Oaktree Accounts (which may include other Real Estate Accounts) may participate in such investment along with, or instead of, us and the portion of such investment to be allocated thereto, to the extent applicable.
With respect to investment opportunities in real estate-related securities, except as otherwise set forth below (i) if two or more closed-end funds or accounts with the same investment focus are still in their respective investment periods, an available real estate-related securities investment opportunity will be allocated pro rata among them on the basis of available capital, except that the opportunity first will be allocated entirely to the oldest of the funds or accounts until that fund or account is 80% invested, committed for investment or reasonably reserved for follow-on investments, unless the terms of that fund or account provide that such fund or account will not have priority, and (ii) if two or more open-end funds or accounts (or a mix of open-end and closed-end funds and accounts), including us, with the same investment focus are still in their respective investment periods, an available real estate-related securities investment opportunity will be allocated pro rata to eligible accounts based on available capital and subject to limitations arising from concentration issues, along with other portfolio construction concerns as identified by Oaktree.
Similar to investment opportunities, sales, payoffs or other dispositions of an investment held by two or more closed-end funds or accounts generally will be allocated pro rata among them on the basis of their respective investments held, except that if Oaktree determines that opportunities to sell are limited, first priority may go to any funds or accounts in their liquidation periods (and, among funds in their liquidation periods, to the oldest of such funds). As between a closed-end fund or account that is in its investment period and an open-end fund or account (which typically does not have a limit on total size) with the same investment focus, investment opportunities will generally be allocatedtransaction between us and the Other Oaktree Accounts based on Oaktree’srelated party is fair and reasonable assessment of the amounts available for investment by each fund,to us and sales of an investment will generally be allocated pro rata between them on the basis of their respective investments held (disregarding for this purpose the age of the funds or accounts or which of them is in a liquidation period).
The foregoing allocations for both investments and sales may be overridden if Oaktree in good faith deems a different allocation to be prudent or equitable in light of (a) the size, nature and type of investment or sale opportunity, (b) principles of diversification of assets, (c) the investment guidelines and limitations governing any of such funds or accounts, including client instructions with respect to a specific investment and compressed

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ramp-up periods that are characteristic of certain investment vehicles, (d) cash availability, including cash that becomes available through leverage, (e) the magnitude of the investment, (f) redemption and withdrawal requests received by such funds or accounts, (g) a determination by Oaktree that the investment or sale opportunity is inappropriate, in whole or in part, for one or more funds or accounts, (h) applicable transfer or assignment provisions, (i) proximity of a fund or account to the end of its specified term, (j) the focus of the funds’ or accounts’ respective investment strategies, (k) applicable contractual obligations, (l) tax considerations and/or (m) such other factors as Oaktree may reasonably deem relevant, including the amount of leverage, if any, appropriate for such investment (all of the foregoing factors being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Investment Allocation Considerations”). In some cases, Oaktree’s observation and application of the Investment Allocation Considerations may affect adversely the price paid or received by us, or the size of the position purchased or sold by us.
The classification of an investment opportunity as appropriate or inappropriate for us or any of the Other Oaktree Accounts will be made by Oaktree, in good faith, at the time of purchase and will govern in this regard. This determination frequently will be subjective in nature. Consequently, an investment that Oaktree determined was appropriate (or more appropriate) for us (or that Oaktree determined was appropriate (or more appropriate) for any of the Other Oaktree Accounts) may ultimately prove to have been more appropriate for one of the Other Oaktree Accounts (or for us). Furthermore, the decision as to whether we or any of the Other Oaktree Accounts should make a particular follow-on investment, or whether the follow-on investment will be shared in the same proportion as the original investment, may differ from the decision regarding the initial purchase due to a changed determination on this issue by Oaktree, and investments made by us towards the end of the Investment Period may be structured so that one or more Other Oaktree Accounts can make an anticipated follow-on investment on certain prearrangedhas terms and conditions including price (which may be based on cost of the original investment). Where potential overlaps with any of the Other Oaktree Accounts do exist, such opportunities will be allocated by Oaktree, in good faith, after taking into consideration the investment focus of each affected fund or account and the Investment Allocation Considerations. Without approval by a majority of our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, we will not purchase any investments from, or sell any investmentsno less favorable to any of the Other Oaktree Accounts.
Investments Where Other Oaktree Accounts Hold Related Investments. Other Oaktree Accounts, including Oaktree Real Estate Income Fund, L.P. (“REIF”), Oaktree Real Estate Debt Fund, L.P. (together with its parallel fund, “REDF I”), Oaktree Real Estate Debt Fund II, L.P. (together with any parallel funds, “REDF II”), the Real Estate Opportunities Funds and any associated separate accounts hold a number of real estate-related investments and/or may in the future make further investments in real estate-related assets or securities. We may make investments either in those same assets or in related assets.
In addition, we may make investments in entities or assets in which an Other Oaktree Account holds an investment in a different class of the debt or equity securities of such entities or such assets. For example, we may make investments in the equity of entities or assets in which Other Oaktree Accounts have made or will make investments in various tranches of CMBS securitizations or other debt instruments. We may also make investments in debt securities, loans or other obligations that relate to (or are secured by) the underlying real estate assets or portfolio issuers in which such Other Oaktree Accounts have an existing investment. For example, we may make investments in entities or assets in which one or more Other Oaktree Accounts hold an investment in a different class of the debt or equity securities of such entities or such assets (such as a mezzanine or junior CMBS position relating to an issuer in which an Other Oaktree Account holds senior debt or a senior tranche of a CMBS securitization). We may also invest in different tranches of a CMBS securitization in which an Other Oaktree Account holds an investment, purchase loans that are part of the pool of loans relating to a CMBS securitization in which an Other Oaktree Account holds an investment or engage in transactions relating to the real estate assets that secure the pooled loans or with the entities that are the borrowers under those loans in such a CMBS securitization.
In the foregoing circumstances, to the extent we hold securities that are different (including with respect to relative seniority)us than those held by such Other Oaktree Accounts, Oaktree could have conflicting loyalties between its duties to us and such Other Oaktree Accounts. For example, Oaktree could have an incentive to cause us to pay a higher purchase price (whether in an auction, the exercise of a fair value purchase option or otherwise) for a property that is collateral for a CMBS security held by an Other Oaktree Account. If we make
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

an investment in or, through the purchase of debt obligations becomes a lender to, an issuer in which an Other Oaktree Account has an investment at a different level of such issuer’s capital structure or if an Other Oaktree Account participates in a separate tranche of a fundraising with respect to such issuer, Oaktree may have conflicting loyalties between its duties to us and such Other Oaktree Accounts. In addition, if we control or act as the operating advisor to a special servicer with respect to a loan in a CMBS securitization in which an Other Oaktree Account holds CMBS in a different tranche of the securitization, Oaktree similarly could have conflicting loyalties in directing the actions of the special servicer with respect to the loan if our interests and the interests of the Other Oaktree Account diverge. Likewise, if an Other Oaktree Account controls or acts as the operating advisor to a special servicer with respect to an issuer in which we hold an investment, the Other Oaktree Account may direct the special servicer to take certain actions with respect to the investment that may not be in our best interests. In addition, it is possible that in a bankruptcy proceeding, foreclosure proceeding or other similar restructuring or workout that our interest may be adversely affected by virtue of such Other Oaktree Accounts’ involvement and actions relating to its investment (or vice versa).
Generally speaking, Oaktree expects that we will make investments that potentially conflict with the interests of an Other Oaktree Account only when, at the time of investment by us, Oaktree believes that (a) such investment is in our best interests and (b)(i) the possibility of actual adversity between us and the Other Oaktree Account is remote, (ii) either the potential investment by us or the investment of such Other Oaktree Account is not large enough to control any actions taken by the collective holders of securities of such company or asset, or (iii) in light of the particular circumstances, Oaktree believes that such investment is appropriate for us, notwithstanding the potential for conflict. In those circumstances where we and an Other Oaktree Account hold investments in different classes of a company’s debt or equity, Oaktree may also, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, take steps to reduce the potential for adversity between us and the Other Oaktree Account, including causing us to take certain actions that, in the absence of such conflict, we would not take, such as (A) remaining passive in a restructuring or similar situations (including electing not to vote or voting pro rata with other security holders), (B) investing in the same or similar classes of securities as the Other Oaktree Account in order to align their interests, (C) divesting investments or (D) otherwise taking an action designed to reduce adversity. Any such step could have the effect of benefiting an Other Oaktree Account (or Oaktree) and therefore may not have been in the best interests of, and may have been adverse to, us. A similar standard generally will apply if any Other Oaktree Account makes an investment in a company or asset in which we hold an investment in a different class of such company’s debt or equity asset or securities.
In addition to the foregoing, we may provide financing toavailable from unaffiliated third parties that are purchasing real estate or real estate-related assets from one or more Other Oaktree Accounts. The consent of our independent directors will not be required for us to provide such financing.
Participation in Follow-On Investments of Other Oaktree Accounts. To the extent any Other Oaktree Accounts have existing real estate or real estate-related debt investments and are afforded follow-on investment opportunities relating to such existing investments which would also be appropriate for us, subject to the terms of the governing documents of such Other Oaktree Accounts and the general requirement that such follow-on investments be allocated to such Other Oaktree Accounts as described more fully under “—Allocations of Investment Opportunities,” in the event such Other Oaktree Accounts do not have sufficient available capital to make any such follow-on investments, we may be afforded an allocation of such follow-on investment in an amount equal to such shortfall, subject to the Investment Allocation Considerations.
Separate Accounts. To accommodate the needs of one or more particular investors (or related group of investors), Oaktree or its affiliates have established, and may in the future establish, one or more Separate Accounts. Such Separate Accounts may invest in certain securities or other investments eligible for purchase by us. For investments in real estate, such Separate Accounts may (a) participate in investments alongside us on a pro rata basis (subject to the Investment Allocation Considerations) or (b) be allocated available investment opportunities pursuant to a rotational system consistent with Oaktree’s Real Estate Income Strategy Rotation Policy, as amended by Oaktree from time to time. In the event that Oaktree determines that an investment opportunity allocated to us pursuant to the rotational system exceeds what should prudently be invested by us, Oaktree will determine, in its discretion and in good faith, which Other Oaktree Accounts, including any Separate Accounts, may participate in such investment along with, or instead of, us and the portion of such investment to be allocated thereto, to the extent applicable.

