On November 21, 2024, Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of December 1, 2024 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Depositor, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, KeyBank National Association, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, of BANK5 2024-5YR12, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2024-5YR12 (the “Certificates”). An executed version of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement was included as Exhibit 4.1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity on November 25, 2024 (SEC Accession No. 0001539497-24-002505).
The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in BANK5 2024-5YR12 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed on December 11, 2024 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets are twenty-seven (27) fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on one hundred forty-seven (147) commercial and/or multifamily properties (the “Mortgaged Properties”).
The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as “Queens Center”, which is an asset of the Trust, is part of a whole loan (the “Queens Center Whole Loan”) that includes the Queens Center Mortgage Loan and twenty-four other loans that are pari passu to the Queens Center Mortgage Loan (the “Queens Center Pari Passu Companion Loans”). The Queens Center Pari Passu Companion Loans are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Queens Center Whole Loan, including the Queens Center Mortgage Loan, is to be serviced and administered (i) until the securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1, under the BANK5 2024-5YR11 PSA, and (ii) from and after the securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization. The securitization of the related pari passu note A-1-1 occurred on December 19, 2024, and accordingly as of such date, the Queens Center Whole Loan, including the Queens Center Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to (i) a pooling and servicing agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is dated as of December 1, 2024, among Barclays Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer (the “BBCMS 2024-5C31 PSA”), and (ii) the related Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as to which an executed version was included as Exhibit 4.6 to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity on November 25, 2024 (SEC Accession No. 0001539497-24-002505).
The terms and conditions of the BBCMS 2024-5C31 PSA applicable to the servicing of the Queens Center Mortgage Loan (including without limitation regarding the special servicing of the mortgage loans held by the Issuing Entity and the special servicer's duties regarding such mortgage loans, including limitations on the special servicer's liability under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and terms regarding the special servicer’s removal, replacement, resignation or transfer) are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as described in the Prospectus (SEC File Number 333-261279-06) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 25, 2024 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) (the “Prospectus”) in the section captioned “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”. However, the servicing arrangements will differ in certain respects, as described below and
in the Prospectus in the section captioned “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.
| · | The Non-Serviced Master Servicer under the BBCMS 2024-5C31 PSA earns a primary servicing fee with respect to the Queens Center Mortgage Loan that is to be calculated at 0.00125% per annum. |
| · | Upon the Queens Center Whole Loan becoming a specially serviced loan under the BBCMS 2024-5C31 PSA, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will earn a special servicing fee payable monthly with respect to the Queens Center Whole Loan accruing at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum. Such special servicing fee is subject to a monthly floor of $5,000. |
| · | In connection with a workout of the Queens Center Whole Loan, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to a workout fee equal to 0.50% of each payment of principal and interest (other than penalty charges) made by the related borrower on a corrected Whole Loan for so long as it remains a corrected Whole Loan. Such workout fee is subject to a floor of $25,000 and a cap of $1,000,000 with respect to any particular workout of the Queens Center Whole Loan. |
| · | The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to a liquidation fee of 0.50% of the related payments or proceeds received in connection with the liquidation of the Queens Center Whole Loan or related REO Property. Such liquidation fee is subject to a floor of $25,000 and a cap of $1,000,000 with respect to the Queens Center Whole Loan. |
