Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 15, 2025, FS CREIT Finance JP-1 LLC (“JP-1”), an indirect wholly owned special-purpose financing subsidiary of FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“FS CREIT”), entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement,” and together with the related transaction documents, the “JP-1 Facility”), as seller, with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association, as buyer (the “Buyer”), to finance the acquisition and origination of certain assets which include performing senior commercial or multifamily mortgage loans, A-notes related to performing senior commercial or multifamily mortgage loans, participation interests in performing senior commercial or multifamily mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, and REO mortgage loans (the “Eligible Assets”).

 

The maximum amount of financing available under the JP-1 Facility is up to $612,312,452.79.

 

All assets pledged to the JP-1 Facility are required to be repurchased no later than October 15, 2030, or such earlier date based on the maturity date of the related asset, and subject to certain terms set forth in the transaction documents.

 

In connection with the Repurchase Agreement, FS CREIT entered into a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which FS CREIT guarantees the prompt and complete payment and performance of the guaranteed obligations when due under the JP-1 Facility, subject to limitations specified therein. The Guaranty may become full recourse to FS CREIT upon the occurrence of certain events, including the commencement of certain bankruptcy actions with respect to FS CREIT or JP-1.

 

The Repurchase Agreement and Guaranty contain representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of their type. In addition, FS CREIT is required (i) to maintain its adjusted tangible net worth at an amount not less than 75% of the net cash proceeds of any equity issuance by FS CREIT minus 75% of the amounts expended for equity redemptions or repurchases by FS CREIT; (ii) to maintain an EBITDA to interest expense ratio not less than 1.40 to 1.00; (iii) to maintain a total indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio that does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00; and (iv) to maintain minimum liquidity at not less than the greater of (x) $15,000,000 and (y) 5% of the aggregate amount outstanding under the JP-1 Facility.

 

Each transaction under the Facility to finance Eligible Assets will accrete price differential based on individual advance rates relative to the outstanding principal amount of such Eligible Asset at a fixed spread over Term SOFR, but will each otherwise have other specific terms. In addition, any term of the JP-1 Facility or the Guaranty may be amended in connection with any transaction.

 

The material terms of the agreements described above are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