parties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For investments in real estate-related securities, to the extent that investment opportunities fall within the common objectives and guidelines of us and any Separate Account, the allocation of such investments between us and any such Separate Account may be pro rata based on available capital; however, the Adviser may alternatively allocate such investments on another basis that the Adviser determines to be consistent with the Investment Allocation Considerations in its discretion and in good faith. See “—Allocations of Investment Opportunities.”
Predecessor Real Estate Funds and Accounts. Similar to us, REIF was formed to make investments in commercial real estate, primarily office, multifamily and industrial assets. Similar to us, we also launched a fund-of-one in May 2016 that will primarily invest in core-plus real estate and value-add real estate assets within the U.S. with an emphasis on income and long-term growth. Oaktree also has six opportunistic real estate funds and accounts, which were also organized with objectives that overlap with ours. Oaktree may in the future organize subsequent opportunistic funds and may manage accounts with objectives substantially similar to those of the Real Estate Opportunities Funds. The allocation of investments between us and the Real Estate Opportunities Funds and such other funds and accounts will generally be based on Oaktree’s reasonable assessment of the Investment Allocation Considerations.
In addition, REDF I and REDF II were organized with objectives substantially similar to ours. Oaktree or its affiliates also currently manage any associated separate accounts, four accounts focused on real estate debt that follow an investment strategy and approach that is similar to or overlaps with our investment strategy and approach. The separate accounts are structured as evergreen vehicles without fixed investment periods and accordingly may reinvest the proceeds of existing investments or accept additional capital for investment at any time.
Subsequent Real Estate Funds. In addition to creating a number of Separate Accounts, Oaktree or its affiliates may organize subsequent funds with objectives substantially similar to ours. If a subsequent fund is created, the allocation of investments between it and us will be pursuant to the process described above, subject to any priority rights any such subsequent fund may be granted. See “—Allocations of Investment Opportunities.”
Other Oaktree Accounts and Other Oaktree-Managed Investment Strategies. Oaktree or its affiliates currently manage or may in the future manage a large number of Other Oaktree Accounts and other investment strategies. The Other Oaktree Accounts currently include the Real Estate Opportunities Funds, the Legacy CMBS Fund and (a) the “Distressed Debt Funds” and “Strategic Credit Funds,” which are organized to invest in debt or other obligations of distressed companies and other “stressed” companies, but which have the ability to make real estate-related investments; (b) the “Emerging Markets Opportunities Funds,” which are organized to invest opportunistically in stressed, distressed and other value-oriented investments in the emerging markets, which may include real estate-related investments; (c) the “Special Situations Funds,” which are organized primarily to obtain control or significant influence over companies that are believed to be undervalued, with a bias for investments which are distressed in nature, but which have the ability to make real estate-related investments; (d) the “European Principal Funds,” which are organized primarily to make control and significant influence investments outside the United States, primarily in the European region, but which have the ability to make real estate-related investments; (e) the “Asia Principal Fund,” which is organized primarily to make control and significant influence investments outside the United States, primarily in Asia and the Pacific region, but which has the ability to make real estate-related investments; (f) the “Power Opportunities Funds,” which are organized to make control and significant influence investments primarily in companies in the power industry and related areas that focus largely on providing equipment, software and services used in the marketing, distribution, transmission, trading or consumption of power and similar services; (g) the “Infrastructure Funds,” which are organized to make investments in infrastructure opportunities, focused primarily on the energy, transportation and environmental services sectors in North America, but which have the ability to make real estate-related investments; (h) the “Emerging Markets Equity Accounts,” which are organized to focus primarily on publicly traded securities in emerging markets worldwide and in developed markets in Asia and the Pacific region; (i) the “Mezzanine Funds,” which are organized to invest primarily in mezzanine debt and equity investments, as well as in second lien and senior secured bank loans; (j) the “Value Opportunities Fund,” which is organized primarily to invest in readily tradable distressed debt securities, distressed debt and other value-oriented investments, but which has the ability to make real estate-related investments; (k) the “Senior Loan Funds and Accounts,” which are organized to invest primarily in bank loans and other senior debt obligations of companies;
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(l) the “Enhanced Income Funds,” which are organized primarily to make investments in bank loans and other senior debt obligations of companies on a leveraged basis; (m) the “Middle Market Senior Loan Fund” which is organized to invest primarily in middle market senior loans on a leveraged basis; (n) the “European Private Debt Funds,” which are organized primarily to invest in current cash yield instruments in the European lending market; (o) the “Value Equity Fund,” which is organized to invest with a long bias on an unleveraged basis in a concentrated portfolio of stressed, post-reorganization and value equities in developed markets; (p) the “Global Credit Fund and Accounts,” which is organized to invest in a diversified portfolio of global investments across Oaktree’s liquid credit platform, including high yield bonds, senior loans, convertibles, real estate debt securities, structured credit and emerging markets debt; and (q) the “Special Lending BDCs,” which are business development companies organized primarily to invest in first and second lien loans, unsecured and mezzanine loans and preferred equity. Other investment strategies managed by Oaktree include high yield fixed income securities, convertible securities and high income convertible securities.
Because the investment focus of certain of the Other Oaktree Accounts and Oaktree’s other investment strategies may overlap with our investment focus, not all investment opportunities suitable for us will be allocated to us. In addition, there is no assurance that future developments will not create additional potential conflicts of interest. In the event that a situation arises in the future where our interests with respect to a particular investment conflict with the interests of one or more Other Oaktree Accounts or Oaktree-managed investment strategies, Oaktree will in good faith seek to manage such conflicts of interest in a manner consistent with the procedures described herein, subject to the terms of our Charter.
Allocation of Personnel. The Adviser and its affiliates will devote such time as they deem necessary to conduct our business affairs in an appropriate manner. However, Oaktree personnel will work on matters related to Other Oaktree Accounts and other Oaktree managed strategies. Conflicts may arise in the allocation of personnel among us and such other funds and strategies.
Conflicts with Portfolio Companies of Oaktree and Other Oaktree Accounts.
Timbers Holdings, LLC. Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VI, L.P. (“ROF VI”), owns a 75% equity interest in Timbers Holdings, LLC (“Timbers”), a developer, operator and manager of luxury private resorts and residence clubs. Timbers acts as sales and marketing agent for a private residence club owned by Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund V, L.P. (“ROF V”), an arrangement that existed prior to ROF VI’s investment in Timbers) and has been engaged to act as development manager for a property owned by ROF VI. Oaktree expects that Timbers may be engaged to provide services to one or more of our portfolio investments. While the payment of fees to a portfolio company of an Other Oaktree Account may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, Oaktree intends to address any such conflicts by requiring that only Timbers’ management be involved in negotiating fees with Oaktree-managed funds. Any fee arrangements with Timbers are expected to be comparable to fees that could be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with a third party. Oaktree anticipates that third-party clients will constitute a substantial majority of Timbers’ business.
Sabal Financial Group, L.P. and Sabal Financial Europe, LLC. The Real Estate group uses the services of Sabal Financial Group, L.P. (“Sabal U.S.”) and Sabal Financial Europe, LLC (“Sabal Europe” and, together with Sabal U.S., “Sabal”), both affiliates of Oaktree, in connection with the underwriting, servicing and asset management of small-balance commercial loan portfolios and foreclosed real estate assets. Sabal is an international diversified financial services firm specializing in the valuation, management and servicing of commercial real estate and commercial and residential acquisition, development and construction loans and mortgages, as well as in providing assistance with bid submissions and other aspects of the acquisition process for such loans and mortgages. Sabal provides credit advisory services and loan portfolio management and performance assessments for investment and commercial banks, including capital assessment based upon portfolio and ALLL (Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss) analysis. Sabal and a related entity in which Sabal U.S. holds a minority investment, and with which it shares certain management and other personnel, also have lending operations for small- to mid-size real estate loans that are generally commercial in nature, including residential developer loans. Oaktree Investment Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Oaktree, owns a 50% interest in Sabal U.S. and a majority interest in Sabal Europe.
Sabal provides services to portfolios of commercial non-performing loans and real estate owned properties owned by certain Other Oaktree Accounts, including ROF V, ROF VI, Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VII, L.P. and Oaktree Remington Investment Fund, L.P. (the “Remington Account”), and oversees loan

