The Company to a lesser extent invests in real estate debt investments. The Company is the sole general partner and majority limited partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BREIT OP”). BREIT Special Limited Partner L.P. (the “Special Limited Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackstone Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Blackstone”), owns a special limited partner interest in BREIT OP. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through BREIT OP. The Company and BREIT OP are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone, a leading global investment manager. The Company was formed on November 16, 2015 as a Maryland corporation and qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company registered an offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of up to $60.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $48.0 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $12.0 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, which the Company began using to offer shares of its common stock in March 2022 (the “Current Offering”). As of March 31, 2023, the Company had received aggregate net proceeds of $72.0 billion from selling shares of the Company’s common stock through the Current Offering, prior offerings registered with the SEC, and in unregistered private offerings. The Company intends to sell any combination of four classes of shares of its common stock, with a dollar value up to the maximum aggregate amount of the Current Offering.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included in interest expense of $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been reclassified to income from interest rate derivatives to conform to the current period presentation. Additionally, certain amounts in the Company’s prior period Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included in other income (expense) of $636.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been reclassified to income from interest rate derivatives to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest through majority ownership or voting rights and variable interest entities whereby the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally considered voting interest entities (“VOEs”) and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are consolidated when the Company controls the entity through a majority voting interest or other means.
When the requirements for consolidation are not met and the Company has significant influence over the operations of the entity, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities for which the Company has not elected a fair value option are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s pro-rata share of net income, contributions and distributions. When the Company elects the fair value option (“FVO”), the Company records its share of net asset value of the entity and any related unrealized gains and losses.
BREIT OP and each of the Company’s joint ventures are considered to be a VIE or VOE. The Company consolidates these entities, excluding certain investments in unconsolidated entities, because it has the ability to direct the most significant activities of the entities such as purchases, dispositions, financings, budgets, and overall operating plans.
For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint venture is included in non-controlling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage. Certain of the joint ventures formed by the Company provide the other partner a profits interest based on certain internal rate of return hurdles being achieved. Any profits interest due to the other partner is reported within non-controlling interests.
The Company owns certain subordinate securities in CMBS securitizations that give the Company certain rights with respect to the underlying loans that serve as collateral for the CMBS securitization. In particular, these subordinate securities typically give the holder the right to direct certain activities of the securitization on behalf of all securityholders, which could impact the securitization's overall economic performance. Such rights, along with the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from the ownership of the subordinate securities, require consolidation of these securitizations, which are considered VIEs under GAAP.
As of March 31, 2023, the total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, excluding BREIT OP, were $51.8 billion and $37.7 billion, respectively, compared to $52.1 billion and $37.8 billion as of December 31, 2022. Such amounts are included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Adjustment to Prior Period Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company determined that it should have consolidated certain securitization vehicles in previously issued financial statements. These consolidations result from certain subordinate securities that the Company owns in CMBS securitizations (such securities, “Controlling Class Securities”) as part of its portfolio of investments in real estate debt. These Controlling Class Securities typically give the Company the right to direct certain activities of the securitization on behalf of all securityholders, which could impact the securitization's overall economic performance. Under GAAP, the presence of such rights, along with the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from the ownership of the Controlling Class Securities, require the Company to consolidate these securitizations, which are considered VIEs.
See Principles of Consolidation section above for further discussion of VIEs. As discussed further below, consolidation of these securitizations results in (i) a gross presentation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) the reclassification of the change in net assets of the securitization vehicles on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and (iii) the gross presentation of securitization vehicles on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, but has no impact on the economic exposure or performance of the Company.
The consolidation of these securitizations results in the inclusion of the underlying collateral loans as assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the inclusion of the senior CMBS positions owned by third-parties as liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the change in net assets of the consolidated securitization vehicles during a given period is presented separately on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas it was previously included in income from investments in real estate debt. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows includes the consolidation of the securitization vehicles as a non-cash item, the subsequent repayments of consolidated loans and related CMBS positions are presented on a gross basis, and the Company's purchases and sales of non-controlling securities in consolidated securitization vehicles are reclassed from investing activities to financing activities. There is no impact from consolidation on the Company’s total equity, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or net cash flows.
Further, the assets of any particular consolidated securitization can only be used to satisfy the liabilities of that securitization and such assets are not available to the Company for any other purpose. Similarly, the senior CMBS obligations of these securitizations can only be satisfied through repayment of the underlying collateral loans, as they do not have any recourse to the Company or its assets, nor has the Company provided any guarantees with respect to the performance or repayment of the senior CMBS obligations. Accordingly, while consolidation of the securitizations increases the gross presentation of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, it does not change the economic exposure or performance of the Company, which remains limited to that of the actual CMBS securities that it holds directly and not the consolidated securitized loans.
The following tables detail the immaterial adjustments to the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the consolidation of these securitizations at such time, which presentation is comparable to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Under normal market conditions, the fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.
Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.
Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.
Valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
The Company’s investments in real estate debt are reported at fair value. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments in real estate debt, directly or indirectly, consisted of commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”) and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), which are securities backed by one or more mortgage loans secured by real estate assets, as well as corporate bonds, term loans, mezzanine loans, and other investments in debt issued by real estate-related companies or secured by real estate assets. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third-party pricing service providers whenever available.
In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models for securities such as real estate debt generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each security, and incorporate specific collateral performance, as applicable.
Certain of the Company’s investments in real estate debt, such as mezzanine loans and other investments, are unlikely to have readily available market quotations. In such cases, the Company will generally determine the initial value based on the acquisition price of such investment if acquired by the Company or the par value of such investment if originated by the Company. Following the initial measurement, the Company will determine fair value by utilizing or reviewing certain of the following (i) market yield data, (ii) discounted cash flow modeling, (iii) collateral asset performance, (iv) local or macro real estate performance, (v) capital market conditions, (vi) debt yield or loan-to-value ratios, and (vii) borrower financial condition and performance. Refer to Note 5 for additional details on the Company’s investments in real estate debt.
The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative under GAAP and measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CMBS securitizations it consolidates using the fair value of the financial liabilities, which it considers more observable than the fair value of the financial assets.
The Company’s investments in equity securities of public and private real estate-related companies are reported at fair value. In determining the fair value of public equity securities, the Company utilizes the closing price of such securities in the principal market in which the security trades (Level 1 inputs). The Company’s investment in a preferred equity security is reflected at its fair value as of March 31, 2023 (Level 2 inputs). In determining the fair value, the Company utilizes inputs such as stock volatility, discount rate, and risk-free interest rate. The Company’s investment in a private real estate company is reflected at its fair value as of March 31, 2023 (Level 3 inputs). To determine the fair value, the Company utilizes inputs such as the multiples of comparable companies and select financial statement metrics. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s $0.5 billion of equity securities were recorded as a component of Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The resulting unrealized and realized gains and losses from investments in equity securities of public and private real estate-related companies are recorded as a component of Other Expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $3.7 million of net unrealized loss and $125.4 million of net unrealized/realized loss, respectively, on its investments in equity securities.
The Company has elected the FVO for certain of its investments in unconsolidated entities and therefore, reports these investments at fair value. The Company separately values the assets and liabilities of the investments in unconsolidated entities. To determine the fair value of the real estate assets of the investments in unconsolidated entities, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology or market comparable methodology, taking into consideration various factors including discount rate, exit capitalization rate and multiples of comparable companies. The Company determines the fair value of the indebtedness of the investments in unconsolidated entities by modeling the cash flows required by the debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using weighted average cost of capital. Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. After the fair value of the assets and liabilities are determined, the Company applies its ownership interest to the net asset value and reflects this amount as its investments in unconsolidated entities at fair value. The inputs used in determining the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities carried at fair value are considered Level 3.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of foreign currency and interest rate contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency and interest rate contracts were estimated using advice from a third-party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs comprising yield curves, foreign currency rates and credit spreads (Level 2 inputs).
The following table details the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in thousands):

