The Registration Statement registered for sale and issuance shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, debt securities and warrants, of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”).

 

On July 25, 2021, the Company, Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc.

As a result of the Merger, the surviving company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FBRT.