TABLE OF CONTENTS

origination platforms for one or more of such Other Oaktree Accounts. Sabal also provides loan servicing for certain investments made by REDF I, REDF II and any associated separate accounts and may provide similar services to us. We may also engage Sabal as a special servicer in connection with non-performing loans or foreclosures. Oaktree believes that its investment in Sabal puts us and the Other Oaktree Accounts in an attractive position with respect to these portfolios and platforms by allowing them to offer an integrated team of capital and asset managers who can underwrite, fund and service the portfolios, as well as source attractive lending opportunities, often with significant flexibility to tailor the transaction to the needs of the seller or the borrower. Nevertheless, Oaktree’s ownership of Sabal presents certain potential conflicts of interest.
First, since we and the Other Oaktree Accounts will be paying Sabal for its services, Oaktree, as an owner of Sabal, will share in any profit. This potential profit has been minimized by having only fees run through Sabal, with any performance fee paid directly to Sabal employees through entities in which Oaktree does not have an economic interest. Oaktree has ensured it does not benefit at the expense of us and the Other Oaktree Accounts that use Sabal’s services by agreeing to rebate (through an offset to its management fee or, if necessary, the carried interest distributions) Oaktree’s share of any net income of Sabal attributable to any fees paid by us and the Other Oaktree Accounts to the extent that such net income is received by Oaktree (as determined by the relevant advisor or general partner in good faith). Second, Sabal provides services to third parties and may engage in its own real estate investment activities, including origination of real estate loans through certain Sabal affiliates. Such investments are generally expected not to be appropriate for us, but in certain cases could be appropriate for us. Any investment activity by Sabal or its affiliates in debt opportunities that could be appropriate for us would be conducted independently of Oaktree, and Oaktree’s Real Estate group will not refer lending opportunities to Sabal that are appropriate for us. However, Oaktree will benefit from the profits generated by any third-party business and may also provide the capital used by Sabal to make investments (thereby realizing any returns on any such investment). Finally, Oaktree may benefit from a sale of its equity interests in Sabal, if and when that were to occur.
Ownership Interest in Mars Acquisition Limited (including its subsidiaries and Magellan Homeloans, its separate origination platform, “Mars”). Mars operates a regulated residential mortgage underwriting, servicing and loan origination platform in the United Kingdom. It was established in 2008 by certain Other Oaktree Accounts (in particular, OCM Opportunities Fund VII, L.P. and OCM Opportunities Fund VIIb, L.P. (including its parallel fund), “Opps VII/VIIb”), Varde Partners (“Varde”) and certain management shareholders. Varde decided to fully exit its investments in U.K. mortgages in 2013 and sold its interest in Mars to Opps VII/VIIb, resulting in Opps VII/VIIb owning 54.6% of Mars. While Mars was initially established to provide services to Opps VII/VIIb, it has expanded to providing services to Other Oaktree Accounts since Opps VII/VIIb are out of their investment periods and successor funds now provide the capital to purchase or originate residential mortgages. These services are provided at market rates. REDF I, REDF II and any associated separate accounts have used Mars’ services and we may retain Mars to provide underwriting, servicing or loan origination services.
Conflicts Relating to Expenses.
Senior Advisors. Oaktree may from time to time retain consultants or transition former Oaktree employees to consultant status to provide assistance with deal sourcing, industry insight or due diligence, offer financial and structuring advice and perform other services for us, Other Oaktree Accounts or their respective portfolio companies (“Senior Advisors”). Such services may be provided on an exclusive basis. Our share of any retainers, success fees or other fees charged by Senior Advisors (“Senior Advisor Fees”) will be treated as a company expense borne by us (whether paid by us directly, by an issuer or by Oaktree and subsequently reimbursed by us). While such Senior Advisor Fees are believed by Oaktree to be reasonable and generally at market rates for the relevant services provided, because of the exclusive arrangements Senior Advisor Fees may not always be comparable to costs, fees and expenses charged for such services by other third parties. In addition to such fees, we will also generally bear our share of any travel costs or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Senior Advisors in connection with the provision of their services. Office, accounting, network, administration and other support benefits may be provided by Oaktree to Senior Advisors without charge. Amounts received by Senior Advisors in connection with their services, including any amounts paid in connection with particular transactions or investments, will not be considered Deal Fees (as defined below) and consequently will not reduce the management fee paid by us.
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Senior Advisors may be granted the right to participate alongside us in transactions that they source or for which they provide advice. Such co-investment rights may result in us investing less capital than we otherwise would have in such transactions. In addition, such Senior Advisors may invest directly in us as stockholders.
Senior Advisors may also serve on the boards of portfolio companies or as employees or consultants in an operations capacity. Any directors’ fees, salaries, consultant fees, other cash compensation, stock options or other forms of equity or other compensation received by Senior Advisors in such capacities will be borne by the portfolio companies, will not be considered Deal Fees and consequently will not reduce the management fee paid by us.
With respect to former Oaktree employees who become Senior Advisors, the fees and expenses associated with retaining such Senior Advisors will be considered a company expense only if the former employee is permanently terminating their employment with Oaktree. Services provided by these Senior Advisors may include, without limitation, providing services directly to an individual portfolio company, whether as an employee or service provider of such portfolio company, and will otherwise conform to the description of the role of Senior Advisors above.
Bellwether Asset Management, Inc. Oaktree has retained Bellwether, a privately held real estate services provider, as a consultant to certain Other Oaktree Accounts (including REIF, the Real Estate Opportunities Funds, REDF I, REDF II and any associated separate accounts) and will retain Bellwether as an outside service provider to us and/or our investments. Services performed by Bellwether include assisting with property management (including development projects), gathering data from operating partners at the real estate properties owned by Oaktree-managed funds and accounts, analyzing and sorting data from servicers and borrowers, synthesizing data into standardized management reports and analysis tools used by Oaktree to streamline financial and operational reporting, monitoring covenant compliance by borrowers, market surveillance, underwriting investment and disposition opportunities, modeling projected cash flows and associated investment returns, providing foundational data for valuations along with other valuation services, reviewing draw requests from borrowers, performing property-level accounting services along with other support services.
Oaktree believes there is significant value in having an objective third party such as Bellwether provide these services instead of relying on operating partners or borrowers to report directly to Oaktree. Using Bellwether to manage the reporting process also helps ensure that management reports present data in an organized manner for all portfolio investments, allowing the Adviser to have better information with which to monitor our portfolio. Such reporting would be difficult (and likely more expensive) for many of operating partners or borrowers to prepare on their own.
Oaktree and Bellwether may from time to time agree to expand or reduce the scope of services that Bellwether provides to us or to Other Oaktree Accounts.
While neither Oaktree nor the Adviser are owners of or investors in Bellwether or are employers of Bellwether’s employees, Bellwether may provide asset management services to Oaktree-managed funds and accounts on an exclusive basis or nearly on an exclusive basis. While Oaktree’s arrangement with Bellwether is no longer exclusive, Oaktree-managed funds and accounts remain Bellwether’s primary source of business; if other clients were to stop doing business with Bellwether, the arrangement could revert to an exclusive one again in the future. The costs, fees and expenses relating to the services provided by Bellwether are borne by the funds and accounts to which such services are provided. Any costs, fees and expenses allocated to us will be treated as an expense borne by us (whether paid by us directly, by a portfolio company or by the Adviser or Oaktree and subsequently reimbursed by us). While such costs, fees and expenses are believed by the Adviser to be reasonable and generally at market rates for the relevant services provided, the arrangement with Bellwether may result in such costs, fees and expenses not always being comparable to those charged for such services by other third parties. Oaktree and the Adviser believe the largely exclusive arrangement with Bellwether will benefit our investors by improving the quality of reporting that Oaktree receives on our investments.
Amounts paid to Bellwether or its employees in connection with their services to Oaktree-managed funds and accounts, including any amounts paid in connection with particular transactions or investments, will not be considered Deal Fees and consequently will not reduce the management fee paid by us. Our overall share of costs, fees and expenses related to Bellwether’s engagement will vary based on the particular scope of services provided to us by Bellwether. We may also enter into similar loan sourcing arrangements with consultants who are not employees of Bellwether.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