Valuation of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Certain of the Company’s assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments, such as when there is evidence of impairment, and therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company reviews its real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amount of the real estate value may not be recoverable.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment of $12.5 million related to its held-for-sale real estate investments. The fair value of such held-for-sale real estate investments as of March 31, 2023 was $36.9 million and was primarily based on the sale price per the binding executed contracts, which are considered a Level 2 input. Refer to Note 3 for additional details of the impairments.
Valuation of liabilities not measured at fair value
As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes, secured term loans, secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities was $1.4 billion below carrying value. Fair value of the Company’s indebtedness is estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company’s debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using an estimated market yield. Additionally, the Company considers current market rates and conditions by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness are considered Level 3.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of affiliate portfolio company service providers and certain employees of Simply Self Storage, Home Partners of America (“HPA”), and April Housing, all of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of BREIT. Such awards vest over the life of the awards and stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards on a graded vesting attribution method over the applicable vesting period of each award, based on the value of the awards on their grant date, as adjusted for forfeitures. The awards are subject to service periods ranging from three to four years. The vesting conditions that are based on the Company achieving certain returns over a stated hurdle amount are considered market conditions. The achievement of returns over the stated hurdle amounts, which affect the quantity of awards that vest, is considered a performance condition. If the Company determines it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the value of the award will be amortized over the service periods, as adjusted for forfeitures. The number of awards expected to vest is evaluated each reporting period and compensation expense is recognized for those awards for which achievement of the performance criteria is considered probable. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on the awards issued to certain employees of the affiliate portfolio companies.
The following table details the incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of Simply Self Storage, HPA and April Housing ($ in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” or ASU 2020-04. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP requirements for modifications on debt instruments, leases, derivatives, and other contracts, related to the market transition from LIBOR, and certain other floating rate benchmark indices, or collectively, “IBORs,” to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 generally considers contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date nor a reassessment of a previous accounting determination. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” or ASU 2021-01. ASU 2021-01 clarifies that the practical expedients in ASU 2020-04 apply to derivatives impacted by changes in the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” or ASU 2022-06. ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time, through December 31, 2024, as reference rate reform activities occur. Once ASU 2020-04 is elected, the guidance must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of March 31, 2023, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.

The Company acquired such affiliated CMBS from third-parties on market terms negotiated by the majority third-party investors. The Company has forgone all non-economic rights under these CMBS, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicles either own the properties collateralizing the underlying loans, or have an interest in a different part of the capital structure of such CMBS.
The Company acquired commercial real estate loans to borrowers that are owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. The Company has forgone all non-economic rights under these loans, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrowers. These loans were negotiated by third parties without the Company's involvement.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments in real estate debt also included $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, of CMBS collateralized, in part, by certain of the Company’s mortgage notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $37.8 million of gain and $28.7 million of loss, respectively, related to such CMBS.
6. Consolidated Securitization Vehicles
The Company has acquired the Controlling Class Securities of certain CMBS securitizations resulting in the consolidation of such securitizations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consolidation of these securitizations results in a gross presentation of the underlying collateral loans as discrete assets, as well as inclusion of the senior CMBS positions owned by third-parties, which are presented as liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of any particular consolidated securitization can only be used to satisfy the liabilities of that securitization and such assets are not available to the Company for any other purpose. Similarly, the senior CMBS obligations of these securitizations can only be satisfied through repayment of the underlying collateral loans, as they do not have any recourse to the Company or its assets, nor has the Company provided any guarantees with respect to the performance or repayment of the senior CMBS obligations.
The following tables detail the real estate loans held by the consolidated securitization vehicles and the related senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles ($ in thousands):

8. Secured Financings of Investments in Real Estate Debt
The Company has entered into master repurchase agreements and other financing agreements secured by certain of its investments in real estate debt. The terms of the master repurchase agreements and other financing agreements provide the lenders the ability to determine the size and terms of the financing provided based upon the particular collateral pledged by the Company from time-to-time, and may require the Company to provide additional collateral in the form of cash, securities, or other assets if the market value of such financed investments decline.

