Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Fund Announcement
Blackstone on 1st Dec 2022 – Since formation nearly six years ago, BREIT’s Share Repurchase Plan (the “Repurchase Plan”) has allowed for repurchases up to 2% of net asset value (“NAV”) in any month and 5% of NAV in a calendar quarter, subject to BREIT’s majority independent Board of Directors’ broad repurchase discretion.1 This structure was designed both to prevent a liquidity mismatch and maximize long- term shareholder value.
BREIT received repurchase requests equal to 2.7% of NAV in October, or approximately $1.8 billion, and received approval from its majority independent Board of Directors to fulfill 100% of repurchase requests.2 BREIT has now received repurchase requests exceeding both the 2% of NAV monthly limit and 5% of NAV quarterly limit, triggering proration for the remaining 2.3% of NAV for the quarter. Accordingly, BREIT repurchased approximately $1.3 billion in November, equal to its 2% of NAV monthly limit and approximately 43% of each investor’s repurchase request. In December, up to 0.3% of NAV will be eligible for repurchase to total 5% of NAV for the quarter. If BREIT receives elevated repurchase requests in the first quarter of 2023, BREIT intends to fulfill repurchases at the 2% of NAV monthly limit, subject to the 5% of NAV quarterly limit.
Under the Repurchase Plan, unfulfilled repurchase requests will not be carried over automatically. Investors will need to resubmit any unsatisfied portion of their current repurchase request for repurchase in the future.