100% Management Fee Offset of Payments Made by Portfolio Companies. Oaktree offsets 100% of any transaction fees, directors’ fees, break-up fees or other similar fees received by the Adviser, Oaktree or their affiliates (excluding us) in connection with our investments, net of any related company expenses paid by the Adviser or Oaktree (“Deal Fees”) against the management fee payable to the Adviser and, to the extent necessary to absorb any excess Deal Fees, the incentive fee otherwise payable to the Adviser. Deal Fees include fees and income paid by portfolio companies to Oaktree or its employees (other than certain ordinary course stock option grants). For example, we may establish arrangements in which portfolio companies pay transaction fees or monitoring fees to Oaktree, including monitoring arrangements that include early termination payments equal to the monitoring fees that would have been earned had the monitoring arrangement continued. In addition, Oaktree employees may be seconded temporarily to certain portfolio companies on either a full-time or a part-time basis to provide services to such portfolio companies. Those companies may pay such Oaktree employees directors’ fees, salaries, consultant fees, other cash compensation, stock options or other compensation. Oaktree may also advance compensation to seconded employees and be subsequently reimbursed by the applicable portfolio companies. Even if not so advanced, any compensation customarily paid directly by Oaktree to such employees will typically be reduced to reflect amounts paid directly by the portfolio company. As described above, any amounts paid to seconded employees by a portfolio company will be fully offset first against the management fee otherwise payable to the Adviser and, to the extent necessary to absorb any excess amounts, the incentive fee (if any) otherwise payable to the Adviser. While there may be timing differences between when Oaktree receives such fees and income and when such amounts are applied as offsets against the management fee or the incentive fee, Oaktree or its affiliates would receive the benefit of such fees or income only in the event that the total amount of such fees and income exceeded the total amount of management fees and incentive fee otherwise payable by us.
Other Conflicts. Further conflicts could arise once we and Oaktree or its affiliates have made our respective investments. For example, if we enter into a joint venture with an Other Oaktree Account, our interests and the interests of such Other Oaktree Account may conflict, for example when one joint venture partner seeks to sell the property in the joint venture but the other joint venture partner does not. In such situations, the ability of the Adviser to recommend actions in our best interests might be impaired.
Related Party Transaction Policy
Our Board of Directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons may present risks of conflicts or the appearance of conflicts of interest. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons. Under the policy, a committee of our Board of Directors composed solely of independent directors who are disinterested or the disinterested members of our Board of Directors must review and approve or ratify any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that would be required to be disclosed by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant, other than an employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation, and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any “related person” (as defined as in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. No related person transaction will be executed without the approval or ratification of a committee of our Board of Directors composed solely of independent directors who are disinterested or by the disinterested members of our Board of Directors. Our Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee fulfills the obligations under this policy.
In reviewing a related person transaction or proposed related person transaction, the Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including without limitation:
the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;
the material terms of the transaction;
the importance of the transaction both to the Company and the related person;
whether the transaction would likely impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

whether the value and the terms of the transaction are substantially similar as compared to those of similar transactions previously entered into by the Company with non-related persons, if any; and
any other matters that management or the Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee or disinterested directors, as applicable deem appropriate.
In addition, the policy provides that the Affiliate Transaction/Conflicts Committee, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, considers whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent,” “outside,” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under our Charter and our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Affiliate Transaction/

Conflicts Committeeof Interest

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with Brookfield and Oaktree, including the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates. One member of our Board of Directors (who serves as Chairman of our Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer) is affiliated with Brookfield, and our chief operating officer and portfolio manager, chief financial officer and our other executive officers are also executives of Brookfield or one or more of its affiliates. There is no guarantee that the terms of our Charter, the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisory Agreements or the policies and procedures adopted by the Adviser, Brookfield, Oaktree and their respective affiliates will enable us to identify, adequately address or mitigate these conflicts of interest. Transactions between us and the Adviser, Brookfield, Oaktree or their affiliates require approval by a majority of our independent directors.

General

Brookfield Corporation is focused on compounding capital over the long term. This capital is deployed across three businesses – asset management, insurance solutions and its operating businesses. Employing a disciplined investment approach, leveraging its global reach and the scale and flexibility of its capital, it identifies opportunities to invest on a value basis. Brookfield Corporation leverages its 100+ year history as an owner and operator of real assets, to grow cash flows and create value in each of its businesses to generate strong risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.

BAM is a leading global alternative asset manager with over $900 billion of assets under management across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate and credit. It invests client capital for the long-term with a focus on real assets and essential service businesses that form the backbone of the global economy. It offers a range of alternative investment products to investors around the world — including public and private pension plans, endowments and foundations, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, insurance companies and private wealth investors. It draws on Brookfield’s heritage as an owner and operator to invest for value and seeks to generate strong returns for its clients, across economic cycles.

Brookfield’s global alternative asset management business is owned 75% by Brookfield Corporation and 25% by BAM

A key element of our strategy is to leverage Brookfield’s experience, expertise, broad reach, relationships and position in the market for investment opportunities and deal flow, financial resources, access to capital markets and operating needs. Brookfield believes that leveraging these capabilities is in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. However, being part of Brookfield’s broader platform, as well as activities of and other considerations relating to Other Brookfield Accounts gives rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest which may not be resolved in favor of our interests. Certain Other Brookfield Accounts may invest in, and in some cases, have priority ahead of us with respect to, properties, securities or investments that are suitable for us. Transactions between us and Brookfield or any Brookfield affiliate require approval by our Board of Directors:

Directors, including a majority of our independent directors. There can be no assurance that our Board of Directors or the Adviser will identify, mitigate or resolve all conflicts of interest in a manner that is favorable to us.

Some examples of conflicts of interest that may arise by virtue of our relationship with Brookfield and Oaktree include:

Robert Cavanaugh
Howard Heitner

Allocation of Investment Opportunities. Investment opportunities identified by the Adviser and its affiliates that are within the scope of our investment objectives and strategy generally are expected to be presented to us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Other Brookfield Accounts, in certain cases, will have overlapping investment objectives with us or priority over us with respect to investment opportunities that meet both our and such Other Brookfield Account’s investment objectives. Where our investment objectives overlap with the investment objectives of one or more Other Brookfield Accounts, investment opportunities will be allocated on a basis that Brookfield determines in good faith is fair and equitable taking into account one or more principles (the “Allocation Principles”) as it deems relevant in its discretion, including (among others) (a) the size, nature, location and type of the investment opportunity (including the risk and return profiles of the investment and expected holding period and other attributes) as well as its fit within each account’s

28


investment focus, (b) the nature of the investment focus, objectives, and strategies and target rates of return and target income streams of our company and such Other Brookfield Accounts (including the investment guidelines and limitations governing our company and such Other Brookfield Accounts), as adjusted from time to time, over the lives of our company and such Other Brookfield Accounts, (c) the geographic location of the investment opportunity, and Brookfield’s determination of the appropriateness of the risks of investing in such location for our company and the Other Brookfield Accounts, (d) the relative amounts of capital available for investment, (e) principles of diversification of assets and portfolios (e.g., sector, geographic, risk and/or asset concentration considerations), (f) the expected future capacity of our company and Other Brookfield Accounts, (g) cash and liquidity needs, including for active pursuit of pipeline, follow-on, staged draw investments (including funding obligations with respect to such investments that are contingent upon achievement of certain milestones) and other opportunities pursued by our company and such Other Brookfield Accounts, (h) the availability of other appropriate or similar investment opportunities, (i) the extent to which the investment professionals involved in managing our company or the Other Brookfield Accounts participated in the sourcing and/or diligencing of the investment opportunity and as a result their knowledge and understanding of the investment opportunity, (j) the management of any actual or potential conflict of interest, and/or (k) other considerations deemed relevant by Brookfield (including legal, regulatory, tax, structuring, compliance, investment specific, timing and similar considerations). To the extent that Brookfield determines that an overlap situation is likely to be recurring for particular types of investment opportunities, Brookfield could (but will not be required to) determine to apply the Allocation Principles in accordance with a formulaic or other systematic approach for any period of time, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. The factors considered by Brookfield in allocating investments among our company and Other Brookfield Accounts are expected to change over time (including to consider new, additional factors) and different factors are likely to be emphasized or be considered less relevant with respect to different investments. In some cases this will result in certain transactions being shared among our company and one or more Other Brookfield Accounts, while in other cases it will result in our company or one or more Other Brookfield Accounts being excluded from an investment entirely. In particular, Other Brookfield Accounts include an open-end private fund whose primary objective is to seek investments in high-quality properties located primarily in major markets in the United States, and other open-end private funds with similar investment strategies in other parts of the world, including Europe and Australia (collectively, the “Open-Ended Core Plus Funds”). Investment opportunities that are appropriate for the Open-Ended Core Plus Funds often require asset management or repositioning activities that are generally expected to result in greater appreciation potential than investment opportunities that are allocated to us, but in many cases will not be expected to generate sufficient stable current income to be consistent with our investment objectives and strategy. However, since the Open-Ended Core Plus Funds’ investment objectives do overlap with ours, we expect that from time to time investment opportunities that fit the investment criteria of both us and one of the Open-Ended Core Plus Funds will arise. Such opportunities will be allocated in accordance with the Allocation Principles. In addition, Brookfield manages certain Other Brookfield Accounts that invest in real estate debt. Brookfield generally expects to offer debt investment opportunities to its real estate debt funds before offering them to us because, while we expect to selectively invest in real estate debt, our investment strategy focuses primarily on equity investments. Brookfield also manages Other Brookfield Accounts that target “opportunistic” returns, Other Brookfield Accounts that focus on real estate secondary investments (which include, among other things, investments in pooled investment vehicles managed by third parties or recapitalization of third-party managed investment vehicles (in whole or in part)) and Other Brookfield Accounts that focus on single family rental properties, each of which is expected to receive allocations of investment opportunities suitable for its investment mandates before such opportunities are offered to us. Further, Brookfield may source future investment opportunities related to, or arising from, an existing investment, and such future investment opportunities may be allocated to an Other Brookfield Account instead of us because of timing or other considerations, such as lack of required available funds. These subsequent investments may dilute or otherwise adversely affect our interests or the interests of the previously invested Other Brookfield Account. As a result of the foregoing, opportunities sourced by Brookfield that would otherwise be suitable for us may not be available to us, or we may receive a smaller allocation of such opportunities than would otherwise have been the case.