Accrued Stockholder Servicing Fee
The Company accrues the full amount of the future stockholder servicing fees payable to Blackstone Securities Partners L.P. (the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker dealer affiliated with the Adviser, for Class S, Class T, and Class D shares, up to the 8.75% of gross proceeds limit, at the time such shares are sold. The Dealer Manager has entered into agreements with the selected dealers distributing the Company’s shares as part of its continuous public offering, that provide, among other things, for the re-allowance of the full amount of the selling commissions and dealer manager fee, and all or a portion of the stockholder servicing fees received by the Dealer Manager to such selected dealers.
Performance Participation Allocation
The Special Limited Partner holds a performance participation interest in BREIT OP that entitles it to receive an allocation of BREIT OP’s total return. Total return is defined as distributions paid or accrued plus the change in the Company’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”), adjusted for subscriptions and repurchases. Under the BREIT OP agreement, the annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner only after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other BREIT OP unit holders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The allocation of the performance participation interest is ultimately measured on a calendar year basis and will be paid quarterly in Class I or Class B units of BREIT OP or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner. To date, the Special Limited Partner has always elected to be paid in a combination of Class I and Class B units, resulting in a non-cash expense.
Effective March 4, 2022, following the end of each calendar quarter that is not also the end of a calendar year, the Special Limited Partner has been entitled to a performance participation allocation as described above calculated in respect of the portion of the year to date, less any performance participation allocation received with respect to prior quarters in that year (the “Quarterly Allocation”). The performance participation allocation that the Special Limited Partner is entitled to receive at the end of each calendar year will be reduced by the cumulative amount of Quarterly Allocations that year. If a Quarterly Allocation is made and at the end of a subsequent calendar quarter in the same calendar year the Special Limited Partner is entitled to less than the previously received Quarterly Allocation(s) (a “Quarterly Shortfall”), then subsequent distributions of any Quarterly Allocations or year-end performance allocations in that calendar year will be reduced by an amount equal to such Quarterly Shortfall, until such time as no Quarterly Shortfall remains. If all or any portion of a Quarterly Shortfall remains at the end of a calendar year following the application described in the previous sentence, distributions of any Quarterly Allocations and year-end performance allocations in the subsequent four calendar years will be reduced by (i) the remaining Quarterly Shortfall plus (ii) an annual rate of 5% on the remaining Quarterly Shortfall measured from the first day of the calendar year following the year in which the Quarterly Shortfall arose and compounded quarterly (collectively, the “Quarterly Shortfall Obligation”) until such time as no Quarterly Shortfall Obligation remains; provided, that the Special Limited Partner (or its affiliate) may make a full or partial cash payment to reduce the Quarterly Shortfall Obligation at any time; provided, further, that if any Quarterly Shortfall Obligation remains following such subsequent four calendar years, then the Special Limited Partner (or its affiliate) will promptly pay BREIT OP the remaining Quarterly Shortfall Obligation in cash.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any performance participation allocation expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the full year performance participation allocation was less than the previously distributed Quarterly Allocations resulting in a Quarterly Shortfall amount of $74.9 million. Such Quarterly Shortfall amount is recorded as a receivable from the Special Limited Partner and included as a component of Other Assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Beginning January 1, 2023, interest on the Quarterly Shortfall will accrue at a 5% annual rate, compounded quarterly. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company accrued interest income of $1.0 million related to such Quarterly Shortfall amount.
As of May 12, 2023, Blackstone and its employees, including the Company’s executive officers, owned $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, shares of common stock of the Company and units of BREIT OP.
Accrued Management Fee
The Adviser is entitled to an annual management fee equal to 1.25% of the Company’s NAV, payable monthly, as compensation for the services it provides to the Company.

Affiliate service provider expenses and incentive compensation awards are included as a component of Rental Property Operating and Hospitality Operating expense, as applicable, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transaction support service fees were capitalized to Investments in Real Estate on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Neither Blackstone nor the Adviser receives any fees from these arrangements.
The Company issues incentive compensation awards to certain employees of portfolio company service providers. Such awards vest over the life of the awards and stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards on a graded vesting attribution method over the applicable vesting period of each award, based on the value of the awards on their grant date, as adjusted for forfeitures. The awards are subject to service periods ranging from three to four years. The vesting conditions that are based on the Company achieving certain returns over a stated hurdle amount are considered market conditions. The achievement of returns over the stated hurdle amounts, which affect the quantity of awards that vest, is considered a performance condition. If the Company determines it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the value of the award will be amortized over the service periods, as adjusted for forfeitures. The number of awards expected to vest is evaluated each reporting period and compensation expense is recognized for those awards for which achievement of the performance criteria is considered probable. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has determined it is probable that the performance condition will be met for certain awards and has amortized the value of such awards over the applicable service period. None of Blackstone, the Adviser, or the affiliate portfolio company service providers receive any incentive compensation from the aforementioned arrangements.

Other
As of both March 31, 2023 and December��31, 2022, the Adviser had advanced $1.5 million of expenses on the Company’s behalf for general corporate expenses provided by unaffiliated third parties. Such expenses are reimbursed by the Company to the Advisor in the ordinary course.
Affiliate Title Service Provider
Blackstone owns Lexington National Land Services (“LNLS”), a title agent company. LNLS acts as an agent for one or more underwriters in issuing title policies and/or providing support services in connection with investments by the Company, Blackstone and their affiliates and related parties, and third-parties. LNLS focuses on transactions in rate-regulated states where the cost of title insurance is non-negotiable. LNLS will not perform services in non-regulated states for the Company, unless (i) in the context of a portfolio transaction that includes properties in rate-regulated states, (ii) as part of a syndicate of title insurance companies where the rate is negotiated by other insurers or their agents, (iii) when a third-party is paying all or a material portion of the premium or (iv) when providing only support services to the underwriter. LNLS earns fees, which would have otherwise been paid to third parties, by providing title agency services and facilitating placement of title insurance with underwriters. Blackstone receives distributions from LNLS in connection with investments by the Company based on its equity interest in LNLS. In each case, there will be no related expense offset to the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid LNLS $1.2 million for title services related to 19 investments and such costs were either (i) included in calculating net gain on dispositions of real estate on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or (ii) recorded as deferred financing costs, which is a reduction to Mortgage Notes, Secured Term Loans, and Secured Revolving Credit Facilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Captive Insurance Company
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company received a refund of $0.2 million of insurance premiums previously paid to the captive insurance company. The refund was attributable to dispositions of real estate and represented the pro-rata unused period of the annual premiums for such dispositions.
Other
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a receivable of $8.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively, from LivCor and such amount is included in Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

13. Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s investments and financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 - “Derivatives and Hedging." Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other identified risks.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties it believes to have appropriate credit ratings and that are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships.
Interest Rate Contracts
Certain of the Company’s transactions expose the Company to interest rate risks, which include exposure to variable interest rates on certain loans secured by the Company’s real estate in addition to its secured financings of investments in real estate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate swaps and caps, and may also include options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to limit the Company’s exposure to the future variability of interest rates. The Company has the right of offset for certain derivatives, and presents them net on the financial statements.

