On October 23, 2026, Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into an underwriting agreement, dated as of October 23, 2026 and attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

On October 23, 2026, the Registrant also entered into a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of October 23, 2026, with DBSI, Drexel and Mischler (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) and GACC, with respect to the sale of the Privately Offered Certificates (as defined below), that is also scheduled to occur on or about the Closing Date. The Privately Offered Certificates will be sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

On or about the Closing Date, the Registrant is expected to cause the issuance of the AXDB 2026-MULT1 Mortgage Trust (“Issuing Entity”) Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2026-MULT1 (the “Certificates”), pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and dated as of November 1, 2026 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Trimont LLC, as master servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Certificates will consist of (x) the following classes (each, a “Class”), designated as (i) the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class A-M, Class B and Class C Certificates, having an aggregate initial certificate balance of $483,577,000 (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”), (ii) the Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class R Certificates, having an aggregate initial certificate balance of $64,386,000 (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”).

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the Issuing Entity, a common law trust to be formed on or about the Closing Date, under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets will be a pool of 38 multifamily and manufactured housing mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee simple in 55 multifamily and/or manufactured housing properties. Certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from GACC pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and dated October 23, 2026, between the Registrant and GACC; and certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from AXMF 2026-1 LLC (“AXMF”) pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and dated October 23, 2026, between the Registrant, AXMF and Axonic Alternative Income Fund.

The funds that will be used by the Registrant to pay the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans will be derived from the proceeds of (i) the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates by the Registrant to the Underwriters, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and (ii) the sale of the Privately Offered Certificates by the Registrant to the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to the Certificate Purchase Agreement. Only the Publicly Offered Certificates will be offered to the public.