29


Co-Investment Expenses. Co-investors will typically bear their pro rata share of fees, costs and expenses related to the discovery, investigation, development, acquisition or consummation, ownership, maintenance, monitoring, hedging and disposition of their co-investments and, in certain cases, may be required to pay their pro rata share of fees, costs and expenses related to potential investments that are not consummated, such as broken deal expenses (including “reverse” breakup fees). Brookfield will endeavor to allocate such fees, costs and expenses on a fair and equitable basis.

Facilitation of Co-Investments. Subject to the limitations set forth in our Charter, we may provide interim debt or equity financing (including emergency funding or as part of a follow-on investment) for the purpose of bridging a potential co-investment or a follow-on investment related to an existing co-investment (including prior to allocating or syndicating the co-investment or follow-on investment, as applicable, to co-investors) but only to the extent that we would have been permitted to make such investment. In order to potentially make available or otherwise facilitate co-investments, at any time during the course of an co-investment, we may also use our loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit to support the portion of the co-investment made (or to be made) by co-investors. In those circumstances, such co-investors would be expected to bear their pro rata share of fees, costs and expenses (including hedging expenses) associated therewith and repay any amounts that come due and payable under such loan facility, guarantee or letter of credit issued for their benefit. In connection with any such interim investment, we may hedge our currency, interest rate or other exposure and, as a result, may incur hedging or borrowing costs. In order to potentially make available or otherwise facilitate our investments, at any time during the course of an investment, we may also use our line of credit to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit to support the portion of the investment made (or to be made) by co-investors.

Client and Other Relationships. Brookfield and Oaktree each have long-term relationships with a significant number of developers, institutions, corporations and other market participants and their advisors (“Brookfield Client Relationships”). These Brookfield Client Relationships may hold or may have held investments similar to the investments intended to be made by us, including certain investments that may represent appropriate investment opportunities for us. These Brookfield Client Relationships may compete with us for investment opportunities. In determining whether to pursue a particular opportunity on our behalf, the Adviser may consider these relationships, and there may be certain potential opportunities which would not be pursued on our behalf in view of such relationships.

Pursuit of Investment Opportunities by Certain Non-Controlled Affiliates. Certain companies affiliated with Brookfield (i) are controlled, in whole or in part, by persons other than Brookfield or entities controlled by it, including, for example, joint ventures or similar arrangements with third parties where Brookfield does not have complete control, or (ii) do not coordinate or consult with Brookfield or entities controlled by it with respect to investment decisions (together, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”). Such Non-Controlled Affiliates are likely to have investment objectives which overlap with our investment objectives and conflicts are likely to arise therefrom. For example, from time to time such Non-Controlled Affiliates or investment vehicles managed by such Non-Controlled Affiliates will pursue investment opportunities which are suitable for us, but which are not made available to us since such Non-Controlled Affiliates do not consult with or are not controlled by Brookfield or entities controlled by it.

Conflicts Relating to Investments by Other Brookfield Accounts. It is expected that (i) Brookfield (including through the Adviser, its personnel or one of its affiliates) will give advice, and take actions, with respect to current or future Other Brookfield Accounts (including proprietary accounts of Brookfield) that will compete or conflict with the advice the Adviser gives to our company, or will involve a different timing or nature of action than that taken with respect to our company, and (ii) investments by Other Brookfield Accounts may have the effect of disadvantaging our investment strategies. When an Other Brookfield Account either manages or implements a portfolio decision ahead of, or contemporaneously with, portfolio decisions for our company, market impact, liquidity constraints, or other factors could result in our company receiving less favorable results, paying higher transaction costs, or being otherwise disadvantaged.

Data and Information Sharing. Brookfield often has or obtains data and information that are utilized by Brookfield, our company, Other Brookfield Accounts or their portfolio companies across multiple strategies, businesses and operations that it would not otherwise have or obtain in the ordinary course. Conversely, Brookfield uses data and information that it has or acquires in connection with our activities for the benefit of its own business and investment activities as well as those of Other Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies. From time to time, Brookfield expects to commission third-party research, at our expense, in connection with its diligence of an investment opportunity for us or in connection with its management of one or more of our investments, and such research is expected to subsequently be available to Other Brookfield Accounts and the funds and accounts managed by Oaktree unrelated to our company (collectively, “Other Oaktree Accounts”), who will generally not be required to compensate us for the benefit they receive from such research. Such benefits could be material and Brookfield will have no duty, contractual, fiduciary or otherwise, to keep such information confidential from, or not use such information in connection with the business and investment activities of itself, Other Brookfield Accounts or Other Oaktree Accounts or their respective portfolio companies.

To the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, Brookfield may provide data management services to us and our investments or Other Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies (collectively, “Data Holders”). Such services could include, among other things, assistance with obtaining, analyzing, curating, processing, packaging, organizing, mapping, holding, transforming, enhancing, marketing and selling data for monetization through licensing or sale arrangements with third parties or directly with Data Holders. Brookfield may share the products from its data management services within Brookfield (including with our company, Other Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies) at no charge and, in such cases, the Data Holders are not expected to receive any financial or other benefit from having provided their data to Brookfield. The provision of data management services will create incentives for Brookfield to pursue and make investments that generate a significant amount of data, including on our behalf. While all of our investments will be within our investment mandate and consistent with our investment objectives, they could include investments that Brookfield might not otherwise have made or investments on terms less favorable than Brookfield otherwise would have sought to obtain had it not been providing data management services.

Terms of an Investment by an Other Brookfield Account May Benefit or Disadvantage Another Brookfield Account. From time to time, in making investment decisions for us or an Other Brookfield Account, the Adviser will face certain conflicts of interest between our interests, on the one hand, and the interests of the Other Brookfield Account. For example, subject to applicable law and any limitations contained in our Charter, the Adviser from time to time could cause us to invest in securities, bank loans or other obligations of portfolio companies or properties affiliated with or advised by Brookfield or in which Brookfield Accounts have an equity, debt or other interest, or to engage in investment transactions that result in Other Brookfield Accounts getting an economic benefit, being relieved of obligations or divested of investments.

Conflicts between Us and Other Brookfield Accounts and Their Portfolio Companies. There may be conflicts between us or one of our investments, on the one hand, and Brookfield or an Other Brookfield Account or one or more portfolio companies thereof, on the other hand. In such circumstances, such Other Brookfield Account or portfolio company thereof may take actions that have adverse consequences for us or one of our investments, such as seeking to increase its market share at the investment’s detriment, withdrawing business from the investment in favor of a competitor that offers the same product or service at a more competitive price, or increasing prices of its products in its capacity as a supplier of the investment or commencing litigation against the investment.

Purchase or Sale of Investments with Brookfield Affiliates. Without approval by a majority of our Board of Directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, we will not purchase any investments from, or sell any investments to, any Other Brookfield Account or any other Brookfield affiliate. In certain circumstances, subject to the limitations set forth in our Charter, we could invest in assets or companies in which Brookfield or an Other Brookfield Account (including a co-investment account) holds an equity or debt position or in which Brookfield or an Other Brookfield Account invests (either in equity or debt positions) subsequent to our investment.

31


Investment Platforms. We, alone or co-investing alongside Other Brookfield Accounts or third parties, may develop, organize or acquire assets that will serve as a platform for investments in a particular sector, geographic area or other niche (such arrangements, “Investment Platforms”). The management teams for such Investment Platforms (“Platform Management Teams”) will be owned and controlled by us, Other Brookfield Accounts or third parties, and may be established through recruitment, contract or the acquisition of one or more portfolio companies. The executives, officers, directors and shareholders of Platform Management Teams may represent other financial investors with whom we are not affiliated and whose interests may conflict with our interests, or which may include other professional interests that may conflict with our interests.

