This Amendment No. 3 (Amendment No. 3) to Schedule 13D relates to the class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Issuer), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on December 21, 2012 (the Schedule 13D), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on March 27, 2013 and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on May 8, 2013. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
On May 14, 2013, the Issuer filed Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-187541) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed offering of shares of the Issuers Common Stock (the Proposed Offering). In connection with the Proposed Offering, Blackstone Holdings III has communicated an interest in purchasing an aggregate of up to $50.0 million of shares of the Issuers Common Stock in the Proposed Offering at the public offering price. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase and no price has been fixed, the underwriters for the Proposed Offering could determine to sell more, less or no shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Persons and the Reporting Persons may purchase more, less or no shares of Common Stock based on their continuing review of Blackstone Holdings IIIs investment in the Issuer.
Previously, Holdings III entered into a Lock-Up Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2013, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 6 to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Issuer on March 27, 2013 and incorporated herein by reference.
