During April 2014, the Company closed a $210,000 fixed-rate, five-year first mortgage loan secured by a portfolio of 229 single-family and condominium homes located across North and Central America, the Caribbean and England. Simultaneous with closing, the Company syndicated $104,000 of the first mortgage to other funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and retained $106,000. The first mortgage loan has an appraised loan-to-value of approximately 49% and was underwritten to generate an IRR of approximately 8.2% on an unlevered basis. The Company anticipates financing the loan and on a levered basis, the loan was underwritten to generate an IRR of approximately 15%. During April 2014, the Company closed a $53,954 (£32,100) fixed rate, nine-month mezzanine loan in connection with the purchase of an existing commercial building that is expected to be re-developed into a 173,000 salable square foot residential condominium in Central London. The mezzanine loan is part of a $126,060 (£75,000) pre-development loan comprised of a $72,106 (£42,900) first mortgage and the Company's $53,954 (£32,100) mezzanine loan. The Company will have the option, but not the obligation, to participate in the development financing. The Company’s loan basis represents a 78% appraised loan-to-value and the mezzanine loan has been underwritten to generate an IRR of approximately 12%. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company deployed $24,676 of equity to acquire legacy CMBS originally rated AAA with an aggregate purchase price of $123,378. The Company financed the CMBS utilizing $98,702 of borrowings under a new $100 million term repurchase facility. The CMBS have a weighted average life of 3.2 years and have been underwritten to generate an IRR of 17%. Repurchase agreements. During April 2014, the Company through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "DB Facility") with Deutsche Bank AG ("DB") pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $100,000 in order to finance the acquisition of CMBS. The DB Facility has a term of four years, subject to certain restrictions. Advances under the DB Facility accrue interest at a per annum pricing rate based on the rate implied by the fixed rate bid under a fixed for floating interest rate swap for the receipt of payments indexed to three-month US Dollar LIBOR, plus a financing spread ranging from 1.80% to 2.32% based on the rating of the collateral pledged. The Company borrows an amount equal to the product of the estimated fair value of the collateral pledged divided by a margin ratio ranging from 125.00% to 181.82% depending on the collateral pledged Additionally, beginning on August 1, 2014 and depending on the utilization rate of the facility, a portion of the undrawn amount may be subject to non-use fees. The DB Facility contains customary terms and conditions for repurchase facilities of this type and financial covenants to be met by the Company, including minimum shareholder's equity of 50% of the gross capital proceeds of its initial public offering and any subsequent public or private offerings. On April 25, 2014, the Company, through two subsidiaries, entered into a letter agreement to temporarily waive, for a period of up to 30 days, compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the JPMorgan Facility that requires the Company to maintain minimum liquidity of the greater of 10% of total consolidated recourse indebtedness and $12,500. The waiver was granted in connection with the Company's proposed funding of certain assets, to provide the parties additional time to modify the JPMorgan Facility and may be revoked by JPMorgan at any time. There can be no assurance of when or if the Company will be able to accomplish such modification, or on what terms such modification, if any, would be.
