Transaction summary
•
Purchased in limited competition from a liquidating
private equity fund at a discount to NAV
• Controlling class positions
•
Collateral primarily consists of loans, CMBS and CRE
CDOs
Investment thesis
• Utilize controlling position to exercise auction call
and liquidate assets at a premium to purchase price
Potential upside due to preferred share holders' right
to make the final bid on all underlying asset sales
during auction calls
•
•
• Capitalize on controlling class position to uniquely
access underlying assets that PIMCO believes are
priced at a discount to fundamental value
•
Status update
In July 2015 the fund purchased a 300 key hotel out
of the CDO which was previously foreclosed on by
the CDO servicer
Optimization of revenue management has led to
significant NOI growth
• In December 2015 the fund acquired a senior note
collateralized by two hotels
•
Effectuated auction in May 2016
Substantially de-levered the structure
Retained mezzanine and preferred equity tranches which
PIMCO believes could provide additional upside through
active asset management of underlying assets

IRR represents the annualized internal rate of return for a specified period, based on capital contributed, expected distributions received and the residual value of unrealized investments. Multiple
represents the ratio of (i) expected distributions received plus the residual value of unrealized investments to (ii) capital contributed. IRRS and multiples are net of deal-related expenses and gross of fund
expenses. IRRs and multiples reflect PIMCO's views at the time of investment, and may no longer be accurate or reflect PIMCO's current views. Expected holding period and deal size / peak equity are
subject to change. Underwritten IRR / multiple as of initial closing date. Current estimates of future returns may differ materially from the Underwritten IRR.
