[8-K] TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. Reports Material Event
TPG RE Finance Trust, Inc. (TRTX) entered into a new commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation, TRTX 2025-FL7, through Cayman and U.S. issuing subsidiaries. The FL7 Issuers sold multiple classes of notes and issued 78,375 preferred shares with a $1,000 per share liquidation preference to an indirect TRTX subsidiary for risk retention.
Proceeds finance a pool of commercial real estate loans and participations, repay warehouse and other pre-closing financing, fund reserves, and support two delayed collateral interests. The FL7 cut-off date collateral interests represented about 30.2% of TRTX’s loan investment portfolio and had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,100 million as of mid-October 2025.
The FL7 Offered Notes are limited-recourse and secured primarily by the CLO collateral, with monthly interest beginning in December 2025 and stated maturity in June 2043. A 30‑month reinvestment period permits adding qualifying collateral. Note protection tests based on par value and interest coverage (set at 112.64% and 120.00% thresholds) can redirect cash flow to pay down senior notes. TRTX’s external manager serves as collateral manager and waives a 0.1% annual collateral management fee while it remains the company’s external manager.
