The notes offered in the term debt securitization (the "Notes") are structured as follows:

The Company will retain all of the Class C-2 Notes, Class D Notes and Subordinated Notes through a consolidated subsidiary. The reinvestment period for the term debt securitization ends in January 2023 and the Notes are scheduled to mature in January 2031.  The term debt securitization is expected to be 75% - 90% funded at close with assets that currently secure the Company's $300.0 million revolving credit facility with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. as lender (the "MS Credit Facility") and with other assets from the Company's balance sheet.

The other material terms of the Credit Facility were unchanged. The Company expects to use the increase in borrowing capacity to acquire additional assets prior to the closing date of $602.4 million term debt securitization which is expected to close on or prior to November 16, 2018. In connection with the closing of the term debt securitization, the Company expects that the MS Credit Facility will repaid in full and that the agreements governing the MS Credit Facility will be terminated.