(1)Includes transfer of shares from Class T and Class D to Class I during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As of January 1, 2023, the Regents of the University of California (“UC Investments”), subscribed for an aggregate 268.9 million Class I shares for a total purchase price of $4.0 billion. The investment was made at the Company’s January 1, 2023 public offering price with fees and terms consistent with existing stockholders. In connection with this investment, a subsidiary of Blackstone entered into a long-term strategic venture with UC Investments.
Blackstone contributed $1.0 billion of its current holdings in the Company as part of the strategic venture, which provides a waterfall structure with UC Investments receiving a 11.25% minimum annualized net return on its investment in the Company (supported by a pledge of Blackstone’s contribution) and upside from its investment. In exchange, Blackstone will be entitled to receive an incremental 5% cash promote payment from UC Investments on any returns received in excess of the specified minimum, in addition to the existing management and incentive fees borne by all holders of Class I shares of the Company. The pledge will also extend to any appreciation and dividends received by Blackstone in respect of the contributed $1.0 billion. After January 2028, the parties have the option to request repurchase of their investments ratably over two years (a minimum average 6-year hold).
On March 1, 2023, UC Investments subscribed for an additional 33.9 million Class I shares for a total purchase price of $500.0 million. This investment was made at the Company’s March 1, 2023 public offering price with fees and terms consistent with existing stockholders. Blackstone contributed an incremental $125.0 million of its current holdings in the Company on the same terms described above.
Share and Unit Repurchases
The Company has adopted a Share Repurchase Plan (the “Repurchase Plan”), which is approved and administered by the Company's board of directors, whereby, subject to certain limitations, stockholders may request on a monthly basis that the Company repurchases all or any portion of their shares. The Repurchase Plan will be limited to no more than 2% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per month (measured using the aggregate NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and no more than 5% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). For the avoidance of doubt, both of these limits are assessed during each month in a calendar quarter. In the event that the Company receives repurchase requests in excess of the 2% or 5% limits, then repurchase requests will be satisfied on a pro rata basis after the Company has repurchased all shares for which repurchase has been requested due to death, disability or divorce and other limited exceptions.
Should repurchase requests, in the board of directors' judgment, place an undue burden on its liquidity, adversely affect its operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should the board of directors otherwise determine that investing its liquid assets in real properties or other investments rather than repurchasing its shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, then the Company may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased (including relative
to the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under the share repurchase plan), or none at all. Further, the Company’s board of directors may make exceptions to, modify, or suspend the Company’s share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations, or repurchase less shares than such repurchase limitations) if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of its stockholders. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase plan, as applicable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 226.5 million shares of common stock and 3.1 million BREIT OP units for a total of $3.4 billion. During the months ended January 31, 2023, February 28, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company received repurchase requests that exceeded the applicable repurchase limits under the Company's share repurchase plan. For the months ended January 31, 2023, February 28, 2023, and March 31, 2023, in accordance with the share repurchase plan, the Company fulfilled repurchases equal to 2.0%, 2.0% and 1.0% of NAV, or 25%, 35% and 15% of repurchase requests, respectively.
Distributions
The Company generally intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP, to its stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
Each class of common stock receives the same gross distribution per share. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor. The following table details the aggregate distributions declared for each applicable class of common stock:

Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
In connection with its performance participation interest, the Special Limited Partner holds Class I units in BREIT OP. See Note 10 for further details of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation interest. Because the Special Limited Partner has the ability to redeem its Class I units for Class I shares in the Company or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner, the Company has classified these Class I units as Redeemable Non-controlling Interest in mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table details the redeemable non-controlling interest activity related to the Special Limited Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 ($ in thousands):

In addition to the Special Limited Partner’s interest noted above, certain of the Company’s third party joint ventures also have a redeemable non-controlling interest in such joint ventures. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $236.5 million and $209.3 million, respectively, related to such third party joint ventures was included in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Redeemable Non-controlling Interests are recorded at the greater of (i) their carrying amount, adjusted for their share of the allocation of GAAP net income (loss) and distributions, or (ii) their redemption value, which is equivalent to the fair value of such interests at the end of each measurement period. Accordingly, the Company recorded an allocation adjustment of $29.0 million and $35.7 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively, between Additional Paid-in Capital and Redeemable Non-controlling Interest.
15. Leases
Lessor
The Company’s rental revenue primarily consists of rent earned from operating leases at the Company’s rental housing, industrial, net lease, data centers, self storage, retail, and office properties. Leases at the Company’s industrial, data centers, retail, and office properties generally include a fixed base rent, and certain leases also contain a variable rent component. The variable component of the Company’s operating leases at its industrial, data centers, retail, and office properties primarily consist of the reimbursement of operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s rental housing properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent, and certain leases contain a variable component that allows for the pass-through of certain operating expenses such as utilities. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s self storage properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent only.
Rental revenue from leases at the Company’s net lease properties consists of a fixed annual rent that escalates annually throughout the term of the applicable leases, and the tenant is generally responsible for all property-related expenses, including taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The Company's net lease properties are leased to a single tenant. The Company assessed the lease classification of the net lease properties and determined the leases were each operating leases. The Company’s assessment included the consideration of the present value of the applicable lease payments over the lease terms and the residual value of the leased assets.
Leases at the Company’s industrial, net lease, data centers, retail, and office properties are generally longer term (greater than 12 months in length), and may contain extension and termination options at the lessee’s election. Often, these leases have annual escalations that are tied to the CPI index. Leases at the Company’s rental housing and self storage properties are short term in nature, generally not greater than 12 months in length.

