On May 16, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), BMO Commercial Mortgage Securities LLC (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2025 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Trustee, of the BMO 2025-5C10 Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-5C10 (the “Certificates”) and the Uncertificated VRR Interest. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement was attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Depositor’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 16, 2025 under Commission File No. 333-280224-06.

The Certificates consist of the following classes, designated as (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Public Certificates”), (ii) the Class X-D, Class D, Class E, Class F-RR, Class XFRR, Class G-RR, Class XGRR, Class J-RR, Class XJRR and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Private Certificates”), and (iii) the Class VRR Certificates.

All of the Public Certificates, having an aggregate initial principal amount of $552,563,000, were sold to BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO Capital Markets”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“GS&Co.”), SG Americas Securities, LLC (“SGAS”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS Securities”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”), Bancroft Capital, LLC (“Bancroft”), Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) and Mischler Financial Group, Inc. (“Mischler” and, together with BMO Capital Markets, CGMI, DBSI, GS&Co., SGAS, UBS Securities, Academy, Bancroft and Drexel, in such capacity, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2025 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Depositor and the Underwriters. BMO Capital Markets, CGMI, DBSI, GS&Co., SGAS and UBS Securities are acting as co-lead managers in connection with the offering of the Public Certificates. The Public Certificates were offered by the Underwriters for sale to the public, pursuant to the Depositor’s Preliminary Prospectus, dated April 23, 2025, and by the Prospectus, dated April 28, 2025 (the “Prospectus”), in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale. In connection with the issuance, and sale to the Underwriters, of the Public Certificates, a legal opinion was rendered related to the validity of, and certain federal income tax considerations relating to, the Public Certificates, which legal opinion is attached hereto as Exhibit 5. The Prospectus was filed with the Commission on April 30, 2025 under Commission File Number 333-280224-06.

All of the Private Certificates, having an aggregate initial principal amount of $20,121,000 were sold to BMO Capital Markets, CGMI, DBSI, GS&Co., SGAS, UBS Securities, Academy, Bancroft, Drexel and Mischler (together with BMO Capital Markets, CGMI, DBSI, GS&Co., SGAS, UBS Securities, Academy, Bancroft and Drexel, in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2025 between the Depositor and the Initial Purchasers. The Private Certificates were sold in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

The net proceeds of the sale of the Certificates and the Uncertificated VRR Interest were applied to the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor from Bank of Montreal (“BMO”), Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. (“CREFI”), German American Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, Greystone Commercial

 
 

Mortgage Capital LLC, Societe Generale Financial Corporation, Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, UBS AG and Zions Bancorporation, N.A. The net proceeds to the Depositor of the offering of the Certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Depositor in connection with the issuance and distribution of the Certificates of approximately $4,968,993.95, were approximately $630,388,377.75. Of the expenses paid by the Depositor, approximately $143,479.00 were paid directly to affiliates of the Depositor, approximately $80,000.00 in the form of fees were paid to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, approximately $131,703.04 were paid to or for the counsel to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers, and approximately $4,613,811.91 were other expenses. All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Depositor’s reasonable estimates of such expenses. No underwriting discounts and commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Depositor.

Further information regarding sales of the Public Certificates is set forth in the Underwriting Agreement (including, as to the price per class of Public Certificates, on Schedule II thereto) attached as Exhibit 1 to the Depositor’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on April 30, 2025 under Commission File No. 333-280224-06, and in the Prospectus. The related registration statement (file no. 333-280224) was originally declared effective on October 10, 2024.

BMO, in its capacity as “retaining sponsor” (as such term is defined in Regulation RR (12 C.F.R. Part 244) promulgated under Section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Regulation RR”)) is satisfying a portion of its credit risk retention obligation under Regulation RR in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans referred to above by the acquisition from the Depositor, on the Closing Date in transactions exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act, of portions of a “single vertical security” (as defined in Regulation RR) that is an “eligible vertical interest” (as defined in Regulation RR) in the Issuing Entity, with an aggregate initial principal balance of approximately $8,854,424 as of the Closing Date, consisting of (i) the Uncertificated VRR Interest retained by BMO and (ii) the Class VRR Certificates acquired by CREFI as described below (collectively referred to as the “Combined VRR Interest”). The Combined VRR Interest represents at least 1.4100% of the sum of the initial certificate balance of all of the Certificates and the aggregate initial principal balance of the Uncertificated VRR Interest as of the Closing Date. The Combined VRR Interest will entitle the holder thereof to a specified percentage of the amounts paid on each other class of ABS interests in the Issuing Entity. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the BMO Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, BMO received, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act, as partial consideration for the Mortgage Loans and/or portions thereof that BMO transferred to the Depositor, a portion of the Combined VRR Interest in the form of the Uncertificated VRR Interest with an initial principal balance of $6,283,642. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the CREFI Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, CREFI, an “originator” (within the meaning of Regulation RR) of Mortgage Loans and/or portions thereof representing approximately 29.03388% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all the Mortgage Loans, acquired from the Depositor, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Act, a portion of the Combined VRR Interest in the form of the Class VRR Certificates with an initial certificate balance of $2,570,782, in exchange for a reduction in the price that CREFI received for its sale to the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans and/or portions thereof that it transferred to the Depositor.

BMO, in its capacity as “retaining sponsor”, is satisfying the remainder of its credit risk retention obligation under Regulation RR in connection with the securitization of the Mortgage Loans referred to above by the purchase on the Closing Date and holding by RREF V - D AIV RR L, LLC of an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in Regulation RR), consisting of all of the Class F-RR, Class XFRR, Class G-RR, Class XGRR, Class J-RR and Class XJRR Certificates.
