Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Belpointe PREP, LLC filed an amended report describing new debt financing for its Aster & Links property at 1991 Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. Through majority-owned subsidiaries, the company entered into a variable-rate mortgage and mezzanine loan facility for up to approximately $204.14 million, with about $172.83 million funded at closing.

About $165.76 million of the initial advance was used to repay existing construction and mezzanine loans, with remaining and future advances available for leasing costs, capital expenditures, up to $9 million in Earnouts, and up to $9 million in Approved Debt Service and Carry Expenses. The loans are interest-only, priced at Term SOFR with a 3.25% floor plus a blended 2.55%, initially maturing on October 11, 2027, with two one-year extension options subject to lender approval.

The debt is secured by a first-priority mortgage on Aster & Links and a pledge of the borrower entity interests. Belpointe PREP guarantees certain obligations, including maintaining specified net worth and liquid asset levels, and has put in place a $204.14 million interest rate cap at a 6.0% Term SOFR strike through October 15, 2027.

Insights

Belpointe replaces prior construction debt with a large, interest-only floating-rate mortgage and mezzanine package tied to its Aster & Links project.

The company’s subsidiaries obtained variable-rate mortgage and mezzanine loans totaling up to $204.14 million, with an initial advance of about $172.83 million. Roughly $165.76 million retired existing Bank OZK and Southern Realty Trust Holdings loans, shifting the capital structure to this new facility.

The loans carry interest based on Term SOFR with a 3.25% floor plus a blended 2.55% margin, with interest-only payments and an initial maturity of October 11, 2027, plus two one-year extensions at the lender’s discretion. An interest rate cap with a notional of about $204.14 million and a 6.0% Term SOFR strike through October 15, 2027 limits base-rate exposure over most of the initial term.

Belpointe PREP guarantees certain borrower obligations and must maintain specified net worth and liquid asset levels during the loans. Remaining and future advances can fund leasing of non-residential space at Aster & Links, capital expenditures, up to $9 million of Earnouts, and up to $9 million of Approved Debt Service and Carry Expenses, tying deployment closely to the property’s stabilization.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to Belpointe PREP, LLC’s (together with its subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2025 (the “Initial Report”), is being filed to amend, restate and supplement the disclosures set forth in the Initial Report, and supersedes and replaces the content of the Initial Report in its entirety.

 

 

 

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 29, 2025, we, through our indirect majority-owned subsidiaries, BPOZ 1991 Main, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BPOZ 1991 Main”), and BP Mezz 1991 Main, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and holding company for BPOZ 1991 Main (“BP Mezz 1991 Main” and, together with BPOZ 1991 Main, the “Borrowers”), entered into a variable-rate mortgage loan agreement (the “1991 Main Mortgage Loan Agreement”) and variable-rate mezzanine loan agreement (the “1991 Main Mezzanine Loan Agreement” and, together with the 1991 Main Mortgage Loan Agreement, and all other agreements and instruments executed by the Borrowers or the Company in connection therewith, the “Loan Agreements”) with SM Finance III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”), for up to approximately $204.14 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Loans”), of which a total of approximately $172.83 million was advanced at the closing (the “Initial Advance”). The Loans bear interest at a fluctuating rate based on: (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the Loan Agreements), subject to a 3.25% floor, plus (ii) a blended rate of 2.55%, require interest-only monthly payments during their term, and initially mature on October 11, 2027, with two one-year extensions (each, an “Extension”) exercisable at the Borrowers’ election, but subject to Lender approval based on certain terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreements.

 

We used approximately $165.76 million of the proceeds from the Initial Advance to extinguish our existing variable-rate construction loan with Bank OZK and mezzanine loan with Southern Realty Trust Holdings, LLC. The remaining proceeds from the Initial Advance and any proceeds from additional advances may be used to fund expenses that we incur or advance in connection with leasing the non-residential space at 1991 Main Street, Sarasota, Florida (“Aster & Links”), as well as for certain capital expenditures, and, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreements, to fund up to an aggregate of $9 million in Earnouts, and up to an aggregate of $9 million in Approved Debt Service and Carry Expenses (each as defined in the Loan Agreements).

 

The Loans are secured by a first-priority mortgage on Aster & Links by BPOZ 1991 Main in favor of the Lender, and a pledge by BP Mezz 1991 Main of all of its rights, title and interest in BPOZ 1991 Main to the Lender. In addition, we have entered into a series of guaranty agreements (the “Guaranty Agreements”) in favor of the Lender, whereby the Company, as guarantor, has guaranteed payment and performance of certain of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreements. The Guaranty Agreements also require, among other things, that we maintain certain net worth and liquid asset standards during the term of the Loans.

 

In connection with the Loans, the Borrowers entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “Interest Rate Cap”) with a notational amount of approximately $204.14 million and Term SOFR strike rate equal to 6.0% per annum, which Interest Rate Cap has been assigned to the Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loans Agreements. The Interest Rate Cap will continue through October 15, 2027, and, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, must either be extended or the Borrowers must enter into a new interest rate cap agreement that extends through the date of any Extensions granted by the Lender.

 

The Loan Agreements contain customary events of default, and corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, bankruptcy-related defaults, defaults caused by the Borrowers failure to perform certain of their obligations under the Loan Agreements or by the Borrowers’ breach of their representations and warranties in the Loan Agreements. The Loan Agreements also contain customary financial, leasing and environmental covenants, cash management requirements, requirements regarding the management and maintenance of Aster & Links and maintenance of insurance on Aster & Links, transfer and assumption restrictions and limitations on the incurrence of debt and granting of liens.

 

In addition, the Loan Agreements provide the Lender with the right to sell or transfer the Loans, sell participation interests in the Loans or to securitize the Loans, and provide that the Borrowers will cooperate and assist the Lender in connection with any of the foregoing transactions, including by providing updated financial and other information for inclusion in any offering documents associated with such transactions.

 

The foregoing description of the Loans Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements, copies of which we expect to file as exhibits to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