Insurance and Reinsurance Capital. Brookfield currently manages, and expects in the future to manage, one or more Other Brookfield Accounts that focus on investing insurance- and reinsurance-related capital (“Brookfield Insurance Accounts”). Among other things, Brookfield Insurance Accounts are expected to invest in securities of issuers affiliated with our company or Other Brookfield Accounts, including securities issued by portfolio companies such as investment grade, high-yield and other debt securities, and certain equity investments. Brookfield Insurance Accounts’ investments in debt securities or instruments could result in Brookfield Insurance Accounts, Other Brookfield Accounts and us being invested in different levels of an issuer’s capital structure. These situations will give rise to conflicts of interests and potential adverse impacts on us.

Structuring of Investments and Subsidiaries. Because Brookfield controls the Adviser, which will be entitled to receive the management and performance fees, Brookfield may structure our company and our investments in a manner that is advantageous for Brookfield and may implement various strategies and structures over time based on its own interests and objectives, while also taking into account the interests of our stockholders.

Restrictions on the Adviser’s Activities. The Adviser is subject to certain protocols, obligations and restrictions in managing us, including conflicts-management protocols, aggregated regulatory reporting obligations and other regulatory restrictions such as REIT affiliate rules and regulations (which also apply with respect to certain Brookfield businesses that are separated by an information barrier, including PSG and Oaktree) and certain investment-related restrictions, which could in certain situations have an adverse effect on us.

Financings. If an Other Brookfield Account, Other Oaktree Account or Brookfield Insurance Account participates as a lender in borrowings by us or any of our subsidiaries, Brookfield’s or Oaktree’s interests may conflict with our interests. In this situation, our assets may be pledged to such Other Brookfield Account, Other Oaktree Account or Brookfield Insurance Account as security for the loan. In its capacity as a lender, the relevant Other Brookfield Account, Other Oaktree Account or Brookfield Insurance Account may act in its own interest, without regard for our interests, which may materially and adversely affect us, any subsidiary or investment entity and, in certain circumstances such as an event of default, ultimately may result in foreclosure of our assets and a loss of the entire investment.

Financing to Fund Counterparties. There may be situations in which an Other Brookfield Account will offer or commit to provide financing to one or more third parties that are expected to bid for or purchase one of our investments (in whole or in part) from us. This type of financing could be provided through pre-arranged financing packages arranged and offered by an Other Brookfield Account to potential bidders in the relevant sales process or otherwise pursuant to bilateral negotiations between one or more bidders and the Other Brookfield Account. For example, where we seek to sell one of our investments (in whole or in part) to a third party in the normal course, an Other Brookfield Account may offer such third-party debt financing to facilitate its bid and potential purchase of such investment.

Investments by Brookfield Personnel. The partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of Brookfield, including the Adviser (“Brookfield Personnel”), are permitted to buy and sell securities or other investments for their own accounts (including our securities and interests in Other Brookfield Accounts) or accounts of their family members, including trusts and other controlled entities. Positions may be taken by such Brookfield Personnel that are the same, different from, or made at different times than positions taken for our company. To reduce the possibility of (a) potential conflicts between our investment activities and those of Brookfield Personnel, and (b) our company being materially adversely

32


affected by personal trading activities described above, Brookfield has established policies and procedures relating to personal securities trading. To this end, Brookfield Personnel that participate in managing our investment activities are generally restricted from engaging in personal trading activities (unless such activities are conducted through accounts over which Brookfield Personnel have no influence or control), and other Brookfield Personnel generally must pre-clear proposed personal trades. In addition, Brookfield’s policies include prohibitions on insider trading, front running, trading in securities that are on Brookfield’s securities watch list, trading in securities that are subject to a black-out period and other restrictions.

Investments by the Related-Party Investor. Certain executives and former executives of Brookfield own a substantial majority of an investment vehicle (the “Related-Party Investor”) whose investment mandate is managed by Brookfield, Oaktree and PSG. There is no information barrier between the personnel managing the Related-Party Investor’s activities and the rest of Brookfield (with the exception of Oaktree and PSG, which are walled off). Brookfield has adopted protocols designed to ensure that the Related-Party Investor’s activities do not materially conflict with or adversely affect our activities (or any Other Brookfield Account) and to ensure that our interests (and the interests of Other Brookfield Accounts) are, to the extent feasible, prioritized relative to the Related-Party Investor’s interests, including among others in connection with the allocation of investment opportunities and the timing of execution of investments.

Brookfield’s Public Securities Group. Brookfield is an active participant, as agent and principal, in the global fixed income, currency, commodity, equities and other markets. Certain of Brookfield’s investment activities are managed independently of, and carried out without any reference to, the management of our company. In particular, PSG manages investment funds and accounts that invest in public debt and equity markets. There is currently an information barrier in place pursuant to which the Adviser and PSG manage their investment operations independently of each other and do not generally share information relating to such activities. In addition, in certain circumstances, funds or accounts managed by PSG will hold an interest in an investment (or potential investment) of ours. In such situations, PSG funds or accounts may benefit from our activities. In addition, as a result of different investment objectives and views, PSG is likely to manage its interests in a way that is different from us. Brookfield has discretion at any time, and without notice to our stockholders, to remove or modify such information barrier. If the information barrier is removed or modified, the Adviser would be subject to certain protocols, obligations and restrictions in managing our company.

Conflicts Relating to the Ownership of Oaktree. The Adviser has engaged Oaktree as a sub-adviser. Brookfield owns a majority of the business of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, an indirect controlling parent of Oaktree, which together with certain related transactions results in Brookfield owning a majority economic interest in Oaktree’s business. Brookfield and Oaktree operate their respective investment businesses largely independently pursuant to an information barrier, with each operating under its brand and led by its own management and investment teams. So long as the information barrier remains in place, Oaktree, Other Oaktree Accounts and their respective portfolio companies will not be treated as “affiliates” of Brookfield or us for purposes of Brookfield’s identification and management of conflicts of interest (e.g., allocation of investment opportunities, transactions or services with us or Other Oaktree Accounts). It is expected we and our investments (as well as Other Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies) will engage in activities and have business relationships that give rise to conflicts (and potential conflicts) of interest between us (or such Other Brookfield Account), on the one hand, and Oaktree and Other Oaktree Accounts, on the other hand.

There is (and in the future will continue to be) overlap in investment strategies and investments pursued by us and Other Oaktree Accounts. Nevertheless, the Adviser does not expect to coordinate or consult with Oaktree with respect to investment activities or decisions for our company other than with respect to the services provided to us by the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements. While this absence of coordination and consultation, and the information barrier described above, will in some respects serve to mitigate conflicts of interests between us and Other Oaktree Accounts, these same factors also will give rise to certain conflicts and risks in connection with Brookfield’s and Oaktree’s investment activities, and make it more difficult to mitigate, ameliorate or avoid such situations.

33


In addition, from time to time and subject to the limitations set forth in our Charter, Other Oaktree Accounts may hold an interest in an investment (or potential investment) of ours, or subsequently purchase (or sell) an interest in an investment (or potential investment) of ours including in different parts of the capital structure. Conversely, we could be adversely impacted by Oaktree’s activities. In addition, as a result of different investment objectives, views or interests in investments, it is expected that Oaktree will manage certain Other Oaktree Accounts’ interests in a way that is different from our interests, which could adversely impact our direct or indirect interests. Oaktree and Other Oaktree Accounts are also expected to take positions, give advice and provide recommendations that are different, and potentially contrary to, those which are taken by, or given or provided to, us, and are expected to hold interests that potentially are adverse to those held by us, directly or indirectly. We, on the one hand, and Other Oaktree Accounts, on the other hand, will in certain cases have divergent interests, including the possibility that, subject to the limitations set forth in our Charter, our interests are subordinated to Other Oaktree Accounts’ interests or are otherwise adversely affected by Other Oaktree Accounts’ involvement in and actions related to an investment. Oaktree will not have any obligation or other duty to make available for our benefit any information regarding its activities, strategies or views.

Material, Non-Public Information. Brookfield (including PSG, Oaktree and other Brookfield businesses that are separated by information barriers) and Other Brookfield Accounts are deemed to be affiliates for purposes of certain laws and regulations and it is anticipated that, from time to time and subject to the limitations set forth in our Charter, we and Other Brookfield Accounts will each have positions (which in some cases will be significant) in one or more of the same investments. As such, Brookfield must aggregate certain investment holdings, including our holdings and the holdings of Brookfield and Other Brookfield Accounts for certain securities laws purposes and other regulatory purposes. Consequently, activities by Brookfield Accounts could result in earlier public disclosure of investments by us or Other Brookfield Accounts, restrictions on transactions by us or Other Brookfield Accounts (including the ability to make or dispose of certain investments at certain times), adverse effects on the prices of investments made by us or Other Brookfield Accounts, potential short-swing profit disgorgement, penalties or regulatory remedies, or otherwise create conflicts of interest for Brookfield and the Adviser.

