On April 4, 2012, Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, as tax administrator and as custodian, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as trust advisor, of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C6 (the “Certificates”). The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S and Class B Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”) were sold to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as underwriters (collectively, in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated March 16, 2012, between the Registrant, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the Underwriters.
On April 1, 2012, the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”) were sold to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, RBS Securities Inc. and J.P.