Overview
Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT,” the “Company,” “we,” ��us,” or “our”) invests primarily in stabilized income-generating commercial real estate in the United States and to a lesser extent, outside the United States. We also, to a lesser extent, invest in real estate debt investments. We are the sole general partner and majority limited partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P. (“BREIT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and we own substantially all of our assets through BREIT OP. We are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”), a leading investment manager. We currently operate our business in nine reportable segments: Rental Housing, Industrial, Net Lease, Data Centers, Hospitality, Self Storage, Retail, and Office Properties, and Investments in Real Estate Debt. Rental Housing includes multifamily and other types of rental housing such as manufactured, student, affordable, and single family rental housing, as well as senior living. Net Lease includes the real estate assets of The Bellagio Las Vegas (the “Bellagio”) and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (the “Cosmopolitan”). Additional unconsolidated interests are included in the respective property segment.
BREIT is a non-listed, perpetual life real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
As of May 12, 2023, we had received net proceeds of $72.4 billion from the sale of 5.7 billion shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering and private offerings. We contributed the net proceeds to BREIT OP in exchange for a corresponding number of Class S, Class I, Class T, Class D and Class C units. BREIT OP has primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate and real estate debt and for other general corporate purposes (including to fund repurchase requests under our share repurchase plan from time to time) as further described below under “Investment Portfolio.” We intend to continue selling shares of our common stock on a monthly basis through our continuous public offering and private offerings.
Recent Developments
The Company’s businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States and to a lesser extent, elsewhere in the world.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, global markets continued to experience significant volatility, driven by concerns over persistent inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth and geopolitical uncertainty. Recent bank failures and consolidations, and other events affecting financial institutions, have also contributed to volatility in global markets and resulted in diminished liquidity and credit availability in the market broadly. Continued global supply chain disruption, rising energy costs and the ongoing and potential future impacts of the war between Russia and Ukraine are also contributing to economic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Continued inflation has prompted central banks to take monetary policy tightening actions, including raising interest rates, which has created further uncertainty for the economy and for our stockholders. Additionally, rising interest rates, increasing costs and supply chain issues may continue to dampen consumer spending and slow corporate profit growth, which may negatively impact equity values. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.

The increase was primarily driven by the impact of acquisitions we made from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023, partially offset by (i) the impact of disposition activity as well as (ii) the full amortization of certain intangible assets.
Income from Unconsolidated Entities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, gain from unconsolidated entities increased $260.4 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a gain of $430.4 million from the sale of MGM Grand & Mandalay Bay. This was partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of unconsolidated entities of $143.6 million.
Income (Loss) from Investments in Real Estate Debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, income from our investments in real estate debt increased $171.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $187.7 million in net unrealized gains on investments in real estate debt and an increase of $99.9 million in interest income due to an increased portfolio size of our investments in real estate debt and an increase in floating rates. This was partially offset by an increase of $109.4 million of net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps and other hedges related to our investments in real estate debt.
Change in Net Assets of Consolidated Securitization Vehicles
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles increased $44.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $30.1 million in unrealized gains and an increase in $14.8 million in interest income due to an increase in floating rates on our net investments in these securitization vehicles.
(Loss) Income from Interest Rate Derivatives
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, (loss) income from interest rate derivatives increased $1.3 billion compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had unrealized loss on derivatives of $0.6 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had unrealized gain of $0.6 billion.
Net Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net gain on dispositions of real estate decreased $84.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded $121.0 million of net gains from the disposition of 42 rental housing properties, 185 single family rental homes, five hospitality properties, four industrial properties, and one retail property. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $205.3 million of net gain from the dispositions of seven rental housing properties, 123 single family rental homes, and nine industrial properties.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest expense increased $453.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio and investments in real estate debt and the related financing of such investments, as well as an increase in floating rates.
Other Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, other expense decreased $75.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $121.7 million of net unrealized/realized losses on our investments in equity securities. This was partially offset by a decrease of $22.7 million of dividend income and increases of $10.1 million of forfeited investment deposits and $13.3 million of other miscellaneous expenses.
Same Property Results of Operations
Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our property operating results that we believe is meaningful because it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) impairment of investments in real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) straight-line rental income and expense, (iv) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (v) lease termination fees, (vi) property expenses not core to the operations of such properties, and (vii) other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee, (c) performance participation allocation, (d) incentive compensation awards, (e) income (loss) from investments in real estate debt, (f) change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles, (g) income from interest rate derivatives, (h) net gain (loss) on dispositions of real estate, (i) interest expense, (j) gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, (k) other income (expense), and (l) similar adjustments for NOI attributable to non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered non-same property. Recently developed properties are not included in same property results until the properties have achieved stabilization for both full periods presented. We define stabilization for the property as the earlier of (i) achieving 90% occupancy or (ii) 12 months after receiving a certificate of occupancy. Properties held-for-sale, properties that are being redeveloped, and interests in unconsolidated entities under contract for sale with hard deposit or other factors ensuring the buyer’s performance are excluded from same property results and are considered non-same property. We do not consider our investments in the real estate debt segment or equity securities to be same property.
Same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the acquisition, disposition, development, or redevelopment of properties during the periods presented, and therefore we believe it provides a meaningful performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of our properties, which we believe is useful to investors. Our same property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than our GAAP net income (loss).
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, our same property portfolio consisted of 893 rental housing, 1,535 industrial, one net lease, 16 data center, 59 hotel, 171 self storage, 32 retail, and six office properties.

Same Property – Rental Revenue
Same property rental revenue increased $84.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to a $72.9 million increase in base rental revenue and a $12.9 million increase in tenant reimbursement income. This was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in our bad debt reserve. Our bad debt reserve represents the amount of rental revenue we anticipate we will not be able to collect from our tenants.