Allocation of Costs and Expenses. The Adviser decides whether costs and expenses (including, among others, those incurred in connection with Affiliated Services, internal audits and engagements of third-party service providers) are to be borne by us, on the one hand, or the Adviser (or an affiliate thereof), on the other hand, and whether certain costs and expenses should be allocated between or among us, on the one hand, and Other Brookfield Accounts, on the other hand, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

Affiliated Services and Transactions. Brookfield intends to perform or provide a variety of different services or products to us and our investments or potential investments that would otherwise be provided by independent third parties, including (among others): lending and loan special servicing, arranging, negotiating and managing financing, refinancing, hedging, derivative, managing workouts and foreclosures and other treasury and capital markets arrangements; investment banking; investment support, including investment backstop, guarantees and similar investment support arrangements; advisory, consulting, brokerage, market research, appraisal, valuation, risk management, assurance, and audit services (including related to investment, assets, commodities, goods and services); financial planning, cash flow modeling and forecasting, consolidation, reporting, books and records, bank account and cash management, controls and other financial operations services; transaction support, assisting with review, underwriting, analytics, due diligence and pursuit of investments and potential investments; anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering and “know your customer” reviews, assessments and compliance measures; investment onboarding (including training employees of investments on relevant policies and procedures relating to risks); legal, compliance, regulatory, tax and corporate secretarial services; fund administration, accounting and reporting (including coordinating, supervising and administering onboarding, due diligence, reporting and other administrative services, including those associated with the third party fund administrator and placement agents and client onboarding (including review of subscription materials and coordination of anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering or “know your customer” reviews and assessments); preparation and review of operative documents, negotiation with prospective investors and other services that would be considered organizational expenses of our company if performed by a third party; portfolio company and asset/property operations and management (and oversight thereof); data generation, data

34


analytics, data analysis, data collection and data management services; participation in and/or advice on a range of activities by strategic and/or operations of professionals with established industry expertise, including among others in connection with (or with respect to) the origination, identification, assessment, pursuit, coordination, execution and consummation of investment opportunities, including project planning, engineering and other technical analysis, securing site control, preparing and managing approvals and permits, financial analysis and managing related-stakeholder matters; real estate, leasing and/or asset/facility management; development management (including pre-development, market and site analysis, modeling, zoning, entitlements, land use, pre-construction, community and government relations, design, environmental review and approvals, securing and administering compliance with governmental agreements, government approvals and incentive programs, permitting, site safety planning and construction); marketing (including of power or other output by an underlying asset/portfolio company); environmental and sustainability services; the placement and provision of various insurance policies and coverage and/or reinsurance thereof, including via risk retention, insurance captives and/or alternative insurance solutions; system controls; human resources, payroll and welfare benefits services; health, life and physical safety, security, operations, maintenance and other technical specialties; supply and/or procurement of power, energy and/or other commodities/goods/products; information technology services, risk management and innovation (including cyber/digital security and related services); all services contemplated by the Rate Schedule (as defined below); other operational, back office, administrative and governance related services; oversight and supervision of the provision, whether by a Brookfield affiliate/related party or a third party, of the above-referenced services and products; and any other services that Brookfield deems appropriate, relevant and/or necessary in connection with the operations and/or management of our company and its stockholders, investments, potential investments and/or investment entities (such services, collectively, “Affiliated Services”). To the extent that Brookfield (including any of its affiliates or personnel, other than portfolio companies of Other Brookfield Accounts) provides Affiliated Services to us, a feeder vehicle or any of our investments, such person or their affiliates or designees will receive fees or cost reimbursement (which may include a carried interest or similar type of incentive fee): (a) at rates set out in a rate schedule that is approved by a majority of our Board of Directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, as fair and reasonable and no less favorable than rates charged by third parties for comparable services (the “Rate Schedule”), or (b) to the extent that rates for an Affiliated Service are not included in the Rate Schedule, at or below an arm’s-length market rate that is approved by a majority of our Board of Directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair and reasonable and no less favorable than rates charged by third parties for comparable services (“Affiliated Service Rate”). A portion of any fees paid to Brookfield affiliates in accordance with the Rate Schedule may be paid as a pass-through of payroll costs for the Brookfield personnel providing such services (in which case the amount payable as a fee in accordance with the Rate Schedule will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis).

With respect to Affiliated Services, the costs of personnel managing day to day operations of an investment (collectively, “Operating Personnel”), in each case whether employed by Brookfield or a third-party and whether performing services on site or off site, will be charged our investments at cost (including an allocable share of internal costs) in addition to the fees that are prescribed by the Rate Schedule or the Affiliate Service Rate, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees so charged will not be reduced by the costs of Operating Personnel. The passed-through costs of such Operating Personnel are often substantial, and in certain cases, are expected to exceed the amount of fees charged in accordance with the Rate Schedule or the Affiliated Services Rate, as applicable.

In certain cases, Brookfield will oversee and/or supervise third-party service providers who provide services that, if performed by Brookfield, would be charged to us in accordance with the Rate Schedule and/or the Affiliate Service Rate; in such cases, Brookfield may charge, (i) fees that, when combined with the fees charged by the third party services provider, are at a rate equal to or less than those set out in the Rate Schedule, or (ii) at cost (including an allocable share of internal costs) plus an administrative fee of 5% in addition to the third-party service provider’s fees, which amounts may in the aggregate exceed the rates set forth on the Rate Schedule.

35


Administrative Services. The Adviser expects to perform certain support services for us and our investments that could otherwise be outsourced to third parties, including legal, accounting, investor relations, tax, capital markets, financial operations services and other administrative services. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we will reimburse the Adviser for such administrative service expenses, including, but not limited to, personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Adviser or its affiliates in performing such services on our behalf, provided that no reimbursement shall be made for expenses related to personnel of the Adviser and its affiliates who provide investment advisory services to us pursuant to the Advisory Agreement or who serve as our directors or executive officers as designated by our Board of Directors. The Adviser will be under no obligation to evaluate alternative providers or to compare pricing for these administrative services. While the Adviser believes that this enhances the services the Adviser can offer to us and our investments in a cost-efficient manner, the relationship presents conflicts of interest. The Adviser will set the compensation for the employees who provide these administrative services and will determine other significant expenditures that will affect the expense reimbursement provided by us and our investments.

Transactions with Portfolio Companies. In addition to any Affiliated Services described above, certain of our investments will in the ordinary course of business provide services or goods to, receive services or goods from, lease space to or from, or participate in agreements, transactions or other arrangements with (including the purchase and sale of assets or debt securities and other matters that would otherwise be transacted with independent third parties), portfolio companies owned by Other Brookfield Accounts, PSG, Oaktree, Other Oaktree Accounts and Non-Controlled Affiliates. In cases where such portfolio companies are “affiliates” of Brookfield, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates for purposes of our Charter, these transactions will be entered into only with the approval by a majority of our Board of Directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated entities. Furthermore, Brookfield (or Other Brookfield Accounts, Other Oaktree Accounts or their businesses) will from time to time make equity or other investments in companies or businesses that provide services to or otherwise contract with us or our investments.

Possible Future Activities. Brookfield expects to expand the range of services that it provides over time. Except as provided herein, Brookfield will not be restricted in the scope of its business or in the performance of any services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein. Brookfield has, and will continue to develop, relationships with a significant number of companies, financial sponsors and their senior managers, including relationships with companies that hold or may have held investments similar to those made by us as well as companies that compete with us. These companies may themselves represent appropriate investment opportunities for us or may compete with us for investment opportunities and other business activities.

Advisors. Brookfield from time to time engages or retains strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants or other professionals who are not employees or affiliates of Brookfield, but which include former Brookfield employees as well as current and former officers of Brookfield portfolio companies (collectively, “Consultants”). Consultants are expected, from time to time, to receive payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, Brookfield, us or our investments. In such circumstances, payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, us or our investments generally will be treated as our expenses. Exclusive arrangements or other factors may result in such compensation arrangements not always being comparable to costs, fees or expenses charged by other third parties. Accounting, network, communications, administration and other support benefits, including office space, may be provided by Brookfield or us to Consultants without charge, and any costs associated with such support may be borne by us.

Shared Resources. In certain circumstances, in order to create efficiencies and optimize performance, one or more of our investments or properties may determine to share the operational, legal, financial, back-office or other resources of an investment or property of Brookfield or an Other Brookfield Account. In connection therewith, the costs and expenses related to such services will be allocated among the relevant entities on a basis that Brookfield determines in good faith is fair and equitable (but which will be

36


inherently subjective). To the extent these types of arrangements constitute transactions between us or our investments on the one hand, and “affiliates” of Brookfield, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates for purposes of our Charter, these arrangements will be entered into only with the approval by a majority of our Board of Directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated entities.

