Dear Sirs/Madams,

 

PROPOSED ISSUE BY BASALT 2026-1 DE DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY OF COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED FLOATING RATE NOTES (the “Issue”)

 

We have performed the procedures enumerated below on certain commercial mortgages (the “Loan Pool”), which were agreed to by the Issuer, the Arranger, the Lead Manager, the Managers and the other Managers (as defined in the Engagement Letter). The procedures were performed to assist you in evaluating the validity of certain characteristics of the Loan Pool. This agreed upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The appropriateness of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Issuer, the Arranger, the Lead Manager and the Managers. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the appropriateness of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

 

This report (the “Asset Agreed Upon Procedures Report”) is addressed to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the Arranger, the Lead Manager and the Managers identified in the Engagement Letter who have agreed to participate in the proposed Issue.

 

These procedures were established with the Issuer, and the appropriateness of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the Issuer, the Arranger, the Lead Manager and the Managers as discussed above. The Issuer shall be solely responsible for providing accurate and complete information requested by Deloitte necessary to perform the procedures. Deloitte has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer, even if Deloitte had reason to know or should have known of such inaccuracy or incompleteness.

 

The procedures that we performed and our findings are as follows:

The procedures performed were as defined in Appendix 3 of the Engagement Letter (the “Agreed Upon Procedures”).

 

The Issuer provided us with a data file ‘Project Topaz - Strat Tables - December 2025 (incl. EPC) - v6.xlsx’ (the “First Pool Run”) containing information for each of the 10,406 units in the Loan Pool as at 9 December 2025 (the “Cut-off Date”).

 

A random sample of 59 units was selected from the First Pool Run (the “Sample” and the “Sample Pool”) using the sampling approach below.

 

We have carried out the Agreed Upon Procedures on the Sample Pool during the period 11 March 2026 to 27 May 2026.

 

The sampling approach

 

Sampling confidence is the probability that the actual errors, within a total population, are contained within the range of an estimate. Precision is the range of that estimate. The precision limit is the estimated maximum predicted number of errors within the total population. Sampling confidence and precision are stated in percentages.

 

Attribute sampling is a method of assessing the rate of occurrences of a specified attribute in a population and requires agreed upon procedures in relation to certain characteristics of a random sample of individual units. In this case the Agreed Upon Procedures related to the documentation and procedures that support the Sample Pool contained in the First Pool Run.

 

Our method of calculating attribute sample sizes is based on the binomial probability distribution.

Statistical tests can only provide estimates of the error.

 

The procedures we have undertaken, set out in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.11 under the pool agreed upon procedures section below, has been limited to confirming that the selected attribute from the Sample Pool information relating to the First Pool Run agreed to the original loan documentation or copies thereof provided to us in the loan file. We are entitled to assume that the loan documentation is correct and we have not sought to independently verify this information. The loan documentation used in these Agreed upon Procedures was the lease agreements and valuation reports.

 

Objectives

 

On the assumption that the information in the First Pool Run is a complete and accurate representation of the Loan Pool, the sample sizes chosen were designed with the objective of us being able to state that there is a 95% confidence that not more than 5% of the population of the First Pool Run contained an error in the relevant attribute. Where errors were found in the Sample Pool, we have recalculated the percentage errors that there might be in the First Pool Run and noted the revised percentage below. It is for you to ensure you understand this basis of reporting and to determine whether the errors are acceptable to you and for the purposes of the Issue.

 

2.Pool agreed upon procedures


For each unit in the Sample Pool, we carried out the following agreed upon procedures and have given a confidence and precision percentage for each procedure.