Same Property – Hospitality Revenue
Same property hospitality revenue increased $38.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. ADR for the hotels in our same property portfolio increased from $186 to $202, while occupancy increased 14% and RevPAR increased from $118 to $146 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to three months ended March 31, 2022.
Same Property – Other Revenue
Same property other revenue increased $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased ancillary income at our rental housing and industrial properties during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Same Property – Rental Property Operating Expenses
Same property rental property operating expenses increased $32.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in rental property operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily the result of increased real estate taxes and general operating expenses at our rental housing properties.
Same Property – Hospitality Operating Expenses
Same property hospitality operating expenses increased $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in hospitality operating expenses was primarily the result of increased operating expenses resulting from increased occupancy at our hotels during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Non-same Property NOI
Due to our substantial fundraising in 2022 and deployment of the net proceeds raised into new property acquisitions, non-same property NOI is not comparable period-over-period.
Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution
We believe funds from operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented using historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments to be calculated on a straight-line basis. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments have decreased over time. However, we believe that the value of our real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and, as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative as a measure of our performance. FFO is an operating measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) that is broadly used in the REIT industry. FFO, as defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) impairment of investments in real estate, (iii) net gains or losses from sales of real estate, (iv) net gains or losses from change in control, and (v) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We also believe that adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. AFFO further adjusts FFO to reflect the performance of our portfolio by adjusting for items we believe are not directly attributable to our operations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive at AFFO include removing the impact of (i) straight-line rental income and expense, (ii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (iii) amortization of mortgage premium/discount, (iv) organization costs, (v) unrealized (gains) losses from changes in fair value of financial instruments, (vi) net forfeited investment deposits, (vii) amortization of restricted stock awards, (viii) the performance participation allocation to our Special Limited Partner or other incentive compensation awards that are based on our Net Asset Value, which includes unrealized gains and losses not recorded in GAAP net income (loss), and that are paid in shares or BREIT OP units, even if subsequently repurchased by us, (ix) severance costs, (x) gain or loss on involuntary conversion, (xi) amortization of deferred financing costs, (xii) losses (gains) on extinguishment of debt, and (xiii) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We also believe that funds available for distribution (“FAD”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. FAD provides useful information for considering our operating results and certain other items relative to the amount of our distributions. Further, FAD is a metric, among others, that is considered by our board of directors and executive officers when determining the amount of our dividend to stockholders, and we believe is therefore meaningful to stockholders. FAD is calculated as AFFO adjusted for (i) management fees paid in shares or BREIT OP units, even if subsequently repurchased by us, (ii) realized losses (gains) on financial instruments, (iii) recurring tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and other capital expenditures, (iv) stockholder servicing fees paid during the period, and (v) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities. FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs and does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, as FAD is adjusted for stockholder servicing fees and recurring tenant improvements, leasing commission, and other capital expenditures, which are not considered when determining cash flows from operations. Furthermore, FAD excludes (i) adjustments for working capital items and (ii) amortization of discounts and premiums on investments in real estate debt. Cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP would generally be adjusted for such items.
FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered more relevant or accurate than GAAP net income (loss) in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indications of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO, AFFO, and FAD are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our methodology for calculating AFFO and FAD may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported AFFO and FAD may not be comparable to the AFFO and FAD reported by other companies.

(1)Unrealized (gains) losses from changes in fair value of financial instruments primarily relates to mark-to-market changes on our investments in real estate debt, change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles, investments in equity securities, and derivatives. Realized (gains) losses on financial instruments primarily results from the sale of our investments in real estate debt, equity securities, and derivatives.
(2)Recurring tenant improvements and leasing commissions are generally related to second-generation leases and other capital expenditures required to maintain our investments. Other capital expenditures exclude projects that we believe will enhance the value of our investments.

(1)Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class T and Class D shares. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has accrued under GAAP $1.2 billion of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class S, Class T and Class D shares sold. The Dealer Manager does not retain any of these fees, all of which are retained by, or re-allowed (paid), to participating broker-dealers.

In addition, the valuations for our two largest sectors (rental housing and industrial) assume high single-digit net operating income growth in 2023 given our below market rents and short duration leases. A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our property investments. For example, assuming all else equal, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our investment values:

NAV | $ | 69,741,528 | |
The following details the adjustments to reconcile GAAP stockholders’ equity and total partners’ capital of BREIT OP to our NAV:
–Accrued stockholder servicing fees represent the accrual for the cost of the stockholder servicing fees for Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the stockholder servicing fees payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum stockholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the GAAP treatment regarding the stockholder servicing fees. For purposes of calculating NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fees as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis when such fees are paid.
–Under GAAP, the affiliate incentive compensation awards are valued as of grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis with an offset to equity, resulting in no impact to Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of calculating NAV, we value the awards based on performance in the applicable period and deduct such value from NAV.
–We depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of calculating our NAV.
–Our investments in real estate are presented at their depreciated cost basis in our GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our mortgage notes, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and repurchase agreements (collectively, “Debt”) are presented at their amortized cost basis in our condensed consolidated GAAP financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our investments in real estate or our Debt are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of calculating our NAV, our investments in real estate and our Debt are recorded at fair value.
Distributions
Beginning in March 2017, we have declared monthly distributions for each class of our common stock, which are generally paid 20 days after month-end. We have paid distributions consecutively each month since that time. Each class of our common stock received the same aggregate gross distribution of $0.1663 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor. The table below details the net distribution for each of our share classes for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We believe we have sufficient liquidity to operate our business, with $10.4 billion of liquidity as of May 11, 2023. When we refer to our liquidity, this includes amounts available under our undrawn revolving credit facilities of $9.4 billion as well as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion. We also generate incremental liquidity through our operating cash flows, which were $0.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, we remain moderately leveraged (45% as of March 31, 2023) and can generate additional liquidity through additional indebtedness secured by our real estate and real estate debt investments, unsecured financings, and other forms of indebtedness. We may also generate incremental liquidity through the sale of our real estate debt investments, which were carried at their estimated fair value of $9.6 billion as of March 31, 2023. Our leverage ratio is measured by dividing (i) consolidated property-level and entity-level debt net of cash and debt-related restricted cash, by (ii) the asset value of real estate investments (measured using the greater of fair market value and cost) plus the equity in our settled real estate debt investments. Indebtedness incurred (i) in connection with funding a deposit in advance of the closing of an investment or (ii) as other working capital advances will not be included as part of the calculation above. Our leverage ratio would be higher if the indebtedness on our real estate debt investments and pro rata share of debt within our unconsolidated investments were taken into account.
In addition to our current liquidity, we obtain incremental liquidity through the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering and private offerings, from which we have received net proceeds of $72.4 billion as of May 11, 2023.
Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, our indebtedness included loans secured by our properties, master repurchase agreements and other financing agreements secured by our investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities and term loans.

(1)“+” refers to the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include one-month LIBOR, three-month LIBOR, 30-day SOFR, one-month CDOR, EURIBOR, and SONIA as applicable to each loan or secured financing. As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional balance of $32.2 billion and interest rate caps with an aggregate notional balance of $15.3 billion that mitigate our exposure to potential future interest rate increased under our floating-rate debt.
(2)Weighted average maturity assumes maximum maturity date, including any extensions, where the Company, at its sole discretion, has one or more extension options.
(3)Includes $357.3 million and $364.5 million of loans related to investments in affordable housing properties as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Such loans are generally from municipalities, housing authorities, and other third parties administered through government sponsored affordable housing programs. Certain of these loans may be forgiven if specific affordable housing conditions are maintained.
(4)Additional borrowings under the Company's variable rate secured revolving credit facilities are immediately available.
(5)Additional borrowings under the Company's variable rate warehouse facilities require additional collateral, which are subject to lender approval.
The table above excludes consolidated senior CMBS positions owned by third-parties, which are reflected in our condensed consolidated GAAP balance sheets, as these liabilities are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied by repayment of the collateral loans underlying such securitizations.

We registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), an offering of up to $60.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $48.0 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $12.0 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, which we began using to offer shares of our common stock in March 2022 (the “Current Offering”).
As of May 12, 2023, we have received net proceeds of $11.7 billion from selling an aggregate of 790.3 million shares of our common stock in the Current Offering, including shares converted from operating partnership units by the Special Limited Partner (consisting of 291.4 million Class S shares, 366.0 million Class I shares, 16.3 million Class T shares, and 116.6 million Class D shares).
Capital Uses
During periods when we are selling more shares than we are repurchasing, we primarily use our capital to acquire our investments, which we also fund with other capital resources. During periods when we are repurchasing more shares than we are selling, we primarily use our capital to fund repurchases. In the first quarter of 2023, we received repurchase requests that exceeded the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under our share repurchase plan. Therefore, as a result of the aforementioned monthly and quarterly limits, our board of directors exercised its discretion to repurchase less than the full amount of shares requested in January 2023, February 2023 and March 2023. We continue to believe that our current liquidity position is sufficient to meet the needs of our business.
In addition, we may have other funding obligations, which we expect to satisfy with the cash flows generated from our investments and our capital resources described above. Such obligations may include distributions to our stockholders, operating expenses, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, and debt service on our outstanding indebtedness. Our operating expenses include, among other things, the management fee we pay to the Adviser and the performance participation allocation that BREIT OP pays to the Special Limited Partner, both of which will impact our liquidity to the extent the Adviser or the Special Limited Partner elects to receive such payments in cash, or subsequently redeem shares or OP units previously issued to them. To date, the Adviser and the Special Limited Partner have both always elected to be paid in a combination of Class I and Class B units, resulting in a non-cash expense.
Cash Flows
The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash ($ in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2023 | | 2022 | | | | |
Cash flows provided by operating activities | | $ | 565,847 | | | $ | 622,823 | | | | | |
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities | | 1,778,970 | | | (2,979,802) | | | | | |
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities | | (1,410,742) | | | 5,544,561 | | | | | |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | 934,075 | | | $ | 3,187,582 | | | | | |
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $57.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to increased cash flows from the operations of our investments in real estate and income on our investments in real estate debt.
Cash flows from investing activities increased $4.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a net decrease of $2.0 billion in acquisitions of real estate, an increase of $1.2 billion in return of capital from unconsolidated entities, a net decrease of $1.2 billion related to investments in real estate debt securities, an decrease of $0.4 billion in investment in unconsolidated entities and an increase of $0.2 billion in proceeds from disposition of real estate. This was partially offset by a net decrease of $0.4 billion in proceeds from repayments of real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles.
Cash flows from financing activities decreased $7.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a net increase of $2.7 billion in repayments, an increase of $1.9 billion in repurchases of common stock, a decrease of $1.7 billion in subscriptions received in advance, a decrease of $1.0 billion in proceeds from issuance of common stock and an increase of $0.1 billion in distributions. This was partially offset by a net decrease of $0.4 billion in repayments of senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles.

