Hi, this is Rich Byrne. I’m the CEO of Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust. I’m calling you about our Annual Meeting that is being held soon; it’s on May 31. We need your vote. You should have received proxy information relating to the meeting over the past few weeks. These packages include instructions on how you can easily vote your shares by mail or over the phone or online. We ask you to vote as soon as possible. In fact, we can make this very easy and you can just do it by phone. You can vote now by pressing the number one on your keypad and you’ll be connected to a Broadridge proxy specialist who can take your vote. If you’re receiving this message as a recording, you can also vote now by just dialing this number: (855) 601-2252. That is (855) 601-2252. Acting now preempts additional costs of outreach and will also ensure that you will not receive any additional solicitation. Please vote; it is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Thank you again for your time and we appreciate your confidence in Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust.
