Variable Interest Entities and Collateralized Loan Obligations Variable Interest Entities and Collateralized Loan Obligations
Subsidiaries of the Company have financed certain of the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio through the issuance of collateralized loan obligations.
On November 17, 2025, TPG RE Finance Trust CLO Sub-REIT (“Sub-REIT”), a subsidiary of the Company, issued a $1.1 billion collateralized loan obligation with $957.0 million of investment-grade bonds outstanding (“TRTX 2025-FL7” or “FL7”). TRTX 2025-FL7 permits the Company, during the 30 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2025-FL7 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The Company utilized the reinvestment feature during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. In connection with TRTX 2025-FL7, the Company incurred $7.3 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On March 28, 2025, Sub-REIT issued a $1.1 billion collateralized loan obligation with $962.5 million of investment-grade bonds outstanding and a discount of $2.4 million (“TRTX 2025-FL6” or “FL6”). TRTX 2025-FL6 permits the Company, during the 30 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2025-FL6 in exchange for cash, which provides additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The Company utilized the reinvestment feature during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. In connection with TRTX 2025-FL6, the Company incurred $7.6 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On February 16, 2022, Sub-REIT issued a collateralized loan obligation (“TRTX 2022-FL5” or “FL5”). TRTX 2022-FL5 permitted the Company, during the 24 months after closing, to contribute eligible new loans or participation interests in loans to TRTX 2022-FL5 in exchange for cash, which provided additional liquidity to the Company to originate new loan investments as underlying loans repay. The reinvestment period for TRTX 2022-FL5 ended on February 9, 2024. In accordance with the TRTX 2022-FL5 indenture, prior to the end of the reinvestment period, the Company committed to contribute certain loan assets and completed the contribution process on April 12, 2024. In connection with TRTX 2022-FL5, the Company incurred $6.5 million of deferred financing costs, including issuance, legal, and accounting related costs.
On May 15, 2026, the Company redeemed TRTX 2022-FL5, which at its redemption had $597.8 million of investment-grade bonds outstanding. 17 loans or participation interests with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $698.1 million held by the trust were primarily refinanced by the upsize of the Wells Fargo secured credit agreement. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for details regarding the upsize of the Wells Fargo secured credit agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company evaluated the key attributes of the issuers of the CRE CLOs ("CRE CLO Issuers"), which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, to determine if they were VIEs and, if so, whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of their operating activities and therefore consolidate the CRE CLOs. The Company concluded that the CRE CLO Issuers are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the most significant activities of the CRE CLO Issuers, the obligation to absorb losses to the extent of its equity investments, and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these entities. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the Company consolidated the CRE CLO Issuers.