(1)The allocation of our indebtedness includes both principal and interest payments based on the fully extended maturity date and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2023. The table above excludes consolidated senior CMBS positions owned by third-parties, as these liabilities are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied by repayment of the collateral loans underlying such securitizations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate indebtedness such that an increase in interest rates would result in higher interest expense. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing a mix of fixed and floating rate financings with staggered maturities, and through interest rate hedging agreements to fix or cap a majority of our variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of our variable rate indebtedness was $43.7 billion and consisted of mortgage notes, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and secured financings on investments in real estate debt.
Certain of our mortgage notes, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and secured financings are variable rate and indexed to one-month U.S. Dollar denominated LIBOR, three-month Euro denominated LIBOR, one-month CAD denominated LIBOR, three-month CAD denominated LIBOR, 30-day SOFR, or SONIA (collectively, the “Reference Rates”). We have executed interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $32.2 billion and interest rate caps with an aggregate notional balance of $15.3 billion as of March 31, 2023 to hedge the risk of increasing interest rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 10% increase in each of the Reference Rates would have resulted in increased interest expense of $0.8 million, net of the impact of our interest rate swaps and caps.
LIBOR and certain other floating rate benchmark indices to which our floating rate debt and other agreements are tied, including, without limitation, EURIBOR and CDOR, or collectively, IBORs, are the subject of recent national, international and regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. As of December 31, 2021, the IBA, ceased publication of all non-USD LIBOR and the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR and, as and previously announced, intends to cease publication of remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Further, on March 15, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, which includes the LIBOR Act, was signed into law in the United States. This legislation establishes a uniform benchmark replacement process for financial contracts maturing after June 30, 2023 that do not contain clearly defined or practicable fallback provisions. The legislation also creates a safe harbor that shields lenders from litigation if they choose to utilize a replacement rate recommended by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee composed of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified SOFR a new index calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR. As of March 31, 2023, the one-month SOFR was 4.8% and one-month USD LIBOR was 4.9%. Additionally, market participants have transitioned from GBP LIBOR to the Sterling Overnight Index Average, or SONIA, in line with guidance from the U.K. regulators.
At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR, SONIA, or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from USD LIBOR and GBP LIBOR proceeds. Despite the LIBOR transition in other markets, benchmark rate methodologies in Europe and Canada have been reformed and rates such as EURIBOR and CDOR may persist as International Organization of Securities Commissions, or IOSCO, compliant reference rates moving forward. However, multi-rate environments may persist in these markets as regulators and working groups have suggested market participants adopt alternative reference rates.
Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Debt Financing — We may be adversely affected by the phasing out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Investments in Real Estate Debt
As of March 31, 2023, we held $9.6 billion of investments in real estate debt, which amount excludes the impact of consolidating the underlying loans that serve as collateral for certain securitizations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our investments in real estate debt are primarily floating-rate and indexed to the Reference Rates, and as such, exposed to interest rate risk. Our net income will increase or decrease depending on interest rate movements. While we cannot predict factors that may or may not affect interest rates, a 10% increase or decrease in the Reference Rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease to income from investments in real estate debt of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, net of the impact of our interest rate swaps.
We may also be exposed to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate debt due to changes in the fair value of our investments. We seek to manage our exposure to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate debt by making investments in real estate debt backed by different types of collateral and varying credit ratings. The fair value of our investments may fluctuate, therefore the amount we will realize upon any sale of our investments in real estate debt is unknown. However, as of March 31, 2023, a 10% change in the fair value of our investments in real estate debt would result in a change in the carrying value of our investments in real estate debt of $1.0 billion.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms and (b) included, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2023, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated April 18, 2023, as supplemented.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. As described in Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Adviser is entitled to an annual management fee payable monthly in cash, shares of common stock, or BREIT OP Units, in each case at the Adviser's election. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Adviser elected to receive its management fee in Class I shares, and we issued 10.0 million unregistered Class I shares to the Adviser in satisfaction of the management fee for January and February 2023. Additionally, we issued 5.0 million unregistered Class I shares to the Adviser in April 2023 in satisfaction of the March 2023 management fee.
We have also sold Class I and Class C shares to feeder vehicles created primarily to hold Class I and Class C shares and offer indirect interests in such shares to non-U.S. persons. The offer and sale of Class I and Class C shares to the feeder vehicles was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation S thereunder. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received $0.1 billion from selling 9.6 million unregistered Class I and Class C shares to such vehicles. We intend to use the net proceeds from such sales for the purposes set forth in the prospectus for our offering and in a manner within the investment guidelines approved by our board of directors, who serve as fiduciaries to our stockholders.
Share Repurchases
Under our share repurchase plan, to the extent we choose to repurchase shares in any particular month, we will only repurchase shares as of the opening of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Repurchase Date”). Repurchases will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Repurchase Date (which will generally be equal to our prior month’s NAV per share), except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of the transaction price (the “Early Repurchase Deduction”) subject to certain limited exceptions. Settlements of share repurchases will generally be made within three business days of the Repurchase Date. The Early Repurchase Deduction will not apply to shares acquired through our distribution reinvestment plan.
The aggregate NAV of total repurchases of Class S shares, Class I shares, Class T shares, Class D shares and Class C shares (including repurchases at certain non-U.S. investor access funds primarily created to hold shares of the Company, but excluding any Early Repurchase Deduction applicable to the repurchased shares) is limited to no more than 2% of our aggregate NAV per month based on the aggregate NAV of the prior month and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter based on the average of the aggregate NAV per month over the prior three months. For the avoidance of doubt, both of these limits are assessed during each month in a calendar quarter. In the first quarter of 2023, we received repurchase requests that exceeded the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under our share repurchase plan. Therefore, as a result of the aforementioned monthly and quarterly limits, our board of directors exercised its discretion to repurchase less than the full amount of shares requested in January 2023, February 2023 and March 2023.
Should repurchase requests, in our board of directors' judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should our board of directors otherwise determines that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, then we may choose to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased (including relative to the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under our share repurchase plan), or none at all. Further, our board of directors will in certain circumstances, make exceptions to, modify and suspend our share repurchase plan (including to make exceptions to the repurchase limitations, or repurchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations) if it deems such action to be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. In the event that our board of directors determines to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase plan, as applicable.
If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no repurchase requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased the following month must resubmit their repurchase requests.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased shares of our common stock in the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(2)For the months ended January 31, 2023, February 28, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company received repurchase requests that exceeded both its monthly 2% of NAV and quarterly 5% of NAV limit. In accordance with the Company's share repurchase plan, the Company fulfilled 25% of requested repurchases in January 2023, 35% of requested repurchases in February 2023, and 15% of requested repurchases in March 2023.
The Special Limited Partner continues to hold 24,057 Class I units in BREIT OP. The redemption of Class I units and Class B units and shares held by the Adviser acquired as payment of the Adviser’s management fee are not subject to our share repurchase plan.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Articles of Amendment, Articles Supplementary, Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement
On May 12, 2023, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to its charter with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (“SDAT”) to increase (i) the number of shares of capital stock that the Company has authority to issue to 12,100,000,000, (ii) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that the Company has authority to issue to 12,000,000,000 and (iii) the number of shares of the Company’s Class D common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that the Company has authority to issue to 1,500,000,000. Immediately following the filing of the Articles of Amendment, the Company filed with SDAT Articles Supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary” and, together with the Articles of Amendment, the “Charter Amendments”) to its charter, pursuant to which the Company classified and designated 500,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Class F common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class F shares”). The Company will not pay the Adviser a management fee with respect to the Class F shares or Class F units (as defined below), and the Operating Partnership will not pay a performance allocation with respect to the Class F units. Except as described in this report, the Charter Amendments did not amend, alter or modify any other terms or provisions of the Company’s charter.
On May 12, 2023, the Company entered into (i) a Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) among the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Adviser to make certain updates reflecting the designation of the Class F shares and (ii) a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “A&R OP Agreement”) for the Operating Partnership by and among the Company, the Special Limited Partner and the limited partners party thereto, to make certain updates reflecting the designation of the Class F units of the Operating Partnership (“Class F units”). Pursuant to the A&R Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will continue to manage the Company’s day-to-day operations subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Company. The A&R OP Agreement provides that, so long as the advisory agreement with the Company has not been terminated, the Special Limited Partner holds a performance participation interest in the Operating Partnership that entitles it to receive an allocation from the Operating Partnership equal to 12.5% of the Total Return, subject to a 5% Hurdle Amount and a High Water Mark, with a Catch-Up (each term as defined in the A&R OP Agreement).
The foregoing description of each of the Articles of Amendment, the Articles Supplementary, the A&R Advisory Agreement and the A&R OP Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment, the Articles Supplementary, the A&R Advisory Agreement and the A&R OP Agreement, respectively, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.2, 3.3, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Share Repurchase Plan and Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Effective May 12, 2023, the Board of Directors amended (i) the Company’s share repurchase plan (the “Share Repurchase Plan”) and (ii) the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), in each case, to make certain updates reflecting the designation of the Class F shares. The foregoing description of each of the Share Repurchase Plan and the DRP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Repurchase Plan and the DRP, copies of which are included as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