Travel Expenses. We will reimburse the Adviser and its affiliates for out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred in identifying, evaluating, sourcing, researching, structuring, negotiating, acquiring, making, holding, developing, operating, managing, selling or potentially selling, restructuring or otherwise disposing of our proposed or actual investments, in connection with the formation, marketing and offering of our shares and otherwise in connection with our business. In addition, travel expenses incurred in the marketing and offering of our shares will be considered offering expenses, including where such travel expenses relate to the offering of a feeder vehicle primarily created to hold our shares of common stock.

Service Providers. From time to time, our service providers or service providers of our investment entities invest in us or are sources of investment opportunities and counterparties therein, or otherwise participate in transactions or other arrangements (or otherwise have a business, financial or other relationship) with us, Brookfield or Brookfield affiliates. Furthermore, employees of Brookfield or Brookfield portfolio companies have and may in the future have family members or relatives employed by service providers to us, any Other Brookfield Account or Brookfield. All of the above factors may influence Brookfield in deciding whether to select such a service provider. In addition, we and Other Brookfield Accounts (including Brookfield for its own account) and their portfolio companies often engage common providers of goods or services. These common providers sometimes provide bulk discounts or other fee discount arrangements, which may be based on an expectation of a certain amount of aggregate engagements by Other Brookfield Accounts and portfolio companies over a period of time.

Use of Brookfield Arrangements. We may seek to use a swap, currency conversion or hedging arrangement or line of credit or other financing that Brookfield has in place for our own benefit or the benefit of Other Brookfield Accounts. In this case, Brookfield will pass through the terms of such arrangement to us as if we had entered into the transaction itself. However, in such cases we will be exposed to Brookfield’s credit risk since we will not have direct contractual privity with the counterparty. Further, it is possible that we would have been able to obtain more favorable terms for our company if we had entered into the arrangement directly with the counterparty.

Insurance. The Adviser will cause us to purchase insurance for the benefit of our company and other indemnified parties with respect to matters related to our business (including directors and officers liability insurance and errors and omissions insurance), or for our benefit or any of our investments, with respect to investment-related matters (including terrorism, property, title, liability and fire insurance or extended coverage). We and Other Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies and other investments may utilize Brookfield affiliates for placement and administration of insurance or an affiliated insurance broker or insurance provider in connection with all or part of their insurance coverage, and we may leverage the scale of Brookfield by participating in shared, or umbrella, insurance policies as part of a broader group of entities affiliated with Brookfield. To the extent an insurance policy provides coverage with respect to matters related to our company or our investments, all or a portion of the fees and expenses (including premiums) of such insurance policy and its placement will be allocated to us. Because Brookfield will bear a portion of such fees and expenses and has differing investment interests in the funds and accounts it manages, conflicts may arise in the determination of the proper allocation of such fees and expenses among Brookfield and such funds and accounts.

Diverse Interests. In certain circumstances, the Brookfield Investor in its capacity as one of our stockholders may have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with the interests of other stockholders. Such conflicting interests could relate to or arise from, among other things, the nature of our investments, the residency or domicile of our stockholders and the manner in which one or more of our investments are reported for tax purposes. As a consequence, in certain circumstances, conflicts of interest will arise in connection with the decisions made by the Adviser, including with respect to the nature,

37


structuring or reporting of our investments, that may be adverse to our stockholders generally, or may be more beneficial for a particular stockholder than for another, including with respect to stockholders’ particular tax situations. In selecting and structuring potential investments appropriate for us, the Adviser will consider our investment and tax objectives and those of our stockholders as a whole (and those of investors in Other Brookfield Accounts that participate in the same investments as us), not the investment, tax or other objectives of any stockholder individually. However, conflicts may arise if certain stockholders have objectives that conflict with ours. In addition, Brookfield may face certain tax risks based on positions we take, including as a withholding agent. In connection therewith, Brookfield may take certain actions, including withholding amounts to cover actual or potential tax liabilities, that it may not have taken in the absence of such tax risks.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Allocation of Personnel. The Adviser and its affiliates will devote such time as they deem necessary to conduct our business affairs in an appropriate manner. However, Brookfield Personnel will also work on matters related to Other Brookfield Accounts. Accordingly, conflicts may arise in the allocation of personnel among us and such Other Brookfield Accounts.

Fees and Other Compensation to the Adviser and the Dealer Manager. The agreements between us and the Adviser and the Dealer Manager are not the result of arm’s-length negotiations. As a result, the fees we agree to pay pursuant to the relevant agreements may exceed what we would pay to an independent third party. These agreements, including the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, require approval by a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in such agreements, as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated entities.

The timing and nature of the fees the Adviser and the Dealer Manager receive from us could create a conflict of interest between the Adviser or the Dealer Manager, on the one hand, and our stockholders, on the other hand. Specifically, the Adviser is responsible for the calculation of our NAV, and the management fee we pay the Adviser and the fees we pay the Dealer Manager are based on our NAV. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect the judgment of the Adviser’s personnel with respect to: the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement; the decision to adjust the value of any of our investments or the calculation of our NAV; and public offerings of equity by us, which may result in increased advisory fees to the Adviser and increased fees to the Dealer Manager.

UPREIT Structure. Our umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”) structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with limited partners in the Operating Partnership whose interests may not be aligned with those of our stockholders. Our directors and officers have duties to the us and our stockholders under Maryland law and our Charter in connection with their management of the us. At the same time, the OP GP, our wholly-owned subsidiary, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, has fiduciary duties under Delaware law to the Operating Partnership and to the limited partners in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. Our duties as the sole member of the general partner of the Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to the us and our stockholders. Additionally, the partnership agreement expressly limits the general partner’s liability by providing that it will not be liable or accountable to the Operating Partnership for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived if it acted in good faith. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the general partner for liabilities the general partner incurs in dealings with third parties on behalf of the Operating Partnership.

Calculation Errors. The calculation of amounts due to the Adviser and Brookfield affiliates in connection with the provision of services to us and our investments (including amounts owed in respect of Affiliated Services, protective loans, cost allocations, and other matters) is complex and at times based on estimates and/or subject to periodic (post-transaction) reconciliations. Brookfield may make errors in calculating such amounts, and/or recognize over-or under-estimates of such amounts in performing routine reconciliations and/or other internal reviews. When such an error or under-or over-estimate that disadvantaged us is discovered, Brookfield will make us whole for such amount based on the particular situation, which may involve a return of distributions or fees or a waiver of future distributions or fees, in each case in an amount

necessary to reimburse us for such overpayment. As a general matter, Brookfield does not expect to pay interest on such amounts. Likewise, when an error or under-or over-estimate that advantaged us is discovered, Brookfield will make itself whole for such amount, as applicable, and generally will not charge interest in connection with any such make-whole payment.

Investment Banking and Other Activities. Brookfield and its affiliates may provide investment banking, advisory, consulting, restructuring, broker-dealer and other services to third parties, including investments in which we may desire to invest or issuers with which we may desire to transact. In such circumstances, we may be restricted from pursuing such investment or transaction as a result of limitations imposed by, among other things, applicable law or Brookfield’s internal conflicts or compliance policies.

Brookfield Conflicts Committee. Numerous actual and potential conflicts of interest are expected to arise in connection with the management and operation of our company, our investments and other activities. Pursuant to our Charter, certain conflicts of interest are required to be disclosed to, or approved by, our Board of Directors. Other conflicts of interest, however, will be resolved by Brookfield. In certain circumstances, potential conflicts of interest related to Brookfield and us may arise, which the Adviser, in its discretion, determines to present to Brookfield’s conflicts committee for review and approval. Brookfield’s conflicts committee is intended to provide review and analysis, and ensure appropriate resolution, of potential conflicts of interest. However, there can be no assurance that the Adviser will send all potential conflicts of interest to the conflicts committee. Furthermore, the conflicts committee comprises representatives from Brookfield and, as a result, (a) such representatives may themselves be subject to conflicts of interest and (b) there can be no assurance that any determinations made by the conflicts committee will be favorable to us. The conflicts committee will act in good faith to resolve potential conflicts of interest in a manner that is fair and balanced, taking into account the facts and circumstances known to it at the time. However, there is no guarantee that the conflicts committee will make the decision that is most beneficial to us or that the conflicts committee would not have reached a different decision if additional information were available to it.

Review of Transactions by the Independent Directors of the Board of Directors. Every transaction that we enter into with the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or their respective affiliates will be subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our Board of Directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate of the Adviser in the event of a default by or disagreement or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and the Adviser or any of its affiliates. In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our Charter requires that certain transactions are to be reviewed by our independent directors.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies by reducing printing and mailing costs and helps the environment by conserving natural resources. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will generally continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. You can also request prompt delivery of a copy of the proxy statement and annual report by contacting us in writing at Oaktreeto our Secretary, Brookfield Real Estate Income Trust Inc., 333 S. Grand Avenue, 28that Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 or by phone at (213) 830-6300.New York, NY 10281.
